AN INDEPENDENT FAMILY NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO LIIERATLRE, LOCAL AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE VOL. XXVII NAZARETH, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1918 NO. 27 jIBJIOIUAIi EXKKCISES AT MOOKKSTOWN CK.MJCTKUY. Memorial exercises held at the Moorestown cemetery Sunday after¬ noon, attracted a crowd o£ nearly 4,- OOO people. Many of them came by automobile it being estimated that over 30U autos were parked in the grove aud around the church. Colo¬ nel Harry Smith, of Alleutown, was BcheUult'd to bo the priucipal speaker of the Uay, but in tho morning he sent word that it would bo impossi¬ ble tor llim to be present, I'rofossor Frauk liuth, of Nazarelh, was then secured to tako Colonel Smith's place. He delivered a stirring patri¬ otic address. Thu Na/.aieth Coruet Band render¬ ed sacrt-'d and patriotic music duriug the atteruoou. Uev. Moses Joues, of Lebanon, also delivered an address, aud Rev.

Announced at Camp Ulx Only Leaves of Absence WIII Be Given French Military Band Here .MA.W orroKTUMTlE.S Ol'E.V rOK SPECIALISTS IN WAU DEl'AKTMENT. There is a list of 137 occupations where the demand for men in the War Department constantly ex¬ ceeds tho supply. A pressing need exists in the Army mules, and before all future needs are met a recruiting campaign may become necessary. No difficulty has been experienced in getting men who can buy and handle horses, but black-smiths are scarce. There is a constane demand for butchers, and cooks are greatly need¬ ed. In several- technical branches particularly the engineers, men for the higher positions are plentiful but tho workers for tho ranks are Bcarce. Experienced mechanics, es¬ pecially those familiar with automo¬ biles are alwaya in demand. Moro interpreters than can be used have applied for positions with the War Department, and applica¬ tions for commissions as Army chap¬ lains are also in excess of the need. The excess totals thousands in each case. Clerks for general work are plentiful, but there is demand for specialists. At present there ia a surplus of dentists and pharmacists. '¦ Many farmers in the recent draft, ' who have asked for exemption on tho 'ground that their labor is essential to the growing and harvesting ot crops at home will learn through an order of the War Department cited I by Major General Scolt that indefi- i nito furloughs will not be granted for the purpose of engaging in agri¬ cultural pursuits. This means that while favorable action may bo taken ujion worthy claims of men needed in i farming operations this year, the far¬ mers given furloughs must be pre¬ pared to return to their organiza¬ tions at any time. "All furloughs iu this class", the order reads, "will l)e recalled and the ' men ordered to their organizations when lho latter havo preparatory or¬ ders for duty overseas." Soldiers who may be indefinitely relieved from military duty without pay or allowance to engage in indus- ¦ tries essential to the prosecution of : the war are uot, hereafter, to be rec- j ognized as civilians, but will be re- i garded as transferred to the arm of I tho service, unassigned in which they are serving at the time of transfer. [ Hundreds of recent recruits who may bo attached to infantry or artil¬ lery organizations, under an order is¬ sued Tuesday will be permitted to ask for transfer to the Medical Corps providing they are physically, medi¬ cal students, dentists, dental studeu- j ts, pharmacists or osteopaths. ! The famous French Military Band, ; now touring the United States, will make a three-day visit to Camp Dlx^ will be given at 6:30 o'clock each evening of Its stay. The biggest "little ole swlmmln hole" in the State will be opened for tho soldiers next week. Sol Metz- ger, former football coach at the University of Pennsylvania, and now camp athletic director for the y. M. C. A., haa arranged for the use of Hargrove's Ice pond between the camp and Brown's .Mills. The pond ; Is being cleared of brush and weedes, leaving a clear, sandy bottom and it is flooded by water of tested purity.

The Third Street Theatre, has scored tho scoop ot years in motion pictures by obtaining "Over the Top" the Vitagraph special in which Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey author of the famous book, appeared in the leading role "Over the Top", will be shown at the Third Street Theatre, Easton, every day during the week ot Juno 10. It follows closely the events ot Empsey's remarkable book and pre¬ sents the struggle in France in sharp silhouette without auy attempt at showing the major operations. Through the exi)ert knowledge of Sergent Empey gained through eigh¬ teen nionths of service with tho Bri¬ tish expedisionary forces In France, Uench ngUling is revealed with great faithfulness, and tho spectator gets all ot the thrill of watching trench raids without any of the horrors of slaughter Not only is "Over tho Top" the greatest photoplay in the history ot motion photography, but it is the one story of lifo in lho trenches that has touched every responsive soul In America CELEBKATED THEIR SLVTEENTH ANNIVERSARY, The Methodists ot Wind Gap last Sunday fittingly and enthusiastically celebrated the 16th anniversary ot their church.

