MEN OF EVERY RACE PLEDGE
THEMSELVES TO UNITED STATES
Thousands Upon Thousands Pledge Their Loyalty MdSsed
Choirs Lead Great Song Festival

Scenes in the Capitol Park where
the crowds massed for community
singing and to repeat the pledge of
loyalty were probably the most i'm
pressive patriotic demonstrations of
the day. Thousands upon thousands
with practically every nationality
of the main entrance to the Capitol.
A word from Abner w. Hartman
and the Municipal Band started one
of the national anthems. A volume
of song from the throats of the null
titude gradually increasing to all
parts of the grounds in the vicinity
of the band followed, and every
where was carried on. AS the peo-
pie in the park were singing many
thousands more scattered over miles
of the city's streets were carrying on
similar refrains, bands were playing
martial airs and countless thousands
lined along the sidewalks and streets
echoed within themselves a patriotic
fervor never before aroused to such
q pitch.
| After singing several of the pa
triotic songs of the United States
and her Allies. Judge S. ]. M Nc
Carroll came forward and. standing
before the great assemblage. he ask
ed them all to repeat the American

Who are they? What do they

way might they become a powerful
factor in the war?

all eager to show their loyalty to the
American government, participated
In this great demonstration, .un-
doubtedly the most patriotic one ever
given in Harrisburg. So anxious were
many of these that Judge McCarrell
barely had finished part of a sem

were repeating 1t:

foreign-born people for their re-
sponse to 1t came as a surging chant
of liberty. Men, women and children
repeated it in reverent tones.
And as the pledge of loyalty was
finished, one man. with decidedly
foreign accent, whispered. THANK
God for America" as he wiped tears
from his eyes.
With the opening bars of the
Star Spangled Banner" almost as
one hats were removed and once
again the thousands sang their 10y
atty to the starry flag of freedom.
A touching scene of the devotion
of the children of foreign-born citi-
zens occurred during the singing,
boys and girls ranging in age from
6 10 20 all joining.
Scattered over the stretches OF
lawn in the park were a number OF
bands, many of them playing pa
triotic numbers as they marched to
the grounds.

Refusal to Dof Hats While
National Anthem Is Played
Cause For Several Near-Riots

Respect for the National Anthem!
This was one lesson learned yester-
day by some Indifferent persons who
will observe in the future unless
helpless in the hospital. The first in
cident recorded happened during the
parade when the p. r. r. boys were
halted and a band played the Star
Spangled Banner"
why don't you take off your hat
and show some respect" demanded
one of the marchers of a spectator
who only grinned sourly.
That's my hat, and I'll do what
1 like with it," said he.
You'll take it off if you're loyal
American" said the Pennsy husky
and with that he swung his flag and
knocked off the offending chapeau,
which rolled out in the line of parade
and was trampled to smithereens
while the crowd roared it's approval.
A second striking illustration of
lack of observance for the national
anthem occurred in Reservoir Park
last evening when an apathetic man
escorted lively, responsive-looking
girl to seat near the bandstand.
When the national anthem sounded
every person in the entire audience
arose, excepting this benighted
swain. The girl tried to make him
get up and real Americans near by
sympathiZed with her efforts. But
the yokel, who was Immediately
stamped as pro-German, kept glued
to the bench.
HE is not a true American. 4"

spot, and another man, equally mus
cular, Joined in. The two grabbed

Cape May, n. J., July 5.-Sewell's
Point section base, the headquarters
for the Fourth Naval District sub
marine patrol fleet. which came into
prominence recently when the
U-boats were raiding the Atlantic
coast, was completely destroyed by
fire under suspicious circumstances.
The loss, estimated at upward of
5000, 900, includes the most complete
equipment of navel stores on the
New Jersey coast. Two enlisted men
were overcome by smoke and many
acts of heroism in saving powder
and gasoline for the scout patrol
boats were recorded.

tion. and aided by Secret Service
men, the authorities investigated
every clue that pointed to, incendiar-
ism.
Firemen first on the scene said
they found pieces of oil-soaked rope,
partly consumed, near the burned
buildings, and spectators said the
fire apparently began in four differ
ent parts of the station at the same
time A third factor that might have
aided enemies was the absence of
nearly all the sailors, who were pa
rading downtown in Fourth of July
pageant. The station was almost
deserted, ii was said.

The fire was discovered shortly af-
ter 1890 o'clock. Within a few
minutes the entire station was a

Before repeating the American

are here to-day as American citizens,
grateful for the blessings we here
enjoy and loyal to it's principles. We
have a government of which we are
proud; we believe in its principles
and we now desire to state those
principles anew. 1 will repeat the
Greed of every loyal American citi-
zen, sentence by sentence, and 1 ask
that you follow me by repeating the
words I USE"
(Pledge was then repeated in this
way and the audience responded).
At the close of the pledge Judge
McCarrell said:

let us here and now in the language
of those who adopted the original
Declaration pledge our lives. our

BUGLER HAS FUN

The Tankers we're a lively lot and
had much fun when they reached
the Capitol plaza. They had been
on the way almost from daybreak
and when l o'clock rolled around
they were ready to eat. The COM
mitteeman in charge of them could
not be found and when the Tankers
had stood at attention and helped
in the community singing a hunt
for orders was made. No one was
there to tell them what to do, and
the bugler, who seemed to have a
sense of humor, blew a caA to hunt
for stragglers. When that did not
produce the missing committeeman
he blew mess call with much feeling.
And finally in despair he blew re-
treat and taps. About that time
Mercer B. Tate was pressed into
service and gave some orders which
started the Tankers on the way to
lunch. 1t was not his job, but he did
not stand on ceremony because some
one had slipped cog.

