Somewhere in France, Aug. 1, 1918. Still alive and well, but dare not write much of interest to you except that the Huns are moving faster than ever toward Germany. But, however fast they are traveling they cannot escape their pursuers, and no small number are being caught. This, I know, you have read in the papers but you know I must fill up my let- ter. I saw Ray Reed the other day. He looks fine but I had no chance to talk with hm. We are having beautiful weather over here. This morning reminded me of one of those beautiful morn- ings back home. I think we will soon be back to see some of those beauti- ful mornings in old Pennsylvania. Sometimes I may not find an op- portunity to write as often as I should on account of moving so much, now that the Huns are on the go, but never worry, for I am o. k., and will look out for “yours truly.” Just remem- ber to have a good Christmas dinner for me for if we get to Berlin before Christmas I will be home. If not, I will eat some weinies and sauerkraut in Berlin. I assure you we are all playing our part in the war. There are no cow- ards nor slackers in any organization on this side of the Atlantic. Some think the Y. M. C. A. workers keep out of the great danger, but such is not the case.. They, too, are playing their part. The courage and tenacity exhibited by Y. M. C. A. workers dur- ing the present German attack have enabled the organization to meet the terrible lists in a manner that reflects great credit on the Red Triangle. Fifty secretaries working with Amer- ican troops on the most exposed por- tions of the front have been constant- ly under shell fire and gas attacks, but the efficiency of the system of distributing supplies has not been in- terrupted. One of the most exposed places was that occupied by W. W. Black, of Illi- nois, and A. W. Peel, of Massachu- setts, who had charge of a canteen in a deserted village near the front line and well within range of the German guns, even of small calibre. During the push the Germans threw some gas shells into the town and the Y. M. C. A. men worked in their gas-masks. Black received slight burns from mus- tard gas. All of the selling in this canteen had to be done at night be- cause no soldiers were allowed to col- lect about the place in daytime. "During the daylight Peel and Black packed cigarettes and chocolate on their backs and carried them to the front-line trenches. They were con- stantly under snipers’ fire on these trips and shells burst all about them. The hut in which these men worked offered no protection from shell-fire and the nearest dug-out was one hun- dred yards away, and this an insecure one. Another man from Massachusetts was a gas victim in the attack. He was carrying supplies on his back to the men in the front-line trenches when caught in the barrage. He showed the greatest coolness and courage and to this fact, doubtless, owes his life. There has been practically no in- terruption of the Y. M. C. A. supply service because of the attack. As soon as the barrage lifted from one of the most exposed points of attack ! a truck loaded with supplies started for even more advanced points. Red Triangle workers, in addition to dis- | tributing canteen goods, have done excellent work in helping the army surgeons. In some cases the huts have been used as temporary dress- ing stations. Two other fellows were for nine hours under shell-fire that partially demolished their hut. the front of the building when the barrage lifted. One fellow was or- dered back for a rest, but the other stuck to his post, giving away the remnants of the stock to the wound- | ed who were brought into the town. RALPH I.

