Wrecked Car Stolen Car.
Recovered Sunday Evening By
Owner And Sheriff From York.

| owner Anu Snoflu Il fOlH 1Uih'
Over at Hanover, Pa. last Thursday
night the large six cylinder Buick tour
ing car belonging to Mr.. Paul Winebren-
ner, a prominent banker and citizen of
that place was stolen from his garage.
1t is stated that the door on the garage
was locked and also the wheels on the
car, but locks were broken and chains
cut and the car gotten away without de-
lection.
| Last Friday morning one Of three cars
going over the State Road from Thur
mont to Frederick, and hitting the road
at high speed, failed to make the curve
just north of Lewistown, and sideswiped
big telephone pole along the road. 1t
is stated that the other cars stopped long
enough to pick up the occupants of the
car. one of whom was seriously injured,
and then continued their journey to Fred
erick where the injured man was left at
the City Hospital.
The wrecked car was left standing at
the pole until Sunday evening. During
the while it was thought strange that the
men in the car should go away and leave
it so long on the road
Naturally Mr.. Winebrenner and the
State officials at Hanover and York got
busy to find the car and locate the thief.
During Sunday afternoon the Chief of
Police of Waynesboro, telephoned to JUS
tice Cadow of Thurmont about stolen
cars and requested that he learn the
number of the license tag on the wreck
ed car and inform him. This was done.
About eight O'Clock that evening Mr..
Winebrenner, the Sheriff from York and
officials from Hanover and Waynesboro,
and two machnists with truck load of
tools rolled into Thurmont. Taking with
them deputy Lidie and constable We'd
die, the party went to where the wreck
occurred, Mr.. Winebrenner identifying
the car as his property.
The car, while badly used up, was able
to run under its own power and soon the
car was on the road ready to start for
Hanover.
While the party was on the road look
ing the car over, an auto came along and
struck one of the Hanover men. He was
knocked down but luckily. not injured to
any extent.
The man now in the hospital is said to
be one of four in the car, and gives his
name as George Brown, SO years old, and
from Philadelphia. He is suffering with
fractured shoulder and leg broken at
two places. 1t is said that he was plac-
ed under arrest Monday, and will be held
for trial if he RECEIVERS. The other men
and cars are now being sought for by the
Pennsylvania officials. 1t Is thought per-
haps the other cars were stolen also,
number of thiefts having occurred re-
Gently in southern Pennsylvania cities.
Every autoist should be exceedingly
careful and not allow their car to gain a
high speed going down the hill to this
curve. The turn is somewhat hazardous
in big car going at 80 miles. Small
cars at that rate would almost be cer-
tain to go into the pole or somewhere
in the field.

Water Mystifies People.
w. Main Street Cellars Always
Full of Water.

For the past year number of cellars
on w. Main street have been filled with
water from depths up to four feet. Form
erly such had not been the case, said
cellars always being in condition to use.
Owners of these properties came to
the conclusion that the water was COM
ing from leak in the water main and
at last an agreement was made with the
Water Company and much of the main
uncovered. Nothing was found to indi-
cate that the main was leaking. Auto
matte cellar pumps were installed, but
these were unable to cope with the water.
AS last resort the owners of these pro-
perties have started to put in sewer to
carry off the water. Where the water
is coming from is mystery to all per-
SONS along the street and in town.

FAMINE KILLS
TWO-THlRDS OF
PALESTINE JEWS

Amsterdam, Dec. 6.--The latest
evacuations from Palestine are termed
a complete success by the Oester-
richische Wochenschrift of Vienna, a
copy OF which has been received here.
The newspaper says they surpass ev-
erything that hitherto has been ex-
perienced in that country. 1t adds
that according to the Jewish Press
agency in The Hague the number Of
Jews in Palestine lad been reduced
to one-third by hunger and sickness.
1t appears that the Austro-Hun-
garian foreign ministry repeatedly
has been asked lately whether the
Jewish people in Jerusalem, number
ing $4,000 souls, had been evacuated.
The ministry, it is said, vainly at
tempted to obtain official information,
but notified inquircrs afterward that
1t was believed to be true that the
populace had been evacuated.
A dispatch from The Hague says
the Turkish legation there has made
the following announcement:
1--WE understand the Ottoman au-
thorities in the Palestine war theater
have taken all measures which are in
the interest of the civilian population,
without regard to race or religion

"The torpedoing OF hospital ships"
is the reply of Field Marshal Lord
French of Great Britain.
"The declaration of war ITSELF" says
Stephen Pichon. French minister OF
foreign affairs. "Among so many
ignominies that have been perpetrated
since" he adds, Il renounce making
a choice"
THE great crime of Rheims, the
abominable destruction of the ca

most my heart of Frenchman and
artist, but can one establish hier-
archy of crimes of the barbarians?"
replied Auguste Rodin, the sculptor.
THE murder of sailors whose ves-
sells had been torpedoed is the most
atrocious act committed during the
war" in the opinion of Sir w. H.
Dunn, formerly lord mayor Of Lon
don.
Politically the greatest crime conf
niitted during the war is the violation
of the neutrality of Belgium by those
who had sworn to defend it." says

al of the Catholic institute of Paris.
Morally, one is embarrassed to
choose among so many atrocities. .
