CHANGE OF SCHEDULE ON
B., r. & P. RAILWAY

The summer timetable of the
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh
Ry., will go into effect Sunday,
May 20, 1917.
No trains have been taken off
and the changes on the Roches-

sions are very slight; in most
instances the time of trains
changed has been made few
minutes later.
The time of trains on the Buff
falo Division has been shorten
ed in several instances about 5
minutes owing to the improved
facilities enjoyed at Buffalo
since the Company began run
ming trains into the Lackawanna

France VII Furnish
America AerOplaneS
Domestic Machines Fail to Meet
War Department Tests.

WASHINGTON, May 49,
The United States has been fore
ed to go to France to obtain
aeroplanes for it's army. Ma
chimes of American manufac-
ture have failed completely to
meet the war department tests,
it was learned here, and, as a
result, contracts for supplying
the entire army of 100000
men will be placed abroad.
An initial order for 1,800 ma
chimes has already been placed,
it is understood, and further
contracts are to be made which
will run into the tens of thou
sands. The advisory commission
on aviation, after a close survey
of the field, has notified the war
department that France will be
able to supply all the machines
needed by the American army.
These facts became known to-
day in connection with the first
open move of the Government to
put the air service on a war foot
ing. This was the appointment
of Prof. Hiram Bingham of Yale
University as director of cadet
instruction. Prof. Bingham has
been attached to the office of
Brigadier General George O..
Squier, chief signal officer of the
army.
He will be in direct charge of
the 5000 cadets enlisted in the
special aviation corps, which
will supply the new conscriptive
army with it's "eyes."

WILSON Meets ITALY
WAR MISSION MEMBERS

WASHINGTON, May IA It
aly's minister Of transportation,
Enrico Arlotta, member of the
Italian war mission to the Unit
ed States, reached Washington
today and was presented to Sec
retary Lansing. Military and ma
val members remained in New
York and will come here later,
when the leaders of the Italian
mission reach the United States,
probably within a few days. All
will be presented to President
Wilson then.
Italian citizens of the Middle
West are arranging a reception
for the commission when it has
completed it's preliminary busi-
ness in Washington. In Chicago
a general committee has invited
the commission to visit the prin-
cipal cities of the Mississippi
Valley. All invitations will be
held at the embassy for the ar
rival of the entire commission
headed by Prince of Udine.

ANOTHER DISASTROUS
FIRE AT JOSEPHINE

Josephine was visited by an
other disastrous fire early Wed
nesday morning, when the build
ing, housing the supplies and
time-keeper's office, together
with all it's contents, were de-
stroyed by a blaze, origin of
which has not yet fully been de-
termined, altho it is presumed
that is was due to spontaneous
combustion as it started in the
oil room.
The damage, which is partly
covered with insurance, will run
about $4,000.

COAL NEAR WEST LEBA-
NON TO BE MINED BY
STRIPPING

A unique coal operation,
which is to produce 40 cars of
fuel a day without mine shaft,
slopes, entries or tipples, is to be
located in Young township, this
county.
A tract of 100 acres was
bought in the vicinity of West
Lebanon recently by Corbett &
Hickman, and is to be worked
entirely by the use of steam
shovels. The coal lies near the
surface and five big steam shov-
els will strip the surface from
the vein and then shovel the fuel
out and onto cars.
After the first strip is taken
out the ground will merely be
shifted by the shovels from
more coal and dumped into the
gulley from which the coal has
been taken out, and in this way
it is believed that the entire ac-
reage will be worked within
eight months.

TRIESTE IS RESUMED

ROME, May 16.-The spring
campaign on the Austro-Italian
front has opened with a renewal
of the Italian drive toward Tri-
este. Advances were made in the
heights, southeast of Gortiz, the
Carso plateau, in the PLAYA Sec
tor, and also on Monte Cucco,
but the Italian troops had to
withstand violent counter-at-
tacks by Austro-Hungarian fore
es.
A large number of prisoners,
some cannon and machine guns
were captured by the Italians.

HOW AMERICAN YOUTHS
ARE TO BE CONSCRIPTED

WASHINGTON, D. c., May
17.-Machinery for drafting in
to the service the first. levy of
100000 men is being worked out
by the war department.
The local electoral systems of
the townships and precincts will
be utilized for the huge task of
registering and sitting out the
exemptions.
Although the details are far
from completion, the system in
general will be as follows:
On a day designated by pro-
clamation, probably before Sept
ember /; all the men in the ma
tion between the ages to be set
in the conscription bill will be
ordered to visit the polls and
register themselves.
Upon registration they will be
given cards designating the
number of the class in which
they will be called for examin-
alton.
1t is planned to use local po-
lice facilities of the townships,
villages and cities to seek out
"slackers" who fail or refuse to
register.
Under the bill a heavy penal
ty will be imposed for failure to
register.
Then calls by classes will fol-
low. AS each class reports the
men subject to exemption und-
er the bill-munitions workers,
men with dependents, men en-
gagged in industries vital to the
military machine and other
classes, such as agricultural
workers, to. be fixed by the presi-
dent-will be weeded out.
After that the remainder will
be again sifted by physical test
and the unfit rejected. Then an
other class for examination will
be summoned and the process
repeated until all the men of the
nation, physically fit and not
subject to exemption, are deter
mined.
1t is believed the jury wheel
system to determine the first le-
Wy by lot will be used. These
men chosen from the ranks sub
ject to service will comprise the
first levy. They will then await
the order to go to the training
camps.

