BRITISH TO Be Thanked
FOR PROTECTION OF PORTS
Lieutenant MiISOn Describes
Early Assaults Against the
English and Canadians

Describing in the most graphic Ian
guage the terrific struggles on the
western battle lines in France of the
British and Canadian troops who held
the allied line against the assaults of
the Hun early in the war. Lieutenant
Harry G. Nilsson, special representative
of the United States shipping board
addressed the members OF the general
assembly Wednesday noon in the house
of representatives.
The senate and house convened in
Joint session at II o'clock suspending
the consideration of all legislation, to
receive the message brought by Lieu
tenant Nilsson, who has only recently
recovered from wounds received in
France and who has served 81 months
on the western front.
The young officer who was one OF
6S men left out of a Canadian regiment
of 1882 that entered the second battle
of Ypres, held his auditors spellbound
by the magic of his eloQuence as he told
of the horrors that piled thick upon the
Canadian contingent sent to the aid or
the hard-pressed British and French at
the outbreak of the war. In simple but
thrilling sentences he detailed the bloody
work that followed the assaults OF the
Hun divisions against the scanty FORCES
Of the allies barring the awy to the
carnage that resulted from the first
use of gas by the Germans in that bat
tie and pictured the horrible sufferings
of the men who died in agony as the
gas cloud rolled over the Canadian
trenches
"But our orders were to stick it, and
thank God we did stick it, said Lieu
tenant Nilsson.
"And the world can thank the British

"And that's the message / am bring
ing from the United States shipping
board and all the industrial organlza-
tions that are endeavoring to give the
highest efficiency in winning the war,
he continued.
you must stick it over here to the
last man and the last dollar, just as
they are sticking it. over. there. The
industrial workers must stand side by
side with the men in the trenches II
we are to bring victory to democracy's
banner"
Lieutenant Nilsson characterized as
base calumny the propaganda started by
the Germans in this country to the CT
feet that the British troops had not
done their share in the fighting

would say that it was a damned lie

Joined in the applause that rolled out
as the speaker uttered these words.
"They are all standing side by side
in life and in death over there and with
your unreserved support we will win
such a victory that autocracy will never
again be able to look democracy in the
face"
President Samuel L. olive of the sen
ate who presided over the joint SEES
sion, introducing the speaker and follow
ing his address with a few brief re-
marks declared that since he had been
in the general assembly he had never
heard a speech that surpassed the one

Senator Sproul is a native Pennsyl-

for twelve years, so that he has the
presentige of stalwart Republican an
cestry. He was born at Andrews
Bridge, Colerain township, Lancaster
county, on September 10, 1870, the
son of William Hall and Deborah
(Slokom) SDroul.
His middle name was given him in
honor of General Simon Cameron for
years the potential leader of the Repub-
lican organization and an important fig
ure in national politics of Pennsylvania.
He married when he was twenty-o n
years old, wedding Miss Elenoa Wallace

soon, however, BrintOn left college and
two outstanding figures in Pennsylvania
politics of today found themselves shar-
ing the same rOom-William Cameron
SprOul and Alexander Mitchell Palmer.
Palmer, who is Democratic National
Committeeman and Alien Property
Custodian under the Wilson administra-
ton, has repudiated the Democratic
nominee for Governor and it is believed
that many of his supporters throughout
the State will vote for Senator Sproul.
The Sprouts have two children. John
Roach Sproul was born January
so, 1895. He followed his father to
Chester High School, finished his prep
aration at Mercersburg and then enter
ed Swarthmore College, where he was
not only a good student but came to the
front in all college activities. He was
a star in baseball and in basketball and
was about to start upon his business
career when the cal of his country took
him to the first Fort Niagara Camp,
where he won a commission as second
lieutenant and was chosen for the Reg
ular Army. He was promoted to q first
~Geutenancy in October, 1917, and went
to France that winter. There he was
very active in the early fighting done by
American forces, taking part in the sec
ond battle of the Marine, where he was
signal officer. He was gassed last
July and it must not be overlooked that
he vas cited for bravery. He got back
to the front and to his command as soon
as possible and he has been actively
fighting ever since. He is big, as is his
father. Six feet three inches is his
height and he weighs over two hundred
pounds.
The daughter, Dorothy, who borrows
animation from her mother, now sad
dened by her sudden widowhood was
married to Henry j. Klaer on October z,
1914. Klaer, tall, straight as a strip
ling, active in athletics, was a son of
county, where his family is prominent.
He prepared at Blairstown Academy
and was graduated from the University
of Pennsylvania. quickly winning dis
tinctiOn as a chemical engineer. Filling
positions of a responsible kind in the
steel industry he came to the front rap
idly and at the time of his death, early
in this month, was vice president of the
Penn Seaboard Steel Corporation, with
was captain of Company z, First Regi-
ment Pennsylvania Reserve Militia,
which paid him final honors in firing a
salute over his grave. He took an ae-
tive part in all public movements in Del

"a man of action and of achievement;
the man of the hour in the civic life of
Pennsylvania" as State Senator Will
liam Cameron Sproul has been aptly
described, will be chosen Governor of
Pennsylvania at the election On Tuesday
next.
He is not only the nominee of the
Republican Party, named in a popular
vote at the uniform primaries and re-
ceiving a total of 353, 900 ballots to 49,
900 for his nearest rival, but his can
didacy is receiving the support of many
thousands of Democrats who are not in
sympathy with the views Of the nomi-
nee of their party and who believe that
Senator Sproul is the logical man to fill
the role of chief executive of this Com
monwealth and to meet the many inn
portant and unusual problems with
which the administration will be con
fronted following the termination of the
war.
In Senator Sproul is found a man of
affairs, an experienced newspaper editor
and publisher, q foundryman and build
o. Of ships, a financier, a lawmaker. a
farmer, not a faddist, but a farmer who
makes his farm pay, an owner and pro-
nlOter of three large and prosperous

officers in the service of Uncle Sam
as the father" of the United States
Navy.
For four generations the Spuouls
have been iron masters and it logically
followed that the present candidate for
the Go%vernorship of Pennsylvania would
be identified with these and kindred
interests.
The Senator's father was an officer
of the Iron Cliffs Company and eight
years of the future Governors early
boyhood were spent in the busy little
city of Negaunee, where the furnaces
and the general Offices of the
ton were located. An uncle by mar
rlage, Thomas j. Houston, also lived
there and was a commanding figure in
the community. His energy and ability
set a fine example for the lad, and Sen
ator Sproul has often said that the pa
thence of his father, Of his grandfather
and his Uncle Thomas in aswering ques
tons was beyond belief.
Mrs. Sprouts lineage, as is the case
with the Senator, is distinguished. Her
reat-great-great-grandfather was John
Paulding, who was one of the captors
of the unfortunate Major Andre, of the
English Army, in the Revolutionary
War. On her mothers side she is
descended from a prominent Colonial
family from Duchess county. New
York. She is a member of the Co
lonial Danes, the Daughters of the
Revolution and other such ~organiza-
tons. but sets more store by what she.
