12 CRIPPLED CARS BLOCK SIDINGS ON MANY LINES harrisburg Included Among Cities Where This Equip ment Is Now Stored By Associated Press Washington, Feb. 15. —Thousands ]t>f crippled freight cars accumulated through the winter because of gross neglect of railroads in making re pairs occupy miles of tracks In east ern rail centers and are largely re sponsible for car shortage and traf fic congestion, it was shown to-day by reports of Interstate Commerce Commissioner McChord to Director- General McAdoo. Conditions are worse at Philadel phia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Al toona, Cleveland and Buffalo, it was ehown. The Pennsylvania early this week had 1,992 so-called bad order cars at Altoona, 1,253 at Harrisburg. more than 1,500 at Conway yard, near Pittsburgh: 890 at Cleveland. 378 at Philadelphia and 501 at Buf falo. It was estimated crippled cars, even at these main terminals, occu pied fifty-five miles of track. The Philadelphia and Reading had 1.300 bad order cars in its principal switching yards, covering sixteen miles of track. The Erie had 509 at Buffalo, 367 at Port Jervis and 235 at Jersey City, making eight miles of t-ack covered by defective rolling stock. The Western Maryland had 414 at Cumberland alone, and the Baltimore and Ohio had 144 in one yard at Philadelphia These cars could have been re paired quickly during the winter if railroads had made proper prepara- l Hons for covered repair tracks in, advance, according to railroad ad ministration officials. Of the many cars congested in the Philadelphia yards of the Pennsylva nia, more than 2,400 are coal cars, inspectors reported, and at no time within the last month have there been less than 1.500 empty coal cars there awaiting movement, while coal mine operators cried for more cars. To-day's reports of inspectors in dicated a slow clearing up of con gestion on several eastern trunk lines. "On one or two of these," says the report, "for the first time locomotives are now available for trains without delay. On the New Haven. Pennsyl vania, Baltimore and Ohio and Erie railroads, however, there are still' large numbers of cars stored on sid ings or main lines between terminals waiting to be moved as soon as mo tive power is available or congested conditions will permit.

DAUPHIN FLYER T SPENT CHRISTMAS IN FRANCE Thousands of mothers are anxious to learn how Christmas is being spent In the trenhes by the boys. Walter Shaffer, the Dauphin aviator, in a letter to his mother, tells an in teresting story of the Christmas he spent "somewhere in France." The letter, which answers the question of these thousands of mothers, fol lows: Somewhere in France, December 26, 1917. Dear Mother:— " 'Twas the night after Christ mas and all through the house, every creature was groaning—in cluding the mouse." But not in this house, for I had nary a chance to overeat. We had quite a tough turkey and someone must have mis laid the cranberry sauce and the mince pie, for it never appeared. Pop would laugh aplenty if he knew I spent most of Christmas day chopping wood and the rest trying to build a fire, for these Frenchmen are too lazy to do either, and since there was no fire any where and I was so cold I was shivering, chop ping wood was the only means I could think of that would make me warm and keep mo so. Therefore, your brave son hunted up hatchet and saw and boldly attacked the woodpile. I sure had some inter ested audience, for there were sol diers camped in the cellar I was "warming up" and they watched me with awe and amusement. For my hand had not forgotten the skill taught it so painfully in my youth— (you know how much I used to en joy cutting wood) and I soon had quite a pile. This exhibition of am bition was quite beyond the Poilus looking on, and I caught the word "American" quite frequently in their I conversation, for they know their: countrymen well enough to know they never work like that. It's s6 unnecessary, they think, since one can wrap up in all his clothes and do without fire. So can I, but it isn't a very happy existence. Unfortunately, none of the nu merous packages sent me for Christ mas have arrived so I made the best of things by getting thoroughly warm for the first time in ten days. I did have hopes of celebrating the day with a bath, but the weather was so unsettled, one minute snow ing and the next blue sky showing —that I had no chance of going to "Chalon-sur Marne," nearby to get the much needed bath, as I might be sent out on patrol