The officer was at the front only for observation, but when he heard that a small raid was planned, he begged to be Included in the party. His French guide objected, saying: "My orders are not to gjft you killed." "t hope you carry out your order," replied the American, "but I have been Instructed to see just as much as I can." He won his point and made the trip over No Mans Land to a close-lying trench. The German was subdued when prodded In the abdomen with an automatic but the captain was anxious to preserve his souvenir in tact. The German was a sergeant.

MONDAY EVENING, formation that he had the honor to be the first German captured by r,n American. He weighed 220 pounds and was the largest German taken on that particular front In more than a month. The attention of the Americans from now., on will be largely devoted to rifle practice. There seems to be some difficulty in procuring ranges. There are now several two-hundred yard rangers but none has yet been constructed for longer work. A location, however, has been found for two fifteen-hundred-yard ranges where sniping can be taught. The construction of ranges is dif ficult on account of the labor of digging pits through the rocky soil. In one place half the work was done by the French and left for the Americans to complete. The Sam mees found their side much harder, and indeed the work of getting the pick through seemed so arduous that the ofTicer ordered his men to quit the job. A general arrived.' "I'm not going to have any of my men say 'can't' while the French can hear them," he said. And the work was carried to completion. Shipping Board Asks Another Billion; Six Million Tons New Aim Washington, Aug;. 13.—After ap proving contracts for more than one hundred and twenty-five vessels, to cost upward of $100,000,000 its biggest single day's work—the Gov ernment Shipping Board has declin ed to ask Congress for an aditlonal appropriation of nearly a billion dollars. It was announced last night that of the approved contracts Chairman Hurley, before leaving for Atlantic City, signed for fifty vessels, aggre gating 200,000 tons, to cost $25,000,- 000. The other contracts will be signed next week. The shipping program will be more tremendous than ever dream ed. Instead of 3,000,000 tons the first year, double this tonnage will be attempted. The new estimates to be submitted to Congress shortly will cover plans for fabricating a standardized steel cargo carrier of about 7,500 tons capacity, which can be turned out by the hundreds in the country's big steel plants and assembled at the seashore. The board's contracts already let will consume most of the $750,000,- 000 orginally appropriated. Chair man Hurley and Admiral Capps are confident Congress will provide the necessary additional moneys. Well-known Speakers at Mt.

City Manager Plan Up Again in Altoona Altoona, Pa., Aug: 13.—The prop osition for a trial of the city manager is still being pressed. It is probable that a committee of fifty-eight citi zens, two of them from each precinct in the city, will recommend four candidates on that issue. They will consist as is now heard of two prom inent merchants standing for the business interests and two working men, representing the wage earners, men representing the wage-earners. 1 make a strong combination to be backed by a platform assuring ef ficiency in city government. On the other hand many residents are said to not be willing to adopt such a plan of conducting municipal affairs. The present commissioners, it is understood, may seek re-election and appeal to the conservative ele ment to not make a change at this time advancing among other rea sons that it is proving too expensive elsewhere and to await developments to see if such form of government is succesful well re now being used before adopting it here.

Aug. 13.—A crowd estimated at fifteen thousand, from all parts of Eastern and Central Pennsylvania congregated yesterday. A fair proportion was attracted by a campmeetlng, but the majority visited the camp of the Pennsylvania auxiliary units between services. There were over four hundred bug gies and carriages and about two thousand automobiles parked In var ious sections of the military reser vation. The day was given over almost entirely to the entertainment of guests and only the most perfunctory rountlne was imposed upon the soldiers. Uniforms, huts,leggings,shoes, un derwear and other supplies were is sued yesterday to the enlisted men of the military police and yesterday afternoon, after the apparel had been donned, Captain Henry Crofut, commander of the Philadelphia Com pany, and Captain J. Clyde Miller, commander of the Pittsburgh Com pany, made an inspection of their respective command# for the first time in full uniform. Allen Bids Farewell Captain Charles Allen, U. S.

Centuries later, as Grace Leslie, the princess meets the reincarnated spirit of the shepherd I and they discover that each of them possesses a half of the scarab, and although they are not aware of the fnct that they have known each other centuries before, they marry, thus ful filling their destiny end accomplishing the mission of the mystic scarab.

The headline act will be furnished by H. D. Berg, a producer of national reputation, who will offer his latest production, "An Heir For a Night," a miniature musical comedy with laughs galore. Arthur West, comedian; Cecil Renard, ingenue, and Fred J. Ray mond, Jr., juvenile, are the principal characters in the farce, and they are supported by a "Ziegfleldian" beauty chorus. The fetage settings and cos tuming of the act are said to be two of the most prominent features, while a quaint humor that runs through the entire piece, puts it in a class by itself when compared with the average girl act. Others who will be seen with this week's show at the park theater are Mons. Herbert, who presents a most amusing novelty musical offer ing, and Jack Polk, a monologlst, with a new line of funny stories and laugh provoking parodies. In conjunction with the regular vaudeville show, a three-/-eel feature film, entitled. "The King of the Rails," will be shown at each evening per formance. The first reel pictures all the different forms of transportation, beginning with the period when the Indian squaw carried her papoose on her back, up to the final triumph of modern transportation—the electrifi cation of 410 miles of the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad oTer the Rocky Mountains. The second reel shows the construction of one of these monster locomotives of nearly 4,000-horse-power, and the third reel takes the audience on a 200-mile ride through the American Alps on the front end of the electric locomotive On Thursday evening there will be a free fireworks display at Paxtang and the park management promises to make this display gorgeous enough to make up for the exhibition that was prevented by bad weather last Thurs day evening.

Renewed emphasis was laid by Provost Marshal General Crowder yesterday upon the fact that Congress framed the army draft law In the interest of the na tion. not of the Individual. For that reason the lines arc being drawn tight In the matter of exemptions. There has been much discussion of the exemption problem, based on an erroneous view of the law's purpose, which assumed that married men. for instance, would be exempted without question. General Crowder has taken the po sition In recent rulings that married men will be exempted only when it is to the interest of the Government that they should be excused from service. If the removal of the drafted man from his family circle probably would result In the family becoming a public burden, it is to the interest of the Government to leave him In his civil occupation, so as not to care for his dependents. An interpretation similarly rigid has now been placed upon exemptions for Industrial reasons. An employer seeking exemption for a man he con siders indispensable must first make a showing in regard to that business. He must prove to the board's satisfac tion that his Industry is necessary to the public interest or to the mainte nance of the military establishment, and supplement this showing with af fidavits stating that the particular in- A\. - jmlb MI BRK HHP!

German Wireless Station Seized Off Mexican Coast Mexico City, Aug. 13.—What is be lieved to have been a.German Infor mation forwarding station has been discovered by Mexican officials on Lobiz Island, a lighthouse station off the Mexican coast northeast of Tux pam. The Mexican authorities be lieve the station might have been con verted into a submarine or naval base had It not been located by them. The government recently decided to place a wireless station on Loblz Island, and when Manuel Rodri'quez Guitierez, subsecretary of communica tions. went to Tampico on a trip of inspection, he sent Alberto Mendez. chief of the Wireless Department of Communications, to the island. On his arrival at the island Mendez found a complete wireless plant in operation. It had been built by the lighthouse keeper, who formerly was a mechanic. He was unable to give a satisfactory account of how he obtained the wire less apparatus and he was placed under arrest. Mendez also learned that a launch which had made the island its head quarters had been carrying supplies, arms anil ammunition to rebels on the mainland, who had been Interrupting traffic around Tuxpam and Interfering with the oil business.
