PASS RESOLUTIONS
ON PROF. WAcHTE:i
Red Cross DepIoreS Death of
Well Known Town Man.

The Martinsburg Chapter, A. R. c.
desires to place on record its deep
sense of loss in the death of Prof.
M. L. Wachtel. Amid his many dut-
les as Principal of the High School,
and his work at home, in his church,
in the Y. NJ. C. A., and elsewhere
he found time to be chairman of
the Junior Red Cross of Berkeley
county, and discharged the duties
of that position well and conscien-
tiously. The reports of the work ac-
complished in the short period of
the existence of the Junior Red
Cross bear witness to his zeal in
promoting the work both in town
and county. His death is distinct
loss to this community in many
ways, but it is felt nowhere more
keenly than in the Martinsburg
Chapter A. r. c. The willingness and
the eheerfulness with which he per.
formed the tasks devolving upon him.
as well as the efficient manner in
which the We vas carried out,
were particu1 noticeable. Mr.
Wachtel was wed with many
noble qualities of mind and heart,
but faithfu1ness. fairness, sincerely
and strong sense OF duty FREEDOM
mated In his life and in his ideals
he set the standard high-truly he
hitched "his wagon to star" His
great aim in life was to raise the
youth to higher standard of living
and in this. b led the way.

FERRY ACROSS THE CHANNEL
Freight Cara Are Carried for the First

For the first time In the history Of
railroading a train ferry has crossed
the English channel from Newhaven,

les Magazine. Since early in the war
thousands of British railway cars have
been employed In France in transport

all been transferred to the continent
by freighters. The Inauguration Of

cultles created by very pronounced
tides have been overcome at last to
the mutual advantage of these two al
lies. At Dieppe the water level varies
as much as 81 feet. To overcome this.
