Enlisted at Eighteen Always interested in things mili tary, Sergeant Russell ran away from home before he was eighteen years old and, affirming that he was twen ty-one years of age, he enlisted with Troop H, Second Cavalry, during 1898 and served with it during the continuance of the Spanish-American War. His whole enlistment was served in this country. He was dis charged shortly after the conclusion of the war. When the reorganization of the Pennsylvania National Guard took place after the conclusion of the Spanish-American War. Russell en listed in it. He had been a mem ber of Company D, of the old Eighth Regiment, from that time until It was reorganized at Camp Hancock. Oa„ last winter, when he was at tached to Company M, One Hundred and Ninth Infantry. The last letter that his parents re ceived from him was written on July 11. He wrote that he had, within the past several days, partaken of Holy Communion in the French trenches. Before the National Guard was mustered Into the United States serv ice, Russell served as a hostler In the Pennsylvania Railroad shops here. He has no close relatives except his parents. i SUGAR SURVEY SHOWS COUNTY HAS SUPPLY [Continued from First Page.] purchase certificates, the supply held by retailers is low. At the offices of the food administration to-day it • was said that reports by the whole salers here may be sent to other J counties that have less than Dau phin. The sugar survey to date shows i that the grocers have 142,729 pounds jof sugar in stock. The total quantity j bought and not received by the sro , cers is 24.St'i4 pounds. This sugar is |in transit. Besides, the grocers have purchase certificates for 60,984 pounds, covering their needs until October. County Has 228.'KM) Pounds The food administration points out that with these figures it is shown that Dauphin county really has 228,- i 577 pounds of sugar, counting the sugar in transit and the sugar pur chase certificates as sugar on hand. This amount, it is thought, will cover the needs of Dauphin county's con sumers under the new regulations of two pounds per month. The figures above are quoted from the survey cards turned in from 489 grocers. Others of the 582 grocers have an added amount on hand. Many grocers have already put in applications for sugar, since their I available supplies have run out. The | Dauphin county food administration j c ffices are flooded with applications I for sugar purchase certificates from grocers whose certificates have been cut off during this month. With tho inauguration yesterday of the plan to register the sale of every pound of sugar sold by local grocers, it is thought that the amount of sugar trn hand at the stores can be drawn out to supply the needs of the county, with but little additional | drain on tho wholesale supply. Boston Stunned by Worst Storm in Its History; Damage Great Boston, Mass.. Aug. 8. —The worst ' electrical storm that ever struck Boston terrorized the city and su burbs for live minutes, beginning at 7.24, last night. The end of the j world could hardly have caused a greater uproar or have given the city | a worse fright. The damage is ex | ceedingly heavy, but could not bo approximated at a late hour. From i all parts of Greater Boston came ! reports of injuries by the score, up ! rooting of trees, overturning of small ! automobilaa and miscellaneous de struction. Five churches are known to have 1 been struck—three in Boston, one in | Cambridge and one in Wakefield. At ' least four houses in the city proper were hit by bolts, and fires resulted. I The state armory in Cambridge was j also struck. Out of all this destruc tion no fatalities were reported up to j midnight, although one man was so j seriously injured that he probably ! will die. He is Matthew Tupper, of [ Quincy. Lightning struck a tree un j der which he was walking, breaking i both his !egs. An extraordinary phenomenon at tended the breaking of the storm. I The sun hung, a red ball, in the I West, the rest of the sky being I covered with black clouds. Several I jagged streaks of lightning seemed Ito pierce the sun just before the storm. ) What appeared to have been a cloudburst followed at once. In an | Instant the wind rose to a frightful velocity, and with it great hailstones clattered upon the city. In three minutes gutters were overflowing ■ and wide streams of water sweeping down the sidewalks. Awnings were ripped down and dashed along Tre mont street. One woman, caught in front of an automobile top that had been wrenched from a car, was car ried twenty yards before she fell and I was dragged to safety. Dealers Must Unload Cars in