Army Burns solidihed Alcohol

The commissary department. of the
French army has lately distributed to
men on guard in the advanced trenches
solidihed alcohol which is early lighted
by match, and, burning without
visible flame, gives out sufficient heat
to warm up rations. From the chemist 5
standpoint solidifed alcohol is still in
existent, all efforts to arrive at this
result at ordinary temperatures having
failed. The availability of so-called
solid;ied alcohol is due to the genius
of the smuggler. About ten wears ago a
man conceived the idea of crushing
grated white soap in mortar and mix
ing with ii its weight in alcohol. In this
form the alcohol passed the customs in
spection as soap and subsequent sim
pie process of distillation restored the
alcohol TO its natural state. This was
the process taken up by the army to
furnish soldiers in the trenches a CON
venient, ineonspieuous means of heating
their food.

WEATHER FORECASTS
GOOD THAT MAY COME FROM THE WAR

Although the war in Europe has been arousing
racial hatred and has been having thousand and
one other harmful effects, any optimist see
without great difficulty that it cannot but have
few beneficial results well. 1t will most likely be
the means of reeonciling certain races which were
at odds before the outbreak of hostihties, or at
least of adjusting matters that the causes of dis
sension will disappear.
That the is bringing the Scandinavian ma
lions, Norway, Sweden and Denmark, closer to-
gether from day to day. is evidenced by the united
action they repeatedly taking on important
questions brought up by the bellgerents. Causes
of discord, which rather plentiful not so long
ago in the northern kingdoms are being forgotten
in the harmony which has followed the conference
of the three sovereigns who are now united in their
efforts to preserve peace.
revived kingdom of Poland seems certain to-
be established after the smoke has cleared away or
before and oppression of the Poles would then
come to an end These liberty loving people whose
cause h4s been in such prominence of late have
never fully submitted to the rule of the nations
which divided them. They have clung to their Ian
guage and, as people have refused to become
loyal Russians, Germans or Austrians They have
aused trouble by keeping up the conflict in German
stants and Catholics. and their release as an indie
pendent people would put an end to these disturb
knces
Not the least consideration is that to which atten.
ion has been called by the German ambassador to
america, Count Won Bernstorff, concerning the
banged relations of Jews in his country which the
ar Is bringing about. 1t is his opinion that hatred

|The reason assigned for the change is that the

ANOTHER CoUNTERFEITER CAUGHT

The counterfeiting business is not which rec
ommends itself to clever engravers and printers as
a means of earning daily living in safety and hap
piness. Uncle Sam has demonstrated time and again
that he has no idea of giving inducements to pro-
heient eounterfeiters by allowing them to dispose
of the products of their labors without interference
He is of the opinion that he can do his own engrav-
ing and printing and needs no outside assistance.
In discOuraging competition in the money print
ing business, Uncle Sam not only has put stop to
the operation of presses turning out work similar
to his own but has repeatedly taken charge of the
operators and placed them in institutions where
they no longer pursue their industry. A Fed
eral prison has been the ultimate destination of
many eounterfeter.
During the last month counterfeit postal money
orders passed in different parts of the country
and nationwide search for the producer ended
yesterday in the arrest in New Orleans of Balt-
more printer who confessed to the crime. After
the first counterfeit had been reported from the
Pittsburgh postoffice january l6, warnings were
given to every postmaster in the United States,
through the official Postal Guide of the Depart
ment; papers throughout the country published
news of the existence of the counterfets and prae
tcally every postal Inspector in the service began
looking for the offender
When man passes counterfeits of United States
stamps, money, money orders or other government
mediums of exchange, he is offender against the
entire nation and the whole country is after him.
1t must be very clever rascal who can evade the
government organization of sleuths with their
facilities for tracing him from one end of the coun
try to another and for giving the widest publicity
to his methods
The evidence against the Baltimore man. who was
yesterday made prisoner is said to be sufficient
under the Federal law to send him to prison for
as many as forty years. Uncle SAM far from feel
ing sincerely flattered when his print shop products
are initiated, is apt to feel decidedly displeased
and the consequences of being out of favor with
him in this respect are not pleasant ones to con-
template.

