AN OATH OF HONOR.


We will not grasp the outstretched hand Of guilt
Stained with dearest blood.
Or be seduced from this resolve.
By proffercd trade seeming amity
From those who sought nations life
And killed. through tragic, unrepentant years,
Intrigued TO seize our liberties.
The great inheritance from our fathers,
And boldly threatened ambassadors
When this ends.
Must we have laughing intmacics.
Light hearted dealings
On the counters, in the home,
With this deinOnac
Who'll seek reinvade our land
With rabid hopes of gain
And insOlent assumption
They think 10 win and
With mess of pottage. or a piece Of gold.
Or by persuasive arts and promises,
Great heaven forbid
Hold hold our honor secure than this
And give at least a decorOus SPACE to Rrief
Or let the shame, repronch, OF all mankind
Be ferceiy cast
We swear that for a full ten years
That followed this dread war.
n memory Of the heroic allied dead,
And pity for the living.
And in protest 'ganst a and kings
That have destroyed 10 600 600 lives,
We buy M goods, made by the hands
or this mad outlawed folk,
Or touch their materials.
BY solemn act of government
Our ports should drape in mourning
Whence German ship appears upon shores
So only MAY teach the Teuton greed
The sanctity of life and property.
And keep our own high rectitudc Of purpose.
Oh, LET not like weaklinQs be,
Balancing some petty future gain or loss.

Community Singing in
Steele School Appealed

Last night was memorable in the
upper end of the city for a remark
able community singing gathering in
the Steele school building, where the
huge auditorium was filled to the
limit with scholars from this school,
Camp Curtin and a number of
churches in the neighborhood. 1t
was the first experiment in this new
fest has been heard. The affair was
under direction of Miss Mildred
Conkling, who had the choruses
from the two schools sing alternate
ly and then tried, with immense
success, the singing of my Country
'Tis of Thee" by the audience and
"The American Message" by the
school children. Camp Curtin or
chestra, consisting of ten young
sters, one girl and nine boys, none
of them over fourteen, made one of
the hits of the evening. The piano
solo by Lillian Forysthe was also
greatly enjoyed. Chairman Hooker
had number of guests on the plat
form, among them the Rev. Messrs.
Snyder and Dougherty, and Prof.
Brehm. Mrs. e. ]. Decevee had a
most interesting message for the
young folks, telling them how COM
munity singing was useful in Bible
days; through great periods of war
and how significant it is now. The
evening was so fruitful of pleasure
that it was voted to have another in
a couple weeks and to conduct song
tests right along through the sum-
mer in the city Fairgrounds.

BIG SPIRIT OF

New York Banker Shouts the
Truth That Is to Bring
Kaiser to Knees

''It is the spirit of fraternity that
is going to make the allied armies
win this war;" declared Franklin D.
Kirkbride, a New York banker. ad-
dressing a luncheon held in the
Central Y. M. c. A. building this
noon. The conference was held for
the purpose of stimulating recruit
ing of Y. NJ. C. A. secretaries for
overseas service. Mr.. Kirkbride was
a member of the Overseas commits
sion appointed by the National War
Work Council to inspect the service
of the Y. M. G. A. throughout
France. He described vividly the
work of the Y M. C. A. secretary
and told of his own trip to the front.
Mr.. Kirkbride told story of a poilu
who came into the compartment oc-
cupied by himself and associates in
a French town; how a French Of
fcer came in and treated the poilu
as his equal, offering him cigarets
and lighting a match for him.
1T is that democratic spirit that
will bring Germany to her knees"
the speaker shouted.
Big Man Wanted
we want men of character, big,
healthy, happy men. Think of those
men in Harrisburg you can't spare
and then get them to go to France.
Those big men are the ones who will
do effective work.
"The American soldier is on the
job right to the DEATH" he said, tell
ing of the heroism of the men over
there. THE Y. M. C. A. is not a
minister's religious organization; il
is a big business organization; 1t
gives the boys the things the quar-
termaster can't supply. The Y. M.
G. A. pushes everything to the front
that is right; and General Pershing
pushes everything wrong to the
rear of the army" The speaker
told of the work accomplished-of
the thousands of things done every
day by the Y. M. C. A. secretary; of
an order for two million sheets of
letter paper and a million envelopes
for one week, and of the cable next
week saying, Double that station
cry order" Nothing matters now
but one thing and that is to win this
war" he affirmed. THE one thing
America has got to do is to help
win this war"
Opens With Prayer
The luncheon opened with prayer
by the Rev. Lewis S. Nudge, pastor
of Pine Street Presbyterian Church.

ers to buy.
To the Navy he paid this tribute.
There is no rank in sacrifice. l
should say that there are no longer
any common sailors in our Navy.
They are all uncommon heroes, not
one has failed"
The Secretary told how he had
named a destroyer after q gunner's
mate of the second class, saying:
1T has long been the custom 20
name ships or destroyers after admi-
rails, but 1 have established a prece-
dent One of the latest destroyers

after Oswald Ingram a gunner's
mate of the second class, who died

O hero.
Not so very long ago a submarine
launched torpedo against de
stroyer. Ingram, with his eye on
the U-boat, saw the silvery wake
and estimated that the deadly mis-
sle would strike the how where the
high explosives were kept. He knew
that if this happened the destroyer
would be blown to bits. He dashed
across the deck and before the tor
pedo had struck he had thrown
overheard the high explosives. but
in so doing he lost his own life.
Therefore, L have named a destroy
er after Oswald Ingram, gunner's
mate, second class, who died hero"

