WEDNESDAY EVENING,
NORTH ST. SITE
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
GAINS IN FAVOR
Pledge of Directors to People
Is Recalled; Natural Ad
vantages Noted
Indications are that opinion In
the School Board is slowly concen
trating on the North street civic cen
ter site for tho girls' high school.
There are several reasons for this.
lr. the first place a number of tho
directors recall that the promise was
made by tho board and those asso
ciated with It In campaigning.for the
million and a quuy-ter high' school
loan last fall that the school would
bo centrally located. "Between the
river and the railroad and below
Brlggs street" was the exact wording
of the expert report upon which
the school loan was basod. The
North street site Is the only avail
able property covered by theso speci
fications.
Artistic ami Practical
Beyond the advisability of locating
the new high school on tho civic
center created by the extension oi
Capitol Park, which from an artistic
standpoint has the recommendation
of expert "engineers In charge of de
velopments in the extension zone,
there Is the Very practical question
of car fare.
The Front street site or one on the
Hill, It is pointed out, will necessitate
car fare for hundreds of pupils dally,
with an hour or more required to get
to and from school. Kvon the pro
posed forty-acre "university" site on
the Hill at Herr street would not be
within roach of people residing at
the lower end of the Hill except by a
roundabout street car trip through
the city. There Is no direct line now
running to that section.
On the other hand, the North
street location is so central that
pupils from all parts of the city
could reach it with little or no delay
and at a minimum of expense with
regard td car fare.
Tho additional outlay Involved
would be mot by taxation If the
North street plot Is purchased, it is
pointed out, but by a direct asress
ment on the part of the taxpayer in
the way of car face if the Front
street location Is chosen.
The University Club Plan
Directors who have favored the
Herr street forty-acre plot because
a university plan might bo worked
out there in connection with the high
school buildign are convinced that
it would be impossfoie to take up
that system here except at too great
cost, for the reason that only the
girls' high school could be located
there unless the proposed junior high,
school building are convinced that
were thrown over and the expensive
Technical high school plant aban
doned. The city is too far along in
Its high school development plans to
attempt the university idea now, it is
pointed out. Johnstown is spending

VETERAN TELLS
HARROWING TALE
[Continued from First Page.]
former resident of Lancaster and
has a brother,. Leslie Leaman, who is
in service with the Rainbow Divi
sion, Machine Qun Battalion, now
stationed at Long Island.
Only Few Come Back
His account of service in France
in the important battles of the war,
and his narrow from death
when all but thirty-live of 1,650 men
in his battalion wer,e killed is a re
markable one. Because of his ser
vice with the Canadian forces he has
been given two war medals, one for
service at the front and the other
distinguishing him as a "Grand War
Veteran."
It was during Sergeant Leaman's
second enlistment that he saw active
service in France.
"When I tirst enlisted most of our
time was spent in England in train
ing camps. Upon our return to
Canada I re-enlisted and this timo
was sent direct to France with the
Seventy-ninth O. S. Battalion. There
were 1,650 troops in our contingent.
Most of our active service was during
1916 at Verdun, on the Somme and
Ypres fronts. Although we were
supposed to be relieved of trench
duty after six days of it, at times
it*was longer than this before we
could get back of the line of shell
lire again for a rest. In the trenches
at all times there was extreme dan
ger and although not under lire part
of the time, our nerves were always
on edge and frequently the lueu
jumped at the slightest sound.
Deadly Charges
"It was during the lighting at
Vlmy Ridge that the Canadians suf
fered most. \ The Ninety-Seventh in
one of its charges lost all but thirty
five of the 1,650 men. Some of these
were injured, including myself.
LAter in returning to action again I
was taken prisoner and kept in a
German internment camp for more
than two and a half months.
"The prisoners were kept under
heavy guard and had no opportunity
of knowing where they were or
learning anything of conditions on
the front. At times in camp we did
not get anything to eat, but with
the exception of a few of the men
who attempted 'to resist the Ger
man troops, there was little cruel
treatment. After the exchange of
prisoners I was sent to Canada again
for a discharge because of shra*pne!
wounds. As to the service with the
allied troops - I can say little except
along the Canadian lines. At times
we saw the French and English divi
sions but were not together often.
Conditions in our camp were all that
could be expected."
Sergeant Leaman's discharge gives
the length of his enlistment, where
he has seen service, that his deport
ment rn service was "excellent, and
that he had been awarded two war
medals.
'Compliments Troop C
He received his place as a non
commissioned officer two days after
his first enlistment in the Canadian
service, as he had been a sergeant
in United States Army service. Dur
ing his seventeen years under the
American flag Sergeant Leaman was
a member of Company C, Ninth In
fantry; Twelfth Cavalry, and the
One Hundred and Fifth Coast Artil
lery.
In 1905 while in California he met
a number of Harrisburgers who were
there attending a lodKe convention.
He spent to-day visiting them.
Sergeant Leaman was in the city
yesterday during the farewell pa
rade. He commended the boys of
Troop C for their excellent appear
ance and was impressed Ijy the big
demonstration and patriotic spirit
shown by the residents of the city.

