2 TIMELY NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CITY'S SUBURBS CUMBERLAND NO CONTEST OF ADAMS ELECTION Mistake of Printing Names of Democratic Candidates First Will Not Be Followed Up Gettysburg, Pa., Nov. 15. —It is not j likely the election of last wtnk will be contested as it was believed it j would be if the results were .close enough to warrant* it. The trouble grew out of a mistake in the printing of the ballots, Robert C. Miller, the Republican county chairman, going Into court the day before election with a peti'.ion setting forth an error in the ballot in that the names of the Democratic candidates were printed j first instead of the Republicans, j Counsel for the County Commission-! ers acknowledged the error, but all j parties agreed that it was a physical ! impossibility to print new ones, so a rule was made by the qourt to pro ceed with the election, but giving the right to bo defeated candidates to make a contest if they were so minded. The Democrats walked away with the election, however, in such fashion that there was no doubt as to the intention as to who the voters ■wanted elected. The proceeding threw a scare into the Democratic political | camp, but everything has quieteil i down, and the result will stand.

Leon Hallman, a member of the One Hundred Ninth Machine Gun Com pany, stationed at Camp Hancock, Ga., spent a short furlough at New Cumberland yesterday. U. S. SOJJHERS NEEDY.M.C.A.AT FRENCH FRONT Secretary From Harrisburg Tells Just What Unit Is Doing For Men "I am very happy In my work, be cause I have never felt 1 was doing so much good as I now am. 'The Y. M. C. A. are our only friends and they're right there with the goods,' said one of the soldiers the other day and I think that 99 per cent, of the men feel the same way. "Our huts up to the present have been two long barracks which are lighted up with electricity. In each hut there are a piano, victrola and other musical instruments, tables and benches, Plenty of writing material and magazines and newspa-pers of every description. The other day a great pile of magazines arrived from America. They had been sent with a one-cent stamp after being read in the states and your should have seen that crowd search through that heap for their home town postmarks. I hunted for them myself but did not lind anything nearer than MclCees port. Pa. "We have just dorie a big thing for the soldiers. There is a movie theater (holding 1,000) in the camp but it belongs to the French artillery. The French colonel offered half of the seats (500) to the Americans and it was gratefully accepted. However, there were only three performances a week and 800 Americans per even ing did not amount to much. So one ol the chaplains who is very much interested in the movies spoke to the general and the general gave him authority to make any arrangements possible for more movies, and the Y. M. C. A. offered to pay all the bills. So the chaplain and I started forth to interview the French col onel. The French are kindness itself and the colonel offered the hall any time we would like it but he did not seem to understand that we should like to begin right off instead of next week or week after. Also he could not understand how we could run two shows in one evening. After many interviews with our general and the French colonel, however, we succeeded in coming to an agree ment and to-night \*e started out on a two-performance per night (6.30 and 8.30), seven days a week and instead of accommodations for 1,500 American soldiers per week we have places for 7,000 per week. "A Great Mfc'' "To-night then the Y. M. C. A. was entertaining 2,000 French and Amer ican soldiers at the movies, at least 500 at a concert by an orchestra composed of fourteen French sol diers, in one hut, about three to four hundred in another hut writing let ters,. playing the piano, victrola or games such as checkers, picture puz zles or dominoes, and at the same time I was drumming French into about fifty faithfuls in another hut. At the same time our books and mag azines are spread all over the camp and in the hospital. It's a great life. "My French class has been very faithful. We have had to move from place to place and some times we all have to stand and one of the men holds up a lantern to light up a small blackboard that I work on. And still they come every night. I can* work all my old jokes on them and they shout at them all. I wish my boys could drop in and see us some night. 1 have, too. an officers' class at eight, and will begin a class in English for the French, who are asking for it. "The French are perfectly wonder- : ful. They treat our men as if they were friends all their lives. If you . could look in our huts some evening; you would be thrilled at the khaki ] and light blue uniforms all inter mingled amidst the smoke. The com. araderie between the French and the Americans is one of the most splen did things I ever saw. There is none of the braggadocio I expected among j the Americans nor the aloofness I j thought the French mignt have to wards us. "I forgot to tell you too that we have a complete athletic outfit and this afternoon there was a football and baseball game, a Franco-Ameri can boxing tournament and a soc cer game. To-morrow afternoon (Sunday) there will be a Franco- Arrferican soccer game. The fellows are right when they say there is al ways something doing at the Y. "This afternoon I saw a good il lustration of' the good feeling be tween the troops. One of the Ameri cans took a button out of his pocket and offered it to a Frenchman. The Frenchman said he would have a brooch made with it for his wife. Then the American began to examine the Frenchman's buttons simply to discover what difference there was. The latter immediately ripped off al most all his buttons and passed them around. When I left them they were showing each other pictures of their families and sweethearts and having j a great time. And none of them un- i derstood the other's language. It's great Some Black Sheep "Of course there are black sheep j among our men, but I think the very j worst of them is true to his code, j One of them, a .cook, I stopped to talk with to-night. I was surprised to find that he too. seemed willing to tell me his troubles. He told me that he would like to saye his money 1 but that he never could and he sup- I posed that none of his month's pay I would be left by the next morning. Alter talking with him a little while, | he gave me 190 francs for which Ij gave him a receipt and to-morrow 1 j am going with him to the post office and he's going to send the money to his mother in New Jersey. "All of the men were broke when I got here. As was natural, their pay was quite delayed and they were pretty hard up. Yesterday they-were paid and we were all afraid they would cut loose and spend it all. The Y. M. seized its chance, put up signs about savfng money. The most pop ular ran something like this: Don't Say Again I'M BROKE. Save Your Money. "The men were paid in one of our huts and one of the secretaries was placed at the end of the where they all came out and he collected quite a lot of money for deposit In Paris banks. Our American boys are really like a bunch of youngsters. They bring their troubles to us even more readily than my schoolboys and have such great faith in us that it touches us to the quick. "I have not heard a single word of criticism of the Y. M. C. A. The men will form lines the length of the hut to get chocolate bars, clgarets or candy find when they get to their turn that we are all out of what they want, and leave without a murmur. They know we are doing out best for them. | "The men ask for Bull Durham a j hundred times a day but we have not yet received any American to bacco. "Last night after French class 11 went over to the main hut to help sell things to the large crowd of buy ers when Mr. Chesley, our chief, sent word to me to come over and say a word to the new regiment that had just arrived the day before. . He wanted me to tell them just what 1 did about the huts. On the way over I thought of the thousand things I did and general cleanup of the huts, care of bulletin boards, library, games, newspapers and magazines, preparation for entertainments, in terpreting for Tom, Dick and Harry, etc. "I have maps of France and Eu | rope place all around the huts and the -men are studying them all the time. As soon as the Paris edition •of the New York Herald conies I post it so the boys get the news as foon as anyone."
