14 STEELTON AND NEARBY TOWNS PAVED HIGHWAY IS NOW ASSURED Ordinance Providing Building of Steel Will Be Presented to Council The first step toward the paving of Front street between the end of the present paving and Motor street, a oistance of about one and three quarter miles, was taken by council in special session last evening. At the meeting the ordinance committee was authorized to pre sent an ordinance at the next reg ular session of council providing for •'he paving of this section. The im provement, it was brought out, will be carried out under the law pro viding that the owners of adjacent property pay two-thirds of the cost and the borough the remainder. The slate and county commissioners will then be petitioned for appropria tions under a law which provides for the improvement of thorough lares leading into state highways. Borough officials were assured that the state would pay one-half the cost at a meeting with highway officials on Monday. Officials of the highway- department have recently communicated with the borough council urging the immediate pro cedure to place the road in good condition and offering their assist ance. On Mon lay, borough officials and Deputy Highway Commissioner Harry Biles held a joint conference to discuss the paving question. The borough was represented at this meeting by E. C. Henderson chair man of the highway committee of council; Councilman Wanbaugli, En gineer Callaghan, Street Commis sioner Meshey and Secretary Feidt. The state, it is understood ,is very anxious to see the street is paved as numerous complaints have been made about the poor condition of the highway recently. The government has complained on the grounds that by being compelled to travel this section of the street, trucks going to and from the Middletown jab are hampered to a great extent. The Harrisburg Motor Club has also filed a complaint with the state depart ment. The improvement, it is under stood, will cost between $50,000 and $75,000. About $50,000 will be need ed to build a concrete roadbed, while more money is necessary to con struct a brick highway. What ma terial will be used in building the road has not yet been decided.

WALLACE, LONG PROMINENT, DIES AT HOME Was Identified With Penn sylvania Railroad and Busi ness Enterprises in City THOMAS 1,. WALLACE Thomas Laird Wallace', aged 80, died last night at his late home, 214 Pine street, following a long illness. He was prominent in business cir cles of Harrisburg for many years. He was born in Clearfield and spent his early life there. At the age of ten, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallace, moved to I-iollidays burg. In 1857 lie became agent for the Pennsylvania railroad at Holli daysburg, and was transferred to Harrisburg in 1859. He served as clerk for John A. Connon. A few months later, Connon resigned and Wallace was appointed freight agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, al though he was only 22 years old. He resigned as freight agent Jan uary 1, 1898, because of ill health. He was connected with the division freight office as a solicitor, until he was retired in 1907, at the age of 70. He was greatly interested in the transportation business, organizing the Harrisburg Transfer Company and remaining as manager until April, 191K, when he retired. Mr. Wallace was a member of the Pine Street Presbyterian Church, joining in 1859. He was an active member in all the years of his church life and was president of the board of trustees. He was librarian of the Sunday school some years ago, and was deeply interested in the church work and the various organ izations. He was also a member of the board of directors of the Central Y. M. C. A. for many years and a mem ber of the state executive commit tee of the "Y." He was also an or ganizer of the P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Thomas L. Wallace, three daughters, Miss Helen Bruce Wallace, Mrs. Anne W. McLain, Mrs. Henry Loom is. two sons, Robert B. Wallace and William T. Wallace, one grand daughter, Margaret W. McLain, and one sister, Mrs. S. J. M. McCarrell. Mr. Wallace was known in rail road circles of the state and nation and is remembered as a man who was more than usually alert, both mentally and physically. He spoke at a number of railroad gatherings and his reminiscences have been published in a number of metro politan dailies. Horses, Burros, Rabbits Mexican Soldiers' Food Juarez, Mex. Horses, burros, rab bits and roots often form the only ration for the Mexican soldier who marches miles across the hot, sandy deserts on the scanty food he can com mandeer enroute. Troops have been passing through here recently marching to Ojinaga district without any commissary sup plies other than the half-starved horses and mules which thev - re often forced to kill to obtain food and a few bags of Mexican beans which are boiled over camp fires and seasoned with a few Chili peppers. Yet these soldiers are apparently sturdv men and have been known to march all day and fight all night without stop ping for rest or food. Since the days of the Mexican War of 18*18 the Mexican soldier's stamina on his unbalanced and scanty ration has been the marvel of American mili tary men. The Mexican Army fre quently lives on the land and the fare is as bare as the land over which they pass. Aside from the lack of proper, nour ishing food the Mexican soldier's life in the field is miserable. He is whipped for the most trivial infractions of the military rules, with the flat side of a saber or a heavy stick. He is forced to wear rags for a uniform, his feet are covered with thin, leather sandals and the only covering at night in the mountain country is a tattered zerape or shawl. Yet the Mexican common soldier can and does tight bravely after the Mexican fashion and is obe dient to his superior officers even to the point of charging a machine gun single handed. Rumanian $2,000 Nets Burglar Only S4O Cleveland.—One burglar in Cleve land must have worn a sad expres sion the other day.

At Kelly Field he is managing one of the camp baseball teams. Newspapers Play Big Part in War's Conduct l-iondon. —Lord Beaverbrook, head of the British propaganda depart ment, who is Max Aitkin, the writer of eye-witness accounts for the Ca nadian army early in the war, is try ing to obtain an increased supply of paper for daily and weekly publica tions issued in England. He believes that the restrictions on paper are too drastic. The newspapers, he ar gues, play such an important part in the conduct of the war that they should he treated more liberally by the government. POLISH TROOPS DOING WELL AGAINST HUNS With the French /winy in France. —Polish troops under officers of their own nationality have been for some little time in the line in one of the interesting sectors of the war front. They have done exceedingly well in the work they have so far had to do carrying out raids and bringing down a German airplane during the first few days in which they occupied the position. Their units are undergoing training back of the line. JTTNT? 20, 1918'. U.S. IS CAREFUL OF TRANSPORTS Elements of Danger in Trip Overseas Reduced to a Minimum I.ondcm—No greater care and sec recy could attend the shipment of royal jewels than js observed in shipping American troops to Franco. To safeguard his boys Uncle Sam takes every possible precaution, from the time they embark until the trans port has reached its destination. He leaves no loophole for the machina tions of enemy agents. Usually, as result of this elaborate protective system, the trip from "An Atlantic Port" to the French or Eng lish port, as the case may be, is re markably uneventful. All elements of of danger have been so carefully an ticipated that the risk is reduced to the lowest minimum. Until the troops and civilian pas sengers have reached the pier they do.not know the name of their ship. It is only a number to them. On the regular troopships it is difficult for a civilian, unless he is engaged in war work, to secure passage. Those who manage to do so are subjected to close scrutiny, and their creden tials and luggage arc thoroughly ex amined.

Once aboard, there they remain, no shore communication being pei - mitted. This regulation imposes no hardship other than inactivity.
