was the celebration by members of
the 26th (Regular) Infantry, the in
structing unit at the camp, of the
eighth anniversary of the oper ing OF
the great counter attack against the
Marine salient where the regiment
led the first division onslaught, as t

Referring to the present peace time
training activities of the camp. where
his son is enrolled, the war secretary
recalled that Major General Leonard
Wood had pioneered the way for the
Plattsburg idea.

In Record Cave-in
Near Wilkesbarre, Pa.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 19-(P)-
Parsons Borough today faced a SER
ious situation as the result of one
of the worst mine cave-ins in the
history of Wyoming Valley.
Two large dwellings, have disap-
peared into the earth and two small
err houses stand on the brink of the
gaping cavern at the Peach Orchard
colliery, ready to topple in with the
slightest disturbance.
The main line of the Delaware and
Hudson Railway was so seriously af-
fected that all train service was
abandoned late yesterday. Delaware
and Hudson trains will use the
tracks of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey from North Willlesbarre
to Miners Mills Junction until the
danger is past. The subsistence start
ed Friday.
Several car loads of lumber dorpped
into the big hole Saturday when q
railroad spur leading to lumber
yard was swallowed by the cave.
Large cracks in the earth and low
rumblings indicate, mining men said.
that the end of the subsistence had
not been reached. Twenty five
houses are In the danger zone. Thir-
ty-flre families have been forced to
move from the area and others were
prepared to do so a. a moments no.
tlce. The affected district is about a
quarter of mile from the borough's
main thoroughfare.
The houses that fell into the cave
were unoccupied, the families hav-
ing deserted them several weeks ago
when the first cave-in occurred at
the Peach Orchard mine.
Pillar robbing is alleged to have
been the causes of subsistence.
