Americans Hold Positions
Berlin Reported Captured;
Yanks Take Empty Trench

With the American Army in
France, April IS. - The American
troops northwest of Toul again took
possession of No Mans Land, near
Apremont forest, last night, after a
week in which the shell-torn land
between the trenches was virtually
deserted, except during the long SER
les of attacks, because of the Nio-
lence of the artillery fire. (This gives
the lie to the German Wolff News
Agency's report that the Germans
nod defeated the Americans near st.
Mihiel.)
Two American patrols went out
last night seeking a machine gun
nest, which was reported in front OF
the German trenches. but found it
empty. The patrols went up to the
barbed wire in front of the enemy
first line, but encountered no Ger
mans.
The enemy apparently has given
up, temporarily at least, his attempt
TO penetrate to the American third
line, after the crushing defeat he
sustained in several attempts with
specially trained shock troops last
week.
The two German aviators shot
down by Lieutenant A. S. Winslow,
of Chicago, and Lieutenant Douglas
Campbell, of California, Sunday, mis-
took the aviation field, where they
encountered the American aviators,
for German camp, according to in
formation to-day.
Winslow and Campbell weer play
ing cards in an aviation shed, when
they received the report that two
enemy aviators were headed in their
direction at a height of about 5000
feet. Both men, who were on alert
duty and fully dressed in aviation
costume, ran on the field, jumped in
to their machines and mounted into
the air to repel the invaders. Later
they were modest in giving recital
of their experience. Lieutenant Win
slow said:
Captive Gets Honor by Mistake
When we got up in the air, we
saw the Germans approaching.
Campbell picked out one and started
for him and 1 started for the other.
] got on to the trail of my man and
shot round of machine gun bull
let's into the machine. He looped
around my machine. l maneuvered
for position and again shot a round
at him. His machine quivered for
an instant then nosed downward,
landing almost intact. l circled
around to make sure that his ma
chine was out of commission, then
arose to help Campbell, but he had
already mastered his adversary"
Lieutenant Campbell said:
MY man saw me first and fired
round at me. Some of the bullets
punctured my machine, but did lit
tie damage. I finally got over him
and let fly. His machine caught fire
and started to fall. l followed 1t to
the ground"
CampbelIs adversary was badly
burned about the face but will re-
cover. Winslow's opponent was un-
hurt. Both of the enemy airmen
were less than 25 years of age.
Both Winslow and Campbell were
excited and nervous after landing
Winslow walked up to his German
adversary and handed him a cigaret.
then remounted his machine and
climbed in the air to escape the
crowd of persons who had congre-
gated about him.

duce the best kind of milk.
Central Pennsylvania is one of the
best dairy centers in the country.
the milk produced is the best there
is. The people of this city are to be
congratulated that they are in a po-
sition to get rich milk and cream.
Another thing is that the majority
of milkmen are conscientious in re-
spect to their dairy rooms.
Ryder Bros. of Lemoyne, have
one of the model creameries of this
section. All the modern appliances
for the betterment of the milk is in
stalled in this dairy. The proprietor

This Is a Good Time
to Have Your Home
Wired For Electricity

When figuring out the cost of do
ing business, rent, wages, usual rum
ming expenses and other incidentals
are all added in. Those firms that
are out of the high rent district of
course have less rent to pay and
naturally their running expenses are
lower. They can sell their goods at
reduced rate from that of the
merchant in the business center.
Elwood d. c. Ross, the New Cum
berland electrician, is one of those
merchants who conducts his busi-
ness out of the high rent district.
He carries a complete line of all
kinds of electrical supplies and does
all kinds of repair work.
One of Mr.. Ross specialties is
wiring houses, both old and new.
There are no jobs too complex that
they cannot be wired. Mr.. Ross says,
you phone me and I'll wire you"

Gives Satisfaction In
Half Hours Time When
Others Failed in 6 Years

One of the peculiarities of this life
time. The other day a man heard of
the William Piker Artificial Limb
Company in North Sixth street. He
had an artificial limb that had given
him no satisfaction for over six
years, in fact not since it was made.
He had tried several makers of arti-
ficial limbs and none of them SEEM
ed to be able to fix his limb so that
he could handle it with ease. He
went to Mr.. Piker and told him the
circumstances and asked if he could
do anything to better the limb. Mr..
Piker worked on it for a little more
than half hour and at the end of
that time had the limb so adjusted
that it gave entire satisfaction to it's
owner.
On the strength of this repair
work, this man, Albert L. Burns,
of Abesonia, Huntingdon county, or
dered a new limb. At the same time
one of the county commissioners of
Huntingdon county heard of the
work Mr.. Piker does and being an
old Civil War veteran with both legs
missing, he too ordered a pair to be
made at once.
The work of making artificial linn bs
is an art that has been acquired by
Mr.. Piker through thirty years of
continuous working at it. He has
been in this city for a number of
years and has acquired large num-
Der of satisfied costumers.
Besides making artificial limbs,
this company supplies abdominal
belts, trusses and braces of all kinds.
This establishment is located in
North Sixth street, just above Harris.
Just recently the increased amount
of work required them to enlarge
their quarters and they are now able
to take care of any amount that
comes in.
