I eral months ago
& z Raymond Wil-
~'M kins, a former
SHyl Harrisburger, was
one of the tlrst to |
reach the seen* 1
"i■ of the accident I
■ after the explo
■ sion, and to ren
■ der aid. 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.

SMOKELESS DAY
IS LATEST IDEA
Head of War Relief Unit
Wants Men to Observe Day
and Give Savings to War
i:uin. I'a., April 6. 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.

Kl.Hlilt, %, J„ CLAIMS
I.OAX IJHIVK HONORS
I'tiliarielphiii, April-C.—The town of
Elmer, X. 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.

"As president of the British Red

is my earnest prayer that God in

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

valid who disappeared from his
licrtne ,1728 Logan street, Wednes

seen near Heckton yesterday, but
this report was not verified.
Mr. Neal, previous to his disap

was a constant attendant at his bed
side, Is unable to account for his
oomplete disappearance.

GOVERNOR HITS
GERMAN COURSE
Would Have Teaching ol' the
Language Dropped From
Schools of the Stale
Governor Brumbaugh last night
declared that he favored dropping
leaching of German in the public
schools. 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.
