Steelton Lad Tells of
I Closing Days of the War
Joseph Wolf, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph G. Wolf, 639 North Front
street, Steelton, describes some of
the gruesome sights he witnessed
after the fighting at Death's Valley,
In n letter recently received by his
parents. It follows:
"This is Sunday night on Hill No.
297, where at one time not so many
weeks ago, there was a fierce battle
where the crown prince lost his army
of 400,000 men.
"When we came up here to the
front we had a march of about
twenty-five miles. We started about
5 o'clock in the evening and reached
our destination about 3 o'clock In the
afternoon, and the mud was up to
our knees. We had no place to sleep
but in the mud, and the roar of the
cannon was intense, but what did
that matter to us when we were dead
tired, so we made our beds in a shell
hole and went to sleep regardless of
all the noise from the guns. When
we got awake In the morning It was
the same guns, the same men at the
guns, and for days the noise of the
big guns continued." We were given
two days' rest before we started to
work repairing roads and bridges
that were destroyed by the Germans.
So you see we are playing the part
of engineers.
"The shells we were most bothered
with were gas shells, which did not
do much damage except on a few oc
casions when some of the men were
gassed and some we killed in differ
ent manners.
"Very close to where we stayed at
night It was in a place where there
were a lot of little shrubs and
bushes, where we made our tents so
they could not be detected by the
Germans. At this place I speak of
there were quite a few' railroads
which the Germans would bomb very
often at night. Although wo could
not see them we could hear them,
and the powerful searchlights trying
t6 locate the machine, that is, when I
could get out of my tent to see If
they were coming close or not. At
that time we were working on a ca
nal. I do not know the name, but it
Is near the Meuse river. This canal
was entirely destroyed by the Ger
mans.
"Not far away was a place called
Death's Valley. I did not see the
battle there, but I was there short
ly after and It sure was a sight.
American, French and German dead
were to be seen everywhere, and all
along the edge of the Argonne for
est there were tanks and ruins of
war, and the mud, If you will take
notice, I speak quite freely of mud.
We sure do have It here, but we have
gotten use to It now and don't think
any more of It than we do of a little
snow at home.
"Just at present *we are living In
dugouts and tin shanties. We have
stoves and real good beds, which Is
much better than living In the
bushes In a tent.
"When the war stopped we were
working on the canal getting It ready
to let the water run so It could be
used. We got the news that on the
eleventh day of the eleventh month
all the guns were to stop firing and
we sure did wait and listen for the
given time. And at last the three
elevens came and the guns did Btop,
but we could not believe the end of
the war had come, because we didn't
think there was an end.
"It was a wonderful thing to see
the trenches and dugouts. Some of
the dugouts are about sixty feet un
der the ground, and resemble an
apartment house. This place seems
to be to be the most historic place of
all. I think the greatest experience
was, when we were coming across,
the battle with the submarines.
There are many other things I
would like to tell you about, but I
must close. Our candle Is going out.
It Is 7 o'clock so there is nothing
ixoaca to do but go to bett" ' ,
The convention proper will open
at 9.30 on Wednesday morning, Jan
uary 22, In the Chestnut Street Audi
torium, Harrisburg. The first busi
ness will be the reading of the su
perintendent's and treasurer's re
ports and the announcement of the
committees, which will be followed
by the transaction of general busi
ness. The' Hon. M. Clyde Kelly,
member of Congress from Pitts
burgh and Mrs. Florence D. Rich
ard, president of the Ohio Women's
Christian Temperance Union, will
speak at the morning session.
At the afternoon session there will
be expressions on the various phases
of the dry movement from delegates
of the participating agencies. Mr.
Howard will deliver his address en
titled "The Dawn of a New Day."
The Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell, pastor
of Grace Church, will lead a con
ference on the churches' part in the
work for ratification.
Sproul to Speak
The evening session will open
with a concert by the Common
wealth Band at 7.30 o'clock. This
will be followed by the report of the
resolutions committee. Governor
Sproul will likely deliver hiß address
at this time. Congressman Fess' ad
dress will take place at the evening
session as will also one by Mrs.
Mary Harris Armor, of Georgia, na
tional lecturer for the Women's
Christian Temperance Union. After
these distinguished speakers have
finished, there will be a demonstra
tion of the members of the Legisla
ture of Pennsylvania, all of whom
have been especially invited to at
tend the convention.
During the forenoon, the Rev. W.
M. Woodfln, a Presbyterian minis
ter who spent considerable time at
the front in FYance and who has re
cently been lecturing for the Dry
Federation, will give the latest news
on ratification. Throughout the
convention and at the conference
preceding It, Mr. and Mrs. Frank M.
Wnring, well-known temperance
Bingers, will deliver solos and direct
the music. There will be a place on
the program for spontaneous ex
pressions from delegates to the con
vention.
Another feature which shows the
importance of Harrisburg Just now
as a gathering place for dry leaders
Is the fact that the annual meeting
of the board of trustees of the Anti-
Saloon League will be held there on
the day before and the day of the
convention. All the members of the
board have been invited io partici
pate in the Ratification Convention.
On the following Sunday, the An
ti-Saloon League will hold its an
nual field day at Harrisburg. On the
following Tuesday evening, William
Jennings Bryan and ex-Governor
Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, will speak
at the Chestnut Street Auditorium
under the auspices of the Antl-Sa
loon League.
Governor Asks For State
Ratification of "Dry"
Amendment in Last Talk
In his last public address as Chief
Executive of the state. Governor
Brumbaugh before a men's mass
meeting in the Central Y. M. C. A.
building yesterday lavished praise
upon the brave men In khaki and
navy blue who served in the great
world war. He gave high praise
to these wa,rrion, and suggested
that the Y. M. C. A.'s of the nation
be turned into places of welcome for
the soldiers. "I want to make the
suggestion that when these boys
come home, instead of being oblig
ed to form campfires and organiza
tions where they can meet, the home
of the Red Triangle should be
thrown open and here they may
father. Let this Red Triangle be
the welcome of everybody who wore
the khaki," he urged.
Opening his address the Governor
said, "While I shall change my place
of residence I shall never change
my purpose and I shall always stand
firm with you in what I,believe are
the things decent and right." After
avowing his determination to always
follow the dictates of his conscience,
even though he be leading a retired
life. Governor Brumbaugh began to
sktch a few of the developments in
the history of his administration. He
mentioned the development of Oapl
tol Park and said "It will make
Harrlsburg's and Pennsylvania's
I Capitol the most beautiful and Btate
ly In the world. The beautiful bridge
will be dedicated to and have on it
the names of the soldiers and sail
ors of the Commonwealth who have
won undying fame in this world
war."
Touching upon the ratification of
the prohibition amendment the Gov
ernor emphasized the fact that he
had brought the matter before the
Legislature four years ago and two
years ago. "If you're on the right
side you can't lose the fight," he
averred. "89 it has come to pass
that I have come to see the Legis
lature of Pennsylvania ready to give
us a local option law on a silver plat
ter—and we won't take It. Penn-'
sylvanla lugs behind in the proces
sion. Our ratification now has lit
tle importance, but we and our chil
dren and our children's children
would be eternally disgraced If we
do not ratify the amendment."
The meeting opened at 3.15 with
an organ prelude by Miss Ruth 8.
Graybill, organist at the Stevens
Memorial Methodist Church. Miss
Margaretta Kennedy played several
'cello solos. Dr. George Edward
Hawei. pastor of the Market Square
Presbyterian Church, read th Scrip
ture lesson and offered prayer, and
Mrs. Robert B. Reeves sang.
Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of the

