tion, Nov. 20.—The American
troops shoved their line across
the German frontier to-day.
The frontier was crossed at
points opposite Briey and;
Audun-le-Roman and at points
between these two places.
Further north the Duchy of
Luxemburg was entered in the
direction of the city of Luxcm

of a few laggard units, the lust of I

that the stragglers had engaged in

Appeals were received from the
inhabitants that the advancing Araer
loa'ns hasten to their relief. Investi
gtion proved, however, that the vil
lagers were more excited than in
jured. anj.L that most of the damage
being done by the little groups of
Germans was to the Germans' own j
stores of food and clothing.
Other appeals were found to have j
more foundation. Those from the (
mayors of Halanzy and other neigh- i
boring towns reported the presence!
of wounded and sick in greater num- j
hers than the local physicians could-;
attend, and to those points medical |
officers and supplies were sent, after j
notification to the Germans of the.
Americans' plan.
When the Germans evacuated,these ;
towns they took with them not only
the medical and nursing staffs, but
also the hospital supplies, abandon

mercies of the townspeople and the i
army of occupation. ,

"HEX" DOCTOR
CONVICTED OF
SERIOUS CHARGE
Had Children Brought to Hist
Home at Night to Re- j
move Enchantments
SAW MANY WITCHES!
Worked on Farmer's Credul-,
ity by Muttering Weird
Incantations
ChiiiiilMTaliiiriE. F'a.. Nov. 20.—John ]
H. Keckler, of Waynesboro, was con
victed of a serious charge In criminal
court this morning. "Hex-doctoring,"j
witches, incantations nntl various I
ghostly matters were mingled in the]
trial, the weirdest coming before the ,
county courts in recent years.
Witnesses alleged that Keckler,
came to the home of Harry Krincr. of;
Lemasters, pointing out to him that!
his farm was enchanted by witches.
Posing as a "hex-doctor," It is charged !
Keckler made incantations and later
had Ada and Grace, Krlner's two,
daughters, brought to his home at]
night at the time of the now moon or;
thereabouts. He stated he '.vas re- i
moving a spell from them.
Finds Witches nt Work
The first witness called in the case \
was \V. If. Krlner. He stated in liis|
testimony that in 1915 Hush Heckman
brought the "hex-doctor" to the home
of Harry Kriner where the so-called i
"witch chaser" said the witches were
working on the premises.' He laid
seals on the, farm, the witness said. I
The "seals," it appears, were small ,
pieces of muslin sewed in bags. Keck- |
ler explained that someone had been [
"working" on the premises for past J
thirty years. It was declared that a I
lengthy i onference was held on the;
subject of witches. A hog on the Kri- j
tur place was ill and it was alleged;
witches had caused this sickness.'
Keckler made efforts to cure the hog,
it was stated.
Keekler was staying at the fleck-!
man house about this tirfie. it was I
testified. According to testimony, the
Heckmans asked that the two daugh
ters of Kriner be brought to their
house to be cured by Keckler. They
were to be brought into Keckler's
room at night and "to touch the hem
of his garment."
Mrs. Rebecca Kriner. wife cf W'. H. j
Kriner, corroborated the testimony of j
her husband with reference to the i
girls. She also said they were at
lleckman's place between six to
twelve times front .fitly. 1915. to No
vember. 1916, and in Slay, 1917. On |
one occasion she saw the "physician"
draw a circle around the witness an 1 j
her daughter and muttered some in-1
cantations.
Grace Kriner was 17 years old on j
April 19, 1917. Ada was born Janu
ary 10. 1907. Miss Grace was mar
ried August 2. 1917. She stated in;
her testimony that she and her sister!
visited the Heckman home a half]
dozen times in 1915 and 1916 while
Keckler was there, spending the night
with him.
Governor Urges Landing

Governor Brumbaugh lias written !
to Secretary of War Baker and Gen- j
eral P. C. March, chief of staff, urg- j
ing that the Pennsylvania troops be I

in his letter that it is the "unanl-.
mous wish" that the Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, where "a most fitting

After expressing this desire the i
Governor says that if It can be done
it will give "renewed assurance of

Cupid Plays Queer Prank
by Twisting Relationships
Dan Cupid is a frolicsome chap at
best und his pranks are marvelous to
behold. For instance, here's what he
did to Robert M. Sturgeon, city edi
tor of York Gazette and Daily and
forrrver Harrisburg newspaperman,
and Mrs. Emaline Strausbaugh, West
York: He made Mr. Sturgeon the
stepfather of his son-in-law and Mrs.
Sturgeon the stepmother of her
daughter-in-law. The children also
take an additional relationship to
their elders.
Sturgeon was married to Mrs. I
Strausbaugh at .Lancaster. Jonas
Strausbaugh, a son of the bride, is
married to the groom's daughter.
Elizabeth. Thus cometh the tangle'
of relationships.

GERMANS SURGING
TOWARD WEDLOCK
By Associated Press
New York, Nov. 20. —Martial
order has been supplanted by
marital zeal In Germany. This Is
evidenced by the advertising col
umns of German newspapers re- j
oeived here. Matrimonial "ads" ij
' cover whole pages and are Insert- ||
! ed by people of all ages and walks I'
| of life. i j
A peculiar feature of these nd
! vertisements is that many make!
! appeals for husbands or wives for
j relatives. Parents, brothers, sts
i ters and even friends of those who
! seek mates invite correspondence
| front those matrimonially in- I
j clined. War invalids, wealthy .
physicians, manufacturers and j
( rich widows are among those who
: resort to publicity.
One advertiser says he is !
| a widower who has property ,
j amounting to several millions of j
j marks. He admits he is 58 years i
i old. but says lie, "looks younger." |

income of 100,000 marks "seeks to j

Annual Collection
The annual Thanksgiving donation]
for the Harrisburg Hospital will be!
next Tuesday and Wednesday. No- j
vember 26 and 27.
It is considered likely that the hos
pital's annua! appeal will meet with
a ready response, as it comes im
mediately after the Institution play- ]
ed a splendid part in a great muni- I
cipal crisis, the influenza epidemic.'
The work of the hospital has come l
into the public eye with considerable !
prominence through its activities
during the recent scourge, and don
ations are expected to be made with
a lavish hand In many quarters.
During the epidemic, it was largely
through the efforts of the hospital
that an emergency hospital was es
tablished. lis physicians and nurses
worked constantly to combat the dis
ease. and several of Its staff met death
in the performance of their duty dur
ing that critical period.
Because of these extraordinary de
mands upon the resources of the hos
pital, the need of free handed con
j tributlons this year is larger than
I before, it is pointed out.
Every resident of the city is being
i urged to direct itis grocer to deliver
>an order of capned goods or other
