"FOGHORN"CLAIMS
IS SREAT MAN
Scotch as Oatmeal, but Is Best
Known Fellow in Cana
dian Ranks
London, Dec. 9.—(Correspondence !
Df the Associated Press.)—" Foghorn"
McDonald admits he's as "Scotch as
oatmeal," but what he doesn't have
to admit is that he is beyond doubt
the best known man in the wonderful
big army Canada has sent over to s
fight for the mother country. Gen.
Sir Sam Hughes, Canadian .Minister
of Militia and Defense, is not jealous j
of "Foghorn's" distinction. The rawest ■
rookie i the rearmost ranks of the ;
Dominion forces proclaim it on the
fighting line, and looks up to this
world-wandering scion of the clan Mc- ]
Donald i>s a shining example of wnat
ti lowly "buck" can do in trying times
like these.
For "Foghorn" came over as a prl-|
vate himself just two short years ago.
Some of his home folks told him he
Was a "darned old fool" to enlist at
t>3. But "Foghorn" had been a miner
nil his days. He had hit the western
trail from sunbaked Batoppilas in the
wilds of Mexico, to the snow-shroud- ,
ed valleys of the Yukon, and he knew
what perserverance and pluck and
courage and sacrifice could do.
He knew he would "make the
grade," and so did 3 great crowd of
his friends who gathered a day or two
ago to "wet" that new third stripe and
crown on the cuffs of his khaki army j
jacket. He was back from the front 1

MONDAY EVENING,
1 to receive this latest promotion ,and
j he was toasted a major of His Ma
] jesty's forces.
i "Foghorn" was born Neil Roderick
McDonald, but there are comparative-
I ly few who know him by that distin
guished name. It's just plain Fog
horn nowadays from one end of the
trenches to the other, and one earful
of that low rumbllnfi window-shatter
' ing, rock-shivering voice explodes any
possible doubt as to the derivation of
the nickname.
There are plenty of Germans who
know "Foghorn." too. In the days
Jof the deathly deadlock, when
trenches crept closer and closer to
gether, lie was one of those who bur
rowed beneath the earth and set off
great mines under the enemy. He
had not been a mining engineer in
vain. Often his voice would go boom
! ing across "No Man's Land" hurling
picturesque invective at the Germans, j
Big Personality.
Xot to know "Foghorn" McDonald:
j is to miss one of the big human per- !
' sonalities of this war. It is not diffi
cult to realize what a tower of en
| couragement and strength he is to the
' soldiers at the front.
| "He is the sort of officer whose men
; would follow him to the gates of hell
| itself and walk in laughing." de
j dared Major "Eddie" Holland, a
| long-time friend, and a "V. C." of the
South American war.
"And speaking of hell," he added,
| "there may or may not be something
in the fact that Foghorn belongs to
i the Black Devils."
1 That is the name the Germans have
given the Eighth Battalion, Canadian
Infantry, and the battalion has adopt
ed as its insignia a small black imp
dancing in glee. They were delighted
with the anellation. and are living up
to it according to all reports from the
Somme.
Xot Afraid of Any Man.
I It has been said of "Foghorn" that
I "he's not afraid of any man—and very
few women." His home is in the
i great American west. He has lived
| much in the L'nited States and almost!
j every province in Canada can claim ]
, him as her own. His heart is as big 1
} as the world in which he has lived;!
I and ho has a way of calling a su-!
| perior officer "Bill." or "Jim," orj
j "George," and referring to a cor-
I poral as a "Brother officer" that is
j ijuite baffling to the Englishman's'
ideus of discipline. Someone spoke j
to "Fog" about it.
"Well, sir." he explained, "it's a
| man's war, by God, sir, and I respect
; every mother's son who's out there
1 doing his bit. I was a full-fledged
! 'buck' myself once, and I know what
; they have to go through."
1 "Foghorn" has been serving for
1 some time as transport officer of the
i "Black Devils" and has been riding
i about the front lines on what he des
cribes himself as "a mighty fine hoss."
Where he got the horse he will not
| tell you. "It wouldn't be passed by
the censor," he says.
A good transport officer this to