Other Interesting News of Men in the Service. Last week the “Watchman” print- ed the fact that Bruce Stump, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Stump, of Centre Hall, had been reported as among the missing. An interesting incident in connection with the young man’s mil- itary career is told in a letter writ- ten by Sergt. Harry E. Clarke, of Al- toona, to his parents under a recent date. Both were members of Compa- ny G, 110th infantry, and the letter is as follows: “My Dear Dad and Mother: Of course, you all know I was slightly wounded as I stated in my cablegram. Today (Aug. 4), five days since being admitted to the hospital, is the first I have felt capable of writing. “On the morning of the 29th of July, at 8 o'clock, we were ordered to advance against a wood on the far side of the Ourcq. It was machine gun snipers con- cealed in the woods that we had to con- tend with and about 8:30 a. m.,, I got struck with a machine gun bullet in the right calf, it passing through the ankle and protruding out. Orders to retire 200 yards for a barrage were given and I was simply s. e. oO. “Bruce Stump came along and said, “There's one man going back with me or I don’t go back.” He and “Bill” Keller, a runner, picked me up and ran across 150 yards of open wheat fields, swept by machine gun bullets. They then carried me four miles through high explosive shell fire to the first aid station. “From there I came on the the A. M. H. No. 1, near the outskirts of Paris, and be- lieve me, Dad, I owe those Boches some- thing I never did before. Just wait. “If you ever see Bruce's parents, they live at Centre Hall, tell them what Bruce did for me and thank them. They are old and it will make them feel good.” Private Stump’s parents are read- ers of the “Watchman” and we know they will appreciate the fact that their son thus proved himself a hero on the battlefield and was able to res- cue a comrade in distress. It is to be hoped that although he has been reported missing he will yet turn up to render his country more such val- iant service. KINER CURTIS McCLURE REPORTED MISSING. Kiner Curtis McClure, of Snyder- town, was reported “Missing in Ac- tion” in the government bulletin is- sued on Tuesday, August 27th. The young man is a son of Mrs. Amanda C. McClure and had been working in Lock Haven up to the time he was called for service. He left Bellefonte for Camp Meade with the contingent that left on September 14th, 1917, and in April of this year went to Camp Merritt. His letters home from France give no informa- tion as to what service he was in or what unit he was attached to. The last letter received from him bore date of July 8th. . Missing in action means that he might have been taken prisomer and been unable as yet to get back to our lines. He might have been sepa- rated from his unit and Be temporari- ly with ‘another or he might have made the supreme sacrifice. SERGT. STOVER WOUNDED AGAIN. Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Stover, of Penn township, this week received a letter from their son, Gervis E. Stover, a sergeant in the marines in France, saying that he is in the hospital as the result of another wound received in the battle of the Marne. Sergt. Stover was wounded and gassed on April 18th but recovered and rejoin- ed his company only to be wounded a second time. Inasmuch as he was able to write to his parents it is not believed his condition is very serious. CLAIRE DEITRICK ORDERED TO SIBERIA. A card received in Bellefonte on Monday from Claire Deitrick, in France, stated that the organization of engineers of which he is a mem- ber had received orders to prepare to leave for Siberia, a five thousand mile trip. Thomas E. Mayes, train dispatcher onthe Central Railroad of Pennsylva- nia, was on Saturday notified that he had been commissioned a second lieu- tenant of engineers. Mr. Mayes has been anxious to get into the service ever since war was declared. Last March he made application for admis- sion to the engineers. Early in July he was ordered to Pittsburgh for ex- amination. He passed very success- fully and his commission coming to him now is very gratifying. He ex- pects to receive orders to report with- in a week, in the meantime he is clos- ing his home, as Mrs. Mayes, with her little daughter, will go to her home in Johnstown during her hus- band’s absence in service. William F. Bayletts, a former Bellefonte boy, ran into a streak of hard luck recently but overcame it with the help of Uncle Sam. In 1914 he enlisted in the marines and served a term of four years, most of which was along the Atlantic coast, princi- pally South America. He was dis- charged at Norfolk on July 23rd, and went to Altoona, where he had lived before joining the marines. Hardly had he landed there, or on July 29th, when he received a card summoning him in the draft. He immediately telegraphed to Washington for a dis- charge from the draft as he wanted to re-enlist in the marines. He final- ly got the discharge and came to Bellefonte Saturday to see some of his old friends, going direct from here to Philadelphia to re-enlist in the marines, his favorite arm of the service. John Smith, son of ex-Register J. Frank Smith, came home yesterday morning on a thirty-six hour fur- it this year is by laboring hard as'lough. John was one of the first ever. bunch of High school boys to enlist health and getting the very best of in the navy in April, 1917. At New- | port News he took up the study of | the wireless radio system with the re- : sult that he was put in the radio serv- | ice and he has made five trips across the Atlantic and back in a freight transport. John Scholl, Lewis Schad and Thomas Lamb were home from Lan- caster on Saturday and Sunday on brief furloughs. They have about’ ten days of training yet at the Bow-! man Technical Institute and have no idea where they will be sent from there. Herbert Beezer, son of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Beezer, who some time ago took the examination for the navy, passed but unassigned, was ! assigned this week to the Pelham bay, N. Y. training station. According to a cablegram from Col. Asher Miner the artillery bri- gade in which are detachments from : Bellefonte, Lock Haven and Sunbury, has joined the infantry on the firing | line in France. ! Lawrence W. Hile, of Pleasant | Gap, went to Williamsport last Fri- | day, passed a successful examina- | tion and was accepted for service in the navy. | Robert Shortlidge Walker came to | Bellefonte yesterday on a short fur-! lough, expecting to leave for a naval | base in Wales early in the week. William W. Braman, of State Col- lege, was on Monday commissioned a | first lieutenant in the Sanitary corps | of the army. Luther Crissman Wants Letters and |! Papers Mailed to the Boys. . |!

