Werner, who is due to arrive home

he arrived from France a couple

weapon with its story to his brotlier

Werner makes his home at 2502
Agate street, and a groat number of
Harrlsburgers saw the villainous
spear yesterday and heard the vivid

Twelfth Infantry, and fought at the
Maine In the Twenty-eighth divi
sion. At a certain moment in the
fray lie noticed four Huns carrying
oft a Yank major, who is a Johns
town man. Without hos'tation, Wer
ner gave chase and when tho th'ee
volleys from the Huns burst forth
he Hopped down as tho. gh dead. An
o'her moment and lie was able to
spot three of the Huns with'his re
peater. but by this time tho fourth
Hun was atop of him with the same
bt.vonet which Werner sent to Hur
risburg yesterday, lleing something
of a wrestler he managed to seize the
Hun and got" his head under his own
arm. Hot<ed up in this dilemma
tho Major suddenly appeared with:
"Pull his head up a little fur
ther."
The rest of the proceedings are
fatrly gory, due to the elaborate use
of a 45-callbcr army revolver in the
hands of the Major, who was so de
lighted to have been resaued that he
offered Werner 1,000 francs as a
present.
"Nix on the francs," said Werner.
"All I want is that saw-knife to show
the folks at home.
The weapon is so robust and artful
that one might carve an elephant
with It, and the saw easily buzzes
through hickory wood. Werner held
on to his trophy through many a lvos
piial experience for he bears the
Croix de Guerre, with leg and thigh
wounded and his left thumb shot to
pieces by a ma-hlne gun bullet.
Third Trial at Mail
Service in Air Made
Today Out of Gotham
New York, Dec. 20.—The third at
tempt by " ost Office Department
aviators to inaugurate aerial mail
service between New York an(l
Chicago was made to-day. Tilots
Bissell and Lamb ascended at 8.10
a. in., at the postal station at Bel
mont Park and started with mall
for Beilefoate, Pa., where they
planned to turn it over to other
aviators to be carried on to Cleve
land, the second relay point.
On Wcdnesduy and again yester
day through mail flights between
New York and Chicago failed, owing
to minor mishaps or depletion of
fuel.
Blssel and Lamb carried 400
pounds of mall.
Failure marked the third attempt.
Two hours After two apiators had
left Bplmont Park, L. 1., with 400
pounds of mail, this mall arrived at
the New York post office in trucks,
and it wa sarranged to send it for
ward to Chicago by train.

Pittsburgh and West Virginia
Railway May Handle Pan
Handle Traffic
Philadelphia, Dsc. 20.—Negotia
tions have been opened In earnest by
the Pennsylvania railroad manage
ment with the Pittsburgh and West
Virginia Railway, looking to an ar
rangement, mutually advantageous
under which the latter would be
come the route for a large amount
of the heavy Pun Handle trattlc to
and from the Pittsburgh district.
The mutter has so fur p'rogressed
that it Is likely a tentative proposi
tion will be in shape for further con
sideration by the end of this week.
It Is believed that the probability
of an agreement being reached is
more thun good.
The basis for the proposition is
that under the present order of
things in the railroad world, which
recognizes the economic waste of
duplicating costly facilities* when
those In existence can easily be made
to serve the requirements of the
sltuution, there offers in the Pitts
burgh and West Virginia a way to
provide the Pan Handle with a bet
ter lino than its own for some four
teen miles, and at a cost less than an
equal good new line could be con
structed, at the samo time Siflfordlng
the Pan Handle enlarged access to
the terminal and Industrial district
of Pittsburgh.
For the Pittsburgh and West Vir
ginia railway, on its side, the propo
| sition offers a way to utilize in fuller
and increasing way its really valu
able line into Pittsburgh, built a
number of years ago ithout regard
to cost, but in way to seeure a low
grade and enuble economical opera
tion. To make connections the Pan
Handle would have to construct
about three miles of line at the west
ern end of the Pittsburgh and West
Virginia and a short spur nearer
Pittsburgh, where botli railroads are
at several points within a stone's
throw.
Additional Sleeping
Runs Added January 1
"The railroad administration yes
terday announced the restoration,
on January 1, of fifteen through
sleeping car runs between New York
and Philadelphia to Florida and
otho*- Southern points. They were
discontinued north of Washington,
a year ago as a war measure.
Through baggage cars are also to be
operated between the two northern
cities and the Florida resorts, begin
ning with the new year.
The Pennsylvania railroad, lines
east of Pittsburgh, puts into service
Junuary 1, a new passenger time
table. Some slight changes in the
running time of through express
train service to the east, to conform
with the order issued yesterday by
the railroad administration, will be
made. It is understood that the win
ter tourist business to Florida and
other Southern resorts will be re
stored to pre-war times basis.
Paycar Will Move
Westward Tomorrow
Tlie Philadelphia division pay car
which has been paying employes in
Harrisburg since Wednesday, will
leave to-morrow morning at 11
o'clock for westward movement to
Ttockville byway of the freight
track. It will leave Harrisburg for
Royalton at 2 o'clock in the after
noon.
