Altoona, Pa., June 6.—George W.
Creighton, of Altoona, general super-
intendent of the Pennsylvania rail-
road divisions between Altoona an
Philadelphia, died in a Philadelphia
hospital on Saturday after a long ill-
ness, aged 61 years. Mr. Creighton
was widely known in railroad circles,
and had many friends in Bellefonte.
The remains were taken to Altoona
where burial was made on Tuesday.
George W. Creighton was born in
Philadelphia, June 22, 1856, and enter-
ed the railroad service January 18,
1878, as a rodman in the engineering
department of the Madiro & Mamore
road in Brazil, a pioneer railroad en-
terprise in which many Pennsylvan-
jans had a part. He continued in the
service of that company for one year,
after which he became connected with
the Pennsylvania railroad. In 1895
he advanced to superintendent of the
middle division of the P. R. R. and in
1899 became general superintendent
of the Northern Central and the Phil-
adelphia & Erie. He was made gen-
eral superintendent’ of the Buffalo and
Allegheny Valley division of the
Pennsylvania and three years later
he became general superintendent of
the Pennsylvania railroad. Four ycas
later, when the system in Pennsylva-
nia was divided into the Eastern and
Western Pennsylvania divisions, he
was made general superintendent of
the Eastern division. The Eastern
division comprises the Middle, Phil-
adelphia, Cresson, Tyrone, Bedford
Schuylkill and Bellwood divisions.

Some time ago Orlow Kent, a
student at the Bellefonte Academy,
left Bellefonte to go to his home in
Binghamton, N. Y., to see his broth-
er who was shortly to sail for France
as a member of an ambulance unit.
A few days after his arrival there he
telegraphed headmaster James R.
Hughes that he would not return to
school as he intended going with his
brother to France, and it is just pos-
sible that both young men have al-
ready arrived in that country.

What the Allies Mission Accomplish-
ed Here.
In the six weeks spent by the British
and French war missions in the United
States the following are among the
most important items of business trans-
acted :
ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED.
Loans to the allies already totalling
$745,000,000.
Decision reached to send a division of
United States regulars, a regiment of
marines and nine regiments of engi-
neers under command of Major General
Pershing for service in France as soon
as possible.
A joint allied buying commission de-
cided upon, with headquarters in
Washington.
Full co-operation with the British
blockade system, including employment
of United States consuls in Holland and
Scandinavia to oversee the rationing of
those countries. A definite understand-
ing between the United States and Can-
ada for controlling the wheat market.
Expediting of the American shipbuild-
ing program, consequent upon the ad-
mission that submarine losses in April
approached the fatality line, The turn-
ing over of seized German ships to the
TENTATIVELY DECIDED.
Legislation dealing with embargo,
trading with the enemy, control of car-
go space (including prohibition of ex-
port of luxuries), etc., to be asked from
congress.
Legislation to be asked for providing
for a system of joint food control with
the allies, particularly Canada.
DIPLOMATIC ARRANGEMENTS.
The United States to give the allies
preferential treatment in commerce.
The United States to act harmonious-
ly with the allies for the dismember-
ment of Austria-Hungary, this includ-
ing the constitution of an independent
Bohemia and the restoration of Rou-
mania, Servia and Montenegro, with
Transylvania to be given to Roumania,
Bosnia and Herzegovina to Servia, and
the Trentino and Trieste to Italy. Har-
monious action to be taken by the allies
to impress Russia with the prospects of
future world peace afforded by this pro-
gram. The difficulties in the way of an
independent Poland were impressed
upon the president.
President Wilson's scheme for a
league of nations is left for future dis-
~ussion.