duty any min ute. Nothing like that happened, however, and I sat around in my armchair in my beautiful cold chat eau wondering how long it had been since I last had warm feet. Now that 1 rarely get a bath, I can appreciate that old chestnut about the Irishman who had a new bathtub installed and remarked that he could hardly wait until Fr.turday to try it. I suppose I'll have to do like one of my comrades—sew my flannels on for the winter—He even remarked that he had had some of his clothes on for lo long that the buttons were getting rusty. One of the Frenchmen got real ambitious to-day and cut a big stack of wood, and it looks as if I can sit by the open fireplace and dream some more dreams to-night, a stunt not to my liking since my mind generally turns to thoughts of choc olate. cake, pie and ice cream, which don't get me anywhere, ex cept to make my mouth wate enough for the use of a "slobber' bib, and make me think I am en tering my second childhood. Heard quite a lot of shooting yesterday, but nothing so loud as its been pictured. Then again, 1 may be too far behind the lines to get the full benefit. However, the war is not over yet and I will no doubt get many a chance to hear ] the celebration at close range, espe cially since I am "dispinibled" now, I guess that's spelled right, but I would not advise you to pronounce it, you might bite your tongue. It means that my training is over and I begin actual fighting as soon as the weather clears up. Some Amer ican Jokingly pronounced the word s "indispensable," something which I , know I am not. To date have had about six hours' flying over the front, some of it even over the lines, I know I.was over one time, i because shrapnel began popping , near me, and it was then I discov ered what a friend a cloud was. All of this time was spent in flying in ; group formation, anywhere from ' two to six machines flying in a | bunch. The hard part of this kind of flying, which is the only way ' used, is to keep in your allotted po sition and requires judgment of dis tance, speed, a knowledge of motor ' regulation and ability as a flyer. A seasoned flyer was always sent out to lead us and it was during one 1 of these trips that the leader con sidered my flying "tres bien" (very good.) Imagine my surprise the next morning to read in the orders of the day that 1 was "chef de patrol" (leader of the group). And thep you can use your imagination again; Think how disappointed I ' felt on going to the hangars and finding my plane unfit for service, something having broken in the mo tor during the last flight which would require all day to fix. So my joy at being so honored was short lived and I moped around the rest of the day, wondering why in Sam Hill they did not make mechanics with a little more speed. And I have not flown since then, and sure am itching to get into the air again, for I do like to fly and wor ry that Captain aplenty with my de sire to burn up gasoline in any kind of weather. As far as I can see there is no weather bad enough to faze a Nieuport, for I have flown in some very bad weather. I wanted to go up yesterday, but after a look at the sky he refused, and I can see his wis dom now, for half an hour later a blinding- snowstorm came up, and it gave a mental picture of where I might have been at the time. "Somewhere in France, sure ly, or worse yet "somewhere in Ger many," for I had no instruments as yet, so certainly I would have been up a-tree. I finally got all my in struments mounted to-day the way I vjanted them, —Altimeter, com pass, tachometer and watch all in one corner. ' Yes, I said "watch," for we have one of them given us as they are quite necessary since we only carry enough gasoline for a certain length of time so must know how long we are gone, else we might find ourselves over Germany with no "gas," and then, to say the least, one would be "out of luck." Watch is not quite the word for it, it being so big as to be a young alarm clock. We certainly have a roaring fire . to-night and for once it was so hot I had to stop hugging it, and now tljat I am so warm and comfortable I feel like going to bed, for I ate so much macaroni for supper that I just naturally feel like curling up. Received a card from Arne on : Christmas, which informed me that i the Harrisburg Typographical Union • had honored me with a Christmas , package and would I look out for ■ it. I certainly will do that, but lam • looking out for so many that never have arrived that I fear I'll be bur • led when they once begin to drop on me. r WALTER. mrmißnrißG WTO TELEtiB3PH! COURT-MARTIAL DECREES DEATH FOR BOLO PASHA Decision Reached After Only Fifteen Minutes of Deliberation Paris, Feb. 15.