Henry Keller.) Hdqrs. Troop L, 1st Pa. Cav. Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga. Friday, October 27th, 1917. | Editor “Democratic Watchman:” One week at the arsenal has been a | most glorious one for us. Tomorrow evening we return once more to Camp, but we surely feel sorry about leav- ing the arsenal. We could hardly re- alize that we were in Georgia. For the last five weeks we have seen and lived upon the sand, and we felt that we had once more touched Pennsylvania soil when we found the sod—real green grass—at the arsenal. To have that springy touch once more under our feet was wonderful and our joy was indescribable. Our work surely brought home to us the fact that our country is at war. We carried Colt 45 automatics while on duty and we were ordered to use them if the necessity arose. Natur- ally several amusing incidents occur- red, but in every case it showed that our men were on their job. A very important post—the powder house post—was favored one day by having Trooper John Steele as guard. Here no one may approach the powder house closer than ten feet. One of the arsenal employees was digging yams on this post and Trooper Steele felt that the man was getting too close, so he gave the order to “Halt!” “Must I halt,” asked the workman, and “Pikey” replied, “well, you don’t have to halt but if you come any closer I have to shoot.” The man halted. Trooper Charles McC. Scott also set the arsenal in an uproar by stop- ping a number of men from going to work, and one of the darkies ably de- scribed his sentiments when speaking to a friend about it. “Did I halt? Why nigger, that man carried a smoke gun two feet long.” And so, although the guard trick of four hours at a stretch seemed pretty long at times, the monotony was often broken by such amusing in- cidents, and when we were not actu- ally on guard our time was pretty much our own. Our officers were very liberal with the passes into town and many of us went in at every opportunity, while nearby was the Partridge Inn, where we could buy real sodas and such things that can- not be bottled and sent out to the can- | teens. Tuesday afternoon was a holiday i for us and many of the boys went in- ico, where he will make his future ! to town to see Barnum and Bailey's home. Mr. Williams has been section | C1YCUS. It was fine but many of the foreman on the railroad at Curtin the | Poys were afraid that the manage- past twenty-four years, decided he would try the southwest awhile. ——J. B. Hutchinson, the new su- perintendent of the Tyrone division of the Pennsylvania railroad, with trainmaster R. B. Freeman and a number of other railroad men, made a trip over the Bald Eagle Valley road last Saturday and spent a half hour or so in Bellefonte. have a special meeting in their hall in the Eagle block on Tuesday even- ing, November 6th, at 8 o’clock, when Hon. John B. Graybill, past grand chief, will be present and make an address. All members of the Cas- tle and their friends are invited to at- tend. Refreshments will be served. Last Friday night Mr. and Mrs. Abe Jackson had a possum roast as a farewell for the two cvlored na- tional army men and during the even- ing Harry Thompson made his ap- pearance and later got into an alter- cation with Joe Baker. Razors were used and Baker was cut on the hand. Thompson was arrested and spent one night in jail, getting out on Saturday morning by paying the fine and costs, amounting to about forty dollars. ——Frank Kokan, who two years ago was convicted of selling liquor without a license at the Whiterock quarries and left go with a sus- pended sentence, was arrested again on Monday on the same charge. Tuesday morning he plead guilty before ’Squire Woodring and was fined one hundred dollars and costs ‘and given the alternative of leaving the county or going to jail and he chose the former, leaving on Wednes- day for Allegheny county. ——John B. Derstine, a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Derstine, is now serving in the United States navy and has made one trip to France and return in the Vaterland, one of the big prize ships of the German govern- ment seized by the United States and into “a transport. The young sailor alleges that the ship was torpedoed two days out from France but landed her complement of soldiers and cargo of ammunitions safe at a port “somewhere in France.” Mae Marsh, in “Polly of the Circus,” will be the Wednesday after- noon and evening attraction at the Scenic next week. This is the first Goldwyn picture and has been releas- ed but a short time. It is said to be a fine picture and everybody who read the very clever story of “Polly of the * Circus” when it was published in the “Watchman” a year or two ago will want to see this picture. On Tuesday afternoon and evening dainty Mar- guerite Clark will play the tomboy to perfection in a fine picture called “The Amazons.” Picture lovers should not miss either of the above. and finally ment would kidnap The Bellefonte Castle No. 353!

