at His Home in Altoona

John T. Kuhns. a retired veteran
patternmaker of the Pennsy. died
yesterday at his home in Altoona.
He was Il native of Carlisle and well
known in Harrisburg. For many
years he was employed by the Penn

Mr.. Kuhns' service as a defender
of his country began with August
IA, 1868. VIXEN he was mustered
in as member of the One Hundred

faHia Volunteers. His regiment saw
serYire with both the First and Fifth

he participated were the battles of
Rappahannock. Mine Run, Laurel
Hill, Spottsylvania, Bethesda Church.
Cold Harbor, the battles of the Will

Loses Faith in U-boats
THE submarine warfare alone, 1t
believes, cannot prevent the con-
tinual transport of troops and war
material to the western front. The
English army, it continues, has been
reconstructed and put into a perfect
state. The public, which is aware
of the enormous difficulties against
which our headquarters staff has to
fight, will not be astonished to see
the latter proceeding with prudent
tardiness. 1t will take weeks, per-
haps, to wrest the initiative from
General Foch Any nervousness
would be at the present moment not
only useless, but even harmful.
The Koelnische Zeitung's war
correspondent says that never be-

and compact front.

RUSS WARRIOR
TRIES TO GET
TO SCRANTON
With Wife and Eighteen, All
in Fur, He Shuttles Back
and Forth

New York. 1t was not in the
mind of Michael Rassoulovich, the
traveller, to waste time in New York.
He was one who had seen the great
ports of Sebastopol and Seattle, and
who was to look upon, and soon, the
prominent American city of Scran-
ton. So for Michael, arriving with
the dawn the other day, it was off
one train and onto another as speed
lily as might be.
Much moving about the world
even to cast aside those experiences
in the war which had won him the
little white enamel Cross of st.
George which tapped against his
chest above his heart-had endowed
Michael with a grand self-reliance.
He spoke. no English, but straight
way he found his Scranton train.
Finds His Own Train
Aye, he found it. right handy to
the Grand Central Station, in a hole
in the ground. as deep as that
through which he had been shot into
the city, and upon it he marched
his wife ana his eighteen fur-coated
children.
Michael wore a great fur coat him
self. But for all his six foot Of
height and his tremendous breath
that and the Cross of st. George
were his only burdens. Mamma Ras-
soulovich was a little wonder. In
her arms, nesting inside her fur
coat in a tiny fur coat of its own,
nestled the youngest. Upon her
back she cheerfully bore a trundle
bed. a samovar, a frying pan, many
wondrous wreaths of garlic and sun.
dry other appurtenances of the
hnnGnhn16
kitchen.
1t was before the earliest of early
rush hours then and Michael and
his family had the whole of a car to
themselves.
No such car had Michael ever seen
before upon all his travels. The
seats ran lengthwise; uprights Of
glistening whiteness divided it; off,
cials of the road in snowy uniforms
officiated at either end and by spe-
cies of magic caused doors in the
very center to fly open, even and
again, without even approaching
them.
1t struck Michael Rassoulovich at
first that travel between New York
and Scranton was so light as to indi-
cate a philanthropic endowment be-
hind the management of the line.
The cost of his tickets, for one
thing. had been far less than friends
returned from Scranton to Russia
by way of New York had led him to
expect to pay
Later on business picked up. The
stops were many and the cities along
the route were all alike as nearly as
Michael could make out in the gloom
through which his train ran as the
rosies of garlic which Mamma Ras-
soulovich had used to crown the
litter of impedimenta at her feet.
At some OF these stops many peo-
PIE boarded the train, struggling for
the privilege of riding with the Ras-
souloviches. At other stops many
got off. which was a great relief to
Michael, for at times he had counted
as many as four strangers standing
upon his Siberian boots, At other
stops all would leave the train but
Michael mamma and the little Ras-
souloviches.
Suspects He's on Shuttle
Dimly Michael suspected that he
was travelling over the same ground.
More than once it occurred to him
that he had passed through the cities
of Hunderansixteen and Van Kort-

To Keep Army Maps Posted
Up to the Minute

Lieutenant Lesher, commander OF
the Harrisburg Recruiting company,
has arranged to receive telegraphic
communications from Washington
regarding the advance of the allied
troops on the west front, and the
advances will be shown on the large
map at 221 Market street, which was
painted by Sergeant Carol B.
Davish.
The map shows the battle lines on
the west front and has attracted
much attention. 1t is painted in
colors, and the allied line before the
drive is shown. while the daily ad-
vances of the armies are marked by
red white and blue pins. AS fast as
news of a change in the battle line
is received, the lines on the map are
changed and the advance IS shown.
Many people are making the map

allied drive. It is interesting to note
on the map that the lines marking
the location of the One Hundred and
Twelfth Pennsylvania division this
morning showed the greatest ad
vance.

GERMANY FEARS
FOCH'S STRATEGY
IN WORLD WAR
Press Openly Admits Allies
Have Wrested Initiative
From Hindenberg

Washington, July 24.-Germany
has not only been greatly depressed
by the failure of the Hindenburg
strategy, involving the repulse OF
Ludendorffs offensive, but is dis
turbed seriously over the loss of
the initiative, fearing it may require
weeks to wrest it again from Gem
eral Foch. An official report from
Basle says:
While confessing now that the
situation has changed, the German
press is attempting to envelop this
confession in many kinds of expla-
nations, employed with a view to
making it more acceptable to the
German public. The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Strassburger Post
writes
- The public had in general at
tached too great hopes to the Ger
| man offensive which was launched
on both sides of Rheims. AS we can
see in reading the communications
OF the last few days, these hopes
have not been realized. The enemy
, was informed of our plans and we
were not able to surprise him.
Now the French and the Amer
leans have begun a counteroffensive
|
the German headquarters staff will
have to make fresh plans. The
public will do well to practice pa
tience with regard to future devel
opments of operations in the west.
Fears Foch's Strategy
