HOW THE CANADIANS GO "OVER THE TOP" IN FRANCE GRANGE OF STATE SCORES BREWERS In Fealty Message, Cessation of Malt Liquor Making Is Demanded Williamsport, Pa., Dec. 14.—Pa triotic demonstrations and pledges of unwavering loyalty and support to the government in efforts to win the war marked the closing sessions of the Pennsylvania State Grange here yesterday. Stirring addresses were made by John Burke, treasurer of the United States, and Gilford Pin chot. A message was sent to President Wilson, in which tliw grange, speak ing to:* its (18,000 members, promised "tin best there i,s in us of our man power to make the earth produce its products in this, our country's great est crisis." The message continued: We further represent that the brewery interests of this State are controlled by German adherents and sympathizers and tliu output of their breweries is one of the chief causes of food scarcity, inefl.ciency of labor, impaired factory products and the crippling of the mining industry, which, in turn, is holding up the other industries and causing women and children to suffer for want of fuel to warm theft* homes. Our schools are being closed and our children are being stunted physically and intellectually in order that the corpulent German sympathizer, through his brewery interest, may carry on his business of destruction of manhood and patriotism. Appre ciating the fact that your knowledge cf these Questions is as broad as ours, we make bold to say that the time has arrived when further manufac ture of brewed products should cease. I". S. Treasurer Burke Cliccrcd Cheers greeted the declaration of United States Treasurer Burke that 4 Germany cannot be starved; she must be conquered." Mr. Burke pro ct eiled: "Those who know tell us that men higher up in Germany are already talking about the next war. There will be no next war. This war must go on until it ends in enduring pence. 1 have not lost faith in the American people. I know the re sponse will come from the men who till the soil, as well as from all other <iti/.ens and, with a united people, we will win the war." At the conclusion of his address the 1,200 delegates rose to reaffirm their determination to do everything possible to win the war and then joined in singing the national an them. l'lncliot Pleads For Farmers Mr. Pine-hot made an earnest plea for the farm interests of the coun try. He said: "The American farmer is the key to the heart's desire of every true American —the winning of this war. As such he, at least as much as any other, deserves to have a voice in the war councils of the nation. He should be heard in deciding not only the countless questions which concern food and the farmer in the conduct of the war, but in all the other great problems of policy which spring out of It or hang upon it. To-day he has no voice and is not consulted. There is, so far as I know, not a sin gle genuine farmer in any place of authority in Washington, in the vast organization of the Council of Na tional Defense, the food administra tion or the numerous other special bodies which are running the war." R. S. ltankin, of Washington coun ty, was elected a member of the state executive committee for three years. W. S. Ross, of Lackawanna county, was chosen a member of the finance committee, and T. B. Palmer, of Delaware county, was elected one of the directors of the Keystohe State Grange. WORKMAN INJURED Lewistown, Pa., Dec. 14.—While handling a heavy steel tire at the freight station here.

MOHR, U*nar FRIDAY EVENING, - —HAKRISBUILU TELEGRAPH Sergeants at Meade Reduced For Breaking Military Camp Law Camp Meade, Md., Dec. 14.—Ser geant Glenn Payne, of the Second training battalion, and Sergeant Sam Pasln, of the Seventeenth training batalion of the 154 th depot brigade, have been reduced to the ranks and sentenced to be confined at hard la bor for six months and to forfeit two-thirds of their pay for a like period for Infractions of the mili tary regulations. They were arraigned before a gen eral courts-martial here some weeks ago, but it was not until this after noon that the findings were publish ed. Sergeant Payne was charged with desertion. The testimony in the case showed that he was transferred lrom the Regular Army to the Na tional Army and assigned as an in structor with the Seventy-ninth di vision. After he reported here he did not like the environments and without consulting any one packed his bag and returned to his old sta tion, where he emphasized the fact that he was a regular and wanted to remain with the regulars. At trial the charge was changed and he was found guilty of absenting himself without leave. He spent more than a month in the guard house, and the reviewing officer de ducted this from the sentence. Sergeant Pasin was found guilty of attempting to extort money for his own use from members of the Sev enteenth training battalion by or-1 dering acting Corporal John How-' ard Eckels to collect from each member $1 or more and to turp the money over to him and report the names of those who did not con tribute. Several court findings are to be published within the next? few days, and it is said that many men who were found guilty of desertion were dealt with severely.

R. L. Potter, a veteran of the Canadian Army who served on the western front from the beginning of the war until assigned to recruiting work in this country. The Canadian troops have proved themselves most dar ing and adept in going over the top of tbo Hun trenches in France and Flanders and carrying all before them In attack. Th 6 first of these photographs show troops at that exciting moment when the order to fix bayonets has been given. This command is with held until the very last second be cause it was found that no matter what secrecy was observed the Ger mans found out when the rush was to start. With a shout of command the unit simultaneously plunges up the home trench and as will be seen In the picture, some are instantly shot down before even reaching the top. Once over the men rush forward, generally over wire entangled fields, fore the rush artillery from every For perhaps twenty-four hours be side has been concentrated on the immediate German lines. There is no hope of surprising the enemy but the art consists in isolating him with barrage fire. The sweep of artillery generally carries away the barbed wire entanglements and often tanks are used. When the assaulters have reached some distance the barrage is shifted back of the German advance in or der to cut oft reserves. Ho accumu lated is this fire that a shell a min ute has been known to be dropped on every square foot. Reading Heiress and Tramp Organizer Will Honeymoon at Home Reading, Pa.. Dec. 14.—That In his career as a hobo he has ridden on every part of a freight car except the number," was the declaration mad by J. W. Schweitzer, who, on Saturday, married Miss Caroline K. Steinmetz, Reading heiress, who pos sesses SIOO,OOO in her own name. "1 have ridden on the road rods, on everything of the freight train but the numbers. Why, 1 .lust finished a 3,800-mile trip across the country on the rods, and it took thirteen days." Mr. Schweitzer whimsically de scribed himself as a tramp and the organizer of an association of tramps. They are of the chosen, with whom the millionaire, J. Eads How, has associated himself In a communion of altruistic, thought tie-walking, hand out lunching spirits. Mr. Schweitzer is, or has been, a tramp, and his wife knows it, and knew it In advance. Mr. Schweitzer, temporarily of Read ing, is ruling spirit of the Baltimore group. He is secretary of the organ ization there and one of the contrib utors to their nickel monthly maga zine, Hobo News. Mrs. Schweitzer threatens to become a writer for the publication. The couple are doing no honey mooning travel. "Oh, no, we do our honeymooning right here," the bride said. "Only the hoi polloi go on hon eymoon trips. They do it to get ac quainted and to do their first fight ing. You know it has ever been con sidered a sin to be different. Well, I'm different." Schweitzer says that probably his wife's relatives would see no fault in the novel union just consummuated, if they know that "he has an uncle worth $500,000, and that I myself am a mechanical engineer, able to earn $1,200 to $5,000 a year. I have done It, and I'm not exactly paralyzed yet. Let them caH me a tramp; that's Just what I am. I've had thousands in my possession at times, and have known, too, what it was to be penni less. Like my wife, I've been blessed, or cursed, with a spine of my own, and I propose to live as I please, go where I please, work when I please, and stop when I please. The world is a big place and there is much to see and learn. And I have sls, so I should worry. We hope to try some amateur theatricals, in time."
