Lieut Payne Killed
in Action in France
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Payne, ; of
Front and Muench streets, have Just
been advised of the death in action
of thelr"nephew, Lieutenant Francis
W. Payne, of the Twenty-sixth In
fantry, in France.
I4eutenant Payne enlisted at his
home in Charleston, W. Va., going
to Europe last October.
Recently a newspaper of his home
town printed some interesting ex
tracts from letters received by the
young soldier's father, which
breathed a lofty patriotism and high
appreciation of the Ideals of the
American fighting man.
One of these letters referred to the
death of Harry Lauder's son with
this comment:
"Of course, none of us expect to
be killed, but a lot of us will be,
and while our parents and friends
will grieve we all hope they won't
take it so hard. I read a published
letter of a French soldier to his par
ents, and in it he asked them not to
pray that he might not be killed or
injured, but that he might bear the
hardships and suffering he must en
dure, and that he might light a good
fight while he was able to do so.
That seems the proper spirit, because
a lot must be killed and wounded,
and it might as well be one as an
other.
"From all I can hear, there doesn't
seem to be such a thing as fear
among any of the armies. Of course,
every one hates the life and will
be glad to have it end, but they don't
seem to fear the Boche at all. They
realize the Boche is a good fighter,
ljut we all consider ourselves a little

Lieutenant Payne was a son of
James Payne.
Poor Knobless, but
Copper Kings Reign
Washington —All the statues of the
Hohenzollern family which dot the
streets and parks of Berlin have, by
government decree, been preserved
against the fate of being melted up
Into war materials.
Official dispatches to-day coming
from Amsterdam say the melting of
statues throughout Germany is going
on with the commandeering of door
knobs, bronze hinges, copper roofs
and other metals having a war
utility, but that it has been "ver
boten" to take the statues of Fred
erick XI, at the entrance to Unter
Den Linden, the statue of William 1.,
opposite the Imperial Palace, or any
of those representing members of
the Hohenzollern family.
NINE TO PLEAD GUILTS'
Nine pleas of guilty will be heard
by Judge George Kunkel to-morrow
morning. Included in the list are
prisoners charged with larceny,
surety of the peace, burglary and
nonsupport. The list of pleas, as
announced by District Attorney
Michael E. Stroup, follows:
Carl N. Schomer, larceny; Lorenzo
Bryant, larceny; Silas Williams,
surety of the peace; Theodore Wil
liarris, alias Andersona nd Kid Flow
ers, burglary; Park D. Yost, non
support; Clifford Spencer, serious
charge; Grover Fowler, larceny, and
Charles Temple, larceny.
Hun Communiques Make
Nation's Officials Laugh
Washington—The official Germaqf
communiques which have attempted
to paint the "retrograde movement"
out of the Marne salient as a remark
able victory for the German arms
have caused no little merriment In
Washington, and, to an extent, they
have served as another disillusion
ment as to certain traits of the Ger
man military character.
Many of those in Washington had
believed that ever since the war
started the German official .. state
ments had cleaved more closely to
tTTe lides of truth than any put out
by other belligerents. There was an
excuse for this belief, for when the
Germans have taken the offensive
and have met ' with successes day
after day their communiques gener
ally have given the world the first
authentic information as to the bat
tle situation. Of course there has
been exaggeration as to the number
of prisoners and guns taken from
time to time, but, generally speaking,
the statement had proved worthy of
a large share of confidence.
A considerable part of this repu
tation for accuracy was gained
through the fact known to all soldiers
that the attacking army always can
keep closer touch with the situation j
than the defending force, and there
fore can give first news to the world.
Often the Allies have not been in a
position to announce the extent of
their own reverses because of the
disorganized communications during
the height of a German attack. The
same principle applies to the Ger
mans, of course, but in their retreat
they have gone beyond the lack of
accurate news by deliberately mis
representing known facts to their
people.

