SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE WITH EMPEY
The Lone Tree Sentinel
—OR—
Ghosts on the Firing Line
By Arthur Guy Empey

(Copyright, 1918, McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
One aunny afternoon our gun'i
Itrew was Bitting: on the Are step of a
yront Line trench, just in front of
Commecourt Wood.
Happy Houghton -was busily en
gaged in rigging up a flash screen to
hide the flare of our gun, which we
were to mount on the parapet that
aiight.
Sailor Bill was sewing a piece of
ikhaki cloth over his tin hat, because
the night previous while on sentry
go, standing in the moonlight, with
his head over the top the rays from
•the moon had reflected from his
steel helmet, and a couple of Ger
man bullets had knocked up the
■dirt within a few feet of his head.
As was usual with him. Hungry
Foxcorf t was wrestling with a tin of
'bully beef, while "Curly'' Wallace
was hunting for cooties.
Ikey Honney, with our mascot.
►Jim, was sitting on the firestep, his
'hack leaning against the traverse of
the firebay, picking mud out of his
<harmonica with a sliver of wood.
Jim seemed happy and contented,
*ot knowing the fate in store for
|im. Two days later poor Jim was
Mlld by a German bullet and we
buried him behind the lines, placing
a little wooden cross at the head of
his grave. After working a few min
utes at the harmonica, Ikey would
pause, put It to his Hps, and blow
into it, a squeaky, rattly noise re
sulting. Then, with a deep sigh, he
would resume the picking process.
I had just finished a letter home,
and was sighing for the time to come
when once again I would be able to
say "hello" to the old girl with the
lamp in her right hand, guarding
New York harbor.
Although it was warm and sunny,
still the floor of the trench was about
three inches deep in soft, sticky
jnud.
On my right I heard a low mut
tering and a splashing in the mud,
and around the traverse, into our
firebay, carrying a box of ammuni
tion on his shoulder, came the most
•weird looking soldier I have ever
een. As he paused in front of me
he turned his gaze in my direction
end a. cold shiver seemed to run up
and down my spine as I looked into
his eyes. They were uncanny; a
sort of vacant stare, as If the own
er of them was looking into the

SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 16, 1918.
Great Beyond. As this soldier stag
gered through the firebay, almost
bending double under the weight of
the ammunition, and passed from
view around the next traverse, it
seemed to me as if the Grim Reap
er had stalked through.
Shuddering a little, I instinctively
turned my eyes in the direction of
the rest of the crew. They were also
staring at the traverse, around which
the gloomy looking soldier had dis
appeared.
My heart sank to zero and I had
a sinking sensation in the region of
my stomach, and on the parados in
front of me, like a moving picture
on a screen, flashed a cemetery, dot
ted all over with little wooden
crosses. I felt queer and uneasy.
Curly Wallace, in a low, half
frightened voice, exclaimed:
"Blime me. that was 'Aunted Jer
ry's brother, the one who clicked it
by the old lone tree. If you blokes
want to get the creeps, you ought
to 'ear 'im talk. Some o' the fel
lows claim that its unlucky to get
"im started. They sye that one o'
'is 'earers is sure to click within a
few days' time, but if you fellows
want to tyke the chance, I'll go over
to 'is section, which is occupying the
second firebay on our left, and see
if I can get 'iin to tell us about 'is
brother. But, now mind, this fel
low is a little balmy in 'is napper,
so don't myke fun of Mm."
I confess that I was glad to be rid
of him, but my curiosity overcame
my fears, so I asked Curly to go
ahead. The rest of the crew weakly
assented, and Curly went after Jer
ry's brother. In about twenty min
utes he returned with htm. Jerry's
brother came over and sat on the
firestep next to me. He sat silent
for a few minutes, and then, in a
thin piping, high-pitched voice,
spoke:
"So you want to 'ear about Jerry,
do you? They called him 'Aunted
Jerry', but he weren't 'aunted; 'e
could just see—'e could see into the
future; could sort o' tell what was
agoin' to 'appen. 'E could talk to
the dead, they they told 'im. 'E al
ways 'ad spirits around Mm-—ghosts,
you call 'em, but there ain't no such
thing as ghosts—they're souls awan
derin' around; they're about us now
—I slowly eased down the firestep
away from him.
"Jerry used to talk to the dead;
'e would sit in a cemetery at night
while in rest billets, and receive
messages from them what can't
speak no more.
"Sometimes, lyte at night, I can
'ear far aw'y voices callln' to me, but
as yet cawn't understand 'em, but I
will—l will."
My blood began to curdle.
Curly Wallace, placing his hand,
on the speaker's knee, softly said: |
"Righto, mate, we know you can
see far beyond us, but tell us of
'Aunted Jerry, and the poem e
wrote the day before 'e clicked it at
the lone tree."
Jerry's brother nodded in a com
prehending way, and reaching into
the pocket of his tunic, drew out a
creased and muddy piece of paper,
which he opened out upon his knee,
and then, in an unnatural, singsong
voice, which sent shivers through
us, recited the following poem:
"Between the lines, in 'No Man's
Land,'
With foliage gone, and trunk that's
torn,
A lonely sentry takes his stand,
Silently watching 1 from morn to
morn.
On starlit night, when moon is
bright,
And spreads its rays of ghostlike
beams;
Against the sky, that tree of blight,
A ghastly hangman's gibbet seems.
When night is black and wind's
faint sigh
Through its shell torn branches
moans.
A call to men, 'To die, to'die,'
They answer it with groans and
groans. •
But obey the call, for 'more' and
more,"
And Death sits by and grins and
grins, ,
And watches the fast growing score,
The harvest of his sentry's whims.
There they lie huddled, friend and
foe,
Ghastly heaps, Knglish, Hun and
French—
And still those piles forever grow,
They are fed by the 'Men of the
Trench.'
No wooden cross to mark their fall,
No tombstone theirs, no carven
rocks.
Just the Lone Tree with its grim
call,
Which forever mocks and mocks."
When Jerry's brother had finished
a dead silence ensued. 1 nervously
lighted a fag, and out of the corner
of my eye noticed ,that Sailor Rill
was uneasily squirming on the fire
step.
Letting out a sigh, which seemed
to whistle between his teeth our
"guest" carried on:

Power Winch on Duplex
Truck Hoists Smoke Stack
Due to the great demand from
lumber concerns, machinery houses,
oil refineries and safe and machin
ery movers for motor trucks equipp
ed with power windlasses, the Duplex
Truck Company is now installing on
its four-wheel drive truck, as special
equipment, a power winch of ten
ton capacity.
The power winch furnished with
Duplex Trucks is operated from the
transmission by a worm and worm
wheel. An exclusive feature is the
fact that the winch is located under
the drivers seat and uses none of
the space back of the seat. It has
been throughly tested by the Duplex
engineers and is declared to be sat
isfactory in every way.
The accompanying photograph
shows a Duplex power windlass
hoisting* a sixty-foot section of a
smoke stack at the Duplex factory
in Lansing. The section is forty
inches in diameter and weighs five
tons. It was easily lifted into place
by the winch, the hoisting operation
requiring but a few minutes. •
Alien Enemies Discharged
From Yards by U. S. Order
Philadelphia, Feb. 16.—Shipyards
in and around Philadelphia yester
day received orders from the De
partment of Justice Washington to
discharge all alien enemies employed
in their plants. Shortly after this or
der was received the New York
Shipbuilding plant in Camden dis
charged more than thirty men who
had been working in that yard
since the beginning of the war.
DESERTER ARRESTED SECOND
TIME ON THREE CHARGES
Albert Beauchamp, 29, was arrest
ed by City Detective Hyd> Specso in
Carlisle, last night and is being held

Beauchamp is said to have stolen
an officer's touring car at Washing
ton and left it at a local garage
here. A description ot the man came