—8010 Pasha was sentenced to death yesterday by a court martial, which deliberated only fifteen minutes. Darius Porchere, an accountant, who was a codefendant, was sentenc ed to three years' imprisonment. Filippo Cavallinie, another code- ( fendant, who is under arrest in Italy, j was sentenced to death, although he j is not within the court's Jurisdiction. When the 8010 Pasha treason trial j opened, Albert Salles, the attorney - for the Levantine financier, took the J floor to make a final plea for his , client's life. The crowd in the court room listened with spellbound atten tion, and with obviously greater sympathy than had been shown in the earlier days of the trial, to the lawyer's impressive speech. Following a brief exposition of the , abhorrence generally felt at the charge of treason, Attorney Salles declared the trial of 8010 Pasha had' raised distinct doubts as to his guilt and that it was his (Sallies') task to change them to a certainty of his client's innocence. Blamed Press Campaign The attorney then charged an "abominable press campaign against Bolo" with being largely responsible for the almost general belief in France prior to the trial that his client was guilty, and added that, hardly ten men convinced of his in nocence could be found in the coun try. This press campaign. M. Salles as serted, had been deliberately insti tuted by Senator Charles Humbert, former owner of Le Journal, after the Senator had failed to induce 8010 to sell back the stock in Le Journal at half the price 8010 had paid for it. First "Intelligence" Case Paul 8010 Pasha's courtmartial was one of the first of the of "intelligence with the enemy ' and came up for trial before the third court-martial of Paris on February 4. 8010 Pasha was charged with hav ing capitalized the company that bought the Paris newspaper Le Jour nal with money obtained from the Germans. 8010 Pasha was an instrument of German propaganda, one of the first to find exposure in the French in vestigations of 1917, and his name has come to be used as typifying the entire system of "Boloism" by which Germany strove to break down the French morale and instill a desire for peace by spreading the idea that Germany would not be beaten and that it would be well to make the best terms possible with her as soon as they could be arranged. It had been charged that Germany in attempting to bribe French states men and leaders and to influence French opinion by subsidizing news papers in France or founding new publications to disseminate the spirit of pacifism or defeat, devoted a sum of money in the neighborhood of 10,000,000 marks. 8010 himself was said to have had the use of a fund of more than $1,500,000 to be used i in attempting to corrupt the French • press. Received Correspondence Darius Porchere, a codefendant with 8010 Pasha, who was sentenced i to three years' imprisonment, is a business agent, who was charged with receiving correspondence re- lating to the affair as an interme diary of 8010 Pasha. Filippo Cavallinie, who was Judged by default and sentenced to death, is a former member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. He was charged with having introduced 8010 Pasha to Abbas Hilmi, the former Khedive of Egypt, and with having facilitated the negotiations. Captain Mornet acted sis prosecu ting attorney for the military au thorities. 8010 Pasha was defended by Maitre Albert Sallee, a member of the Council of the Order of Ad vocates, while Maitre Marcel Her and-appeared for Perchere. The tiles in the case contained no fewer than 4,000 separate docu ments, some of which, including the American report and the report ot M. Doyen, an expert accountant, were of several hundred pages each. 8010 Pasha's activities were of peculiar interest to Americans, be cause it was charged that of the funds at his disposal {1,683,000 wm transferred from the Deutsche bank in Berlin to Prance byway of New York. It was as a result of the dis covery of his manipulation of this fund through five New York bak ing houses, that the New York State Attorney General was able to obtain information which was forwarded to M. Jusserand, the French ambassa dor at Washington, and which brought about Bolo's arrest in Paris. Suburban Notes , LIVERPOOL Thomas Werick spent Wednesday ] at Harrisburg.
