OBSCURE THEFTS
BEING CLEARED

The arrest of ]. A. Meyers, a well
known farmer of Butler township, on
the 18th inst, is clearing up several mys.
terious thefts in the neghborhood south
west of this city. His latest exploit and
the one that has proved his undoing, was
relieving c. N. freight car of cement,
soap, prunes, candy, tobacco and other
things, a portion of his haul being found
at his home.
Two or three months ago Mrs. Joe
Meyers, a well-to-do widow residing
southwest of town, had some wheat she
had sacked for market stolen from her
premises, and it was recently discovered
that Meyers had disposed of it to the To-
cal elevators, the sacks being identified
by Sheriff Pumphrey.
At a preliminary hearing last Friday
before Justice Scranton, FIVE charges
were lodged against Meyers-four for
burglary and one for grand LARCENY. As
a result he was placed under a bond of
81 900 for his appearance in court, and
being unable to come across with it he
was sent to the county bastile.
Meyers has a wife and four children
ond 70-acre farm. The farm, however,
seems to be tied up IN such a manner that
he cannot dispose of it.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF WAR

gions, and thus gain fair way to
the French capital, the maneuvers OF
the German commanders have
brought to the German arms nothing
more than the obliteration of the
Noyon salient and the capture of
few unimportant positions southwest
of scissors, near the outskirts of the
Villers-C Cotterets forest. In this drive
the German war Office claimed the
capture of $1,000 men. American
troops played prominent part in the
weeks activities. In the Chateau
Thierry sector they pushed back the
enemy at several points and recov-

put down, with heavy losses to the
enemy.
June 18-Tome announced that
counter attacks by the Italians result
ed in the occupation by the allies Of
ground won from them in the hill
country in the initial onslaught Of
the Austrians and the rectification of
their lines, while stiffening of the
front along the Piave river has made
impossible, for the time being at
least, further fording of the stream
by the enemy. Hard fighting still is
in progress, however. The number of
prisoners taken by the allies has
reached 4,5OO, while the Austrians
have captured 10000.
Northwest of Chateau Thierry, es-
pecially in the Belleau wood, in the
Marne sector, the Germans are treat

gas and shells. Their efforts have
gone uDrewarded, however, so far as
breaking the line is concerned

further to advance their lines since
their initial onslaught. The allies de.

JOE'S
CONVINCING Way

Veteran Joe Shannon, residing along
the L. Z. & w. Railroad, north of Mer-
celina Park, has a way of getting rid of
obnoxious visitors that is peculiarly his
own, and very effective if not strictly
according to legal hoyle. He had an
early Sunday morning visit from four
St. Marys boys who irritated him to such
an extent that he warned them off his
his preserves and of the impending cy-
clone. They did not take the warning
seriously and Joe let fly with his trusted
shotgun. One of the crowd, Lazarus
Bubt, caught the contents-enough for
all of them-as a local medical fxer
found AZ bird shot in the west end of
the young man going east. Monday Joe
was arrested for neat workmanship, to
which he 'fessed up and was given 81
and costs. We believe he got his mon
ey's worth.

James Staeger, member board town
ship trustees and well known farmer, re-
siding east of town, held the ticket that
called for Henry Obriens pedigreed Du-
roc sow, his gift to the Red Cross, and
recently bid in at auction by number of
Cel1na business men. They conceived
the idea of having her root some more

were sold, each carrying a chance for
the famous rooter-S635 being realized.
Mr.. Staeger proposes to hold the animal
until August, when it will again be of.
fered in some public manner for the
benefit of the Y.M.CA.
To enliven the occasion Saturday two

The long-awaited Austrian often

front of the Italian theater from the
northwest of the Asiago plateau east
ward to the Piave river and thence
along that stream to where it joins
the head waters of the Adriatic sea.
a front of nearly 100 miles.
The Austrian, having made exten-
sive preparations for the drive by
bringing up strong reinforcements in
men and guns, are using them with
out stint in the effort to debouch
from the mountain passes and cross
the Piave river and gain the Venetian
plains.
Everywhere the fighting is of an
extremely sanguinary character, es-
pecially east of the Asiago plateau,
in the Brenta valley, and on the
Monte Grappa. In the initial strug-
gle the enemy succeeded in capturing
several front-line positions in the
mountain region from the British and
also in crossing the Piave. Counter
attacks, however, have restored all
the positions in the mountains, in
cluding territory to a depth of 1000
yards along a 2,5OO-yards front cap
tured from the British. At last ac-
counts TIE allied troops were strong
ly holding the enemy and King Victor
Enmanuel's mems were calamity
striving to throw back the invaders
across the Piave. The Italian have
taken more than 5000 Austrians
prisoners, among them SO officers.
AS yet the Vienna war office has
given only brief mention to the bat
tie, saying that the Austrian armies
had invaded the Settue Comuni plat
eau, lying at an altitude of. S,4OO feet
northwest of Asiago, and that up to
noon Sunday more than 10000 Ital-

Washington, June 19.-Lieutenant
James C. Staley, reserve army OIL
Ger, was arrested in New York on a
charge of accepting money from the
Truefit Raincoat company of New
York for a contract which he prom
ised to procure. The arrest was the
result of the governments pursuit OF
illegal profiteers on war contracts.
The arrest was made by depart

formation which may lead to the de-
lection of other cases of fraud. He
will be tried by a courtmartial.
Officials intimated that other ar
rests may be made soon in connec-
ton with the charges on which four
men are now under indictment here,
conspiracy to violate federal laws
forbidding the subletting of contracts
and payment of contingent fees.
The shadow of completely has ex-
tended to scores of businessmen and
attorneys IN Washington, New York,
Boston and other cities, and even to
a few secretaries of members of con-
gress. These men promised to use
their influence with government Off
cials, army officers or members OF
congress to assure the awarding of
contracts to special concerns, and in
turn were to receive compensation II
the contracts we're landed.
A large number of these cases, dis
closed by correspondence and other
documents seized in the simultaneous
raids on offices of several hundred
manufacturing plants, were not
prompted by sinister motives, Off
cials believe, and prosecutions will
not follow. Many others, however
appear the result of carefully planned
plots to squeeze millions from con
tractors, who in turn were to add the
contingent fees to prices which the
government was required to pay.
Whether many of the contracts
proved tainted with contingent fee
fraud will be repudiated by the gov
ernment Is considered doubtful, in
view of the need for speed TO produc
ing supplies, but 1t is probable that
the amount of the commissions will
be deducted before final payment is
made.
