BOYS IN FRANCE WANT HOME
TOWN PAPER.
A Bellefonte Soldier Tells How The
“Watchman” is appreciated by
the Boys Over There.
Last week the “Watchman” pub-
lished an appeal to the general pub-
lic to contribute money to send their
home paper to the Centre county
boys serving in France. We did it
because we have had numerous let-
ters from Bellefonte boys telling us
how much they appreciated the
“Watchman” which had been sent
them gratuitously. But on and after
November 1st, we will not be permit-
ted to send a free paper even to a
soldier boy, and that is the reason we
published the appeal for contributions
toward a fund that will enable the
boys to get their home paper. Since
the publication of the “Watchman”
last week we received the following
letter from a Bellefonte soldier tell-
ing us how greatly they all appreciate
the home paper and we publish it
with the hope that many “Watchman”
readers will be inspired to contribute
to the fund to send the boys their
home town paper: :
Editor of the “Watchman:”
I was very much surprised a few
days ago when I received four copies
of your paper, the “Democratic
Watchman.” At first, from the writ-
ing I could not think just who they
could be from, but as I had received
a letter from my father just a few
days before and he told me that you
were. goi
“Watchman” each week, then I
thought perhaps it may have been
you who ‘sent them. Today I again
received two copies dated July 26th,
and as it was the same writing, I am
now positive that you are the one
who sent them to me. I write to
thank you for them. Not only am I
thanking you, but there are twenty
other boys from Bellefonte in this
company who are joining me in send-
ing you our thanks, as we certainly
appreciate your kindness in sending
us our home town paper. I wish I
could explain to you just how much
the boys here think of your paper,
for after they have read it, it makes
them feel as though they were at
home again, and they certainly read
everything that is in it, from cover to
cover, and nothing is missed. Harry
Dunlap is sitting here beside me now
reading it, and says that I am not to
forget to tell you that it makes a
great deal of difference among us
when we receive it.
1 would like to write you a long let-
ter and tell you of all the interesting
experiences that we have gone
through since we left Bellefonte, es-
pecially since we left the U. S., for I
could tell you many things that would
be of great interest to you and all the
people at home, but as all our letters
are censored so strictly it is impossi-
ble to tell you the things that I would
like to. But as it is all done for our
own safety we cannot say anything
about it. I wish at least that you
could see the interesting people and
see how they dress and their habits,
for I know that you would never for-
get it, especially since the war is
going on, for now they do not have
everything as they once had, and
must do the best they can on what
they have, and nothing goes to waste
here.
We have seen some of the Belle-
fonte boys since we arrived here, but
there are others that we would like to
see very much, who up to the present
writing we have been unable to lo-
cate. Last week we met Joe Beezer
aad Frank Crissman, and a boy
named Gray, from Milesburg, who
are with the military police. We cer-
tainly were very glad to see them.
We also saw Paul Haag, who is now
in the veterinary corps of one of the
infantry regiments.
John Woods, Pete Saylor and the Ly-
ons boys and Clair Deitrich are near
us but we have been unable to locate
them so far, but hope to in the next
few days.
We are certainly having nice, cool
weather here at the present time. I
think in Bellefonte it is a great deal
warmer now, but we have not been
having such warm weather on this
side, as it has been cool right along.
Well I think I had better close
now; it is beginning to get dark and
as we have no lights I will have to
hurry to get things ready for the
night. Hoping that this finds you in
the very best of health and that you
will continue to send us the paper,
and again thanking you for those you
have sent, I remain,