Holsum Bread
is baked under the direct supervision of a baker
who knows baking from A to Z. That is the
reason that it is always the same and always the
very highest quality that bread can be. You get a
big full size, full weight loaf and you get bread that is
baked thoroughly all the way through, and bread with
the crust delicately brown and tender. Holsum bread
is body building. It is easily digested.

Judge McClure Hands Down
Decision of Great Interest
to the Government
Federal operation of railroads J

Harold E. McClure, who has over

Concerning the contention that
the cases should be dismissed on the
ground that the United States gov

terference therewith." He also says
that while the president may Initiate
rates subject to review by the Inter
state Commerce Commission the
commission In determining the rea
sonableness of the rates must take
Into consideration the finding by the
president that more revenue Is neces
sary to meet the expenses of federal
control. In addition to a proper re
turn to the owners, the needs of the
government for money to operate the
roads must now be taken as a fac
tor. But there Is nothing in the act
which in terms makes this provision
apply' to intrastate rates. Only by
express terms and In unequivocal
language would such important pow
ers be attempted to be transferred
from state to federal Jurisdiction.
After quoting the federal railroad
act Judge McClure says "we do not
see how It could be made any clearer
that the railroads and transporta
tion systems whlla under federal
control were not only to be subject
to all laws and liabilities as com
mon carriers under stnte laws as
provided in section ten, but that
nothing In the statute should be con
strued to amend or repeal said laws
or Impair or affect the lawful police
regulations of the states, save In the
excepted cases where such laws,
powers or regulations may affect the
transportation of troops, war ma
terials, government supplies or the
Issue of stocks and bonds."
In an opinion filed by Commission
er M. J. Ryan, In which refertmce Is
made to Judge McClure's decision,
the Central Railroad of New Jersey
Is ordered to strike off a tariff of
July 25 for hauling coal, which was
complained of by the New Jersey
Zlnce Company. Mr. Ryan says
that the state commission has au
thority to regulate Intrastate rates
and "that the striking down of un
lawful tariffs and the vindication by
enforcement of our adjudications
under the public service company
law Is our duty." In this case the
railroad presenSM the fact that It
was under federal control and dea
clared that the rates were initiates
by the United States government.
In the name of the Edlnboro State
Normal School vs. the Erie, Pitts
burgh and Lake Erie and other rail
roads, the commission Issues an or
der that the director general of rail
roads and the railroads interested
show cause why rates established for
coal hauls from the Pittsburgh dis
trict to Edlnboro by the commission
prior to the railroads being taken
over by the government should not
be regarded as the base rate.
An Exploded Idea
Time was when we used to think
there was nothing and could be noth
ing like fresh creamery butter! The
idea of a substitute for butter was
repugnant to people of taste. The
I old type Oleomargarine was a sub
i tcrfuge deemed not quite respectable.
'But science has made progress since
Tlewcy fought /the Spaniards at Ma
nila. and to-day Benefit Brand
"Sweet Nut" is a table luxury that
many consider fully the equal If not
the superior, of the real dairy pro
duct. There is something apetlztgn
In the thought that "Sweet Nut"
Margarine Is churned from the de
licious white meat of the cocoanut
and pasteurized milk. Best of all, it
cuts your butter bill almost In half
