SHALL WE SEE 1T
THROUGH OR QUIT?

The Government is finding 1t nee.
essary to call upon US three times
within year to provide by subscrip.
tions to Liberty Loans, sums of money
hitherto considered of fabulous pro-
portions. These facts should i'm.
press upon us as no mere words
could do, the intense seriousness, the
stern necessities, of the situation.
Continued acquaintance with the
more serious aspects of life is apt to
breed indifference, and to dfstort our,
mental vision. AS the soldier shud1
ders with horror at his first sight
of carnage, but later becomes hard
ened, so are we apt to become COM
placent under conditions which call
actually for increasingly strenuous
effort
The Liberty Loan with its original
accompaniments Of novelty and noise
appealed to our national love of al
new sensation. In the Third Cam
paign much of the novelty will be-
lacking, but the serious purpose be-
hind the campaign will have grown.
Our money was needed when both
the First and Second Liberty Loans
were fioated, but it will be more than
ever needed when the Third Loan
is called for. Our army has grown.|
our national payroll has grown, the
needs of our allies have grown, the
necessity of forever banishing the uni
speakable menace of Prussianisn has
grown. No longer can we hope that
the entrance of this country into the
struggle will induce an early peace.
More arrogant, moro desperate than
even the German Government puts
forward its impossible claims upon the|
rights and life of humanity.
Our Government In It's growing need
is calling upon US to give up our|
luxuries, is conscripting the lives of
our sons, Is controlling trade, labor
and prices, with an ever increasingl
earnestness and firmness Of purI
pose. afiS
The test Of our personal strength
of character and determination. Is at
hand. Your Government pleads with
you very earnestly to preach and
practice both before and during the
next Liberty Loan Campaign stead.
fastness of purpose, an unselfish pa
triotism, which shall reflect the spirit
of a man who having set his hand
to the execution of a necessary task
would rather lose. that hand than

Mr.. Hofmeister's remarks
were particularly opposite and
fervent. A native of Germany,
he had come to the United
States when a boy to complete
his education. So taken with:
the country, it's people and it's
institutions was he that he made
arrangements to return and re-
main permanently as quickly as
re could after returning to Ger
many. In due time he had be-
come an American citizen, and
he is proud of his citizenship.
His wife is intensely patriotic,
as also is his daughter, both
being ardent Red Cross workers;
and their only son is i'm the
Aviation Corps, at the front in
France. That allusion was
greeted with a storm of ap-
|plause.
Mr.. Nose Drachman made a
very felicitous speech, that was
fervid in it's clear-cut patriot
ism.
The other speakers were in
fine form and their addresses
were all that the most patriotic

Seek Girl Who Left
Home in Nightgown

Kokomo, Ind A nationwide
search is being made by Sheriff
Brown to locate Cliffie Weisnauer, fif-
teen years old, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Weisnauer, living near
this city. The girl left home ten
days ago in the middle of the night
by sliding down a lightning rod.
Clothed, as far as known. only in a
nightgown and an old pair of shoes,
the girl has disappeared without
leaving a trace.
The girl, except for the neighbor-
hood boys and girls. has few ac-
quaintances. AL these were ques-
toned, but no explanation of her dis
appearance was obtained.
The ponds and creeks in the local
ity have been dragged without sue
cess. Automobile tracks, showing the
machine stopped during the night
near her house, led to the theory
that she received aid and clothing.
Her parents say she had been cor
responding with a school in Chicago
which teaches drawing, and on the
theory that she may have gone there
the sheriff sent the picture and de-
scription of the girl to the Chicago
police. -.. ST..

The Importance of early enlist
ment and the chances the young
man has for advancement and bet
terment by joining the United States
Marine Corps were told to the men
of this city last night by Lieutenant
Samuel Hatcher, in charge of the
recruiting party at 327 Market
street, in addresses in several of the
motion picture theaters. He made
a special plea to the men between
the ages of Is and 81 years to come
to their country's aid.
This is a young mans war" he
said, and the sooner the young man
realizes this and comes to the front,
where his duty lies, the sooner the
struggle abroad will be ended. Men
are needed badly and they are need
ed now. The Hun must be crushed
across the sea, and if he is not the
final battle may yet be fought upon
American soil.
The young man doesn't seem to
understand what his enlistment
means to the world at this time.
Decisive battles are being fought
every day. Men are being killed.
Others must take their places to
carry on the work they began. If
the Teuton hordes are not stopped
in Europe they will invade these
shores and the first to be placed in
jeopardy will be the mothers, sisters

