Malicious Mischief.

A few days ago some thought
less person placed an obstruction
on the lumber railroad in the
western part of the County own
ed by the Reichley Bros. G. Co.,
which caused the derailment of a
car and which might have caused
the death of three men. The
Reichleys are public spirited men
and have the reputation of being
fair in their dealings with their
employees and the public generally
but it should not be expected
that they will stand for any
foolishness, when it comes to the
wanton destruction Of their
property or the endangering of
the lives of their employees.

The Back Yard.

Many back yards are an abom-
ination to the eye and nose. One
finds in them all sorts of litter
and refuse, from oyster cans to
old boots. Here the slops of the
kitchen are poured to increase
the odors which ought to warn
every thoughtful person of ma
larial influence breeding'there, to
break out eventually in fevers or
diphtheria. If a member of the
family dies from one of these
diseases, his death is probably
lamented as a mysterious dis
pensation of Providence" but
the minister would say if he were
to visit the back yard, that death
was caused solely by a violation
of the hygienic laws.

biles and reached McConnells-
burg about II O'Clock; they left
for home at 4 in the afternoon.
They had enough provisions
along to have their suppers at
some cool shady nook along the
way home.

Dark Outlook for Germany.

Germany has cause to fear her
future.
What is to be her status after
the war? Intelligent men are
asking that question in German
business circles. When Herr
Haase declared in the Reichstag
the other day that the military
authorities were conducting the
war in a manner which was alien
ating the friendship of the
whole world, he voiced what was
in the mind Of many thoughtful
citizens of Germany.
Ordinarily nations may fight
and resume commercial relations
when the struggle is over. But
Germany has outlawed herself
by her brutalities. No right
thinking man can grasp the hand
of a cold -blooded murderer with
any feeling of cordiality, much
less respect him and his crime.
1t is thus with Germany. Where
is her trade coming from? Who
is going to do business with
her? Where is she to get her
raw material?
Her offenses against human
ity have been such as to build up
against her a barrier of resent
ment that will not readily yield.
Long ago the longshoremen of
England declared that after the
war they would not unload a Ger
man vessel. A few days ago the
seamen of England proclaimed
their determination to boycott
Germany. That decision was
made all the more emphatic by
the ruthless sinking of the hos
pital vessel Llapdovery Castle by
a submarine and five years were
added to the sixty-eight months
previously agreed upon. Follow
ing the receipt OF the news the
powerful Liverpool Cotton EX-
change met and by resolution
unanimously adopted and agreed
that no member or members of
a firm shall trade either directly
or indirectly with the present en-
emies of Great Britain for a peri
cd of ten years after the war"
1t was peculiarly atrocious
affair, that sinking. Here was a
vessel carrying Red Cross nurses
and medical men exclusively. Not
q weapon was on board. Her
peaceful mission was plainly in
dicated. And yet the submarine
commander torpedoed her with
out warning and afterward mur-
dered many of her passengers
and crew who had taken to the
small boats.
Yes, Germany has alienated
herself from all the civilized
world. Her future is a dark
one, indeed.

Serenaded.

The News was very agreeably
surprised and we'll entertained
last Friday afternoon when a
drum corps consisting of half.a-
dozen members with flies drums
and cymbals appearee in front of
the office and played a number of
patriotic airs. Upon investiga-
ton it was found that the NOV
ing spiritof the musical organiza-
tion was Eli Sheets the famous
Martha Washington candy man
and old-time friend of the Editor.
While Mr.. Sheets is a resident
Of Washington City where his
principal store is located, he has
branch stores in all the leading
cities of the Country, and is cas-
lily the Candy King of America.
He is a native of Berlin, Somer-
set County, and was returning to
Washington from trip to his
old home accompanied by his

From Camp jackson.

ship boy, writing from Camp
Jackson, S. c., July 1st, says
I'VE left McConnellsburg May
91st and landed at the barracks
at Columbus, 0. the next fore
noon at 1I:30, where we remain
ed four days and then were sent
to Camp Jackson, S. c. While
at Columbus, the barracks were
much crowded and many of US
had to sleep on one of the porch
es, end some preferred to sleep
on the ground. OF course, we had
good mattresses ard covering.
While at Columbus | took my eX-
animation and passed 0. K.
AT 6 o'clock on the morning
of June 4th we left Columbus
for South Carolina, arriving at
Camp Jackson at 8 o'clock in the
morning Of June 9th. The trip
from Columbus to Camp Jackson
was different from the one from
McConnellsburg to Columbus.
The part Of the Virginias through
which we passed is all mountains
and creeks, but the country in
South Carolina is pretty nice.
While our train wonld be stand
ing at the station at a number of
towns the Red Cross women
would come and put eats"
through the windows of the
coaches which the boys accepted
very gratefully and with much
appreciation for the throughtful-
ness of the donors. At tDanville,
Va, we were taken from the
train and given a little hike
through the town. When we got
back into the coaches, the Red
Cross people came and gave US
cakes, candies, chewing gum,
post cards, cigarettes, etc.
"You understand that after be-
ing received into the service, the
boys are all inoculated, to make
them immune against diseases.
This is done with hypodermic