"a MORE PERSONS HIT TRAIL.
Interest Unabated as Evangelist Mil
ler's Stay at Mechanicsburg
Is Nearing End

Merchandising, Feb. is. - Five
weeks ago Evangelist f. C. Miller and
his party came 70 Mechaniesburg as
strangers. When they leave. few
days hence, they will 90 as dear
friends of large majority of our
people. As the campaign is in the
last days, expressions. verbal and ma
terial, of appreciation of their work
for MechaIicsburg multiply. Last
evening gifts were presented from a
number of groups of workers in the To-
cal campaign. The ushers presented to
Mr.. Miller fine travelling toilet set
in leather case. The ushers grouped
themselves in front of the platform as
the presentation was made by Chief
Usher Herslfman and at the close they
sang "Blest Be the Tie That Binds. +"
The choir gift to Prof. Hohgatt was q
leather travelling bag, and to Miss Cree
gold wrist watch, the Rev. H. NJ.
Dice being spokesman for the eLoir.
The women s Bible class, through Mrs.
J. S. Weaver, presented to Mrs. Bow
man a mesh purse of gold. The pray
er meeting superintendents and assist
ants. through the Rev. c. +. Raach, pre-
sented to Mrs. Miller an orange with
gold "seed. The evangelist and
his party most feelingly responded to
these various evidences of appreciation.
BY request of number of the per-
sonal workers and others, Mr.. Miller
repeated the sermon on Excuses, -
which he delivered several weeks ago,
based on Psa. 39:7, And now, Lord,
what wait fort Ny hope is in thee, y
and the experience of blind Bartimeus.
He took up, one by one, the excuses
most frequently offered for not accept
ing Christ, and showed the futility of
all of them and said: ''If you can t
understand the new birth. you don t
need TO understand it. You see the
evidences of it all around you. Don t
wait because You don t feel like it.
Christian feeling is the fruit of the
spirit, and YOU don t have the spirit of
Christ until you let Christ come into
your heart. Bartimaeus had the op-
portunity once to meet and accept
Christ. You have the opportunity
now''
There were thirty-four decisions,
men again largely predominating.
Tonight Evangelist Miller will
preach on ga Refuge of Lies To-
morrow night a great song service,
with full choir and orchestra, will be
given under the direction of Prof. Hob
gait. On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Bow
man will deliver to men the address on
"The Second Coming of Christ" which
she gave to women last Sunday.

War Ruins French Roads

Rain and war together have COM
pleted the destruction of the admirable
high roads in the north, of which
France was once proud. The continual
iassage of heavy artillery and of the
laundering motor trucks have worn
deep ruts in them, now filed with mud
that sticks like glue. Within range
of the serhi<ixed battle line, the ruts
are nothing compared to the multitude
OF funnel-shaped holes where the big
German shells have ripped out the
macadam and gouged sometimes three
feet deep into the roadway. Speed
is now certain suicide on these routes
and the work of bringing up supplies
has suffered accordingly. 1t requires
three motor trucks now to do the work
accomplished by two a month ago. The
rapid increase in the French motor
equipment has made it possible to sur
mount the difficulty at the expense of
an enormous wear and tear.

RECORD DURING YEAR 1871 |
More Than eco Per Cent. Of Pennsy
Employees shows Loyalty to Com
pany Rules-Many Te1ts Were
Made

Out of S.S6l,962 efficiency tests
and observations made ON the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad last year, more than
ss.e per cent. showed perfect obedi.
ence to the train safety rules. To be
exact, the safety regulations were fol-
lowed to the letter 1,4s4 times in
every 1,495 cases observed. The tests
covered the work of both officers and
employees of the Operating Department.
Exactly s4,79S tests were made of
the observance of stop signals, and in
only ga eases did the employees fail to
live up to the strict letter of the
rules-in other words the employees
were 99.S6 per cent. perfect in their
observance of stop signals,
The results OF these tests, which
have Just been complied, show how it
was possible for the Pennsylvania
Railroad System in 1914 to carry near
ly 190,000,000 passengers, in more
than 100000 trains, over $4,000
miles of track, without single passen-
ger being killed in a train accident.
An absolutely perfect record was
made by enginemen in observing flag
men s signals; 1S,20S tests showed not
one failure. Altogether, tests were
made last year of compliance with 81
different classes of safety rules. In
81 of the 81 classes, records of 99.9
per cent. efficiency. or better, were
made. In three classes, representing a
total of S1,S79 individual tests, per
feet performance was recorded.
In 11S.747 instances observed,
there were only S14 in which the rules
governing the handling of explosives
and intlammahles were not followed
exactly. There were only four failures
in 129.77S tests for obedience of the
rule against trains leaving or arriving
ahead of time. In all save nine out of
1921 cases, the regulations requiring
trainmen TO be stationed at all npro-
teeted grade crossings, during the
shifting OF cars, were obeyed. There
were only-17 infractions, in 53.4S0 in
stances, of the rules governing watch
men at protected crossings.
To test obedience to the regulations
for the protection of men working on
or about tracks, no, less than S09,3S9
observations were made. In only SO
instances was there failure to follow
the rules perfectly. Out of 1852 OBJ
servations to see whether first aid
equipment was kept in proper order,
six eases requiring criticism was found
In addition to the observations for
obedience to the train safety rules,
51,414 tests were made last year in
the use of signals. The results showed
99.4 per cent. of perfect efficiency.
