What 1t Means
BY the Rt. Rev. Philip r.
McDevitt, Bishop of the
Diocese of Harrisburg.

Thousands of young men are
already in the Army. Other
thousands are daily leaving their
homes for the military camps.
More will follow in the imme-
date future. All will be COM
PEELED to live for a long while
in entirely new and unusual sur
roundings. They will be cut off
from many of those influences
religious, moral, intellectual
and social, which in the home
environment make for right liv-
ing. Deprived of the wholesome
safeguards which the times of
peace provide, these young
heroes will be brought face to
face with a host of new tempta-
tionS and countless moral dan
gers. If at their impressionable
age they are to come forth un-
harmed, it is imperative that
every effort should be made to
strengthen and support them in
the times of trial and tempta-
tion. Should they succumb to
the danger that surrounds them
and thereby lower their stand
ard of morality, largely because
of the absence of those aids and
helps that could have been pro-
vided them, those who remained
at home safe from all moral and
physical harm shall be charged
justly with deep ingratitude.
Therefore justice, patriotism,
above all, gratitude and love for
the young men now in training
camps or in the trenches of
France and Flanders, cry out
that the civilians of America
whose cause the Army and Navy
are upholding should give freely
and generously to every move
ment that looks to the welfare
of that mighty host of stalwart
defenders of the Republic-the
very flower of American man
hood, and the hope of the days
to come.

Coal Dealer Sacrifices
Samples to Keep Warm

Detweiler Brothers in Steelton are
using the coal from their display
window to burn in the stove to keep
their office in Front street warm.
The fuel shortage has hit Steelton
hard and this concern, one of the
largest in the borough, has been un-
able to get coal for almost two
weeks. The various kinds of coal
and wood have been displayed by
the firm in window in the coal
office.
When shipments of coal arrived
members of the firm were so busy
rushing the fuel to residents that
their own supply was exhausted be-
fore the fact was noticed. The wood
has been taken out of the window
and used and now the samples of
coal will be burned.

DISEASE REPORT
SHOWS DECREASE
Only 1921 Cases Last Year;
No Serious Epidemics
Reduce Total

A big decrease in the total num-
Der of contagious diseases reported
during 1917 is shown in the compil-
ing of the monthly reports on file at
the city health bureau. The de-
crease is due to the fact that there
were no serious epidemics last year
while in 1916 there were epidemics
of measles and typhoid fever.
The total number of cases record
ed in 1917 were 1924 as compared
with 1929 for 1916. These included
nonresident cases. The high total
for 1916 was caused by more than
1000 cases of measles and several
hundreds of typhoid fever. Totals by
months for the two years follow:

tions, foodstuffs and fuel. One of the
principal delays in the movement of
traffic is the unloading at the termin-
ais. Another serious handicap is the
illness of hundreds of men employ
ed in the train service.
A large amount of material des-
tined for the United States at Hog
Island, is sidetracked down the
valley and cannot be taken in be-
cause of lack of room. 1t is said
about 1000 cars are thus tied up.
Yesterday the Reading Coal and
Iron Company shipped but SS1 cars
or coal, which is about half the nor
NAL output. 1t is said that the break

simply impossible to handle it, due

The product of the mines of yes

There will be shortage of shipments
until warmer weather.
The coal situation has reached an
acute stage here and unless there
is an improvement there may be
forced suspensions of industrial
plants during the entire winter.
The local steam heating company
has only few days supply on hand
and in case fuel is not received, a
large portion of the business section
would be without heat. The scarcity
of soft coal will keep a number of
the city's industries idle until next
Monday and possibly longer. They
had intended resuming directly after
the holidays.
Philadelphia, Jan. 3.-With zero
weather still prevailing, officials of
the Pennsylvania railroad have only
faint hope of terminating the pas

r. 2. GOVERNMENT
 AIDED PRODUCTION

The Unitedt States Government through it's various departments has given substantial evidence cf teep interest in the great Metro screen spectacle Lest We Forget" starring Hauber Theatre on Saturday and Monday.
 Because this stupendous specta- cle shows many incidents which rear directly on the entry of the United States into the world war, cordial cooperation has been extended to the producers by both military and civil departments.
 General Lester, in command Of the National Army Cam pac Yon- kers, New York, furnished detach- ment of three hundred troops for service in constructing the trenches used in the battle scenes. These scenes were staged in and near tine French village built for this picture. These troops working under tfo sup ervision of an American Amy of Nicer, who had become thoroughly familiar with trench construction tn France, built the elaborate trench system employed by the allied fcces in defending this village from the in- vading Germans. So successful was the duplication of the trenches ac- tually used on the French cattle front, that the complete wo'i1 was pronounced perfect when inspected by an officer fthe French Army.
 In battle scenes of vivid realism, these trenches were occupied oy large forces of soldiers and tne fighting was the nearest possible ap- proach to actual warfare on the fields of France After the detailed scenes were staged, the scenes show ing the destruction of the village were enacted with great realism. While German" hoWitzers belched forth, the village was razed to the ground by gunfire, and the smoking ruins brought home an idea of devastation of villages in war strick- en France

who seemed to meet with Bertha's S
favor, more and more as time ad-
vanced. This was not relished by
DR.. Jones and he commenced proceed
ings for alleged embezzlement Of
$780, DR.. Jones is a south side Mil
