OF both vehicles closed a show which

One seller who had particularly
good sales record, seemed to
have the real gift of knack of get

The Harrisburg branch of the

Mr.. Ley gave the vocal solo, "On
the Road to Mandalay," based on
Kipling's poem of the same title.
Mrs. James G. Sanders, chairman of
the community singing movement in

which scored decided hit with all

Boys Reap Harvest Hauling
Baskets of Marketgoers

A score of youngsters who had
answered the clarion call to work
stood at the Third street entrance
of the Broad street market with a
score of small wagons this morning,
ready to haul home the midweek
proyender of hundreds of women
who were inside making purchases
at prices but slightly below the war
time tariff. They formed q lively
company as they stood discussing
their prospects. Hey, keep off that
basket" said a red-haired. pug
nacious youth, who had been watch
ing a newcomer who had standing
in the order of getting there
Around the corner of the big stone
building half a dozen boys were
matching eggs. A policeman stood
near, watching the group, but he
gave no sign of hostility and the
game went on until good housewives
appeared, picked out their wagon
ers and hustled them away on their
tasks.
At the Fulton street entrance an
other score of boys with another
score of wagons (twenty-two, to be
exact) stood for duty. A half-hour
after they had gathered they were
scampering in all directions to earn
their nickels or dimes, depending on
the shrewdness of their employers.
The majority of them received the
higher sum, it was said. They
hauled eggs and butter, onions and
cabbages, apples and oranges, and
in some wagons there We're piles of
flowers that had been brought in
from the gardens and fields by the
farmers and their wives.

MARSHALFOCH
A SIMPLE MAN
DR.. Walsh Tells of Great Mil
itary Leader at Lecture
to. the X. of C..

Simple, unassuming, human and
a savant, an eXqui-
site writer, the sort of soldier the
French Academy loves to honor by
mem bership," is the way DR.. James
j. Walsh, medical director of the
Forham University School of Soci-
ology and professor of physiological
psychology at Catholic College, New
York, described Marshall Foch,
speaking before the knights of Co
lumbus of this city last night in Tech
High Auditorium.
Marshal Foch is now recognized
by all the world as one of the great
est military leaders of all history.
When the unity of command was
given him, he was placed over more
soldiers in the actual fighting line
than had ever been under a single
general before" he said. HE will
go down in history as probably the
most wonderfully gifted general of
armies that the world has ever
known" DR.. Walsh said, adding, 'he
knew all the theory of war as no
one else in our time but his practice
of it put q climax to all the art of
war that the world had ever known" "
Marshal Foch's religious spirit
was declared by DR.. Walsh to be
one of the most surprising things
to our generation. Not long ago, he
said, Marshal Foch was reported to
have said: II approach the end of
my life with the conscience of q
faithful servant who reposes in
the peace of the Lord. Faith Is life
eternal, in a God of goodness and
compassion, has sustaintd me in the
most trying hours. Prayer has en-
lightened my way"
1T is easy to understand then
that when the baton of marshal pre-
sented by the Knights of Columbus
of America came to him, Marshal
Foch declared to friends that moth
ing had quite touched him so deep
ly as this token of honor" DR.. Walsh
said.
Here were nearly half a million
of lay Catholics like himself" he
said, recognizing the supreme task
allies. He knew their work among
the soldiers and knew how much 1t
had meant for the maintenance of
morals and morale among the sold
diers and more than any other he
how much this main
tenance of morale meant for ulti-
mate victory. The Knights of Co.
lumbus as body has perhaps never
done anything that reflected more
honor on them than this rec
ignition of the greatest of modern
soldiers. He was a true knight in his
readiness to do and
risk everything for the right and
hey were only sorry that they could
lot do ever so much more to eX-
press their admiration"

The Quincy in Port
From Genoa, Italy

Philadelphia, March 26. The
steamship Quincy, from Genoa, Italy,
docked here yesterday with sixteen
soldiers, twenty naval men and two
sick officers. Some of the men are
members of casual company No. 81,
from Alabama, which left Bordeaux,
February 8, with forty-five men on
the Horwick Hall bound for Newport
News. The Horwick Hall put in at
Bermuda, February 16 when the re-
turning troops developed mumps.
The Quincy, and the Transportation,
an army boat from St. Nazaire,
France, in distress with engine trou-
BILE put in at Bermuda later and took
aboard the forty-five men left by the
Horwick Hall. The Quincy towed the
the Transportation to Delaware bay
where they arrived early yesterday.
There she dropped the ship which is
awaiting tugs to tow her to this port.