RAILROAD
ADJUSTMENT OF
WAGES PROMISED
Director-General McAdoo, in
A<ldress, Urges Railroad
Machinists to Stick
C. H. Markham, regional director of
the railroads in the Allegheny region,
to-day received by telegraph the text
of an appeal to the railroad shopmen
of the United States, made by Direc
tor General McAdoo In a brief ad
dress at HUlyard, Washington.
In his remarks the director general
promises the announcement of a de
cision on the 26th of the present
month regarding further adjustment
of the wages of railroad machinists
and shop workers, conceding that
Peculiar conditions affect the pay of
these classes of railroad employes.
Mr. McAdoo states it Is for that rea
son that he appointed the new Board
of Railway Wages and Working Con
ditions, whose report has now been
placed in his hands.
Pending final action on that report,
the director general asks every ma
chinist and shop man, as a loyal
American, to stick to his Job, back
"Uncle Sam" to the limit, and do his
Part in helping to "plant the Kaiser
face downward." He urges all the
men, when the decision la announced
to accept it "like true patriots, put
ting country above self or selfish in
terests like our brave soldiers are
doing in France."
By orders of the director general,
copies of his remarks will be wired
to all divisions of the railroads in
the Allegheny region for immediate
posting on shop and roundhouse bul
letin boards and for general distribu
tion to the employes in the mechani
cal crafts.
The following address was made
by W. G. McAdoo, director gen
eral of railroads, to the railroad shop
W ?. r ' ters Hillyard, Washington:
"Ladles and Gentlemen, Fellow
Railroad Workers: I wish I could
make a speech to you, but I over
strained my voice In three Liberty
Loan campaigns and the doctors have
forbidden me to make any speeches
for a short time,—but I do want to
tell you that I am glad to see you
and be associated with you in doing
a very great work for our country.
Have Big Part in War
"To us railroad men has been as
signed one of the biggest parts In
this war. It depends upon us whether
or not the Kaiser will be licked ten
times as quickly as he otherwise will
be. I know that we are going to lick
him ten times as quickly, because the
railroad men of the United States are
going to do their duty to 'Uncle
Sam.' You are in 'Uncle Sam's' ser
vice now, no private interests con
trol the railroads anymore. 'Uncle
Sam' is in command, he has his hand
on the throttle, he Is running these
railroads, and are you going to help
him make a success of It? I want to
give you all just as fair treatment
as I know how, but we are all ser
vants of the American people, you
and I alike, and it depends upon the
way in which we discharge our re
sponsibilities whether or not the
American people are going to treat
us right
"The strength of our position must
always rest upon public opinion.
What I would do from time to time
must be done with reference to what
Is Just, not alone to you, but to do
the public, which must pay the bill.
I want to give you a square deal
and the public wants to give you a
square deal, but the public wants
you to give it a square deal as well.
Will Be Fair to Public
"When your wages are raised, how
do we get the money to pay for it?
We have to put up the rates on all
the American people, and if we dp
not treat them fairly, 'they will re
fuse to sustain me in trying to help
you. I want you to do the square
thing for th American people, as 1
am trying to do the square thing for
you, that is fair all around, Isn't it?
"I know the machinists and shop
men think they were not treated
fairly in the original wage commis
sion's report. There are peculiar
conditions effecting the machinists
and shop men of the country, and
because I recognized that, I appointed
a new commission, the Board of Rail
way Wages and Working Conditions.
They made a report to me. I am
working on that report and will
render a decision on the 25th of this
month. When that decision Is made,
I want you to know that I have con
scientiously done the best I could for
you, having Just regard for your in
terests and the interests of the pub
lic. I want you all to accept that de
cision like true patriots, putting
country above self or aelflsh Interests
like our brave soldiers are doing.
We owe that much to our splendid
sons, who are shedding their blood
to make our jobs and our home* safe
and to have human liberty through
out the world. If we do our duty
as well as our boys are doing theirs
in France, we will be sure to plant
the Kaiser face downwards and keep
him there. Let every railroad man
hold on to his job and back 'Uncle
Sam' to the limit."

LESS TRUNKS IS
NEW R.R. ORDERS
War Industries Board Asks
Drummers to Aid in Relief
For Baggagemen
Baggagemen will get some relief.
Orders have been issued from the
War Industries Board to cut down
the number of sample trunks. Tight
packing is also urged.
Notices have been snt to local
haggage officials and to retailers urg
ing co-operation in reducing the
number of sample trunks. Retailers
are asked to place merchandise
when shown by economical sampling
devices and also by accepting mer
chandise packed with a view to sav
ing space.
Recently the board suggested plans
along both these lines, but while the
savings made have been noteworthy,
It is apparent that a more general
reduction can be effected.
One ot the many items in which
it appears that space savings Is pos
sible is in the shipment of waists. It
has been suggested that jt is prac
tical to pack two or more of the bet
ter grades of waists to a box instead
of one, as at present. In the lower
priced varieties, where they are
packed six to a box, the number
could be increased to twelve.
In urging the placing of orders
for merchandise shown by econom
ical sampling devices, the war indus
tries board states that the successful
use of photographs, lithographs and
catalogs is reported by many, with
the consequent reduction in the
number of sample trunks.
All articles sold in pairs such as
garters, hosiery and gloves, should
be sampled one-half pair for each
model, using swatches of fabrics and
colors in connection with photo
graphs where necessary for each
style.
Government Asks For Aid
in Collection of Old Iron
Under advices of the government,
Central Pennsylvania is being
scoured for scrapiron. Railroads are
co-operating in the search for old
iron, and will aid in the movement
by having cars on hand for prompt
shipment.
Never before have the villages,
gmithies, farms, in fact every con
ceivable place where cast-away scrap
could be found, been combed by
those who make a business of gath
ering scrap as they are at present.
Thousands of carloads ut scrap
have been handled by the Reading
during the past month. It is consign
ed to the big steel mills at Bethle
hem, Lebanon, Reading, Coatesville,
Pencoyd, Nicetown and other places.
The Bethlehem Steel Company
uses up very large quantities of
scrap. The Reading Iron Company
is also a big consumer. The mills
at Blandon, those at Pottstown and
the Phoenix Iron Company receive
any amount of it There are few
freight trains handled daily that do
not Include a few cars consigned to
some plant.