Wednesday was Liberty Bond day. i A holiday was declared throughout ' the division but the joy was spoiled { by a second order allowing no one out- | ' side of camp. So we had an entire | day with nothing to do. But it did not take us long to work up a pro-' (gram. All morning we cleaned up ‘our camp. When it was in the prop- er shape mess was quite ready. After i eating we staged a circus of our own. | | Few people can realize how well Trooper Bender held down the job of ringmaster, and the boys all perform- ed their parts reasonably well. All! kinds of daring stunts were practiced ' i and Trooper “Piney” Devine was vot- ed the best performer, although many . of the boys gave him a close race. | The most spectacular event was pre- sented by Corporal Robison when, “by his own request,” he showed us how to dismount from a bucking horse | .while galloping. Fortunately no bones were broken. | After staging a “Rescue for the In- ! dians,” in which Sergt. Schreffler and “Piney” Devine played the leads, and | running several races, we closed the’ festivities with a ball game. Troop | L played a picked team from the Troop and several dollars were col- lected as gate money. Once again the Troop L team was victorious. So | all in all our holiday was a great suc- cess. . Sergt. Yeager and Trooper Scott. ! made quite a figure in police court ‘the other day. The Sergt. was run over by a Ford and the man wanted | damages. Trooper Scott was witness ! and the case was settled amicably, but | | both the men in question have great tales to tell as to how a southern po- | ! lice court is managed. { The camp has seemed more home- like than usual this week for we have | been favored with visits from several ; Bellefonters. Col. Reynolds have been here for a few ‘days and likewise the writer's moth- ‘er has been down. To say that we | were glad to see them would be put- | ting it mildly, and since mother has | been here I wonder now how I have found the time to write even this let- ter. We have all come to feel that the | cavalry regiment is indeed a most im- portant unit at Camp Hancock. What the newspapers and division would do for gossip and rumors were we not here no one can know. We hear every thing and believe none of it, but we know that the new physical examinations are going on daily. The surgeons are now working in the cav- alry and in a few days Troop L will get this new, and I suppose final physical test. But we feel that we are all in fine condition and so will lose no one. . We have had several disappoint- ments in the sunniness of the “sun- | and Mrs. W. F.! . National Woman's ES EE ESTES ny South.” This week a cold wave overtook us and we experienced weather that we never hoped to see ' down here—at least this time of year. The days have been wonderful, al- though some have been somewhat’ ; chilly. But the nights were terrible "and on Wednesday we broke ice in the . watering trough in order to water | ‘our horses that morning. month of October! But the cold snap lasted but a few days and it surely helped to ripen the persimmons. Many of the boys have now become fairly well acquainted in Augusta and consequently we have been invited to many charming dances, which surely help to enliven the monotony of the military training. We can hardly re- | alize that over six weeks have passed since we left Bellefonte, but we have! surely made good use of the time. This week we start once more with | our training and although we surely are sorry to leave the arsenal we will be glad to get back to work once again. All the boys join me in wishing every one the best of health and hap- | piness and we all look forward to the’ day the “Watchman” arrives bring- ing us news of home. that all is well in Bellefonte. (Col. and Mrs. W. Fred Reynolds have yeturned from their trip to Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga., and while there they made it a personal affair to see practically every soldier from Centre county. For the infor- mation of parents having boys at the camp the Colonel says that they are well located, have everything a sol- dier needs, are all well and in good spirits, the only disheartening feature being the breaking up of the cavalry regiment. But this will pass away when the men get properly settled in the new units to which they may be assigned.