Other Interesting News of Men in
the Service.
Lieut. Claude W. Smith, one of the
heroes of the Marne, whose exploits
have been told in previous issues of
the “Watchman,” was in Bellefonte
from Saturday morning until Monday
evening, having been given a brief
furlough at the urgent request of
Col. J. L. Spangler to be here for the
opening of the Liberty loan campaign
on Saturday. The Lieutenant was
kept quite busy during his short stay
in Bellefonte. Saturday he took
luncheon at the Bellefonte Academy
and made a brief talk to the students.
Saturday afternoon he was one of the
speakers at the flag raising at the
Titan Metal company (an account of
which is given elsewhere in this pa-
per), and in the evening he was one
of the corps of speakers at the Liber-
ty loan meeting at Millheim.
Most of Sunday he spent in greet-
ing friends and Sunday evening he
spoke in the Methodist church in
Milesburg and was given one of the
biggest receptions ever tendered any
man in that town. Later he spoke in
the Bellefonte Methodist church, after
which he was entertained at the Elks
home. He was busy all day Monday
and that evening left for Camp Meade
where he has been ordered to take
charge of a company for overseas du-
ty. Lieut. Smith is now in excellent
health and has recovered from the
nervousness with which he was affect-
ed when he came to the States sever-
al weeks ago. During his stay in
Bellefonte he had on exhibition in the
window of Blair's jewelry store a
helmet taken from a dead Prussian
officer, one slain by the Lieutenant
after the Hun tried to kill him; a
German bayonet, and Lieut. Smith’s
trench helmet and gas mask. The
helmet bore several marks caused by
exploded shrapnel and the dent of the
Prussian officer’s bullet which he fired
at Lieut. Smith after he had called
“Kamarad.”
Louis A. Hume, son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Hume, of Orviston, is ser-
iously ill in the navy hosptial at
Portsmouth, N. H. He enlisted in the
navy seventeen months ago and for
some time had been serving in the
electrical department on the battle-
ship Texas. He was hurt last June
and sent to the hospital at Ports-
‘mouth. Following his recovery he
was placed in the electrical depart-
ment at the Portsmouth naval school
for the purpose of finishing his course
preparatory to being assigned to a
ship. Lately he was stricken with’
Spanish influenza and in his weaken-
ed condition pneumonia developed.
His parents have been notified that
his condition is very serious and fears
are entertained as to his recovery. .
Mr. Hume is superintendent at the
Orviston brick works and he, his wife !
and the young soldier’s brothers and |
sister have the sympathy of that en-
tire community, as Louis was well
known in that locality and his manly
traits admired by everybody. A
younger brother of Louis, John Hume
Jr., who was the second man to enlist
in Centre county, is now at Camp
Hancock training for an office in the
18th Co., after having served thirteen
months in Panama.
Mrs. Joseph J. Hull has received a
number of letters from her son,
Joseph Hull, since he arrived in
France and one of the things he
would like to have most is reading
matter, both papers and books. He
avers that he is not an adept at
studying French but hopes by the
time the war is over he will be able
to say good-bye in French. In one of
his letter home he tells about an is-
sue of tobacco being served the boys
the day before which consisted of ten
packs of Camel cigarettes, two bags
of Bull Durham and two cans: of
Prince Albert, from which it would
seem as if the boys get a fairly liber-
al allowance of their favorite weed.
Dr. Joseph Helfrich, who has been
stationed at the Y. M. C. A. hospital,
Newport News, Va., since being called
into service by the government, came
home on Sunday on a brief furlough,
expecting to remain two days but
was recalled by a telegram the same
evening, and he took that as meaning
that he was to be sent across at once,
something he has long desired.
BUFFALO RUN BOY
BRAVERY.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hunsinger, of
Buffalo Run valley, last week receiv-
ed a letter from their son, private
George Hunsinger, who is with com-
pany L, Twenty-eighth infantry, in
service in France, enclosing a cita-
tion for bravery from the Major Gen-
eral commanding which must be very
comforting to them. The young man,
who will be nineteen years old on the
12th of October, enlisted in Altoona
in the regular army on April 25th,
1917, and was among the first troops
sent over last summer. He has been
on active duty for months and has
been over the top five or six times
and, though wounded, never informed
his parents of his condition until they
learned it from the citation sent
them, which is as follows:

LIEUT. HENRY KELLER ARRIVES IN
oy NEW YORK.
{ Lieut. Henry Keller, son of Mr. and
| Mrs. Harry Keller, of Bellefonte, who
was wounded at the battle of the
“Marne in France and was invalided
| home, arrived in New York on Wed-
‘ nesday evening and was sent to the
army hospital on Staten Island. Yes-
terday morning he called his parents
on the telephone and had a brief chat
with his mother. While his voice was
a little weak he said he stood the trip
very well. Mrs. Keller will go to New
York to see him as soon as she can
arrange to leave.
Mrs. E. R. Taylor on Monday re-
ceived a card from her husband,
Lieut. “Dick” Taylor, held a prisoner
in Germany, written under date of
: July 80th, in which he says:
“I am in the best of health. I wish
| you would see the Red Cross and ask
. what you are permitted to send me.
Also see Rash Irvin and get him to
, arrange with some tobacco company
to send two pounds Bull Durham
monthly, cigarette papers, shaving
and face soap, and a comb. I had my
hair clipped. I am afraid you will
not see me for some time. Don’t wor-
ry about me. Tell mother I am well.
Love to all, good-bye.”
Inasmuch as the Lieutenant’s first
letter to his wife was written on July
25th and the above card five days lat-
er it looks as if the prisoners over
there are in urgent need of some
things at least. Mrs. Taylor, by the
way, has already sent her husband
two boxes up to the weight limit, but
he hardly has received either of them
yet. She also has received a notice
from the Red Cross that if she de-
sires to send him a Christmas box it
must be sent by October 15th.
D. I. Willard on Monday received
from his son Robert, in service in
France, a German helmet and gas
mask found on the field of battle.
While they may be as serviceable as
those adopted by the American army
they are a great deal more hideous
looking but at that they have no ter-
rors for the Yankee soldier once he
is turned loose and allowed to get at
them.

CAPT. BOAL CITED FOR BRAVERY.
Raymond G. Carroll, the Phiiadel-
phia Public Ledger’s ‘correspondent
in France, on Monday cabled the fact
that a Major General led a company
of his troops in tharging a dense
thicket of woods in the Argonne for-
est to clean them of German machine
gun nests, and with the General were
three members of his staff, one of
whom was Capt. Theodore Davis Boal,
of Boalsburg. The General referred
to was evidently Major General Muir,
of the Keystone division, as it is on
his staff Capt. Boal is serving.
Dr. John Sebring Jr. received a
summons from the Surgeon General's
department in Washington on Wed-
nesday ordering him to report at Bos-
ton immediately, consequently left
for that place yesterday. Though he
was not definitely informed as to the
service that will be required of him
he was given to understand it was
owing to the epidemic of Spanish in-
fluenza raging in the army camps of
that section, and how long his serv-
,ices will be required vill depend en-
tirely on how soon: the epidemic can
be overcome. ;
J. Mac Heinle on Wednesday re-
ceived notice to report at the League
Island navy yard, Philadelphia, on
October 15th for enlistment in the
marines. Mr. Heinle has tried to get
into various branches of the service
for a year or more without success
and recently took the examination for
entrance into the ranks of the ma-
rines with the result that he will be
enlisted.
Carl Deitrick, who is in training
for the tank corps at the Gettysburg
camp, came home on Sunday on a four

GREGG.—Miss Julia Gregg, of
Milesburg, met a very sudden death
on Tuesday morning, but the exact
cause will probably never be known.
She was on her way to attend the
funeral of Mrs. Hanrah Bierly and
when she arrived at the railroad near
the depot a freight train was stand-
ing on the track. She was in the act
of going around it when the passen-
ger train west came along. The train
struck her on the head just back of
the ear and knocked her down and
when she was picked up she was dead.
Some people believe that she had an
attack of heart failure and fell
against the train but that will never
be known.
She was a daughter of Andrew and
Margaret Irvin Gregg and was born
at Potters Bank over eighty-two
years ago. All her life was spent in
Centre county and for ‘many years
past she lived with her sister Susan,
her only survivor, at Milesburg. She
was a member of the Baptist church
and a pious christian woman. The
funeral will be held this afternoon,
burial to be made in the Union cem-
etery, Bellefonte.

ler died at her home at Linden Hall

The funeral will be held on Monday.

several months Harry C. Taylor pass-

seven o'clock on Wednesday evening.
He became afflicted with rheumatism
in August and became so bad that he
could not perform his duties as a
guard at the western penitentiary

ious until about ten days ago when
his heart became affected. He was
taken to the hospital on Wednesday

years but resigned in April, 1916, on
account of his health and accepted a
position as guard at the penitentiary
at Rockview. Quiet and unostenta-
tious he was always careful and con-
scientious in every position he filled
during his life. He was a consistent
member of the Catholic church and a
man who was held in the highest es-
teem by all who knew him. :
In April, 1899, he was united in
marriage to Miss Jennie Howley who
survives with one son, Paul. He also
leaves two brothers, Curtin C,, of