TROOPS ON BOARD
Passengers on English Liner
Tell How Five Enemy Sub
marines Went Under

An Atlantic Port, July 5.-Destruc-
tiop in European waters of five Ger
man submarines by British transports
and. by American and British de-
stroyers conveying them, was de-
scribed by passengers who arrived
here yesterday on an English liner.
The transports, one of which was
carrying 1000 American soldiers to
Europe. accounted for three of the
U-boats, and the destroyers sunk the
other two. according to the voyagers.
Officers of the liner confirmed their
stories.
The passengers witnessed the tor
pedoing of the 5.436-ton British
freighter Orissa, which was part of
their convoy. when the fleet was ap-
proXimately day out, steaming west
from the British Isles. The Orissa,
bound in ballast for the United
States. was sent to the bottom by
an unseen submarine. A moment
later, however. an American de-
stroyer in the protecting fleet. de-
tected the undersea boat below the
surface and dropped a depth bomb,
making a direct hit. according to the
story related here. The same even
ing U-boat was sighted by the pas
senger vessel, whose gunners sank it
by shell fire.
The other three submarines were
destroyed, according to the returned
travellers. on the eastward trip of an
other convoy. They declared that a
large British transport. with 1000
American troops aboard, rammed a
submersihle which was revealed with
two others in the sudden lifting of a
heavy fog. Almost simultaneously
with the disappearance of the first
submarine beneatl the transports
bow. the big ships gunners account
ed for another of the German craft,
while a British destroyer disposed of
the third.

Able Katzen Has a Bad
Hour During the Parade

Ftve-year-old Able Katzen stood
with his mother along Sixth street
near Hamilton yesterday watching
the parade. The music of bands and
the hutter of flags thrilled his little
soul and when a band struck UP the
Russian hymn his small bare feet
Kept time to the strains While he
listened he saw a small compatriot
oash across Sixth street to get bet
Ter view of the procession. He fol-
lowed. His mother did not notice and
httle Abe didn't realize the letting go
OF the maternal apron strings. Mean
Whlle bands kept playing and flags
responded to the morning breezes.
Tiny Abe watched on. Suddenly he
looked about him. Every face was
strange and he began to cry. Then
ne started to walk. AS he walked he
wept. In Harris street a Telegraph
reporter found him sobbing as If his
heart would break and learned he
had strayed from. his mother. He
couldn't tell the name of the street
in which he lived and his broken
voice could not make intelligible
the parental name he tried to say.
The newspaperman took him to the
Good VIII enginehouse and got in
communication with the police de-
partment. A fellow countryman
across Sixth street, attracted by the
crowd, made his way into the engine
house.
why that's little Able Katzen. He
lives at 1880 Wallace street" said the
newcomer. A Good VIII fireman
took out a red handkerchief. dried
the little Katzen's tears and led him
comforted away to his home. An
hour in the tots Fourth of July pro-
gram had been given over to weep
ing. but he had learned the lesson OF
not leaving the mother wing toe
early.

but the new arrangements will be
announced in a day or two.
Orders Are Imperative
The letter received by traction
company officials late Wednesday
from Mr.. Cole contains imperative
orders to the local companies to re-
port at once their plans to him. 1t is
as follows:
1T is imperative that the inaugu-
ration of the skip-stop system be
made effective in Pennsylvania not
later than July 10. 1t is the present
intention of the administration to
institute the skip-stop system
throughout the state on that day.
You will, therefore, speed the pro-
gram as rapidly as possible so as to
be ready to eliminate the stops at
the same time other companies will.
THE necessity for saving coal is
becoming more important daily, and
you will impress upon the people OF
your community that the skip-stop
system, while causing a great deal OF
personal inconvenience, is the wisest
possible method that can be taken
in transportation circles to save fuel
May l suggest that you frankly
tell the newspapermen that either
the skip-stop system must become
effective at once, or a general reduc-
ton in the number of cars now oper-
ating will be the only alternative for
the administration to take.
Refusal on the part of any COM
pany, municipality or any other or
ganization to permit the institution
of the skip-stop system will result in
drastic federal action to save fuel.
Street railway companies, either
directly or through their county
Chairmen, are required to furnish
this office with the following infor-
nation: Number of stops eliminat-
ed; estimated monthly tonnage
saved; saving in running time OF
cars, together with any other infor-
administration"