PATRIOTIC WHISPERS
MAY WAVE IN PARIS

PARIS, May 13.-The short
age of soap has caused the sug-
gestion that shaving be prohib-
tied.
1t is argued that, as the SOL
diers at the front wear boards
ard ,mustaches-hence the pet
name "poilu," which means "the
hairy one"-civilians need not
waste soap by shaving.

The tremendous efforts made
by Field Marshal Won linden
burg to stem the tide of victory
which was steadily setting
against him have given the bat
tie Of Arras an appearance of
ebb and flow, but the net result
is that the most violent efforts
of the Germans to regain the in
itiative have failed. Won Hin
denburg apparently used every.
ounce Of strength at his COM
mand to wrest from the British
the villages of Roeux and Bulle-
court, and the outcome is sum-

The Meddlesome Wren

John Burroughs in Harper's Magazine.
 Late one afternoon when I was busy in the garden near the end of the vine yard where there was bird-b box, I sud- denly heard the loud. emphatic note of bluebird mingled with the chiding cackle and chatter of a house-wren. saw the bluebird dive savagely at the wren and drive him into a currant bush where he would scold and sass back" and then break out in shrill, brief song. Presently female oriole came and joined the bluebird in prosecuting the wren, which answered back from its safe re- treat in the bushes with harsh chatter and snatches of tantalizing song. The bluebird took up his stand on the grape post that supported the bird box in which the wren had a nest. and from this outlook he grew eloquent in his de- nunclation of wrens. His loud rapid voice and the answering cacke of the wren attracted the attention of their bird neighbors. Four robins came, one after another, and perched on the tops of surrounding posts, silent but interested bird came, two song sparrows came, and then a male godfinch perched near by.
 The birds were evidently curious to know what all this loud altercation was about-very human in this respect.
 After the bluebird had eased his mind little about wrens he dropped down to the box, and, clinging to the entrance to the nest. looked in Instantly the wren was on his back, scolding excitedly The blueb!rd turned to seize him, but was not quick enough. and there was a brown streak, with a blue streak close behind it, to the nearest currant bush, in which the wren again chattered and sang in derison. The bluebird again resumed his perch above the nest and was louder and more emphatic than ever in his protests. It was really very amusing to see the bluebird stand up so straight there on the post, like stump orator, delivering his phillipic against the wren. His whole bearing and tone expressed indignation and an outraged sense of justice. I fancied him saying: My friends and neighbors, I want to bear witness before you of the despicable character of this ehattering skulking imupdent house-wren. He is an intolera- ble nuisance. He crosses my path daily. Every honest bird hates him. He fills up the boxes he cannot occupy with his rubbish, and assaults me if I look into them and criticize his conduct. He Is sly and meddlesome, and a disturber of the peace. He has the manners of a blackguard and the habits of thief and a despoiler. His throat and tongue are brass. and his song is as harsh as the dry twigs he makes his nest of ! ask you to join me in putting him down" His audience listened and looked on with interest, I will not say with amusement. The humor of the situation probably appealed to me alone. The birds were only anxious to find out if a possible common danger threatened them all. But to me the situation had an element of comedy in it. and made me laugh in spite of myself.

Among the many things violently dis cussed among those who made clothes, is whether this summer shall be strick- en off the calendar by manufacturers.
 In the year 1916, when all the world was fighting as it is now, there was no actual summer Blizzards in New Eng land, ice in Pennsylvania, and animals perishing from the cold in the west, were the happenings of July and August in that fatal year.
 One hundred and one years later. the apparel people insist that there is no summer in their business and 1t will go down into history as such. The war, the long delayed hot weather, the uncer- tainty in all the shops gave the manu- lecturers and dressmakers a good reason for not making up a large quantity of summer costumes
 So hot weather clothes are haphazard today. The striking feature of the sea- son Is the introduction of gingham and calico. Silk jersey has given way en- tirely to thin, woolen jersey, as the ex- ports said it would.
 Ceorgette crepe has taken the place of chiffon. Taffeta has had a recrudescence.
 Satin held it's own for evening gowns, but dropped out of first fashion for coat suits and the cotton fabrics, such as we used to consider most ordinary, went
