HELMETS ON GRAVES
SHOW THE NATIONALITY

With the American Army in France,
(by mail).-By their helmets you shall
know their graves.
It's the cast yer the battlefield tina
stretches north from the Marine over
rolling hills covered with grain fields
and woods.
AS the German forces retired they
left many dead behind. American
troops followil G buried these Germans
where they fell at the first opportunity.
Usually the graves are marked with
nothing but a German helmet on the
fresh mound OF earth.
Sometimes a-stick is erected, or a
cross. depending on the intensity of
artillery fire In tho region, and the
time at the disposal Of the "moppers-
up." Sometimes the German helmet is
on top Of the cross. Once on the grave
the helmets are untouched.
The American dead werc buried in
groups farther Jack when possible.
Sometimes this couldn't be done. Then
a silent group Of doughboys buried
their fallen by the roadside.
These, too, are recognized by the
helmets on he fresh earth mounds
with crosses at the head, and usually a
bottle stuck in the earth into which
data regarding the fallen fighter was
hastily scrubbed n placed by his
comrades. Some day it can be saith

SHOP EARLY.

Do your Christmas shopping early is
more than ever wise advice and, at
this time. advice which must be fol-
lowed in order not to interfere with the
governments war program. The Coun-
Gil Of National Defense. In a special
bulletin to women, who do a large
share Of the Christmas buying, urges
that as much Christmas shopping as
possible be done In October and COM
pleted by November Is. Other sug-
gestions are:
That the articles purchased be
chosen with reference to the actual
needs Of the individuals for whom they
are intended. The only exceptions to
this should be in the case Of toys for
little children.
That for gifts which must be sent by
mail. express, or freight, small, light
articles are to be chosen.
That purchasers carry home small
packages and do not . for frequent
or special deliveries.
That wherever possible gifts be de-
livered in person rather than by mall
or express.
That all packages. cards, etc, which
must be sent by mail or Express be
started by December S at latest.

to see that the dealers keep their
agreement not to hire extra help or

ONE AMERICAN (?) TOWN
BUYS NO LIBERTY BONDS

Iancaster--This county Of plain
sects and conscientious DIRECTORS In
cludes probably the only haQiet In the
country where a Liberty bond has not
been sold nor a War Savings stamr
disposed Of.
Five miles east Of New Holland there
rises a bushy, scrubby hill, known as
the Welsh mountain because Of its
settlers and now inhabited by about
90 families Of negroes.
1t was there that Abe Buzzard and
his cohorts took refuge when state of
ficers year g attempted to round
up the notorious horse thieves that
were rowing eastern Pennsylvania.
Crude stone monuments still stand as
markers Of spots where battles with
the constables were fought.
The negroes are now under spiritual
care OF a Mennonite minister, and a
small mission has been established
atop the mountain. But booze and
congenial tend encies still combine to
create lawlessness, and state consta-
bles periodically are called to main
tain order.
Dugouts in the side Of the mountain,
made by the horse thieves when first
they sought refuge among the under
brush Of the hillsides are still used as
dwellings by the negroes of the pres
ent day. The only regular income the
villagers have Is the money paid them
at the mission for broom making and
learned by many Of the inhabitants
while they were doing time"
They haven't given anything to help
financ the war.
Nobody ever thought 1t worth while
to call upon them for a subscription.

sAReEs ON DRAINAGE CANAL.
From the Chicago Tribune.

from inc SulSdBo lIlDullc.
In years to come September 81 may
be celebrated as an epoch making day
in C%hicago's maritime history, for or.
that day the first fleet Of barges, I'M
der their " power, set out fof their
maiden journey from Chicago down
the drainage canal.
The fleet consisted OF n steam
barge and two others in tow, loaded
with about three hundred barrels OF
salt and a large quantity OF rock salt,
consigned to La Sale, Ill. At La Sale
the fleet takes on a cargo of coal To
bring back to Chicago.
II was something OF an occasion. for
IL was the fruition OF Is years of
earnest endeayor by q lumber Of
forces which are convinced that the
greater expansion Of the nations COM
merce lies through the building and
use of waterways.
The start was a with consider
able caution. For instance, the motive
barge and the second one carried the
cargo. The tail end barge Of the train
ran empty. 1t was for this reason
the inland waters to be traversed are
uncharted. There might be hidden
reefs and 1t was planned, IL the loaded
boats went aground. to have an
empty" handy to lighter to.

