was George Graybill, also of that
city.
Colonel Richards. the One Hun
dred and Twelfth commander, from
Oil City, told of some of the splen-
did work of his regiment abroad.
First Across Ecslc
The one Hundred and Twelfth
had it's first casualties on July 6,
of last year." the colonel said. ION
that day l sent forward five men
from each company and two extra
platoons to help the French near
Chateau-Thierry. Gas and shelltire
and wounded forty-siX men. Our
regiment was the only one that got
men across the Nesle river. The
Boche artillery and machine guns
had set up a fire over the river at
Fismette. Two companies got over
despite the terrific fire"
Captain r. ID. jenkins and Lieu
tenant Charles w. Thomas, officers
of Company /, one Hundred and
Twelfth, which came over on the
Pocahontas, both spoke in glowing
terms of the excellent spirit of the
boys from Harrisburg and Dauphin
county, and said that their bravery
and service was equal to that of any
of the best soldiers. The bravest Of
the division was the proud term
applied to the local boys by their
commanding officers.
Captain Jenkins quieted the fears
of any Harrisburg sweethearts when
he assured his questionerS that the
local boys had remained loyal and
did not marry any French lassies.
Boys of Company l do not seem
to dislike service, at least not when
it's getting after the Hun, and one
of them declared he was confident
the whole outfit would enlist again
if necessary.
Finney in Command
Major General Muir and part of
his staff were aboard the Mercury,
the second ship to dock at pier rs,
at the foot of Snyder avenue.
The troops aboard the Mercury
were commanded by Col. Maurice Il.
Finney, of Harrisburg, and those on
the Pocahontas by Col. q. G. Rick
ards, commander of the 112th in
fantry, a regiment originally formed
by combining the Eighth and Six
teenth regiments of the old National
Guard of pennsylvania. Col. Richards
formerly was commander of the Six
teenth and led his regiment through
out the war.
General MUIR, greatly pleaSeu

the 2Sth Division, refused to COM
ment on the proposed parade. lie
would talk about his iron men, how
ever, and made it known in no un-
certain terms that he thinks them
as fine as any soldiers anywhere.
Here is what he had to say:
"I was in command of the 2Sth
Division from the time / went to
France with it, either as divisional
or corps commander, until the arm

the armistice was signed, it was in

weeks. During these three weeks it
changed it's location from the Vesle

to the Woevre opposite Metz.

greetings, cheers and footing of
whistles were exchanged almost con-
stantly from that point until the ship
docked. y big hydroplane from the
Navy Yards flew out over the trans
port circling it many times. then
lying up the river and returning.
Crews from the yards manned small
boats and rowed out on the river
close to the transports. The boys ap-
prcCiated this welcome from the
navy boys and hundreds of the SOL
mass counted for the sailors keep
ing time with the strokes of the
oars.
Rushed to Camp Dix
1t was just o'clock when the
PoCahontas was passed at League
Island and one hour later the boys
were at the dock where another
celebration was in store for them.
This was the best OF all, for a big
band, a committee of Philadelphia
women and many of the relatives
and friends of the troops had
crowded to the dock to catch
glimpse of the heroes.
After debarking and enjoying n
bite of luncheon the boys marched
quickly to waiting troop trains a
short distance from the dock and
were rushed to Camp Dix.
At 2.20 o'clock the Springfield
the last boat sent to meet the
transports, met the Mercury just be-
low League Island, and the boys on
board this big boat had their turn
in exchanging welcoming cheers.
Mrs. Minnie AIillward, of New
Cumberland, was aboard the Spring
field, hoping to see her sons, Pri-
Yates Leroy and Harry Millward, at
tached to the Machine Gun unit of
the one Hundred and Twelfth In
fantry Regiment. Many other rela-
tives from Central Pennsylvania
towns, were on board also, among
them the wife of Lieutenant Colonel
NJ. II. Taggert, attached to General
Muir's staff.
AS the transport Mercury and the
Springfield We're steaming up the
river a young woman on the latter

less than one hundred feet apart.
Bill heard the call and waved. 1t

Farther up the river Colonel
Maurice f.. Finney, commander of
the old Eighth Regiment, answered
when his name was called across the
water and waved to friends on the
Springfield.
Company d men were scattered
along the lower deck in the fore
of the Mercury and when the unit
was called for cheers in response
were given from half a dozen
groups. one of the boys called out,

Breaks All Records

Miss Grace Sanderson,
New Washington Hotel,
Seattle, Wash.
My dear Miss SaRderson:
have enjoyed very much
your great reform picture
"The Fall of Barbary Coast"
it's message will aid the au-
thorities in their efforts to
bring about better condition
in city life. That any city
allows profit to be made of
vice is unspeakablc. A red
light district is a relic of bar
barism, a breeding place for
poverty, crime, blindness, in
sanity and weakness.
THE fall Of Barbary Coast
is the most powerful story
have ever seen on the screen;
there is not a dull moment
from start to finish.
You are greatly TO be con-
graduated upon being the au-
thoress of such a super-pro-
duct:on. IL will live long in
the minds OF those who are
fortunate enough to see it.
Very sincerely years.

