WILSON'S ANSWER is READY
U. S. Reply to British Order in Coun.
Gil Will Go to London Within
TWenty-Four Hours.

Washington, March 26.-President
Wilson, it was said at the White
House, expects to forward the Ameri-
can reply to the British order in coun-
Gil to London within the next twenty
four hours. Reports that the Japanese
demands upon China were causing the
president great anxiety were denied
at the White House. A reply from
Japan to the American inquiry as to
the demands is expected shortly. No
confirmation of the report that the
United States has consulted both
Great Britain and Russia relating to
the demands of Japan could be OBJ
tained.

Advertisement of Boston Physician
Merely Stated Facts Exactly as

A Boston physician tells Of a Doctor
Reed who, in his time, was one Of the
prominent medicos of the Hub. His
large practice included many patients
outside the city limits, and these he
visited in his buggy.
One day Doctor Reed bought a new
horse. with which he was much
pleased until he discovered that the
animal had an insurmountable Objec'
tion to bridges of all kinds, and could
not be made to cross one.
Inasmuch as at that period 1t was
necessary to cross certain bridges in
order to reach any one Of the sur

Rumsey Memorial To Be Erected.

At meeting of the Rumseyan Society
last Friday contract was tentatively
awarded for the erection ola memorial to
James Rumsey, inventor ofthe steamboat,
at this place. There were four competi-
tors-from Boston, New York, Baltimore
and Chambersburg, Pa. II was decided
to give the contract to the Forbes Granite
Company, OF the latter place, which was
represented here by the head OF the firm,
H. r. Forbes. The firm will build the
memorial from the design presented by
VIM. Henry Deacy and Robert F. Small
wood, associated architects, OF New York.
The design accepted is very beauti-
full Ionic column, to be constructed OF
Mount Airy white granite. Including the
base, il will be approximately five feet
in diameter and Is feet in height. The
column will be surmounted by polished
granite globe, on which the continents
will be shown in relief. The price for
the work, including the preparation OF
the site is $500. The work will, it is
hoped, be started at once and finished as
soon as such an important undertaking
can be properly completed. If all goes
well it ought 10 be ready for dedication
some time next fall.
The monument will be erected on the
rocky bluff just east OF town, on site
purchased from the Norfolk & Western
Railway Company, overlooking the Po-
tomac river where Rumsey made his first
successful experiment in steam naviga-
ton. The site is commanding one, and
the monument will be landmark for
long distance. A concrete foundation
will be constructed on the cliff, and on
plaza forty feet square the column will
be placed. A flight OF steps will lead to
the bluff and suitable railing will en-
close the platform. Ultimately It's hoped
that suitable parking may be provided.
The Forbes Granite Company, which
gets the contract, is substantial firm OF
Chambersburg. Its most important piece
of work in this section is the beautiful
Indiana monument on Antietam battle
field, near the Dunkard Church. There
is no doubt that il will handle this work
satisfactorily.

Painful Accident To A Boy.

Cecil Bell, the bright young son ofMrs.
Nj. L. Bell, met with painful accident
on Tuesday, and it is fortunate that he
escaped with his life. He had climbed
upon the iron fence at Edward L. Rein
harris residence to get ball from the roof
OF small building where it had lodged,
when his support gave way and he fell
upon the fence. One OF the iron pickets
pierced his side TO depth OF about two
inches, making dangerous and painful
wound. The fact that the picket struck
upon rib and thus glanced is probably
all that saved his life. DR.. Burwell was
summoned and gave him surgical atten-
ton. II was feared at first that his hung
had been punctured, but this seems not
TO have been the case and he is now get
ting along satisfactorily. Cecil is one OF
our towns best boys, and his friends hope
that he will soon be all right again.

Wheat Improving Greatly.

During the past week or two the grow
ing wheat has benefited marvelously by
the change from a drought TO Seasonable
weather, and there is now promise OF a
very good crop. Some fields may not
yield so well, but there has been such a
change for the better within the past two
weeks that generally the outlook is favor
acle for fine crop. One farmer informs
us that he expects fully as large a yield
as he had last year, which was better
than the average. Another is figuring on
Is bushels per acre, and one who thought
few weeks ago that he wouldn't have
ten bushels is now expecting twenty
bushels per acre. The corn has come up
well and the farmers are cultivating If
while conditions are favorable.
