How Troop L Spent It’s Last Week
as Cevalry. Big Dinner On
: Thanksgiving.
(By Corp. Henry Keller.)
Troop L, 101st U. S. Cav.,
Fort Hancock, Augusta, Ga.
Friday, November 30, 1917.
Editor “Democratic Watchman:”
I Another week has passed and every-
thing is all well
number of rumors have been heard
around camp about breaking up the
cavalry again, but as yet we have not
! been dismembered though every indi-
cation seems to point to the fact that
‘we will soon be no more. Of course
the order has not come yet, or at least
we are still together, and until we are
actually separated we hold some hope
that we may remain a troop. If we
the boys may be able to get the,
| “Watchman” as usual.
Our work has been going on as us-
ual. In the early part of the week
the men continued with their patrol
‘imental hiking was taken up. It was
surely a wonderful sight to see the
| entire regiment come marching in,
(carrying full equipment, headed by
the band. The marches covered from
ten to fifteen miles, just part of the
morning’s work, and all were quite
able to do it without any diff: alty.
No one expressed his dislike for such
| work nor admitted that he felt the
i least bit tired.
Our work with the horses has con-
| tinued just the same. When we start-
{ed with our equitation work we rode
i the horses with but a blanket to ride
{on and kept the horses on a walk.
| Since then we have trotted, galloped
| on then placed our saddles on. Now
we carry full equipment upon the
horses and take quite iong mounted
{ hikes. These, of course, are very
| much enjoyed by the men and we all
I shall surely miss these rides, if we are
! broken up and our horses taken from
ius.
The past few days have been taken
{up by Thanksgiving time. We had a
splendid dinner and all credit is due
to cooks Houck, Hendershot and
{ Gaines, as well as “Chub” Beezer and
Paul Haag, who voluntarily assisted
in the kitchen. Of course all of us
would rather have been home for the
day, but as that could not be we had
to make the best of it here and we
surely did.
Thanksgiving was a holiday to us.
We, of course, had to stand reveille,
which was later than usual, first call
sounding at 6:45. Then we had exer-
cises and after that we had the day to
ourselves until retreat which sound-
ed at 5:30. The government issued
turkeys for us instead of beef, and
nearly every organization took ad-
vantage of the field bakery and had
their turkeys roasted there. I was for-
tunate enough to assist in getting our
turkeys after they had been roasted
and had the opportunity of seeing how
a mere handful of men can handle
several thousand turkeys. It was a
wonderful sight and something I shall
never forget.
Today, as it is the last day of the
month, we were informally inspected
by Major Whitesides. Everybody
was on hand and so we are once more
assured of a prompt pay. That is
something every one is glad to see
and when the bugle blows the “pay
day” march every one manages to be
right on hand for his money.
Trooper Charles Scott received his
transfer to the arsenal and he is now
with my brother Ellis, who was trans-
ferred last week. Troopers Cox and
Roush have received their discharges
and we are all quite sorry to see them
go. They no doubt will soon be back
in Bellefonte and we surely wish them
the best of luck. All of our sick are
now getting along splendidly and
every one in camp is feeling fine. A
few days ago Corporal Crissman re-
turned to us from the hospital. He is
looking very well and just now is
waiting for his furlough home. He
will’ in all possibility arrive there be-
fore this letter is printed. and we feel
sure that he will enjoy his rest and
vacation.
Just now everybody is very quiet.
No one really feels very much like en-
joying anything for each one dreads
the thought of once more being under
new officers and among strange men.
But everybody is quite orderly and
should we go again each: man in L
Troop will go and fulfill his part, no
matter how disagreeable it might be,
and live, of course, in the hope that all
may be called back once again to the
old troop.
Hverybody has enjoyed his work
here and no one has complained.
Johnny Woods was used a little harsh-
ly on kitchen police, and he was heard
to say that he would get up every
morning at four-thirty before he
would be sent up to the kitchen again.
