Bandit Is Identified
as Escaped Convict

Williamsport, Pa, March IL
The automobile bandit who, on Au-
gust Is, 1917, wounded DR.. j. L..
Mansuy, of Ralstone, after Mrs.
Mansuy had thwarted an attempted
holdup on the highway near Marsh
Hill, this county, has been positively
identified by Mrs. Mansuy as Will
liam Harris a convict, who was
sent to the Huntingdon Reformatory
from Sullivan county for assaulting
young girl near Eaglesmere a
few days after the holdup.
The case against Harris was
worked up by Peter l.. Link, a men,
Der of the state police force, located
at Muncy, whose attention to the
Sullivan county case was drawn by
a description of the culprit printed
in a local paper.
After the bandit had wounded
Doctor Mansuy he was captured, but
shot his way out of the posse, seri-
ously wounding Constable Harry
French. Officers secured the noun
tains for days. and a number of
mounted men from Battery d, First
Pennsylvania Field Artillery, then
in waiting for orders to move to
Camp Hancock, took part in the
chase. The Identification at Hunt
ingdon was made by Mrs. Mansuy
Saturday.

French Camp Occupied by
Americans Is Sea of Mud;
Real Hardships Endured

A Port in France, March IL
When the first American troops
reached this base in June and July
of last year they were outspoken'y
delighted with the camp which lies
three or four miles from the seaport.
Most of the men had come from
long months in Texas and Mexico,
and they could not say enough about
the clean, wooden barracks and the
mild, pleasant weather.
All succeeding troops that have
disembarked here have been quar-
tered for a time at the same camp.
which between times has doubled
its capacity and acquired q number
of new features, but never a word of
praise escapes the soldiers now, for
as a wet weather and winter camp
it has developed disadvantages with
which its authorities have constantly
to wrestle.
It's very distance from town. which
at the beginning was regarded as an
advantage because it took the SOL
diers out in the country, away from
the city, and gave the men a healthy
hike, is to-day q disadvantage. All
the permanent troops at the port, in
cluding the 5000 negro stevedores,
must, morning and evening, travel
the three and a fraction miles in
motor trucks that tear up the roads
faster than they can be repaired.
/ Though loads of crushed stone are
constantly being distributed, they
mud and the ruts with which the
roads are corrugated.
The camp was originally believ-
ed to be unusually healthy because
of it's position overlooking the har-
Dor, high above the town. But the
site itself, which is on a sort of pla-
teau, is perfectly fiat and every bit
of rain that descends remains on the
plain. The weather this winter has
been peculiarly rainy, and the shacks
in which the men live have, with the
earth floors, become ever and again
seas of mud through which the men
must wade and over which the men
must sleep. And the roofs have
been found to be so faulty that rain
streams in until the inhabitants of
each shack have to set up field tents
over their hunks in order to keep
dry.
AS result the carpenter force of
the camp has been kept busy all
winter making repairs, though it
has been difficult and generally i'm.
possible to substitute wooden for
the earthen floors. When the wealth
h"S pScii tSoiS NOi1' WAlSh II HAS
been part of the time, ct has been
found that small stoves with which
the shacks were first equipped were
entirely inadequate to heat the
buildings properly.
Great strides have been made in
providing recreation and amuse-
ment for the men. The camp, which
will hold 10000 men If necessary,
now has two Y. M. C. A. "huts,"
which really are big double halls
arranged so that the men can play
basketball on one side-or give en-
tertainments on the portable stages
while on the other they have Ii
braries and writing rooms, canteens
and social rooms.
Each hut has its outdoor athle-
tic field also where baseball and
football are the rule every fine lei

are in charge of each building, op-
crate the conteens, have charge of
the motion picture shows, and in
general look after the welfare OF
the camp.
The camp authorities have rigidly
divided the camp in such manner
that all the colored soldiers who live
there permanently shall be by them
selves, with their own quarters and
even their own Y. M. c. A. building,
which is in the process of construc-
ton now.

Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1918-09-11

must confess that we got little Inn
patient, although we realized that
every time a new man was called 1t
meant that some one else had, in all
probability, been killed, wounded or
captured.
One morning an order came in for
a scout pilot and one Of my friends
was assigned. I can tell you the rest
Of us were as envious of him as If 1t
were the last chance any of us were
ever going to have to get to the front.
AS it was, however, hardly more than
three hours had elapsed before an
other wire was received at the mess
and I was ordered to follow my
friend. I afterward learned that as
soon as he arrived at the squadron he
prevailed upon the commanding Off
Ger of the squadron to wire for me.
At the Pool Pilots Mess it was the
custom Of the officers to wear shorts"
-breeches that are about eight inches
long, like the boy scouts wear, leav-
ing a space of about eight inches Of
open country between the top of the
puttees and the end Of the shorts. The
Australians wore them In SaloniA and
at the Dardanelles.
When the order came in for me, l
had these "shorts" on, and l didn't
have time to change into other clothes.
Indeed, I was in such a sweat to get
to the front that If had been in my
pajamas I think / would have gone
that way. As it was, 1t was raining
and I threw an overcoat over me,
Jumped into the machine, and we made
record time to the airdrome to which
had been ordered to report.
AS 1 alighted from the automobile
my overcoat blew open and displayed
my manly form attired in shorts" In
stead of in the regulation flying
breeches, and the sight aroused con-
siderable commotion in camp.
sMust be a Yankeel" I overheard
one officer say to another as l ap-
preached. "No one but Yankee would
have the cheek to show up that way,
you know!
But they laughed good-natureoly as
came up to them, and welcomed me
to the squadron, and l was soon very
much at home.
My squadron was one of four sta
toned at an airdrome about eighteen
miles back of the Ypres line. There
were 10 pilots in our squadron, which
was a scout squadron, scout machines
carrying but one man.
A scout, sometimes called fighting
scout. has no bomb dropping or recon
noitering to do. His duty is just to
fight, or, as the order was given to me,
.sYou are expected to pick fights and
not wait until they come to your
When bomb troopers go out over
the lines in the daytime scout squad
ron usually conveys them. The bomb
droppers fly at about twelve thousand
feet, and scouts thousand feet or SO
above them.
If at any time they should be at
tackled, it is the duty of the scouts to
dive down and carry on the light, the
+, orders of the bomb choppers being to
