slaughtered and the meat sold
through Illicit trade channels.
The thieves watch for teams the
drivers of which have left them for
a moment, and drive the horses
away. If the wagons contain any
thing of valuo It is stolen and the
horses are taken to secret barns and
sheds, or even to wooded suburban
sections, and killed immediately.
Insurance companies that used to
insure horses and teams will do so
no more.

OLD COURTHOUSE
CLOCK PRESENTED
Dauphin County Historical
Society Receives Unique
Relic of Olden Days
Members of the Dauphin County
Historical Society, who last night
listened to a paper of rare interest
by Captain John H. Campbell, of
the State Internal Affairs Land Of
fice, on the methods of land patent
ing In Pennsylvania of to-day, were
presented with the clock which kept
time and "record of the minutes" in
the old Dauphin county court house.
The presentation was made ny B.
M. Nead, president of the society. In
an address which traced the history
of the ancient timepiece In a most
entertaining way.
After the meeting the executive
committee arranged for an expansion
of the work of the society, which
has been made the depository of the
rocords of Dauphin county's soldiers
In the World War, and a series of
programs of much local interest was
outlined, the first to be presented
at the November meeting. The
rooms of the society will also be
brought to attention of the public
so that it can enjoy the numerous
articles and records it contains.
These plans will be announced from
time to time.
At the opening of the meeting res
olutions on the death of Mrs. Elisa
beth Craln Kunkel, long a member
of tho society, were presented by
George F. Ross, and on George W.
Parsons, for years a member of the
executive committee, were read by
Dr. Hugh Hamilton, a life-long
friend.
Captain Campbell's paper told of
many interesting things in that
storehouse of records, the State Land
Office, and described the patenting
of lands from the days of William
Penn with an outline of the proced
ure followed when Pennsylvania
passed from province to Common
wealth. He told how the office now
operates and interspersed his paper
with some incidents of unusual im
portance In local hlbtory. Captain
Campbell was given a rising vote
of thanks for his paper, which will
be preserved.
The old clock was given to the
society by William M. Hoerner. In
presenting it, Mr. Nead gave an out
line of the early courts of the county,
which were held first in a log house
near Front and Washington where
Judge Green sat for the first time in
the spring of 1785, being held later
in the old log jail on the Jail lot just
in from Court and Strawberry
streets; then moving to the com
modious building on the site of the
Central hotel and moving to the
first court house either in 1799 or
1800. This building was occupied
until the Legislature went into the
court house when it first came to
Harrisburg and the courts moved
again to the White Hall tavern, now
the Charlton, to one of the churches,
and later to the brick building on
the site of the Bell Telephone build
ing at Court and Walnut streets. The
old clock was in the first court house
and followed the courts to tempo
rary buildings, being for a time
either Salem Reformed or the old
First Presbyterian church and re
turning with the courts to the pres
ent court house where it was dis
carded and became the timepiece in
the old Hershey house where it got
to know a generation or two of Har
risburgers.
The clock is a huge white round
affair with a figure of justice in the
center. It is now, as Mr. Nead said,
"to keep company with many of its
friends of long ago" in the collec
tion of the society.
British Villages Organize
Clubs to Better Community
London, Oct. 10. —More than 380
English villages have organized
branches of the Village Clubs As
sociation, a union of rural com
munity societies through which It 1b
planned to make country life more
attractive. In each of these com
munities, clubhouses have been con
structed varying in size and appoint
ment from a simple reading room,
which may also be made to serve
as a general meeting place, to Net
tlebed's pretentious village hall
which offers men's and women's
dressing rooms, library, reading and
billiard rooms, a play shed, skittle
alley, rifle range, kitchen and cook
ery school.
In the organization of these clubs,
four points are given prime con
sideration—the eligibility of both
women and men to membership,
that the clubs shall be nonpolitical
and nonsectarlan, that the shall
be self-supporting and that they
shall be administered by a commit
tee elected by the members.
Hindenburg Living
on Private Estate
Ixmdon, Oct. 10.—General Von
Hindenburg, once commander of the
German armies, is now living on his
Hanover estate, the quiet life he
left to enter the East Prussia cam
paign Ave years ago, wrlteß a cor
respondent. Absence of the uniform
makes a big difference in his ap
pearance. Wearing a short, rough
coat and a Panama hat, and no
very well cut trousers, his burley
figure looks as though It were burst
ing out of his clothes. He looks
like a bank manager or an ordinary
German business man.
Frau Von Hindenburg has a pleas
ant face, and might be the wife
of a country parson. She has flat
hats, wears her skirts long, and
smiles often.

sued by the American Red Cross

A considerable proportion of the

Mexico Adapted to
German Emigration,
Newspapers Declare
Coblenz, Oct. 10.—Mexico Is pic
tured by various German news
papers as a country perfectly adapt
ed to Germany's future needs so
far as emigration is concerned. Emil
Zlmmermann, in the Deutsche Wirts
Chnftszukunft, deplores the attitude
of many members of the government
who believe that Germany should
attempt to keep all her people at
home. Much more reasonable and
sensible, Zlmmermann asserts, is the
view of those members of the gov
ernment that the only cure for the
labor unrest and the great amount
of unemployment throughout Ger
many Is to get rid of as large a
number of laborers as possible'
through emigration.

er.
The guests were whisked aloft
singly for flights of from five to
twenty minutes In one of Durant's
three airplanes, later discussing their
experiences over the tea cups.

FALKENHAYN
DEFENDS CAREER
Declares German Losses at
Verdun Were Not
Excessive
Berlin, Oct. 10. —In defense of his
administrative career as chief of staff
of the German armies In 1915 and
1916, General Erich Van Falkenhayn
denies that German losses at Verdun
were excessive. He declares they
were under those of the enemy.
German defensive operations at
the Somme, he declares, were effec
tive under his direction whereas only
limited results previously had been
achieved. The successes of the Eng
lish and French at the Somme, he
claims, were possible only because
of the Austrian collapse which neces
sitated the dispatch of heavy re
inforcements to the eastern front.
Von Falkenhayn declares tho
swift success of the Rumanian cam
paign which he comme.nded after
his dismissal as chief of staff was
due primarily to exhaustive pre
parations of the General Staff before
his retirement. Rumania's declara
tion of war, he states, was the ex- j
ternal pretext for his retirement al
though this move on his part was ]
primarily due to the machinations
of other persons in the German
military circles who had been plot
ting his overthrow for a long time.
