SLATES HIS INTERESTING EXPERIENCES ON WAY SOUTH riter of "The Oberver" in the Altoona Tribune Will Keep Harrisburg in Touch With Boys at Camp Hancock; Is Engaged in Y. M. C. A. Work This is the first of a series of aininK camp stories by J. Ed ir Prohyn, who formerly con noted The Observer in the Al ona Tribune and now is in large of the Army Y. Y. M. C. Camjl Hancock. 'ell, here we are again, friends! ood mawnin' to ye, as they say ,ugusta. here's so much to tell we hardly w where to begin, but since first gs should come first, suppose we jack to the day we left Pennsyl ia—almost one week ago. Rom Harrisburg to Washington, had a delightful chat with a well ised gentleman from Los Angeles, i was hurrying to Washington on e important business. That ills business was, we shall er be able to tell, but he proved :harming companion and we ned many things of interest ere train pulled into the wonderful 000,000 Union station. e had been around the world !e times and his impressions of South Sea Islanders, with their iliar customs, were worth liear- He touched on the social system Jew Zealand and said that it was minable —that the New Zealand were heartily tired of it. Then skipped to India and a moment r to Japan and the quaint cus s of the natives were described utely. • owever, he had some peculiar ps concerning the war and his .iments proved so Insinuatingly •German, we began to suspect . Then he switched to the merits lolygamy and advocated the Mor -1 system. We began to feel he ht be an agent bf Senator Smoot he Mormon Church. We put him fix as one of the insidious agents Jermarvy, who quietly cast doubt distrust in the minds of Amer i citizens as to the merit of the in which we have embarked. We e obliged to combat him at every i and we feel certain he is one those un-Americans who would ler see Germany dominate the }d than to have the principles of locracy supreme, o much for the Los Angeles agent he Kaiser and Brigham Young. 7a had about two hours in Wash on and/letermined to pay a visit ome of the magnificent buildings rby. Ve first stopped at the massive jmbus memorial, directly in front the station. This magniflcant pture is deeply imposing. A gi tic figure of the discoverer of erica stands against the mass of nite, his face turned toward the litol building, while huge bronze itains on either side add to the ct. Two lions on either side id guard over Columbus as he ids with folded arms, his mantle wn together over his shoulders, niile standing tnere, we noted ic of the detail of the colossal on station. High over the en ices are legends, and among them one attracted our interest: Hr> that would bring home the Hh of the Indies must carry the Ith of the Indies with him. So it n traveling. A man must carry wledge with Vwm if he would ig home knowledge." Rom the plaza in front of the ion we saw the conical top of Washington monument towering i above all the other structures 50 feet in the air. Nearby the cless towers of the Arlington sta were projecting into the bcauti summer sky. Directly in front -o the beautiful Capitol building, ring 330 feet into the air, the fig of the Goddess of Liberty above dome taking on the appearance in Indian chieftain, he Capitol was closed and we Drunkard's Plea.

