Dear Ones at Home: —
We are now on the last lap of the
journey to Manila.
In our last letter we left you in Yo-
kohama harbor, waiting for the next
move, which was to Tokyo, where we
erected a field hospital; living the
while in tents and getting up for a
5:30 breakfast. It rained most of the
time and several slight earthquakes
were felt. In 1918 we were packed in
a small place, but we had a floor un-
der us and not fifty-seven varieties of
odors. This is the sum and substance
of my experience to date. “I can en-
dure hardships as well as any one
else, but ah suah does like comforts.”
There were twelve American nurses
and we were put in as supervisors in
charge of the Filipino and Japanese
nurses. The wards each had twenty
cots and looked very nice, while the
operating room, X-ray, etc., were all
entirely equipped. Saturday it was
finished and turned over for inspec-
tion; the Prince Regent coming first,
then a continual flow of all the Jap-
anese dignitaries with quite a few of
the Americans now located here.
Thursday afternoon the Red Cross
sent cars and guides to take us for a
ride through the city parks and Im-
perial grounds. Friday afternoon the
nurses were invited to tea at the Peers
club, which was very beautiful and
where we were the guests of the Mar-
chioness Nabeshini. At three o’clock
Saturday afternoon the hospital was |
formally turned over to the Japanese,
General McCoy making the presenta-
tion speech and a Japanese Minister
of some affairs receiving it for his
people. At four o’clock we went to
Tokyo hotel, had dinner and left at
six on a special train for Yokohama;
the woman’s Alumnae association and
the Y. W. C. A. each having sent us a
bouquet of flowers. ;
Leaving Yokohama Sunday morn-
ing at five o’clock, we arrived at Kobe
(Koby) Monday noon, where elaborate
arrangements for an entertainment
had previously been made. Quite a
delegation of women from the Patri-
otic Society were down to the dock to
greet us and we were then taken in
cars through the city to the park;
chrysanthemum show, through some
Baron’s estate, where we had tea, de-
licious' sandwiches, ice cream and
cake; then for about an hour through
the shopping district and back to the
Oriental hotel for dinner. About half
the Japanese women spoke English,
either having lived in the States or
attended college there. Here we each
were presented with a silk parasol
(Betty’s is lavender and mine is old
rose). At a dinner given the sane
evening the women and officers of our
party were guests of the Governor
and his wife. By the way, one of the
Japanese women is a graduate nurse
of a New York hospital, but was
dressed in the kimono and conspicu-
ously displaying her hospital pin; is
married and has two children, her son
being a student at Trinity College, in
North Carolina.
For the next two days I think I
have a schedule which will save me
writing so much. A special train be-
ing put at the disposal of the relief
party for two days took us first to
Kyoto, where on the first day lunch
was served in a long pavilion in the
park, following which we were taken
in cars out through the country to the
river, then up the river in sampans
(small boats) to the Hot Springs.
After tea in the Major's garden we
left for Kobe and the boat; it had been
a delightful day and the scenery sure-
ly beautiful. The same night we were
guests of Lieut. McCarthy, of the na-
vy, at a most enjoyable Japanese din-
ner.
The following day it was at Nara,
where the deer park is beyond de-
scription. We were met at the station
with rickshaws and taken te the deer
park and had lunch. At 12:40, noon,
they blow a bugle to call the eight
hundred sacred deer for their food; it
was a wonderful sight and as no one
ever molests them, they are as tame
as dogs. Along the street we saw ten
or twelve lepers; surely a pitiful sight.
From there we left at four o’clock for
Osaka, a large thriving city with
many modern buildings. Being met
by cars, we were driven down Theatre
street where cars are never allowed,
and through the Osaka castle, where
people can go only by special permis-
sion, then to the public hall for a de-
licious dinner, after which we were
entertained by Japanese dancing girls,
who were from six to eight years of
age. From there we returned to the
train and boat, each carrying with her
as a gift from the people, a sandal-
wood and lacquer fan. The next day
we pulled out for Nagasaki, arriving
there at noon; so had the remainder
of the day for shopping. The follow-
ing afternoon the Mayor and Gover-
nor entertained the party at the Na-
gasaki hotel; the American Consul,
Mr. Hitchcock, and his wife, being of
the party. Here each of our women
was given a tortoise shell pendant, or
something to hang around your neck
—they are very beautiful.
Thursday we left Japan, never hav-
ing been and never expecting to ever
be so royally entertained again. In
every city they displayed a large
American and Japanese flag in front
of the public buildings; while the
streets were lined with people cheer-
ing loudly and I suppose we looking
just as queer to them as they did to
us.
To us this will always be a memory
of sickness, typhoons, ruins and hard-
ships; but topped off with a very de-
lightful time given by a people from
whom it was least expected.
Manila is next and we know not
what.
Heaps of love to you all,
THE GIRLS. '

Annual Election of Officers for Red
Cross, December 17.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the Red Cross, Monday afternoon, the
committee decided that, hereafter, the
services of the Red Cross nurse will,
of necessity, be confined to Bellefonte
since there was no enrollment of mem-
bers outside. As already announced,
the surplus in the Red Cross treasury
is exhausted and the money from the
last enrollment has been collected
only in Bellefonte so that, much as
the committee regrets to discontinue
the rural service, it is a necessity, ow-
ing to the limited funds available. If
any community or individual desires
the services of the nurse, she can be
secured at the regular Red Cross
rates for nursing service.
A class in Home Hygiene and Care
of the Sick, conducted by the nurse,
Mrs. Merrill Hagan, will begin the
first week in January and is open to
any one wishing to join. The class
will be held once a week, Thursday
afternoons, from three to four o’clock.
A fee of one dollar for the course will
be charged. Application should be
made to Mrs. Hagan, Bell phone 2-J.
The annual election of officers for
the Red Cross will be by popular vote,
December 17th, from 4 to 5 p. m,, in
the W. C. T. U. room, Petrikin hall.
All members enrolled in the 1923 roll
call are entitled to vote and are urged
to do so. The present committee is
Rev. M. DeP. Maynard, Rev. Wilson
P. Ard, Chas. McCurdy, Mrs. McClure
Gamble, Miss Blanchard, Mrs. M. H.
Brouse, Mrs. Chas. Kurtz, Elizabeth
Meek, Mrs. Blanche Schloss, Mrs.
James Seibert, Messrs. Hardman Har-
ris, John Love, Dr. J. L. Seibert and

