8 HOLLAND ALLOWS HUNS TO ESCAPE VIA LIMBURG -1' Allied Governments to Send Note of Protest to Dutch Government Raris, Nov. 21. —The Allied gov ernments have decided to send an official protest to the Dutch govern ment against the violation of Hol land's neutrality as a result of her permitting German troops to cross the province of Limburg in their re treat from Belgium, according to, the Echo de Paris. Amsterdam. Nov. 21. —A continu ous procession of Gorman troops is passing through Limburg, homeward bound, according to the Handelsb'ad. At least 150.000 will cross the bor der near Roosteren. where they will be disarmed by the Dutch. Good: order is prevailing by direction of the officers. ' Limburg is a long, irregular prov. | ince of Holland, nearly 105 miles In! length. For twenty-fight miles from 1 its lower extremity it lies between , •the provinces of Limburg. Belgium i and Rhine province, Germany. At the widest point in this region it is • nineteen miles between Belgian and German soil. Just north of Sittard, Limburg province narrows down to i less than five miles. It was reported from Paris on No vember 19' that German troops re-j turning to Germany from Belgium had to cross the Dutch province of : Limburg, and the charge was made that the passage was made with the sanction of the Dutch authorities. y&P Soothe Your Itching Skin Cuticura •V. ■ . • Good News from Washington Part of "BULL" DURHAM Tobacco Released to Civilians at Home to "Roll Their Own" % % * • jt —With the little muslin sack of "BULL" DURHAM in the pockets of every one of our fighting men on land and sea — With good old "Bull" in the regular Army rations '—And with the future demands of the War Department abundantly cared for, part of "BULL" DURHAM Tobacco is offered again to the men at home who "roll their own". And to these men we want to say, that in giving up so freely all your "Bull," when your Country asked for it for its fighting men, you did a human "bit." However small that little muslin sack may seem, you may have the satisfaction of knowing that your sack of "Bull" was meat and drink to some boy waiting or fighting at the front, and that your supply of "Bull" helped to make the distribution to our forces full and complete, and make it. quickly. Now that Washington assures us that such distribution is a fact, you will welcome the "Makings" home again. And with greater satisfaction and more pleasure than ever, you will, we know, with your own hands, roll a cigarette again for yourself a cigarette machines can't, imitate —the mildest , the most fra grant, the most economical cigarette in the world. L Are we wrong in thinking that you will be as proud as we are of your little muslin sack of "Bull"? tNCOPPO BATED NEW VORK •" u ; \T(: ?<' 1 ' - y , " . • ';■••■ *-. ~fp* w r ? r > THURSDAY EVENING HARRISBURG (MM* TELEGRAPH ' NOVEMBER 21, 1918.

BRITISH UNABLE TO TRACE 2,222 TAKEN BY TURKS Ottoman Captors Show Cruel ty at Its Peak in'Kut El Amara London, Nov. 21.—A "White paper" on the treatment of British prisoners in Turkey issued yester day, says that of 16,583 prisoners taken by the Shirks, 3,390 are re-? ported to be dead, while no trace can be found of 2,222. all captured at Kut El Amara, so it is certain they passed living into Turkish hands, but no word has been heard from them. The Kut prisoners were forced to march across the desert to Asia Minor without food or medical at tention. As a result, the white paper says, "parties of men were i lying exhausted under any shelter j they could find in all stages of 1 dysentary and starvation, some dy -1 ing, some dead, half . clothed and ! without boots, having sold every thing to buy a little milk." The survivors were forced to work at tunneling on the Bagdad ra'J way. Where no use eould be maJa of them they were sent to camps in the interior, being forced to march across the Taurus mountains. An Austrian officer, describing the | march, said: "It was a scene from Dante's In | ferno."

