HARRY P. CUSHEN,
BAL TlMOREAN, IS
KILLED IN FRANCE
Cousin To The Family Of Mr..
And Mrs. w. F. Lyons
OF This City
ONE OF THE FIRST
TO MAN HIS GUN
Killed When German Shell Made
Direct Hit On His Gun Pit.
Description Of Action

One of the first to man his gun, after
the Germans had pounded the Amer
lean gun pits for four hours. throwing
over hail of shrapnel and high ex-
plosive shells. Harry p. Cushen. son of
Mr. and Mrs. Patrick j. Cushen, con-
tractor and builder of Baltimore and
cousin to the family of Mr. and Mrs.
w. +. Lyons of this city. was killed
when a German shell made direct
hit on his gun pit. Fighting like a
hero, he died like one. according to a
letter from his boyhood chum, Clinton
Davidson, who was serving i'm the
177th Trench Mortar Battery with him.
The action in which young Cushen
met his death occurred on July Is.
and was part of one of the greatest
battles of the war. with the Huns ad-
vancing so close TO the American lines
that they were within range of the
mortars. on the next day. Clinton
wrote to Mrs. Cushen as follows:
Harry took part i'm the greatest
battle of the war The Germans had
pounded our lines for four hours with
terrific barrage fire and had ad-
vanced within range of mortars when
orders came to fire.
Harry was the first to reach the
guns and started to fire under a per-
feet hail of shrapnel and high eXplosS
i've shells. II was on the second round
that a direct hit was made on his gun
pit and it was then that Harry showed
that a great soldier as he was can be
hero till the end.
"They carried him to his dugout
and made him as comfortable as possi-
BILE. Harry told them to go back to
their guns and not to mind him, as
their duty was at the guns; but one of
his crew stayed with him until the
last.
Harry was conscious all the time
and spoke of you all many-times and es-
pecially you ,as he loved you, and his
last words and wish were-"I would
be happy if / could only see my mother
before | die"
1T is needless for me to tell you
that he was good boy He was
good boy in France and / am heart
broken, as / know you are. ! loved
hem as brother and shall always re
member him as such"
Though both are deeply grieved over
the death of their son, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cushen are proud that he died as he
did, fighting for the greatest cause of
all
Mr. Cushen, who himself served five
years in the Regular Army, said that
the great comfort was that the boy had
died in the cause of liberty
His son. who was associated with
him in business had several times
written to him of Army life and Of
the wonderfully good effects of the dis
cipline of the Army regime.
Harry would have reached his TWEEN
! ty-second birthday this month.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
MAKES GOOD SHOWING

The United States Employment Ser
vice, In its estimate for the week end
ing December 7, reports that out OF
1881 registrations for employment,
the service referred 1915 to Jobs, and,
OF this number 84,2S4 were placed.
These totals are based on reports from
forty States. Nine Of them show an
excess OF registration over help want
ed as compared with four In the pre-
cedlng week. Five show an excess Of
help wanted over registration. where
the opposite was the case in the pre-
ylous weeks report from these same
States.
The noticeable difference between the
number referred to jobs and the num-
Der OF Nose reported placed is due, not
to the fact that many have failed OF
placement, but principally because Of
the negect OF employers and employees
to send In their return cards.
An interesting feature Of the weeks
report is that referring to the women
applicants. of which there were 1880
registrants and iS,763 referred. The
number reported placed is 1864, the
difference being due to placements from
the previous weeks registration.

SENATE Votes
DRY CAPITAL
Private Shipments for Per-
sonal Consumption
Cut Off ii
NO MORE "WET"
EDGES IN BIG CITY

WASHINGTON Dec. 2i.-By ~ to is
the Senate voted yesterday TO extend
the operation Of the Reed bone dry law
to include the District OF Columbia.
Upon an amendment by Senator Shep-
pard lTex,) author OF the District pro-
hibition law and the amendment TO the
Federal Constitution, the question was
put squarely up to the Senate.
On many occasions Senator Shep-
pard's efforts TO attach his pet meas
ure to appropriation measures has
been frustrated by the ruling Of the
various presiding officers. Today there
was no such opportunity
Under the terms OF the existing pro-
hibition law in the District OF Colum-
bia the Importation of alcoholic bev-
erages for personal use by the lndi-
vidual so importing them when accom-
panied by an aflldavit that the goods
are neither for sale nor for the use Of
any one else that the consignee is
legal Since the law went into effect
on November 4. 1917, there has been
thriving business done In Washington
by liquor dealers Of nearby cities, par
tlculariy Baltimore and Philadelphia,
the nearest wet points.
In the course Of the consideration OF
Senator Sheppard's amendment the
Texas Senator sent TO the desk letters
from the Commissioners OF the District
OF Columbia and from the local super
intendent OF police averring that the
OF a real bone dry law was a
crying necessity by reason OF the thrlv-
ing business now benig done by "boOt-
leggers."
Only Senator Pheian (Cal.) rose to de-
fend the citizens of Washington from
the approaching drought. lie spoke
against the measure and then offered
rs an amendment a provision that only
distilled beverages should be affected
md that wines, beers and ales might
De imported. This was defeated with
lut a division OF the Senate and then
he Sheppard amendmnt was adoptd.
There now remains only the single
l0pe that the conferees between the
House and Senate will eliminate the
zone dry provision In conference. The
ihance of such action is remote In view
II the convincing vote by which the
amendment was included.
