While no extended program has been
possible to send the boys OF Company n
away, it is probable that If sufhcient no
tice can be given a large crowd Will De
out to see the boys take the train for the
front. Among some Of the boys 1t Is ex-
pected that they will get a chance to see
some real fighting. Others do not ex-
pect it but think It will be simply case
of doing guard duty on some Of the border
towns with a possible chance Of getting
a shot at a "Greaser'' once in a while.
All seem to be eager to go and every man
in Company will be found In line when
the call to go comes. The officers have
little to say except that they are ready
when the call comes to do whatever they
are ordered.

Uncle Harry Tells Of Russian Advance on Gacian Front

Jimmy took the key from his pocket
and opened the door 20 their room.
Uncle Harry and the boys had just
visited the Bronx Zoo and the
Aquarium. and the cool restfulness
of the hotel was gratifying.
Joe had brought a newspaper up
stairs with him and now ensconced
himself comfortably in the big chair.
Hello he said. as soon as he had
opened the paper and glanced at the
headlines. General Won Hindenburg
has been put in command of all the
German armies on the east 'front.'
I'm not at all surprised replied
Uncle Harry
why do you say that Uncle
Harry" asked Jimmy.
Because Won Hindenburg has
shown himself to he one of the
ablest. if not the ablest, OF all the
German generals. The armies under
his command. you will remember,
smashed the Russian armies time
after time last year and drove them
away back into Russian territory

as surprise to shipping men. by
whom he was known as the best tow
boat man on the Delaware River. He
had been enjoying excellent health
and had Just had dinner with his wife
when he was stricken and died in
stantly. He was SO years old
Captain Taylor was born in Penns-
grove. and at an early age bcSan a
seafaring life as cook He worked his
way up until his knowledge Of the
river and coast gave him pre-eminence
ammong pilots. He was for some
years with the Peter Wright Company,
and during the last five years was
known as the commodore captain of
the Reading fleet. Mariners would
never venture into the open sea, il
was said, if Captain TAYLOR was seen
taking refuge behind the sea walls

Of him that at one time while towing
three barges to Boston the cables
snapped during q gale, scattering the
barges. Captain Taylor surmised what
the crew on each barge would do and
instead of proceeding into port, faced
around with the wind, picked up his
tow and steamed safely into Boston.

And that's the reason you think

Yes, replied Uncle Harry.
The Russian offensive assumed
momentous proportions. In Galicis,
especially, the Teuton armies gave

If VonBothmer's army might be cap

in the east might have 10 withdraw

And do you think, Uncle Harry, "

be able TO stop the Russians"
IF any one can do It. Hindenburg

Germany does not dare 10 take such

Then England and France are
actually helping the Russians against
Won Hindenburg, aren't they?"
Yes. indeed said Uncle Harry
In reality the war has become one
