MUSEUM OF GERMAN CURIOS.
Major Theodore Davis Boal Shipped
Carloads of Captured Relics
Home.
In future years when old comrades
of the war with Germany may have a
longing to see some of the things they
had to fight against in France all they
will need do is travel to the home of
Major Theodore Davis Boal, at Boals-
burg, and make an inspection trip of
his museum. Major Boal has already
sent two car loads of captured relics
home and more are to follow. The
two cars reached the Oak Hall station
on Friday and naturally attracted
considerable attention. The trophies
included several big guns and about |
everything else used by the Germans
in their warfare against the Allies.
The most of them were secured in the
mopping up after the battles of Ap-
remont and the Argonne forest, in
which the 28th division was conspicu-
ously prominent. The cars contain-
ing the war relics arrived unheralded
and the people of Oak Hall were con-
siderably nonplussed asto the mean-
ing thereof. But the final destina-
tion of the captured material was
cleared up by the appearance of Ma- |
jor Wilbur F. Leitzell, of the 107th
machine gun battalion.
Shortly after the machine gunners
arrived at Camp Dix from overseas
last Thursday Major Leitzell was
granted a brief leave of absence and
returned to his home at State College
on Friday. On Saturday he went to
Ozk Hall and directed the unloading
of the war material and its removal
to the Boal home at Boalsburg. Ma-
jor Leitzell returned to Camp Dix on
Sunday to be there for the mustering
out of the battalion which includes in
Company A the men of his original
command, the old Boal machine gun
troop. Major Leitzell already has
promised to secure for State College
as many of the relics as possible for
their welcome home parade on May
30th.
Major Boal has not yet returned
from France but according to reports
he has planned to construct a muse-
um on his estate in which the relics
will be displayed. Additions to the
collection will be made later, and it
ultimately will become the official ex-
hibit of the Pennsylvania troops.
Further plans. contemplate a club-
house at Boalsburg for the officers of
the 28th division, more than 700 of
. whom have formed an organization to
perpetuate the memory of the divis-
ion and its part in the war. -
While no definite arrangements
have been made, it is expected a num-
ber of cottages will be built en the
mountains near Boalshurg, on Major
Boal’s land, for the use of the officers
and their families. He will, it is an-
nounced, develop an extensive hunt-
ing and fishing preserve for the en-
tertainment of the club members, with
the museum and clubhouse as head-
quarters for other visitors who will
come to inspect the relies.
Enlisted men of the division will be
offered the use of many buildings al-
ready on Major Boal’s farm which
were occupied by the Boal Machine
Gun company when it was an inde-
pendent organization, before it be-
came the machine gun troop of the
First Pennsylvania Cavalry. These
buildings and the surrounding coun-
try, much of which is Major Boal’s
property, will be at the disposal of
the soldiers and their families for out-
ings and reunions. The entire pro-
ject looks toward the permaent estab-
lishment of the 2&ih’s future head-
quarters and activities in the moun-
tains of Centre county.
Lieutenant Philip Shoemaker, of the
107th Machine Gun Battalion, who
was invalided home, is now at Boals-
burg preparing the site to house the
war relics until the permanent muse-
um can be erected.

