YANKEES BATTER
S VERDUN BARRIER
OUT OF ADVANCE
American Engineers Destroy
Obstructing Pillars; Lay
Hails in France •
With the Army of Occupation,
Nov. 25.—American forces havo
completed tho task of demolishing
tho barriers which guarded the old
Gcrmun front east of Verdun. The
lust barrier thus encountered con
sisted of reinforced concrete pillars
stretching along tho old front for a
distance of two miles. Tho pillars
were three feet apart at the roads
and fifty feet apart across the coun
try. They were connected by two-
Inch cables. When tho Americans
crossed the front lines last Satur
day the advanced guards were halted
only a few minutes by the barriers.
Engineers quickly placed a few
blasts of dynamite under each pil
lar. which made the roads passable.
Since then gangs working in relays
have toiled constantly to dig up Im
mense steel rails and concrete foun
dations which were six feet under
ground, the rails extending five feet
■ above the ground, the concrete being
poured around them. .
Dynamite Shatters Obstacle
Each pillar was live feet square
and stood eight feet above the
ground. The pillars apparently were
erected a yeur or more ago. as each
was camouflaged by reeds growing in
nearby swamps, the concrete scarcely
being noticeable fiom a distance. At
Mars La Tour, just at the edge of
the village, the Americans encoun
tered tank barriers, some of which
were only half completed. A few
blasts of dynamite soon put them
out of commission. At Etain the
Germans had barriers of logs chained
together on four wheels, the logs
holng movable like a gate. On these
barriers the Germans had installed
ingenious devices to remove the
wheels from beneath the logs, which
would then drop across the road at
the main road entrance into Etain.
This log barrier was Just at the west
ern entrance, the logs acting as a
check in the event that the mines'
failed to destroy the bridge.
American engineers yesterday laid
the last rail connecting the standard j
• gauge railroad between Verdun and j
Metz, having virtually rebuilt nine;
miles of the track. It is over this |
line principally that the forces of |
occupation will he supplied during i
their advance, and regular service j
will b'gitt probably to-morrow. j
Yankees Hcbuild Railroads
More* than 10,000 A-inerionns are
employed on the task of rebuilding j
the railroads across No Man's Land ]
northeast of Verdun, the Twenty
third Engineers Regiment having *
charge of the work. Mile after mile |
of trackage has be* n destroyed by J
four years' constant shelling, necessi- ]
taring a new roadbed.
The American forces resting Sun- j
day along the German frontier spent;
their spare lime at various points,
watching the Germans opposite •
them. In numerous instances the
Germans waved farewell when their
detachments started on their home
ward march.
Reports of rioting continue to
reach American headquarters from
tarjotis sources. One report was to
the effect that a German colonel had 1
been dragged from his horse by sol- :
•Hers and beaten severely. Before j
crossing from Luxemburg, many of j
the privates told the Luxcmburgers]
that when they reached Germany j
they would do as they pleased, and!
if taken to task by their officers, 1
trouble would result.
On Saturday the Americans ob
served individual soldiers carrying
red flags, but these men did not at
temift to cross to the American side, j
nor were they apparently, in any j
hurry to withdraw tiom the frontier, i
The Seventh Cotps, under com-]
mand of Major General Ilaan, has j
been attached to the army of occu-;
pution. It is composed of the Fifth.;
Eighty-ninth and Ninetieth divisions.
The work of the Seventh Army Corpsl
will consist chiefly of handling thei
back-area communications..
The German frontier was crossed l
at several places by American Sig- j
iml Corps units and ambulance work-.
ers. Short trips were made into j
Rhenish Prussia, where the inliab- •
Itants are reported to have shown |
the Americans every consideration.,
The front lines of the American j
army of occupation last night rested |
along the German-Luxemburg bor- ]
der on the Salter river and thence I
along the Moselle river to the region
east of Rentich. The American aruiv
will mark time until further orders.!
At least three or four days are ex-;
ptoted to pass before the next move
is made toward the German border.!
The Germans apparently are with
drawing according to schedule. Re
ports reaching the Third army to-day
were that the Germans everywhere
were whistling and singing us ihey
marched. The genetal line of tlie
German withdrawal is along the
Perl-Saarburg road. The southern I
limit of the Fifth •German army is J
reported to be the line Sierck-1
Thionville.
Several instances are reported i
where Americans encountered Ger- ]
ntans along the roadways, and each j
time the Germans showed the Arner-1
leuns eveyr courtesy. While an ]
American officer in an automobile
was riding along tho Remieh-Treves j
road east of the Mooc-lle, he encoun- ]
tercd German troops marching!
northward. A column of German In- j
fantry and some German trucks |
withdrew to the siue of the road :
in order to cleafothe way for the]
Americans, owing to tjie shortage of
horses the Germans are using joxen ;
to haul tlio4r supplies and some ar-!
tillery.