Pteelton. He was taken back to
Washington, where he escaped trom
the military guard. Wora was re
ceived here of his escap s, and Speese
arrested him at Carl'sle. He resist
ed arrest, and the Carlisle police
chief accompanied S;jeese to this city
with the man, where he is now
lodged in the Daujhin county Jail.

to Washington.
CROUP & SOKE THROAT
RELIEVED IMMEDIATELY
If Your Child Hawks and
Coughs, Simply Apply Cam
phorole to Throat and Chest
So many people neglect their children's
cough until it may develop into whooping
cough, croup, or bronchitis. Then you
would wish you had a jar of CAMPOROLK
handy. It quickly touches the spot and
gives sure relief. The remarkable success
of CAMPHOROLE is entirely due to Win
tergreen, Menthol and Camphor, prepared
in • synthetic way to give results.
CAMPHOROLE is recomended for Whoop

Asthma. Sore Throat. Tonsilitis. Pleurisy
and Neuralgia. v At all druggists.^
TECHBOYSSTUDY
NATIONAL LIFE
War Conditions and Big Busi
ness Problems Are
Taken Up
Every student of the Technical
High School Is studying the lessons
in community and national life, a
series of leaflets published each
month during the school year by the
Department of Education at Wash
ington, wliieh is co-operating with
the United States Food Administra
tion.
The leaflets treat of every phase of
the various conditions as they have
been produced by the war-time con
ditions. Some of the leaflets show
how the National Government par
ticipates through its executive de
partments in the economic organiza
tion of the country, while others
treat of the necessity for economy in
every field. Manufacturing and dis
tribution of products are also dis
cussed. The lessons are graded, and
are used in the high schools as well
as the intermediate schools of Har
risburg.
"A Word a Day" is the slogan that
has been adopted by the sections of
the junior class in the study of Eng
lish. New words are gathered from
ccnversation and reading, and each
one is to be used three times a day
until It becomes a part of the stu
dent's vocabulary. The plan has been
adopted by the sections taught by
Professor A. B. Wallize. The effect
of the war upon fiction and poetry
is also attracting the attention of
the students. War-time conditions
produce a different kind of poetry
and fiction than is written in times
of peace, is what they are discov
ering.
Elected Historian
The Camera Club will meet next
Wednesday afternoon after school in
the science lecture room. The mem
bers will discuss "General Darkroom
Conditions." Earl D. Schwartz will
preside.
Paul Shank has been elected his
torian of the junior class. He suc
ceeds one of the members who left
school. Gilbert Ebner is president;
Andrew Musser, vice-president; Wil
liam Fortna, treasurer, and Kenneth
Boyer, secretary.
A. B. Kuhn, a former Chambers
burg teacher, has charge of the
classes in Eatln. Prior to coming to
Tech he taught at Bloomfield, N. J.
Professor Kuhn succeeds Merrill W.
Yost, who was recently drafted into
the National Army.
William Watson, a member of the
senior class, sang "Keep the Home
Fires Burning" as a tenor selection
yesterday morning during chapel.
The entire school sang the chorus.
Professor J. W. Campbell is fram
ing a course of reading of books for
beys. The frame will be hung in the
hall. The selections are made from
a report on home reading by a com
mittee of the National Council of
Teachers of English.
Reports have been mailed out to
the students of the upper clashes for
the first sftmsster. The ex
aminations were held last week.
Miss Saul, the secretary, will mail
the remainder of the reports during
the coming week.
Predicts Great Demand
For Motor Trucks
Although their are large govern
ment demands and the steadily in
creasing volume of domestic business
the Packard Motor Car Company is
able to meet deliveries. This is
due to a vastly increased factory
production. In commenting upon
this situation Mr. B. B. Harrington,
manager of the Harrisburg Branch
of Packard Motor Car Company of
Philadelphia, states that the retail
sales of motor trucks is exceeding
any past record. This condition is
particularly true of the points in
the east and the volume of truck sales
in Philadelphia and in Harrisburg
is taxing the delivery situation to
the greatest extent.
More inquiries have been made and
interest shown in motor trucks
equipment by the user and by new
prospecls in Harrisburg than ever
before. Immediate purchase of
trucks which are wanted for spring
delivery is urged while is is possible
to obtain the size and style of truck
which may be needed.
Building Operations Are
Brisk Despite the War
Building operations throughout
the country last month maintained
about the same average in construc
tion work as during the nine pre
ceding months, according to the
American Contractor, but the total
reports from 111 cities show a de
crease of forty-six per cent, in com
parison with 1917 figures.
In Harrisburg the operations show
a one per cent, increase, eight per
mits being issued for work which
will cost $17,450. Only twenty-five
of the cities show increases, ranging
from one to 625 per cent., while
decreases are less than !0f per cent.
Total permits issued were 10,703 for
work to cost J26.''S9 082.
Most of this is of the essential
type, while the scarcity of residents
and decrease in construction work
of this kind is being reported from
practically every city.
Fuel Administrators Study
Coal Conditions in State
Fuel Administrator Ross A. llickok
went to Philadelphia to-day to dis
cuss with State Admln'.strator Potter
the best means for taking -;are of
the coal resources next spring nnd
summer, in order that the shortage
of the present winter will not be
repeated next year. The conference
is called between all Pennsylvania
county fuel administrators and a
representative of Dr. OSartleld. A
number of changes in tho handling
of coal may be announced following
the conference. It is likely that a
zoning system will be established
and the price of coal from independ
ent companies be reduced 20 cents a
ton.--
Automobile Increase
Efficiency and Save Time
In the present upheaval the ques
tion to ask oneself is: "An\ I effic
ient?" says E. C. Ensminger, Dort
distributer.
"We all owe the best that Is in us
to the great cause our country i 3
fighting for. Are you giving It?
Are you making the most of your
time?
"The automobile Is one of the
most potent means of putting you on
edge for your work and getting you
to it quickly. It is an all important
link in the nation's transportation
sysstem. It is a preserver of health,
and a builder of energy. It mimin
izes miles, demolishes distance. It
Is the most essential of our products,
for its use vitally concerns the manu
-1 facturer and sale of all the others.".