How Soldiers Can Get Mileage Due.
Discharged soldiers, sailors and
marines are now allowed five cents
mileage from the place of their dis-
charge to their homes, or place of
muster into service, instead of 31
cents as formerly. The bill as passed
by Congress is retroactive and as
many seldiers, sailors and marines
were discharged before it became ef-
fective they are entitled to recover
the additional 1] cents, and here is
the way to go about getting it:
An affidavit on government form
which may be obtained from the Di-
rector of Finance, Lemon building,
Washington, D. C., should be filled
out and mailed with the soldiers’ dis-
charge to the Director of Finance,
Travel Allowance Division, Lemon
building, Washington, D. C. A force
is being organized to be increased to
1,000 clerks and although the bonus
checks are not all out as yet, the
mileage vouchers will begin to be
mailed at once.
Discharged sailors may get their
additional mileage upon application
to the Bureau of Navigation, Navy
Department, Washington, D. C.
American Legion Will Meet at Har-
rishurg.
At the St. Louis ‘convention of sol-
diers and sailors of the war with Ger-
many it was decided to hold a nation-
2.00 :
al convention to perfect the organiza-
tion at Minneapelis in November. In
order to give the new organization
‘ the proper official status a meeting
will be held in every State in the
union in September at which dele-
gates will be chosen for the conven-
"tion in Minneapolis. The Pennsylva-
‘nia State convention will be held at
Harrisburg on September 25th, 26th
and 27th, and every soldier or sailor
‘in the State will have an equal vcice
‘in the gathering.
| Merited Reception Given Miss Bertha
Laurie,
Notwithstanding the hard rain last
: Friday evening between three and
| four hundred people attended the re-
| ception given to Miss Bertha Laurie, |
the Y. M. C. A. canteen worker re-
| cently returned from France, by the,
| Young Women’s Missionary society of
. the Presbyterian church.
merited tribute to a Bellefonte wom-
ian who during the past eighteen
| months or more gave all her time to
giving as much comfort and cheer as
| possible to American boys in France. |
| The chapel had been not only beau-
{ tifully but elaborately decorated with
large boughs of dogwood in full
bloom, honeysuckle, lilac, etc., and
presented such a cheerful appearance
{ that one young lady remarked it look-
{ed sweet enough to get married in.
The Academy orchestra furnished the
i principal music for the evening
| though Mrs. Hayes played one or
{ more special piano selections and Miss
Russie Cole sang several solos. The
recejving line was headed by Dr. and
Mrs. W. K. McKinney and next to
them was Miss Laurie, arrayed in her
regular canteen uniform. Mrs. James
A. Beaver and James H. Potter were
also in line.
Miss Laurie was kept too busy re-
ceiving the good wishes of her many
friends and speaking a word of cheer
i to those whose boys she had seen in
France to attempt to make a talk,
even had she felt inclined to do so,
though she frequently expressed her
gratification at ' knowing that her
work abroad had been so thoroughly
appreciated by her friends at home.
Refreshmenws of fruit punch and
cake were served and the evening
proved a very pleasant one for all.
Miss Laurie terminated her visit in
Bellefonte on Wednesday, leaving for
a few days’ stay in Mechanicsburg be-
fore returning to her sister at Cape
May.
Centre County Soldiers Returning
Home Slowly.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
entire Twenty-eighth division has re-
turned home, had its parade in Phila-
delphia and been at Camp Dix for
mustering out ever since, only 2 small
percentage cf the Centre county sol-
diers have returned home. A few of
them have been dribbling in every day,
those who were fortunate to be the
first coritingents mustered out, but the
majority of them are still at Camp
Dix at this writing. In fact the ma-
jority of them may not arrive. home
before tomorrow, and some may even
be delayed until the early part of next
week. But all the boys who have so
bear no traces of the harre
they witnessed in the week
line fighting of the gallant Twenty-
eighth.
In addition to the soldiers of the
28th division who have returned to
this country Dr. David Dale, who
now answers to the title of a lieuten-
ant colonel, arrived in New York ¢n
Saturday and going over to Philadel-
phia, cailed Mrs. Dale on the telephone
to apprise her of his whereabouts.
He has been at Camp Dix this week
and expeeted to be mustered out yes-
terday so as to get home today or to-
MOYrow.

nance service in France and stationed

Big South Jersey Peach Crop Pre-
dicted. .
The biggest peach crop ever har-
vested in South Jersey is the predic-
tion of prominent growers who have
completed a survey of Burlington
county orchards. They assert that
they have never witnessed such a
| heavy set of blossoms and that only in
rare instances were the buds injured
by the freezing weather a fortnight
ago. The prospects of an enormous
crop come as a surprise to growers, as
last vear’s crop was unusually heavy.
\ Disproved.
Mrs. Jones—“Wilful waste makes
woeful want,” they say.
\
Jones—Nonsense! Lots of women
waste their breath talking, but never
seem in want for more.
