Mr.. and Mrs. StackpOle
Visit Son in Hospital

Mr.. and Mrs. e. J. Stackpole have
gone to Staten Island to visit their
son, Captain E. ]. Stackpole, Jr., who
is in q government hospital at Fox
Hills, recovering from serious wounds
received in France last summer.
They hope to bring him back with
them to Harrisburg for the Christ
mas holidays. r.
The Telegraph has received a
marked copy of the Latrobe Bulle-
tin, printed in the home town of
many of the boys of Company M,
/ which was also the home of Major
Thomas b. Anderson, who was killed
in the same engagement which re-
suited in the serious wounding of
Captain Stackpole, and refers pleas
antly to the services of the young
Harrisburg officer as follows:
Captain E. J. Stackpole, Jr., of
Harrisburg who commanded Com
pany M, of Latrobe, from the time
the One Hundred and Tenth went
across, until the 25th of September
when he was put out of action by
machine gun bullets, while leading

States Hospital ship Mercy.
THE vessel, carrying 396 wound
ed men. some of them on stretchers,
and others able to get around on
crutches, reached Quarantine We'd
nesday evening from Bordeaux and
| docked in New York. t7 --w s95;.
Captain Stackpole, it will be re-
called, was shot through both legs.
He was removed to a base hospital in
Paris-and on the 11th of Novem-
berthe day the armistice was sign
ed-he had recovered sufficiently to
be able to take q motor ride through
the city.
Captain Stackpole, formerly asso-
ciated in the newspaper business
with his father, the owner of the
Harrisburg Telegraph, was commits
stoned at Plattsburg, and later was
assigned to the command of Com
pany M, following the transfer of
Captain King to the headquarters
company of the One Hundred and
Tenth.
''The new captain, because of his
skill as an instructor in bayonet
drill, was kept busy with instruction
work while the company was at
Hancock-and it was not until the
regiment sailed that he assumed his
command, a complete stranger, as
he was not acquainted with any
member of the company.
1T was on the 2Sth of July when
Company NJ and the other compa-
nies of the Third Battalion, entered
the battle for the first time, that
Capain Stackpole demonstrated quail
ifications to command.
His bravery, his GOODNESS and his
ability to deal with emergencies, won
him the loyal support of his men,
and the commendation of his super
ior officer and from that day on, the
young officer was one of the men
upon whom the major of the bat
talon placed the greatest reliance.
Until he was finally put out of
the fight, with bullet wounds in both
legs, Captain Stackpole was always
Company Ms leader, trusted and re-
spected, with his men ready to go
with him, anywhere"

Mrs. Hendrie is not quite so cheer

The allotment is still $50 pairs but
only 100 have been delivered. Can
we furnish $50 pairs in less than
half a month? The yard in sufficient
quantity is delivered to the knitters
and those who perhaps could do an
other pair have nothing to work

M'ADOO EXCEEDS
BUDGET FIGURES
FOR RAILROADS
Finds Billion Dollar
Fund insufficient to
Meet War N e e d s.;
Most of Increase Goes
Into Equipment.

WASHINGTON-The so-calIed bill
lion dollar budget approved early
this year by Director General Nc
Adoo for railroad improvement and
equipment, has proven insufficient to
meet war needs, and it has been in
creased to $,1097,39S,OOO or $780,
100000 more than the original ag-
gregate fbudgets of all federally
controlled roads. This was disclosed
Friday in detailed report of capital
expenditures authorized to date.
Most of the increase was made
necessary by the growing need for
cars and locomotives. Originally
$4S6,O0O,0O0 was authorized for pur-
chase Of new rolling stock, but this
has been raised to $655, ,6S6,OOO by
huge. orders placed by the railroad
administration.
Additions and Betterments
For additions and betterments, in
cluding new yards and industry
tracks, terminal facilities, stations
and bridges and budgets of first class
roads provided originally for S433,-
100000. This has been pared down
to $4O4, 100000, chargable to capital
accounts, but additional work cost
ing $105, 100000 has been author
ized, to be charged to operating ex-
penses. The $2O,0OO,00O approved
early this year for extensions and
branch tracks has been raised to
$35,000,00O.
The $1,O97, 100000 now author
lied for additions, betterments and
equipment does not include an addi-
tional $125,652,O00 which will be
considered as part of railways operat-
ing expenses.
Big Program of Improvement
The huge program of railway i'm
provement indicated by these new
figures is now being carried out,
partly with the aid of an army of en-
gineers, laborers, masons, builders,
steam shovels, telephone linemen and
track layers in thousands of places
along the rail lines. The biggest
single item in the additions and bet
terments consists of yard tracks, sid
ings and industry tracks.
The actual outlay under the i'm
provement program has been about
$400, 900, 900, official estimate. Act
ual reports show $211,914,000 up to
July 1, including $1O2,OOO,O0O for
additions and betterments, $111,-
100000 for cars and locomotives and
$8,O0O,OOO for extensions.