how it feels, push a sewing
needle into your arm a few
times. | stood the ordeal first

others get sick for a time, and
others get sick afterward.
1t is right warm here. When

could complete the gigantic uH-
dertaking. In the first place, he
did not have the necessary money
to finance the plan himself, and
in the second place, it was sup
posed to be an impossible engi-
neering feat, for it had been
tried twice before without sue
cess. But despite these handi-
caps Mr.. McAdoo's intense en-
thusiasm and, above all, his abili-
ty to put things over" enabled
him to raise $40, 100000 for the
project and work was started.
At forty.fve, after the solving
of engineering difficulties which
seemed insurmountable and de-
spite the violent opposition of
traction magnates and political
grafters, who conducted many
legal battles to hinder the work,
Mr.. McAdoo had laid four tubes
under the Hudson River and
started them in successful opera
ton, thereby placing New York
City under debt of gratitude
and paving the way for other
river tubes that have played such
an important part in increasing
its transportation facilities.
At forty-seven McAdoo devot-
ed much time to the campaign
for the election of Woodrow Will
son, then president of Princeton
University, as Governor of New
Jersey. Later he was a delegate
to the Presidential Convention,
and became vice-president Of the
Democratic Campaign Commit
tee.
At fifty William G. McAdoo
was appointed Secretary of the
Treasury by President Wilson in
acknowledgment of his faithful
ness. He has filled this position
exceptionally we'll despite the
fact that he has had more to con-
tend with than almost any form
er secretary and that there have
been more changes in the finan-
cial policy of the Government,
much more money raised and
more crises passed during his
term of Office than ever before.
Today-at fifty-four-M Mr.. Nc
Adoo, by direction of the Presi-
dent, has also assumed control of
the railroads, and to his other
duties has been added the diff
cult task of assembling the trans
portation resources of the coun-
try to meet the greatest military
and commercial needs the coun-
try has ever known.
An enormous sum of money
will be needed to successfully
finance the railroads and upon
Mr.. McAdoo rests the response
bility of carrying out this work.

Sl.5O A YEAR.
The FOURTH IN RECONNAISSANCE.
Ideal Weather, Large CrCwd, Splendid
Parade, aud Nice. Sum Realized
for Red Cross Fund.

for Red Cross Fund.
One Of the most orderly and
largest crowds seen in McCon-
nellsburg since the Centennial
celebration in 1886, gathered on
the Fourth to celebrate the natal
day of the Republic, and to lend
encouragement and substantial
assistance to the Red Cross War
Fund. On account Of the neces-
sity for making use of every
minute in the harvest fields,
many farmers did not leave their
homes until after noon. But,
thanks to the automobile, and to
the improved condition of our
roads, the most distant portions
of the county are within two
hours run to the County Seat,
and by the time the parade was
ready to move at $3.50, the streets
Of the town we're alive with good
natured people.
In order that there shall be a
creditable display on such occa-
sions, somebody must do work
and plenty Of it. This had been
well organized, and done quietly,
so that when the parade appear
ed it was & most agreeable sur
prise to even our home people.
The order observed in the parade
was: Chief Marsall, d. NJ. Ken
dali. 2. Joan of Arc and attend
ants. 3. Float-Uncle Sam and
Goddess Of Liberty. 4. Merces-
burg Band. 5. G. A. r. flag.
6. Automobile with G. A. r.
men. Z. Mothers with service
flags. 8. Red Cross dogs. 9.

dal's automobile. 20. Philip
Rotz's auto. q. Suffrage Divi-
sion.
The whole celebration was
given under the auspices of the
Red Cross Chapter and about
4:30 the ladies began to serve
supper, the tables being placed
in the corridor of the Court
House, and the Sheriff's office
being used as the kitchen. The
gross proceeds of the days effort
to more than five hun
dred dollars; and every one who
spent a half dollar for supper,
felt that he got fifty cents worth
in return for his money.
During the evening which eX-
tended to midnight, there was
something doin' every minute.
Music by the band, the Commu-
nifty Sing, in which everybody
joined in singing the oldtime
as we'll as the late patriotic airs,
while the fortune teller, the
Shoot the Kaiser" and cake
walks furnished amusemant to
the crowd and cash to the excheq-
Ter.
