Private William L. Miller, one of our
Shepherdstown boys who had been in
active service in the American Army
for the past ten months, returned home
last Friday night He had gotten back
to the United States the previous week
on the ship Leviathan, and after the
usual preliminaries he was hOnorably
discharged at Camp Lee. He was
happy to be home again and his family
and friends rejoiced to greet him in his
old home town. Private Miller saw
real fighting He went to the front
the latter part of September, and from
that time until the armistice, was sign
ed he was never out of range of the
big guns He was in the October
drive in the Argonne Forest, where his
company and regiment lost many men.
He escaped wounds, but his company
got into a gaS-infecGed woods which
made them very sick for time, and
later he had to go to the hospital. He
knows what it means TO be under shell
fire and to be a target for machine
guns, and many a night he slept on the
ground without shelter while the rain
poured down in torrents. He saw the
real hardshipS of war, and is thankful
that he has lived to come back to homa
and friends. Among the unpleasant
incidents he experienced was the har
rowing death of the lieutenant of his
company, who was blown to pieces by
a Hun shell, and the death within half
hour of the sergeant in charge, who
was also instantly killed. Private
Miller expects to take a good long rest
at his home here.

NOTES OF OUR SOLDIERS.

A thrilling story comes from France
concerning the death of Lieutenant
Paris Carlisle, of Milford, Delaware, a
gallant young officer of the 3l9th Reg
iment of the American Army. He was
a brother of Miss Elizabeth Carlisle,
who has occasionally visited the fanli-
ly Of the editor of the Register in Shep-
herdstown, and was one of the most
popular young men Of his home town,
Milford. Bright and talented and hap
py of disposition, he was loved by all
who knew him, and when he joined the
army and went into the service his
fellow-officers and the men under him
simply adored him for the charming
qualities he displayed and his I'M
failing cheerfulness and thoughtful
ness. During fight in the village of
Nantillois a German shell exploded
about two hundred yards from Lieu
tenant Carlisle, and a splinter from il
struck tree, glanced and hit the gal
liant young soldier and killed him in
stantly. His men were Mortified and
his commanding officer, Captain Ien-
kins, who loved him dearly, became
frantic with rage and excitement. With
pistol in each hand he went after the
Germans and killed ffty-one of them
himself-his victims were actually
counted. AS he shot them down one
after another he would shout, There's
another one for you, Paris" He came
upon group of six German officers,
one of whom recognized him and calico
out, Hello, Jenkins" Captain Jen-
kinS replied with a shot that killed the
Hun and yelled, "There's another one
for you, Parisw Inside of two min
uteS he had killed the six officers. He
only desisted from his deadly onslaught
when there were no more of the enc
my in sight, and could hardly be re-
strained by the men of his company
from following the Huns further. The
men of the 3l9th Regiment all loved
Carlisle, and even those of the 320th
were continually asking about "the
lieutenant with the glasses and the hap
py smile" The facts above related
were told to DR.. Carlisle, the youna
officers father, by Sergeant-Major
Hamilton, who was with Lieutenant
Carlisle almost continuously from the
time he entered the service. He was
visited at Braddock, Pa, by DR.. Car
Isle, who made the journey in order TO
get the particulars OF MS son death.
Lieutenant Carlisle was buried where
he fell in France, and DER him now the

