present conflict.
The City's Best
A large part of Harrisburg's con-
tingent in the division are men,
bers of the 10th and 112th Regi-
ments. Many, too, are in the truck
trains and in the artillery and ma
chine gun units. In the main most
of the infantrymen who enlisted in
the Guard from this city are in the
112th Regiment while majority of
the members of the famous old
Governors Troop are with the ar
tillery.
When the War Department. issued
mobilization orders last summer
Harrisburg mustered in Companies
d and L of the old Eighth Regiment
and the Governors Troop. The in
fantry regiments quickly were re-
cruited to the then full war strength
of $50 men and the cavalry went to
to a hundred men. The city also
furnished large parts of companies
stationed in York and Chambers
burg. Two truck and ammunition
trains were recruited, a headquar-
ters company was formed and a
band recruited. The band later was
taken from the division when the
Eighth Regiment was dismembered
and sent TO Camp Wadsworth, Spar
tanburg, 5. C.

Trained at Home

After several weeks of preliminary
training on the island the regiment
entrained for Camp Hancock. There
the old organization was broken up
to meet the demands of modern war
fare and the division strength raised
to $4,000 men. The regiments, which
before contained between 500 and
1900 men were torn apart and re-
organized into units containing g.
500. The new organization, however.
quickly welded together and rapid
progress was made in training.
Many of the Harrisburg officers
were sent to special schools where
the new methods of waging war
were taught them by the best OF
French and British instructors. 1t
was at one of these schools that
Lieutenant Colonel Frank E. Ziegler
was killed by a fall from his horse.
These officers returned to their lu-
ties and impaired their skill so
quickly 20 the men that the divi-
sion soon attained high praise for
its morale and precision of evolu-
tions. The experience gained on the
Mexican border also served the men
in good stead.
Left Early in Summer
Early in the summer the division
broke camp and moved north. 1t
was stationed for some days near
New York and this gave many of
the officers and men a chance to get
home for final farewells before sail
ing. The great conveys got to Eng
land without losing a man, After a
short stay in England, the regiments
were moved to France where they
were given time to get rid of their
sea legs and put through their final
bits of training.
Movements of the division were
kept guarded by the government as
a military secret. From the tone.
however, of letters home friends and
relatives felt that the division would
not long be kept out of the fray af-
ter they had landed in France.

SAYS SENATOR bORAH

not true, if we have another year like
1917, we will suffer humiliation in an
incomplete and indecisive war. We
ought to throw off our gloom and
realizing our task, give it the. best
there is in us. There is no possible
room for partisan discussion at this
time upon either side. 1t can serve no
good purpose and must inevitably tend
to evil results.
"a great deal of good has already
come from the Investigations and the
only possible object of the investiga-
ton was to get results in the future
and not to furnish subject of discus
sion for past mistakes. AS soon as
defect is remedied, discussion of it
should cease and any mistakes which
have been made should be forgotten as
soon as they are corrected. And to
merely debate our mistakes and not
to seek to remedy them is to trifle
with the vital interests and security
Of the American people"

mistakes have been made and plans
have not worked out as expected, but
thiswas almost inevitable in one sense,
because we were not a warlike people,
and to prepare for war without mis-
takes presupposes warlike people
and the building of war machine

The thing to do is for us to unite with
out faction and party behind us, cOun-

from our past and the experience of

for Every Woman
Wartime Commandments Arranged ~
the Professor Of the Uni*ersity
Of Turin.

New York.-Here Is the new sDeca-
logue Of War;" as announced by DR..
Anna Shaw:
| /. Do not chatter. Keep to yourself
the news you hear, your own impress
sions and your apprehensions.
2. Do not listen to alarmists, to
slackers, or those who would spread
encouragement. Silence them.
8. Be moderate in your spending,
neither lavish in gifts nor sordid in
your economies. Let everything in
your life, even your daily expenses,
take on at this moment its true ma
tional Importance.
4. Encourage national industries,
avoiding imported goods, even though
they may seem better and less costly,
than those made at home.
5. DO not look upon the departure
to the front Of those dear to you as an
abandonment. Be with them constant
ly in Thought, as they are with you,
particularlyNln the hour Of danger.
g.. Do not complain of the difficult
ties, annoyances and privations caused
Dy the war. LINK OF those VINO are
dying for their country, and complaint
will halt upon your lips.
z. Multiply your activities, in your
home as well as outside, thereby rem
dering yourself useful to your coun-
try by the work Of your hands, the
warmth Of your heart and the charity
of your intelligence.
g. Exhibit day by day and hour by
hour the same courage man shows
upon the field Of battle. Instruct the
ignorant uphold the feeble, console
those who are stricken; transmit your
own confidence to others.
9. No matter how long the struggle |
may last, await victory with strength |
and patience.
10. If you are stricken in your dear
est affections, bear your sorrow nobly,
that your tears may be worthy of the
hero whose death you mourn.
These wartime commandments were
arranged by the professors Of the
University Of Turin.

enough money for his mother, since
his fathers death, to buy farm.
At the same time he has been helping
other boys of his neighbOrhOOd to
grow better crops. Maybe there is a
lesson in Willie Johnston's experience
for other boys-whether on the farm
or in town-who would like to enroll
in club work. Ask your county agent,
state agricultural college, or the Uni
ted States department of agriculture
to tell you how you can enlist in such
service and make money.
In the fall of 1915, when his father
died, Willie was left to support his
mother and five younger sisters. The
family was farming rented land and
had no money with which to buy
home. Willie was IA years old. Early
in 1915, w. T. Yoakum, the county
agent, had enrolled him in the corn
club, and that year he won a prize at
the county fair During 1917 Willie
has been member of each of the
following clubs: Corn, cotton, kafir,
peanut and pig. For the last three
years he has won prizes on corn at
the county fair.
While this boy has been taking the
lead in. club work, he has been busy
working for his mother This year he |
farmed 112 acres of rented land, and |
grew 20 bales of cotton on part of it.
Now the family lives in home of
heir own, on 80 acres of land. This
arm is we'll stocked and they have
money in the bank after paying for it.
