MANY WOMEN
STOCKHOLDERS
Their Number Almost Equals
That of Male Investors in
Railroad Securities

A set of very interesting figures
concerning its stockholders has just
been issued by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. 1t shows that there are more
stockholders and that they own an
history of the company, that the pro-
portion of stock per holder is lower.
indicating a wider distribution. and
that there are more women investors
in the welfare of the concern than
ever before shown.
The report of the secretary OF the
company shows there are 1Oi22S
stockholders and that thely own an
average of ninety-siX shares apiece.
Stockholders Increase
Since the last statement the number
of stockholders has increased 1878.
and the average holding has decreas-
ed ten shares. Almost one-han OF
the stockholders are women, the
number being 51,4S9. Their average
holdings are ffty-seven shares. While
their average per owner is low, wo-
men have s146. 100000 in par value of
the stock of the railroad.
The figures show that IS per cent.
of the stockholders own ten shares or
less. Ten years ago there We're SSs
associations and corporations owning
Pennsylvania Railroad stock. That
number has now increased to 93S. That
class of holder, in large part, includes
trust companies. savings banks. Ire
and fire insurance companies, building
and loan associations and charities.

to-day over the McAdoo order. It
will directly rob the Brotherhoods of
two men in this city and many
throughout the state whom they
ton favorable to the working men.
Blacks record in the Legislature
was always in favor of the employees
and he never voted in favor of any
advantage. Millar is a Brotherhood
man and could be counted upon to
vote the same way.
The McAdoo order knocks to pieces
all the carefully laid plans of the
Brotherhood legislative committees
which for years have been endeavor-
ing to get men into the Legislature
who would counterbalance the cor
poration influence in House and Sem
ate. Brotherhood men say it is Ri
diculous to suppose that Brotherhood
men elected to the Legislature would
vote simply as the companies wished.
They say that such candidates could
be counted on to give the corpora
tions a fair deal, but the records of
those who have held office are such
as to show that they would not be
bossed by company dictation or lobby
lists. e.
The whole effect of the McAdoo
order will be against the interests of
the unions and they will lose any
where from IA to 90 members in the
next session of the Legislature. Con-
sequently they feel that they have
been dealt a blow in the back by
member of an administration that
has pretended to be friendly to them.
Both Mr. Black and Mr.. Millar have
spent considerable time and some
money in promoting their candidates.
and advertising their campaigns and
this they will be compelled to sacri-
fee. which is regarded as very un-
fair. IF McAdoo wanted to issue
an order of this kind why didn't he
do ii before the, primaries" asked a
friend of Blacks to-day. and this
is the question that is on the lips
of hundreds.

u. S. Airman Rescues
Comrade in Adriatic

Italian Army Headquarters, Sept
2.-One of the finest exploits of the
American hydro-airplane pilots train
ed in Italy was that of J. H. Ham
mond, of Baltimore, who saved Lieu
tenant Ludlow during a raid on the
Austrian naval base at Palo. While
Ludlow was dropping bombs his ma
chine was riddled by Austrian fire
and he was compelled to alight on
the Adriatic, three miles from Palo
When Hammond saw Ludlow's plight
he swooped to his rescue, braving
the concentrated Austrian fire and
the attacks Of five enemy airplanes
Hammond hit the water near Lud-
lows machine, ran alongside. took
Ludlow aboard and slowed him un-
der the motor of his own one-seater
plane. lie then set Ludlow's ma
chine afire.
Meanwhile the enemy aviators
were keeping up a steady fire. Ham
mond, with his own gun, kept the
Austrians off and got away safely,
although pursued half way across the
Adriatic. Finally, his machine gave
out while near the Italian coast and
the Americans were forced to swim
ashore.

Juvingy, Taken by Yanks,
a Sad Heap of Ruins
By Associated Press

London, Sept. 2.-The sad heap of
what once were homes. which is all
that remains of the place, wasn't
even of tactical importance, says the
correspondent for Reuters Limited,
in dispatch from the headquarters
of the American forces on the Aisne
front, describing the capture OF
Juvigny by the American forces. Con-
timing the dispatch says:
There was very little fighting done
in Juvigny itself, but in the neighbor-
ing valleys where the fighting resolv-
ed itself into general infantry work,
woodcraft and groundcraft proved
invaluable to the Americans. 1t was
in consequence of their craft and
good shooting that the American cap
lures reached such high figure,
$50 being cleverly rounded up.
n was the 104th German regi-
menx that tried to bar the way of the
Ameztcans. This regiment surrend-
cred when there was no other option,
after heavy losses. The enemy's
measures to hold this plateau proved
how seriously he must have regarded
its loss. The Seventh and Eleventh
reserves divisions seemed to have been
normal occupants of the line. but as
they began to suffer three other divi-
sions were hurried to reinforce them.
One regiment, the 227th marched l4O
miles. The march started at dawn
on August 21 and the men went
straight into the battle on their arri-
val
Shortly after dawn on Sunday
when the American advance recon-
menced, it became plain that the
enemy's resistance was broken and
that he had decided that the p!a-
teau could not be held"

