Dear Mother: — Three weeks ago I was sent to this hospital from the sanitary school. It is a comfy hospital now but may be changed to a base in the near future. At first I was placed in the quarter- master’s department but for the past week have been working in the labor- atory. It is a mobile laboratory, a separate organization, for the present attached to the hospital. I hope to be transferred to it permanently be- cause the work is very interseting, for the most part along chemical and bacteriological lines. Have not seen Howard Roland since we were separated at the classifica- tion camp; in fact have not been able to get in touch with him by mail. No letters have reached me from home due, of course, to frequent changes of address. Imagine every- thing will come at once. This letter may reach you before the one I wrote Ray several days ago, because this is Mother’s day and letters written to mothers on this day are to be delay- ed as little as possible. This hospital is located in one of the most attractive sections of this wonderful country. Our billets are comfortable and everybody is well clothed and nourished. In fact the food is much better here than it was in the States, although the canton- ments at home are supposed to give remarkable meals to the men. I have a wonderful appetite as always, and feel better physically than ever be- fore. Will write soon and let you know if 1 have been fortunate enough to get transferred to the laboratory. May 20, 1918. Dear Mother:— Last Monday I was transferred to the laboratory which, as my previous letter explained, is supposed to be a mobile one. We are attached to the 926th camp hospital, and although a mobile organization present indica- tions lead me- to believe we will be here for some time. Our personnel consists of two offi- cers, one a physician and experienc- ed bacteriologist, the other a chemist who instructed at Cornell, and four enlisted men, including myself. Both officers are from Pennsylvania, one of the men from California, another from Kansas and the third an entomolo- gist (one who studies insect life) from nowhere in particular, having traveled extensively in order to hunt bugs. As all are the best of good fel- lows my duties are a pleasure instead of a burden. 5 Waters from various sources are turned over to the laboratory for ex- amination, but for the most part our work consists in microscopical exam- ination of matter obtained by swab- bing the nose, throat, etc., pus from infected wounds, blood taken from the individual, sputum and innumerable other things. The examination will disclose the presence or absence of harmful organisms (bacteria) and their nature, if present, so that the proper medical treatment can be giv- en. If a man appears to have diphthe- ria his throat is swabbed and an at- tempt made to discover harmful bac- teria; in many instances only a few are present and not discovered, there- upon a second swab is made and the matter transferred to a tube contain- ing a preparation on which the bac- teria will thrive, if present. The tube is then placed in the incubator at body temperature for from 18 to 24 hours. A few bacteria in that time will pro- duce millions so that it becomes easy to detect bacteria if present in the suspected material. I have attempted to explain the character of our work, but don’t want you to feel that I am exposed to con- tagion or infection, because such is not the case. We would not be safer if this were a knitting circle. It is generally understood that per- mission will soon be given us to men- tion our location. In the meantime guess and I'll wager one hundred dol- lars you won’t come within 150 miles of it. Have not received any word from over there, due to having traveled around so much. Am permanently lo- cated at last. Write often. Your affectionate son, haifa ; BASIL. BROCKERHOFF. — Miss Mary Brockerhoff died very unexpectedly at the family home on the corner of Spring and Bishop streets a few min- utes past eight o'clock on Sunday health the past two years, and her condition was known to be serious, yet she had been no worse than usual on Sunday up until a short time be- fore her death.

Escaped Prisoner Shot at Guard and Still Defies Capture. : William Hall, the Blair countian ' who escaped from the Rockview pen- created considerable excitement on | Monday morning when he shot at | guard Harry Whiteman at the Robert Bloom home near Pleasant View. | From all accounts Hall spent Sunday | night in a barn between Axe Mann | and Pleasant Gap. At an early hour, Bellefonte and came in contact with a | man named Zong who was coming in | from Axe Mann to go to his work at the American Lime & Stone Co. ! Hall walked along with him and! after passing through Bellefonte | asked the road to Lock Haven. He ‘was told about the State road and | also that he could go to Milesburg | and down Bald Eagle valley. He| chose the latter. Down at the Rob- | ert Bloom home he came face to face | with guard Whiteman, who was on his way to Bellefonte to take the | train for the penitentiary. Whiteman i knew him and at once took him in | hand. Hall told him he was awful | hungry and he took him into Blooms | to get something to eat. Once inside : Whiteman attempted to search Hall | when the latter suddenly drew a re- | Whiteman bolted out of | the house. Hall followed and fired two shots at Whiteman but failed to | hit him.: Hall ran and Whiteman took | four shots at him, not knowing at the | time whether they took effect, then hurried to Bellefonte and notified the penitentiary officials. In the meantime the escaped pris- | oner made his way along the south | side of the mountain to the Elmer | ‘Gordon home where he stopped and | asked for something to eat. Mr. Gor- don had gone to work and the woman | who keeps house for him recognized | Hall as a man she one time knew very | well. She took him in and gave him breakfast and he told what had hap- pened and all about himself. He showed the Gordon boy where White- man shot him in the right side just above the hip, but it was only a flesh wound. In the meantime a large posse had been gathered and a search of the mountain made. The search was kept up Monday, Monday night and Tues- day but not a sight of the man was | to be had. Tuesday evening about five o’clock he went down off of the mountain into Bald Eagle valley and stole two chickens from the Mrs. John Leathers home, then ducked back into the woods, not, however, without hav- ing been seen and recognized by Mrs. Leathers. A constant search has been Tr . Monday morning he started toward | kept up ever since but up to last even- ing no further trace of Hall had been : found. — ,oe— Shippers. .

