MEN
MADE GOOD in
MANY BATTLES
Splendid Records Made by
Harrisburg Soldiers Wher-
ever Called to Serve

AS the "doughboys" were the
backbone OF the combat divisions
so were the selective service men
the great bulk of the army, and
more than 1900 of them sailed
forth from the city. Continuing the
lgure of speech it is evident that
the drafted men of Harrisburg com
posed no small vertebrae of that
SUN H-backed fighting force which
swept the Hun from France.
The valiant service the drafted
man performed in "this mans
army needs no rehashing for ev-
oryone is familiar with the work
they accomplished in the fighting
lines, behind the front and in the
camps of America. It was well and
ably done as has been attested by
many divisional and special duty
corps commanders.
While the lot of all in the army
was tough, that of the drafted man
was usually q little tougher even
than that. Compared with the Reg

and there scattered throughout q

had their own little group of
friends, who stuck together through
thick and thin, could chat together
about mutual acquaintances back
there" while trying to thaw out their
shtns around a dugout fire and other
connections which bound them more
closely to home.
The majority of drafted men were
shifted and shunted SO far around
through a division that they rarely
ever saw an acquaintance. or
course new bunkies are quickly
found in the army, but there were
periods on the other side, particu-
larly when the "homesickness blues
were jazzing into an unwelcome
chord that the desire to chat of the
old loafing and stamping grounds
had to go unappeased because of no
one around familiar with them. And
altogether a chat with a bird who

as a three dayer in Paris"

THE K. OF c. DID
GREAT WAR WORK

THE knights of Columbus did
a great war work both in
Harrisburg and for the
cause in general. The local
branch of the order threw open
its rooms as a headquarters for
soldiers and nothing was too
good for the men who applied
there. Many were assisted in
various ways, good entertain
ment was provided and when the
boys began to come home from
the front a place was provided
where they might go and apply
for work. A paid secretary was
maintained to look after their
wants and to see to it that all
visitors had a good time.
In addition to the local work
large amounts of money were
raised here for the promotion of
the work In the training camps
and in France. The local Sec
retary, assisted by many volun-
teers, went to Carlisle repeatedly
and gave entertainment for the
sick and wounded soldiers there
and to the camps at New Cum
berland and Middletown, extend
ing invitations to entertainments
in the city and seeing to it that
the men got to and from those
places when the programs for
their benefit were given here. All
In all the X. of C. in Harrisburg
rendered a service that matches
up very we'll with the splendid
record of the organization wher-
over 1t was active during the war.

Harrisburg men who became the
eyes of the soldiers and sailors.
The record of the naval aviators in
patrolling the North Sea, bombing
submarines. conveying transports
into and out of port, fighting Boche
patrol planes and doing many other
arduous duties will never be fully
appreciated. In the same way, the
fighting flyers of the Army, VINO

of work, reflecting credit on them

VOLUNTEERS OF
CITY RUSHED TO
COUNTRY'S HELP
First Call to Arms Found Hun
dreds Of Young Men Ready
For the Fray

The volunteer soldier from Har-
risburg was decided factor in the
nnal settling up that this country
had with Mad william. And in
sending forth her sons as volun-
teers, Harrisburg made an enviable
record.
Harrisburg sent out so many vol
unteers at the first call for fighters
th4 the first two draft calls did not
taRe one single man from this city.
And in this supreme record she
stood alone. in all the United States.
In fact, there is not. to the knowl-
edge of the writer, another COM
munity which was passed, even
once, in the call for conscripted SOL
diers. But Harrisburg was twice
excused from the cali because of the
number of volunteers from the dis
trict.
Tho Regular Army Is made up of
volunteer fighters. OF the Regular
Army divisions, there were twenty
formed and seven of these saw serv-
ice in Franco. OF course, they
were largely filled up with National
Army and possibly some National
Guardsmer but the basis of the
Regulars was always the volunteer.
The first five Regular divisions made
an enviable record for themselves
in France, the first two especially,
as the first two divisions in France
were the most efficient shock troops
Of the American Army.
Guards Big Record
But the volunteers were not con-
fined to the Regular Army, by
great deal. The National Army pro-
duced n remarkable fighting army,
which, in the performance of it's du-
ties, in the fire with which 1t at
tackled, showed itself to be inferior
to none of the famous Boche
sturmtruppen. The Guard also
was adulterated with a sprinkling of
National Army men, and some of
the Regular Army. Taken by and
large, however, the National Guard,
composed of volunteer units, ac-
quilted itself better than at any
time in its history. Take our own
Twerty- eighth Division. Cited in
army, corps and brigade orders at
several different and distinct times,
times conducted itself in a manner
calculated to bring pride to every
member of the organization. Given
q most important sector in the at
tack of the middle of July, when
the Boche tried for the last time to
break through and found their at
tack turned into defeat, the. Iron
Division acted like a band of sea-
soned fighters, instead of an organi-
zation in the front line for the first
time.
The accomplishments of the
Twenty-eighth. the Keystone Divi-
sion, are by this time we'll known
to every reader of. the newspapers.
Practically decimated several times.
they still held on. and, with a hand
full OF officers and men, fought their
way every time until their objectives
were reached, and then had to be
restrained from overrunning the
stopping places. And this was q
volunteer division.
The Navy, of course, did not have
to resort to conscription. Already
in better shape than the Army to
enter a war. the Navy began a con-