ing the fine.
Hundreds of auto owners patriotic
ally kept their machines in garages
yesterday for the first Sunday in
months and abandoned pleasure
trips. With ideal weather conditions
"a clear sky and cooling breeze-a
mum Der of drivers said it was. a real
sacrifice to give up a pleasure ride,
but they did so willingly and made no
complaint, except to declare that the
few autoists who did use their cars
were decidedly unpatriotic.
NO effort was made to make a
complete or Official list of the own
ers who used their machines. Most
of the autoists who did not observe
the order did not come out until in
the evening. Market street in the
early afternoon was deserted and
Front street, always crowded on Sun
day with a stream of cars going
north and south, was as quiet as a
small road in the outskirts. The main
highways leading, to the city were
the same. many persons commenting
upon the patriotism shown by the
autoists.
OF the few cars which were in use
Packards. and Pierce Arrows were
about as numerous as Fords and the
other smaller cars, indicating that
those who were in all probability
pleasure bent regardless of the gaso-
line saving plan of the fuel admins
tration, came from all walks of life.
The autos which were in use how
ever, were a very small percentage
of the ones usually on the streets on
Sunday.
In some districts of the city young
men yelled Stacker at any pleasure
autoist who passed by. A group in
River Front Park kept this up all
afternoon.
]. Clyde Myton, secretary of the
Motor Club of Harrisburg, said that
he believes practically every mem
ber met the request as all with whom
he had communicated had endorsed
the move. Loyal motorists said that
while few of the cars which were
seen yesterday may have been used
because of necessity, the majority of
the owners who were on the streets
were undoubtedly out for pleasure
trips, a decidedly unpatriotic action
they declared.
One army officer in noncombatant
service at Middletown. attracted
much attention and caused comment
all over the city, as from noon until
midnight. he toured the streets in
a Dodge car, in which a number of
young women were riding with him.

NAVAL RESERVES
mot TO BE CALLED
BY DRAFT BOARDS
Secretary Daniels Takes
Stand Opposite to That
of Chairman Long

Philadelphia, Sept. a. Secretary
Daniels yesterday denied the claim
or George w. Long, chairman OF
Philadelphia Draft Board No. s. that
there were 10000 men of draft age
in the Philadelphia district who have
escaped National Army service by ell
listing. Mr.. Daniels said the num-
ber in the Philadelphia district did
not exceed 5000 and that they would
be called TO duty within another ten
days or three weeks.
The Secretary said men of draft
age, enrolled and awaiting a call for
service in the Naval Reserves cam ot
be summoned by local draft boards
and inducued into the National Army,
rega -dless of where their serial num-
bers place them in the draft call.
These Naval Reserves are per-
forming a military duty and cannot
be summoned by a local draft board
and inducted into the National Army,
even though they are of draft age,
said Mr.. Daniels.
Within another ten days or three
weeks all of the Naval Reserves will
be called TO duty" he added. I'VE
are calling them as rapidly as our
barracks and training camps will
allow. and are equipping them for
service on merchant and patroI
ships"
Last week Chairman Long said
that men who otherwise would have
been sent to camp weeks ago are
still walking the streets of Philadel.
phia because they are enrolled in the
| Naval Reserves. He said it was ar
| injustice to other draftees lower
on the list than these men, and thai
| it was his intention to summon the
reserves and induct them into the
! National Army.
Secretary Daniel denies that there
are 20, 900 Naval Reserves here. He
says there are only $4,000 uncallec
reserves IN the United States, ant
that the number in the Philadelphia
district cannot exceed 5000.
The ruling applies to men enrolled
in all branches of the Naval Re
| serves There are five branches
known as the Fleet Reserves, tht
Naval Reserves, the Artillery Re
serves, the Coast Defense Reserves
and the Aviation Reserves. The o.,
! 600 uncalled men. mentioned by Sec
rotary Daniels, are divided among
| these five branches.

How great the chance to show the world our best!

Toward the glory of our super-day
Look only onward All the past is dead;
A wondrous future dawns for us, instead
Tho fire and blood shall paint its clouds dull red
A Labor Day? Yea, but with different sound
From other years. New energies abound
While guns of battle shake the very ground
Bend to the burden. Tho hearts bleed and break
Cease to labor for It's thus we make
The sacrifice for absent loved ones sake!