Monday evening between the Chem-
ical Lime and the Electric Supply, of
the second league, the Chemical Lime |
capturing two games and the Elec-
tric Supply one. The second series
for both leagues will start on Janu-

ceived from the Renovo Y bowling
team and chairman Keichline is en-
deavoring to arrange a match for Fri-
day evening, December 28th, when a
gathering of the league bowlers will
be held. The students team has not
lost a game during the entire series,
due to the excellent bowling and
training that Capt. Jones has given
them.

An Object Lesson,
Christmas Eve
of last year a
large crowd was
gathered about
the community
Christmas tree in
front of the court
house preparing to
sing carols when
the leader stepped upon the platform
and asked “Is Father Downes in the
crowd? If so, will he please go to the
Brockerhoff house?” Next day,
Christmas, it was learned that a
young man born and reared in Belle-
fonte but who had been living for a
short time in another State with his
parents, had wanted to spend Christ-
mas “at home,” and although it seem-
ed inadvisable owing to his ill health,
his parents brought him back. The
journey proved too fatiguing and he -
collapsed shortly after reaching Belle-
fonte. While “Holy Night” and “Lit-
tle Town of Bethlehem” were being
caroled around the beautiful tree top-
ped with its glittering star, symbolic
of the promise given to the world on
Christmas, the life of this young man
was ebbing out.
cap was adjusted against his protest
and mumbling sounds could be heard
even as the prison electrician touch-
ed the button which sent his quiver-
ing soul into eternity.
Damiele was virtually proven to be
a leader of a Black Hand society that
for several years left a trail of death
in its wake throughout western Penn-
sylvania and West Virginia. Murder
after murder was committed until
that entire section was terrorized.
Damiele did no work of any kind but
lived the part of an Italian gentleman,
and his wealth is estimated at over
one hundred thousand dollars.
Then came the morning of May
29th, 1922, when Gabriele Fiore was
found murdered in his home in East
Cannonsburg. County detectives got
(busy and the dastardly crime was
quickly traced to Angelo Fragasso
and Marcentonio Damiele. The evi-
dence against them was overwhelm-
ing and both were convicted. The
, case was carried to the Supreme court
{ and the board of pardons but both de-
; clined to intervene with the judgment
| of the lower court.
! On October 27th the men were
: brought to Rockview by automobile,
{and heavily guarded, their electrocu-
i tion being set for October 29th. But
| at the last moment Fragasso made a
| statement purporting to exonerate
' Damiele from participation in the
murder. A stay was granted to ena-
ble their case to be taken before the
board of pardons a second time, but
again the board refused to interfere,
and the two men paid the penalty of
their crimes on Monday morning. It
might be interesting to add that since
Damiele’s arrest eighteen months ago
not a Black Hand murder has beet
committed in the territory which he
had terrorized for years.
| Both men were attended to the
‘death chair on Monday morning by
i Father O'Hanlon, of State College,
rand the jury was composed of W. B.
Dinsmore and Bert M. Laird, Wash-
| ington county detectives; George
{ Marker, of West Brownsville; Thom-
tas J. Underwood, of California, Pa.,

Centre County Berkshires Show Merit :
at Livestock Show.
W. F. Rishel, of Centre Hall, is one
of the many progressive Berkshire
breeders who last spring presented
two or more Berkshire barrows to
the Pennsylvania State College to be
fed out and shown as a carload exhib-
it at the International livestock expo-
sition, at Chicago, Ill., last week.
The Pennsylvania Breeders Berk-
shire association took this method of
demonstrating to the world that Penn-
sylvania breeds real Berkshires. The
winning of second place in their class
is ample proof of the wisdom of this
step. A similar plan will be followed
next year with hope of even greater
success.
Mr. Rishel’s hogs were outstanding
individuals in the carload, so it was
decided to show these two together
with one other from Sycamore farms,
in the open class for individuals.
The Rishel barrows placed second
and seventh in this class and the three
placed second in the pen of barrows.
The International livestock exhibi-
tion brings together the best breeds
in the United States and Canada, and
it is a real honor to be among the win-
ners in this show.

Shortly before eleven o’clock on

house got considerable of a thrill when
the hall on the first sleeping floor be-
gan to fill up with smoke and the pun-
gent odor of burning wood permeated
to almost every sleeping room. A
hasty examination showed the fire to |
be in the maid’s closet near the head '
of the stairs leading from the lower !
hallway to the first floor. An alarm
quickly brought both fire companies
on the scene and the door of the clos-
et being kept closed the fire was con-
fined to that space, although it had
burned up to the second floor by the
time the firemen got in action. The
flames were easily extinguished with
the chemical apparatus, so that the
damage from water is slight.
According to landlord Daggett the
origin of the fire is inexplicable. The
closet had been locked at 5:30 o’clock
and to the best of his knowledge not
opened after that hour. There are no
wires or light in the closet so that the
fire was not caused by a short circuit,
and the only explanation is that mice
or rats might have carried matches
into the closet and in that way start-
ed the fire.

Legion bazaar held in the armory all
of last week J. R. Storch, of Belle-
