Y. M. C. A. Hut, Camp Morrison, Va. November 9, 1918. Editor “Watchman:”— Have been intending to write you 2 letter for some time, but we are kept so busy here that it seems almost im- possible to find enough time for even a limited amount of correspondence. Camp -Morrison is an embarkation camp and so we are not permitted to give out very much information, but there are some things that may be told without overstepping any limita- tions. Our building or hut is of the most modern type, having an auditorium seating 900, stage, moving picture booth, and one of the latest movie machines. This part of the hut is al- so equipped with long writing desks and seats, accommodating about 150 at one time. The other side of the building is called the soeial room, and | is furnished with comfortable rockers, window seats, cushions, cheerful win- dow draperies, magazines, papers, a victrola, good books, more writing desks, and a great open hearth where a blazing log fire gives a feeling of warmth and an atmosphere of home | to the entire room. During the epidemic no meetings were permitted inside, and this order in many camps caused the Y. M. C. A. to suspend almost every activity, but our head secretary is a man not easily defeated, and so he ordered the usual program to be carried on but all meetings to be held outside. All Sunday services, Bible classes, enter- tainments, lectures, boxing matches, and concerts were given in the open air, and the moving picture machine was moved from the booth in the hut to an outside platform every evening and the boys enjoyed the novelty of open air mevies. With our regular program we also spent day after day in the hospital ministering to the needs and the wants of the stricken lads until the crisis of the epidemic had passed. Our hours are long, 6:30 a. m. un- til 10:30 p. m., and the work is not easy, but itis so interesting, and the ‘experiences are so rich and satisfy- ing that one does not mind the stren- mous efforts of a day. “* Men are gachered here from almost every State in the union, and it is in- teresting to note and to study their different habits and characteristics. The fellows from the far west are es- pecially unique, for they seem to be as open and as free as the great prai- ries of the west, and yet as rugged and as strong and as determined as the granite crags of those distant mnountains. i! The personnel of the camp is con- stantly changing, new men coming in, ‘while others “fold their tents, like the Arab, and silently steal away.” This makes organized religious work al- most impossible, however we conduct our classes and meetings with the boys as long as they are here. This week we have scheduled twenty-ome separate Bible classes and meetings, so you may know that such a line-up keeps one busy. It has been my priv- ilege to meet with boys just a few hours before they left for “over there,” and never did I face a more serious and sober-minded lot of men than on those occasions. All denomi- national differences in camp are for- gotten. The men do not want to be fed on dry theological discussions, or bored with tiresome addresses on doc- trinal differences, but they do cry out most eagerly for the real, true reli- gion of the Christ, and for the prac- tical, burning messages from the liv- ing God. In the meetings the men are very free and frank, and if they do not like your address they do not hes- itate to get up and walk right out. So a man’s audience is a splendid ba- rometer as to his effectiveness as a speaker. Last Wednesday evening we had as ‘our concert artist the well known contralto singer, Christine Miller, (Mrs. Daniel Clemson) of Pittsburgh, Pa. She is of exceptional ability, and has been secured by the victrola peo- ple at different times for the purpose of singing for record making. We al- so have Schumann-Heink listed for this month. So you see the men get the very best talent that can be se- cured. And now just a word in regard to the great campaign for war funds. It deserves the unstinted support of every man, woman and child. ‘The more I see of the “Y” in actual operation among the men the more 1 ‘am convinced that they positively could not get along without it. The closing of the war will not affect the work of the “Y” and the other organ- izations, for their greatest efforts will be needed since the actual fighting has ceased and the men become fret- ful and anxious to come back home. 1 read your newsy paper with much interest, and I can tell you that news from good old Centre county is great- ly appreciated. With kindest wishes to all my friends, I am, * Very sincerely. WILSON P. roo mm — Subscribe for the “Watchman.” ARD. IN FLANDERS FIELDS. By Lieut. Cal. John D. McCrae. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fiy, Scarce heard amidst the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe! To you from falling hands we throw The torch. Be sure to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die ‘We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. (Written during the second battle of Ypres, April 1915. the author, Dr. John D. McCrae, eof Montreal, Canada, was killed on duty in Flanders, January 28, 1918). : AMERICA’S ANSWER. By R. W. Lillard. Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead. The fight that ye so bravely led We've taken up. And we will keep True faith with you who lie asleep With each a cross to mark his bed, And poppies blowing overhead, Where once his own life blood ran red. So let your rest be sweet and deep In Flanders fields. Fear not that ye have died for naught. The torch ye threw to us we caught. Ten million hands will hold it high, And Freedom's light shall never die! We've learned the lesson that ye taught In Flanders fields. (Written by an American soldier in the trenches after the death of Liuet. Col McCrae, author of “In Flanders Fields,” and printed in the New York Evening Post). REPORTED KILLED IN ACTION.

