LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Says Fifteen Miles an Hour
Is Fast Enough For Autos

10 the Editor Of the TELEGRAPH:
The contention of Mayor Keister.
that the automobile speed limit
within the city limits should be fixed
at twelve miles an hour, ought to
have the active support of every
resident of Harrisburg. We are now
supposed to have a fifteen-mile-a
hour maximum, and several ill-ad-
vised gentlemen propose to increase
this limit to twenty-four miles an
hour. They claim, in advocacy of
their position, that as high as twcn-
ty-five miles an hour is allowed in
some parts of New York city. That
accounts foa the appalling death
loss in that city annually from auto
mobile accidents" 1t is nothing
more than criminal recklessness on
the part of the New York city gov
ernment. Why do not these pro-
Chalmers for more speed refer to
some other governments than New
York city? For instance, in Japan
the speed limit in the country is fix
ed at about twelve miles per hour.
and in built-up sections reduced to
about eight.
Few people have calculated the
distance an automobile runs at these
rates of speed. Fifteen miles an
hour means twenty-five feet Sec
ond; twelve miles an hour, seventeen
and siX-tenths of a mile a second;
and twenty-four miles an hour, thir-
ty-fiVe and two-tenths feet per sec
ond. Take, for example, the Null
berry street viaduct. A motor car
coming along at fifteen miles an
hour, and suddenly turning (by acci-
dent or otherwise), will reach the
railing in less than a second, the dis
tance being less than twenty-five
feet Running at the rate of TWEEN
ty-four miles per hour, the railing
will be hit in less than half sec
ond. What chance has a pedestrian
under those circumstances. Verify,
let us stand by the Mayor, and help
to lessen the rate of speed, rather
than to increase 1t.

TAKEN THIERRY
GIVES YANKEES
WARM WELCOME
Woman RuSheS From Cellar
Crying Thanks For Pres
ence of Americans

With the Americans at the Marine,
July ga war correspondent de-
scribes the evacuation of Chateau
Thierry in this fashion: Yesterday
morning, al hour after the Germans
had evacuated Chateau Thierry, we
marched into the city following n
squadron of French dragons and
mounted American troops. The last
four Germans had quit the town n
few minutes previously, and quar-
ter of an hour later cavalry round
ed up the quartet. They were tele-
phonists and had been advising the
retreating Germans by means or
hidden wires regarding the Franco
American entry into town.
Out of "A cellar, as we entered,
came rushing little old woman,
widow she was. we learned later, and
loudly thanked God that the town
had been delivered from the in
Nader, crying again and again,
''Nivent les Americans"
She rushed up to me and kissed
me on both cheeks. Then a cobbler,
95 years old, duplicated this express
sion of joy, afterward asking pardon.
Just then a French artillery gem
erai arrived in an armored automo-
bile. The aged woman kissed MS
hand He leaned over and kissed her
checks.
lmme ediately a stream of armored
machines came dashing into the city
carrying three-inch guns and ma
chine guns. Dragons and lancers
came drawing field guns. which were
soon placed in position on the
heights north of Chateau Thierry.
In the meantime Americans were
already emplaCing guns on hill 2O4'
and soon the retreating German col
limns were under heavy crossfire,
while French. British and American
airplanes were sweeping low send
irg streams of machinegun bullets
into their ranks.
The German infantry is falling
back in an eastcrly direction.
Americans spranS across the
Marne over pontoons and steel boats
provided by engineers.
Now a covering movement Is un-
der way toward the Aisne. The
French and Americans are attacking
astride the Oucq in an easterly dl-
rection. forging ahead and pinching
in the outlet through which the Ger
mans are retiring.

ROTARIANS HEAR
ABOUT CANTIGNY
Rev. H. A. Riddle, Stretcher-
Bearer at the Fight, Tells
How Our Boys Fought

How the men of the American con-
tigny with the fear of God in their
hearts and stern resolve to rout the
Germans or die in the attempt, was
related to the Harrisburg Rotary
Club at luncheon to-day by the Rev.
H. A. Riddle, formerly of Harris
burg. who served as a stretcher bear
err in the Y. NJ. G. A. service during
that famous battle.
The American troops trained for
this fight in the fields near the Hut"
over which the young minister pre-
sidded and just before the battle as
many of them as could crowd the
big building attended communion
service and after leaving letters to
be sent home in case they fell, took
to the trenches and then went over
thetop wit ha cheer and yell, send
ing terror to the German heart as
they sped along.
THE way was we'll paved for them
by the American artillery" said the
speaker, "and l may say that the
man who has son or friend in our
artillery has reason to be proud"
The Rev. Mr.. Riddle was with the
troops during all of this fight and
he related an incident which shows
the temper of the men in action. A
party of Gerfans were located in 81
cave and kept pouring volleys of ma
chine gun bullets from the mouth,
refusing to surrender and shooting
all VIII oapproached. A private dis
covered a rear entrance and tossed
in a few hand grenades. The Ger
mans came piling out and were shot
before they could ge into action on
the outside. They had their chance
to surrender" said the speaker, "and
our boys didn't have time to bother
with prisoners"
Mr.. Riddle said that driving a
Ford ambulance and being a minis
ter of the gospel at one and the same
time is a difficult combination" but
it is merely one of the many things
the Y M. c. A. worker will do in
France that he did not expect to do.
Other speakers were Williaf Jen-
nings, of the Council of National
Defense; e. j .Stackpole, of the Y.
M. c. A. recruiting committee, and
Edwin ]. Lewis, who read a stirring
letter from Captain Jones, in the
transport service, and said that he
was sad but proud to announce that
he has just bade goodby to his two
sons, who have entered the army.
The speakers were introduced by j..
William Bowman. President Eli n.
Hershey presided.

