FRENCH CAPTAIN GETS
PROMOTED AN ACE
Remarkable Aviation Record of Cap
ton Nation in the War on Front
Had Brought Down Five Planes.


WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, May
3-Captain Nation of the French avia-
ton service, who has just been pro-
NOTED an lace" for having brought
down his fifth German machine, has
also to his credit aeroplane combats
with sausage balloons, with railway
trains and with automobile conveys.
The list of his exploits demonstrates
to some degree that extended field
operations in which the aeroplane has
come to be used by the French in the
present war Nations rise from the
grade of second lieutenant to that of
captain and his entrance into the
ranks of the faces" is one of the short
est that the war has produced.
Just eight months ago Nation was
merely a second lieutenant without an
enemy machine to his credit. His first
victory came in July %, 1916 in the
thick of the fighting at verdun. In
company with two other French avia-
tors he attacked a German lombard
ing squadron of fourteen machines.
The one which he picked out for his
victim was quickly forced to land
within the French lines near Souilly
before it could accomplish it's mission.
IL was oil dlDdAAOo VI AAAO AobtoN - PS
armed with two machine guns. The
entire crew was taken prisoners, the
pilot alone being wounded, and
the machine itself captured in such
good condition, that the French avia-
tors flew it themselves the following
day.
In November of last year. Nation
had his first combat with a moving
in enemy territory north of Montfau-
con, he sighted the German train
laden with troops and material. Des-
cending to within a couple of hundred
yards in order to get accurate aim he
raked the entire train for its full leng-
tn time and time and again with his
machine gun. The troops aboard put
up a vigorous defense with theil
rifles but Nation exhausted his ma
chine gun magazine before giving III
the fight.
In less than a month Nation brought
down his second German airplane il
a duel in which he killed the machine
gun operator of the enemy machin,
and forced the pilot to descend.
These and other exploits brough
min up to the ranks of a captain be

Methodist Educational Fund
Grows $4,000 a Day

Zero weather did not initiate
against the great Methodist drive for
the $450,000 fund to be raised in the
Central Pennsylvania district, for at
headquarters this noon it was given
out that the fund had now reached
1926, 900. and that the money is com
ing in at the rate of $4,000 a day.
Only twelve days remain for the
completion of this big task, but the
Methodist workers are not alarmed
for the result.
If there We're any disposition to let
up it could not last long since the
competition is very sharp. Here and
there communities in the conference
have already reached their goal and
the Harrisburg Methodists do not
intend to have this city left in the
ruck. Dozens of energetic men from
Stevens Memorial were busy in the
city to-day, braving the bitter wealth
er, and over the whole district,
through the country side the remote
places were being visited.
Next Sunday, termed cleaning
day." has been set aside for the final
sweeping effort to complete the sum
wanted. Every one of the $50
churches will do its utmost to toe the
mark and it is believed by next
Monday morning that the $450,000
will be in sight.

previous advices that the revolution

successful.
According to the legations mfor-

Premier Costa has been thrown
from power and DR.. Sidonio Paes,

munication with Portugal is being
re-esta blished, according to a Havas
dispatch from Dadajoz, Spain. near
the frontier. Dispatches received
there from Lisbon say the uprising
was military one, nearly the en-
tire garrison of Lisbon taking part.
Government troops attacked their
positions at Campolide, but were
defeated after forty eight hours of
fighting. The government then re-
signed and the government forces
surrendered.
The revolutionists published the
following manifesto:
The revolutionary forces COM
posed of nearly all of the Lisbon
garrison, fought during three days
from entertainments in the Park

the republic; menaced by the miser-
able government formed almost to-
tally of monarchists. The revolu-
tionists will organize cabinet COM
posed of reliable and competent
men. We affirm solemnly that we
will remain at the side of our old
ally, England, and all the other
allies, and we engage to maintain
all international obligations of the
Portuguese nation"
The Republican guard, the fiscal
guard and part of the naval forces
joined the revolutionists. The
battleship Vasco Da Cana and the
destroyer Guadiana bombarded
the positions of the revolutionists
for two DAYS without effect.

