that place soon reached his ears. To
man of his character with too much
spirit to follow bad example when he
had the power to set a good one, and
too much wit to look for happiness
anywhere but in his own bosom, it
could not long be questionable what
part he had to act.
"a market cart was instantly con-
structed and regularly three times a
week sent off to Belle Haven filled
with nice roasters, kidney-covered
lamb and veal green geese, fat ducks
and gObblers, chickens by the basket,
fresh butter, new-laid eggs, vegetables
and fruit of all sorts. Country gen.
tlemen dining with their friends in
town very soon remarked the welcome
change in diet. Bless us all = exclaim-
ed they, what's the meaning of
this? You invite us to family fare
and here you have given us a lord
mayors feast Yea replied the 9th
ers, thank God for sending a Colonel
Washington into our neighborhood.'
"The cat was thus let out of the
bag, to the extreme modification of
the Little Great ones,' that Colonel
Washington should ever have run a
market cart"
Famous Carlyle House.
The market where Washington sent
his farm products lay right in the
heart of Alexandria and upon square
about which stood some of the towns
most noted residences and landmarks.
Among these was the Carlyle house,
and despite the passage of time and
the physical changes wrought in that
quaint Virginia city, this historic home
survives intact today. The Carlyle
house is intimately identified with
Washington's career and particularly
with the very beginning of his mill
tary calling.
AS the story goes, the bricks for the
building were imported and so, too, the
stone of which it was built in 1872.
John S. Carlyle utilized for part
of the foundation portion of
an old fort, which many years earlier
had stood guard against the Indians
for the protection of English traders
on Hunting Greek, as the place was
then known. The barracks of that ad
vance post of civilization became the
cellar of the Carlyle house, and there
in it's cool shadows was stored the
mellow wine that tickled the palates
of those days. From the heavy beams
overhead hung pendant the luscious
hams for which Virginia is still noted.
Another part of the old fort supports
the plaza at the rear of the house upon
which the main hallway ends. 1t was
there. of summer evenings, that the
Carlyles and their guests gathered, and

Foch's Reserves Not in
Battle; Teutons Fail
to Lure French General

Washington, June /. - President
Wilson and Secretary Baker held a
lengthy conference yesterday as the
news arrived indicating that the Ger
mans are at last thrusting straight
at Paris. This turn of events is rec
ognized throughout Washington as
the development of the crisis of the
present battle.
Officials who knew what went on
between the President and Secretary
Baker asserted last night that they
regard the situation as grave. But
they see no reason for panic.
This attitude was borne out by
views of the battle obtained in AL
lied military quarters.
1t is learned authoritatively for in
stance that up to 8 o'clock yester-
day morning, General Foch had not
thrown in his Reserves. The German
menace to the Marne had not drawn
him. Last night, as the main Ger
man thrust swung to the southwest
ward and broadened, Foch's wisdom
was generally recognized.

BUILD RAILROAD
in RECORD TIME
Complete Southern Line in
Thirty-two Days; Much
Grading Necessary

Teamwork by loyal organization
in which each man knew what was
expected of him and did his part to
the best of his ability. was the most
important factor in the construction
of seven and one-tenth miles of
railroad IN thirty-two days. This
record was made by the construction
forces of the Nashville. Chattanooga
& st. Louis and the Mason and
Hanger Contracting Company to
provide rail communication for the
Old Hickory powder plant now un-
der construction in Hadley's bend of
the Cumberland river, twelve miles
from Nashville. Tenn.
The railroads permanent force,
which was gathered from other
work in progress on that road, was
enlarged many times by men picked
UP by the railroad and by the con-
tractor wherever they could be
found, but the success of this feat
depended not only on the effective
ness in which the rapidly built or
ganization was directed, but also on
the rapidity with which materials
and equipment were collected from
various parts of the system and de-
spatched to the scene of activity.
What Delays Cost
The Government representatives
estimated that a days delay in the
completion of the line represented
a loss of $4,000. AS a result, speed
in construction progress over-bal-
anced any other consideration. For
this reason some of the methods
resorted to in pushing the work to
the utmost would be considered
wasteful under almost any other
conditions. Although the burden of
pushing the work through was
largely on the railroad, the work
was more or less divided between
the road and Mason and Hanger, the
contractors. The railroad completed
all the grading and trestle work from
the connection with his track to
the Government property line, four
and half miles, while the con-
tractor did equivalent work north of
that point, but the railroad com
pleted all of the track laying on the
hrst main line with own forces for
the entire seven and one-tenth miles
to the throat of the powder plant
yard.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
NEW SCHEDULE
ON PR. R. LINES
Important Changes Are An
ticipated; More Express
Trains Probable

=" The new schedule on the Pennsy
will be out on or about June 16. 1t
Is said the changes will be many.
breaking all previous records. 1t is
understood that two additional trains
to and from the west will be added.
Special schedules will also be pro-
uded for express and mail trains.
The consolidation of express COM
panies which will be operated by
the United States Government makes
many changes necessary. 1t is said
that local trains will be established
to handle express on short hauls,
and that some of the passenger
trains will carry only baggage and
coaches in the future.
Train No. IL, which now leaves
Harrisburg for the west at Z O'Clock
In the morning, will go on an earlier
schedule, probably at 4 O'Clock. Tram
No. Is will also be moved ahead OF
It's present schedule, and other
through trains from New York will
arrive and depart earlier, according
10 reports.
Heavy Night Travel
It is understood that travel to and
from New York and the west will
be heaviest during nighttime with
the new arrangement. because OF
the large movements of express,
mail and troop trains. With the
coming of the new schedule will also
be announced arrangements for han
ding special travel this summer.
While there will be few excursions,
some special trains may be neces-
sary.
The Elks will meet this year at
Atlantic City. Harrisburg and York
have joined in the organization of
marching club. 1t Is probable that
where there is a large body a special
movement will be provided. There
will be no cut in rates, those attend
Ing the Elks' convention to pay the
regular fare.

WILL HIGH PRICES CONTINUED

A writer In the Review OF Reviews
predicts that the high cost OF living
will continue after the war ends. His
reasons are: Food producers are de-
ca easing. and consumers increasing
the free lands are practically gone
cheap farm labor has disappeared
never to return; owner are decreas-
Ing and tenants increasing.
Notwithstanding his very logical
reasoning. the laws OF supply and de-
mand must always be considered, and
they are subject to frequent change
That high prices may prevail for q
few years after the war is possible
but that they will obtain forever is
wholly improbable-based upon hui
man experience.

Local Fruit in Market

Apples and plums grown in Hand

stores the past week, and many town
folks have been enjoying the fruit
from their own trees and bushes.
For some unknown reason the pro-

amounts to very little during the first
generation. After that the growth OF
frui becomes quite a factor. Perhaps
1t takes the old boys who have lost
some of the pep Of youth, and NO long

a thousand acres or two.
