OLD GLORY WAVES
1000 FEET HIGH
Patriotic Citizen of Dauphin
Places Flag on Tip of Kitta-
tinny Mountain

Dauphin, Pa, April 6. - Fried
with patriotic spirit and enthusiasm,
one of Dauphin's prominent citizens,
William Bell Gross, climbed to the
top of Kittatinny Mountain yesterday
afternoon, in spite of the cold weather,
and in the midst of the flurries of
snowfiakes, unrolled the American
flag and placed it on the very top of
the mountain. All last night during
the storm the stars and stripes waved
in triumph, and now the emblem re-
mains there where all can see - a fit
ting display of the patriotic loyalty of
Dauphin, the town over which it
stands guard. Now "Old Glory"
waves on the heights of Kittatinny,
1000 feet above the sea.

April 16. This Is almost double
their losses before Verdun during
the similar period OF 1915, when
severe fighting was going on there.
The character OF the fighting on
the Chemls-des-Damc is totally dif-
ferent from that at verdun. At Yer
dun IL was always possible to retire
without great disadvantage for
certain distance---which may be call
ed manoeuvreing area-owing to the
nature of the ground with Its sue
cessive ranges of hills and interven-
ing valleys. On the Chemis-des-
Danes II has been necessary to hold
on, for should either side retire for
more than few feet the other side
gained the advantage of the observa-
tories. permitting close watch over
all that went on In. the adversary's
lines. There are here no Definite
lines OF trenches, no fields OF barbed
wire and no shelters, and the two
adversaries are always open to sud
den inroads and have to fight hand
to hand to hold their positions.
The crest on which the Chemis-
des- Danes runs Is like knifeblade
at many parts, over the edge OF
which the enemy may not be allow
ed to peep. TIL now the French
have always been able to retain their
outlook over the edge and, full OF
confidence In themselves, they in
f, tend to keep It until the time comes
for a further advance.
