Dear Cousin: Received your letter several days age and will now try to answer it, but it is a pretty hard proposition, as the censorship is so strict that one | cannot say very much or it will be cut out. We had a very pleasant voyage over the “big pond.” We were on the wa- ter twelve days and I was not at all seasick. In fact, I think the salt water breeze did me good, as I never felt better in my life. We arrived at Liverpool, England, then journeyed by rail to the English channel where we again boarded a boat and sailed to France. After arriving in this country we again entrained and rode for twenty-four hours which landed us in Vannes, which is about eight miles from our camp. There we transferred to another train which carried us the remainder of the dis- tance. In England we traveled in third ! enough to keep us in good fighting CASSIDY.—Major Robert A.

Some of them were very exciting, but as I cannot write them in a letter I will have to wait and tell them personal- ly when I get back home. I was out last night helping a French peasant farmer make hay. It is funny how they do some things here. The majority of them cut the grass with a scythe, although a few farmers have mowing machines about the same as ours, only they are pulled by one horse and cut a swath but 2% feet wide. The hay is all raked by hand with wooden rakes ! and is hauled on a one horse, two wheeled cart. They put about three- fourths of a ton on a load. The houses and barns are all one building, in many cases one must go through the cow stable to get into the living room. They cook, eat, sleep and live all in one room. For beds they have arrangements which look like berths in a sleeping car. They cook in an open fire place. Their shoes are made of wood, or leather uppers and wooden soles. They have nothing but brown bread, which is made from rye flour. The flour is made by grinding the whole grain on old stone burrs. The above conditions do not prevail all over France, but only among the poorer peasant farmers. The French peo- ple tell us that we are in the poorest section of the country: Believe me, I miss my Fatima cigarettes. It is almost impossible to buy American cigarettes and choc- olates here. Occasionally we can get a few packs of good old U. S. cigar- ettes and chocolates. American mag- azines cannot be had at all, and I can only read the pictures in the French magazines I had a box from mother the other day containing cigarettes, tobacco, chocolate bars and fudge, and believe me I was glad to get it. As it is drill time now will have to close. WILLIAM H. ROYER, 109th Field Artillery, A. E. F. Ferguson Township Boy Writes of Life in France. Somewhere in France, July 12. Owing to the strict censorship of all mail it is not any easy matter to write an interesting letter. Our voy- age over was very nice, without any excitement whatever. During our first two nights in France there was a little excitement in the air, but it did not last long either night. No doubt you people back home had a glorious Fourth. We were suppos- ed to have but were called upon to take a long hike which sort of spoiled our vacation. At present we are bil- leted in a small village and receive the best of treatment from the inhab- itants. I am learning a little French each day and hope to be able to speak it by the time I get back home. This is sure some life. Plenty to eat, plenty of fresh air and plenty of exercise, which is enough to insure good health, which we all are enjoy- ing at the present time. Thus far none of us have been sick which, of today: Breakfast—OQOatmeal, bacon, eggs, bread and butter. Dinner—Roast beef with brown gravy, mashed potatoes, bread and butter and coffee. Supper—Beefsteak, browned pota- toes, tomatoes, bread and butter and coffee. The boys have on their gas masks and I am writing with mine on, which is quite a difficult task. We have one hour of this each day to fit us for all emergencies. Private RALPH I. DUNLAP, 107th Machine Gun Battalion. coo Interesting News of Men in the Service. Just one hundred and eighty-eight men who have been in training at State College the past six weeks left Monday morning for Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. C. The contingent