RAILROAD COMPANY AFTER MALICIOUS-
LY INCLINED INDIVIDUALS.—When the
Pennsylvania railroad company two years |
ago improved the Bald Eagle Valley road
from Mt. Eagle to Howard they built two
subways at the former place in order to
obviate the danger of grade crossinze |
The old grade crossings were then fenced
with wire fencing. It appears that to
cross through one of the subways in-
creased the distance about 160 feet over
the old grade crossing and this some res-
idents of that village strongly objected
to. In fact, it is alleged, that on one or
two occasions the wire fencing was cut
down and that some one maliciously in-
clined placed dynamite upon the track
and on another occasion a’ Vulcan rail
creeper. Fortunately both were found
before any damage was done.
The WATCHMAN this week got infor-
mation of the fact that since May 14th,
the railroad company has had three de-
tectives on the job and they have glean-
ed some very damaging evidence against
certain parties living in that vicinity.
One of the detectives boarded at How-
ard and worked as an ordinary laborer.
Another boarded at Curtin, and likewise
did days’ work in that neighborhood.
The third man was at Mt. Eagle, having
appeared there as the result of an auto-
mobile accident, and his supposed mis-
haps kept him there until his work was
completed.
So far as the WATCHMAN has been able
to learn the railroad company does not
intend bringing any immediate prosecu-
tions or make any arrests, but if its
property is again interfered with at that
place, in any way whatever, arrests will
follow immediately, and the information
gathered by the detectives, it is alleged,
will be sufficient to send a ‘number of
men on long terms to prison. In so do-
ing the railroad company is not only act-
ing in self-protection so far as its own
property is concerned, but also safe-
guarding the lives of the hundreds of
passengers it transports over that line
every day.

i ters in reports which “Berlin hears”
the WATCHMAN Office.
Working to Advance Peace.
The Impression Is Growing That Ger-
many Would Welcome a Movement
For Peace From a Neutral Power.
Reports that the United States had
in various neutral countries to make
peace in Europe were said by Presi-
dent Wilson to be untrue.
The president said the Washington
government had done everything that
legitimately could be done to encour-
age any movement that might lead to
peace or an accommodation of inter-
ests in Europe.
The president said Colonel House,
who recently: investigated peace pros-
pects in Europe, had not been sent for
by him, but he expected to see the
colonel soon. At present Colonel
House is visiting a daughter in Mas-
sachusetts.
The impression is growing in Wash-
ington that Germany is disposed to
look with favor on a tangible move-
of the neutral powers,
- The attitude of the more moderate
of the German newspapers toward the
latest Wilson note, the sending of Dr.
Anton Meyer-Gerhard to Berlin as the
special envoy of Ambassador von
Bernstorff, the constant springing up
of peace suggestions in various quar-
from outside, all point tc a movement
believed by some officials to have its
source in Germany looking to the
time when peace may be more openly
discussed among the powers now at
war. :
It is believed that German officials
are pleased witr President Wilson's
latest note because they think it af-
fords opportunity for further discus-
sion, in the course of which other
principles involved in the maritime
war with Great Britain may be linked
with the submarine issue raised by
the United States. .
All information in official quarters
tends to indicate that a positive yes
or no answer to the president's de-
mands is hardly to be expected from
Berlin. According to this, it has al
ways been the intention of the Ger-
man government to make the discus:
ion with the United States the ve-
hicle for conveying to the world her
propaganda for changing the rules of
maritime warfare in such a way as to
decrease the value of a sea power
such as Great Britain is now exercis-
ing.
President Wilson was asked just
what the changes were to which Wil !
liam Jennings Bryan referred as hav-
ing been made in the note to Ger-
many after his resignation as secre- |
tary of state had been accepted, but
the president felt it was best for him
not to discuss the resignation or other !
questions connected with it.
~ GERMANS FORCED BACK
British Take Positions In Belgium
Along Front of 1000 Yards.
Sir John French, commander-in- |
chief of the British forees on the Con-
tinent, reports that the British have
captured the German positions to the
north of Hooge for a distance of 1000
yards, and that they captured and then
Jost a line of German trenches at Fes-
tubert. ;
Hooge is three miles east of Ypres
and Festubert is northwest of La
Bassee.
General French’s statement is
follows:
“Barly Wednesday morning in the
neighborhood of Ypres we successfully
attacked the enemy’s positions north
of Hooge. We occupied the whole of
his first line of trenches on a front of
1000 yards and also parts of his sec-
ond line.
“By noon 157 prisoners had passed
to our rear. The German counter at-
tack has been repulsed with heavy
losses.
“Wednesday evening we captured
the German front line trenches east
of Festubert on a mile front, but fail-
ed to hold ,them during the night
against strong counter attacks.
“The enemy exploded five mines on
different parts of our frout, but none
of these caused any damage to our
trenches and only one caused any |
casualties.”
