man family marched in yesterdays
parade, John K. Bowman heading
the store section, j. William Bow
man being marshal of the division
and James K. Bowman, son of ].
William, lining up with his grand
father and his uncle aHrry Bowman.
Senator E. E. Beidleman, one
of the aids to- the chief marshal,
thought so much of yesterdays cele-
bration that he declined an invita-
ton to speak in Pittsburgh in order
to remain at home and participate
in Harrisburg's Fourth of July cele-
bration, both as marcher and a
speaker.
William H. Bennethum, Jr., who
has been i'll for some time, saw the
parade from his North Second street
residence. He must have been
highly pleased with Dives, Pomeroy
and Stewart delegation, the girls of
whom made a splendid showing with
their Blue Devir' tamoshanters.
The store had one of the largest and
most picturesque representations in
line.
-lHe f1dTTlSDuTS AuLOHlOD1le
Company had in line a tractor pull
ing a haywagon in which rode a
party of youngsters, showing the
close association between the trac-
tor and the farm.
Banners carried in the foreign
born division caused much favorable
comment and at times the thou
sands along the sidewalks applaud
ed. Some of the inscriptions were:
I'VE are Rumanians by birth but
Americans by choice; There are rs
Greeks in Harrisburg. Is in the
Army"
The Liberty Bell carried by four
young girls was another feature of
the foreign n-born division. In addi-
tion to these young girls there were
many other children in line, some
of them only tots.
The Hebrew section in the first
division carried banners declaring
themselves forever willing to fight
for freedom and democracy. APP
plause and cheers greeted them at
many points along the route.
Thousands of persons were IA
vorably impressed with the Coop
Grafton of motorists, who kept their
automobiles off the route of the pa
rade. The Boy Scouts who furnished
drinking cups and water to many of
those in line also attracted atten-
ton and brought praise for them
selves.
The Grand Army veterans in 25
automobiles added much to the i'm
pressiveness of the parade. They
were given ovations everywhere and
certainty showed their appreciation
of the patriotic demonstration.
Veterans of Foreign Wars,
Spanish American War Veterans
and the City Grays contributed much
to the historic features of the pa
rade as illustrations of the record
of the United States in years
gone by.
Flags of practically every allied
nation were right out in front in the
glorious pageant. Round after
round of applause greeted them as
they were carried by Zembo Patrol
of tho Mystic Shrine down the
street with measured tread and beat

Twenty-seven Army trucks, mod
els of efficiency, located at the
Marsh Run Ordnance Depot, were
in early divisions of the. parade.
These high-powered machines with
their great capacities left Harris
burg people with at least an inkling
of understanding as to the efficient
manner with which things are being
done in battlefield and camp by the
Americans.
The Harrisburg freight office
of the Pennsylvania Railroad had a
pleasing float in line in Yesterdays
parade. Their big Liberty boat
drew big applause.

ways makes a good appearance in
line and the big delegation got quite
reception along the line yesterday.

risburg shoe factory, which showed
up remarkably we'll in the parade

George Reinoehl turned out a
f1ne lot of exchange girls and others,
Nobody knows what a fine lot of
girls the Bell has or how many
heads of departments and other Of
ficials make their home here until
they take part in some such affair
as that of yesterday.
There were upward of sixty
bands In yesterdays parade.
The new Reserve Militia
marched like veterans and received
many plaudits along the line, while
the Treat 'em-rough" Tankers from
gettysburg gave the spectators an
IDEA OF the fine outstanding type of
men America is sending across to
beat the Kaiser.
The Blough Manufacturing
Company employees made a gav
showing, dressed as they were in
red, white and blue costumes. and
the building in Reilly street, vine
covered and flag decorated. looked
almost as well.
The Dauphin Electrical Supplies
Company had twenty-five people in
line. Not only that but the family
OF .John ;. Musser, the president

strong, even little frankie manfuIlv

American Troops in Italy
Established in Own Camp

Rome, July 5.-The first contin-
gent of American troops to arrive in
Italy has, within forty-eight hours,
established itself in camp. The men
are sleeping under their own tents
and feeding from their own kitchen,
which was provided by the American
Red Cross before the men started.
The rapidity of the mobilization
to their new quarters has created a
most favorable impression. The
Americans are in fine spirits and ex-
cellent health, but the Red Gross
will within a week establish a COM
plete hospital near the camp.

Godmoiher to Polish Army
Gets American Reception

PARIS, Sept. 8, (By Mail.)-A
woman alighted from the train at
what remains of a little railroad sta
ton very close to the front. Her hair
was a trifie gray, but her cheeks were
pink, and she seemed to be very
happy to be arriving in that place.
Very soon the reason became ap-
parent. A military policeman was on
duty IN the station. He stared and
gave a shout, Mrs. Haring."
II got here at last" she said as she
shook hands-a h~andshake such as is
exchanged between friends long sep
arated.
You're going to be with us?"
"As long as they let me-"
Mrs. Haring went out and up the
street, searching for the daily shift
ing headquarters of the Y. M. G. A.
for the war was moving with great
rapidity since the new offensive be-
gan.
An automobile containing a captain
and three l~ieutenants stopped with a
screaming of the breaks. Young men
boiled out of the a to surround
Mrs. Haring as If she were the belle
of the season.
Another car stopped. More officers.
Around the edge privates lined up
waiting their chance. From that mo-
ment hers was a triumphal progress
up the strec6. It seemed as If the
whole American army wanted to fol-
low her.
1t was a happy party, laughing,
handshaktng, co~ngratulating party
that surrounded the little Y. M. G. A.
woman. She was back, back with
the troops she had served and left for
a time. They were doing their best
to show her how glad they were to
see her-and were succeeding won
derfully.
The record Of Mrs. Augusta Har-
ing of 80 West eth street, New York
City is enviable. She Is a musician.
IT was she, who with Miss Myrtle
| Stinson of Greenfield, Ohio, organized
the Y. M. C. A. work in the new Pol
ish Army, most of which was recruit
cd in the United States.
For -four months she worked
among these men-this army which
will be without a country until the
war is over and victory comes to the
Allies.
Her proudest moment was when
the Commander of the Poles in public
manner, bestowed on her h title OF
! Godmother of the Polish Army.
