Contempt Of Paris Turns
to Rage Against Huns

Paris, Monday Aug. 5.-Con-
temptuous smiles and jocular re-
marks greeted the first explosion of
the German long range shell in the
Paris region to-day, because a re-
sumption of the bombardment at
this time was exactly what the pop
ulation expected the Germans to do
Despite the inclement weather
scores of persons sat indifferently
on the terraces and at the cafes sa-
luting each shell with caustic COM
ments.
Expressions of rage and hope of
revenge soon were heard, however,
when 1t became known that some
where in the vicinity of Paris women
and children had been murdered
wantonly by the German shell.

TRUE BILLSARE
FOUND AGAINST
AGED CONSTABLE
Must Face Perry County Jury
on Two Charges at
78 Years

New Bloomfield, Pa, Aug. g.
True bills on counts of voluntary
manslaughter and involuntary man
slaughter were returned by Perry
county grand jury late yesterday
against Jacob Sterner, 7Syear-old
Duncannon constable, who shot and
killed Russell McKelvey, of Duncan
non in February. The case will
reach the court tomorrow morning.
Feeble and with his sight badly
affected, Sterner had been constable
of Duncannon for more than a quar-
ter of a century. Early in Feoru-
AIRY a warrant was sworn out against
McKelvey. charging him with a seri-
Gus crime. and was given to Sterner
fer execution.
Several times Sterner had endea-
Nored to place McKelvey under ar
lest. but the latter simply ignored
the officer and walked away. On
the evening of February is. Sterner
again encountered McKelvey, VINO
cn6eavored to follow his previous
tactics. Angered and loosing CON
trci of himself, Sterner drew his re-
volver and shot McKelvey. He died
within a short time.
Sterner after being in Perry coun-
~ Jail for several weeks was releas-
ed under $1,000 bail. The health of
his wife rs seriously affected by wor-
riment over the shooting.
When. the case comes up for ;rial
tomorrow, District Attorney James
NJ Mckee and George R. Barnett
will represent the Commonwealth.
Tx-Judge James w. Shull and James
NJ Barnett have been retained as
Sterner's attorneys.

were distributed, eager to hear the
news from the States. 2 Especially
were the members of d Company
anxious to read the doings of Har-
risburg.
Il can't relate to you my expert
ences, because ! have had none of
any account. / can. however, tell you
OF one Harrisburg boy who went up
to the front line trenches for in
structions at several days
ago with some others from the regi-
ment. They left one night about 10
o'clock and the next morning at 8,
they were "over the top" for the
first time.
Paul .Chrisemer, the one l am
going to speak about, happened to
be the first to go over. He killed
four Germans and captured one ma
chine gun by himself He espied a
German running away, fired at him,
missed and then ran him down with
a fixed bayonet. After finishing him,
he learned that he had killed a Ger
man captain. The machine gun he
captured was in a tree that had
been fired on for some time.
After the gun had been silenced
they could still see the gunners in
the tree, but could not understand
why they weren't firing. So Chrise-
mer went out to investigate and
found both dead and chained to the
tree. That is the way the Germans
are fighting now.
Tell the people that they don't
know how glad the boys are when
they receive tobacco from the States
and they are always glad to read
papers from their home town. And
can truthfully say that the Tele-
| graph has sent more than all of the
company's home papers combined
So l will close, thanking the Tele-
graph and the people for all of the
boys.

by her ten-year-old brother Monday,
the bullet from 90 rifle passing thru
her left hand, entering her body. The
child was hurriedly brot to Minot

The children had taken the gun out
of the house unbeknown to the par

the accident happened.

Laos, attended the county meeting

has considerable ground ready for

the ground was very dry and a heavy
rain came packing the soil, irving him
but half a crop on that land.