Union Trust have paid out in seven
years total of $1,700,000.
There is plenty of testimony thHt
these saving funds are by far the
most popular method of economy la
this district. At the first. something
ike forty per cent. would fall out
before the year was up. Now this
percentage has decreased. The favor
lite classes this year were the
straight" ones which permit a de-
posit of from rs cents to So. Bank
ing men do not ascribe this thrift to
the high wages but say that the pub
lie have been educated to 1t gradually.
Curiously enough the membership
records a surprising number of we'll
to-do, even rich persons. So appre-
ciative are many of the thrifty ones
that they have been coming personal

The money paid out from this sys-
TEN means big thing to the Harris
burg merchant and guarantees that
Christmas shopping will be as live

coal bills are other channels through
which the savings nut go, but the
method of saving is so secure and
convenient that the banks expect to
do a greater business next year. ,

COUNCIL IN NO
HURRY TOSETTLE
REFUSE PROBLEM
Commissioners Will Let Mat
ter Hang Over For An
other Week

No recommendation will be made
to Council tomorrow for the award
of a contract for garbage collection
and disposal when the present con-
tract expires at the end of next
month, Commissioner Morgenthaler
said to-day. The reason given for
the delay of another week is the
fact that some of the members of
Council and commissioners elect
want to visit the Wilkes Barre pig
gerry before deciding whether this
method of disposal is the best. A
trip will probably be made to that
city tomorrow and the contract
award will be postponed another
week.
Commissioner Morgenthaler has
started an estimate of the cost of
municipal ash and rubbish collection
and will in all probability submit the
figures with his part of the annual
budget. Only a little more than
six weeks remain to complete all ar
rangements and provide for munich
pal collection of ashes.
In connection with garbage dispo-
sal the American City, in the De-
cember issue just published, has an
interesting report on the various
Schroeder, of the Bureau of Soils,
Washington. While his article
is Il plea for the conservation of the
fertilizing elements in garbage, at
the same time he refers to the sue
cessful operation of piggeries in such
large cities as Worcester, Kansas
city, st. Paul and Denver. The
mayor of Worcester is quoted as say
ing, I'VE are successfully feeding
our garbage to some 1000 to 5000
hogs and in ordinary years making
it turn us profit of from 100000 to
100000 which this year will be eX-
ceeded considerably on account of
the high cost of pork"
More attention is paid, however, to
the reduction methods of disposal
because of the tankage which can
be used as fertilizer while byproducts
are received, including grease. Har-
risburg officials face the problem of
paying about $4,000 a year more
for garbage collected and disposed of
by a firm using the reduction pro-
cess, while b yfeeding it to pigs the
city can be saved that sum of
money.
Various city departments to-day
were busy completing budget esti-
mates for 1918 and these will prob
ably be acted upon in a few days.
Council may take some action to-
morrow and decide whether to con-
slider the estimates. Only routine
business is on the calendar for to-
morrow's session.

TRADING is SLOW
AT DAYS OPENING
Changes OF Unusual and Irregular Character Character
lze Early Dealings; American Tobacco Declines

New York, Dec. 1O.-wall Street.
Trading was confined to the mar
rowest limits at the dull opening of
to-day's stock market Changes was
of the usual irregular character, in
no important instance varying more
than fraction. Gains and losses
were about equally distributed. A
decline of 4 points in American To-
bacco was the only noteworthy fea-
ture. Events over the weekend
seemed to exert little influence.
Prices hardened generally before the
end of the first half hour. Liberty
bonds were steady.
The market improved later on a
moderate inquiry for steels, coppers
and shippings. Leaders of these diVi-
sions gained ! to u points. Reading
and Union Pacific also responded to
support but the general list made lit

