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.

COUNTY HAS SUPPLY

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.

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

machine gun position upon a knoll.
When the weapon was turned point
blank upon him he tried to grab it,

but succeeded only in upsetting the
gun. 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.

For further information regardin* these notes, reference is made to a letter from Mr. James D. Callery. President
of the Company, copies of which may be had on request, and which states that:
The Duquesne Light Company owns in fee or controls through long-term lease or stock owner
ship, and in large part directly operates, properties conducting the entire central station electric
light and power business in the city of Pittsburgh and throughout the major portions of Al
legheny and Beaver Counties, Pennsylvania.
The properties operated by the Duquesne Light Company and its subsidiaries form a single in
ter-connecting system which serves a total population estimated to exceed 1,100,000, located in
the heart of the Pittsburgh District.
These $10,000,000 Three-Year 6% Secured Gold Notes, in addition to being the direct
obligations of the Duquesne Light Company, will be secured by the pledge of all of an outstand
ing issue of $15,000,000 face value of its 5% Mortgage Gold Bonds. The bonds so pledged
will be secured, in the opinion of counsel, by a first mortgage on all the property owned in fee
by the Duquesne Light Company and by a first lien upon its leasehold interests and on certain
bonds and virtually all the stocks of its subsidiaries.
The property owned in fee, upon which the Notes will be thus secured by a first collateral lien,
will include one of the largest and most important electric power plants in the country (Brunot
Island, 120,000 K. W.) and extensive transmission and distribution lines, and will represent
an investment very largely in excess of these $10,000,000 6%- Secured Notes.
The Notes will be followed by the $5,941,000 !%■ preferred stock and by $18,226,000 7%
dividend-paying common stock of the Duquesne Light Company.

tlce" in many big vaudeville house*
in the east, at least that is the claim
made by the act's advertising agent,
and after seeing the youngsters it
seems very probable. The kiddies
nave a lot of "pep" and enough real
talent to make the park audiences
forget the heat and break forth into
vigorous rounds of applause every
now and then, and that's going some,
with the thermometer hitting the 100
mark.
The balance of the park show is
well up to the standard expected in
high-class vaudeville theaters.
A new bill of vaudeville opened a
three days' engagement at the Ma
jestic Theater to-day. Tak-
At the ing the lead among the ad-
MnJeMlc vertised attractions, are the
Petticoat Minstrels, an ag
gregation of females who have adopt
ed the old-style minstrel semicircle,
and with songs and quips make u
merry half hour in the vaudeville bill.