keep his losses at a minimum and to
make the deficiencies good as quick
ly as lie can. "Foghorn" had his men
in the Black Devils trained to the
minute in that respect.
"One night," he said, "we were tak
ing some loads of ammunition away
up in front. It was blacker than the
ace of spades and if you struck a
match you'd get your eye shot out.
But in the midst of all this blackness
and the shelling we were getting, I
heard one of my men say to his part
ner: "Keep your eye out for a good
hoss, Bill, this ought to be a good
night to get one.'"
London Too Quiet.
"Foghorn" served for a time as an
officer in the United States army—the
Third Volunteer Cavalry of the Span
ish war.
"I think the officer commanding our
regiment had fifteen or twenty mil
lion dollars," said "Foghorn;" "I had
a dollar and thhty-flve cents myself."
A day or two ago a staff colonel,
fresh from Canada, walked into the
Savoy "Club."
"Hellow, Foghorn," he called out;
"I heard you a couple of blocks down
the street and came in to see you.
Do you remember me?"
"Remember you?" repeated "Fog,"
"why bless your brass-hatted old soul,
I'd know your hide in a tan-yard."
A "brass hat" is the ariiiv name
for all stafT officers, and it comes, of
course, from the abundance of gold
braid they wear on their caps.
Some one asked how things were
going at the front.
"Goin," said "Fog:" "whv the boys
are getting so gay out there one of
our battalions came parading up to
the front line trenthes the other day
with a brass band playing for all it
was worth. They were right where
you could get killed any minute, too,
and even my old hoss thought they
were crazy.
"Guess I'll be getting back to the
front myself." he concluded with a
sigh; "this quiet life of London is get
ing on my nerves."
Federal Trade Commissioner
Here Wednesday to Speak
Before Commerce Chamber
Edward JC. Hurley, chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission, will ad
dress the membership luncheon of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce at
noon on Wednesday. He is the man
whom Charles M. Schwab said he
would be willing to have fix the price
the Navy Department should pay the
Bethlehem Steel Company for armor
plate when the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany was opposing the bill to create
a government armor plate mill.
Mr. Hurley is not only head of that
branch of the government that has
more to do with business than any
other body and inspiring speaker. He
qualified himself for his present posi
tion by obtaining great success in busi
ness. Sir. Hurley is one of the most
successful manufacturers in Illinois
and before coming with the govern
ment was president of the Illinois
Manufacturers' Association, the most
successful manufacturers' association
in the country. His income is approxl
mately $500,000 per year.
It is expected that Mr. Hurlev In
his address will make a strong plea
for the passage by Congress of laws
that wiU largely repeal the present
anti-trust laws, especially insofar as
they relate to foreign business, and
leave the prevention of improper trust
methods in the hands of the Federal
Trade Commission.
The small retailer and manufacturer
is just as much Interested in Mr. Hur
ley's ideas and suggestions as the big
gest businessmen in the country, be
cause they affect him directly.

Baldwin Plant to Build Large
Type Locomotive For Bus
sian Government
Philadelphia, Dec. 11.—An order for j
one hundred locomotives for Russia to j
cost in the neighborhood of $3,700,000, j
has been closed by the Baldwin Loco- 1
motive Works. Confirmation to this j
effect was given yesterday by Alba 13.
Johnson, president of the Baldwin com
pany. This is the second Russian con
tract closed in the last month for a
total of 140 locomotives at an approxi
mate cost of $5,000,000.
The locomotives are large type
freight engines and delivery will be
made in the tirst half of next year.
I.arxe Orders From lluunlit
: Tiie Russian locomotive business of
! Baldwin's has been unusually heavy j
j since the Kali of 1915. One order alone j
last year called for 250 large freight I
engines, while it is understood the 1
company built more than 1,000 of the !
trench type to be used in hauling mu-j
nitions and supplies along the eastern!
front.
A few months ago It became known
that Russia decided upon the purchase !
of 1,000 freight engines in the United)
1 States, to be divided between the Bald- j
win company, the American Locomo- j
live Company and the Lima Locomotive
Works, and the present order is a !
part of this program.

Altoona, Pa., Dec. 11.—A freight loco
motive of a new design, the largest ever
built by the Pennsylvania Railroad, has
Just been completed at the company's !
Juniata shops here. This week it will j
undergo the first of a series of tests !
to ascertain Its power and usefulness. |
It is known as a "decapod" locomo- :
tive; the other words, something hav-|
ing ten feet. The name is given be- j
cause it has five full pairs of driving !
wheels, one more pair than any other'
ever built for its own use by the com- |
pany. This is its most distinguishing
feature. Another is it will carry 250
pounds of steam. The largest type of
freight engine now in use carries only
205 pounds of steam.