are pouring into the city on their
way to the training camps.
Recruiting officers are trying to
make Harrisburg wage up and send
enough volunteers to make up the
draft quota. Lieutenant Lesher stated
this morning that 110 men from the
city had signed up at IL o'clock, to
list. These men will be given their
examinations to-day or tomorrow.
Five men enlisted from the force of
the Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany this morning. These men en-
listed in the aviation ground serV-
ice.
The men began to leave the city
at shortly after this afternoon, and
every train there will carry quota
of men to the training camps. it
is hoped that by midnight the men
who arrived in the city to-day will
have received their examinations and
be sent to their camps. The forces
will be at work night and day until
Thursday, to take care of the un-
usual number of men that are COM
ing at the last minute. AT least a
thousand men will come tomorrow
and the next day. The entire force
of clerks has been detailed to aid
in the examinations.
The first quota to arrive this
morning was the aviation unit OF
thirty-siX men, which was raised by
II. f. Burlington, of the P. O. s. OF
A., in Lykens. 1t was largely through
the efforts of Mr.. Burlington and his
committee of che ptter end that the
upper end of Dauphin county was
exempt from the draft by the enlist
ment of 22S volunteers. Sergeant
HieFonymous, who has raised three
aviation units in Reading of at least
ninety men each, arrives to-day with
a fourth unit containing twenty-eight
men, and Wednesday will bring an
other unit with like umber of men.
Lancaster sent a hundred men to-
day and Chambersburg will send n
like number tomorrow. Tomorrow
a special. train from Allentown will
bring $50 men. Pottsville will send
$50. Johnstown is sending 25O men
direct to their training camps.
Fifty thousand circulars have been
distributed in the city in an effort to
secure enough volunteers to fill the
draft quota. All the staff of Ser
geant Blake, publicity manager. has
been called in from the outlying
cities in the district to aid in the pub
licity drive which the officers are
staging in the last days of their
campaign.

City Property Assessed
For 1918 at S53.7O0.OOO

City Assessor James c. Thompson
to-day announced the total valua-
ton of all taxable property in the
fourteen wards of the city is $53,-
100000, or about 81, 100000 higher
than last year. This estimate will
be submitted to Council so that the
tax rate can be fixed for raising rev.
enue for next years budget.
The big increase in valuation is
due to the annexation of the Four
tcenth ward and to many big build
ing operations. Some of these are
not completed but those which were
started this year and are included
in the estimate add $623, so to the
valua ton, while the Fourteenth
ward adds about $S3O.OO0. While
city officials anticipate a tax increase
next year, it will not be possible to
determine how much this will he un-
til the budget has been finished.

considered most uncommon by the

TO u. s. ARMY
Husky Lads From Coal Mines
Eager to Get Chance
at Hun

One of the best companies OF
fighting men seen in Harrisburg since
American joined the war, alighted
at the Pennsylvania station this
morning from the upper end of Dau-
phin county, thirty-seven strong,
snapping-eyed ccal miners whose
homes are in the famous Lykens Val
ley. Farmer" whooped a big fell
low in a coonskin muffer. Not on
y'r tintpe; we're all miners from the
black diamond country, and were
goin' to fly over Germany"
A mighty roar of laughing re-
sponse shook the husky miners who
alone of the frost bitten crowd,
minded not one whit the zero blasts.
Here's the man that dug us up, all
in three days" They thrust forward
"A. G. Burlington, a rugged, tall man
vitalized with high power energy.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Buffing-
I toms feat has been duplicated any
where in The country. Only four
days ago he determined that the
upper end should be represented in
! the tremendous scheme for fighting
the Hun in the air and with the aid
of Sergt. Thomas p. Moran, Harris
burg he combed down the district at
lighting speed. Valuable assistance
was also rendered by Charles Huff,
postmaster at Lykens, and Warren
Daniels, of Elizabethville.
The roster as ii lined up this
morning at the recruiting headquart-
ers in Market Street where each
man went through physical eXamin-
alton included the following:
George Allen Row, Roy Cletus
Long, Frank Elmer Miller, David r.

All of these are to become flying

Three only will go into other serv-
ices, Dr. Barto, to the medical; Hart,
to the cavalary, and Flynn, to the
h, Wy artillery.
This is the first complete volun-
teer party to leave the upper end,
from which section 2S7 men have al
ready been taken for war duty. More
than dozen of them are married
anC some are leaving a wife and
three or four children. Their loyal, =,
instantaneous tesponse to the call
from Mr.. Burlington startled even
the Lykens Valley, where patriotism
is so keen that a pro-German squak-
err gets short shrift. And the cam
paign is only started, for the men
to-day said that within a week an
other company perhaps of the same
dimensions would be ready to go out
and help Uncle Sam fight for demo-
cracy.