Capacity Houses Greet
Sergeant Arthur Empey

Capacity houses featured the open

Manager James George, of the
Victoria, has been congratulated on
all sides for his foresight in bring
ing this stupendous spectacle to this
city for the edification of the thou
sands of Harrisburgers who have
read Empeys famous book and the
thousands more who also want to
see the well-known American SOL
dier in the screen version of his
book.
This inspiring film shows as EN-
pey himself says, "just what we are
up against" and every man, wom-
an and child in Harrisburg and the
surrounding towns should see this
film If it is at all possible. 1t is a
marvellous INSTALLATION of the ac-
tual methods of fighting as used on
the western front, but still it is de-
void of the horrors which have
slckened the hearts of all civilized
beings who have read or heard of the
barbarities of the Huns, the "kul-
tured" beast of Berlin.
supporting Empey in cover the
Top are two Yell-known favorites
of stage screen, Lois Meredith and
James Morrison. Miss Meredith will
be remembered for her work in the
title role of Peg o. My Heart" fol-
lowing Laurette Taylor, at the Ly-
ric theater. She also starred in
Help Wanted" and in numerous
screen plays. James Morrison was
one of the first players to be fea-
tured by Vitagraph some six years
ago. He appeared in the first three
reeler made in America, "a Tale of
Two Cities" which was considered
a daring innovation at the time it
was produced by Albert E.. Smith.
Recently, Morrison has been feat
ured in "Womanhood, the Glory of
the Nation" The Down of Free
DOM" THE Wheels of Justice" and
numerous states rights productions.
He was selected for the coward role
after Director Wilfrid North and
Sergeant Empey, together, had tried
out twenty EIGHT players for the
role.
In addition to these stars the COM
pany includes such Vitagraph favor
ties as Mother" Mary Maurice,
Julia Swayne Gordon, Arthur. Dom

ALIEN PROPERTY
CUSTODIAN TAKES
OVER BREWERIES
Palmer Arranging to Sell Mil
lions of Dollars Worth
of Busch Realty

washington, D. c., June 18.-The
entire estate in this country of Mrs
Lily Busch, widow of Adolphus
Busch. late millionaire brewer of St
Louis, has been taken over by the
government under the alien property
law. and Allen Property Custodian
Palmer is planning to offer 1t for
sale.
These facts became known yester-
DAY In connection with the return to
America of Mrs. Busch. who has
been living in Germany for several
years, or practically since the death
of her husband. The government has
not yet appraised the property, which
consists largely of breweries in St
Louis and other cities, stocks and
bonds, and real estate in New York
but 1T is generally believed to be
worth many millions of dollars.
Mrs. Busch, who is "A years old
was in Havana over Sunday on her
way to the United States from Ger.
many through Switzerland and
Spain. She is accompanied by her
attorney, Harry d. Hawes, who went
to switzerland to confer with hei
several months ago. 1t is understood
that Mrs. Busch plans on her arrival
IN this country to call at the State
Department and the Department OF
Justice in an effort to regain GUS
tody of her estate. 1t is understood
she will insist she is loyal citizen
OF the United States, who did not
forfeit citizenship by reason of her
residence in Germany since her hus-
hands daatb

wives and sweethearts of those men
who have met with the great, ad-
venture and those who are now
holding back. No man wants this TO
happen. But it will, unless German
Kultur is abolished. And 1t can
only be abolished IL the young men
of this country respond to the call.
MANY of the men between the
ages of Is and 81 are holding back
because their mothers do not want
them toeenlisti They must remem-
Der that In war times their country
comes first. Some. 1t seems, believe in
the policy of let the other fellow do
It, But sooner or later they Will
realize their mistake. Maybe through
their reticence some of their dear
ones will be made to suffer and
then they will be filled with regrets.
The time to enlist Is now, and pre-
vent all that. The way in which to
avoid the possibility of having the
scenes of Belgium and France in the
early days of the war re-enacted in
this country Is by their Bhouldering
q gun at once.
I'm no branch of the service will
they see more action than. they will
with the Marines. The Devil Dogs
were the first to carry on the battle
and will continue in the fray until
their duty has been accomplished.
1t is an organization of red-blooded
men. real fighters who are uphold
ing the traditions of the corps, es-
tablished in 1775. I hope that the
young men of this city will heed the
warning, will see the handwriting
on the wall, and will go to the
aid of their fellow-countrymen in
France"
Up to this time the Marines have
enlisted four men in this city-three
yesterday and one this morning. The
first man to enlist was John Joseph
Smith, of Steelton, employed at the
Bethlehem Steel Company. Smith
is an ex-Marine. having been hon
orabfy discharged from the service
in July, 1917. He saw service with
the Marines in Vera Cruz, II Ell San
Domingo and Mexico. At the time
he left the Marines he was a cor
poral, had a .good conduct" medal
and was rated as sharpshooter. He
will leave for Paris Island, S. c.,
the Marine training camp, on Satur-
day.
The other men who enlisted are
William L. Hughes, of 1888 Bailey
street; Charles e. Webster, of Camp
Hill, and Joseph B. Weaver, of 1903
Market street. Webster was STU
dent at Lafayette College.

No. 1887 w. Thirty-fifth street, of

up John Stoesel, manager. by the
neck until his tiptoes barely touched

The police declared the act the
most vicious in Chicago's history of
robberies, aside from sheer murder.
A customer found the manager
half an hour later nearly strangled.
He would soon have been dead, ply
sicians said. Stoesel said:
The boy aimed a revolver at me
and ordered me to get a rope. He
bound my hands behind me and
gagged me. Then he made a moose
with a hangman's knot and slipped
t around my neck.
The other end of the rope he
threw over the chandelier and jerked
me upward nearly off the floor, I
had given up all hope of life"
