Picked Up WlrrlM* The Olenart Castle sank at 4 o'clock In the morning on February 26. The destroyer, although far distant, pick ed up a wireless message and hur ried to the scene, where she search ed the choppy aea for survivors. The first one was sighted at 1 o'clock In the afternoon—a lone man on a raft. In these submarine-Infested waters It was Impossible for the destroyer to halt and launch boats. She threw a line to the survivor, but, b e was so weak that he became entangled in the line and was carried astern of the destroyer and severely cut by her propellers. He managed, however, to climb back on the raft. Jumprd to Hrwnc The destroyer circled the scene r.nd as It passed the raft again Quar termaster J. C. Cole Jumped overboard and brought the man back to the destroyer. He was a fireman, Jesse White, of Southampton. He died la ter on board the destroyer, which continued her search, and In tha course of the afternoon sighted three more groups of survivors clinging to rafts and wreckage, all of whom were similarly rescued. In congratulating the crew of the destroyer, Vice-.Admiral Sims, com mander of the American naval forces in the war zone, telegraphed: "The work done in wintry seas and gales by all the destroyers' crews lias been inspiring, but none more so than the Parker'*." One of the survivors who was res cued late in the afternoon said he sighted a submarine while he was struggling in the water. The U-boat passed within a few yards of him. There were two Germans on her deck. He hailed her and asked for help, but the Germans paid no atten tion to him. Survivor* Ilescued In all, nine survivors were rescued by the Parker, of whom one died on board the destroyer. All were land ed in Wales. The Americans who jumped into the water in the course of these res cues. in addition to Quartermaster Cole, were: R. K. Hosses, boatswain's mate. David Goldman, machinist's mate. Jerry Quinn. coxswain. F. W. Beeghley, yeoman. W. W. Mathews, ship's cook. J. Newman, seaman. T. F. Troue. seaman. The official report of the sinking of the Glenart Castle, on which it is estimated 153 persons lost their lives, announced that survivors had been landed by an American torpedo boat destroyer, the name of which was not given.

ANIMALS HAVE DAMAGED TREES Game and Rodents Fed on Bark During Long Winter Fruit trees in many parts of the state have suffered from the hunt of mice and rabbits for food dur-' ing the severely cold periods of thisj winter and many valuable orchards j have been considerably damaged ac- I cording to reports reaching the j State Commission of Agriculture. | The conditions are reported to be so j bad in some sections that a bulle-j tin giving information has been pre-! pared. ' . The bulletin says: "Some of the trees undoubtedly! can be saved if the owners will act j quickly. In gnawing off the outside bark it sometimes happens that the rodents do not seriously injure thej cambium layer enough being left to sustain life in the _ tree until growth takes place. In such >. ses the wound should be covered with something to keep it moist. Com mon practices are to cover it with clay or with cow manure or a mix ture of both holding' it in place .by wrapping rags or burlap about the injured portion. Another method sometimes used is to melt grafting wax and dip strips of cotton cloth in it and wind them about the tree. Three or four thicknesses of this will be enough to prevent the dry ing of the wound. "Where more serious injury has been done and the cambium layer has been destroyed the only way that the trees can be saved is to bridge graft. Small twigs the size of a lead pencil are cut just long enough to fit into the bark above and be low the wound. The ends are trim med down the same as when graft ing and inserted under the bark. Then the wound is covered with rags that have been dipped in grafting wax. These should be applied be fore the wax cools. "Some of this injury has been dona by the pine mice. These little creatures work in the mole's runs and so are seldom seem. They peel the mark from that portion of the trunk that is underground and also from the roots. In such cases but little can be done. "If attempts to save your trees fail which will be known in the late spring, it is advisable to cut the tree off as the lower edge of the wound and let a good sprout develop into which a bud or two can be set in July or Aiigust, of the desired va riety, or allow that sprout to grow and treat just as if it were a young tree. There will be the disadvan tage of leaving a bad stump. "The unusual winter with deep snows has caused the rabbits and mice to feed principally on bark. The depth of snow has brought in jury in many orchards to the branches of the trees above the trunk. Every owner should exam ine his trees at the first opportun ity."

