WIF E-SEEKER IS
NOT DISCOURAGED
His Letter of August Lasi
Identical With One 11c
Wrote 13 Years Ago
Mechanlcsburg, Oct. 2.—Much in
terest and amusement is being dis
played by some people of Mcchan
ipsburg in regard to the letter pub
lished in the Telegraph on August
26 from one Samuel Koontz, who
writes for a wife, when it develops
that his persistency is almost un
paralleled and that discouragement
is not in his dictionary, for it is
known that thirteen years ago he
wrote a letter almost identical to
another woman in this place. Even
at that date, he wanted a wife of
35 years, and probably has been
sending out his love missives during
all the intervening years. But the
messages evidently failed to lodge Jn
a tender heart.
His letter of the year 1905 follows:
"I will take the present oppor
tunity to write you a few lines to
ask you if I would bo welcome to
come to see you, and if I can't have
you, if you know of some Miss—one
af the name of Kauffman or Witmer,
or Bucher, or Null, or Brieker, or
Snyder, or Fry, or Hoover, or
Uhrich. or Eberly, or Nissley. or
Snavoly, or Coover,/ or Myers,
rr Bowers, or Swarlz, or Hoff
man. or Miller, or Liglitner, or
Qari'et, or Bear, or Grove; or if
you know of some widow woman un
ler 35 years of age, please give one
my address and tell one to write me
i letter and 1 will give information
rnd come, to see her. I will bring
this letter to a close. Yours respect
fully. Write soon. Address, Samuel
Koontz, Culbertson, Franklin Co.,
Pa."
Fearing his good intentions to
ivard her might be misunderstood,
ic adds the following postscript:
"I want you, and if X can't have
you, get me one!" S. K.

the shortage was serious, the ques

Withdraw Guns From Belgian Coast
In Flanders the Germans are reported to have set tire to the
railway junctions of Roplers and Menin and to be removing their
big gufis from the Belgian coast around the submarine base of
Ostend, which is being outflanked on the south,' The Belgians
now arc five miles from Thourout, while the British are across
the Lys seven miles north of Lille and arc within seven miles of
Courtrai. All these are important railway centers and Lille is the
strongest German position north of Cambrai.
General Berthelot speedily is driving the Germans back to
their old lines in the Rheims region. Further gains were made
j between the Yesle and the Aisne and North of Rheims. Several
j miles more and the French will be in the open country north oi
| Rheims and threatening th eimmdiatc communications of Laon
j The French advance here and ast of the Suippe is placing the
Germans between Rheims an dth Suippe in a pocket.
In Champagne there has been little change, but the French
have rendered useless the railroad running through the Argonne
forest from Chal'lerangc. This makes possible a further Americar
movement on the, eastern edge of the Argonne. North and wesl
of Montfaucon, in the center of the American sector west of the
Mcuse, the Amricans agains have moved forward.
U-Boat Bases Menaced
Far to the north the Belgians are advancing apparently
toward Lille, and at the same time threaten the German "subma
rine bases on the Belgian coast. If Lille is outflanked, the Ger
mans must retire from their trenches far to the south of that
; city. Continued progress will cut the submarine bases off from
| rail communications.
General Berthelot is cutting rapidly info the German lines
I north and northwest of Rheims. His success there seems to carry
peril to the Germans farther cast, for an advance toward the
Aisne to the northward of Rheims would compel a retirement
as far east as the sector where General Gouraud is smashing
the German lines.
Chajlerange has been taken and the French have reached
Monthois. The French apparently are moving toward Vouziers,
an important railroad point, communicating with long stretches
of the front in the Champagne.
Yankees Probably Held Back
American forces between the Argonne forest and the Meuse
river apparently are held up by the Germans. The advance of the
French farther west however, soon will force the Germans to
retreat.
Turkey is said to have put out "peace feelers" and it is ex
pected that she soon will follow the example of Bulgaria.
Austria-Hungary too seems to be on the eve of taking a signi
ficant step.
Enemy's Line of Defense Between Cambrai
and St. Quentin Broken by British
London, .Oct. 2. —1.30 P. M.—Between Cambrai and St. Quentin the
German line of defense has been broken. It is uncertain what lines the
enemy has in the rear. The British "advance threatens the German line
of retreat in the Oise valley and also from the massif of St. Gobain.
Between the Aisne and the Vesle rivers French troops in the last
three days have advanced on a front of ten miles to a depth of three to
four miles. The Germans now are retreating toward the line they held
in 1917. -
In view of the loss to the Germans of St. Quentin and the lines to
the north of that city an enemy retirement on a fairly large scale seems
probable. Given fairly good weather some very big changes on the western
front may be seen before winter. ,
Serbia Being Evacuated by Bulgars;
Allies Go Forward on Every Front
London, Oct. 2.—Serbia is being evacuated by the Bulgarian troops
who are returning to Bulgarian territory, according to the Serbian official
statement of Tuesday night.
Paris, Qct. 2.—The armies of General Gouraud and Bertolet on the
fronts east and west of Rheims continued to advance to-day against the
Germans who appeared to be falling back more hurriedly than at any time
since September 26.
Paris. Tuesday, Oct. I. (Havas) —Menin and Roulers, railway junc
tions in Flanders, have been set on fire by the Germans in the face of
advancing Belgian, British and French troops. French guns now control
the railway line running from Ostend, through Thourout and Roulers to
Courtrai. British monitors are co-operating actively in bombarding the
German lines on and near the coast
Paris Oct 2 I'P. M. —General Bertholet's army to-day is making
rood progress between the Vesle river and the Aisne canal. The French
troops have captured live or six villages and their advance at some points
has'.'reached a depth of five to six kilometers.
With tlio British Armies ill Flanders, Oct. 2. —Field Marshal ITaig's
force sto-day captured Rolleghemcapelle and advanced three thousand
yards southeast of Roulers.
Everybody's Health Bad
With New Hampshire Dry
Manchester, N. 11., Oct. 2.— Cer- j
tain physicians in this city had an i
unpleasant interview with Chief of
Police Michael J. Healy, yesterday,
relating to the liquor prescription
law. The statute was read to them,
'and they were told if. after this
warning, they persisted in issuing
! prescriptions on the city liquor
agency indiscriminately, something
would drop. Since the agency was ,
opened it has been doing a surpris- I
ing business. 1
Chief Healy investigated the con- :
ditions, and he found,' it is declared, j
a number of doctors were cleaning j
up big money by giving out pre- j
scriptions to any applicant without
diagnosing the "disease" in the case. |
as required by the law.
Sixteen-year-old boys have had no
trouble in getting served in this
way. One declared the doctor mere
ly asked him if he was sick.
