PROBING CAUSE 1
OF HOSE LOSS
700 Feet of Fire Hose De
stroyed by Acid, Is Belief
of Investigators
Deputy Are marshUs from the State
Department together with borough
authorities to-day were busy inves
tigating the supposed destruction of
TOO feet of Are hose owned by the
borough which was discovered at the
Are yesterday.
The hose, according to Fire Chief
O. E. B. Malehorn, was burned by J
acid and Is unable to be used The
chief said that the disabled hose was j
discovered when the Hygienic firemen
started to lay streams to the fire.
"We have no reports to niake on j
the investigation as time, but i
expect to have some startling news
to tell after a thorough lnvestiga- ;
tlon." Chief Malehorn said this morn
ing. Other than giving out this state- |
ment he refused to comment on the
matter. Firemen of the various com- j
panies were of the opinion that some j
members were angered over council s j
decision in granting the assignment i
of new hose to the down-town com
panies only. The Hygienlo Company '
was not given new hoße from the re- j
cent purchase, because, councllmen
say this company is not called on to
answer many alarms and the hose
Is needed bv the other companies.
Immediately after the damaged
hose was discovered, F*lre Chief Male
horn ordered the hose laid aside. The
hose was taken fro mthe Hygienic I
Company and placed at the Citizen
Hose House pending an Investiga
tion which is expected will not be j
completed for several days. The town i
property committee of council has in j
its possession a section of the hose [
and will also probe the cause of such i
action.
To replace the amVrrt of hose dl*- i
abled will mean the expenditure of
a large amount of monetr. When the |
last lot of hose was purchased coun- !
cil was compelled to pay 11.10 pef
foot.
The fire causing the destruction of ,
large quantities of hay, straw and j
feed, and barn owned by' the Cumb- ;
ler Estate and used by the steel
quarries, was discovered about J
o'clock by William Etnoyer, the |
stable boss. Etnoyer saw a small
stream of smoke coming from the j
roof and ran to turn in an alarm.
On his return he found the blaze hr.-d
gained considerable headway.
Eighteen head of horses were rescued
before the tire reached the stalls.
According to a report made by
Chief Malehorn this morniriff the loss
paused by the 'fire was estimated at
$7,50n. Of this amount tlwre was j
$5,000 worth of feed destmyed In the
barn The buying was valued at |
52.500. Flying embers gaa-r> the fire-1
men considerable trouble* Fires wer |
started in this manner at the Half-j
way House and the house adjoining. I
.three houses in Chambers street, and i
another in Second, at Chambers. In
every instance the watchfulness of the
firemen and occupants of the houses |
resulted in small loss, which was j
sustained by T. J. Nelfey. Mike Sos
tar and Theodore Yoselowtta. Kparks
and embers burned twelve holes In
the roof of the Half--way House,
which is owned by Nelles?-.

CHANGES FOLLOW
STATION ORDERS
General Superintendent N. W.
Smith Is Arranging For
Consolidations in East
As a result of the plans to con
solidate stations of competing rail
road lines in the east, important!
changes will be -announced shortly
by General Superintendent N. W.
[ Smith of the Eastern Division of the
i Pennsylvania railroad. He is now
I making a tour of the smaller lines j
I connecting the main line.
While no announcement has been,
made officially, there is a probability!
that the Reading and Columbia i
branch trains may run out of the;
Pennsy station at Lancaster. Thei
Cornwall offices and the Corhwall 1
and Lebanon headquarters, now the!
Lebanon division, may be operated j
in one building. There is also a)
probability that trains to and fromj
Lebanon will be operated out of Har- [
risburg, making Conewago a regular,
stop instead of a terminal point.
New Schedule Ncoejisary
On the Schuylkill Valley division a
number of stations have been con- 1
solidated. The Pennsy has issued n
new schedule covering all changes.'
The same plan, it is said, will be.
carried out on branch lines wherei
the Reading Company competes be
■ tween Harrlsburg and Coatesville. \
In order that the traveling public
may not be inconvenienced it is said
the main line schedule will be le-j
vised.
The Middle division, however, willj
not have many changes according
!to reports. This branch has no 1
competing lines, most of the smaller
branches operating under the di
rection of the Pennsy. There is to be
many changes on the Sunbury and
Williamsport divisions.

German Vandalism
at Chateau-Thierry
London, July 30. Evidence accu
mulates that during their brief stay
in the Marne sailent the Germans
again Indulged In wholesale acts of
vandalism. In a message sent from
French Army Headquarters, the Reu
ter correspondent giv&s details of
their conduct while In Chateau-
Thierry.
The Germans held the town some
time and apparently thought that
they would remain there indefinitely.
When they found that they would
have to give, it up they apparently
determined to take the only venge
ance in their power The injuries
which have been inflicted on the town
are such as could not be the result
of shelling, the correspondent points
out. as those houses wthich suffered
most were entirely uninjured by shell,
I shrapnel, or bullet.
| "These houses." he says, "were mag
| niltcently furnished, the walls hung
! with costly tapestries and admirable
| pictures. The furniture is of excep
j tional elegance, and impressive mir-
I rors and charming statuettes were
numerous. •
J "To-day there is nothing that has
not been destroyed. The tapestries
have been hacked to pieces, t.he pic
tures slit from corner to corner, the
leather and other chair coverings
have been ripped from their frames
and all the delicate marqueterie and
the erreplaceable examples of crafts
manship of past centuries have been
smashed. The legs have been torn olt
the tables and used in further work
of destruction. There Is a mir
ror which has not been broken, and
the glass and china flung at them lie
in fragments before them.
"The costly carpets have been soil
ed and rent in every possible way
and inkpots flung at the silken pa
pers on the walls. This vengeful fury
has been carried oven to the extent
of smashing nurseries and doll
houses. The fashion in which beds
and rooms have been defiled Is dif
ficult of description. It would seem
the work of lunatics."

AMERICAN ARMY
TO BE UNIFIED
Lines Separating Regulars, |
National Guard and National
Army Will Disappear
Washington, July 80.—A readjust
ment of the several combatant
ibranches of the United States Army
in the interest of co-ordination and
unity will soon be announced by the
War Department. Secretary Baker
yesterday declined to comment on
the new plan other than to say an
nouncement would be made shortly
by General March, the chief of the
general staff.
The understanding Is that the new
arrangement provides for erasing
the lines of differentiation between
the Regular Army, the National
Guard in the service of the United
States and the National Army, thus

The plan apparently contemplates
making It possible for troops of any
one of the three branches named to
be transferred Into either of the
other branches; or put In another
way, there will be no distinction be
tween soldiers or units of the pres
ent three branches. Officers of the
National Guard, for example, might
be transferred out of state organiza
tions into Regular Army or National
Guard commands, while officers ofi
the National Army might be sent tO'
state organizations now designated
as "National Guard in the service of
the United States." In the same man
ner, it is believed, regiments of the
National Guard or the National
Army might be brigaded with regi
ments of the Regular Army or reg
ular regiments transferred to brig
ades or divisions now entirely made
up of commands from the National
Guard or the National Army.
Up to this time the line of de
markation between the three
branches of the combatant military
service has been rather rigidly pre
served in the formation of units aa
large as divisions.
