Carlisle Boy Saved Second
Time From Drowning

Carlisle, Pa. Aug. 2. - For the
second time in a few years, Charles
Graham, aged IA, was saved from
death by drowning. Swimming in the
Conodoguinet creek near Hays Bridge
the boy was suddenly seized with
cramps and sank. Friends heard his
cries but thought that he was playing
with them. John Trimmer, aged IT,
finally plunged in and brought the lad
to shore just as he was losing con-
sciousness. Two years ago the boy
had a narrow escape when the boat
in which he was fishing with his father
was sunk by a launch. The father
plunged in to rescue the boy, but
drowned himself, young Graham be-
ing gotten to shore by Sterrett Parkin-
son, who was afterwards awarded a
Carnegie Medal and $4,000. Parkin-
son has been attending Harrisburg
Technical High School.

Patrol and OUTPOST Work


The duties or the patrol and the
outguard have occupied the men of
the camp for the past few days and
the instruction now being impaired
will be put to a practical test during
the coming maneuvers, when individ-
ual judgment and coolheadedness will
be an important factor in deciding
which side is going to win the en-
gagement.
There was joy in camp when Gen
eral Wood approved the lists of names
submitted by the company command
ers as officers and noncommissioned
officers for the various units of the
four regiments. Camp tailors are now
busy sewing corporal and sergeant
chevrons on the sleeves of olive drab
shirts and cloth blouses by the scores.
A number of Harrisburg boys receiv-
ed the distinction of being made non
commissioned officers of their respec-
tive organizations.
Saturday afternoon a brigade drill
was attempted on the Post Drill
Plain. Every rookie in camp partici-
pated and the big plain was alive with
marching men and boys, wheeling and
turning, who two weeks ago could not
have told the difference between a
front sight cover" and a shelter
half" A huge crowd of spectators
witnessed the spectacle.
In this veritable city one seldom
sees ones friends unless they happen
to be in the same regiment, for in the
short periods of recreation allowed
there are so many things of import
ance to be accomplished that little

Harrisburgers here seem to be thriv-
ing on the diet afforded and so far
none nave shown any inclination to-
wards joining the navy in preference
to the infantryman's lot. Harrisburg
should be represented next year by
forty instead of twenty men, for once
inoculated with the army germ" it
is almost certain that the second year

to act as private while he gives com

hour after the Marina went down but
offered no assistance, American surviv-

A. Devlin, of Norfork, and p. 8. Ham
lin, of Baltimore, among the Americans
landed at Dublin, told practically the
same story. The submarine was sub
merged when she fired the first tor
pedo, they said, but came to the surface
and, after seeing that the steamer re-
mained afloat, shot another torpedo into
the port side.
Dispatches from Queenstown today

SMALL HITCH ARISES
OVER UNLOADING CARGO
Captain Koenig Says Under
sea Boats Will Displace
Battleships

New London, Conn, Nov. 2.-Smilng
Captain Koenig, skipper of the green
German submarine freighter Deutsch-
land, confidently thought today he
will be able to unload his $1O,00O,OOO
cargo without interference from the
United States.
He claimed there was no hitch about
this, but Collector of Port McGovern
of Connecticut, evidently thought diff,
erent, for he hastened to Hartford yes
terday to confer with Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, presumably about
the known jewels and the stocks and
bonds said to be aboard. The outcome
of this session had not been made pub
lie early today.
Soporific New London is wider awake
now that it has been since the day.
when the British sneaked up the chan
mel, captured the fort atop the Gordor
Hills and slew the brave American com
mander.
Captain Koenig and his crew ar,
cheered every time they appear on tn,
street. A 16-year.old member of tn,
crew with several sturdy fellow mem
bers narrowly escaped embraces from /,
crowd Of handsome women when they
appeared on Main street today. 'Thes
only edged out after they d signed au
tograph photographs of their boat. Til,
crow has shore leave-and they re er
joying it.
The story goes that when the Scot
tug greeted the Deutschland and in
quired if it wanted tow, a voice from
aboard the submarine answered, "No
We want beer"
Captain Koenig's talk with newspa
permen left the impression that anti
American feeling still is rather stron,
in Germany, though he hesitantly sal,
it was not Every bad.'' He scoffs a
the British blockade.
"It's only spy system, chain o
commercial agents." he said, "and i
the British navy comes out, why wei
be ready for them, though, frankly, W
can't catch up to England's nava
strength during the war.
"Germany thinks the war will last a
least another year and it is confident o
the outcome.

future. Battleships are no good an
