WASHINGTON, Dec. IA letter

by Secretary Of War Garrison from
General Goethals
Owing to earth movement wrote
Goethals, there is no way of telling

Mediterranean Heard on Wireless

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. IT. B. Mil.
Ter, Seattle wireless man, announced
that he has for the past several nights
been able to hear distinctly Italian
warships in the Mediterranean talking
to one another. At the Interplay sta
tion he heard the Etruria, a small pro.
tected cruiser, calling the battleship
Carlo Alberto. Miller could not under
stand the nature of the message, but
made out the names of the ships with
out trouble.
Miller has no means of knowing just
where the Etruria was stationed, but
estimates she was at least 10000 miles
from Seattle

State School To Be Torn Down


WHITTIER, Dec. 7.-Wreckers are
preparing to raze the $130,000 admins
tration building of the Whittier State
school. This big structure, the prin-
cipal edifice in the center of the group
of buildings constituting the dormi-
tory, workrooms and classrooms of the
reform school, was doomed to destruc-
tion when it was found the foundations
were poor and there was danger of the
walls collapsing.
1t is stated that the board of trus-
tees of the institution tried to devise
a means of preserving the building,
which was the initial structure built
by the founders of the school in 1890.
For two years they worked toward this
end, but finally had to recommend to
the state board of control that the
costly structure be torn down.
The building is of brick and stone,
and has five stories. 1t is 204 feet long
and 106 feet deep. The cost of build
ing, $130,242, does not include archi-
tects' fees, so the figures do not con-
vey the entire amount expended in it's
construction

Iron Cross and Austrian Medals
and Promotion Are Young
Mans Rewards.

Correspondence. of Associated Press).
BERUrN, Jam 16.-For a single ex-
plot a young non-commissioned of
ficer from Krossen has been promoted
to lieutenant and has received the
Iron Cross, first and second class, and
also the first and second class AUG
TRAN medals for bravery. His cool
ness and daring not only rescued a
captured Austrian general, but pre-
vented important plans from failing
into the hands Of the Russians.
Boarded Wrong Train.
The young corporal, whose name IL
Frfcke, had been with a company in
the west, but accidentally boarded the
wrong train when returning from q
short furlough home and was taken
to the east, where he joined a COM
pany OF infantry, During the battles
in the government OF Suwalki he was
ordered to go with two men to learn
whether a certain point near the Rus
SLAMS lines was free Of the enemy.
The three men succeeded Ii reaching
q point 800 yards from the Russians
most advanced trenches.
AS they lay In a ditch they saw a
group OF eighteen Russians approach
ing, and with them an elderly Aus
TRAN officer. The little squad OPEN
ed fire and brought down nine Rus
SLAMS. The remaining nine then gath
cred themselves around their captive
so close that further firing would
have endangered his life. Corporal
Fricke ordered an advance. ''But that
Is sure death, protested one Of the
men. Nevertheless they advanced.
Under Heavy Fire.
The nine Russians promptly threw
up their hands. calling out: Don't
shoot; we are fathers of families. .
The Russians IN the trenches, who
had heretofore refrained from firing,
doubtIes Judging that their comrades
could account for three men. now
opened q heavy FIRE. Under this fire
Frtcke brousht his captives and the
|. Austrian, who proved to be General
Krezy, a corps commander, back to
the German lines. Most Of the dis
lance was made by crawling along
the ground. When the German AUS
trian lines had been reached It was
found that the captured Russians mad
taken most important papers from
General Krezy, which, in the hands OF
the Russians. might have frustrated
the allies plans. :

Toll Roads Going.

Last week when Governor
Brumbaugh and party of tourists
passed through Chambersburg on
their way west through this
county, Mr.. Brumbaugh tackled
up a sign at tn Southern end of
the Chambersburg and Shippens-
burg turnpike, announcing that
travellers should not pay toll as
the State had taken over that
road. 1t caused rejoicing in that
section as it did when the pike
through this county was freed in
1918. Toll roads are going and
better living conditions in the
country are coming. Did you
ever close your eyes and try to
picture conditions after we get
good roads all over the country q?
When that day comes we will
have fast autobuses running be-
tween every postoffite in the
County. They will correspond
in our hilly county to electric
railroads elsewhere. They will
be patronized freely. From the
day that the first autobus offered
reliable transportation between
McConnellsburg and Chambers
burg, patronage increased and
we can now go comfortably tc
Franklin county several times
during the day if we wish. We
are sure that if a good, hard,
smooth road led from Harrison.
vile to Needmore. a daily auto.
bus line from Needmore to Nc.
Connellsburg would at once fol,
low. By charging a reasonable
fare between local points a big
business would result because
other short lines would be sure
to become feeders. Our people
want to travel they prove it by
their patronage of private auto:
everywhere. What a great day
for the advancement of social
religious, and business interests
when we make all roads safe anC
speedy for autobuses? The pass
ing of toll roads marked the be-
ginning of good roads system ev
erywhere.