Bill is selling red, white and blue lead pencils on the street and he has this to say: “Buy a pencil, please, but if you are able to go to war and use sol- id shot and shell, don’t hide behind his patriotic pencils but go to the front and do their part.” And just here it might be timely to tell a little incident of Bill’s patriotism. During the week of the strenuous Red Cross campaign, on the night when the big mass meeting was held in Bellefonte, Bill made his way to the court house and standing on the porch waited un- til the approach of William Burn- side. He made his way to that gentleman and placed a small piece of wrapped paper in his hand. Mr. Burnside was busy and stuck it in his vest pocket. The next morning the incident recurred to him and pulling the rolled up paper out of his pocket he opened it and there he found a quarter and a slip of paper marked «For the Red Cross.” That quarter probably represented two days of Bill’s time on the street selling lead pencils, and yet it was given volun- tarily and cheerfully. And that is one reason why the “Watchman” now publishes his appeal to buy his Old Glory pencils. — James C. Curtin, in an adver tisement in the “Watchman” this week, is offering for sale his present home on the corner of Allegheny and Howard streets. . — Subscribe for the “Watchman.” cE The Inside History of the War. There have been many interesting viewpoints of the causes of war with Germany, and the German ideas and policies of world domination. But no individuel can speak so au- thoritatively and from personal knowledge of the real facts as Ambas- sador James W. Gerard. In the wonderful feature film pro- duction made from Ambassador James W. Gerard’s book, “My Four Years in Germany,” you see scene after scene that eloquently exposes the Prussian menace to American and world freedom. You see the Kaiser tell Gerard, after he had churlishly refused to see him for six months “that America had better look out after this war, I will stand no nonsense from her.” You see the overrunning of Belgium, the German prison camps, the U-boat warfare, the underground pages of Germany diplomacy that Germany never intended Americans to find out. It is a historic document of tremen- dous importance to every man and woman who would know the truth and stand loyally behind our government. In this picture you will see why | American troops are over there. You | will see the real reasons why they | went there and why they will stay there to the last man if necessary un- | til German autocracy is broken. No mere bit of fiction in motion | pictures will hold your interest and attention as this most remarkable | page in world history which created | international sensation in print. ! “My Four Years in Germany” will | be shown at the Nittany theatre in | State College, on July 3rd and 4th. | The Patriotic League, What It Is? People are asking, “What is the Pa- | triotic League and its Work?” It would take top much time and space | to tell all there is to be told, so we" will just deal with the League in this | community. In these busy days which mean so much to the whole world, no one can | afford to be idle. And while we can- | not all be sailors, soldiers or Red Cross nurses for Uncle Sam, yet there | is work for all to do. So the Patriot- | ic League is an organization through | which every girl may link up and do | her bit. The Patriotic League has a | three-fold purpose for every girl who | enrolls. This is specified in the pledge which is as follows: «I pledge to express my patriotism by doing better than ever before what- ever work I have to do; by rendering whatever special service I can to my community and country; by living up to the highest standards of character and honor and helping others to do the same.” Here in Bellefonte the League has about fifty active members, in addi- | tion to a High school branch of one hundred and twenty-five members. It meets for business the first Friday in each month. Classes in French and stenography have been formed. Two nights a month are spent in sewing for -Belgian relief, and one ‘evening a month is spent in a social way. New members will be heartily welcomed. News of the Soldier Boys. Major James G. Taylor spent Tues- day with friends in Bellefonte, having stopped off-on his way east. During the past six months or more he has been located at Camp Pike, Nebras- ka, where he assisted in the training | of three divisions of the national ar- my. But the fact that he stopped to Bellefonte to say good-bye to his friends looks as if his training days are over. Hugh Quigley, son of Judge and Mrs. H. C. Quigley, who has been at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass., at an offi- cers’ training camp, was this week transferred to Camp Hancock in order to give him the advantage of special training in machine gun service. Ogden B. Malin spent Sunday with his father and sisters in Bellefonte. He has completed his training at the proving grounds at Aberdeen, Md., but expects to be there a few weeks yet. Clyde Bartley, of Hublersburg, went to Altoona on Monday and en- listed in the U. S. ambulance service. Case—MecGowan.—The wedding of James Barry Case, of Washington, D. C., and Miss Marie Josephine Mec- Gowan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William McGowan, of Spring Creek, was solemnized at eight o’clock mass at St. John’s Catholic church on Tues- day morning, Father William E. Downes officiating. The attendants were Miss Agnes McGowan, a sister of the bride, as bridesmaid, and Ray- mond Popkins, of Washington, best man. Immediately following the cer- emony a wedding breakfast was serv- ed at the bride’s home at which the only guests were the immediate mem- bers of the bridal party. . Mr. and Mrs. Case left on the 1:27 p. m. train for a wedding trip to Phil- adelphia and New York before tak- ing up their residence in Washington where the bridegroom is a draughts- man in the Navy Department. Out of town guests at the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Popkins, Miss Ruth Case, a sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Catharine Neville, all of Washington, D. C., and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kellerman, of Coalport. — James C. Krape, who has been the general factotum at the Belle- fonte hospital the past ten years has handed in his resignation to take effect on or about July first. Mr. Krape spent last week visiting his brother George in Johnstown and while there had offers of several good positions carrying big wages and the lure of the money floating around that city was too much for him and he decided to go out and get seme of it while the getting is good. ——Subseribe for the “Watchman.” ca sms Epworth League Convention.
