RAYMOND M'BRIDE
HONE on FURLOUGH
YOUNG oPELousEAN ABOARD
THE ToRPEDoED LINCOLN
Gives Story OF Ships Sinking and
How Officers and Men Com
ducted Themselves

Raymond Mcbride, able seaman
of the United States navy, arrived
home the first of the week on {
brief furlough He Will report tt
the navy yard at Brooklyn BY July
10, and while here is naturally en-
ioying his vacation home and meet
ing relatives and friends
On young McBride's sailor car
are the words Lincoln.
Simple. but they spell . lot The Lin,
coin lies at the bottom OF the sea,
somewhere in the eastern Atlantic.
She was one of the German ships in
termed in America and when this
government declared war on the
kaiser the Lincoln, with all other
German craft, was taken over. and
then put into transport service,
taking Uncle Sans boys to France
to help whip the kaiser.
The Lincoln made five trips across
and was on the return journey home
when she became the victim of a
Hun U-boat On the morning Of
May 81, at the hour OF $3.50, two
torpedoes struck the ship mortal
blow and twenty-six minutes later
she went to Davy Jones locker, TAX
ing with her twenty-three men and
four officers of her crew Of seven
hundred and fifteen.
Young Mcbride was aboard the
ship ten minutes after il was
struck by the torpedoes and, with
the number saved, rode the waves
many hours on life rats before be-
ing rescued. They sang songs until
the crew grew sea sick mal-de-
mers-then they dropped off to
sleep. The Germans aboard the
submarine took pictures Of the Am
ericans aboard the rats.
When the rescued sailors reached
American waters according to young
Mcbride, the Statue of Liberty at
the mouth of New York harbor
"sure did look good. Raymond said
further that all the boys aboard the
sunken ship are now ready and lit
to go after the kaiser's scalp again.

DEAR MRS. STEvENS:-I want
to thank you and the McConnells-
burg Chapter of the Red Cross so
much for the nice kit which you
gave to my mother to send to me.
| had asked mother to make me
one, but | suppose there will be
many times when the Red Cross
will have to fill the place of a
mother. 1t helps so much when
you think how the good people at
home are helping to back us
up" The Y. M. c. A. huts in
camp are the greatest places we
have to go in the evenings. The
Red Triangle is all that it stands
for Body, Mind and Soul of the
fellows here in Camp. | hope
the home Red Cross society has
had a successful week, thisaweek.
Thanking you all for this little
need of mine, | am, yours truly,

Administrator is receiving daily

that if the farmers did not mark

able time it would be requisition-
ed. | hope that there is not a
farmer in Fulton County that
will hold his wheat till the Gov

Germany Still Hesitating.

No abatement can be detected
in wartime activities, which
grow more and more intense as
the struggle progresses. At this
writing the expected renewal of
Germany's great drive has not
materialized, says Henry Clews
in his last Saturdays advices,
presumably because of incom-
plete preparations. Meanwhile
the strength and morale of the
Allies is steadily rising, largely
owing to the rapid influx of
American troops into France.
This movement is now progress
ing at a rate of probably 10000
per day, which is highly salts
factory to American expectations
and decidedly threatening to
those Of Germany. The longer
the enemy's offensive is delayed
the more complete will be its de-
feat. Time works more effect
lively than ever against the Cen
tral Powers, which find the paci-
fication of Russia increasingly
difficult, the new supply of food
and raw materials below expect
ations, and dissensions in Austria
constantly increasing. By con-
trast, the Allies are working to-
gether more harmoniously than
at any period Of the war; their
strength is rising as American
preparations approach their max
imum, and each day strengthens
confidence in ultimate German de-
feat. The one great hindrance
to peace is Germany's blindness
of the real Allied situation.
Duped as they are by military
leaders, whose all is at stake,
there seems to be no way out ex-
cept fighting to the bitter end un-
til we have completely smashed
the cruel autocracy which threat
ems the freedom of the civilized
world. 1t is our determination as
a nation to deliver that final
blow; and exert particle of
strength that we possess should
be spent for speeding the war
and Fastening the decisive mo-
ment.

Commissioner on Clutches.

Last Saturday morning Charlie
Weller, who is doing some repair
ing, needed a load of lumber from
Mellott's mill. Charlie has 8
good neighbor in the person OF
Commissioner Albert Nesbit. and
he hitched a horse in a team
with Albert making up a four,
horse rig. The rest, the horses
had been getting during lhe rainy
weather, made them feel like
having exercise, and they made
a dash up the hill from Weller's
mill toward the Cove road at a
2:30 gait.
Albert did not trust his wind to
chase them on foot, but mount
ed a horse and galloped after
them. When the team reached
the big road at Charlie Nesbit's
they turned toward McConnells-
burg. Thurman Nesbit seeing
the situation jumped into his
REQ. When Albert came up on
horseback, Albert left his horse
and got into the REQ with Thur
man. and at a 30.mile clip they
succeeded in passing the runa-
ways just at the top of the hill
south of James H. Kendall's,
Without waiting for Thurman TO
stop his car, Albert sprang out
with the intention of grabbing
the leader by the bride and
bringing the team to a standstill.
But Albert had not calculated the
speed of the moving car and
when his feet struck the ground
he set up a series Of acrobatic
stunts that would have made an
ordinary circusman green with
envy. Albert didn't catch the
team, When he pulled himself
together he found he needed a
couple yards of court plaster, a
half gallon of arnica, a bottle of
Sloan's liniment and q pair Of
crutches.
Thurman soon had the horses
under control, the team had its,
frolic, and everything was just
as good as ever-but Albert, who
soon will be.
