Of men to dig ditch. An officer gave
him explicit instructions as to what
should be done and then asked him if
he understood the orders. The corporal
replied that he thought he did, and when
the officer asked him his former occu-
patton replied that he was a civil en-
gincer, who had had charge Of many
difficult engineering fcats. And he
was sent to dig bitches.
Anotl ct commissioned officer was
told to count the number of saddles
which had been turned into the quar-
termaster 5 office and that officer eX-
pressed some doubts as to the nou-com S
ability to perform the task. lie altered
his opinion when he found that the
uon-com was a professor OF mathe-
MATES. Here We're trained men, who
should have been receiving instructions
as officers, instead of digging bitches
and counting saddles, because they had
| been patriotic enough to respond to
| their country S call.
Most Of the equipment which was
I furnished the militia was Anticipated
and practically useless. The men could
not shoot straight because the vino
gauges and sights of their rifles were
| out Of date. The blanket rolls whicl
they carried were discarded by the reg
ular army several years ago. Many OF
the machine guns which were sent L
the border did not even have firing
pins It would have been sheer muir
der to have sent the militia troops int,
action under these conditions.
The students feel that they are jus
as patriotic as whom they departed 70
the border. but they have had their eye
opened. Before they 90 again, the,
want to know that there is some rea
need for them and even then they vii
never 90 as militia. Perhaps as volun

"Never again as militia will we re

majority of the University of Vermont
students, who as members of c com
p@ny OF the First Regiment of Infantry
Vermont National Guard, have Just
been discharged from the federal SER
vice, after serving nearly three months
at Eagle Pass, Texas. Most of them
agree that the militia system is all

The first rub came when the Yer

other states had been brought to the
border in Pullman ears, while they had
been compelled to travel in ordinary
coaches and sleep ON boards, spread be

have been preferable to this mode OF
travelling, declare some OF them. ii
there had been any real need for THEN
services and they had been put imme

POSTAL SAVINGS GROW.
Deposits for August Show Record
Breaking Gain. Under New Rules.

WASHINGTON, Sept y. = Under
the present administration deposits in
postal savings banks during the month
If August show a record breaking gain
Of almost Sj,000,000.
Ono reason for the gain is the re-
moval by congress in MAY of restric-
tions on the amount that they may be
accepted from dcpositor. Previous
to that no one could deposit more than
800 in a calendar month or have a
balance to his credit Of $500. The new
law authorizes the acceptance of any
amount up to 81 900. There are on
deposit in New York $20,073,9S6 in

GREAT WILLIAM PENN HIGHWAY
OUTGROWTH OF POSTROAD OF 1899
Was Used For Distribution Of Mails West From Harrisburg:
E. E. C. Gibbs Booster OF Route Complies History

An interesting account of the early
history of the new William Penn High
way as the original postroad from
Harrisburg to Pittsburgh has been
written by e. e. c. Gibbs, member OF
the William Penn highway committee
and the Huntingdon Chamber of Com
merce. 1t is derived from original let
ters and records of John Cadwallader,
the first postmaster of Huntingdon,
in 1897 and one of the pioneer resi-
dents OF the Juniata Valley.
The history of the postroad as ar
ranged by Mr.. Gibbs follows:
The Old PostrOad of 1893
"On the twelfth day of August,
1893, a joint agreement was signed
by John Wyeth. printer, of Harrisburg
and John Cadwallader. attorney and.
at that time, postmaster of Hunt
ingdon, with Joseph Habersham. post
master general OF the United States.
This agreement covered the trans
portation of the mails between Har-
risburg and Alexandria on the Franks
town branch of the Juniata and was
to take effect on October first, 1899.
The route was to commence at Harris
burg, then by way of Clark's Ferry,
Millerstown, ThompSontown, Mifflin-
town, Lewistown, Culbertson's Mills
and Huntingdon to Alexandria, return
ing over the same route. The com
pensation was to be at the rate of
six hundred dollars year and the
trip was to be made weekly. John
Wyeth agrees to engage a rider for
one year and procure horse to ride
with the mail on the Harrisburg and
Alexandria route, the rider to also
carry newspapers from Alexandria to
Captain NJ. Beatty's at Water Street
Gap, Judge Stewards aTill, to Will
liamsburg, thence by New Frankstown
to Hollidaysburg, returning the same
day to Alexandria. John Wyeth also
agrees, that he will print or cause to
be printed, weekly as many newspa-
pers (The Oracle of Dauphin) as will
accommodate all subscribers on the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-02-23

for horsehire, one quarter of a dol
lar per day and three shillings for the
drivers day. The Harrisburg Alex
andria route connected with one run
ming from Alexandria to Holidays
burg, to foot of Allegheny, to
Cannums on top of mountain to Shar-
ra's beyond the mountain, to Beala,
to Crawfords on Chestnut Ridge
mountain, to Bradford on Conemaugh
river, to Denniston's Town and to
Greensburg, still following the easy
grades of the now William Penn High
way.

WAR DEPARTMENT TO ADOPT
NEW SHOES FOR SOLDIERS

Our expedition into Mexico has
conclusively proved that the shoe
now used by the American soldier,
and pronounced by medical authori-
ties to be one of the most nearly
perfect models ever designed, is en-
tirely unfit for the rigorous of cam
paigning. As result the quarter
master corps has developed new
shoe which retains the lines of the
old, but embodies the good features
of those worn by French and Bel
gian fighters. Several hundred pairs
are now being tried out on the Mex
lean border, and If they prove sat
isfactory, will undoubtedly be adopt
ed for field service This will mean
that the army will return to its for
mer practice of issuing two types of
shoes to soldiers, and that the pres
ent one will be retained for garri-
son wear. The shoes worn by our
soldiers at present are lined and this
mas Deeu Jne cause OI tuelT ldlluTe.
On long marches. and especially af-
ter becoming wet. the lining wears
through quickly with the result that
bruised, sore feet have menaced Per-
shing's forces ever since they cross
ed into the sandy waists to the south.
The new shoe is unlined, of the bluch-
er type, and has the smooth surface
of the leather on the inside next the
foot. The quarter extends to the
sole, while the stiff counter is on the
outside, as is the foxins. This con-
struction is opposite to that of the
ordinary boot. The sole is of double
thickness and has 81 round-headed
hobnails, while the heel has is of
these in addition to a horseshoe
shaped steel plate. Since the unfin-
ished, or flesh side. of the leather is
turned out. the shoe is about the col
or of buckskin.-Popular Mechanics.
