n Stopping Automobile Near
Gettysburg Camp Soldier
Throws Army Knife
Gettysburg, Pa., Dec. 10. —Orders
ssuod to the military police from the
amp here and the following out of
hese orders have aroused consider
ble criticism and comment from
he citizens, and some of them are
ightfuliy angry over the treatment
ccorded them. The trouble arose
ver an attempt of those in charge
f the camp to prevent the soldiers
roni bringing liquor into the camp,
ollowing payday on . Thursday,
luards were placed on all the roads
ntering the town, but without the
illltary requirement of having their
uns with them. They were told to
top all automobiles to determine <f
here was any liquor in them. In
ollowing out the orders railroad ties
rere laid across some of the roads
nd stones und other missies hurled
t the cars. The most serious dam
ge was done to the car of H. Milton
'lank, of Harrisburg, who, with h's
nother and other relatives living
lere, were returning from Emrnits-
Kjrg. When near town soldiers call
id to them, but not having any guns
hey were not taken for guards and,
imply answering them, the car went
m. A soldier then threw his Army
nife which penetrated the side of
■Jr. Plank's 56.000 Pierce Arrow car.
ml it is likely a new rear part will
mve to be put on the machine. If,
he Unife had gone a foot higher
t is likely that Mr. Plank's mother
I'ould have been killed.

CAMP MEADE BOYS
IN DIG-IN PRACTICE
Dugouts Forty Feet Deep,
Capable of Holding an
Entire Regiment
Camp Meade, Admiral, Md., Dec.
10.—The boys have started to dig
themselves Into the ground, not
mere surface trenches only deep
enough to shield them from view
across No Man's Land, but real dug
outs more than forty feet deep and
of sufficient proportions to accom
modate an entire regiment at a time.
The construction of these dugouts
is well under way, and, it is said,
that the training of the lads will
take them into the ground to live
within another week.
In these massive subterranean pas
sages the lads will live for several
days at a time. They will be ac
climated, as it were, to the methods
of life "Over There." The tieid
kitchens have been distributed and
the lads in several units are making
ready for their iirst real taste of
the life of a modern soldier in the
Held of action.
Although less than a mile from
their own comfortable quarters the
lads will forget that the barracks
were ever constructed and they will
spend all of their time during the
tour of duty far underneath the
ground. They will be gassed—that
is, learn the methods of defense
against gas attacks and they will be
taught to use the poisonous vapor
as as the other instruments of
warfare, even the fiendish ones in
troduced by the maniacal autocrat
and his cohorts.
They are not mere holes in the
ground, either. They are more, and
in their construction the artistic
hand of the camoufteur earn be seen.
As one approaches he sees a hill,'
with its stubby grass, which has
been scorched by the rays of the
sun until its color blended with the
sand, and the young pines seem to
Indicate a promising woodland. The
guide informs the visitors that the
trenches are beyond the hill.
When the course is reached it is
found that the hill is made of potato
bags sewed together and stretched
over a wire screen. The bags are the
color of the sand and the grass and
the pines have been so arranged
that the most scrutinizing individual
would be deceived when a few feet
away. Under this hill is the entrance
to the dugouts and the surface
trenches for fighting. There are im
plements for machine guns, barbed
wire entanglements and, in fact, ev
erything that goes with an honest
tp-goodness trench.
There are to be three lines of fight
ing trenches in front of the dugouts,
and the grenade throwers, gas and
fire units, signal corps, artillery and
infantry will all be pressed into serv
ice in these mimic battles to thrust
back the imaginary foe and thus pro
vide the lads with the knowledge
of real conditions under which they
will live and fight with a real enemy
in a few months.

I Lebanon. Dec. 10.—According to
i an unofficial report received here to

Several weeks ago United States

went over a big section of country.
All that portion. of land running
along the Lebanon division, between
Colebrook and Conewago. and be
tween the Lebanon line and main
line of the Pennsy was gone over.
The distance is about eleven miles
square. Following the inspection
Major Monoghan refused to make
public any statement as to the result
of the inspection, and the probabil
ity of the United States government
taking over the land. It was inti
| mated that the Conewago Valley
site was one of six from which would

structive Blaze Started
in Cellar
The three-story brick building at
the corner of Fourth and Woodbine
streets, 2167 Fourth street, was partly
destroyed by flrc of unknown origin
yesterday afternoon. The extent of
the damage is estimated at SII,OOO.
The loss is covered by insurance.
The first floor of the building is
occupied by the grocery store of W.
A. Gernert. and the floors above are
apartments. The manager of the
store, 8. E. Miller, lives on the second
floor. The tire started in the base
ment and quickly reached the first
floor, where it completely destroyed
the stock and fixtures of the store,
and gutted the building. Smoke and
water damaged the second and third
floors. It was necessary to cut large
holes in the halls and walls to light
the flames.
The loss to Mr. Gernert through the
burning of his stock is estimated at
|2,000 or $3,000. This is only par
tially covered by insurance. The bus
iness of the store will be conducted
from the Hill Store at 1201 Mulberry
street.
While the cause of the flre is not
known. Mr. Kinsinger stated that it
was probably due to defective wiring.
Another flre started about 6 o'clock,
and its origin was traced to a point
where two insuiated wires were I
crossed.
