RIDGE SPRING SCHOOL
FCKNISHES PLEASANT EVENING

II was my good fortune to attend
the school plays at the Ridge Spring
school in township No. I Thursday
evening May IS. That these exercises
were OF high.y entertaining char
acter goes without saying; they were
lot only elaborate, but uplifting,
evincing careful and painstaking
preparation upon the part of the
teachers, as well as studious mem
orizing a.d acting by the particl-
pants.
These plays or charades furnished
genuine amusement AMI delight to
the fine community comprising the
school district, all of which was
shared by those of US from the CIT
side. who were fortunately invited
to be present
And this leads me to remark, that
any rural district il this good coun-
ty. where the community spirit IS in
tense and loyal. could as easily con-
tribute to a like pleasure, which OF
itself avakens newaess Of life, and
a generous rivalry among the young
% pie with consequences Of value
M jr oroyeme.t that it would be
u to estimate.
1t MAY be we'll to make mention OF
the care and service of Miss jean
nette Simpson, the principal, Of Miss
Lorie Smith, assistant and teacher OF
the primary department, and also OF
Miss Mcdaniel, who has been inpart-
ing music instruction. Without D-
tending to make invidious COMPARE
son, I shall venture to say that the
Colonial Minuet was OF abouRdins
interest, and aroused within us a
lively appreciation Of the graceful
movements, and figures, which in po-
lite society are regarded essentials
to recognition and approval. And as
l watched 1 fancied there were some
George and Martha 'W'ashingtons In
erbyro, so to speak, as time and
opportunity may disclose,
The school is heartily supported
by such excellent people as the Eel
Iers, Sanders, werts. Pitts. De
Loachs, Dominicks, and others whose
names i do not recall.
At the conclusion Of the plays, Mr.
Howell Fellers, master of ceremonies,
introduced County Superintendent OF
Education Chas. P. Barre, Esq, and
Col. Elbert H. Au1l, in the order nam
ed, who spoke generally upon the
suLJec, of education, paying a just
eulogium upon patrons and teachers
alike for the splendid showing dur
ing the scholastic term just closing.
The addresses were forceful and COM
prehensive and were received with
hearty applause.
The subject of education and how
best to arouse the highest interest
and support, is always met with re-
sponsive appreciation, as so On this
occasion. 1 dare say fine impress
sion will prevail and let me add, may
it lead up to even longer school per-
iods, and enlarged school facilities
and buildings.
Not the least enjoyable to me was
the hearty welcome extended to me
and the kind hospitality of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Fellers. 1 congratulate
the school district for the inspiration
and success of the evening.

CONTINUE GREAT BATTLE
FOR WAR RACkED FERDUN
Germans and French Struggle Fierce
ly for Possession Of Renowned
Fortress.

The battle of Verdun continues un-
abated. On both sides of the Meuse
river northeast and northwest Of the
fortress, the Germans are keeping up
their unprecedented bombardments
and vicious infantry attacks while the
French are replying to the German
guns virtually shot for shot, and un-
der withering fire holding the Ger
mans at almost every point.
One more gain, however, has been
made by the Germans. After re-
capturing Fort Douaumont and TAX
ing trenches south and southwest Of
the fort, the Germans to the west
have occupied section Of French
trenches after series Of attacks, IN
all of which they were repulsed with
heavy casualties except the one where
they penetrated the French lines. !
Around Douaumont heavy artil-
lery duel is in progress and north
west of Iverdun the Germans have In
creased their artillery activity against
the Freoch on Hill 3o4, probably pre-
paratery to another infantry attack
for possession Of this much fought
for vantage point.
A German attack against the Rus
SLAMS west of Palen island gave them
momentarily the possession Of Rus
sian advanced trench, a .counterat-
tack by the Russians dislodging the
Invaders.
An. attempt by the Teusoas to ad-
vand9 against the Russians sHorsh OF
olayka s,station, southeast OF Lntsk,
was repulaed by the Russians:
IN the region southeastern Trent
and across the border in Italy, Rome
reports the renulse Of Austrian at
tacks aud the throwing back OF the
attackers in disorder. In the Asaca-
Posina region the Italians are replyV
ing effectively to the bombardment OF
the Austrians. =
In the Asigo-sugana valley district
the situation is unchanged.
Petrograd reports a junction Of
Russian troops with the British
forces in the region of Kut-el-Amara.
The Russians came from the region
of Kermanshah and Kasr-i-Shirin, in
Persia, northeast of Bagdad. This
announcement probably refers to the
force of Cossacks which was officially
reported several days ago from Lon
don to have joined the British.
In concection with the fighting near
the Persian front Constantinople re-
ports that the. Turks have stopped the
advance of the Russians in the region
of Kasr-i-Shirin and also defeated de-
tachments at Sulamanish, north OF
Kasr-i-Shirin.
Unofficial advices from Athens say
that a heavy bombardment and in
fantry actions have taken place from
Douran to Givegeli, on the Macedon-
ian front, and that entente allies have
dropped bombs on several towns il

TO COURTMARTIAL
TEXAS GUARDSMEN
Baker Points Out That Under Pres
ent Status Men Are Bound to
Respond Promptly.