was to have moved the latter part of last week but failed to get their uniforms | and were held over several days in the hope that the uniforms would ar- rive. And the irony of fate hung over them to the last, for while they left Bellefonte about 9:30 o’clock on the train west the train that pulled into Bellefonte at 9:50 brought the delayed uniforms, but they were twenty minutes too late and had to be forwarded to Camp Jackson. Dr. S. M. Huff, who last week re- ceived notice that he had been re- commissioned a major in the Pennsyl- vania medical reserve, has received notice to report to Fort Niagara the last week in the month. Dr. M. W. Reed, who some time ago offered his services to the govern- ment, received his commission as a captain last week in the Pennsylva- nia medical reserve and on Tuesday afternoon took his departure for Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala., where he will be stationed until fur- ther orders. During his absence Dr. W. U. Irwin, of Unionville, will have charge of his practice. ‘the latter will move his family to Bellefonte and he will take over Dr. Reed’s office in the Masonic Temple. John W. Harper, who has been at an officer’s training camp in New York, came home on Sunday on a brief furlough. He will return today, expecting to be sent next week to Camp Doniphan, Ft. Sill, Okla. Ogden B Malin, who recently com- pleted his training at the Aberdeen | march to rejoin his regiment he suf- | fered a sunstroke and was forbidden | to go forward. Shortly afterwards: | he was transferred to the Veteran Re- serve corps in which he served until discharged at Elmira, N. Y., on July 20th, 1865. After his discharge he returned to Bellefonte and became associated again with W. W. Brown in his news- paper work. He remained here a few vears then went to Canton, Ohio, and started a paper which he sold some years afterward. In 1887 he came to | Bellefonte and with James A. Fied- ler started the Keystone Gazette. He | remained here only a few years when | he sold his interest in the paper to | DANNLEY.—Brief mention was made in last week’s “Watchman” of | the death of Mrs. Margaret Dennis Dannley, at her home in Pine Grove Mills, last Wednesday afternoon after suffering for three years or more with a fractured hip. She was a daughter of John and Susan Bloom Dennis, early settlers of Potter township, and was born near Tusseyville on October 24th, 1829, hence had attained the venerable age of 88 years, 10 months and 13 days. When she was but a girl the family moved to Pine Grove Mills and in the autumn of 1848 she was united in marriage to George Dannley and they began housekeeping in the home * ventilation. where she lived continuously until. her death. At the age of twelve years she became a member of the Reform- ' ed church and was always a most ac- tive worker in all lines of church ac- tivities. She had also the distinction of being the oldest member of her chosen church in that vicinity. She was possesed of a sweet, sunshiny na- ture, the kind that it was a pleasure to associate with. Mr. Dannley died in April, 1900, and notwithstanding the fact that she felt her loss most keenly she took charge of the home and willingly assumed the burden laid upon her. She was a most con- siderate and loving mother and was always deeply interested in the suc- i cess of her children, and was reward- ed in living to see them all comforta- During her long illness she was tenderly cared for by her two daughters, Sue and Sadie: She was the mother of nine chil- dren, eight of whom survive, as fol- lows: Mordecai, Charles and John D., living in Ohio; Mrs. Margaret Moore, of State College; Mrs. John Fortney, of Boalsburg; Mrs. S. S. McCormick, of Hublersburg; Misses Susan and Sadie, at home. She also leaves two brothers, Samuel B. and David L. Dennis, both of Pine Grove Mills. She leaves twelve grand and nine great grand-children. Funeral services were held in the Reformed church at two o’clock on Saturday afternoon. Rev. S. C. Sto- ver officiated and was assisted by Rev.

During his residence in Canton he frequently visited Belle- fonte and often expressed the hope | that some time he could return here to end his days among the scenes of his young manhood.