But Floyd Horner, at Pleasant Gap Bagged a Twenty-seven and One- half Pound Bird. son of Mr. and George Horner, of Pleasant Gap, the champion wild turkey hunter Friday as he bagged a big gob- bler that weighed just twenty-seven and one-half pounds, a fact that can be vouched for by the Messrs. Noll, as he weighed the bird at their store. Floyd saw but two turkeys and of course shot the biggest one. That was the only one killed on Nittany moun- tain that day, so far as can be learned, although other hunters saw a number of turkeys, estimated to be two fair sized flocks. While only one was got- ten in that section on the first day. of the season George Horner got one on Monday, so that the Horner family have been feasting on wild turkey this week. Down Jacksonville way Roy Harter and Edward Aley each got a turkey, one was brought in at Milesburg and two up at Unionville, both the latter by strange hunters. A stranger got one on Bald Eagle mountain Tuesday, walked right into Bellefonte with it and took the train west. But notwith- standing the fact that few turkeys have been killed hunters can take consola- tion in the fact that there are still some in the mountains. A flock of twenty-nine was seen on the Alleghe- ny mountains last Thursday and so far as known not a hunter has been after the flock up to this writing. : of deer hunters, will not go out this vear. Last year they camped in the Seven mountains but were not success- ful in securing any game and this year they have decided to forego the pleas- ures of the chase. Most of the old hunting parties throughout Pennsvalley and the Bald Eagle will go out to their old camping grounds and naturally anticipate some good sport. According to all réports deer are about as plentiful as in for- mer years and the chances for the or- dinary bag of venison are very good. Out at Runville Carl Poorman and William Good each bagged a turkey on the opening day. At Pine Grove Mills Edgar Hess and Casey Shoemaker each got one, and over at Centre Hall C. M. Arney bagged a thirteen and one- half pound bird. Floyd Horner, a Mrs. was last Centenary Training Conference.

Reports were then heard | from 1nost of the officials of the Chap- i ter and its fifteen auxiliaries. As re- { port after report was submitted and | one heard members, dollars, garments jand surgical dressings numbered by {the thousands and tens of thousands, | the mind was well nigh staggered in {in the attempt to grasp the immensity { of the task performed during the last { fiscal year by our local Chapter and its auxiliaries.

The treasurer, Mr. D. F. Kapp, fol- lowed with the financial report which had been duly audited by a committee consisting of Messrs. J. D. White, F. H, Snyder and M. E. Heberling. Space does not allow us to give the report in detail, but it showed that our district during the past year has raised tocar- ry on the work of our the extraordinary sum of $11,492.60 contributed by State College and its auxiliaries as follows: State College, $6047.27; Snow Shoe, $1867.96; Mill- heim, $898.24: Centre Hall, $846.38; Pine Grove Mills, $410.00; Spring Mills, $271.75; Baileyville, $260.68; Boalshurg, $297.10; Stormstown, $118.00; Lemont, $133.09; Pine Hall, $143.33; Oak Hall, 3uffalo Run, 15; | $21.50; Gatesburg-Marengo, $86.00; Scotia, $62.50; Buffalo Run, $16.00; Centre Line, $14.00.