He at least will not miss reveille for
some time to come.
I must close now. Every one joins
me in sending best wishes home and
hoping that all is well.
(Since the above letter was writ-
ten the cavalry has been again dis-
membered. Troop I, of Sunbury, was
missioned officers of Troop L and the
made headquarter’s troop. The com-
sergeants were assigned to the 103rd
engineers while the corporals and all
the privates were assigned to the
108th and 109th artillery, each man
taking his mount with him, but
whether they will be allowed to keep
them or not is not known. Thus the
big body of Troop L is still together
though under different officers.—Ed-
itor).

Auto Thieves Made Things Lively.
In a letter to his home folks C. C.
Shuey, who has been up at Kingston
selling motor trucks, told of an ex-
‘citing experience he had on Monday
night while staying at the home of
‘his daughter, Mrs. Charles Donachy.
. Two young men attempted to steal a
car standing on the street near the
Donachy home but could not get it
| started. They then went to the Wil-
cox garage where Mr. Shuey had his
car, but fortunately it was in back of
several others. Mr. Shuey, however,
had left the key in his car and taking
it out the young men tried to fit it
into another car, but could not. They
then started to push another car from
the garage but hit the side of the
door and the noise gave the alarm so
that they were frightened away be-
fore they could get the car going.
The moral of the story is, however,
never go away from your car and
leave the key in it, as it affords too
great a temptation to would-be auto
thieves.
——DBellefonte friends yesterday re-
ceived the first direct word from Miss
Bertha Laurie since her departure for
war work in France carly in Novem-
ber. Her letter was written from
Paris where she was detained a week
or more having the necessary uni-
forms made before proceeding to the
front. She had an uneventful voyage
over, was sick the first two days out
but after that had a wonderful trip
arriving at their port of entry without
molestation by subs. In Paris she
met Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reed, the
latter formerly Miss Pansy Blanchard,
of this place, and who you will re-
call, was on missionary work at Bei-
rut, Syria, when the war broke out
and experienced so many hardships
before her escape to France. She also
met a young military man named
Wolfe, who saw her name on the ros-
ter and called to see her because he
knew of Bellefonte through acquain-
tance with Miss Kathryn Allison, of
this place. As a matter of special in-
terest to the ladies her uniform will
be gray whip-cord sports suit, with
French blue cords and long military
cape of the same with gray campaign
hat; the insignia being Y. M. C. A,,
U. Ss.
Why the Y. W. C. A. is Campalgning
for Millions. .
The government’s social and pre-
ventive and social work for our sol-
diers and sailors heads up in the fed-
eral commission on training camp ac-
tivities. In addition there are at
least three agencies, the relationship
of which should be analyzed, the Y.
M. C. A., the national playground and
recreation association of America and
the Y. W. C. A.
To the first the government has
turned over the encampment for men,
both here and abroad, a blanket re-
quest, which sent the Y. M. C. A. be-
fore the public to ask for $35,000,000
for its war work alone. This cam-
paign closed the eighteenth of No-
vember with fifteen million dollars
over the request.
To the playground and recreation
association is assigned the commun-
ity work near the encampments. This
association is appealing for $3,750,000,
or about three dollars for every man
in the service, to be raised this fall.
In close co-operation with the fed-
eral commission on training camp ac-
tivities and the playground and rec-
reation association, and with the fed-
eral endorsement of the commandant
concerned, the Y. W. C. A. is being
asked to go into one camp after
ansther with hostess houses, and in-
{to adjoining communities with emer-
gency housing and constructive so-
{cial activities for younger girls. The
Y. W. C. A. is also urged by commit-
tees of women in France and Russia,
and by many prominent workers in
Europe to pour both money and lead-
ers into the first line of defense for
‘womanhood over there. The national
board of the Young Woman’s Chris-
tian Association is therefore asking
for $4,000,000, which must be secured
by the middle of December.