S. • ARMY PLANE PROVIDES PLENTY OF NEW THRILLS Flying Upside Down Is Interesting to £adet Sergeant H. A. Houtz, Who \Vas Central High School Football Star How it feels to go up in a nftlltary airplane for the first ttme. is graphi-. rally told by Cadet Sergeant H. A. Houtz, son of Adam H. Houtz, In a letter home to his mother. Cadet Houtz formerly was a member of the Centrnl High School football team and played end on the Getiysburg varsity. He is stationed at a training field In Princeton. His brother, Lieu tenant Robert L. Houtz, a graduate of the first officers' class at Port Niagara, this week received orders to go to France. Cadet Houtz's letter follows:. "Dear Mother: "I must toll you all about my trip to Mlneola Flying Field, Long Island. ' "We started from Princeton at 8.15 this morning with packed lunches and lots of pep; for being Prince ton's graduating class, we were at last to be given a flight In a real, honest-to-goodness airplane. So many times during our ground school course did we align fusillages and test engines of dummy airplanes, that this trip, seemed at last, to be our dream realized. "•We arrived at Hazelhurst Field at 12.10 and having fifty-two cadets and eight officers In our party, we just filled two-big trucks and started on our way to Mitchell Field. On arriving there, everything was found in readiness and waiting for us. There' were forty planes lined up along one front. Some had engines roaring, others were silent. So, na> turally the trucks were deserted and a mad rush for the aiplanes pro ceeded. Some eager cadets had plant ed themselves already in the seats, but were sdon withdrawn, and all were made stand back of a line of boxes. "Captain Braig (in charge of tire trip) stated clearly that everyone would be taken up; byt that patience was essential. "Then I spoke up I said; 'Look! captain, I have my goggles on al ready.' Then he turned and winked to the flying commander and said ot me, 'Alright Houtz, take that first De Havllland there.' "I did, and after saluting its pilot. Captain Bibb, I introduced mysulf and hopped in. While I was strap ping myself In the front seat the crowd' was yelling, 'Good-by, Adam, what kind of flowers do you like?' etc. We were then facing the crowd, the mechanics soon turned us around and off we went. The First Thrill "We taxied over thq ground to what seamed about 220 yards. I could feel the old undercarriage . bumping the sod, then finally that ' ; bumping ceaser, we took the ulr; we • i were floating. Then my first scare " | or thrill. We didn't rise fast enough, i it seemed as though we would have '| to land again. Then all of. a sud . den up went the nose and we shot . ! gradually up to 800 fpet. My eyes | were on the earth, which was slip • i ping away beneath us. I was watch | ing an auto speeding along u road . j in the same direction we were go ing, and how we were beating him, ! when along came thrill number two. I j Captain Bibb made a vertical bank • j (wings straight up and down) Wow! j What a feeling. Upside Down, ) "Next I realized, as I had studied, j centrifugal force actually holds you > in, so 1 let go my death grip on 1' the plane. Then thrill number - three, (and so soon after number -jtwo) an "Immelnian turn" (in which , you loop over to the side and go 1 back exactly the same direction f from which you come) when I looked up and expected to .see sky, I s saw the earth, (we were upside down 3 for a second) I remembered Cap -3 tain Brtpg's wink. It was certainly materializing. ; (< "Great" "It took us several minutes to cir cle up to 3,200 feet. Then thrill number four, a wide spiral, in which we clumsily nosed down to 1,500 feet One more circle of the field and at last (or so soon) we were about to land, when ulong came thrill num ber five. "We dipped towards earth, shrp and fast; to continue in that direction would mean a 'Curtains' and a crash into the hangars. Many thoughts flooded my brain. 'Did he lose control?' 'Has something sud denly broken?' We were then only 100 feet from the ground, when up over the hangars we shot and land ed safely on the other side. Oh! what a relief, when I felt the old under carriage once more bumping the sod and slowing up. We turned and taxied right up to the crowd, who shot all kinds of questions as 'How does it feel?' etc. All I could say was 'Great.' Your loving son, ' "HAROLD." Reserves Will Keep on Drilling!
