enough and was nearly the first 10 be
registered in Company c. at Column
bia. In his native town he was a
hero and the most popular youth in
town. He is but 20 years old. His
parents received only the brief word
from the War Department.: 'Seri-
ously wounded"
Gets Promotion
In contrast to these gloomy mes
sages comes enc telling of the pro-
motion of a Harrisburg boy, Private
Daniel Wills, of the 124th L. S. In
fantry, Machine Gun Battalion at
Camp Wheeler, Georgia. Private
Wills has just been raised to rank of
lieutenant, an instructor in the use
of gas masks. He is about to be
transferred 10 New York city on this
mission, instructing the soldiers be-
fore embarking. Wills started Eis
Army career in 1911.
Another cheering message came
to Mr.. and Mrs. \. Snyder, S3S South
Cameron street, telling of the safe
arrival of their son, Charles A. Sny-
der, who is identified with the 18Th
Field Artillery. Private Snyder left
here with the boys on June l for
Columbus barracks, and was trans
ferred from there to Camp Jackson,
S. c., from there to Camp Merritt,
y. j., and thence over there"
Another lad from Harrisburg, Otto
Zettler, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Rein

street, who also left here June /.
sends word to his parents that he ar
rived o. X. in England and is now
in France. Otto had his training at
Camp Jackson.
Two Service Stars
Two service stars glitter at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. l.. Daugh-
erty at 1925 North Fourth street, this
city. One is for Sergeant ]. S.
Daugherty, Field Hospital, Company
81, stationed in the very thick of hos
tilities in France: the other is for a
younger brother, Private r. E.
Daugherty, engineer in NJ. P, Com
pany d, at Fort Benjamin Harrison,
Indiana They enlisted June 20,
1917.
News from this same camp tells of
Arden c. Kochenderfer, 331 Locust
street, Steelton, who is serving as op-
Grating engineer in Company B. 5th
NJ. P. Battalion. He is the son of
John 3. Kochenderfer, of the same
address, and in his recent letters
speaks of the splendid treatment the
soldiers receive in this camp and how
all hands have come to be fond of
Army life.
The family of Joseph E. Kaberle
in Mechanicsburg have had word
that he has safely arrived in France
along with the rest of the first class
musicians in the 6Sth Regimental
Band. He enlisted at Harrisburg,
March, 1917, after which he was sent
to Fort H. G. Wright, then to For,
Terry and thence abroad. He was
employed at the Pipe and Pipe Bend
ing Works.
After a very brief furlough at his
home in New Cum berland, Lieuten-
ant J. H. Il. Seitz has returned to
Camp Perry, Ohio. Previous to join
ing the colors the lieutenant was en-
ployed by the Pennsylvania railroad.

time become unapproachable, as the
interior was seething with flames,
which had crept to the top OF the
house between the partitions. A lad
der was raised to the third floor
front and one fireman entered the
house. Confused by the smoke they
were unable to get the body from
the room. 1t is not even known
If they located the right room, as
the door was locked and in the
smoke it could have been mistaken
easily for q closet
When the flames had been placed
under control, ladder was raised TO
the third floor and the room entered.
Mrs. Lockhart was found throw II
over a chair, with her head bowed in
her arms. Her burns were of a mi
nor nature, death having been caus-
ed by suffocation. There were finger
scratches on her face as though the
unfortunate woman in her agony
had become frantic in her efforts TO
escape from the smoke trap.
The fire is known to have started
from a laundry stove in the base
ment. 1t is thought the maid left
the draft on when she went to bed.
MIR. Whitman declared he did not
know of any substance which the
stove could have ignited, but it as
thought it must have been the base
ment ceiling. The fire crept unde-
tected up the back stairs. and was
not discovered until the entire back
OF the house, including the three
floors, was flaming. 1t was the fact
that the flames had spread far be-
fore they were discovered that made
the escape of the family almost
miraculous.
Home Is n Wreck
While the back of the house was
all that burned, the front was con-
slderably damaged by smoke and
water. The flames were not spec
tacular; firemen managed to keep
them down. The floors in the rear
fell in, but the walls remain stand
ing. The fire was hard to fight, ow-
ing to the fact that as soon as it was
subdued in one place, it broke out
anek in another. 1t was necessary
to summon the firemen back to their
task after they had considered the
fire eXtinguisbed.
Mr.. Whitman was unable to esti-
mate the amount of the damage to-
day. 1t is thought the loss will ex-
ceed $4,000. Nothing was saved
from the house last night, but it is
thought that much might be salvag-
ed from the front when the premises
are gone over and the goods have

July, 1917, and was then very eager
to get across to fight for the great
cause.
Missing
Another home in Marietta greatly
distressed these days is that of Mrs.
Harry Dunlile who has not been able
to learn the present Whereabouts or
condition of her son, Harry Knox.
He left last February for Camp
Meade and was later assigned TO
Company NJ. 109th L. S. Infantry,
2Sth Division. He landed overseas
some months ago and as all who
read the news know by this time his
unit played an important part in the
recent great drive. Whether he is
in a German prison particularly
exercises his family, who have heard
not a word since the youth landed
until the other day when he was re-
ported in the list of casualties, as
prisoner.

Wilson Feels His Place
Is at Capital in Was

Washington, Sept. 10.-President
Wilson, in announcing yesterday that
he had abandoned definitely plans for
trans-continental tour for the
fourth Liberty Loan, said he was
convinced that it was not right for
him to be absent from Washington
for more than day or two at the
tipe while the war continues.
The President said he keenly felt
the privation of being confined to
the capital, but that it was impos-
sible for him to deal with important
war questions by telegraph or at II
distance from sources of information
which exist only here.

Several Intellectual attempts were

next door to the Whitman home. Mrs.
Harris, mother of the three men,
phoned an alarm, while her sister
ran to the box at Second and Ma
clay streets and turned in the alarm.
The alarm was turned in at 2.57,
and the fire was not eXtinguished
until o'clock. After it had Leen
considered eXtinguished flames broke
out again and the fire apparatus was
summoned to renew their efforts.
Bystanders as we'll as the Whitman
family agree that the Witmans
would have perished but for the
timely aid of the Harris brothers.
Leo and Frank live at 2115 North

Ralph, who lives at Carlisle. was
