Somewhere in France, May 13. You know by now, of course, that I have landed safely and am in excel- lent spirits and health. The trip was | lovely—no excitement at all and this naturally made it a bit monotonous, but I enjoyed every bit of it, anyway. but nevertheless we had to get up at three o’clock every morning and keep watch until five, so that knocked our rest on the head. Several of the offi- cers and myself spent the greater part of the voyage playing bridge, and as | gambling of all sorts was prohibited this formed a very good amusement and lots of fun, although a few of them would rather have played for real money. But you can imagine the feeling that came over us when we first sight- ed land and airplanes circled above us —we felt quite thrilled; and then when we came really close enough to see the land we were really overcome by its marvelous beauty. I doubt if there could ever be anything prettier. Huge cliffs, set in a green background, with wonderful mansions skirting the horizon. Then we passed a beautiful beach and then came into -a most quaint town. The houses are all very low and mostly of stone. Here and there a modern house of concrete can |be seen, but no wooden structures, and all are made pretty by bits of fan- cy colored inlaid brick. We put into the dock and I was standing by the deck-rail talking to Charles Cruse and Allen McClellan when Allen Cruse and Bob Taylor came up to see us. Of course Charles Cruse and I have been together ever since we left Bellefonte last Septem- ber but the other boys were quite a surprise to me. They told me that Miss Bertha Laurie was here, and al- so that Lester Musser, Frank Smith and Charles Gates were here. Hunted for Miss Laurie and found that she is not here, and wherever I go I shall try and see if she is there. The boys I have been unable to locate. On board the ship we were ever be- ing startled by fancy named food that would turn out to be regular old briny grub. Once the menu showed Liber- ty cabbage and Belgian sausage and it turned out to be sauerkraut and weinies. And the water was terrible. I felt that I would give anything to land and get a drink of real water. Well, when I got here I found the water even worse than on board. All the natives here drink wines and beer, and some go as far as brandies, cham- pagne and other liquors. I have not touched any at present nor shall I. I stick to water and milk. They have no soft drinks and their coffee is hor- rible, so I am hoping for the time when I go up front and get real Amer- ican coffee. The chocolate is wonder- ful and so while in town I drink that. We have seen loads of German pris- oners. Their looks are against them and I have no ambition to ever bring any of them back. I would rather kill them. I feel it is the only way. There I saw with my own eyes some of the things we have been taught each day —the personal care of our body and our soul. The real French people we see very little of. They are a splen- did race. But we do see and have seen quantities of women and men who are nothing but social parasites. They also come within my ban. Today it rained very hard and we could not cook because our stove was outside, so a few of us went into town for dinner. Well, you ought to have witnessed the performance. None of us could speak a word of French nor could the waitresses talk English, so we at last compromised by using a dictionary and showing her what we wanted, and she brought us what she pleased. I do not know what the food was, but I ate it any way. ; Then the money is so funny. You can have a whole fistfull of bills and change and the lump sum will not amount to five dollars. You think you have a fortune in your hand but you buy one thing and it takes it all. But we get used to it all and I suppose that before long I will have a small vocabulary and a large list of exper- iences. I will close now, asking to be re- membered to all my friends at home. ol Baseball Tonight. This is the evening for the sched- uled ball game between the North and West wards of the Red Cross baseball league, and the “Watchman” desires to bespeak a more liberal pa- tronage of these games. The admis- sion of ten cents is so small that no one will miss it, but in the aggregate it will help along with the amount of money needed by the Bellefonte Chap- ter of the Red Cross to keep it in supplies. The game on Memorial day between the North and South wards was won by the North ward by the score of 5 to 3, and the game sched- uled for Tuesday evening of this week between the South and West ward teams had to be postponed on account of rain. Go out and see the game this evening, however, and help along a good cause. Spanish War Veterans Reunion. The annual reunion of the Fifth regiment Spanish War veterans will be held at Somerset tomorrow. A business meeting will be held in the court house at ten o'clock a. m. A beans and bacon mess will be served in the Edgewood grove at noon. Fol- lowing the mess a public meeting will be held in the grove and speeches made by an officer of the French ar- my now recuperating in the United States; Col. Thomas S. Crage and Hon. Alvin Sherbine. All old soldiers and friends of the soldiers are invited to attend. { - —Not ‘We were not bothered at all by subs, | | : oes | '——Col. W.

