The Federal government has asked the Pennsylvania Council of National Defense and Committee of Public Safety to locate all enemy owned property in the State and the Centre County Branch hag been called upon to ascertain whether there is any property in this county owned either by “enemies” or “allies of enemies.” For the guidance of our readers we publish the following interpretation of what constitutes an “enemy” or al- ly of an “enemy” so far as applica- ble to this request. “The term “enemy” as here used includes every person now living within, and every company incorpor- ated within Germany, Austria-Hun- gary, and all territory occupied by the armed forces of the Central pow- ers. Similarly, the term “ally of en- emy” includes every person now liv- ing within, and every company incor- porated within any of the allies of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Res- idence, and not citizenship, is the de- termining factor. Germans, Austro- Hungarians, Turks, ete., residing in the United States are not by reason of their nationality considered “ene- mies” or “allies of enemies.” Ger- mans and Austro-Hungarians held in the custody of the War Department are included within the term “ene- my.” Americans residing in Germany or Austria-Hungary, or in the terri- tory occupied by their forces; are in- cluded within the term “enemy;” and Americans in Bulgaria or Turkey or in territory occupied by their forces are included in the term “ally of en- emy.” “Enemy-owned property includes all kinds of property, tangible or in- tangible, money, chattels, securities, lands, accounts receivable, etc., be- longing to an enemy. If the property is held in the name of another—by a dummy or in trust—it is enemy prop- erty—provided the beneficial interests belong to an enemy. Will you, therefor, as a patriotic du- ty immediately advise the Centre County Branch of the Pennsylvania Council of National Defense and Com- mittee of Public Safety, Geo. R. Meek, executive secretary, at Belle- fonte, Pa., if you have knowledge of any such property being located with- in Centre county. veo Brief Meeting of Borough Council. The regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening was very brief, owing to the intense heat. The new member, Ad Fauble, was present and took his seat, being assigned the same place on the various committees occupied by his predecessor, Dr. Blockerhoff, resigned. There were no verbal or written communications. The Water commit- tee reported the lowering of water and sewer pipes on south Water and Willowbank streets to make them con- form to the grade of the state high- way. The Finance committee reported a balance in the hands of the treasurer on August first of $122.50. The Special committee reported that the State-Centre Electric com- pany had not as yet made an inspec- tion of the pump at the Phoenix pumping station and the secretary was instructed to notify them that such inspection must be made within ten days or a man would be employed to look after the pump at their ex- pense. A request by Miss Mary Bradley that the borough reimburse her for the putting down of a crossing over the alley between the Bradley prop- erty and that of John Porter Lyon was referred to the Street committee. Mrs. Louisa Bush asked exoneration of water taxes amounting to about $41.00, on account of unoccupied prop- erties. The same was referred to the Water committee. The time for the water appeals was fixed for Monday evening, August 12th, in the council chamber. Bills to the amount of $2,219.29 were approved and council adjourned. —ee el For high class Job Work come to the “Watchman” Office. WITH THE SOLDIER BOYS IN FRANCE. Another Series of Interesting Letters From a Bellefonte Boy “Over There.” France, July 2. Received your letter yesterday and it was the first I have received in three weeks, and was I glad? I guess yes. I was pleased to hear that everything is all right at home, ex- cept not hearing from me regularly. I have been writing once a week, but will endeavor to write oftener, as I know how it is to be looking for a let- ter and it does not come. Speaking of things of interest, I imagine most things over here would be interesting to the folks back home, but the biggest happenings are grow- ing to be very commonplace to us fel- lows now. The novelties of France are fast wearing away and we are all beginning to realize and appreciate the great natural beauties of the United States. I also miss the hum- ming and buzzing, hustle and bustle of business and manufactories, as such a sight is very rare over here, especially at the pesent time. I had a communication from Lieut. Dick Taylor the other day, from a chap that came down from where he is located. He is in fine shape and from what I hear is doing good work for his country, as are all the other boys from home who left with our old cavalry outfit. I often wish we were still together. It would just be a reg- ular picnic to sit astride one of our old cavalry “skins” and ride down the Huns. As Bert Taylor used to say, he would sooner face six men with ri- fles