MOVABLE MOVIES ARE
NEAR THE FRONT NOV

At the Italian Front.-(by mail.)-
One Of the problems with which the
American Red Cross has dealt in the
zone OF war is the question Of amuse-
ment Cor the soldiers who are sacri-
ficing their lives for the cause Of CIV
iliZation.
The men who are sustaining and
advancing the lines not only deserve
recreation, but they absolutely re-
quire it in order to bear the nerve
strain of their grim task. This relaxa-
ton is furnished by rest houses, can
teens where American coffee and
American jam are served, even in the
near vicinity of the front lines. But
a more recent innovation under she'll
fire is the moving picture show. This
idea is fast becoming q reality through
establishment of portable cinema ma
chimes, which a be carried around
from one to another of the American
Red Cross front line canteens on an
automobile especially fitted for the
purpose, giving entertainments at each
stop. These cinematograph outfits will
be placed on Ford chassis and COM
pletely equipped for their purpose.
The plan is still a new one, which
Is being perfected by the military af-
fairs department of the A. r. G.. One
equipment OF this sort has already
been purchased consisting of an Aster
meter, a moving picture machine and
supplementary material. Other outfits
will follow. Films have been promised
from various sources, and it is hoped
to establish a regular supply Of pic
lures. Perhaps there will not be a
Broadway standard Of perfection in
these dugout movies. but ii will be as
near it as the workers can make It.
There is one American Rec Cross
lieutenant in charge Of q rolling can
I. teen at the Italian front who has al
ready forestalled the plan for a por-
table moving picture exhibition by es-
tablishing his wi private show at his
front line rest house. Lieutenant
, Waterbury has found n comparatively
sheltered corner near his canteen,
where he has installed a moving pic
ture machine, temporarily loaned to
him by the Italian military authorities.
The constant guns and the occasional
| bursting of shells from a realistic
orchestral accompaniment to the show.
1t is very popular with the Italian
soldiers during their short hours Of
release from trench and battery SER
vice.

WHERE THE AMERICAN
RED CROSS MONEY WENT

Paris, Cby mail).-Th vast and
varied activities OF the American Red
Cross in relieving suffering in the wal
zone Is outlined In the latest report OF
the civil affairs department of the
organization.
During the month OF June the de-
partnent rendered aid to 412,563 civil
fans, exclusive Of the work among al
lied soldiers. OF this huge army, 226,
638 were refugees from the war strick-
en- regions. In the early days Of the
German offensive thousands of refu-
gees passed through Paris daily. most
OF them practically destitute and suf-
fcring from exposure and hardships
of the hurried flight. American Red
Cross emergency committees met them
at the stations and supplied aid. A
large percentage of the refugees SO
assisted were children.
I The supplies distributed by all the
bureaus during the month include 1885,
710 garments, 56,647 pairs of shoes, H.
222 articles of furniture, GO, 07S articles
OF bedding and household linen. $685.

equipment and supplies.
, Some OF the other activities in sue
coring the war stricken include II
civilian hospitals with 1,69S beds, also
q new hospital for soldiers who have
lost limbs. Three refugee homes are
housing 1900 homeless children from
the invaded territory. In Paris alone
80, 900 school children are procuring
supplementary food for noontime

BASEBALL FOR FRENCH.

Systematic training OF men to play

BASEBALL MAGNATES
FACE KNOTTY PROBLEMS

New York.-Major league baseball
magnates face n knotty problem at the
coming annual meetings when they
Will be called upon to decide the status
or the player at present under con-
tract or reserve. Very few Of the club
owners hold the opinion, apparently,
that it will be possible to resume
league operations next spring. II such
proves to be the case and there are
few indications to the contrary, II
would appear that the majority of
players who figured in the 1918 PEN
nant races will not receive contracts
during the early months of next year.
According to the present system it
is mandatory upon the clubs to renew
their options or reserve clause upon
players not later h q January 1 each
year and to follow this action by mail
ing contracts to the players not later
than February 1. 1t is extremely
doubtful if this procedure will be fol-
lowed in 1919. Under the ordinary
ruling a player who did not receive
his contract by March /. would become
a free agent and upon the resumption
OF big league baseball would be in a
position to sell his services to he
highest bidder.
1t is understood, however, that the
magnates will hold that the business
of baseball was suspended under In
structions from the government and
that since the right to operate was be-
You'd their control all contracts and
other legal phases are suspended auto
matically. Unde this construction the
contract Of the player carries over un-
til such time as the government gives
consent for a renewal OF the business
OF baseball. Thus If the professional
leagues do not resume until 1920, the
year OF 1919 would be considered as
~noneXistent in so far as 1T might af-
feet a players contract.
There Is still another angle to the
proposition which involves the mag
mates and the two major leagues as in
dividuals and cooperating business or
ganiZations. 1t might be held to- be
within their rights to refuse to nego-
tiate with or for the services of q
player who, previously to the suspen-'
sion of the game, was the property of
another club. IL such action were gen.
orally adopted the player would be
obliged to report back to his original
club for a renewal Of his contract or a
release, IL he desired to reenter play in
either OF the big leagues.