Robert Bruce Reed, who mar- ried Miss Pansy Blanchard, of this place and who is now in Paris doing war work, died at his home in Hunt- ingdon last Thursday afternoon and was buried on Monday. He was sev- | enty-nine years old and a native of i Hartleton, Union county, though most of his life had been spent in Clearfield county and at Huntingdon. ——Calvin L. Stamm left Bellefonte recently for Barberton, Ohio, where he has accepted a position as superin- tendent of the Brighton farm owned by F. H. Mason. The farm includes about eight hundred acres of fertile land located on Turkey Foot lake, a big summer resort, and is about six miles from Akron. In addition to farming Mr. Mason conducts a big dairy, having about one hundred and fifty head of blooded cattle. ——Clark Duey, of Tyrone, a brake- man on the Tyrone division of the Pennsylvania railroad, met with a painful accident at the Betts colliery on the Moshannon branch last Friday night which may result in his losing a portion of his right hand. He was in the act of making a coupling when his hand was caught between the bumpers and badly crushed. He was at once taken to the Cottage State hospital, Philipsburg, and the physi- cians in charge have hopes of saving his thumb and middle finger. ——In amusement value the Scenic always rates one hundred per cent. good. The motion pictures shown there cannot be seen anywhere else in Bellefonte, and movie fans who at- tend the Scenic regularly know that they always get full value for the price of admission. The large attend- ance at the Scenic every evening is evidence of the wisdom of manager T. Clayton Brown’s judgment in the selection of his special feature films. These, in addition to his regular cir- cuit films, are what makes the Scen- ic such a popular motion picture show. ——Traveling men and strangers in Bellefonte have frequently been at- tracted by the immense numbers of day old chicks shipped from here by parcel post. Practically all the chicks have come from the Frank Hockman hatchery at Mingoville. During the past eight weeks they have averaged 18,000 chicks a week, or over 100,000 all told, and they expect to continue shipping up until the first of July. The chicks are shipped as far west as Pittsburgh, and east to Hackensack, N. J. Mr. Hockman has this year been receiving $14.00 a hundred for his chicks so that he will realize a nice sum from his hatchery. ——The Young Women’s Mission- ary society of the Presbyterian church will hold a lawn festival Sat- urday evening, June 15th, on the chapel lawn. The larger portion of the proceeds will be forwarded to Miss Bertha Laurie to be devoted to her Y. M. C. A. canteen work in the Ameri- can sector in France, where a num- ber of Bellefonte boys are now locat- ed; the remainder to be used for mis- sionary needs. Ice cream, cake and strawberries will be served. Music will be furnished by the Harmonic club. The public is cordially invited to patronize the young ladies who are striving to aid in the great war work among our own boys abroad. vee ——Word has been received in Bellefonte of the recent promotion of Capt. Rex Cooper, of the 315th engi- neers, to the rank of major. Major Cooper is well known in Bellefonte, having spent his boyhood days here when his father was connected with and who has frequently visited here since as the guest of the Misses Ben- ner. He entered the first officers’ training camp for engineers at Leon Springs, San Antonio, Texas, a year ago. From there he was sent to Fort Leavenworth for intensive training and while there was promoted to cap- tain. His new rank came to him a few weeks ago while stationed at Camp Travis, San Antonio. His reg- iment will leave for France very shortly and he will make one more Bellefonte boy over there. coe ~ ——Joseph Woods, the man sen- tenced to the penitentiary on Tues- day for larceny, made his escape while working on the public road in Benner township last Wednesday. He made Fhis way te the sewage disposal plant at State College where he remained until night. From there he went to Struble station where he broke into Harry Musser’s general store, steal- ing fifteen dollars. in cash, some knives and candy. Thursday morn- ing he met John Whitmer at White Hall and asked him how to get to the nearest railroad station. Whitmer directed him to Fairbrook and he went there and took the train for Tyrone. In the meantime the sheriff got word of Woods’ whereabouts and telephoned the Tyrone police who nabbed the man as he' got off of the Lewisburg and Tyrone train. The sheriff went to Tyrone and brought him back to jail. the old- Bellefonte Electric company, Miss Bertha Laurie Writes of How the ! Men Above the Ranks Are Tak- | en Care Of. Somewhere in France, April 13. Last night the Y. M. C. formally | opened an