than one man on a horse. It would sure be great. I heard indirectly from the other boys, Sam Rhinesmith, Frank Smith and Lester Musser, and they are all in good health and getting along in their work. I understand Sam is a corporal now. When I come home please have the fire alarm silenced as I thnk I hear it every clear night we have, and we oft- en hear alittle shrapnel singing mer- rily along. Ihavebeen in the best of health and weigh 66 kilos, (146 lbs.,) so you see I am not losing weight. I suppose you have heard that there is a real war on here. No one seems to know definitely what the argument is about, but I do know that the Sam- mies will be very much in evidence in settling the dispute. I had a glimpse of some distinguished French gener- als the other day and believe me, they were real looking men, and I don’t blame the poilu for fighting like h—I for such men as that, and a country like theirs. Well, I am contemplating watching a baseball game on the Fourth, and that is something to look forward to. France, July 10. It has been five days since I at- tempted to write home but at every attempt I was called to do something and had to forego the pleasure. Now I think I will have an opportunity to write. I wonder how you all spent the Fourth and what kind of a cele- bration you had. I am going to tell you my day’s experience and you can see how I put in my time. Now in order to make everything clear to you, I will make a little ex- planation. There is a little place in town, you can hardly call it a restau- rant, but more like a tea room, where we fellows have gone quite frequent- ly to eat a few eggs and chips, the latter being potatoes French fried. We have given the place the name of Mary Jane’s as it is conducted by a middle-aged woman and her two young girls, 14 and 16 years old, and it would be hard to find two creatures more full of life. On the evening of the 3rd we had supper at Mary Jane’s and later sat around a little while smoking cigar- ettes, contemplating the next day's (the 4th) proceedings, as we were to have a day off. We finally made ar- rangements for dinner there the next day and explained as good as we could that it was to be a “bon-fete”— a good day for us, of which they seemed to be well informed. We then left and returned to our barracks and to bed for the night. The Fourth of July dawned. I so well remember of celebrating the day so often at home, and now away off in the foreign country, it dawned clear and bright and warm, just as it did in Bellefonte. So after we had our breakfast we walked through the town. We were greatly thrilled to see the vast number of flags in evi- dence. The tri-color, British flags, Portugese, Belgian and last but not least Old Glory in the place of honor. Well it seemed like home to see the town all decorated up to celebrate the day of days, when the good old Unit- ed States declared its independence from the country it is now allied with in enforcing the independence of na- tions and making a world-wide democ- racy. Along toward noon we strolled into Mary Jane’s, and were very cordially received, although all effusions were dispensed with for the time being on account of the presence of strangers in the room. Soon we were served soup. It was most delicious, and that is the only name I can give it, as I am at a loss to know what it was. Then the strangers left and the stir- ring things happened. In came the mamma and two girls with little bou- quets of red roses, pinks and little white flowers, with tiny ferns, all neatly wired together, which they put in the button-hole of each one’s shirt. Then they brought ina large bouquet of red roses, white and blue flowers, tied with red, white and blue ribbon, which they placed upon the table. Then each one in turn (it embarrasses me to say it, but they did) kissed each one of us, and the daddy and old grandma each shook hands and wish- From Son in France to Father at {Report of Sales of War Savings ed us a good time, adding, to them the essential declaration. Vive la Etats Unis, (long live the United States). ! For our dinner, following the soup, we had salad, steak, beans and little wee potatoes, French fried; chocolate pudding, cakes and tea. We filled up, finished and thanked them effusively, : Home. | i The following letter from Hrary E. ‘Dunlap, of the Supply company, 108th i field artillery, written from Camp de { Meucon, Vannes, France, under date iof July 9th, will be read with interest ‘by his many friends in Bellefonte: Stamps as Credited to the Various Postoffices in Centre County.

France, July 17 Received your letter yesterday and was mighty glad to get it anc hear that all are well at home. I am ai- ways looking for letters but I realize that you people at home are busy, too, so will be contented with what I get. No doubt you feel a little blue about Ted’s and little Betty going to Dhil- ipsburg, but I had my big case of the’ blues when I left all my kia to come over here, but I have safely survived and am taking things as they —ome' and don’t worry about anything ex- cept the health of those at home.

