President Starts ToFranCe.
Sailed From New York We'd
nesday to Attend Conference.

President Wilson began bis trip
yesterday to Europe to attend the
great Peace Conference. He and his
party will board the transport George
Washington, on which the voyage
across the Atlantic will be made.
About seven days will be required
for the trip across, and the ship will
dock at French port, presumably
Brest.
The President does not expect to be
abroad for more than six weeks, which
would give him just month on Eu-
ropean soil. Before the Peace Con-
ference meets he will confer with Pre-
miers Lloyd George of Great Britain,
Clemenceau of France and Orlando of
Italy, and probably King Albert of
Belgium, to discuss the salient points
of the peace treaty.
While in Europe Mr.. Wilson plans
to visit England and Italy as well as
France, and he may 60 to Brussels.
He also is understood to intend to
make a pilgrimage to some of the bat
tlcfields in France. Great prepara-
tions have been made in London, and
Rome for the Presidents reception.
Joseph P. Tumulty, the Presidents
secretary accompanies Mr.. Wilson
to New York but will not go abroad.
He will return to Washington to con-
duct the business of the White House
and will be the eyes and ears of the
President in this country. Mr.. Tu-
multy will be in frequent communi-
cation with the President by cable
and will keep him fully advised of
events at home.
President Wilson did not 60 to the
Union Station until short while be-
fore the time for his train to depart.
AS he and Mrs. Wilson entered the
station the crowd there cheered and
soldiers and sailors who were waiting
for trains formed human lane thro-
ugh which the President and Mrs.
Wilson walked to the train shed.
When some of the crowd wished |
the President good luck" and a
pleasant voyage Mr.. Wilson smiling
ly called back thank you"

Aged Farmer Killed By His
Own Team.
Misstep Made by d. A. Hartman
Throws Him Under Wagon.

Tripping over guard rail in the bridge
and thrown under his own team, Daniel
A. Hartman near Emmitsburg was al
most instantly killed on Saturday morn
ing about o'clock when the heavy wag-
on passed over his body.
Hartman, who was about 7s years of
age was on the way to the field with his
son to get load of fodder. AS they
came out from the farm the four horses
hitched to the team made quick turn
toward the covered bridge over Toms
Creek. The aged man that was near
them trpped over the guard rail on the
bridge and fell on it. The wheels OH one
side of the wagon were also on the guard
rail and passed over the upper part of
the stomach. The son stopped the team
as quickly as possible and hurried to his
fathers side, who gasped his last just
as he reached him.
DR.. j. B. Brawner of Emmtsburgwa
called but the man had died before he
arrived The body was removed to the
home.
The Hartmans reside on farm near
Emmitsburg on what is known as Ham
ton Valley road. Mr.. Hartman was par
ticularly fond of his horses.
He is survived by three sons and four
daughters: VIM. Hartman, Baltimore;
H. Hartman, Pittsburg; Russell Hartman
at home; Mrs. Flora Wienssale, Florida;
Mrs. Grace Johnson, Pittsburg; Mrs.
Effie Brown, Biglerville, Pa, and Miss

Skeert At Boche Bombs.
Private Black Writes OF En-
perienceS In France.
Dear Mother;

Dear Mother;
This is the first pretty Sunday we
have had for some time. We worked
this morning and this afternoon we had
inspection. Had little excitement and
experience since the last writing. The
other night Fritz paid US visit. The
moon was shining bright, and some of
the boys were playing cards others sit
ting around telling tales. Suddenly a
guard called US all out. There was moth
ing to see and only faint hum of Hun
motor to be heard. The noise grew loud
er and louder, and soon he was close to
us. 1t was real funny for time to see
some of the fellows running around in
their underclothes, some barefooted, 9TH
ers with helmits and gas masks adjusted.
Everybody was going in different di-
rection, and some got tangled up in barb
ed wire. Some were too excited to run.
Several of US were standing together and
all of sudden they started to drop their
bombs and were coming IN straight
line for US. When he dropped the third
knew the next would be close to us, and
we broke all footrace records then and
there, being the winner. The Hun was
was not as close to US as we thought, but
close enough to give US all good scare.
Nobody was hurt. Several nights later
he paid US another visit, but we did not
scare so bad this time. 1t certainly was
great experience and we had lots of
fun, though scared. All we wish for
now is sunny days and cloudy nights.
| received the papers you sent me and
a letter dated August Goth. Had to laugh
at some of the letters the boys write
home.
Whatever you write, don't write about
having chicken for supper, as am liable
to go out and commit murder when |
read such things.
Have not seen anyone l know as yet.
Hoping that you are all we'll, will close
for this time. Yours,
Willis Black,

"Should have their lungs carefully eX'
amincd by n competent physician. In

Danger Signs.
The Surgeon General warned eSpe-

such as decline and "colds which

These, he expla incd, were often the
beginning of tuberculosis. "lf you do

The word sentimental is often used
IN friendly fashion,. When somebody
says II guess I'm sentimental old
fool" he is not reproachlng himself.
But the word has no kindly connotation
10 us, and of all forms of dramatic en-
attainment the one which we most
heartily detest is the sentimental plav.
A kindly human quality IN a play is
pleasant thing, but sentimentality is
sentiment with all the brakes broken.
It is not an admirable thing or kindly
thing. The Germans, for instance. are
the most sentimental people on earth,
and it Is that very quality which car
ried them to Belgian excuses. The
Kaiser was not playing part when he
wept over the violets. He was merely
living up to German tradition. When
a person begins to accept the validity
Of emotional judgments he will 90
stark mad in his RACES.
Of course. the sentimentalist is at
his worst when he beams. His wav is
not that of the hard hearted man sug.
gested in Luke. Asked for bread. he
will not furnish stone, but an annie
tart, and he meets the request for fish
