Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. W. Hays of
this place received a card last
Friday stating that their son
Wilmer had arrived safe over
seas. Wilmer was first sent to
Camp Baldwin at Denver; thence
to Camp Kearney at Santiago,
Calf; thence to Camp Merritt,
N. j.. thence to France.
Among the many, who trip
from Hagerstown to Greencastle
for booze, are railroaders. On
Friday night the C. V. r. r.
detectives held up the railroad
travellers, taking the names of
forty railroad employees. Some
of them were pretty drunk, while
others were we'll ladened with
packages.
Misses Esta and Catherine
Hart, of Needmore, spent a Sun
day recently with their brother
Floyd at Camp Lee. They found
him looking fine. Army life
agrees with him and he is adding
to his avoirdupois every day.
The library, the Y. M. G. A. and
the Hostess House are all home
like and helpful. The sisters en-
joyed their visit very much.
Last Sunday was surely a dead
day in McConnellsburg, if live
days are measured by motor
traffic. Until the present gaso-
line ruling, there was a constant
stream of cars passing to and fro
over the Lincoln Highway.
Last Sunday there were but two
through cars passed through Nc
Connellsburg east, and one
west. With the exception of out
of-town people who came to
church in their cars, we did net
see a single transgressor among
our local people.

WET UNIT IS
 TO VOTE OVER
 DRY QUESTION

NEEDLES, Calf, March 20. - A wet and dry election to be held here April B will bring the question of local prohibition before this city, the last in San Bernardino County to permit the sale of liquor, and the one remaining wet spot in hundreds of miles of Cal .fornia and southwest desert.
 An initiative ordinance was submit ted to the city trustees a few weeks ago, making the town dry without re- ferring to the voters, but it failed of adoption. An election was thereupon ordered.
 The initiative rodinance would have provided for closing the saloons next January. When it failed of adoption, the ordinance to be voted was chang ed so that, if adopted, the saloons will be required to close July 1.
 The ordinance was given a place on the ballot for the regular city cleo tion, but interest in the wet and dry topic overshadowed other issues, al though city trustees are to De chosen and other questions settled.

ANTI-AIRCRAFT ] INSTRUCTION IS !,
 GIVEN TO MEN

WASHINGTON. D. C., March 29.iT To give the men at the Naval Train ing Station here practical instruction i'm the manipulation of anti aircraft guns, the Navy Department has auth orized the installation of three-inch, fifty calibie, anti-aircraft battery. This announcement is made in the Great Lakes Bulletin, the new daily newspaper edited and printed by the sailors.
 Present intentions are to mount the guns on the lake front so that men can be trained by target practice at captive balloons and box kites. For drill purposes, in connection with ayi- ators at the station, it is planned to have airplanes make day and night attacks" All guns will be fully manned, ready for instant action when am airplane puts in an appearance, The crew of the searchlight station will be constantly in readiness to pick pp airplancS making a night inva- sion."
 Airplane detectors, similar to those used 1t the European battlefrontS, ara being installed, and experiments with types of projectiles for attacking air planes will be carried on.
 Another innovation about to be adopted is a land rattleship," equip ped with modern appliances for the destruction of submarines. The ship has been built upon the lake front and will be equipped with the fire control and search light installations in use on the latest type American battle ships. A cage mast and battery of three-inch, fifty calibre guns will be mounted for use in target practice. A a result of the "landship" training, men will be qualified for gun posi- tions when they leave the station. The ship was planned by Captain w. A. Moffetr, station commander, and Lieu tenant. Commander Chester s. Rob ertS, executive officer.

 MAY BUILD A X
 BARGE FLEET

GREAT LAKES, ill., March go. - Government owned fleets of barges and towboats to transport coal, steel and heavy freight on the rivers and intra-coastal waterways will probably be in active operation before the end of the war.
 The precedent of government owned and operated ocean steamships paved the way months ago.
 Only the scarcity of construction steel has prevented the building of government river fleets.
 On account of the submarine men, ace, the Shipping Board has been ob- liged to concentrate on building ocean carriers, but early in the year, under the direction of Theodore Brent, form CT member of the board, plans were laid for building government barges.
 Secretary of Commerce Redfield has actively promoted every private move Iaent for the increased use of the wa terways in the past few months and some actual results have been achiev- ed. But definite sentiment has now arisen in Congress for legislation to provide for government aid to the re- sumption of waterway traffic.
 Senator McKellar of Tennessee has announced his intention to introduce bill to provide for construction of a fleet of government freight carriers for rivers, or to provide for govern ment aid for private enterprise.
 Government operation of the rail roads will make no difference in the development of the waterways, as the existing ail lines, even when operated as a unit and at the highest efficiency, cannot take care of the nations needs without the waterways.