A. | work overseas and will arrange his affairs so as to sail on or about Sep- tember 23rd. Some days ago Harold Bucher, of Watsontown, who was wounded on the head and arm while serving with the 103rd engineers in France and! had been sent home as an instructor at Camp Humphries, visited State College and while there was met at the Nittany Inn by Supt. D. 0. Et- ters. The latter spoke to him and in- cidentally mentioned the fact that he had a son overseas. Mr. Bucher in- quired the name and when told that it was David Etters he was very much surprised as he knew him well. He also told Supt. Etters that his son had been taken prisoner by the Germans on December 23rd, but early in the year had managed to escape with sev- | eral companions and make his way | back to his company. His escape must have been carried out in Janu- ary as his family received a letter from him dated February bth, in which he referred to the fact that the reason he had not written for some time was because he had no paper. He never mentioned having been a' prisoner, however. Among the American soldiers in- valided home is Ira Cowdrick son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cowdrick, of Niagara Falls, but formerly of Belle- fonte. He was driving a truck to the front line when a shell exploded near- ‘by blowing off his gas mask with the result that he got a bad dose of gas. He is now at General Hospital No. | 16, West Haven, Conn. Young, a well known retired farmer of Nittany valley died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Myra Fletcher near Nittany, on Tuesday as the re- t sult of a stroke of apoplexy, though i he had been in poor health for several years. He was a son of William and Ra- chael Derr Young and was born on July 28th, 1835, making his age 83 years and 15 days. He served during the Civil war as a member of the For- ty-fifth regiment and was a brave and fearless soldier- Returning from the war he engaged in farming and was quite successful, being among ! the substantial citizens of Nittany valley. Mrs. Young died some years ago but surviving him are one son and four daughters, namely: Arthur C. Young, of Mill Hall; Mrs. George Harpster, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Mary Patterson, of Lock Haven; Mrs. Sam- uel Weaver, of McKeesport, and Mrs. Myra Pletcher, of Nittany. He also leaves three sisters and two brothers, | as follows: Mrs. Jennie Black, of Port Allegheny; Mrs. Catharine Ly- on, of Lyontown; Mrs. John Klinger, | at his funeral on July 27th were Dr. E. H. Yocum, of Bellefonte; Rev. W. A. Lepley, Milesburg; Dr. E. R. Heck- . man, district superintendent of the Altoona district; Rev. C. C. Shuey, of Bellefonte; Rev. M. C. Piper, Miles- burg; Rev. George M. Glenn and Rev. H. F. Babcock, of Stormstown. The remains were laid to rest in Gray's cemetery. ll Il RIPKA.—Following an illness of almost a year with a complication of diseases Mrs. Sarah Gentzel Ripka, wife of Daniel Ripka, died at her home in Spring Mills last Sunday morning, aged seventy-two years. She was a life-long member of the Evangelical church, and had the esteem of all who knew her. Surviving her are her husband and four children, namely: Mrs. J. E. Kustaborder, of Bellwood; Mrs. Jo- seph Confer, Benjamin and Elmer, of Spring Mills. She also leaves two brothers, George Gentzel, of Spring Mills, and Henry, of York. Rev. A. L. Miller, her pastor, had charge of the funeral services which were held Thursday morning at the Lutheran church, Georges valley, after which interment was made in the Georges valley cemetery. Il FREEZE.—John Freeze, an old sol- dier of the Civil war, died at his home in Boggs township, on Wednesday of last week, aged 81 years and 2 days. He enlisted for the Civil war on Aug- ust 8th, 1862, in the famous 148th regiment, and fought in many battles, one of the principal ones being Get- tysburg. He was mustered out of service on July 27th, 1865. Funeral services were held in the Advent church on the Divide last Friday morning by Rev. W. A. Lepley, of Milesburg, after which burial was made in the Advent cemetery. Young Men Must Register August 24th. All male persons in Centre county of Bellefonte; C. TL.

Mr. LeBarre went away | several weeks ago in his own car, a | Ford, equipped with every conven- | ience he could find place for. About | ten days ago he went into the Harris- | burg club with several of his business | associates and when they came out of the club they found his car among ; the missing. He hunted for it high | and low but was unable to get any | trace of it. The matter was reported to the police and several days later the car was found down near Leba- non. But about all that remained of it was the chassis and body. It had’ literally been stripped clean of every equipment, Mr. LeBarre’s rain coat also having been taken. ——1In last week’s paper we men- tioned the fact that Mrs. Joseph Un- | dercoffer had been the victim of an accident at Olean, N. Y., while trans- | ferring from one railroad to another.’ A letter received by her husband this week conveyed the cheerful intelli-. gence that she was getting along all right and would make her visit before returning home. Mr. Undercoffer also received information from the transfer company that they would pay all doctors and hospital bills.