Three-Day Limit Unloading of cars of foodstuffs within the three-day limit by dealers is a ruling that the Food Administra tion is Insisting shall be obeyed, ac cording to advices from Washington received to-day by the Dauphin Coun ty Food Administrator. Failure to unload promptly will re sult In the receivers having their ship ment embargoed. Failure of many dealers through out the state to follow Instructions of the administration regarding the prompt unloading of ears will prob ably result In even more drastic regu lations being made to compel the release, of cars urgently needed. Prompt action by the dealers will alone prevent a more drastic ruling. harrisburg CMMft telegraph Three State Yankees Bury Fallen Comrades [Continued from First Page.] like a Roman gladiator over a huge Gorman whom he had beaten to Itis knees'. Said Lieutenant Otto Riszen thaler. of Barahoo, Wis. "When 1 reached Dexheimer it looked for a moment like the German was done for. He was begging for mercy and Dexheimer was cursing him out in his own language for following the kaiser. We have many hoys of Ger man ancestry in our ranks. They are splendid men. with one defect —they are apt to lose their tempers." I.tkc a Fighting Maniac 1-ieutenanf Edmund Czuskos, of Milwaukee, aftci Hill 230 was taken, leceived orders to dig in and hang on. .Instead, he took his machine guns further, going ahead, his com mander says, like a lighting maniac, cheering and overcoming all resist a rice. One sergeant from Neilsville, Wis., reached an enemy trench In which he counted seven German dead. Hang ing over the edge of the trench was the body of the lone American con queror, who proved to be the ser geant's kid brother from another company, also taking part in the at tack. Upon a highway north of Char treuve I came across three young sters busy under terrific shell tire buiying two fallen comrades. There was no chaplain around, so one of the trio. Sergeant Charles F. Evans, of Brookville, Pa., said a few words of the burial service. His comrades standing uncovered beside him were Privates Charles Marcavage, of Pottsville, Pa., and Frank Brown, of Brookville. They made an impressive, unforgettable picture. I observed that a number of mo tor cars burned and abandoned by Germans in their flight had torn tires, indicating that' the enemy is completely out of rubber. The tiame of burning ammunition dumps in the area the Germans are fleeing from is so bright that one can read newspapers at night inside our lines. Millions of dollars' worth of German supplies have been de stroyed by the retreating enemy. The whole horizon at night is a succes sfon of gigantic red patches with oc casional roars of .ouched-off am munition which they could not re move. Vunks Brave .Machine (iuns Machine guns, which have virtu ally supplanted rifles with the Ger mans, are undoubtedly the bane of our soldiers, yet the Americans throw themselves against this per nicious weapon with almost super human audacity. These "Kugelspitz," set up in rocky nests, clumps of bushes, clusters of trees or along ridges commanding fields of uncut grain, are handled by an experienced enemy, who keeps his presence of mind and offers the most desperate type of resistance before his oppo nents can come to hand-to-hand con flicts, where the superiority of our fresh, well-fed troops always mani fests itself. I tind countless authen ticated instanc.es where our boys have tossed aside all traditions of warfare by rushing the venomous machine guns without there having been any previous artillery preparation. Lieutenant Harry Yagle, of Dun dee, 111., while digging in with his men before reaching their final ob jective, was caught by the enflading tire of a machine gun in a sunken road 200 yards off. With Sergeant Frank Kotjune, 2103 South Spauld ing avenue, Chicago, and two of our brave allies, he charged the positions, capturing the gun and eight pris oners. Corporal Henry Zyburt and Pri vate Justin Swerebel, both of Illinois, each careened alone into machine gun nests and after disposing of the handlers obtained possession of the weapons. Corporal Albert Painesipp, of Bata via, 111., single-handed attacked a machine gun position upon a knoll. When the weapon was turned point blank upon him he tried to grab it, MESSAGE LISTS SERGT.

Here a number of German machine gun companies have dug in and are clinging desperately to the hill, des pite the lire of the heavy allied .runs. One of the American detachments which crossed the river to-day rein forced the Americans along the Rheims-Soissons highway who are endeavoring to drive the Germans from the knoll.

