SOLDIERS HOME;
GIRLS DISMISSED
First Girls Retire on Middle
Division Because of Re-
turned Employees

Soldiers are returning in such
numbers to the Middle Division serv-
ice that it has been found necessary
to dismiss ten girls who had been
employed during the emergency in
the Middle Division freight train
masters office. Thus far no surplus
has been created on the Philadelphia
Division by such returning employees
and no dismissals of girls have yet
been made.
The dismissal of the girls on the
Middle Division is not to be consid-
cred at this time as the forerunner
of a general suspension of the girls,
it is explained, but it will be found
necessary from time to time to dis
miss some girls who were employed
during the emergency But many of
these girls will be retained perma-
nently, it is explained. The general
installation of the eight-hour system
has created many new positions,
some of which will be filled by girls.
Officials of the several divisions of
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad explain
that positions, just as good or better.
await their returned soldier en-
ployes. Some girls are now filing
these positions. When the men re-
turn efforts will be made to find
other positions for the girls, but
where this is Impossible they will
have to be dismissed from service.

100000 Soldiers
of France Killed

Twenty-Five per cent. of the
French army has been killed in bat
tie, another rs per cent. have been
seriously wounded. This terrible
sacrifice of half it's magnificent army
has been freely made by heroic
France that liberty might live. The
world, and especially America, owes
France an enormous debt of graft
tude, not only for this, but for the
discovery by French peasants of a
perfect remedy for stomach, liver
and intestinal disorders which is re-
ported to have saved many thou
sands of lives the world over, pre-
vented innumerable surgical opera
tions and alleviated incalculable suf-
fering. George II. Mayr, n leading
Chicago Chemist, imports the ingre
dients and sells this remedy in Amer
lea under the name of Mayr's Won
derful Remedy. 1t is a simple, HARM
less preparation that removes the
catarrhal mucous from the intestinal
tract and allays the inflammation
which causes practically all stomach,
liver and intestinal ailments. includ-
ing appendicitis. One dose will con-
vince or money refunded.

All North France
Ruins, Says Hoover

Washington, Jan. Tn an out
spoken cablegram received here, Her
bert Hoover, Food Administrators
and chairman of the Commission TOR
Relief in Belgium, tells of the wan
ton destruction wrought by German
armies in parts of Northern France
which they occupied, and states that
the work of rehabilitationo has been
made so difficult by these outrages
that it will be impossible for the
commission, as it had hoped, to turn
over the task at this time to the
French government.
"The entire industrial life of the
region has been destroyed by the
Germans" Mr.. Hoover states. There
is scarcely a single factory that can
be operated without a very large
portion of new equipment. The coal
mines are totally destroyed and the
network of railways in this region
has been rendered almost hopeless Of
reconstruction for many m onths.
"The German method of destruc-
tion was to bend every single rail by
exploding n hand grenade under it,
rendering it useless for all time. The
Grand Canal du Nord, which con-
meets this section of France with the
Belgium canal system and is the ma
tural entrepot for goods for Antwerp
or Rotterdam, was itself practically
the fighting line for months and is
so badly destroyed that it will take
fully ayear for it's complete recon-
struction.'
Discussing general conditions, Mr.
Hoover states that the relief is based
upon the allowance of food to the
valie of about thirty-fve cents a
day to the destitute, those having any
resources or employment being re-
quired to pay. The whole extent of
destitution is not yet known, he as
serts, but appears to include fully
sixty per cent, of the people.

YANK VETERANS
GET CHANCE AT
NEW VOCATIONS
Offices in Calder Building
Will Furnish Vocational
Training

That every man of this vicinity
who has been wounded in the United
States service may be better fitted to
achieve as high a degree of success
in life as possible, offices have been
opened in this city to provide means
for the furnishing of vocational edu-
cations to such men. These new of
fees are in room 20S of the Calder
building and are in charge of c. j. C.
Clarke, former commandant of vari-
Gus rehabilitation camps in the
United States. 1t is being conduct
ed under the direction of the Fed
oral Board of Vocational Education.
In their haste to get home after
discharge men often leave before the
officers obtain their addresses. Thus
all trace of such men is sometimes
lost. The wounded men will be To-
Gated, Mr.. Clarke explains, but ID is
mainly to reach the other men that
the bureau has been opened.
The cooperation of Harrisburg's
largest clubs and societies is greatly
desired by this board. This move
n'ent, which has been started nation
ally. is meeting with favor every
where. 1t is probable several field
educators will be stationed in Penn
sylvania. II will be their duty to get
IN communication WITH eaCn anu eN-
cry disabled soldier whether he al
ready has succeeded in getting
good position or not.
Commenting on the purpose of the
board, Mr. Clarke said:
what we want to do is to get
each and every wounded man who
has returned. In case he has spent
three years in high school and has
an ambition to become a professional
man, we will send him to high school
for one year and then to college for
four years. All the time he is in
school and college he will have his
tuition paid and receive $65 per
month in addition.
For the man who is an illterate,
in case he shows signs of intelli
gence, a private tutor will be gotten
and the man will be given every op-
portunity to make good. This will
not cost the soldier one penny. He
will also be paid $50 a month.
THE same thing applies for the
soldier who has been injured so seri-
ously he feels he cannot get a posi-
ton. For example, If a soldier came
back here with both legs shot off
and one hand missing, he would be
sent to school where he could learn
to operate some kind of a machine
which only requires one hand"

Criminal Court Hearing
Shows Necessity For a
Matron in Police Dept.

That there is an urgent need for
a police matron in Harrisburg was
again shown in court yesterday af-
ternoon during a habeas corpus pro-
ceeding started in order to have May
Holmes released from Jail where she
is being held for court because she
was unable to furnish bail when held
on larceny charge.
Counsel for the woman declared
that the evidence given at the hear
ing at the Mayors office was insuffi-
cient to hold her and that Gay New
man, the other woman arrested in
the same case had been implicated,
but the witnesseses did not include
his client.
Cross ss-eXamination of witnesses
called before the court showed that
the Newman woman had not been
reached the night she was arrested,
but was searched later and no money
was found on her She .and May
Holmes are charged with taking
500 from Steve Magaro.
The court finally reduced the bail
required for the latter to 500 pend

JIMMY HODGES

Popular Comedian at Majes-

Jimmy Hodges played his way into
the affections of Harrisburgers last
night when he and his big company
presented The Flirt' at the Majes-

the playhouse to see something good
in the musical comedy line, and no
one was disappointed. Good scenery,
pretty girls and one of the best CO.

people of this city.
To be born a flirt, always be a

of laughable incidents which, with

Grows in No Mans Land" seemed to
make the biggest hit last night. A
feature of this song was the singing
of the verses by one of the company
attired as a soldier in one of the
boxes. All the audience soon took
up the chorus either by singing or
whistling.
