Whoopee! Bethlehem Fans
Give Schacht Big Sendoff

The city of Bethlehem must have
unbent itself, giving a farewell party
to AL Schacht, mainstay of the Beth
lehem Steel Company ball club, to
judge by accounts in local sporting
pages. Says one narrator:
THE festivities were all confined
within the apartment of Coach Tom
Ready at the Linden Hotel, where all
friends and to refresh his memory if
and royal good time enjoyed.
Memories of the pleasant farewell
Will long linger with "Al'' as it was
with the most sincere regret that
this youngster is departing from the
midst of newly-made and true
friends and to refresh hismomory if
by chance he reaches mo Mans
Land" will be a handsome wrist
watch presented by the members
of the baseball team and his friends.
Whether AL found himself in mo
Mans Land" before the night was
over the historian does not say. 1t
appears that things became very
lively when Jim" Murphy, the SOC
Ger player, entered, starting off the
fun-making in which Al himself was
no slouch. Schacht has had a re-
markable career and that he is hard
to beat the Steelton club we'll knows.
When breaking into fast company"
he told recently, 'I was only jumping
out of my teens. I only weighed 1872
pounds in the International League"
Schacht is one of the lightest men
playing ball, for he weighs no more
than 1S0. Just as the party got fair
ly active a wire came saying that
Tesreau would be on hand by this
morning. Schacht is on the way to
camp with draft quota from Ro-
chester, n. Y, his native town.

Families of Soldiers at
the Front Looked After
by Red Cross Unit

The Harrisburg Red Cross Society,
while eXerting much energy and
spending much time in behalf of the
United States soldiers and sailors, is
also endeavoring to aid through it's
home service station the families of
these men at home. Not one family
of a Harrisburg soldier or sailor is
being permitted to suffer by reason
of lack of funds.
With humble beginnings, the Sec
tion was instituted by the local So
ciety under the direction of Miss Hell
cen Leib some months ago. The work
has become so heavy of late months
that an assistant is now being pro-
cured to assist Miss Leib in her null
titudinous duties.
The duties of this department are
varied. Much time and effort have
been devoted, especially during the
early months of the department. to
tide over a family when the allot-
ments from the War Risk Bureau
have been delayed. More than $1,000
has been loaned in this manner since
the outbreak of the war. Another
important duty performed by Miss
Leib's department has been to care
for the children of service men when
the mother or other relative caring
for them has died since the outbreak
of the war. Giving Information, i'm
proving home conditions of soldiers
people and performing dozens of 9TH
er small bits of service for their
families are numbered among the
many duties being performed by the
department.

WARNING FROM
ITALY SAVED THE
BRITISH FLEET
England Told to Keep Ships
on Channel When War
Was Brewing

Philadelphia, June 20.-A remark
able story of International diplomacy
was unfolded in the Gold Room of the
Adelphia Hotel at a luncheon of the
Rotary Club yesterday.
William Potter, Pennsylvania Fuel
Administrator. formerly United States
Minister to Italy, in a three-minute
talk gave the Rotarians a glimpse
into the realms of secret diplomacy,
showing how monarchs play the game
of peace and war behind closed doors
in palaces.
Mr.. Potter told the story by per-
mission, he said, of the Italian AM
bassador at Washington. He cited
three specific facts relating to the
outbreak of the world war to show
Italy's steadfast stand on the side of
the Allies.
Italy" Mr.. Potter said, "has not
received her fair share of credit for
the part she has played in this war.
There has been a feeling here and
there that Italy is not exerting her
self to the utmost to aid the cause
of the Allies. That is not true. Italy
will fight to the last man. She is
solidifed; she will win.
Il want to tell you a few things
to show you how much Italy has
done-to show you how strong is her
love for the Allies. In August, 1913,
Austria sounded her to find out
whether she would support Austria in
war against Serbia. Italy declined
absolutely. She declared that her al
lance with Germany and Austria was
defensive purely and she would en-
ter no war that would embroil ma
tions with which she was at peace.
In July, 1914. after the assassina-
tion of the Austrian heir, Italy ap-
pealed to England not to disperse her
fleet, then assembled in the Channel
for review. In August. 1914, on the
eve of war. she notified France she
could release every soldier guarding
the italian frontier. as she was not
going to stand by Austria. This
made 1t possible for France to re-
move her army from the italian from
tier and add 100000 men to fight at
the battle of Marne.
"I knew these facts when I was in
in May, 1915, at the time the
Lusitania was sunk. They came
Government channels, but
my lips were sealed"