Democrats Uphold
G. 0. P. Peace Plan
Washington, Nov. 25. A consider
able number of Democrats in both
Houses are prepared to support the
Republican plans fur drafting and
preparing reconstruction measures.
Th Republican program calls for the
.resumption by Congress only of its
constitutional functions surrendered
to the executive brunch of the Gov
ernment for the necessary concentra
tion of authority in directing the war.
These Democrats have made it plain
that they feel and will stand with the
Republicans in their determined effort
to return to Congress its proper
peace-time functions and powers. Re
publican leaders have received this in
formation privately, It was learned.
On the strength of. these assur
ances as soon as Congress reconvenes
and the legislative situation permits,
a drive to put thrutigh tho Republi
can plan for Congressional recon
struction committees responsible to
Cungress will be Inaugurated.

dred's of spectators who braved the

cancelled Steelton High School bat
ic with Gettysburg High and the
management went, to considerable ex
pense to have the Held ready.

"You'll Like It," at. •
the Orpheum Tomorrow
If you ever worried übout our boys
In camp. It will only bo necessary for
you to see the Camp Dlx musical
show, "You'll Like It, ' tu put. an end
to your worries. In this snuppy musi
cal presentation, which is coming to
the Orpheum to-morrow night, the
boyji from Camp Dlx, who have writ- j
ten and produced this show of their
own experiences, proves that life in
camp is Just one luugh after another.
At times the laugh may bo on you,
but the luugii is there.
"You'll Dike It" is Just a big hunch
of laughs, and that is why "You'll
Like It." You'll laugh in the It rat
act at tlie predicament of the rookie
who hates to get up in the morning
und at the colonel, whose "job" the
j rookie wouldn't have, and in staling
Ills reason sings, "Would You Rather
Be a Colonel With an Kugle on Your
| Shoulder or a Private With a Chicken
jOn Your Knee?" After a month of
army beans, a chicken is very popu
lar.
| The Camp Dlx boys pay a. great
| tribute to the Y. M. C. A. in their
second act, for it is in tlie Hostess
| house of the Y. M. C. A. that the scene
I is laid, and it is full of good things,
i For here the professional talent In
| the show is able to present the act
l which previously they had used in
' vaudeville mid eonile opera. And In
the Hostessbouse there arc always
I charming girls—and the boys do their
1 best in the show to suply this neces
sary element.
! The coming lure of the hoys front
j Dix is going to be a great event, and
! we should give these soldier actors
( our hearty support all the more,
knowing that the money they raise
\ will go to their entertainment fund,
j which will help cheer up their winter
in camp.

twentieth, century hlgli
jAt the geared, Romantic comedy-

ei al new stunts that he created es J
pecially for his new picture, which

One stunt, worthy of mention, is
a dive that Mr. Fairbanks makes from
the top of a high sand dune to the
shoulders of Fred Burns, who is pass
ing by on a speeding horse. This
is followed by an exciting hand-to
hand tight on the desert sands, which