Never losing his nerve, he changed his tactics, hurling hand grenades among the crew, scattering the Germans and saving our advanc ing lines from heavy flanking casual ties. Capture* Gun and Crow Corporal John Desmidt, of 34091 Belmont avenue, Chicago, is another i immortal who, finding his platoon under a demoralizing tire, crept for ward through the grass alone, locat ed and seized the rasping machine gun and captured the surviving Ger mans. forcing them to carry it into our lines. Private Fred P. Wilins, of Casper, Wyo., unaided bombed an enemy ma chine gun crew who were harassing cur advance and captured the gun. Corporal Thomas A. Pope, of Illi nois. after the enemy had recaptured our advance post and his platoon was ordered to restore it, rushed the hostile machine gun alone and get ting astride it, fought the entire crew with the bayonet until help came. The tight ended with the gun in our possession and its operators either killed or captured. Sergeant Andrew J.- Erhardt, of Illinois, when his line was held up, earned unique distinction by crossing a shell-swept field to an armored tank acting in conjunction with our troops. He led the tank over to where an enemy machine gun was located and directed the tire of those inside the tank, which destroyed the interfering machine. Corporal Andrew Schabinger, of Chillicothe, 111., mopped up a town we had entered, leading his platoon into the second floors of houses from which enemy machine guns were firing. Corporal Raymond Powell, of Joliet, 111., gained distinction by leading a section, driving the enemy with machine guns a second time from one of our advanced posts. Private Harry Shelly, of 339 Men ard avenue, Chicago, showed con spicuous gallantry by capturing an enemy sniping position, taking eignt prisoners. There is a halo of praise around Private Christopher Keane. of 4612 West Monroe street, Chicago, who in an area ripsawed by machine gun fire after two of our stretcher bear ers were killed, forced German pris oners to take their places and assist in carrying in our wounded. Other Chicago boys who performed acts of special gallantry are Private William Linsky, of 310 West Huron street; Sergeant James Krum, 6504 Nordica avenue; Lieutenant Frank Schram, of 1454 Farragut avenue; Lieutenant Michael Kamofowski, of 293 3 West Forty-ninth street, and Lieutenant Albert G. Jefferson, 1011 Home avenue. Rivalry of Rates For the exceptional daring and fearlessness of the American troops in France the explanation is a stern, good-natured competition between the descendants of different races fighting side by side in our small units. Each progeny is determined to star over its rival in the ranks beside him. This matchingCof indi vidual fighting capacity is believed by our generals to produce a higher range of personal valor than the Ger man army system, which pits Bavar ians, Saxons, Prussians and others against each other in large groups, engendering bitter sectional hos tilities. Showing the gladitorial character of our system, two army stenograph ers, one of German, the other of Irish descent, at a certain headquarters got into a dispute who was personal ly the bravest. They set off alone on a dark night, passed our forward lines and entered the German trench bringing back a prisoner who was forced by the Irishman to help carry his slightly wounded comrade. The dispute is still unsettled, but each of the men has a profound respect for the other. state, according to the Public Ser vice Calmmission. As a. result of these accidents 206 people were killed and 492 injured. Of the total killed, 96 were occupants of automobiles and 41 of this number lost their lives at crossings which are protected in some manner or another. Twenty-nine occurants of wagons were killed and the number of fatal ities to' pedestrians was 81. Investigation shows that 97 per cent, of pedestrians killed and in jured at crossings with gates crawled under the gates. As compared with the. previous year there was an increase of 21 per cent, in the number of grade cross ing accidents and of 17 per cent, in the number killed and injured. In addition to the grade crossing accidents, there were 356 employes; 29 passengers and 517 trespassers killed on the steam railroads—an in crease of 27 per cent, as to employes and decreases of 22 per cent, as to passengers and 16 per cent, as to trespassers. £ Rubber smMnf II SEALS & STENCILS Ul W MFG.BYHBG.