Name Street City State PLAN to PLANT and WIN the WAR Methodists Plan Merger; Combined Branches Would Make Huge Membership Louisville —Unification of the two great branches of the Methodist church, the Northern and the South ern, with a combined membership of about 7,000,000 persons, is prac tically certain to take place within six years, according to n statement by the Rev. Frank M. Thomas, pas tor of the Fourth Avenue Methodist Church, who has just returned from Savannah, Ga„ where he spent two weeks as secretary of the joint com mission appointed to consider plans for unification. Another session of the joint com mission will be held in St. Louis beginning April 10, for the purpose of adopting proposals already ten tatively passed upon. "Only a thin line now divides the two sreat branches of Methodism," said Dr. Thomas. "Practically every problem of re-union has been solved. Another thing, the formation of a new church h; to be laid from the best elements of the old. We have really got to build a world church, for Methodism is at home in every land. * One General Conference "The union of the Methodist Epis copal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South will make a membership of about 7,000,000, and we are expecting other Metho dist organizations to come in later. One is the Methodist Protestant Church. Another is the Japanese Methodist Church, which has been independent. In forming a world church the idea is to have one gen eral conference, and in time asso ciate general conferences, one for northern Asia, one for India, one for Europe, one for Soifth America and perhaps others later. "The meeting at Savannah was most important and successful. The commission left feeling that solu tion of all problems involved in uni fication was near. "If everything is agreed to at the St. Louis meeting the plan of uni fication can be brought before thte Methodist Church South for ratifi cation at the general conference in Atlunta next May. While the gen eral conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will not be held regularly until 1920, the bishops of that denomination have the author ity to call a special session if they deem it best. "Should the St. Louis session de velop agreement on every point it would be four or six years before we could get everything" working. "It has been discovered that $750,000 has been expended annu ally by the two great branches In competitive territory, places where one Methodist church could have done the work. This would be $7,- 500,000 in ten years, or enough money with what they already have to provide for all the superannu ated ministers." The name for the proposed new church has not been determined. Several titles are under considera tion. Boards Must Give Card Data at Once State draft* headquarters to-day called upon all local draft boards in the state to forward at once state ments regarding the condition of the occupational cards for the informa tion of the provost marshal-general. A number of boards are behind in gathering this Information and It Is proposed to issue a bulletin uporf the manner in which they have complied with the orders. Those which fall down will be bulletined in newspa pers. Draft headquarters to-day received schedules for the movement of the men to the aviation field at San An tonio. There will be 466 started from Pennsylvania on Friday and 224 the following day. Two special trains will start from Philadelphia. The quotas for each board for the latest call are being worked out. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH War Time Lexicon (Copy riff lit, 1018, by British Ca nadian Recruiting Mission, which maintains depots in all large cities where mini, except Americans, may volunteer.) Poison ins Gas: First employed by the Germans at the battle of the Somme. The first gas used was chlorine and after the first surprise attack, the British learned to know it by the yellow, low-roiling clouds sweeping across No Man's Land. Since then other gases have been employed by both sides, the composition of which is regarded as a military secret. One gas employed by the Germans is in visible and not distinguishable, it is said, until the victim falls dead. Protection against this deadly chem ical is found in the rats which in habit the trenches and succomb more quickly than men to its effects, thus acting as detectors. Gas shells contain various compositions, cal culated to spread rapidly in all di rections when the shell explodes. The advantage of gas shells is more apparent when it is remembered that the first method of shooting gas from a nozzle, was only possible when the wind was in the right di rection to carry it away from the Huns' own lines. Sometimes, even so, they suffered from their own weapon. Both methods are still em ployed, however, and every soldier must carry gas masks as part of his regular equipment in the field. Gas inhaled destroys the lung tissues, and is both very painful and suffocating. American Envoy's Wife Back Home From Sweden IRA HTvJ>SOH MORRIS.

WAR ROMANCE ENDS 1 PARIS Pierre Giraud, Hero of Char leroi, Sentenced to Five Years in Jail Paris.—One of the stirring ro mances of the war had a melancholy ending in one of the criminal courts of Paris a few days ago, when Pierre Giraud, one of the heroes of Oharleroi, was sentenced to five years' imprisonment for purloining letters containing money and valu ables to the ampunt of more than 400,000 francs. The execution of the sentence was suspended on the rec omrtiendation of the* jury. Vnder Mllltnry Aire, Knllated Giraud, under military age, enlist ed at the outbreak of the war and was in the disaster at Charleroi. Hit by an explosive bullet, he lay on the field three days and three nights be fore he was picked up by a Belgian manufacturer who went over the field with a motorcar seeking for overlooked wounded. Taken to a hospital in Charleroi, he was nursed by the daughter of the man who saved him. she aided him to escape. Helping him into one of the coffins provided for the head of the hospital, she got him into the morgue, where he remained ten hoars before a chance was found to transfer him in a wheelbarrow to the home of the girl's father. His hiding place was discovered tlvough denunciation, but Girftud es caped on crutches before the Ger mans could get him, and, after vari ous vicissitudes, reached the fron tier of Holland, from whence he re 'turned to France byway of Eng land. His nurse followed him and their adventure developed into a n.arriage as soon as Giraud's wound was healed. Glrnud Won Reinitiated Decorated with the military medal and the war cross, Giraud was rein stated in his former employ at the general post office. He was charged with the super vision of the department of regis tered letters, in which important thefts occurred. Losses of letters containing large j si.ms of money continued through' ten months before Giraud fell under suspicion. A search of his residence revealed a hoard of about 400.00 ft francs In banknotes and securities that he had extracted from regis tered letters. Of that sum, less than 10,000 francs had been applied to Giraud's personal use. Giraud said in court that he had no idea what he would have done with the money and _ securities. Tha jury concluded that he committed the thefts under mental aberration resulting from his wound and the (bufferings he had endured. An odd development of the case is that the owners of the money and securties have no recourse against the state for the recovery of their property, because in each case they had infringed the laws governing the expedition of valuables by registered letter. Consequently, the state is richer by 282,000 francs in bank bills and 150,000 francs in securities snd jewelry through Giraud's aberra tions. BUTTON'S SIDE OP IT Seward K. Button, State Chief of Mines, to-day declared his department was not in politics and denied that inspectors had been sent blank peti tions for J. Denny o'Ne4l. Reports from western counties have been to the effect that inspectors had re fused to circulate /petitions.