officers’ club, with a can- | teen attached. You see our hut, al-: though very big, has to look after so many thousand enlisted men that the ! officers are really neglected. Although ° there are a hundred or more chairs roped off “for officers only,” the coun- | ter is so crowded they hardly get a look in there. The colonel asked us to open up this club for officers and | of course we were delighted to do it,’ although it takes the time of one of our secretaries and one detail to look after it. The club is in the most ar- ! tistic building in the camp; in fact it was the first building erected by the Sixteenth engineers when they came | last summer. The walls are made of ! the red-brown mud which abounds here and the roof is thatched with | straw. The floor is pebbly dirt and each of the two big rooms has an enormous stone fire-place. The fur- niture was made by one of the men— rustic with seats and backs of woven twine, and rustic benches built each side of the fire-place. It was the Six- | teenth’s mess hall but they have gone | and it is now an officers’ club. Marian and I were given leave to fix it up and we had the walls washed yellow, put white curtains at the win- | dows, and lovely big yellow cushions on the benches by the fire-place. It! is lighted by electricity, but the cur- | rent is rather spasmodic so we found | some lovely French blue candle sticks ! which we put on the mantle shelves | and on the writing tables. We also | found some good-looking stone jars which we filled with lovely blue iris which we placed in the other room. Mr. Edwards, our secretary, hunted in the city until he found a good bil- liard table which stands in the centre | of one of the rooms. There are also tables with magazines, very comforta- ble chairs and a piano in the corner. The kitchen has been turned into a canteen, with a nice white oil cloth covered counter. Marian and I arose at 5:30 to catch the bread and beef truck to go to the city and shop, and when we got home worked like Turks to get the place ready for the opening at 7 o’clock. It really looks lovely and paid for the work and trouble. We served in the canteen on the opening night, but we will stick to our work in the big hut, being down there only one night a week. The Colonel opened the club with a nice speech. With him was Sir George Paiche, who spoke later at the main hut. He was charming to us, and it was quite a festive occasion, I can tell you. The men, I mean offi- cers, were so pleasant about it, and I’m sure it will do a lot of good. You know the officers need looking after and being entertained as well as the men, maybe more so, as they have so many and great responsibilities; and they like to talk about home and fam- ily just as well as the enlisted men. “It’s a great life, if you don’t weak- en,” as Mr. Edwards says. We have fine secretaries now, half a dozen of them, and our chaplain is the finest ever. He preaches wonderful ser- mons. Last Sunday night on “Is God In the War?” The chaplain was in- terrupted a number of times by loud applause. He’s absolutely the most satisfactory man I can imagine for the place. Eleven o’clock and the candle going out. Our landlady claims she can’t get oil, and also requests us to bring our own bread for breakfast. We are hoping to get into our own barracks within a month and I hope we'll be Zhle to find a maid. Candle out, good ye. BERTHA. Disastrous Fire at Rebersburg. The usually quiet town of Rebers- burg, Brush valley, was stirred to its depths on Monday afternoon by one of the worst fires known in the history of the town. Ten barns and stables were reduced to ashes in less than an hour. The fire started between two and three o’clock in the barn of For- est Ocker and swept through the en- tire row of barns and stables to the eastern end of the town. Those de- stroyed belonged to the following people: Forest Ocker, Mrs. Thomas Walker, Jerry Brungard, Thomas Brungard, Jonathan Spangler, Clay- ton Brungard, Mrs. Alice Sholl, Mrs. Ida Weaver, Mrs. Boob and Miss Ella Corman, while the barn of Howard Krape was badly damaged. How the fire originated is unknown but it spread so rapidly that practic- ally everything in the barns was burn- ed. This included several pigs, var- ious farming implements and four automobiles belonging to Forest Ock- er, Jerry Brungard, Victor Walker, of Rebersburg, and Charles Miller, of Pitcairn. The total loss is estimated at $20,000, on which there was only a small insurance. The fire was so hot that it was only by dint of hard work that the homes of the owners of the barns were saved. the Academy This Evening. Reception at This (Friday) evening is the time. for the reception and celebration of the fiftieth year of Rev. James P. Hughes’ connection with the Belle- fonte Academy.