PLEADS FOR SOVIET RUSSIA
District Convention of Steel Workers
Urges the Withdrawal of Ameri-
can Troops From Country.

A resolution urging the United
States to withdraw it's troops from
Russia and establish relations with
soviet Russia was forwarded to Pres
ident Wilson by the Allied Iron and
Steel council of Gary, Ind, represent
ing $4,000 workers in session there.
The resolution protests against
the United States government giving
to the sO-called KOlchak or Denikine
governments support in any form" ;"
and adds:
1--WE believe that as no state of war
exists between the United States and
Russia, we have no right to have any
military forces in Russia, and more
so as such Interference is of a reac-
tionary character, calculated to over
throw the only government Of the peo-
pie that Russia ever had, and replace
1t with the reactionary form that kept
the Russian people down for centu-
ries.
"We demand that all such interfer-
ence cease, that all armed forces be
withdrawn, that the blockade be
raised and relations opened with the
soviet government, as being the real
Russian government, and that they be
allowed to settle their own internal af
fairs without interference from any
foreign power"

Miners Strike Costly Affair.

The Yorkshire (Eng.) miners strike
has been an expensive bit of business
for the union as well as for people
not directly connected with the dis
pute. The generally accepted figures
are:
Damages to mines, $10,000,000.
Coal lost to industry, $15000,000.
Loss to kindred industries, $12,5O0,-
900.
The strike fund of the miners,
amounting to 81 100000 was exhausted
with the payment of the fourth weeks
strike benefits. This fund, it was stat
ed, had taken the miners some %
years to accumulate.
The local government board, it is
stated, cut lot Of red tape and with
the sympathetic cooperation of the To-
cal relief authorities averted dire dis
tress throughout the district.
In some cases $3.50 week was al
lowed every married woman, with
$125 additional for every child. This
money, with the strike benefit, averted
the authorities believe, a great deal OF
suffering.

TO END COSTLY TURNOVER"
Experts Now at Work on Labor Prob
lem Which Means Much to All
Industries.

Labor turnover-the shifting Of
workers from one job to another
costs the United States $2,5O0,000,000
a year. How best to stop it is the
problem with which efficiency men and
employment managers are wrestling.
us 1T difficult to realize that this
country must pay so much," says Col.
Arthur Woods, assistant to the Sec
retary of war, in commenting on the
large number of discharged service
men already employed who are apply
ing for better jobs. But such is the
case, and l believe that a great deal
OF this turnover can be directly attrib
uted to a lack of system of industrial
training, wherein men who are un-
skilled but have the ambition to be-
come skilled men can be trained for
skilled work.
MANY discharged service men, upon
being confronted with their old jobs
they held before the war, say: What?
Go back to the old humdrum way?
Never!
care they not right? They have
come back better men in every way,
with higher ideals and ambitions
These men took positions which to
their minds were inferior, but only
with the idea of later seeking some
thing better.
indications now point to the fact
that they are applying in increasing
numbers to our employment bureaus
for better places, not because they
hold any particular grudge against
their employers, but because they see
no immediate chance to better them
selves where they are. Inquiry at some
factories discloses that workers are
often assigned to tasks for which they
are not suited, and where no provision
is made for fitting them to the job.
Returned soldiers are certainly en-
titled to training. Even if they were
not, it is to the advantage of the en-
ployer to give it to them"
Colonel Woods has long advocated
the establishment Of industrial train
ing classes in plants, not only for
present employees, but to help dis
charged soldiers become skilled work
ers.

Now that you have the indisputable evi-
dence of Natural Gas depletion before you,
coming from the highest authority in the
land, will you inaugurate an investigation
that will establish beyond reasonable doubt
the merit of these claims? Disregard or de-
lay in acting upon this reasonable request
will be reflected in most disagreeable way
when severe cold weather comes and de-
pleted supply of Natural Gas utterly fails to
meet demands that will be made upon it.
The affairs of The Logan Natural Gas &
Fuel Company are the Concern of its pa
irons, because it is through this Companys
service that they receive their gas supply.
No matter what assertions are made by or
concerning other companies regarding abil-
ity to furnish gas, rates to be charged or
methods to be pursued in bringing about
the most important result of allthat of
conservation, you, our patrons, and our
selves are most vitality interested in the
problems that confront us in our own parti-
cular situation. Will you in your own inter
est take prompt action to investigate?
