He was J then a sailor on, board one of the [ # \ <>ssels which had been taken the Germans and ; RAYMOND was waiting or-1 WILKIN'S ders to go abroad with supplies. i This sailor who this week visited his sister. Mrs. Herbert Washlger, : i 230 South Second street, is now serving on a United States transport., .i and has made three trips across and '• back. He has had some narrow es- j capes, and his tales are full of thrills, j He was on a flve-day furlough to: his parents at Johnstown and stopped I off here to visit his sister and other; friends. He was not in the city long, j as a hurry call was received to re- j port at once, and Wilkins is now out j i on the ocean. Referring to his ex periences he said: "I sometimes thought my end was! : near, but I thought wrong, and now ! you could not get me away from the ! service. The navy is the place for, young men. I was assigned to duty I on board one of the German ves-1 sels seized by the United States, and : made one trip across. We were to ! take over some supplies from Can- i ad;), and was about 25 miles out ol Halifax when the explosion occurred. The concussion was felt plainly on our boat. "It was some time before we got j word what had happened, and de tails were sent to the scene of the explosion to lend any aid that was possible. About 1,000 sailors were on duty. Some days later we start ed across. It was a thrilling trip, dodging submarines. Our best time was after dark. Once a periscope was discovered. Several shots were fired and we did not see that peris cope again. Can't tell what hap pened, but guess the Germans went ' H down with the submarine. "On.-e while running under cover of darkness we hit another boat. It was some bump and everybody on ! board took to the life boats. When daylight came we were towed Into port where repairs were made. One man was killed. Once we hit a storm. We had to creep along and our coal supply was exhausted be-: I ' cause of a four-day tie upp. We fi j nally reached a coaling station, but I it was some job. "At one time when a U-boat came after us, one of our shots hit the submarine. A shrapnel on our boat exploded, killing three and wounding several others. I think \.-e have the I'-boats beaten now. However, the same care is taken on i very trip and we take 110 chancfes. Good time is now being made in I across." Raymond Wilkins is but 24 years; of age. He is a son of Mr. and Mi*. William H. Wilkins. Morellville, nqur' Johnstown. He enlisted in the Navy j last August, and was sent to Chi-1 1 ago where he trained. He had been ! employed as a rigger at the Cambria j t'teel Company, Johnstown, and was. made a member of the crew that took charge of the German boat when It was taken over. He has traveled 30,000 miles and has been in England, Franks. Bermuda Islands, West Indies, Honolulu and H through the Panama Canal and Gutamala Bay. While in Paris he was very much impressed with the scarcity of men. He says all who are able are in the war. He tells interesting stories about the work \ women are doing abroad. On his j return to this country he hopes to' get another five-day furlough and j will again visit his sister. The lat- j ■ ter is a war bride, having married last Thanksgiving Day. Her hus band is a member of the 304 th Engi neers Corps, now training at Camp 1 Meade and who expects to go abroad j very soon.

Tobaccoless day will be added to the long list of "less" days if tho plan originated by Mrs. H. G. Huber, head of the Knola unit of the Pennsylvania Women's I>ivision For War Relief No. 7, goes into effect. At the monthly business meeting of the local unit held Thurs day in the rooms of the Knola P. R. It. Y. M. C. A.. Mrs. Huber proposed her plan to have the men. not only cf this vicinity, but everywhere, to ob serve every Thursday in May as Tobaccoless days and give the money usually spent for tobacco and smok ing to the War Relief Units and Red Cross organizations, for the purchase of materials for making hospital sup plies. Captains will be selected to solicit, money* from the men in this vicinity by Mrs. Huber and the names will be published later in the month. There is quite a coincident in hav ing Thursday as the tobaccoless day. May will start on a Wednesday and the campaign will open the next day and the last Thursday is Memorial Day, when the big drive will be made for funds from the smokers. Members of the local unit think that the men should show the organiza tions that they can and will make this sacrifice during the. next month.

J.. claims to be the first community in the country to raise i's allotment l&jthe third Liberty Loan, and yesterday notified Govern or E. P. Passmoie, of the Third Fed eral Reserve Bank, that it expects to secure the honor flag. The town's quota is $67,760. It has already raised $68,000, and expects to more than double that before the end of the campaign. The honor flag compelitipn was made a part of the tliii Loan campaign to stim ulate rivalry throughout the coun try. Secretary McAdoo several weeks ago appointed J. H. Burton, a New York broker, to plan the details, and he planned that every community In the country with a population of 300 or ever should have a quota, and the first to raise the quota would be pre sented with a flag by the United States, and at the flag-raising exer cises Secretary McAdoo would make the address and. if possible. President Wilson would come. If Elmer gets the honor, the citizens feel sure they can persuade President Wilson to at tend, it being his own state. lloslon.

