Red Cross Urges Nurses
to Enroll With Chapter

A statement urging nurses to reg
lister for, Red Cross work with the
local chapter, was issued by the pub
licity committee this morning. The
statement follows:
There exists a compelling demand
for registered nurses and those not
registered to enroll for Red Cross
work. One may enroll though not a
registered nurse providing she is
graduated from a registered training
school.
"A nurse may enroll for service
other than military. The nursing de-
partment of the American Red Cross
maintains an extensive public health
and sanitary service, both in this
country and abroad, also a rural
nursing service known as the town
and country nursing service, Married
nurses are urged to enroll for home
service in these departments.
Young women graduating from
High school or colleges are needed to
enter the training schools so as to fill
the gaps made by the enrolment of
graduate nurses into the military
service"

Bedouins of dignity and swart hides,
cannibalistic bolomen and yelled
beauties of Afric harem-what one
is matter of conjecture. Closely
padlocked cages, all gilt and sturdi-
ness, creaked past, doubtless carry
ing the most ferocious freight. In
fact, little Johnnie confided to ma
that he heard teeth gnashing and
flesh tearing from several of the
most weirdly decorated wagons.
Open Animal Cages
Then there were open animal
cages. In these could be seen named
lions, who spoke gutterally; and
often, still more creepy tigers, torpid
reptiles, and other beasts whose
names, if half as terrible as their
appearance, would be fatal to utter.
Hey, Jimmie! Look at de tag
urs!" Sure enough there were four
tigers in one cage, pacing restlessly
to and fro and licking their chops at
sight of so many healthy boys out
side their barred home. Two
gaunt lions-each a lean and hungry

Immediately following-were occu-
pied during the entire parade in TAX
ing a sort of mental census of the
red-cheeked babies lining the route.
Only the camels paid attention to
their own business with a sort of
aristocratic hauteur, which was COM
ical to see. Part of them were hitch
ed to an air calliope. That made
some folks think the parade had
been cut down. But that was lust
the Ringing Brothers way of hav-
ing a little joke on the public. For
there was much to follow.
There was t'the blood-sweating
Behemoth of Holy Writ" which no
doubt perspired more freely than he
ever did before. because his cage was
closed and locked. The small boys
spelled out the words with awe and
then conjured up picture of most
fearsome beast, with horns and a
spiked tail, which breathed fire
through the cracks of the painted
to be appeased with anything less
than a live calf for breakfast each
morning.
Funny Side of Procession
More bands, one of them mounted
on handsome gray horses, and a regi-
ment of clowns that go to make up
the funny side of the circus, came
in turn. And, finally, of all things
to be desired by the juvenile element,
clumsy and arid hillock began to
bob up and down in the distance.
Others appeared behind and beside
It. Then, guided by white helmet
ed keepers with very emphatic goads,
the whole colony of elephants sway

custom adopted when the first circus
parade was staged each animal
clasped firmly and affectionately the

FRANCE NUMBER
OVER 100000
Secretary Baker Tells "Blue
Devils" of Great Increase
Within Few Weeks

Washington, June 11.-More than
100000 American soldiers have been
sent to France, Secretary Baker said
yesterday in a speech to French
Blue Devils" who came to the Unit
ed States to aid in the Third Liberty
Loan campaign. Mr.. Bakers last Of
fetal announcement some weeks
ago was that more than half a mill
lion had gone over.
Secretary Baker, appearing before
the Senate Military Committee at
the start of hearings on the Army
appropriation bill, said the orders
holding Major General Wood in this
country were regarded for the good
of the service" and presented a plan
for appointing successors to Major
Generals Crozier and Sharpe, who
have been relieved respectively from
their active jurisdiction over the ord
nance and quartermaSter'S bureaus.
Some Senators urged that General
Wood be sent across.
Secretary Baker proposed that an
amendment be added to the bill au-
thorizing the President to appoint
two major generals ''at large" to
provide that rank for Generals Gro
zier and Sharpe and to clear up the
present situation by which General
CrOZler retains the title ana rank as
head of the Ordnance Bureau, al
though serving on the War Council
with a subordinate as acting chief
of ordnance and by which Quarter
master General Sharpe has been sent
to southern post as an "acting"
quartermaster handling the bureau.
The committee, it was said, was fa.-
vorably disposed to the plan pre-
sented.
The bills provision giving the
President unlimited authority to in
crease the Army was not discussed.
A deficiency estimate of $1,293,-
556,209 for the Army Quartermas-
ter's Department for the present
fiscal year in addition to appropria-
tions already made. was submitted
to the House yesterday by Secretary
Baker. The largest item is $1,031,-
Col 1885 for clothing and camp and
garrison equippage.
This exceeds the annual peace time
expenditure of the entire govern
ment.
The President would be empow-
cred to take possession of all cable,
telephone and telegraph lines under
an amendment to the $12, 900, ,000,-
600 Army appropriation bill intro
duced yesterday by Senator Shep-
pard, of Texas. The purpose would
be to assure secrecy of military in
formation and to prevent communi-
cation among spies.

LIBRARY WORK
TAKES Big JUMP
Reports Made to Trustees
Show Extent of Demands
in Harrisburg Now

Trustees of the Harrisburg Public
Library at their meeting last night
received reports indicating the rapid
growth of library work in the State
Capital district and that to meet the
demands of the summer and fall
there will be a serious drain upon the
resources of the institution. During
May, which is ordinarily a dull
month, the circulation of the library
was $3.50 books, while the registra.
ton climbed to 1853 or one-fourth
of the population of Harrisburg.
OF this circulation 26 per cent
was among school children and II
was reported that requests had been
made for establishment OF six addi-
| tional school libraries this spring
The library now has seven libraries
in schools about the city and owing
to lack of funds will be unable t.
place the additional libraries when
the schools reopen. 1t may be even
forced to curtail the work it is
doing in this direction.
During May there were 2,715
readers at the library and ia ref
erence questions were answered.
Miss Alice r. Eaton, the librarian
who had visited the camp libraries
at a number of the camps and at
League Island, gave a statement re-
garding the work of it's organization
| and made the gratifying statement
that Harrisburg had sent $4,000
books to the soldiers. These books
were all collected and handled
through the library, which met the
cost of hauling from the deposit
| places and attended to the sort
| ing and handling.
Professor H. G. Dibble, principal
of the Central High school, who re-
signed to go to Gloversville, N. Y,
resigned as a trustee and a suitable
minute appreciating his services as a
trustee and as member of the IL
brary committee of the board was
| adopted.
Formal action thanking the family
| of the late ]. Augustus Beck for