—Editor.) Suffragists Held District Convention at Lock Haven. Representatives of Suffrage organ- {izations in the Fifteenth and Twenty- first Congressional districts composed of the counties of Clinton, Lycoming, Potter and Tioga, and Centre, Clear- field, Cameron and McKean, met in a group convention at the home of Mrs. R. S. Quigley, in Lock Haven, last Thursday. Mrs. Robert Mills Beach, chairman of Centre county and member of the State board, presided. An assessment of two dollars was made on each county body to cover the expenses of the convention. The following dis- trict officers were elected: Chairmen, Mrs. R. S. Quigley, of Clinton county; Mrs. Harry Keller, of Centre county, and Mrs. M. C. Burt, of Potter coun- ty. Vice chairman, Mrs. .Benn, of Potter county; secretary, Miss Smith, of Lycoming county; treasurer, Miss Katherine Potter, of Tioga county. Delegates to the national conven- tion to be held at Washington, D. C,, December 10th to 16th, inclusive, were elected as follows: Mrs. R. S. Quigley, of Lock Haven; Miss Henri- | ‘etta B. Lyons, of Williamsport. Al- | ternates, Mrs. Clarence Davis, of Ti- oga county, and Mrs. McCoy, of Mec- . Kean county. Resolutions were adopted condemn- ing in no uncertain terms the women i who, posing as Suffragists, have per- sisted in picketing the White House to the embarrassment of the adminis- ‘tration and thus doing injury to the national organization as well as the cause in general. The resolutions follow: Whereas, In spite of the fact that the Suffrage association, and its various State and county branch- es, have repeatedly repudiated the pick- eting at Washington and repeatedly ex- plained that the small group of women carrying on this and similar activities are in no way connected with the nation- al organization, there still exists in the public mind such misconceptions as to bring injury to the cause of Woman Suf- frage and to the efforts of the women, who, subordinating their own cause, are turning their energies and organizations to the service of the Nation; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the Woman's Suf- frage party of the 15th and 21st Congres- | sional districts of the State of Pennsylva- nia, in session at Lock Haven October 26th, 1917, again repeat this explanation, and that we as women and Suffragists re- pudiate and renounce the pickets, their organization and methods. oD me ma When the Milesburg Red Cross Auxiliary was organized this sum- mer they went a begging for a place for headquarters and a work room. Finally Toner A. Hugg came to their rescue and gave them his store room, which just then happened to be va- cant, for “as long as the war lasted, be it one year or five years,” and the women have the room well fitted up for their headquarters. Naturally they appreciate Mr. Hugg’s generos- ity in the matter as the room he gave them always rented for $10.00 a month. — A +r i W. F. Haas, of the Bellefonte fish hatchery, has a dog that has proven quite expert as a fisherman. He will go to the stream, hunt his fish and with a quick stroke of his paw pin it fast to the bed of the stream and hold it until he gets a good mouth-hold. Some of Mr. Hass’ friends are considering the idea of trying to induce him to breed a regu- lar line of fish dogs, as they would come in good during the trout-fishing season. The cent or two cents extra ad- mission as the general public’s part of the war tax should not deter any person from patronizing the Scenic who wants to see high class motion pictures. Manager T. Clayton Brown did not impose the tax but he is deter- mined to show pictures that will give | the public their money's worth, re- gardless of the price of admission. Ice in the | Here’s hoping | | TROOP L TO BE BROKEN UP. To be Used to Fill Vacancies in Oth- er Pennsylvania Units. Camp Hancock, Ga., Oct. 29, 1917. Editor “Democratic Watchman”: In the past week many changes have taken place at Camp Hancock, one of which should be of interest to every person in Centre county. It is | the complete breaking up of the First Pennsylvania cavalry, of which Belle- fonte’s crack troop has been a part. The order, though of several week's standing, was only made public Fri- day night. It caused quite a commo- tion, and not without cause, for there are many troops of old standing | which will completely lose their iden- tity. It is really a shame that so many i good, young men, who volunteered to serve the United States should be robbed of the privilege of doing their bit with their outfit, and along side i of their long-made friends, but the order is no doubt for the best, though iit may seem very hard to stand. However, Centre county has, and | will continue to have, a company which it