ENTERS MYSTERY
OF ALIEN SLAYER
Two Deaths Attributed to
Helmuth Schmidt; Police
Looking For Others
By Associated Press


Detroit, Mich, May 3.-Still an
other woman has entered the mys-
terry surrounding the matrimonial
affairs OF Helmuth Schmidt, self
slayer, beneath whose former home
here. the police yesterday excavated
and discovered the remains of Irma
Pallatinus, his housekeeper, who ap-
parently had been strangled. She is
Mrs. Helmuth Schmidt" of Chica-
go, who asked the authorities for a
picture of the man, who she believes
is the same to whom she was mar
ried in 1916 and who, she alleges,
robbed her of $4,000 and deserted
her.
With appearance in the case-of the
Chicago woman there are four
women, not including the 17-year-
old daughter, who may claim the
than $4,000. One of these, the
widow, Mrs. Tietz-Schmidt, was held
by the police at the time of her
husbands arrest and later released.
A third is Mrs. Adele Ulrich Braun,
who came from New York to claim
part of the estate, alleging that
Schmidt to whom she was married in
Lakewood, n. j., where Schmidt was
known as Braun, robbed her of $3,-
500 and deserted her. The other is
Mrs. John Swift, of New York.
With the identification of the
body of the Pallatinus woman late
yesterday the police now attribute
two deaths to Schmidt, Augusta
Steinbach, whose body he confessed
to having dismembered and burned,
having swallowed poison when he re-
fused to marry her. Renewed serach
is being made for Margaret Darsch
and Mrs. Anita Schmidt, two others
said to have married the man in
New Jersey and who suddenly dis
appeared.

ASCENSION DAY SERVICES
EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally.
so evenly. Preparing this mixture
though, at home is mussy and
troublesome. At little cost YOU can
buy at any drug store the ready-to-
use preparation, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through you hair, taking one small
strand at time. BY morning all
gray hair disappears. and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luXuriant.
Gray, faded hair. though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as
we all desire a youthful and attrac-
tive appearance, get busy at once
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound and look years younger.
This ready-to-use preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite and not a
medicine. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.

as we'll there has been a further i'm
provement of the entente position,
the French gaining ground in local
fighting there last night.
Hun Artillery in Action
The German artillery seems to
have turned its attention chiefly to
the southern side of the Flanders
salient and last night was lombard
ing the region along the fifteen-mile
line between Givenchy and Nieppe
wood. In several thrusts at this
front previously the enemy has been
unable to make any substantial
headway with the British lines sup
ported as they are by the barrier of
LaBassee Canal and backed up by
the commanding positions behind
Bethune
Flanders and Picardy, and the
Arras salient between, continue quiet
and the Germans have given no sign
of where the next blow will be or
when 1t will come. The present lull
in the fighting now exceeded three
days and there has been less minor
activity than during the previous
break in heavy fighting in Flanders.
The German offensive is not yet
ended in the view of military au-
thorities and the enemy is expected
to make further attempts to reach
the canal. The supreme interallied
war council has completed a two
days session with a meeting at Alb
beville, northwest of Amiens. All
military questions were discussed
and decided on and the results OBJ
tanned are reported to have been
most satisfactory. Premier Glen en-
ceau, who presided, said that Cen
eral Foch, who as a result of the
conference, it is reported, is COM
mander-in-chief of the allied forces
in the west, is very optimistic.
Artillery Continues Fire
In Flanders there has been no ac-
tivity except by the artill -, while
on the British portion of the Picardy
battle front German raid near He
buterne. north of Albert, has been
repulsed. South of the Somme the
enemy artillery is bombarding vio-
lently the Villers-B -Bretonneux re-
gion.
French troops have driven pack
the Germans in local attacks in Han
gard wood and southwest of Mailly-
Raineval, south OF Hangard, they
have recaptured Baune wood. Ber-
lin reports the situation, as unchang-
ed and records only artillery duels
on the various fronts.
OIneF frODtS quiet
Elsewhere on the western front in
Northern Italy and in Macedonia
there has been little activity. In
Italy the rains have ceased and the
weather has improved, but the fight
ing operations still are confined to
patrol engagements. In Palestine the
British have reoccupied Els Salt, east
of the Jordan and northeast If Jeri-
cho. More than 900 prisoners were
taken and the advance continues.
Germany and Austria Hungary
apparently are meeting with Difficult
ties in expressing the peoples of the
occupied Russian territories and as
a result there is grave uneasiness in
Germany. The Ukranian govern
ment has been overthrown by the
Germans and it is reported that a
new government, presumably favor
able to the central empires, has
taken the reins of power. Berlin
reports the occupation of Sebasto-
pol, the great Russian fortress and
naval base in the Crimea, but gives
no details.