Lord Reading, with the request it be transmitted through the press to tho women ol the United States: "As president of the British Red Cress Society. I wish to send to the women of our great ally, the United States of America, a message of greeting upon the first anniversary of America's entry into the war. It is my earnest prayer that God in H(s merciful providence may guide and guard ourrightcbus cause. •ALEXANDRA." EUTONS TURNED BACK IN EFFORT TO TAKE AMIENS and the Somme, near the junction of these rivers. .The. advance appeared to have as its objective the gaining of the Albert-Amiens road which runs in this sector-just to the northwest of Corbie. On the anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the war the greatest battle in that conflict is still being waged 011 the battlefields of Picardy. Their great attack halted, the Germans are making strong but ineffectual efforts to break throug lithe al lied lines or bend them back so as to gain Amiens and complete the lirst stage of the advance which began at St. Quentin. "All Is Well," Says Foch With Confidence General Foch. the commander in chief and under whose orders more than 100,000 American troops are ready aid the French and British, declares that the Boche tidal wave is broken.. "All is going well," he adds and expresses confidence in the future. As proof of his statement is the fact that in the past two days the enemy has made only slight gains 011 a 38-mile front and these have been equalized in part by Franco-British advances at some point. Germans Sustain Heavy Casualties French resistance broke the German storm Thursday south of the Somme and north of the river the British 011 Friday showed the same stern mettle before furious assaults. The sudden switch in the attack to a front of twenty miles north of the Somme may have been made to catch Field Marshal Uaig napping, but. if so, the attempt was futile. As in the attack against the Franco- British front, the Germans sustained heavy casualties in their fruitless efforts against the British. British Lines Hold Against Attack Derancourt and Albert, along the Ancre, were positinos most heavily attacked by the enemy, while a strong assault was made near Moyenneville 20 miles north of Somme, For many hours the enemy surged against the British line, but succeeded only in gaining a footing in the foremost trenches at Derancourt. South west of Albert, a British counterattack drove the enemy from tho front line positions he had entered there. Tn Offensive Move British Take Prisoners At Moyenneville the enemy was thrown back with loss. Be tween this point and Albert, in the region of Mesnil, the Germans were unable to dislodge the British from their defenses. South east of Gommecourt, in the region of Serre, north of Mesnil, the British launched an attack and captured 120 prisoners. French Repel Teutons Near Montdidier In vigorous counterattacks the French have driven the Ger mans from some positions north of Montdidier. At Maillv-Raine ya 1, where he made gains, Thursday the enemy was driven back rurther south, at Cantigny the French attackers gained and held the noriperri and western outskirts of the town. On the Lassigny- Noyoti stctor the French also made a slight advance north of Mount Renaud. There has been lively artillery activity here as well as around Verdun. American Troops Learning to Fight Under Fire I lie end of America's first war year finds more than 1,500,000 soldiers under arms, many thousands of whom are in France. On several sectors of the fighting front American troops are facing the foe and learning how to fight and overcome a cunning and ruthless enemv. "The war expenditure has been $12,000,000,000 for the first year. Uncle Sam's navy, greatly enlarged, continues to aid the allied fleets in keeping the vital sea lanes open against the sub marines and to hold the enemy navy within its harbors. Japanese naval forces have been landed at Vladivostok, East ern Siberia to protect Japanese citizens and property. The land ing is declared to have 110 connection with the possibility of armed Japanese intervention in Siberia. BULLERSEESA BETTER SEASON Says That Weather Condi tions Have Facilitated Plant- ing of State's Trout "Pennsylvania ought to have a line trout season. The spring has come early and the fish seein to be in rood shape," declared Nathan R. Buller, State Commissioner of Fish eries, in a forecast of the 1y 1S sea son. which begins on April 15. "This will be the lirst year under the new fish code which cuts the catch down to twenty-five. The number of fish ermen ought to be large this year, if the inquiries we get about streams} is anything to judge from. "The state has been sending out fish from Kellefonte hatchery for several weeks," he continued. "We started the trout from the place first as we had some line ones able to take care of themselves and of the stock fish variety. Since then, we have been shipping from Qovry and Pleasant Mount. This work has gone on in conjunction with sportsmen and we have endeavored to get the fish to places where they were need ed. There are a number of streams stocked last fall which show up fav orably. I see no reason why, if the weather stays good, we should not have a fine trout season." Large numbers of Susquehanna salmon are being prepared for dis tributidn to the inland lakes and streams. These fish have been rais ed in numbers and have been suc cessfully planted. The distribution will be in full swing soon. State game and fish wardens are after* men who have been selling bass in the open markets. In some cities they are reported as being dis played on stalls. No Trace of Invalid Who Escaped Home Is Found The family of A, S. N'eal, the in valid who disappeared from his licrtne ,1728 Logan street, Wednes day, expect momentarily to receive news of the finding of his body in the mountains. It has become cer tain in their minds that the old man wandered into the hills and died of exposure. A constant search of the hills by his friends and state police has so far been unsuccessful. A report reached the city to-day that he was seen near Heckton yesterday, but this report was not verified. Mr. Neal, previous to his disap pearance, was unable to walk about in his home without assistance, and his wife, Mrs. Catharine Neal, who was a constant attendant at his bed side, Is unable to account for his oomplete disappearance.

The Governor spoke at three meetings on the main line near Philadelphia, addressing members of the Main Line Forum at their Inst meeting of the season and the War Conservation Bazar, in Ardi more, and later speaking to the members of the Booker T. Washing ton Business Men's League at Hav erford, which society dedicated a new building during the evening. In speaking to the Forum mem bers, lie advocated with great ear nestness the adoption of the Federal prohibition amendment and also came out unqualifiedly in favor of the elimination of German from the public schools. He addressed the audience at the bazar on "Food Conservation," stat ing that housewives should watch closely for wastage from flic kitchen and use every effort to help Hoover ize the country in order to assist the allies, lie also brought out a few pertinent facts along the same line by his reference to the recently en acted dog law. He said that d'urintr the' past year over $18,000,000 was spent in Pennsylvania for food for dogs, which was entirely too much and urged the obliterating of a great percentage of the dogs of the state, many of which, he said, are running at large throughout the countrv dis tricts, committing depredations and harm to farmers, especially those who are interested in sheep raising.
