PLANKS BEHEAD
MAN IN CAR

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. o.
planks, set up as a barrier across
q r1ewly-built strip of road inter
secting Easton Road, near Hor-
sham, virtually beheaded a Phila-
delphian when 4 car in which he
was riding hit the obstruction.
The victim of the unusual acct
dent was Joseph Hun1inell, ~,
52B West Lycomif1g st., who was
returning to the city from q
party.
The p1anks tore er1dwise
through the windshield of; the
machine, their butts striking
Hummell In the neck and face
with great force.
He died instantly, but his
driver friend did not realize this
and brought the body hurriedly
to Samaritan Hospital here, pass
ing three other hospitals on the
way.
The driver, Adolph Holler, Al, ,
OF 5433 Oakland st., Frankford,
later was arrested and held with
out bail, pending an ir1nlesba by
Coroner George Huff at Arlington.
Holler told police that he saw
no lights set about the obstruc.
ton and caught no glimpse Of 1t
in the rain which was failing at
the time.
Holler declared the two p1anks,
which had been mounted on two
high saw-horses, tore through the
back of the car top after killing
Hu11rnel and were carried 400
yards down the road, where
Holler stopped the machine, pulled
them loose and threw them
alongside the road. +
The two men were dressed in
tramp costumes which had won
them prizes at the masquerade
party they had attended mt the
Bakers Club. q mile north of
HorSham.
Hummel Is survived by q wife
and two sons. He had the un-
usual experience on May 8 of dis
covering the three children who
had been murdered on that date
at 1855 FairhilI ST., by their
father, Peter Thomas, a plasterer
who went then to the Jewish
Hospital, where his wife was q
patient, shot her and then killed
himself.

DISTRICT BUYS
HOTEL FOR
S585,000 .

Plans for the Districts munich
pal center, which Is to border on
lower Pennsylvania Avenue on the
north side yesterday made their
most substantial advance so far
when the District Commissioners
announced approval Of the pro.
posed purchase Of the old Ma
tIonal Hotel for $5S0,0O0,
The landmark probably viii be
rASed next year at the expiration
of leases which are in force until
September 80, 1881.
The offer the Commissioners
approved was made by the prest-
dent of the National Hotel Com.
paf1y, Geroge H. Calvert, jr., and
the directors of his company, and
on the District side it was nego-
tiated through Major l.. e. At
kins, Assistant Engineer Commis,
sioner. s.
The offer Of the company to
sell out oil improvements on two
lots, together comprising 38,
square feet, Is considered reason
able, Major Atkins said in his
report.

much patronized by members OF

French WRECK
Worthless !.
FORT :. :.

The pick and crowbar and
crane are busy these days wreck
ing the forts surrounding Msu-
beuge, France, which made that
city supposedly one of Frances,
'impregnable" fortresses. Theistory
Of the towns massive fortifina.,
,tions and how the world War:
proved them worthless Is told In
a bulletin from the headquarters
Of the National Geographic So
ciety. -
!, "Maubeuge lies almost on a dfs
rect line between Paris and Rrlisz
sells and just three miles within
the French border" says the bull
letin. "1t was recognized long ago
as q strategic point at which to
obstruct the advance of hostile
forces striking for the north
toward the French capital. 4
Was an Entrenched Camp ),
I'm. the days of Louis XVI
fortress building was the most inn.
portant of military activities.
The times produced Vauban, At
one time the worlds master for
tress builder and besieger. lie
constructed a chain Of fortresses
across northern France and con.
sidered Maubauge one of the
most important.
"Vaubat's most valuable legacy
to military engineers who came
after him. was the 'entrenched
cannp'-a> great central fortress
rtnged around with detached
forts. The Franco-PruBsiaY1 war
OF 1870 emphasized anew the i'm.
portance of Maubeuge, and after
the conflict France made the
place striking example of thu
'entrenched camp The principle
was carried even further at
Verdin.
Held Out Eleven Days
Even on the outbreak of the
world war in 1914 it was thought
that ,Maubeuge would stand like
q rock Stemming the enemy adj
vance. But Maubeuge was built
TO combat gunpowder, and the
terrific detonations of Liege and
;Namur, where huge German
siege guns poured tons of high
explosives on other .'impregnable'
forts, sounded the doom not only
OF Maubeuge but of all, similar
fortresses.
After the fall of the Belgian
forts came the battle and retreat
or Mons. Mons lies only is
miles north of Maubeuge and the
retreat passed the fortress and
left 1t like an island In the ad-
Vancing German stream. With
Its 10000 men Maubeuge was able
to hold out against the devastat-
ing high explosives for only al
days. This delay was OF great
service to the Allies, for it con-
centrated German artillery and
kept it out of use elsewhere and
also blocked am Important rail-
way needed for German supplies.
Mobility Latest Slogan
+ But the price was too high to
pay, and now modern military
engineers believe that they have
developed a defensive system
more efficient than that of Vau-
ban and his school. Mobility is
the latest slogan. In the place OF
fixed forts of Maubeuge and SINH
lar fortresses, the present day de-
fender will pin his faith to great
guns mounted on railway car
riages, which can pour out high
explosives from one location to-
day and another tomorrow. This
mobile system is used by the
United States in some Of its i'm
portant coast defenSes."

Puppeteers Tomorrow
Mr.. Burnett Is Coming Here With
His Marionettes

The Yale Puppeteers, gradu-
ates of the Yale theatre directed
by George Pierce Baker, will
give their marionette show in
the Playmakers Theatre twice
tomorrow Saturday, at 3 in
the afternoon and at $50 in the
evening.
Harry Burnett, who began his
work with puppets at the Uni
versity of Michigan, is director
of the troupe, and he is assisted
by Forman Brown. The young
men, with their puppets and
their stage, go about the country
in a Ford car. They have had
remarkable success with their
performances in New England
the West; they are now in the
South for the first time.
Part of the program is the
"Puppet Revue" which permits
the introduction of great va
riety of figures with the inter
spersing of musical numbers.
Ideas collected on a pilgrimage
to study puppetry in Italy have
contributed to the perfection of
Mr.. Burnett's show.
Tickets, priced at so and rs
cents, are on sale at Sutton's
drugstore.
