Is a good starting place for a tour
of the park, since you can see prac-

Telescopes with pointers will orient
you to many Valley Forge land
marks which you will see later at
closer range.
On a hill which overlooks a vast
expanse of land in the direction of
Philadelphia an equestrian statue
of Mad" Anthony Wayne stands.
Anthony Wayne was a local boy
who made good at Valley Forge.
He was born in the adjoining county.
His 1st Pennsylvania Brigade was
encamped on the hill where his
statue now is, guarding the approach
from the British at Philadelphia.
Near the statue are two cabins, the
smaller of which is replica of the
huts built by Washington men.
Small as it is, this hut housed IL
men. It, and thousands like it. were
built by the men themselves during
the first month of the encampment.
1t was during this month of build
ing that suffering was most intense,
for the men had practically no
shelter whatsoever. After the huts
were built, only one or two men
could 60 out at time because there
were not enough clothes to 90
around, They had to forage over
the hills for food in the manner
of wolves.
Near this restored hut is one about
three times as large, which is a
replica of an officers hut. Eighteen
officers lived in nut whose floor
space was about the size of the bed

"just to get look at the hills and
valleys AS we stood atop the
l00-foot-high observation tower on
Mount JOY, I asked him the mean
ing behind the names of the two
highest points in the park-Mount
Joy and Mount Misery. He said,
Now you're getting over into his
tory, I don't know much about that.
l just come up to look at the hills
and valleys"
He went on to say that that
morning he had taken the trouble
(although you could tell that it had
been pleasure) of showing a lady
around the scenic points of Valley
Forge, This lady had driven up all
the way from Baltimore just to
take in the beauty of the place" I
thought that must make quite an
important parsonage of me, who had
driven up all the way from Wash
ington.
One-Day Trip.
But, of course, it did not, for it is
simple thing to drive from Wash
ington to Valley Forge and back in
day. It is less than a 30O-mile
round trip no matter which of sew
eral route variations you take. On
the way up I suggest using, as I
did, the new Gov. Nice Dual High
way east of Baltimore. This is
marked U. S. No. 40 and the best
way to get on it is to follow U. S. /
up Monroe street to Franklin street
and then turn right. Do not make
the mistake of turning right on
Fayette street, which is the old
route 4o Franklin street is five
blocks north of Fayette 1t has no
street car tracks, it bridges the rail-
road tracks and it is a direct fast
route across town. To your ques-
tions as to bypass around Balti-
more, the only answer at present is
that there is none, but that the
Franklin street route is the best way
yet devised for motoring through
Baltimore
The dual highway runs almost to
Havre de Grace, where the queer,
double e-decked bridge now in use on
the Susquehanna is being replaced
by new structure designed to carry
the dual highway across. From
Havre de Grace to North East, U S.
40 is just an ordinary road carrying
an extraordinarily heavy load of
traffic-a combination not generally
conducive to pleasurable driving.
But it is a very short distance to
North East, where you leave the
crowded highway for local road

that extends well into Pennsylvania

products on the average are not much

the Millard Preparatory School. 1918
N street NV, pleaded not guilty to
an assault charge and demanded a
jury trial when arraigned before
Police Court Judge Walter j. Casey

Rule Projecting Draftees
From Eviction in Effect

No default judgments against ten
ants are to be granted in the Land
lord and Tenant Branch of Munich
pal Court unless plaintiff landlords
supply sworn statements that ten
ants sued are not in the military
service under a procedure placed in
effect by Presiding Judge George
c. Aukam this week.
This measure, designed to protect
soldiers and draftees, requires that
writs of restitution granted in cases
in which tenants do not appear in
court to defend eviction proceedings
be held up until the sworn state
ments are filed with George Rob-
erts, an assistant clerk in charge
Of landlord and tenant processes.
It is expected this step, taken un-
der an act Of Congress Of Septem-
Der is, providing safeguards for men
called for military training, will be
followed soon by approval Of new
form of process giving protection to
the conscriptees.

Senate Probes
West Virginia
Absentee Votes
Charge Is Linked
With Washington
BuIIot Bureau

Charges that hundreds Of Wash
ington residents were voting illegally
in West Virginia today were under
the scrutiny of the Senate Campaign
Committee, which repeatedly was
directing particular attention to
three counties in the district repre-
sented by Representative Randolph,
chairman of the House District
Committee
Announcing yesterday that in
vestigators had been directed to
check the complaints, Senator Gill
lette, Democrat, of Iowa, chairman
of the committee, said in a state
ment that they included charges
that in many precincts in the State,
registration lists greatly exceeded in
number of voters the total census
returns for these precincts, includ-
ing alien, children and other nom
voters"
Senator Holt, Democrat, of West
Virginia expressed belief that the
charges are true, and said he hoped
they would be gone into thoroughly.
10 De Cnecke0 mere.
The three counties named spe-
cifically are Jefferson, Berkeley and
Morgan, and Senator Gillette said
that list of names for 900 absentee
ballots in Jefferson would be checked
here with a view to determining
whether such persons actually exist
and whether or not they are resi-
dents and qualified voters in the
precincts where the ballots have
been or are to be cast" 1t was added
that the charge was made that
these names are secured and handled
through what is called a ballot
bureau here"
The statement also referred to
documentary evidence" that large
numbers" of voters fail to give all
the information as to residence re-
quired for absentee voting.
Confers With Gillette.
Calvert L. Estill, newspaperman
from Charleston, W. Va, conferred
with Senator Gillette prior to the

vestigators would go into the State.
The Iowa Senator said other West

situation.
The committee also went into
charges that material from the In
dependent Willkie Committee of One
Million had been distributed to en-
ployes of the General Accounting
Office, and their membership in the
organization urged. but Senator Gill
lette said there was no apparent
law violation.