Read the particulars as published in the New York World, of Sunday, from its special correspondent at Blooming- ton, IlL:. i Bloomington, Ill, Nov. 16.—A ro- mance of the Civil war was climaxed this week in the marriage of James J. Gramley, of Cedarville, and Mrs. Mary Rees, of Lena. They were sweethearts in the early sixties in Centre county, Pennsylvania. Gramley was a school teacher and enlisted in 1862, pledging eternal fealty to the "Girl He Left Behind.” However, after the war, the pair did not meet and each made a different choice of a life partner. Mrs. Rees came west with her husband and set- tled in Monroe, Wis.,, where she lived until the death of her husband a few vears ago, later removing to Lena. Six vears ago, following the death of his wife, Gramley came to Illinois to make his home with his two sons in Lancas- ter. Recently, by accident, he learned that the sweetheart of his youth was still living and not far away. He re- newed his vows and this time the wed- ding bells rang true, the marriage cer- emony being performed by the Rev. J. E. Horner, at the Evangelical parson- age in Cedarville. RL Killed in Fall through Crossloft. Budd Glenn, a well known farmer of College township, was instantly killed last Saturday morning when he fell from the eross loft to the barn floor. The accident happened about 7:30 o'clock. Mr. Glenn was on the cross loft arranging the flooring. He stepped on the end of a loose board and fell through a number of the boards falling on top of him. His brother Harry quickly went to his res- cue and found him dead. The unfortunate man was a son of the late Andrew and Susan Ludwig Glenn and was born at State College in 1863. When’ a lad the family moved onto the farm where he spent all the balance of his life. He was a good far- mer and a splendid citizen in every way. When a young man he united with the Presbyterian church and lived an honorable, consistent life. He never married but is survived by four broth- ers, James and George, of State Col- lege, Harry and Robert, at home. Funeral services were held at his residence at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning by Rev. L. V, Barber, after which burial was made in the Branch cemetery. | Mrs. Henry P.

Prof. Crock- ctt, as chairman of the committer in charge of collecting materials for gas masks reported the shipment of 118 pounds of material, the possession of 200 pounds ready for shipment, and large quantities not yet sent in by the auxiliaries. Professors R. I. Webber and C. C. Harris, who had charge of the firstand second drives for Belgian clothing then made informal reports. Prof. Webber said that last spring he collected and shipped 200 pounds of clothing. Prof. Harris reported that for the second drive we had been allotted 6000 pounds, ‘and that though the clethes already collected had not yet been weighed, he estimated tRkat in this as in other things we had more than exceeded the demand and that about 6000 garments had been contributed.

On Saturday a farm wagon loaded with corn stopped on the street near the Pennsylvania railroad. On the wagon was a venerable tiller of the soil who looked as if he had seen four score years at least. A Bellefonter walked to the wagon, looked at the corn and asked the man how his crop was turning out. “Oh,” he replied, “it’s good and bad; that that ain’t good is bad and the rest is better.” Now how good is his corn? A few days ago John M. Keichline was at the P. R. R. depot talking te Nathan Ichkowitz about his recent purchase of the old Morris coal yard and the latter was bewailing the fact that he couldn’t get a painter to paint his sign. “What are you going to put on it?” asked the ex-’Squire. “Oh, I tink I'll put some letters on it,’’ replied Ichkowitz. Pennsvalley Soldier Heard From. The following letter was received by Mrs. C E. Musser from her son James, who is in service in France: Somewhere in France, Oct. 10. As 1 have a. few moments to spare I will write home again. I am very well and hope the people in Aaronshurg are the same. : Did Sumner leave for France, if so give me his address. When we get our passes to visit perhaps I can go and see him. Tell Ruth I received her let- ter September 19th, but have not got- ten any from you up to this time. I guess the war sounds good for the allies, doesn’t it? When I get home I can tell you people lots of things about France. It is hard to realize that Iam so far from home, but I hope and trust in God that I will be able to get back all right. I know there is always some one praying for us boys. I will write often and you people write me once a week. Your loving son, JAMES. Important.