Anti-Freeze Economy,
Too, in the Cadillac
Alcohol is given a high efficiency
rating as an anti-freezing agent
when used in proper solution in the
radiator of motor-cars. The chief
obstacle to its successful use is the
fact that it evaporates very rapidly
when the solution becomes heated.
The Cadillac engineers have found
a simple means of making sucessful
the use of alcohol. Their device is
"an alcohol reclaimer," which gath
ers the vapor rising irom the warm
alcohol and water, reduces it to
liguid form and returns it to the
radiator.
The condenser by which this is
accomplished is protected by patent
rights. It is exceedingly simple in
construction and entirely automatic
in action, requiring no attention on
the part of the operator. It consists
of a small tank under tho. front
floor, connected by tubing to the
overflow pipes which runs from the
upper part of the radiator.
The tank is kept half full of the
same liquid as in the cooling system.
Alcohol fumes driven from the anti
freezing mixture in the cooling sys
tem nass through the tube and are
foroed up through the cool liquid
in the condenser. In bubbling
through the cool liquid the fumes
are condensed, returning to liquid
form.
As the liquid in the radiator cools
and contracts a partial vacuum is
formed in tho upper part of the rad
iator, and atmospheric pressure on
the liquid in the condenser forces
surplus liquid back into the radiator.
It is not unusual for condenser
equipped Cadillacs to be driven long
distances under heavy loads without
appearable diminution of the supply
of cooling liquid. A very exacting
test made by the United States Signal
Corps showed that only two table
spoonfuls of water had been used
in a drive of ninety-three miles. In
another test, in Texas, during mid
summer, it was found necessary to
add only a gallon and a half of water
to the radiator in 5,000 miles of run
ning.
Galion Awarded Big
