WIND-SWEPT
SNOW CLOSES
TROLLEY LINES
Suburban Service Tied Up
For Hours by Adverse
Weather Conditions

Harrisburg and vicinity awoke
ice. particularly the suburban lines,
snow drifted by n strong west wind.
At an early hour both Harrisburg
Railways and the Valley Railways
Company had large forces of men
reinforced by sweepers working to
clear the tracks for the resumption
of traffic
Large drifts stopped service on
the Rockville, Rutherford and
Lingletown lines of the Harrisburg
Railways Company. These lines
were opened about 9 o'clock all
though the high wind swept more
snow in the tracks making the cars
run back of schedule. On the VAL
ley Railways Company, the Enola
loop" was blocked and also the line
above Shiremanstown. Officials of
the company stated that an effort
was being made to open the loop
and maintain the usual schedule but
here also the wind was filing the
tracks as fast as the men and
sweepers cleared the way. The drifts
caused a car to be derailed on siding
No. 10, between West Fairview and
Wormleysburg. which also STONED
traffic for a time.
Many Forced to Walk
a large number of workmen from
Hummelstown arriving in the citv
had some interesting experiences to
relate to their fellow workmen about
the trolley tleup. Starting out to
locate the car the workmen began
walking toward the city. Arriving
at Paxtang almost at the point Of
exhaustion they were at n less
whether to return home or come on
to the city. Figuring out that II v.as
nearer to Harrisburg than their
home and also that they would have
to return afoot they again resumed
to march to the city, bravely facing
the cold wind.
The lowest temperature registared
for last night at the local Weather
Bureau was 9 degrees above zero.

Bishop McDevitt Warmly
Commends War Savings
Stamps to Harrisburgers

Bishop Philip R. McDevitt, of the
Catholic diocese of Harrisburg. III a
statement on the War Savings Stamp
plan, warmly commends it as afford
ing opportunity to save and at the
same time help the Government.
The statement of the bishop, who
was formerly superintendent of the
parochial schools of Philadelphia,
is as follows:
The Government in the War
Stamp proposal combines ad-
mjrably the useful and patrio-
tic. She affords all citizens,
even the poorest, the opportun-
ity to discharge the duty of pa
triotism and to do it with the
least possible sacrifice. She does
not ask her citizens to give their
money, as she might in the
great crisis of the war, but sim
ply to loan their money and
she pledges herself and her un-
bounded resources to return the
principal and, in addition, to pay
substantial annual profit.
What security for any loan can
equal that of the United States?
Men would rejoice IL every duty
could be discharged with as
little sacrifice as the obligation
resting upon all citizens to sup
port with their financial aid, the
Government in the present
world struggle"
To-day is National Thrift day and
is being generally observed in the
state by a concerted campaign to
increase buying of the War Savings
stamps.

Parents knowledge, Dies

Word has been received here of
the death of Arthur Stoke, 16-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce
Stoke, of Edgemont, while serving IN
the Eighth Cavalry at Preside,
Texas. The cause of the death has
not been learned by the parents as
yet, but friends of the lad who have
heard from him recently declare that
it was probably the result of an ac-
cident, as up until a few days ago
they had not heard of his being ill.
Young Stoke enlisted early last
October at the Harrisburg recruiting
station, at the age of 16 years. AS
his parents were opposed to his join
ing the Army, he enlisted without
their knowledge. officers of the To-
cal recruiting station have not yet
heard of his death, they said this
morning.
The body is on it's way here, and
will be buried from the United
Brethren Church at PenbroolS
Thursday or Friday, the time de-
pending upon its arrival. The Rev.
Mr.. Miller will conduct the serv-
ices. The dead soldier is survived
by his parents, three brothers and
three sisters.

First Drafted Army Will
Be Complete Feb. Is;
to Call Final Quotas

Washington, Feb. 4.-The first
draft Army will be completed on
February 10. The final quotas from
those states which have not furnish
ell their full strength will be sent
to camp on that date. Orders to this
effect have gone out from Washing
ton.
Advance supplies of equipment for
the new contingents are being as
sembled at the camps and canton
ments in various sections of the
country. Secretary of War Baker
has insisted on the accumulation of
ample stocks of clothing and other
necessary supplies before the addi-
tional men reach camp.
The work is being rushed. Ad-
vices that clothing and supplies will
be ready in time were received be-
fore the provost marshal-general
decided on the order requiring the
induction of the final quotas into
military service.
About $4,000 men will lie sent to
camp under the new orders.
The date of the second draft call
is dependent upon the removal of
troops now in training, It was learn
ed last night. There is no plan
under consideration which calls for
the construction of new cantonments
or extensive enlargements of the ex-
listing camps.
The second draft apparently will
not apply to all states Simultaneous
ly, Transfer of the men of the first
National Army Is regulated by the
availability of ships. AS transports
become available, contingenta which
have completed their home training
will be sent abroad, Registrants to
be called under the second draft will
1e ordered into military service as
camp space becomes available.

was met Immediately by the Ameri-

on the original sector, but quickly
extended their activity to a wide

Within twenty minutes the 75s and
larger pieces were booming all along

spreading to a town in which regi-
mental headquarters was located. AS
darkness settled down the guns grew
quiet.
Heavy mists again overhung the
American sector to-day. Consequent