Washington, May 23.-One hundred
and sixteen Texas. militiamen who
failed to respond to the call for SER
vice on the Mexican border will be-
courtmartialed byorde of President
Wilson They will be subject to fines
or Imprisonment, as the court may
direct, VITA the approval of the pres
ident.
Secretary Baker announced today
that the guardsmen would be tried
promptly under the Dick law, revers-
ing a previous decision to delay .ac-
ton in order to deal with the cases
under the new Hay-Chamberlain
army reorganization bill. The presi-
dent himself will appoint the court
martial and Maj. Gen. Funston has
been instructed to recommend its
members, a majority Of whom must
be officers Of the Texas National
Guard.
So far no steps have been taken to-
vard prosecuting New Mexico and
Arizona guardsmer who: like the Tex
ans have failed to present them
selves for muster" An additional re-
port from Gen. Funston regarding
them is awaited. s.
Baker Explains 1t.
Secretary Baker tonight issued taese
following statement, explaining the
action Of the department:
'The Dick bill provides as an Of :,
seeass the fsiiase tnDs4hSz part Of tho
;me.an,.ef 1,.a, the National -Gaafd TO- present
themselves for muster when, called
upon by the president to do So One
hundred ard sixteen members 'of tho
Texas National Guard are reported
to haze failed. 30 to present them-
selves. Under the Dick bill they
would be guilty Of failure to present
themselves for muster: :,
when the pending legislation is
approved and the militispf the States
is reorganized and faae atfzed there
under. the obligation 1of tie, enlisted
man of the National GgaFd will be to
preserve the constitutions Of the
Uaited States and their respective
States and obey the lawful orders OF
the president and the governors Of
their respective States. Thereafter
when the president issues call to
the National Gaurd the call will of its
own force muster each member OF
the National Guard iato the federal
service and it will no longer be nee
cssary for the men to present them
selves for muster.
Not Same Offense.
THE offense Denounced by the Dick
bill, therefore, will be impossible, as
it will not be required that the men
should present themselves for mus
ter. The Dick bill not being repealed
expressly remains in force. The 116
men in question have taken an oath
to preserve the Constitution Of the
United States and to obey the lawful
orders of the governor of Texas and
not having yet taken an oath to obey
the president as n-chief
must still present themselves for
muster. They are capable, therefore,
of committing the offense in the Dick
bill and are therefore liable to pun
ishment.
81 have decided to have the court
martial assembled by command Of the
president and have asked Gen. Fun
ston to recommend the members
thereof. While I shall not prescribe,
I shall be inclined to recommend that
the proceedings be abated in cases
where the men are willing to take the

TEN THOUSAND AT
NEW YORK SHOW
Sixteenth Annual Automobile
Exhibit Represents a Value
of $3,000,000

Not only Harrisburg automobile
dealers, but motor car dealers and
accessory men of almost every city
and hamlet throughout the country
are again centering. their attention on
the opening of the sixteenth annual
show in New York. This year the
exhibit will include eight days. Some
of our local people were present last
evening and most all of the others
will attend during the week.
one of the mechanical features of
the show is the presence of four
makes of car with 12-cylinder en-
gines. Last year the eight-cylinder
was the novelty. The 81 manufactur-
ers of cars represented are showing
S02 new models of cars. Accessories,
which ocupy the third and four floors
are shown by SO exhibitors. The
booths will be in charge of some 5000
car statesmen and 1850 accessory
statesmen. Three thousand dealers
have applied for tickets to be distri-
buted to prospective customers.
Only one Pennsylvania concern, the
Pullman Motor Car Company, of
York. is exhibiting car. Twenty
Pennsylvania concerns, of which 16
are Philadelphia manufacturers, are
represented among the exhibitors of
accessory parts.

Cadillac Exhibit at
New York Auto Show

In the Cadillac booth at the New
York automobile show is shown a
chassis with many portions cut away.
exposing the internal construction and
mechanical operation, feature which
the Cadillac Company, was first to in
augurate in the early days of the in
dustry and which has been a feature
in every show since that time.
This chassis is a duplicate of the
one which attracted so much atten-
ton at the Panama-Pacific Exposition
where the Cadillac was the only mo-
tor car exhibited with a V-type en-
gine.
A comparison of the present chassis
with that shown a year ago reveals
principles.
This is quite in contrast with the
usual. Almost invariably the auto
mobile manufacturer discovers after
placing Il new type of car in the
hands of the users that a number of
changes and betterments are needed.
The opposite, however, proved true
of the Cadillac Eight.
No shortcoming had been developed
throughout the year and no reason
for marked change in mechanical
construction was made manifest by
continuous everyday use in the hands
of thousands upon thousands of users.
Changes that have been made af-
feet principally the accessibility of the
engine and the appearance of the car.
The engine remains of course, the 80
degree eight cylinder V-type that the
Cadillac made familiar last year.
