THE GLOBE
WEDNESDAY EVENING,
whatever they may please about the
American Army. Many of the stories
they tell are new to the officers of
the Third Army who count them as
German propaganda.
One writer of a long article in the
Leipsic paper dealing with life in
Coblens relates alleged instances of
ridiculous sentences imposed upon
Germans by the American Army
courts. In one case he says that
the wife of a government official,
"annoyed on the street by a drunlcen
soldier exclaimed in her anger: 'lf
only all the Americans would go to
the devil!'" The military court, he
says, punished her for "this religious
wish" by sentencing her to appear
every morning for thirty days at the
headquarters of the commanding
officer and repeating to those present
the phrase: "I\ am glad that you are
still here, gentlemen, and It is my
wish that you continue to stay here
for a long while."
This is all news to the American
officers. If any woman appears at
headquarters every morning, the
sentries on duty there have failed
to notice it. It is part of their job
to prevent trespassing by Germans
at the main entrance of the Third
Army headquarters.
Another fictitious tale narrated by
the Leipsic writer to arouse German
dislike for Americans, deals with a
case in which a woman, splashed by
mud from an automobile ejaculated,
"those dirty American automobiles."
For this the Leipsic Munchausen
avers a military court sentenced her
to climb the fortress of Ehrenbriet
stein daily at 5 a. m. for thirty days
carrying a pail, scrubbing brush and
scouring rag and to clean six Amer
ican automobiles. Upon completion
of this task, he asserted, she was re
quired to walk back home similarly
equipped.

State highway
I I between tbe up "
up the Job this
year. The representatives of the
firm are here arranging to start i
work and will rush it because of
the heavy travel on the road and the,
systematic manner in which it has I
handled big projects.
This firm has handled some of the
big work at Hog Island and is now!
engaged on work at York Village,
near Chester. Jt is an experienced
concern and used to big enterprises. I
The "Narrows" work will make a
first-class highway from Harrisburg
to Clark's Ferry. It amount to mak
ing a first-class road through Dau
phin and on up to the improvement
made above that place by the Penn
sylvania railroad, which relocated
the road and built a wall along the
river below Clark's Ferry. This Is
the work which was undertaken in
conjunction with the State and in
volved filling in of the old canal bed.
The road was passed under the rail
road, the State Highway Department
paying for a third of the cost of
the subway.
First and last probably $600,000
will have been spent on this road by
the time the Nawn contract is fin
ished, because the railroad work
amounted to over a quarter of a
million dollars alone.

Letter to the Editor
PRAISES BOY SCOUTS
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Dear Sir —I will thank you for
space in your paper to say a few
complimentary words for the Boy
Scouts of the city. On Memorial Day
I assigned quit© a number of the
boys on both sides of the second
division, composed of the G. A. R.,
and asked them to watch carefully
and notice whether any of the com
rades were taken ill or give out.
They performed their duties most
admirably. Each scout carried a
canteen of water and frequently re
filled it along the route of march.
Many of the comrades ofTered to pay
them In sums ranging from a nickel
to a quarter, which they politely
refused, saying, "we are here to aid
you without pay and it is a pleasure
for us to serve you."
They were polite, attentive and
gentlemanly in their deportment.
13
and I take great pleasure in prais
ing them and their noble work.
