WAR RECORD OF
EVERY MAN IS
SOUGHT BY CITY
Post Carriers to Aid in Getting
Data For Official We'll
come Home

The name and war record of every
Harrisburger who served the nation
during the World War will be COM
piled through the census of the city,
which is to be taken at once by the
mail CARRIERS under the direction of
Frank c. Sites. postmaster.
The census is part of the prepara-
tions now under way by the commit
tee of 125 citizens appointed by the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce to
arrange for a welcome-home celebra-
ton for the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines of the Harrisburg district, on
Sunday and Monday, September 2S
and 20. William Jennings is chair
man, and has been authorized to ap-
point subcommittees to carry through
the necessary arrangements for the
demonstration.
The same committee, under the
leadership of Spencer c. Gilbert as
chairman, will have charge of the
project to provide a suitable war me-
mortal in honor of the Harrisburg SOL
diers, sailors and marines, at Thir-
teenth and State streets as culmina-
tion of the whole Capitol Park and
Memorial bridge plans of the State.
The soldiers celebration, according
to tentative plans now under consid-
Grafton, will take the form of a great
open air demonstration of gratitude
to the service men. Sunday afternoon
it is likely an open air devotional and
Thanksgiving service, featured by
prominent speakers music, commun-
ity singing. and the distribution OF
medals of honor to the service men,
will be staged on the Island.
a rtOrs
men, athletics games and stanuts on
the Island, a big feed" and a dance,
will include the program of enter
tainment. These plans are subject to
change IL the committees in charge
decide that other arrangements will
be more favorably received by those
in whose honor the demonstration has
been arranged.
The census to be taken by the mail
carriers at once, will make possible
the according of a celebration to every
service man. The committee pointed
out that without personal knowledge
of all the men whom it will honor, the
arrangements cannot be as complete
as the committee desires them to be
Therefore the census will be conduct
ed with minute detail, to make the
list as complete as possible.
Cards, to bear the names of the ser
vice men, and their record in the SER
vice, are being printed at the present
time, and will be distributed to the
mail men within a day or two. After
that, householders viii be called upon
by the mail carriers to volunteer all
available information, which will aid
in the compilation of the list. The
tasks, committeeman point out, must
be accomplished as expeditiously as
possible, as the time remaining for
the welcome home demonstration is
limited.

THIS TREATY
OR NO TREATY."
WILSON SAYS
There Can Be No Other, Presi-
dent Declares in Mon
tana Speech
WILL U. S. FILL PLEDGE?
Question Whether America
Will Keep Honor to Its
People and World

Billings, Sept. II. - Laying his
appeal for the Peace Treaty before
the people of Montana to-day, Presi-
dent Wilson declared the question
of it's ratification was a question
whether the United States would
fulfill its pledge to it's people and
to the world.
There were two addresses on his
days program, Mr.. Wilson speaking
at the Billings Auditorium before
noon so that he could arrive in
Helena in time for Il meeting at
night. He reached here from Bis
marck, n. D., only a short time be-
fore the hour for his address.
Mr.. Wilson said he had comb
west Ito consult" with the people
in the light of circumstances which
affected the whole world. Every
where, he declared, the human
heart beat the same and on both
sides of the ocean there was a sin
cere desire that there should be no
more war.
1t was a mistake therefore, the
President continued, to debate the
Peace Treaty as if it were an ordin-
airy Treaty. 1t was not merely a
Treaty with Germany, he said, but
a Treaty effecting a settlement of
the affairs of the world.
And it is this Treaty or no
Treaty" he added. 1T is this
Treaty because there can be no
other"
This settlement is the first inter
national settlement that is based up
on the happiness of the average pco-
Pie throughout the world. 1t is a
peoples treaty, AMI 1 venture the
prediction that it is not wise for
parliaments and congresses to at
tempt to, alter it." 1t is Il severe
treaty the President went on, but
justly so. Some of the men who
had called 1t unduly harsh, he aid
ed, were criticisins the administra"
ton a year ago because they thought
the United States would be toe easy
with Germany,
.... PiticuI Now
They were pitiless then" he said;
they are pitiful now"
The American dead in the war,
Mr. Wilson declared, hadfought not
for the redemption of America. but
for the redemption of the world.
It was one of the hardest of his
trials during the war, he said. to

GIRLS DEATH
BRINGS TOLL TO
FOUR IN RIOTS
Young Woman Falls When
Troops Fire Into Bos-
ton Mob
BY associated Press.

Boston, Sept. 1.-THE death to-
day Of a young woman believed to
be Miss Margaret Walsh. brought
the number or last nights riot to
tour. The young woman was shot
during the disturbance in the South
Boston district where State Guard
troops fired into a crowd. Two men
were killed at the same time.
Richard D. Reemts, a striking no.
nceman, was shot and dangerously
wounded this morning. At the hos
pltal he said he had been shot by
Police Sergeant John D. Mcdonald
according to the sergeant the shot
was fired by Abraham Karp, n store
Keeper in the South End, who ex-
planned that he thought someone
was attempting to break into his
shop and going out to investigate
saw Reemts rushing toward him
and fired. Karp was arrested.
The authorities claim that Reemts
was one of two former officers who
held up two volunteer policemen
during the night and stripped them
of their guns, clubs and badges. Ar
thur D. Shea, striking policeman,
and the alleged companion of
Reemts, was arrested charged with
robbery.
Score Wounded
The third day of the police strike
opened with a casualty list of four
persons killed and nearly score,
including four women, injured as
a result OF the activities of State
troops in policing the city last night.
The military forces, five thousand
in number, were under orders to
restore lawful conditions to the point
of using the ball ammunition with
which they were provided if neces-
sary.
Success in quelling the rioting and
suppressing the looting of previous
hours marked their efforts to u large
degree, although there were several
serious riots. In these most casual
ties resulted. Show windows were
broken in many places but in only a
few was there looting, troops and
the skeleton police force of regulars
and volunteers being quick to reach
the seat of the disturbances.
Crowds filled the streets during
most of the night. They surged
through the business district with
accompanying disorders and along
the streets in South Boston, and in