A committee on the Public Infor¬ mation representative in Loudon says There are uo better sportsmen ia : the world than the allied airmen, and American aviators uow Ughtiug iu Kurope always play a fair game, as Ihey learu it from the allies. F. 1*. .Magouu, a former Harvard stu¬ dent, liow a member of the Royal j air force receut wouuded, teella I how the lives of Germau observers escaping from balloous have been spared. "We caught three Hun balloons a- bove the allied grounds in a mist, which'prevented their gunners see¬ ing us," said he. "It was a cinch. , Vou should have seen them huatlo I out thoir parachutes and abandon tlie ballous. As they came falling dowu through the air we circled about closely but, of course, didn't open lire, as that's agaiust the rules of the game. As soon as they touch¬ ed luu ground they took over like rabbits. -Magoun is the only American in his siiuadron, haviug joined in Feb¬ ruary of iast year. Uu has bagged live Germuu planes. While Carry- I ing bombs for low attack Iu the ro- ' cent offensive he received a bullet ' through his left arm, but managed to return to his owu lines. Magoun tells of a companion iu his 8(;uadron who had oue of the luckiest escapes (luring the war. He was put out of action a 1,000 feet in the air when a bullet perforated his gasoline taak. lie wus rendered unconscious by tha fumes and his machine took a nose dive to the earth, but he escaped without a scratch. I A section of the Royal air force : operating in the Ypres salient has lost its only American member, who liad been with the squadron only 10 days wheu he weut on a bombing raid at low elevation. He was hit by a machine-gun bullot aud his piano fell in flames. He waa taken prisoner.

Memorial exercises held at the Moorestown cemetery Sunday after¬ noon, attracted a crowd o£ nearly 4,- OOO people. Many of them came by automobile it being estimated that over 30U autos were parked in the grove aud around the church. Colo¬ nel Harry Smith, of Alleutown, was BcheUult'd to bo the priucipal speaker of the Uay, but in tho morning he sent word that it would bo impossi¬ ble tor llim to be present, I'rofossor Frauk liuth, of Nazarelh, was then secured to tako Colonel Smith's place. He delivered a stirring patri¬ otic address. Thu Na/.aieth Coruet Band render¬ ed sacrt-'d and patriotic music duriug the atteruoou. Uev. Moses Joues, of Lebanon, also delivered an address, aud Rev.

Announced at Camp Ulx Only Leaves of Absence WIII Be Given French Military Band Here .MA.W orroKTUMTlE.S Ol'E.V rOK SPECIALISTS IN WAU DEl'AKTMENT. There is a list of 137 occupations where the demand for men in the War Department constantly ex¬ ceeds tho supply. A pressing need exists in the Army mules, and before all future needs are met a recruiting campaign may become necessary. No difficulty has been experienced in getting men who can buy and handle horses, but black-smiths are scarce. There is a constane demand for butchers, and cooks are greatly need¬ ed. In several- technical branches particularly the engineers, men for the higher positions are plentiful but tho workers for tho ranks are Bcarce. Experienced mechanics, es¬ pecially those familiar with automo¬ biles are alwaya in demand. Moro interpreters than can be used have applied for positions with the War Department, and applica¬ tions for commissions as Army chap¬ lains are also in excess of the need. The excess totals thousands in each case. Clerks for general work are plentiful, but there is demand for specialists. At present there ia a surplus of dentists and pharmacists. '¦ Many farmers in the recent draft, ' who have asked for exemption on tho 'ground that their labor is essential to the growing and harvesting ot crops at home will learn through an order of the War Department cited I by Major General Scolt that indefi- i nito furloughs will not be granted for the purpose of engaging in agri¬ cultural pursuits. This means that while favorable action may bo taken ujion worthy claims of men needed in i farming operations this year, the far¬ mers given furloughs must be pre¬ pared to return to their organiza¬ tions at any time. "All furloughs iu this class", the order reads, "will l)e recalled and the ' men ordered to their organizations when lho latter havo preparatory or¬ ders for duty overseas." Soldiers who may be indefinitely relieved from military duty without pay or allowance to engage in indus- ¦ tries essential to the prosecution of : the war are uot, hereafter, to be rec- j ognized as civilians, but will be re- i garded as transferred to the arm of I tho service, unassigned in which they are serving at the time of transfer. [ Hundreds of recent recruits who may bo attached to infantry or artil¬ lery organizations, under an order is¬ sued Tuesday will be permitted to ask for transfer to the Medical Corps providing they are physically, medi¬ cal students, dentists, dental studeu- j ts, pharmacists or osteopaths. ! The famous French Military Band, ; now touring the United States, will make a three-day visit to Camp Dlx^ will be given at 6:30 o'clock each evening of Its stay. The biggest "little ole swlmmln hole" in the State will be opened for tho soldiers next week.

A., haa arranged for the use of Hargrove's Ice pond between the camp and Brown's .Mills. The pond ; Is being cleared of brush and weedes, leaving a clear, sandy bottom and it is flooded by water of tested purity.

It follows closely the events ot Empsey's remarkable book and pre¬ sents the struggle in France in sharp silhouette without auy attempt at showing the major operations. Through the exi)ert knowledge of Sergent Empey gained through eigh¬ teen nionths of service with tho Bri¬ tish expedisionary forces In France, Uench ngUling is revealed with great faithfulness, and tho spectator gets all ot the thrill of watching trench raids without any of the horrors of slaughter Not only is "Over tho Top" the greatest photoplay in the history ot motion photography, but it is the one story of lifo in lho trenches that has touched every responsive soul In America CELEBKATED THEIR SLVTEENTH ANNIVERSARY, The Methodists ot Wind Gap last Sunday fittingly and enthusiastically celebrated the 16th anniversary ot their church.

"It was a cinch. , Vou should have seen them huatlo I out thoir parachutes and abandon tlie ballous. As they came falling dowu through the air we circled about closely but, of course, didn't open lire, as that's agaiust the rules of the game. As soon as they touch¬ ed luu ground they took over like rabbits. -Magoun is the only American in his siiuadron, haviug joined in Feb¬ ruary of iast year. Uu has bagged live Germuu planes. While Carry- I ing bombs for low attack Iu the ro- ' cent offensive he received a bullet ' through his left arm, but managed to return to his owu lines.