I was told this morning that I was IT have not put anything in my letters that I thought he might cut out. | We had a big Fourth of July here; ‘that is it was a big time for us to ;have in the army. In the morning we had a game of base ball and at 2 .p. m. we had a brigade review and of course I had to be in it. Then after the review we had another game of base ball and some track work, which of course was very interesting to me and I enjoyed it very much. I suppose that there was a big time at Hecla as usual, and I certainly would have loved to have been there for I know that I could have enjoyed myself very ' imuch, for I always had a gool time i around Bellefonte on the Fourth of July. But I wish you could have been i here to see the review, for I know that {you would have enjoyed it, as it was great.

The laboratory personnel consists of two officers and four enlisted men, including myself. Different sections of the country are represented and it so happens that we come from very diverse walks of life. Our command- ing officer is a Philadelphia man and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in medicine. He has been in close touch with laboratory work throughout the country and pri- or to the war was connected with the Florida State Board of Health. The other officer comes from Scranton and was a professor of chemistry at Cor- nell. One of the enlisted men, who was a banker in South Dakota, is our official book-keeper. The second is an entomologist (one who studies in- sect life) and hails from no place in particular, having moved about much in order to study insects in different sections of the country. The third, a California boy, was a farmer who gave his spare moments to theology and pugilism. Now add an ex-pill- roller and you can picture a hetero- geneous outfit of the first order.

It is a great thing among the boys when the mail comes in, and if they do not get at least one letter it certainly makes them feel dowmhearted, so please, all of you, write just as often as you can. Love to the girls and boys and lots for yourself, I will close for this time. Lovingly, HARRY E. DUNLAP. coo Regarding Pay to Dependents. If the families and dependents of service men find a reduction in their shecks received from the bureau of war risk insurance this month they will have no call for uneasiness or alarm. A new system of payment has been adopted by the bureau which will standardize the amount paid through it. Additional checks to make up the full allotment will be forwarded from either the War or Navy Department, marine corps, or whatever branch of service in which the enlisted men are serving. Dependents are urged to write to enlisted men and find out how much they are alloting out of their pay to their families at home. They will in this way be able to learn if they are receiving the correct amount by check over and above what the war risk in- surance bureau is paying them. Let us regain second place and hold it. Very truly yours, W. HARRISON WALKER, Chairman War Savings Committee for Centre County. Bellefonte, Pa., August 6th, 1918. ove Postmasters of the County to Meet. The postmasters of Centre county have been called to meet in Bellefonte on Tuesday morning, August 13th, at 10 o’clock. The purpose of the gathering is to stimulate their activities in the sale of war savings stamps and to that end they will be addressed by county chairman W. Harrison Walker and the chairman of the Union county committee, who has been invited here to tell our postmasters what their fel- lows are doing to keep their county in an advanced position. Centre County Veteran Club Reunion Saturday, Sept. 28. The executive committee of the Centre county Veteran club held a meeting at the court house, Belle- fonte, on Saturday morning. Chair- man John Hamilton presided and on motion of Col. Emanuel Noll it was voted to hold this year’s annual re- union in Bellefonte on Saturday, Sep- tember 28th. It will be in the shape of a basket picnic and an all day gathering. A complete program will be announced in due time. ooo DeVaux—Marsh.—Dwight L. M. DeVaux and Miss Margaret S. Marsh, both of Greensburg, were married at the U. B. parsonage in this place on Thursday of last week by the pastor, Rev. T. Hugh MacLeod. Mr. DeVaux is an electrician in Pittsburgh while Miss Marsh was a school teacher at Greensburg and was taking the sum- mer course for teachers at State Col- lege, coming from there to Bellefonte to be married. Immediately follow- ing the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. De- Vaux left on a wedding trip and later will go to Pittsburgh to live. ——Wholesale depredations on War gardens in Bellefonte and vicinity have been reported but up to this time the guilty parties have not been apprehended. Robbing war gardens is about as despicable piece of crimi- nal work as any man or woman can be guilty of, and if such thief or thieves are caught we have not the | least doubt but that the court will see i to it that they don’t rob any more , gardens this summer, at least. | ——Subseribe for the “Watchman.” i or she may have to not only sell W.S.

