PARK HAS WARM WELCOME FOR THE YANKEE WOUNDED I Most of Them Lightly Enough Hurt to Enjoy Shop Girls' Devotion Paris, July 9.—American wounded arriving here met with the afime cheering reception accorded the first arrivals early in the Marne battle. What a rousing welcome they gave Americans returning to "Pan ami." as the poilu has taught the Yank to call Paris. The crowd gath ered from nowhere in an instant with that electric excitement ao peculiar to a French crowd. Most of the men were lightly wounded. They smiled grimly at the cheering throngs. As they passed from tho station Into waiting Red Cross cars and ambulances, shopgirls flung down coppers on nearby flower stands and hurriedly rushed over and thrust bouquets upon them. The Red Cross chauffeurs almost hud to piy the girls off the ambu lances, and the buddies sort of seemed to resent the fact that they did finally succeed in doing so. The Parisienne likes nothing better than to be seen with a wounded soldier. Decorations for bravery appeal to her, but legions of honor and war crosses cannot com pare, in her estimation, with the privilege of walking with a soldier lad who has been "la bas," up there, where the steel cracks open and tears the flesh. And the nastier the wound, the greater the honorable disfiguration, the tighter she clings to the arm of her hero. It is some times a sight that brlnjrs tears to the eyes. The families of France are tak ing our wounded lads into their homes, and Franoe could pay no greater compliment to Americans. For the French family, even the humblest, is as difficult for a stranger to break into in ordinary circum stances as Ward McAllister's ancient "400." FESTIVAL AT MTXJ/TOWX ShJrentanstowii, Pa-.

HUWISBURO tf£Ml TELEGRAPH! NEWS OF WEST SHORE FIREMEN FIGHT HIGHER FARES West Shore Union Is Taking Steps to Prevent Increase on Valley Lines • West Falrview, Pa., July 9.—De ciding to have a conference with of ficials of the Valley Railways Com pany to ascertain why an increase of two cents in trolley fare is necessary, the West Shore Firemen's Union in monthly session in the Good Will Fire Company house here last even ing, passed a resolution showing its intention of taking every possible step to keep down rates. Admitting that the price of ma terial and labor have taken unpre cedented increases in the last year, members of the executive committee were of the opinion that the fare should not be Increased to seven cents. These conditions, of course, the members admitted they are not in very close touch with and would await the outcome of a conference with C. H. Bishop, president of the company, before they recommend other methods of keeping the rates down. In its monthly report the execu tive committee recommended the Union to take this step and brought out that the company officials prom ised several months ago that if it was necessary to increase the rates the transfer zone would be extended to Enola. L. L. Hammaker, member of the committee, said that when a committee from the Union met with Mr. Bishop to talk over a proposed extension of the transfer zone, the company official informed Union members that if the Union would notpush the claim they did not think it necessary to increase the rates. They assured the committee, accord ing to Mr. Hammacker, that the transfer zone would be extended if an increase was'necessary. Members of the committee ap pointed to discuss the action of the Union with Mr. Bishop are: L. L. Hammacher, Lemoyne; J. H. Hurn mel, New Cumberland; H. H. Way, Enola; Harper Lantz, West Fair view; J. Groff Sheaffer and J. Fred Hummel, Wormleysburg. On recommendation of the execu tive committee, the secretary was authorized to notify the Western Union Telegraph Company to remove wires at the west end of the Walnut street bridge, because they endanger pedestrians. Repairs to the Cumberland Valley railroad bridge at Lemoyne and the bridge crossing the creek at West Fairview, were recommended by members of the U®' on ' The secre tary was authorizd to notify the Cumberland Valley railroad and the Cumberland county officials of the Union's action. The Union decided to postpone ac tion in the centrally located fire company until after the war.