Bellefonte is to have an opportuni-
ty of aiding financially in the splen-
did work that the Y. W. C.-A. has un-
dertaken. The campaign for our
share will close on the eighth.
The Woman’s club has assumed the
money. On Saturday others will be
{given the opportunity of contributing
to this fund. Young women will be
stationed in prominent places in the
town and will gladly receive your

BIG FIRE NEAR JULIAN.
Horses, Cattle and Hogs Perish in
Fire Which Consumed the Mills
Alexander Barn.
Six head of horses, ten head of cat-
tle and 38 hogs, as well as all of the
year’s crops and all the farming im-
plements were burned in a fire which |
destroyed the big barn on the Mills
Alexander farm just east of Julian at
‘an early hour last Friday morning.
The entire loss is estimated at $10,-
: 000, with only $1,900 insurance on the

barn and none on the crops or stock.
The farm and buildings belonged :
‘to the Mills Alexander estate, the wid-
row now living at State College. The
farm is tenanted by Kyle Alexander,
years. He garnered big crops this
vear and with his large drove of hogs
about ready for butchering was feel-
ing well satisfied over his year’s
iwork, and the financial results he
would reap as the result thereof.
On Thursday afternoon of last
{outfit moved to the Alexander barn
{and threshed out thirty-five bushels of
buckwheat before quitting
i evening they made the customary in-
| spection to see that everything was
lall right. The fire in the thresher en-
| gine was carefully banked, but at that
there was no danger of fire from it.
At two o'clock Friday morning Mr.
Alexander wakened with a sense of
something wrong and jumping out of
veloped in flames. In fact by the
time he got his clothes on and got out
it was impossible to go near it for the
heat, and it was owing to this fact
that all his stock was burned. In fact
everything he owned outside of his
household goods and wearing apparel
was burned, and not a cent of insur-
ance on any of it. Mr. Alexander had
intended butchering most of his hogs
this week, and had arranged for their
disposal in the Philipsburg markets.
How the fire originated is unknown
but it is the candid opinion of Mr.
Alexander and the public generally
in that locality that the barn was set
on fire but by whom is the mystery.

"Tis the Nickel-Alloys Co. Scrap.
Last week the “Watchman” pub-
lished an item relative to fourteen
carloads of scrap iron being embargo-
ed on the siding near Curtin and on
Friday afternoon Dr. C. T. Hennig
called at this office and stated that the
scrap belonged to the Nickel-Alloys
Co., of Hyde City, and that they are
so badly in need of it that he was
going out to Pittsburgh that after-
noon to see if it wasn’t possible to
work out some way that the company
can be assured of getting the mater-
ial it is so much in need of. Speaking
of the condition of the company at
present last week’s Clearfield Repub-
lican said:
The Nickel-Alloys company, operat-
ing the Hyde City plant, is now fully
{equipped and is manufacturing and
shipping the finest product as fast as
it can be turned out. ‘
Dr. C. T. Hennig, president of the
{company and inventor of the several
| grades of steel, alloy steel and other
high grade iron which is now so much
| sought in the iron and steel industry
is justly pleased over the reports re-
| ceived regarding the tests to which
| the product has been subjected by a
‘large number of the steel companies
| of the country.
Today the mill is equipped to turn
rout the finest grades of nickel-alloy
| products, and the orders on hand are
| sufficient to keep the plant running
full capacity for a long time to come,
Dr. Hennig has had many obstacles
| to overcome in reaching the position
[now occupied by his company, of
! which he is the controlling factor. He
{could have reached present success
‘others in to the extent of gaining con-
(trol of the organization financially.
But he preferred to retain that power
himself and in doing so had much to
‘ contend with.
Clearfield today has an industry of
which our people have great reason
‘to be proud. It will be a source of
(much good to the community in a
| commercial sense for years and years.
Paul Seanor will leave tomor-
row for Philadelphia to get his as-
| signment to an aviation school.