She was a daughter of John and Sarah Foreman and was born in Gregg township. The great- er part of her life, however, was spent in Centre Hall. She was a member of the Reformed church and a faithful attendant when her health would per- mit of her going out. She is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Frank Fore- man, of State College; Robert D., of Centre Hall; J. W., of Farmers Mills; Edward, in Youngstown, Ohio; Pro- thonotary David R. Foreman, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Lyman Smith, and Miss Jane Foreman, of Centre Hall. Funeral services were held at her late home at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning by Rev. R. Raymond Jones, after which burial was made in the Centre Hall cemetery. 3 Il CLEMSON.—Ralph E. Clemson, son of Daniel M. Clemson, of Pitts- burgh, died at the Clemson cottage at Atlantic City at four o’clock luesday morning following a stroke of paraly- sis. He had not been in good health the past year or more and a week or ten days ago went to Atlantic City in the hope that the change would do him good. Owing to the fact that his death was very sudden and unexpect- ed none of the members of his family were with him at the time. Deceased was a son of Daniel M. and Alice Gardner Clemson and was born at Baileyville about thirty years ago. Most of his life, however, had been spent in Pittsburgh. He is sur- vived by his wife and one son, Richard Ernest, aged about nine years. He also leaves his father and one broth- er, John G. Clemson, of Portland, Or- egon. Owing to the fact that his father and step-mother are away on a trip to the Pacific coast arrange- ments for the funeral are unknown. Il Il * HOUCK.— Mrs. Alice Houck, wid- ow of the late John Houck, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Henry Kyle, at Warriorsmark, last Thurs- day morning following a lingering ill- ness. Her maiden name was Alice Ellenberger and she was born near Marengo, this county, over fifty years ago. Surviving her is one daughter, Mrs. Celia Carper, of near Warriors- mark, and the following brothers and sisters: John F. Ellenberger, of Ma- rengo; Mrs. Sarah Patterson and Mrs. Anna Kyle, both of Warriorsmark valley; J. Ross Ellenberger, of Neal- mont; G. Nelson, of Clearfield, and iW. E., of Tyrone. Funeral services .were held at the Ross church at Ma- rengo at 10:30 o’clock last Saturday morning by Rev. H. F. Babcock, after which burial was made in the Ross cemetery. Il I ARNOLD.—Mrs. Gertrude Eliza- beth Arnold, wife of William Arnold, of Runville, passed away on Friday of last ‘Week after Eng for two years with cancer of the stomach. She i was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sum- mers and was born at Snow Shoe In- ' tersection on October 6th, 1865, mak- ing her age 52 years, 9 months and 29 days. She was thrice married, her | first husband being Mr. Furnburg, the | second Mr. Confer and the third and last Mr. Arnold. The latter survives ‘with one daughter, Nora Furnburg, | at home. She also leaves a number of brothers and sisters. Funeral serv- ices were held in the Runville U. B. i church at ten o’clock on Sunday morn- "ing by the pastor, Rev. A. J. Orlidge, | after which burial was made in the | Sand Hill cemetery at Mt. Eagle. il Il VONADA.—Adam H. Vonada, for {years a well known resident of Madi- sonburg, died at noon on Monday fol- lowing an illness of some months with diabetes, aged 67 years, 11 months and 5 days. Surviving him are his wife and four children, namely: Mrs. Harry Miller, of near Madisonburg; Mrs. Frank Swartz, of Clyde, Ohio; Miss Mabel, at home, and Mrs. Jessie Day, of Madisonburg. He also leaves one sister and three brothers, Mrs. Catherine Garbrick, of Zion; Benja- min Vonada, of Jacksonville; Harvey and William, of Zion. Burial was made westerday morning at Madison- burg. = If it wasn’t for the fact that he spends every day at his desk in the rear office of the Bellefonte Trust company we might refer to him as “venerable,” but that would hardly seem in keeping with a man who works eight hours a day, and yet on Monday John P. Harris celebrated his eighty-sixth birthday anniversary; and he didn’t take a vacation while do- ing it but looked after his work as treasurer of the Bellefonte Trust company as usual. Quite a number of friends who knew of his natal day took occasion to call and congratulate him. Mr. Harris is one of Bellefonte’s most remarkable men, and his career as a banker can hardly be equalled by any man in the State. + camer ee Gl + To the Consuming Public.
