SERGT. QUEENTN'S LETTER
Epistle Written Two Days Before He
 Was Wounded.

John N1cInerney has received a letter mailed by Raymond Queenin, sergeant in Company E, two days be- fore his name appeared on the of ficial casualty lists. The letter was dated October Is and post marked October Is. On October 20 he was listed as wounded.
 Tn his letter he states that the boys of the 102d were in reserve, but as they were shock troops they were liable to be sent into the fray at any moment. The Yankee Regiment as they arc called in France has gained the admiration of the soldiers of all the allies by their fearless lighting, he writes, and will in the end bring home the bacon. He states that the war will be over by Christmas if everything goes well, and expressed his hopes of seeing his friends soon.
 It is proba ble that the shock troops were called into action soon after he wrote the letter and this may ac- count for his being wounded.

conserve their coal supplies.
1t was said this morning that the
coal which does come into the city
is converted to the use of the house
holder who has only a small house
to heat and does not need much coal.
Large orders are not filled to two
thirds their demands as formerly, but
all the coal which arrives Is dis
tributed to householders in two and
three tons. and some times one-ton
lots, in order to tide them over the
early winter months. When winter
sets in, 1t is hoped more coal will
have arrived to fill all the bins TO
at least two-thirds their require
ments.
To Care For Small Consumer
For the consolation of the small
householder whose order has not
been touched by the dealer, it was
said at the Central Coal Exchange
that their orders will receive first
attention hereafter. and they will
receive at least a small amount of
coal to protect them from suffering
when winters first cold spell arrives.

ready far beyond their capacity to
fill them at the present time. These
consumers can have their orders
placed through the coal exchange at
9 North Second street. The exchange
will place the order with the dealer
located nearest to the neighborhood
of the consumer. AS soon as posi-
Bile, then, the order will receive at
tention. Mr.. Hickok has announced
his intention to do all in his power
to see that the small consumer does
not suffer.

indicate the Bulgarians have hur-
ried up reinforcements without,
however, being able to stem the
tide. High hills have been car
ried by the Allies, who have
reached the Cerna river, at a
point about fifteen miles distant
from the city of Prilep, which
seems to be the present objective
in the fighting.
In Macedonia, the allied sue
cess east of Monastir has been
followed by an attack in the
Lake Doiran front by the British
and Greek armies. A foothold
on the enemy's first position was
gained and the fighting still is
going on. This attack seems to
be a move in the direction of the
Nardar valley, which has been
considered the most feasible
avenue into Serbia from the
south.

HARRISBURGERS
BORN in ITALY
CELEBRATE DAY
Forty-Eighth Anniversary of
Unified Nation Quietly, but
Generally Observed

To-day is Italy's forty-eighth an
niversary as unified nation, it be-
ing just that number of years ago
when the troops of King Victor Em-
manual entered Rome. after meeting
with but little resistance, and though
that auspiCiouS occurrence Will have
no concerted celebration in Harris
burg, evidences are plenty that all
the local descendants of Caesar are
noting the day with more than usual
interest. This, of course, is due TO
the war and the prominent part be-
ing taken by Italy helping to win the
titanic struggle for democracy. Ital-
ians of Harrisburg, as a body. have
never signally observed the day of
Italy's liberty.
Epitomizing the feeling of Har-
rishurg Italians on the war and the
forty-eighth birthday of their native
land. V. F. Salerno. 11S South Third
street, prominent Italian of this city
and venerable of the Lords of Carlo
Alberto. said this morning:
The war looks pretty good to
me now and should be won for the
Allies. Italy. who won her inde-
pendence and unity forty eight years
ago. is glad to be on the side of her
French. British and American broth
ers in their fight for the same prin-
ciples of unity and liberty through
out the world"
Indications are that although there
will he no large public observance
of the day among Italians here.
many informal recognitions of the
gala event will occur in the hundreds
of Italian homes in this city.

Offer to Extend
Railroad Notes

New Yorks. Sept. 2O.-J. p. Nor
gan and Company. and their associ-
ates. the First National Bank, the
National City Company. and Harris,
Forbes and Company. sent out a let
ter last night to holders of the Chi
cago and Western Indiana Railroad
Company's one-year per cent. notes.
which were due September l. but un-
paid. suggesting that they agree to
an extension of the notes for one
year, and Offering them an extra
compensation of IL per cent, thus
making the extended investment yield
slightly more than ~ per cent.
The proposal for an extension of
the notes, bearing interest at the
rate of per cent. per annum, was
made by the Morgan firm TO John
SHELTON Williams of the Railroad Ad-
ministration in Washington the day
previous to the publication of Mr..
Williamss attack upon the bankers.

tonnage. but it may be interesting
to know that on the lower Missis-
sippi, the government has expended
for distance OF one thousand miles,
over 100000 per mile and. in addi-
tion. annually expends from three to
five millions of dollars to maintain
it's navigability. On the Ohio, for a
distance of 200 miles, an average of
$S6.000 per mile has been expended
and, on some of the smaller streams,
the expenditure has been out of all
proportion to the tonnage carried.
the big sandy river in Kentucky is
perhaps the most notable example II
is estimated that the government has
spent $3.50 for every ton of traffic
carried on the river per annum So,
it would seem, in the light of pre-
vious legislation. the Susquehanna
should receive favorable considera-
tion by the government
Possibilities of Power Production
The Susquehanna Is not only a
navigable stream. but 1t presents
great possibilities for water power.
At point near Harrisburg. the river
is approximately 500 feet above the
sea level. With the constantly in
creasing population and the multi
plicity of manufacturing and indus
trial establishments. power plants
located on the river would find ready
sale for power and would, unques-
tionably. produce a revenue sufficient
to pay a satisfactory rate of inter-
est on the actual expenditures incur
red by the government. The dams
which 1t would seem should be To-
Gated on the river need only be sup
piled with proper locks for the pas
sage OF vessels which would require
comparatively small additional ex-
penditure to make the river navi-
gable.
Action By Congrens Essential
However. II must be remembered
that any stream that is naviga BILE
wholly and only within the confines
OF one state remains under the jurls-
diction OF that state. To bring any
stream under the Jurisdiction of the
Federal government, Congress must
declare that stream navigable from
an lntervstate viewpoint. Namely
navigabie in two or more states.
1T so happens that on March s.
1904, the then Secretary OF War ruled
that the Susquehanna was not a navi-
gable stream on the presumption that
II was only navigable within the
state of Maryland. This, however,
was an error and Is not the fact,
and. In an opinion given by Judge
Advocate General Crowder- to Secre-
tary of War Garrison dated June 9,
1914. he declared that the ruling of
the Secretary OF War in 1904 was an
error. At present the ruling of the
secretary of War made in 1904
stands
Therefore. n declaration by Con-
gress, declaring the Susduehanna
navigable Is the first step necessary
to bring about this much desired re-
suit"
