WAR WEEKLY ISSUED
FOR BOYS IN SERVICE
Trench Edition. of Harrisburg Telegraph to Keep Soldiers
in Close Touch With HON Ties While Bearing Arms
For Uncle Sam; Pub lished Every Saturday

The Harrisburg Telegraph to-day
begins the publication of a special
War Weekly" designed to meet :he
ever increasing demands of the thou
sands of central Pennsylvania lads
in Uncle Sans service for news from
home. The War Weekly will be
regular feature of Saturdays edi-
lions and is so arranged that it may
be clipped easily and mailed to the
soldier boys in France and in the
training camps.
With hardly an exception every
letter from the front tells of the
avidity with which every scrap of
news from home is awaited and the
long delays experienced in getting
newspapers delivered in France.
Thus when every available bit of
shipping is being utilized in rushing
men and steel to back up the fight
ers already on the front and the
shipment of newspapers is held up
for weeks the men have been obliged
to do without the interesting bits
of home life gossip that does so
much to keep the home ties from be-
ing severed.
Many soldiers remark of the rather
steady transportation of letter mall
end 1t is for this reason that the de-
mand for long letters from home is

Thieves Get Contents Of
Mrs. Smiths Jewelcase,
After Forcing a Window

Police are searching for persons
who entered the Harrisburg Broker
age Office, 171S North Second street,
yesterday afternoon and stole the
contents of the jewel case from a
second floor bedroom occupied by
Mrs. Frank A. Smith.
Police declared that the front door
showed signs of having been Jim
mied" open. On the bureau where
the jewel case had been left by Mrs.
Smith, a screw driver was found,
which when fitted into the marks on
the door by city detectives corre-
sponded exactly with the marks
there.
Mrs. Smith did not place an esti-
mate on the value of the jewelry
stolen. Chief of Police Wetzel said 1t
totaled $1,000.
There was no one at home at the
time of. the robbery. Mrs. Smith was
downtown and the servants were out
The jewel case was left on the bu-
reau while Mrs. Smith went down
town. She was gone from until 6
o'clock.

New Traffic Rules Are
Made For Busy Corners

The traffic regulations have heen
changed ut the corners of Fourth
and Walnut and Third and Walnut
to comply with the conditions there
it was announced this morning.
Instead of running around the Of
ficer, automobiles which turn into
one of those streets from another
run across the corner in front Of
the officer, rather than running
around him. Because of the extreme
narrowness of the streets, it is some
times difficult for large automobiles
to run clear around the officer, it wos
said. Autolsts and pedestrians who
are not usedd to the changes are not
entirely favorable to the new rule.
The regulations at the other cor
ners remain the same.

ENEMY MORALE HARD
HIT BY GENL FOCHS
TREMENDOUS BLOWS
of Allied Artillery Tactics Makes Impossible
For Germans to Hold Well-Proected Positions French
Advance to Edge of the Great Battlefield of 1917

With the French Army in France,
Aug. 24.-Further evidence has been
gathered that the victories of the
Allies have affected considerably the
morale of the German troops.
The cause of the depression which
is quite general among the prisoners
taken recently, is the conclusion that
they have reached, after compari
sons, that the Allies artillery tactics
are far superior to theirs. They at
tribute their defeat to the success of
the French in encircling their strong
est position and in well-directed and
concentrated artillery fire. Thus they
have been unable to hold even their
best sheltered positions.
The bulk of the Juvigny plateau is
in the hands of the French, who are
again on the edge of the battlefield
of 1917. To the north lies the Ailette
valley. Eight miles eastward is Laf-
faux hill and the beginning of Chem

being made constantly. With the
publication of the War Weekly" IN
such form that it may be clipped
and mailed as a regular letter SOL
diers at the front and in camps are
assured of getting a complete di-
gest each week of all the important
happenings at home.
No attempt will be made in the
weekly to cover every happening
but each Gays report will be a con-
densation CT all the major news that
will be of intense interest to the
young and strong. The soldier who
gets War Weekly" from a reIa-
tive or friend will know what his
friends at homo are doing to support
the Red Cross. what is being done
with the Liberty Loans, how many
of his old friends are being called
to serve Uncle Sam by his side and
the many other things a soldier has
the right to know.
The War Weekly is not, os
course, offered as a substitute for
personal correspondence with The
soldiers but is designed to supple
ment 1t. Inc soldier will find 1t a
welcome addition to his mail from
home.
The first issue of the weekly will
be found to-day on page IL.

300 YOUTHS OF
q REGISTERING
FOR WAR SERVICE
Local Draft Boards Add the
Names of Those Just At
tanning Majority

Harrisburg and Dauphin county
youths who have attained their ma
jority since June went to the local
draft boards to-day in n steady
stream, lnd by tonight it is esti-
mated that nearly 500 new names
will be on the list of registrants for
Army service.
Registration this morning was
light but it is thought that they will
increase this afternoon, owing to the
fact that rIany business places shut
down Saturday afternoon. The local
draft boards will remain open until
o'clock this evening for youths who
cannot register during the day.
Registration Heavy
About 1870 men were registered
before IL o'clock this morning at the
three city and three county boards.
The registra ton was far heavier dur
ing the morning at the county boards
than at the city boards.
At city board No. l ten men reg
istered before 1890. The board ex-
poets to register about thirty-,ive
men.
City board No. registered six
men before 1890, and estimated that
it would register twenty-five until to-
night. City board No. 3 registered
the most of the city boards this
morning, fourteen men. 1t expects
to register sixty during the day.
Register Late i'm County
The registration at the county
boards was heavier it is thought,
because many of them represented
farmers who can find it more con-
venient to come in during the morn
ing. At Steelton, Board No. /, about
forty men were registered before
noon and seventy expected before
tonight.
County Board No. Q registered
twenty-fou- men this morning.
County board No. 3 at Eliza b0hyille,
registered fifteen men and expects
fifty.
1t was stated at the draft boards
that the men will likely receive their
questionnaires next week, and classi-
fcation will follow quickly. Several
of the boards are in urgent need of
more men to fill their depleted lists.

city firemen out on strike, the engine
houses deserted except for a lone
policeman as custodian of the city
property, a fire. broke out in the
wholesale business section of Penn
avenue, shortly after 2 o'clock and a
few minutes later a general alarm
was sent in. At the first alarm one
hose carriage and three firemen who
had stuck to their posts appeared on
the scene. The fire was in a long
row two-story brick buildings and
the flames were licking along the
structures and fast gaining such
headway as to threaten many blocks.
Men from manufacturing plants
nearby rushed with hose from the
plants and coupled to street hydrants
and attacked the blaze. Apparatus
was observed rolling to the fire from
all sections of the outer districts.
manned by automobile experts and
civilians in all walks of life who vol
unteered in the citys distress. One
set of apparatus was manned by SOL
diers from a training camp and as
it rushed through the streets, crowds
lined the curb and cheered.
About an hour after the general
alarm had been sent in, some one no.
titled the labor temple, where the
firemen were holding a meeting and
the four members of downtown
company rushed to their old station,
commandeered the apparatus and ap-
parently forgetting their grievances
rolled off to the fire in citizens
clothes, as though from force of
habit.
When they had reached the scene.
the fire had been well controlled by
the amateur firefghters.