Government Plans to Supply Army and
Navy Needs. :
The secret of making optical glass
of the sort used in fieldglasses, range
finders and periscopes, a product for
which this country hitherto has been
dependent on Germany, has been dis-
covered by the bureau of standards.
In announcing the discovery Secreta-
ry Redfield said it was one of ‘‘essen-
tial importance to the military serv-
ices of the nation.” Experts of the
bureau have been at work for two
years and a half trying to find the
right process, and additions will be
made to the bureau equipment immedi-
ately so that the product ean be sup-
plied in sufficient quantities to meet
the government's requirements.
DIVORCEES NOT DEPENDENTS.
Even Payment of Alimony Won't Bar
Man From Draft.
A divorced wife, even though draw-
ing alimony, will not be considered as
a dependent relative under the selec-
tive draft army registration law, ac-
cording to a statement by Brigadier
General Crowder, provost marshal gen-
erag of the army.
Information with regard to whether
the individual has a wife now is what
is desired. The fact that he is a
widower or has been divorced has no
bearing on the question.

battles and an inventor's ups ané

: The custom of lifting the hat
is traced back to the age of chivalry,
when it was customary for knights
never to appear in public except in
armor. It became a custom, however,
for a knight, upon entering an assem-
bly of friends, to remove his helmet,
signifying, “I am safe in the presence
of friends.” The age of chivalry pass-
ed away with the fifteenth century,
but among the many acts of courtesy
which can be traced to its influence
none is more direct in its origin than
the lifting of the hat to acknowledge
the presence of a friend.

STEAMER SANK SUBMARINE
American Vessel Sent U-Boat to Bot-
tom After Running Fight.
Washington, June 5.—In an hour
and a half running fight between an
armed American merchantman and a
German submarine, the merchantman
sank the submersible, according to of -
ficial advices to the State Department
to-day.
The submarine, flying no flag, fired
thirty-five shots and the steamer but
twenty-five. According to State De-
partment reports the last shots piere-
ed the U boat, which reared out of the
water, stern up, standing upright for
a few seconds, then disappeared from
sight.
The steamer’s captain and the com-
mander of the armed guard believe
the submarine was sunk and the navy
department is convinced that in this
case there is no question the U boat
was bagged.
The State Department official an-
nouncement of the engagement said:
“The Department of State is advis-
ed by telegraph of an engagement be-
tween an armed steamer and a sub-
marine. The guns of the steamer
were manned by an American naval
crew. The submarine was first seen
at about seven thousand yards. She
had a six-inch gun forward and anoth-
er aft. She flew no flag. Upon sight
of the submarine, the steamer hoisted
the American flag and waited ten
minutes. As the submarine approach-
ed the steamer fired. The submarine
responded. The steamer kept a speed
that would permit the submarine to
come within range. Then followed a
fight lasting fer an hour and a half.
“The submarine came to a distance
of about 2,300 yards. By that time
the submarine had fired thirty-five
shots and the steamer twenty-five. The
last shot of the steamer apparently
struck the submarine, which raised
clear out of the water and stood stern
end up for a few seconds. Then she
disappeared. The captain of the
steamer and the commander of the
guard believe that the submarine was
sunk. The steamer suffered no dam-
age.

State Highway Appropriations to be
Reduced.
Harrisburg, June 5.—The Appro-
priations committees of the Senate
and the House of Representatives
have agreed upon the appropriations
for the State Highway Department
for the next two years, with the re-
sult that a substantial reduction in
the original budget is contemplated.
As introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives, the bill made an appropri-
ation of twelve million dollars for
state highway construction in town-
ships and two million dollars for state
highway construction in boroughs.
These items have been reduced to sev-
en million dollars for the construc-
tion of state highways in boroughs
and townships.
The State-aid appropriation of
three million dollars, as originally
planned, has been reduced to two
million dollars.
The item of five hundred thousand
dollars for the purpose of condemna-
tion of turnpikes remains unchanged
and the township bonus for earth
roads, which is disbursed through the
State Highway Department, is sub- |
Sontally the same as in the original
iil, .
State Highway Commissioner
Frank B. Black, says: “The Depart-
ment is opposed to the building of
any other than high types of perma-
nent highways, and we are inclined
to believe that concrete should enter
into the foundation of every road, as
in the construction of the more per-
manent types of wearing surfaces,
such as brick, concrete and bitumin-
ous concrete, it is very essential that
the foundation be of an unyielding
character, such as concrete. I think
that the construction of waterbound
macadam roads should be abandoned
entirely, especially on main arterial
routes, on account of the heavy main-
tenance expense.”
In the United Kingdom there
are almost 2,225,000 men and women
engaged in making cannon and pro-
jectiles. The supply in some lines,
such as the eighteen-pounder field
gun, is now greater than the need,
and production is slackening. If the
war is not won, lack of munitions will
not longer be a valid excuse.