I was badly ruptured while lifting

Finally I got hold of something that

There was no operation, no lost time,
no trouble. I have nothing to sell,

Kerensky Gets Ofter of
Support From Workmen;
Many Arrests Are Made
By Anociottd Prtrs
Petrograd, Sept. 11. —All through
the night M. Kerensky received res
olutions from army and navy units
promising to support him. The
Council of Workmen's and Soldiers'
Delegates sent telegrams to the tele
graph operators' unions declaring
that the operators by refusing to
work for Kornlloff could help to
crush the revolt.
Premier Kerensky issued an order
to the Petrograd garrison denounc
ing General' Kornlloff for opening
the front to the Germans and for
sending a division of Asiatics against
the capital while professing to de
fend liberty.
General Kozmln, now commanding
the Petrograd /Ity garrison, declared
before the meeting in the winter pal
ace of the representatives of the dif
ferent organizations:
Will Fight to End
"No negotiations are possible with
traitors. Our only future conversa
tion will be carried en through cUn
non."
"Only bayonets can now decide the
conflict," was the declaration of
Vice-Premier Nekrasoff.
M. Tchernoff, Minister of Agricul
ture, has resigned from the cabinet.
Ninety arrests were made In Petro
grad lfcst night. General Mlchevieff
was arrested at Moscow. Alexander
Guchkoff, the Octoberist leader and
former Minister of War and Navy,
who after leaving Petrograd last Sat
urday joined the Korniioff move
ment, has been arrested. He is now
under guard at Pskoff.
Charged With Treason
Premier Kerensky has ordered the
procurer of the Petrograd court to
put General Korniloff on trial under
the historic one hundred and fifth
statute "for conspiring to overthrow
the existing order."
During the night Premier Keren
sky had a conference with the pro
curer and dictated a lengthy descrip
tion of the details of the conspiracy.
All elements in the population of
Moscow, according to reports re
ceived here, has given assurances of
support to the provisional govern
ment which have already been given
by the municipal counfcll. General
Verkhovsky called all the officers of
the garrison together in the public
square and was given assurance that
they would support Premier Keren
sky. The St. George cavalieres have
made a special offer of their services
and there appears to be unity among
the workmen's groups.
Vladimir Puriskevich, the well
known reactionary under the old re
gime, >frho was arrested at Dvinsk
and later released, is reported again
to be in custody.
Petrograd is said to have sufficient
provisions to last for fouj; or five
days.

He's Savior of Nation
By Associated Press
.Petrograd, Sept. 11, 11 A. M. —The
texts of General Korniloff's procla
mations are published here to-day.
The first dated at Mohtlev, denounces
Premier Kerensky'a description ot
Vladimir Lvoff'a mission as untrue
and declarM that Kornlloff did not
send Lvoff to Kerenaky, but that
Kerensky flrat aend Lvoff to him with
the aim to create trouble.
"Russian men," continue* the
proclamation, "our great fatherland
Is perishing. The great Underpres
sure o/_the Bolshevlkl majority of
the councils la acting in full accord
with the plans of the German gen
eral staff. Overwhelming conacloua
ness of the impending ruin of the
fatherland compels me in thla men
acing moment to summon all Rus
sian men to save perishing Russia. All
in whose breasts beat Russian hearts,
all who believe in God, let them
flock to the temple and pray God to
perform a great miracle —a miracle
of saving the fatherland.
Would Lead to Victory
"I General Kornlloff, son of a
peasant and Cossack, declare to all
that I require nothing personally,
nothing except the aalvatlon of
mighty Russia and I swear to lead
the nation by the road of victory
over the foe to a constituent assem
bly through which the nation will
decide its own fate and choose the
organization of Its own political life.
But I shall never betray Russia Into
the hands of Its traditional foe—the
German race, or make the Russian
people the slaves of Germany. I pre
fer to die on the field of honor and
battle rather than to witness the
;hame and infamy of Russian land.
"Russian people! In your hands
rests the fate of your country.
(Signed)
"KORNILOFF."
Claims Support
In the second proclamation Gen
eral Kornlloff declares he Is sup
ported by all of the higher com
manders on the front, denounces the
government for incapable govern
ment, weakness and indecision and
declares that in order to veil its
unfitness the government is creating
the chimera of a nonexistent counter
revolution. 1
The provisional government has
under the martial law regulations
prohibited the circulation of Gen
eral Korniloff's manifestos or the
publication of unofficial news con
cerning military measures taken
against the revolt.