Makers f I WEDNESDAY EVENING had a chat with a traffic officer who stood on a dangerous street crossing and kept the unceasing stream of automobiles and pedestrians moving in the right direction. From this courteous official, wn learned that the government will tear down all the buildings now marrlr.g the approach from the Union station to the Capitol, and eventually there will be a broad plazPt, where now the approach Is sadly marred by dilapidated build ings and open fields. Across the street from the oblig ing blue-coated officer stood the im posing Senate office building, occupy ing a whole block at a cost of $3,- 500,000. So far as we could see, but one officer guarded the front of the Capitol and as we chatted with him, wo learned that he had plenty of as sistants, but they were either In plain clothes or else had disappeared for the moment. Directly In front of the Capitol and through a pretty park we came upon the magnificent Congressional Library. If there was no sight in Washington but this, it would repay every traveler for stopping over to see It. In fact, it is beyond ade quate description. AV'e venture to say that no building in this country —if in the world—can compare with tho Library of Congress interior. It is beautiful from tho exterior and the Court of Neptune, at the base of the steps leading to the entrance, is extremely beautiful. Old Father Neptune sits on a rock, while on either side are massive figures of sea nymphs astride spirited horses, snorting water. Turtles and snakes in the pool spout water over the forms of the gods and goddesses and the play of water is remarkable. R. Hinton Perry executed the sculpture in 1897. One of the features of the ex. terior is the real gold dome consist ing of 14-K. gold leaf. This is al ways mentioned by the guides and the gold-emblazoned dome dazzles the eye when the sun shines. It is the interior that commands tho attention. Bronze and marble and bizarre effects in coloring com bine in such profusion that the be holder fairly gasps at the beauty of the walls and ceilings. Marble from various States intermingles in a va riety of shades and the stairways and pillars, with the ornamental ef fects. bewilder the mind and awe one with their beauty. We had but a fleeting glimpse and cannot hope to do more than suggest some of the things. Taking the ele vator, we went to the reading room gallery, and looking down and about, the mind was again filled with ad miration at the delightful harmony of the whole. The librarians fulfill their offices at a circular filing cab inet and outside the railing are tho desks where books may be taken, all in mahogany. The contrast of the red woodwork with the marble walls and huge bronze figures is delight fully pleasing. One could go into ecstacies, but our stay was of very short duration. We called on David E. Roberts, as sistant superintendent of the division of prints, but was informed by Miss Wright, a courteous assistant, that Mr. Roberts was at his home, and we left to catch a glimpse of the White House and the other government buildings. No real American can visit Wash ington without a thrill of pride in the magnificent architectural beauty of the place and the imposing build ings set apart for governmental pur poses. The next article will deal with the ride from Washington to Augusta and will reflect the mind of some of the Southern men with reference to the negro. going on the fourth week since he has touched a drop of anything in the form of liquor or used tobacco of any kind. He seems already like a different man. Tescum has gained a wonderful enthusiast in tne. 1 re gard it as a Godsend. Just think. 1 nave never seen my husband sober for more than 18 hours in years and now it is going on tine month since he had his last drink." Another one gratefully writes: "J have used tescum powders on my hus band and tind it one of the gieatest cures in this world. He hasn't taken a drink for almost five weeks H> d says he never will. My home does not seem like the same place and life seems Worth living. I hope thous ands gain ivhnt 1 have. This has been a good new year for me without drink in my home." NOTE A leading druggist when shown the above article said: "Yes tescum is a very remarkable remedy for the drink habit. It is harmless, wonderfully effective and is having an enormous sale. I advise everyone who wishes to destroy the liquor habit to give it a trial." You take no risk with Tescum as it is sold in this city under a steelbound money-re fund guarantee by J. Nelson Clark and other first class druggists. Thev guarantee it to do the work or refund the money.

McCandless, was present and he reported that with | the advent of cold weather the calls upon the society were Increasing. There seems to be a larger num ber than usual of transient men and boys stranded in this city and it is the society's aim to unite these men with their families. The So ciety co-operates with the Bethesda Mission in taking care of these tran sients while their friends are being located.

German Peace Talk Made to Order, Says Lansing Washington, Sept. 12.—Secretary Lansing to-day warned the public that the recent circulation of so called "unofficial" forecasts of Ger many's peace proposals should not be taken seriously. He said that they were a part of Germany's vicious propaganda in this country. The State Department is satisfied that they were "made in Germany" for American consumption, and were sent here through the German, pub licity headquarters in Switzerland. In the opinion of Secretary Lan sing, the latest German propaganda is being worked up to induce Ameri can pacifists to throw whatever strength they have against the war program which this country is fight ing. The State Department's informa tion indicates that the German gov ernment has just begun to realize the extent of the American military program, and that the kaiser and his advisers are greatly chagrined at the prospects for the new spring cam paign. Chancellor Michaelis is scheduled to discuss peace within the next few days, and it is that the Ger man agents have attempted to pave the way for his utterances. Secretary Lansing declined to state whether this government was in possession of evidence strong enough to convict the persons responsible for acceler ating this particular peace propa ganda. Me said that all of the State Department's information had been turned over to the Department of Justice for action.

He has submitted plans to the govern ment on his "glass-bottom" patrol boats, which he declares can be used as a means to rid the sea of the Ü boat, mines and other unseen perils to navigation. 5,500,000 Germans Now Bearing Arms For Kaiser Grand Headquarters of thr- French Army in France, Sept. 9 (Delayed),— The Associated Press is able to give approximately the figures represent ing the man power of Germany in the war at the present time, together with the casualties, as follows: Fixed formations on the various fronts, employed on lines of communi cation and stations in the interior, 5,500,000.