REGISTERED MEN
TO GET TRAINING
WITH RESERVES
Central Pennsylvania Coun-
ties to Follow General
Crowder's Advice

Plans to give every registered man
in the county an opportunity to
learn military tactics before he is
called into the National Aarmy were
put under way by William Jennings,
chairman of the Dauphin county
public safety committee this morn
ing.
The plans will include three nights
of drill every week, when members
of the Harrisburg Reserves will meet
the draft eligibles on the Island Park
playground and drill them in infan-
try military tactics. Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Friday nights of this
week the drills will take place. To-
night Mr.. Jennings will make ar
rangements for the drills to take
place on the island every Monday
Wednesday and Friday evening.
Il would suggest that every draft
man liable to military service take
advantage of the opportunity for II
will do him lot of good to secure
the preliminary training in mill
tary tactics" Mr.. Jennings said this
MORNING.
Movement Grows
The movement is not local. The
chairman of the public safety COM
mittee of ten or twelve surrounding
counties met at Fahnestock Hall al
1 o'clock this afternoon to discuss
plans to arrange for military training
for draft registrants in their coun-
ties. Y. NJ. c. A. leaders and mem
bers of the Knights of Columbus also
took part in the meeting to arrange
plans.
The idea in addition to giving the
men training, Mr.. Jennings said, is
to maintain the morale of the I'M
called draft registrants.
All local draft boards received
orders from General Crowder to ar.
range to give their registrants the
preliminary training. The loca
boards requested Mr.. Jennings aid II

US. SOLDIERS
EVERYWHERE IN
BRITISH ZONE
Yankees Scattered Behind
Lines; Sound of Mouth
Organ Is Heard

Head0uarters American Troops with
the British Forces In France, July
22.-American soldiers are now spread
all over the back areas of the British
zone in France. So thick are they it
Is impossible to miss them out of
doors. If over the seas men are not
met in groups on the road, they are
seen sitting in circles around British
non-commissloneu officers listening
to lectures. on quick firing or doing
gas mask drills in the meadows.
Yankee Hikers In Columns
There are columns of Americans
hiking" along the valleys beside fast
running trout streams. and up and
down or around the hills with which
these areas are studded. You see
them off duty in all the farm yards
and up all the lanes. They are
wandering about on the by-roads get
ting the lay of the land. and some
times stepping aside to gather the
poppies. blue bells, daisies and but
tercups that make the French coun-
tryside look like a huge boukquet at
this season.
There are Americans in the villages
buying kpick- -nacks, hunting the
scarce American smoking tobacco or
getting first notions of French from
their picture books. They are on an
improvised diamond in a pasture with
bat and ball occasionally, not often.
for sporting articles are quite as
scarce as American tobacco here
where the American Young Mems
Christian Association has not yet
penetrated effectively.
American airs are heard every
where-sung, whistled or played on
an instrument that is quite as
strange to these parts as were the
bag-pipes four years ago-the mouth
organ.
The pipes and the mouth organ
come togt ther frequently where the
Scotch and Americans are billeted in
such proximity as to facilitate an eX-
change of amenities. If the overseas
boys haven't yet learned to appre-
ciate all the beauties of the pipes
the Scotchman dances to almost any
kind of music.

SECOND BAPTIST
HOLDSPATRIOTIC
WAR SERVICES
Race Shown to Have
Played Important Part
in Nations Battles

All of yesterday was devoted by
the congregation of the Second Bap-
tlst Church temporarily worshiplng
IN the hall at the corner of Cowden
and Briggs Streets to a patriotic
rally. Services were held in the
morning, afternoon and evening and
the DAY was one that will long be
remembered by the congregation.
AT the morning service a service
young men of the Sunday school
and congregation who have re-
sponded to the colors. They are
Ira Layton, Ralph c. Warrick. James
{. Jones, Patrick Henry Taylor and
Phillip j. Jones. At this service an
address was made by E. j. Stack
pole in which he dwelt upon the hon
orable part the negro has had In
every war of this country. He re-
terred to the recent commendation
OF General Pershing who said "I
cannot commend too highly the col
ored combat troops who exhibit fine
capacity and quick training and Gag
erness for the most dangerous
work. The speaker also referred
to the fact that it is an axiom of
our military history that our colored
troops fought bravely. There were
1000 colored soldiers he said in the
continental Army and in the Civil
War almost 100000 colored soldiers
were enlisted. In the present war
there have already enlisted over
100000. including 1000 o;cers. $50
medical officers, three regiments Of
neld artillery, one regiment of engi-
neers, thirty-four chaplains and $50
Y. M. c. A. workrs.
Have Proud Record
Mr.. Stackpole mentioned the fact
that the first martyr in the Boston
massacre was a negro, that a negro
stood with I2sary at the North Pole
ana that n negro had saved the lifo
or John Harris when he was about to
De burned by the Indians. He also
referred to the large number of col
ored sailors in the Navy during the
war of 1912 and to the honorable
part that race had taken in ever>.
great struggle in which this country
was engaged, the heroic work of the
colored soldiers in the Cuban and
philippine campaigns being particn-
larly mentioned.
At the afternoon service there was
union meeting when the Rev,
Warren. Brown, pastor of the MI
Zion Baptist Church, of Steelton
and his congregation Joined in tha
service. A special literary and mn
slcal program was given in the eve
ming.
The Rev. Albert ]. Greene. pastor