The following interesting letter from Calvin L. Stamm, a former Cen- tre countian and for some months a resident of Bellefonte, will be appre- ciated by many readers of the “Watch- man:” Turkey Foot Lake, Ohio, Aug. 20. While reading the “Watchman” this evening I noticed your account of an aeroplane passing over Centre county with Major Claude K. Rine- hardt - and Lieut. M. S. Cleary, as birdmen. On Wednesday, August 12th, about 12:30 o'clock, they land- ed on the widely-known F. H. Mason farm on Turkey Foot Lake, Summit county, Ohio, of which I am superin- tendent. They ran out of gasoline and seeing this beautiful spot, with its wide-stretching fields and beauti- ful residence, concluded to stop. I got in a car and ran over to where they came down, and learning their wants supplied them with forty gallons of gasoline (with Mr. Mason's consent, of course). Then one of the Mason family, Mrs. Raymond, had me bring them to the mansion where they were served tea and also took a little swim in the lake. At 3:45 p. m. they left for their flight to Dayton, Ohio, and when nearing that place, and while look- ing for a good place to land, Lieut. Cleary fell from the machine and was killed. . It is a very common thing to see airplanes pass over this section. We also see quite a number of diri- gibles, as they are manufuctured by the Goodrich Rubber company, of Ak- ron, Ohio, and all are well tested be- fore being turned over to the govern- ment. In closing I will say that the “Watchman” is a most welcome vis- itor in our home. It reaches us on Monday and we all make a grab for it as soon as it comes. My father, Benjamin Stamm, took the paper from the time it started until his death. Wishing you the best of suc- cess I remain, CALVIN STAMM. ——The postoffice at Axe Mann will be discontinued on September first and all the mail to residents in that locality will be delivered by the rural carrier. ! ler, of China Grove, N.

During his early life he lived in the vicinity of Hublers- | burg but about thirty years ago he located in Milesburg and engaged in the butchering business which he fol- lowed until his health compelled his retirement. : In 1875 he was united in marriage to Miss Jennie McMonigle, of Milroy, who survives with two daughters, Misses Maude and Elsie, both at home. He also leaves two sisters and one brother, namely: Mrs. James Low, of Pasadena, Cal.; Mrs. John Yearick, of Spring township, and Dr. \ S. U.

Auto Accident Near Fish Hatchery. About 4:30 o’clock on Sunday after- noon Charles Wolfe, of Aaronsburg, who had been in Bellefonte seeing his son, Frederick O. Wolfe, one of the national army men, was on his way home accompanied by another gentle- man. At the same time he was driv- ing out the state road Mr. Watson and family, of Lock Haven, drove out the road from the fish hatchery, in- tending to come in the road to Belle- fonte. The latter kept to the right so as to cross to his proper position on the state road, but Mr. Wolfe, evi- dently believing he could pass before Mr. Watson got onto the road, swung to the left and the result was the two cars came together on an angle and ran up over a six foot bank and through a wire fence. Mr. Wolfe was driving a ‘heavy Wylls-Knight car while Mr. Watson was driving a Ford. The heavy impact threw Mr. Watson’s wife and chil- dren from the car but fortunately none of them, or any of the men in either car were hurt. But Mr. Wat- son’s car was badly wrecked. The whole front of it was smashed back to the windshield. Mr. Wolfe man- aged to get his car back onto the road and after a few minor repairs was able to proceed on his journey home. —In a destgctive fire which swept through Calton, Ohio, on Sun- day evening the job printing office of the late R.

Yocum, pastor of the Methodist church, was taken sudden- ly ill at his home Saturday night and his condition became so alarming that he was taken to the hospital. Reports yesterday were to the effect that he has improved considerably. Mr. S. A. McQuistion, whose con- dition has not been favorable for the past several weeks is no better and is confined to bed at his home. { The condition of the venerable Joel Johnson is not improving any. He is gradually growing weaker and little hope of his recovery is entertained. Col. W. R. Teller is quite ill at the Bush house. In fact his condition has been such as to give his friends con- siderable concern. No change is noticed in the condi- tion of Dr. E. S. Dorworth. Reports are to the effect that his vitality is remarkable and he shows little effect from his long confinement in bed. The condition of Mrs. F. W. Crider is giving her friends grave concern. | No improvement in her health is no- | ticeable. that W. C. Cassidy, who went to Canton during | nis Interest in: the Mousa &.
