The German soldier is a treacher-

ing enough TO surrender when caught
but ever ready to kill his captor if
the chance occurs. The Saxon, he
said, differs from the Prussian in
this, being a somewhat unoffensive
creature who has been dragged into
the war by the Prussian. AS illus
trating the point, he said when the
British troops were opposite SaXons
the lines were quiet and there was
little fighting and when the SaXons
were to be relieved by the Prussians
the Saxons would send over a mes
sage reading something like this:
Dear British-The Prussians are
going to take over our trenches to-
night. Give them hell"
Coolies and rats, said Captain Har-
ris, are the great enemies of the men
in the trenches.

Captain Harris, telling of his own
experiences" the first thing he thinks
of is his mother. Before he goes over
the top he thinks of his mother, and
his sister and perhaps of some other
fellows sister. Then he thinks of
all the little things he did in his
early days which he should not have
done. And he is sorry for the fell
lows who will fall in the fight, but
always he is perfectly certain in his
own mind that he will come through
all right, and he is the most sur
prised person in the world when he
is hit"

MIR. Jennings Cheered

President Andrew 5. Patterson
called upon William Jennings, the
head of the local committees on Pub
lie Safety and Defense. Liberty Loans,
Red Cross and War Stamp activities,
who has three sons in the army, to
introduce Captain Harris and the
audience was so enthusiastic in its
approvah that Mr.. Jennings felt call
ed upon to thank his friends and
neighbors for their cordial reception.
So great was the applause he was un-
able to make himself heard for sew
eral minutes. 1t has been long since
a presiding officer at a Chamber of
Commerce gathering got such an
ovation.
Captain Harris passed through Har-
risburg on his way from Australia to
France in 1914 and said he was happy
to be back as he was in too great
hurry at that time to pay much at
tention to local surroundings. Most
of his talk was devoted TO personal
experiences in France, Belgium and
the eastern theaters of war, during
which he went over the top six times
in big operations, acted as chief of
scouts where the lines were only
thirty-five to one hundred yards
apart in France, was gassed once and
wounded four times.

But Ruth has a fault. one common

In sliding into a base, as his body IL
about to hit the ground, Ruth puts
his hand under him to break the
force of the blow. throwing all his

Babe Ruth unquestionably is one Of
the most remarkable ball players the
game ever produced. It has been said
of any number Of pitchers who have
shown ability as hitters that they need
not seek a meal ticket after their
mound days are ended; that they could
drop into an outfeld berth and earn
their salt by means Of their sticking
prowess. but this never has been true
in such a great measure as with
George Ruth, esq.,. now one Of the
best lefthanded pitchers in the game.
a fly chaser Of ability and a long dis
tance slugger Of the very first rank.
In the current series between the
Red Sox and Nationals Ruth has made
only two hits, but both have been
clouts for the circuit. His first, last
Friday, was the only hit and produced
the only run of Harry Harper. The
second, yesterday. was an even Nigh
tier wallop as instead Of merely go