Corporal Ira T. Lowe, son of Mr..
and Mrs. E. J. Lowe, of ShepherdStown,
has returned to his nome in this place,
after faithful service with the Amerl-
can Army in France. He was muster
ed out at Camp Lee last Wednesday
Corporal Lowe was among the first of
the drafted men to leave Shepherds
town, and he spent ABOUT nine months
in service abroad. He was in the tank
corps and had some exciting expert
enceS in fighting the Huns in Flanders
On one occasion the tank he was help
ing to operate was struck by she'll and
one side knocked in, but he fortunately
escaped serious injury. He is glad TO
be back home again.
Word has been received from Cap
tain H. Baylor Reinhart that he ex-
poets to return to the United States in
the near future, probably this month
or next. Captain Reinhart, who as an
officer Of the Regular Army was in the
fercest fighting in France for months,
had some remarkable experiences dur
ing the great war. He has had enough
of the life, however, and expects IN
resign from the service and follow the
gentler pursuits of PEACEFUL times.
Mrs. Blanch Stubs, coIored, has re-
ceived from her husband, Andre"
Stubs, some beautiful souvenirs from
France. Andrew was among the first
soldiers from this section to go TO
France, and he writes that he expects
to get home within the next couple OF
months.
Homer Hamrick, son of Mr.. and Mrs
R. ]. Hamrick, of this place, is home
again, having gotten his honorable dis
charge from the army. He served in
the ordnance department of the army
and was in France most Of last year
George Springer and James w.
Lucas, two soldiers from this neigh
borhood who have been in France, have
gotten back home and will be released
from the service at Camp Sherman,
Ohio.
Charles C. Triplett, formerly of this
place, has returned from France after
ten months service overseas. He will
take treatment at Walter Reed Hos
pital, Washington, it is said, for shell
shock.
Mrs. Margaret Potts Williams has
received cablegram from her hus-
band, Captain Howard Williams, that
he has sailed from France and will
probably reach home the coming week

Another Good Roads Plan.

The people of Sharpsburg, Keedys.
vile and Boonsboro are making {
strenuous effort 10 have the county
| commissioners of Washington county
purchase the Boonsboro and Sharps-
burg turnpike, extending from Boons-
boro to the river bridge at Shepherds
town, with the view of having il I'M
proved ultimately by the State Road
Commission as a part of Maryland S
splendid system of State roads. The
road is nine miles in length and passes
through the most fertile section Of
Washington county and the historic
Antietam battlefield. The turnpike
company asked $4,000 for the road,
and the commissioners refused to pay
this amount, though large delegation
of citizens waited upon them in Ha-
gerstown last week and urged the pur-
chase. Friday night public meeting,
which was attended by the commits
sioners, was held in Sharpsburg, and
the company offered $4,000. Neither
side seemed willing to yield, and the
meeting ended in a deadlock, though
the turnpike company finally reduced
its price to $1,000.
1t is hoped the matter may yet be
adjusted and that the county will buy
the road and remove the three toll
gates thereon. 1t is said that the
State Commission will improve the
road if the county will give the road TO
it for this purpose.
We hope that this plan for remov
ing the toll-gates and improving this
road may be successful. Jefferson
county has designated the road from
Shepherdstown 10 Charles Town and
thence to Berryville for improvement
as a Class A road under the West Vir-
ginia law, and if the nne-mile gap
between Boonsboro and ShepherdStown
shall be improved, it would mean
splendid connection between the Mary
land State roads and the famous Valley
turnpike of Virginia, which is now un-
der the care of the State Of Virginia
and not toll-gate upon il. More
over, both Maryland and West Viz
ginia have taken legislative action
looking TO the purchase of the river
bridges across the Potomac river be-
tween these States, and this will
eventually result in making them free
to the travelling public.
Later information brings the crafty
ing news that the Washington county
commissioners have agreed to pur-
chase the road at $4,000 and have
passed the following resolution definite
ly settling the matter:
"Resolved, That the county commits
sionerS purchase the rights and fran,
chises of the Boonsboro and SharpS-
burg Turnpike Company in ana to the
BoonSboro and SharpSburg turnpike,
from BoonSboro to the Potomac river,
at and for the sum of $4,000, payment
to be made on July I, 1919, out of the
1919 levy, the gates to be taken of ana
the pike thrown open to the public
travel, free, on the first day of May,
1919, the toll-houSes not TO be included
in this purchase"
This is the best Of news, and it is
further stated that Washington coun-
tvs allotment of Federal aid, amount
ing to $4,000. will be spent in making
this road equal to the best in Maryland.
The people of all this section will be
gratihed at the action taken. Now let
lis make every effort TO improve the
road from Shepherdstown to Charles
Town