may well be proud of. It is ‘the well known Boal Machine Gun | company, which is the ranking com- pany of the 55th Brigade. This com- | pany will without a doubt remain in- | tact until every member has given his , life for his country, either in holding | that sector of trench alloted to them lor in the mad dash for liberty over the top and on to Berlin. The first and second squadrons of the cavalry, which includes the four troops from Philadelphia, the Gov- ernors troop from Harrisburg, the Sheridan troop from Tyrone, Troop H from Pittsburgh, and Troop F from New Castle, will be transferred to the artillery, enough men going to each battery of the three regiments to completely bring them up to war strength. While the third squadron which is made up of Troop L from Bellefonte, Troop M from Lewisburg, Troop K from Lock Haven, and Troop I from Danville, will be even more broken up. A few of the very best men will be transferred to the signal corps, and the remainder will be used to fill up the numerous regiments of infantry. All commissioned men will be trans- ferred as second class privates re- gardless of their previous non-com- missioned offices while in the cavalry. The Boal Machine Gun troop, which is now the First company of the 108th Machine Gun battalion, moved to new quarters Wednesday one week ago. The camp site now occupied is in front of division headquarters. It is much more desirable than the one ‘ previously occupied in the cavalry. ! Bighty-two men will be required to bring the company up to its new quo- ta. A Machine Gun company is very complicated, due to the work it is called upon to do and the equipment which it requires. A battalion of ma- , chine guns moves independently, tak- ing entire care of itself, it having over fifty machine guns, all of which are of the large type. It has been well termed the “suicide club.” Due to there not being any litera- ture written on machine gun drills in the United States, and only a short time now for a drill to be drawn up, Captain W. F. Leitzell, of the First company, has been invited to write up a drill, which will undoubtedly be ac- cepted by the War Department as the regular drill for machine gun units. To date the efficient captain has made wonderful strides toward that end, and last Saturday one platoon from each of the three companies formed a company and tried out the new drill, which proved very efficient. 166 mules were required to move the nec- essary equipment. Only seven offi- cers and sergeants were mounted. All commands for the various movements were given by whistle signals from the steam kitchen which is a part of the train. The necessary equipment for a machine gun unit is most inter- esting, but at this date cannot be made public. All the men are in the best of health and spirits, they having won several very important sham battles, and are always recommended for hav- ing the best inspections wherever they are. A mad rush is always made when the “Democratic Watchman” is brought into camp, evidence that it is very much appreciated by the men. * kk % soe He Just Won’t be an Old Man. Dr. E. S. Dorworth, of this place, is eighty-four years old and while we all know that he gave up real active practice of his profession several years ago he is still specializing in a few diseases the treatment of which he has always been singularly suc- cessful in and what do you think? On Sunday he took a patient to Phil- adelphia and after their safe arrival there, just as if that wasn’t enough to exhaust an ordinarily old gentle- man, he took a train for Baltimore to surprise his son William, who is in business in that city. Still going as good as many a man of his age fig- ures transposed he took a run over to Washington and the last word from ‘him was to the effect that he was see- ing everything to be seen and enjoy- ing every minute of the trip. The Junior Red Cross recently organized by Mrs. W. F. Carson, will meet in the Red Cross rooms in Pet- rikin hall every Thursday aftermoon, immediately after school. This or- gaaization is composed of the chil- dren from the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, their work, which is but for an hour, is making snip pil- lows. Mothers are urged to send their children, that they may learn to do their bit in the great work. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Frank C. Williams, of Altoona, spent Sunday with Bellefonte friends. —(C. BE.

A. rest rooms are pro- viding for the soldiers as they leave the front on short furloughs.
