AT the Christmas limo We shall ask
fine Whole American people to answer

the War Council OF the lied Cross.
ut win constitute unique appeal
to every man, woman and child in
this great land of ours to become en-
rolled In our army of mercy
To guide the ''wall,ng wounded"
back from the front to. the nearest
available aid sections the Red Cross
is furnishing the army with thousands

An Italian "doughboy" walked into
an American Red Cross headquarters
at Anacona, Italy, and paid the follow \
ing tribute TO the great organization:
'I am only private soldier hllt

generosity to us. / have sister who

The American Red Cross has becosae
not so much an organization as G.

organized form the spirit of service,
the spirit of sacrlfice-in short, all
that is best and highest in the ideals |
and aspirations of our country.

Plan Free Organ Recitals
at Noon in Y.M.C.A., ), After
Prof. Decevee's Suggestion

Shortly before his death the late
Professor E. j. Decevee suggested
free organ recitals at Fahnestock
Hall in the y. NJ. c. A. building, at
Second and Locust streets. 1t was
the thought of this lamented leader
in the music circles of the city that
hundreds of men, women and chill
dren would be glad to drop into Fab
nestock Hall at the noon hour to
listen to an organ recital by one
CT the talented organists of Harris
burg and elsewhere.
His suggestion was to invite all of
the crganists of Harrisburg to CO.
operate with the Y. NJ. c. A. in the
proposed noon recitals which should
be free to the people. Many men
ard women would probably be de-
lighted to have an opportunity to
hear good music in a comfortable
place during the noon hour and it is
believed the organiSts of Harris
burg will be glad to organize an as
sociation for these recitals.
Whether they should be given
more than once a week would depend
upon their appreciation by the pub
lie. but it is the opinion of those
who are familiar with organ recitals
in other cities that the plan might
be worked out with the general ap-
probation of the community.

Capital and Verbeke streets, with
w. C. SINNERS. to take street car
for his home.
At the hearing this morning Kyler
said nothing. His only word in the
small courtroom was a friendly ac-
quiescence when the alderman in
formed him that he would be held
without bail. J. Robin Bennett is
conducting the negro's case and Of

The hearing was quickly disposed

before, and the negro did not give
his side as he did the morning after
the murder
Kyler is a rather stout southern
negro, aged "a, of medium height
and medium dark complexion. He
has a placid face and a rather pleas
ing voice. The manacled negro went
to and from the trial in his shirt
sleeves, and in the trip back to the
Jail told the officers a story of hav-
ing given his sweater and coat to
a Jail acquaintance who was without
q coat.

Roofs Ruined by Snow
and Ice Are Cause of
Much Property Damage

Thousands of dollars have been
lost in the amount of property dam
aged within the last few days be-
cause of the melting snow seeping
through roofs, tinsmiths and roof
builders estimated to-day.
So many calls for immediate help
have come from householders whose
ceilings are falling because of the
leaking water that the timers have
been swamped. One dealer in roofing
to-day declared that unless there is
n sudden thaw sufficient to carry
away the great accumulation of ice
and snow, fully so per cent. of the
homes in the city will be damaged
before spring.
Icicles hanging from copings and
spoutings have helped open places
for the entry of the water, it is said.
Then. too. virtually all tin roofs have
been greatly weakened by the weight
of the snow and ice on them for
many weeks. The Ice also prevents
the water from running off freely.

Fuel Famine in Prospect
Unless Railroads Speed
Up Anthracite Shipments

Washington, Jan. 31.-A fuel
famine in large sections of the East
was imminent to-day unless the rail-
road administration found a way to
speed up coal movements despite
snow and ice storms which continue
to hamper traffic.
Forecasts give little basis for hope
as snow is promised in most sections
east of the Mississippi and there are
indications that many industrial
plants in New England, parts of
Pennsylvania and the Atlantic sea-
board districts may be forced to
close for lack of fuel.
In response to an urgent appeal
from ]. ]. Storrow, New England
Fuel administrators, the shipping
board promised some relief for that
section by directing coal piers at
Hampton Roads to give right of way
to the loading of fifty ships waiting
there to take coal to Boston. The
priority given in New England ship
ments is for a seventy per-
iod beginning this morning.