Many Challenged
Courtroom No. 1 was crowded with
spectators all day and the bar enclos
ure was pretty well filled with attor
neys. Some of the latter who are
interested in one or another of the six
other homicide trials listed for this
week, carefully watched the choice of
the jurors. And many a lawyer com
mented on the unusual number of
challenges "for cause" which were
promptly sustained by the court. As
a rule these challenges were because
the talesmen had "decidedly fixed
opinions" on the question of the de
fendant's guilt—and they coolly de
clared that it would require the weight
of evidence to change their ppinions.

he rose in his chair in answer to Pro

MUCH FIGHTING
French Heroes of Nearly All
Ages Have Fought
Here
Paris, Nov. S. (Correspondence of
The Associated Press.) —The Allies
are creeping closer to Bapaume every
day and bringing nearer the eventual
ity of another great battle there
where French heroes of nearly all
the ages have fought. The town has
seen almost as much war au Peronne.
General Fnidlierbe gained there
January 3, 1871, one of the few
French victories of the Fra.nco-Prus
sian war, defeating General von Goe
beir.
The possession of the town had pre
viously been disputed a half dozen
times, besieged two or three, and
sacked once. Louis XI besieged it,
took it, and destroyed it. Charles
Quint restored it. Francis I besieged
it and took it. It fell later into the
hands of the Spaniards from whom
It was taken and made French by de
la Meilleraye, marshal of France in
1645, with the aid of the musketeers
of d'Artagnan and the Gascony cadets
of Cyrano de Bergerac.
For the Germanic coalition today
as for the Prussians in 1870 and the
Spaniards in 16 41, Bopaunie is a posi
tion of vital importance; it marks
thii limit of the last ridge of the Ar
tols hills to which an army pressed
from the south and west can cling; aft
er Bapaume come the plains of Flan
ders with Cambrai, Valenciennes and
Douai in plain sight. Bapaume
taken, Perrotie becomes untenable and
Saint Quentln an unsafe shelter for
the German staff.
The Germans certainly appreciate
the value of the posttion no less than
did Charles Quint and the Spaniards,
and they have organized it according
ly, but the French 16-inch mortars
are now almost within range of the
town.
It was at a critical period of the
30 years war that Bapaume became
French. M. de la Meilleraye had
probably more to do with its con
quest than either d'Artagnan of Cy
rano, but there was less romance in
his role.

after the famous siege, then turned
to Bapaume, called "the key to
Flanders." There are many analogies
between his campaign and that of the
Allies to-day. To-day, as then, the peo
ple are finding the war "long." Then,
as today, parlor military critics pick
ed out the flaws in the plans and com
plained of slowness and lack of en
ergy in executing them. The army
of the Hapsfcurgs had dug Itself In
around Bapaume as the Germans aro
dug in there today.
Then, as now, mettlesome soldiers
of France chafed in the trenches. Like
the poilus of 1916 (they wallowed In
and when in the open and waded
waist deep when underground. Mar
shal de la Meilleraye was then, as
have been generals in the present war,
criticized for dilatory tactics, and his
laurels, gained at Arras, had begun
to fade; he saw the shadow of dis
grace falling upon him. Cardinal
Richelieu, impatient and Imperious,
insisted upon greater activity and en
ergy. Then, as to-day, the reply was
"more cannon, more ammunition;"
Richelieu sent more cannon, more
ammunition, with an order to at
tack.
De la Meilleraye assembled his lieu
tenant generals, de Lorgueil and Har
court, in a council of war to decide
whether they should risk the assault.
"I know in the regiment of the
Guard," said M. de Lorguell, "a most
capable officer and a man of spirit
and resources. He came to me lately,
returning from duty, and told mo
something that impressed me. Call
him in, marshal; he will repepat bet
ter than I what he observed."
Taken in Early 110' c
The officer of cadets came In, and
with the accept of Armagnac told
how ho had noticed a portion of the
town wall at the suburb of Saint-
Pierre that was not so well defended
as the rest. "Simulate an attack in
force upon another part of the ram
parts," he said, "and give me a com
pany of my comrades from Gascony:
I promise you I'll get Into the place."
"Well, sir," said the marshal, "I
will send your commission to be sign
ed, but you shall answer for the suc
cess of this audacious venture with
your head."
The following day, January 13,
1f.45, Bapaume was taken by assault,
and the officer who planned and or
ganized the attack and led it to suc
cess earned there one of his titles to
the baton of marshal himself. It was
and many details as to the taking ot
d'Artagnan.
