Harrisburg Captain
of Torpedoed Liner
Praised For Bravery

Captain Douglass E. Dismukes,
whose home is at 1015 North Front
street, has been praised further for
the magnificent record made by
himself, crew and passengers, most
ly wounded soldiers, for their con-
duct and discipline while getting the
big army transport, Mount Vernon,
back to a French port after it was
torpedoed by a German submarine
about 200 miles off shore, Septenl-
ber s.
DIR. Carl Holiday. dean of the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences in Toledo
University, who was returning from
France on the ship, said that the
praise given Captain Dismukes by
Secretary of War Baker was not full
enough.
mo praise can be extravagant for
the men who took that ship back to
port" said Dr. Holiday. The tor
pedo struck while we were all at
breakfast, but there was no panic
whatever. Everybody knew instantly
that the ship had been struck. but
those men marched out in files, sing
ing marching songs they had learned
at the front.
when we reached our boat sta
tions we saw the sailors coming up.
SOME Ildu DeGl ny lllC CApio-
sion, which was so violent that it
broke glasses on the table in the din
ing saloon. But when those sailors
were told by their officers that there
were a chance to save the ship every
man, even the injured, went back
below to work. The engines did not
stop and the men did not leave their
posts until the ship was safe in port.
Bucket brigades were organized
to bail out the water as it poured in
at the hole made by the torpedo, adm
as the men worked they sang to the
accompaniment of a piano, played
by negro, who kept the music go
ing hour after hour. Injured men
insisted upon doing their part, and
wounded soldiers who were coming
back maintained that their wounds
were not serious enough to prevent
them from giving the sailors hand.
1t was a magnificent exhibition of
American discipline and valor."

MINISTER POOLE
NOT ARRESTED BY
THE BOLSHEVIKS
Norwegian Foreign Office
Gives State Department
Word of Consul

Washington, Sept. 21.-The Nor
wegian Foreign Office advised the
State Department to-day that Amer
lean Consul General Poole. at Mos
COW, had not been arrested by the
Bolsheviki, as recently reported, and
that direct communication had been
held with Moscow as late as Septem-
ber 1S.
Norway and Sweden were asked
two weeks ago to ascertain the sit
uation of the consul general. Officials
were much exercised over the report
that Mr.. Poole had been imprisoned
by the Bolsheviki after the other
Americans had left Moscow for
Sweden.
Mr.. Poole elected to remain in
Moscow despite personal danger in
order to be of assistance to his Brit
ish and French colleagues, detained
and menaced by the Bolsheviki. No
direct word has come from him for
several weeks.

RED CROSS CALLS
FOR BELGIAN AID
With Winter Coming on, the
Little Country's Danger
Is Greater Than Ever

Noting the intense need for Bel
gian relief, the Steelton chapter of
the Red Cross, issued n statement last
evening, asking for three tons of
clothing. as the borough's allotment.
The campaign will be conducted
next week. September % to 80, when
Steelton residents are asked to take
their old clothes to the Red Cross
rooms, in Harrisburg street.
All kinds of. garments are needed.
There is no limitation as to size or
sex. the only requirement being that
the articles submitted, be durable.
No flimsy materials, such as ball
dresses or gowns, stiff hats, or high
heeled slippers. Neither should any
articles containing rubber, be sent,
Rubber heels on shoes may be re-
moved.
The statement recalls the fact that
the winter coming, will undoubtedly
be the hardest for the Belgian people,
since the Germans who now rule the
country, are smarting under num-
Der of defeats, which undoubtedly
will not make the lot of the Belgians
easier.
The statement concludes with a de-
scription of the clothes desired,
which includes practically all kinds
of apparel

New Troops Placed
Against Americans

With the American Army in AL
SAGE, Sept. 21.-There are indications
that the enemy has placed new
troops in the line in Alsace opposite
the Americans. Some portions of the
front, however, apparently are not
held by these new men.
An American patrol penetrated the
enemy wire Thursday and walked
through the town of AmmerZweiler,
which was found to be deserted.
Several prisoners from the S7th
German division were captured last
night by an American patrol west
of Wanderers. This division had been
in the line in this sector only a few
days. 1t is one of the German crack
: divisions, and it was marched into
. this area from the quiet sector west
of Rheims where it had been rest
ing.
Plant Guns in Cemetery
In a cemetery near Limey, just
within the German lines previous
to the attack of September IL, Amer
lean troops have discovered German
machine gun nests beneath the con-
crete pedestal of a large cross. The
Germans had dug in along the CEN
er of the foundation and constructed d
machine gun positions at three places
facing toward the French lines. The
cemetery is on a hill commanding a
view of the country of the south,
and the Germans assumed that II
an attack were made the cemetery
would not be subjected to artillery
fire.
When the Franco-American Of
fensive started the Germans held
the machine gun nests in the ceme-
terry as long as possible, but were
compelled to retreat in haste before
they could use the guns. So hur-
ried was the enemy retirement that
several machine guns were found In
the cemetery by the Americans. The
cemetery was not hit by shells and
ehe cross still stands.

WAR PLANTS TO
BE COMBED FOR
ARMY SLACKERS
Shipyards Probe Leads to
Sweeping Rule; All Civil
ian Employees Included

Washington, Sept. 21.-The war
combed for slackers. Charles Piez,
vice-president and general manager
of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton, told the Senate Commerce Com
mittee yesterday.
Mr.. Piez blamed the officials at
Hog Island as much as the workmen
for. making the shipyard a "slackers'
haven" and intimated that there
may be a reorganization there soon.
He did not go into any details.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
is promulgating new regulations, Mr..
Piez said, that will call for a thor
ough combing of war industries for
slackers, and those who have OBJ
tanned employment at Hog Island
and other munition plants in order
to escape the draft and those who,
having obtained employment there.
do not accomplish full days work,
will be weeded out.
The military slackers will be
reached by an examination of their
claims to exemption or deferred
classification other than their en-
ployment in essential work.
The industrial slackers will be
reached by a regulation providing
that any man employed in war work
and having obtained deferred classi-
fication on that ground. shall lose his
exemption if he absents himself
from his work more than three days
a month without a sufficient rea-
son.
Mr.. Piez disclosed the fact that
this regulation has been prepared in
discussing reported slackerism at
Hog Island. Reports had come to
committee members that of the Co.
600 exempted workmen there thou
sands had sought refuge in the ship
yard from the selective draft.
1t was disclosed at the hearing
that pugilists, BARRIERS, actors. ball
players and others engaged in nom
essential tasks have focked to the
Hog Island yard and obtained such
employment as their entire lack of
knowledge of shipbuilding would
permit them to perform. But some
of them, the committee was told,
did not labor honestly at the tasks
assigned to them, but devoted most
of their time to obtaining soft
Jobs" for their friends and asso-
ciates. 1t is to these that the new
Crowder order regarding absences
from work will apply particularly.
Philadelphia, Sept. 21.-Protests
against the employment of ballplay-
ers, pugilists and actors in easy
Jobs" as alleged by the skilled me-
chanics, took definite form yester-
day when 1000 men walked out at
Cramps shipyard. These mechanics
were largely boilermakers, riveters,
reamers and allied artisans. The
strikers said they had taken this
means to accept Rear Admiral
Bowles' plan of having the patriotic
workers drive out the slackers" and
that there was no other grievance
existing.
officials at Cramps said they eX-
pected to have the trouble adjusted
and that the whole affair savored of
"a rainy dya strike"
