Mother Learns How
Son Lost His Life
Additional Information Received
on Death of Pfc. Russell

Additional information on the sink
ing Of the troopship on which Pfc.
Russell ID. Cresse was a passenger, as
a result Of which he lost his life, has
been received by his mother, Mrs.
Emma X. Gnegy, Of Eglon. w. Va.
Mrs. Gnegy received some informa-
ton last January in which it was dis
closed that the ship was struck while
a convoy in the Mediterranean sea.
but the name of the ship and the To-
cation were withheld.
Maj. Gen. Edward F. WitselI, acting
adjutant general of the army, dis
closes in recent letter that reports
received by the war department state
that Pfc. Cresse "lost his life when
the British troopship, the Rohna, on
which he was passenger, was sunk.
The ship was attacked by enemy air
craft on November 26, 1913, off
Djidjelli, Algeria, and sank within one
and one-half hours after being hit.
Bomb damage, supplemented by heavy
seas, and darkness which hampered
rescue work, resulted in the loss of
1918 men, more than half the total
of the 1881 American military person
mel aboard"
Pfc. Cresse was radio operator
for the army air force.

New Marygold Potato
Tops Early Varieties

The Marygold potato, new yellow
heshed early tuber developed by DR..
r. A. Jehle of the University of Mary
land and Dr. F. J. Stevenson of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, out
yielded by a wide margin the three
other early and mid-season varieties
on test in Garrett County experiments
this year.
According to DR.. Jehle, State Plant
Pathologist at the University, Mary
gold was outstanding in both sprayed
and unsprayed fields, but as with
other varieties the yield in the field
sprayed for control Of blight and
other potato pests was far the larger.
Sprayed Marygolds yielded 263
bushels Of No. l potatoes to the acre,
well ahead of the 204-bushel yield of
the standard early variety Irish Cob
bier. Katahdin produced PIP bushels,
and Pawnee 222 bushels to the acre
in the same test.
Unsprayed MarygoId plots produced
140 bushels of No. 1 tubers per acre,
Irish Cobbler 81 bushels, Katahdin 101
bushels, and Pawnee 112 bushels. This
points out the high yield of the new
Yellow-feshed potato, and also shows
the consistent value of spraying po-
tatoes for higher yield. Spraying
every week or ten days usually adds
at least 100 bushels to an acre to the
yield of the spud crop in Garrett
County, says DR.. Jehle.
Consumer tests and preference are
now being run, says DR.. Jehle, to see
how we'll housewives like the new
Marygold variety. At present not
enough seed stock is available to per
nit large paintings.

Newspaper Carries
Complaint on Road
Around Flood Dam
People in Markleysburg-Fr
vile Area Becoming Angered
By Condition of Highway

The Daily Courier of Connellsville,
Pa, in its issue of September 81, car
ries a complaint of motorists who use
the former "river road" from SOmer-
field, Pa, to Friendsville. They claim
it is impossible upon many occasions.
the article follows:
The Federal Government, the State
of Maryland and the commissioners of
Garrett county, Md, are the targets
of mounting wrath of motorists who
are forced to use the route construct
ed to replace the former "river road"
from Somerfield, Pa, to Friendsville,
Nd.
Although virtually all the new road
has been improved, there is stretch
of approximately one mile that be-
comes almost impossible in any kind
of wet weather. During the past week,
with its steady downpour the single
mile has developed into a huge mud
hole, trapping a number of automo-
biles.
The new road was built after the
Federal Government condemned land
all along the Yough River preparatory
to constructing flood control dam at
Confluence. The "river road" had to be
relocated to provide a route to
Friendsville.
The Pennsylvania end of the road
has been completed 1t is a good, hard
surfaced highway. In Maryland the
road is passable between Friendsville
to a point near where it crosses Mill
run. The final mile, between the creek
and the state line, becomes a quag-
mire with even the slightest rain. The
mile is without base little more
than the grading having been done.
Last winter it was closed for weeks,
shutting off mail delivery
Residents Of the community who
must take long, roundabout detOurs to
and from Friendsville in wet weather
are JloIIlilllS W OISdlIL6 d movement
to 'break open" the reasons behind
the delay in construction. For some
reasons, it is pointed out, the dirt sec
ton has never even been cindercd in
an effort to make it passable. Scrap
ers levelled deep ruts during the past
summer but no provision for drainage
was made with the result that the low
portions Of the route become "bot-
tomless pits" after a heavy rain.
Despite the fact that the flood con-
troll dam has not yet been used to i'm
pound water, it is impossible to use
the former "river road" because in
Maryland it has not been kept in re-
pair. At one point in that state the
entire highway has been destroyed by
slide, most of it slipping into the
Youghiogheny River.

Sgt. Erwin Smith, Jr.,
Has Enviable Record

Master Sergeant Erwin Smith, Jr.,
has returned to the United States
efter twenty-one months of overseas
duty, having established an enviable
record during combat with the fourth
armorcd division Of Gen. Patton's
Third army.
He returned to the states on Sep
tember 16, and has been visiting his
wife, the former Mary Lyle Glotfelty,
and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin
S. Smith. He returned to Fort Meade
on Monday and is scheduled to re-
ceiye an honorable discharge from the
service this week.
Sgt. Smith IS created with five
battle stars, and was also awarded
the Bronze Star medal, the good con-
duct ribbon, the presidential citation,
and a certificate of merit.
After leaving England he was in
combat in France, Belgium, LuXem-
bourg, Germany and Czechoslovakia,
and was also with the army of occu-
patton for several months.
His citation covers the period July
II, 1914, to March II, 1915, during
which time he was message center
sergeant. 1t says; His work both
under enemy fire and during more
stable situations has set an unsurpas-
sable example. From August 1 to
September Is, 1914, he also was bat
talon stenographer and through his
untiring efforts he created himself a
valuable asset to his organization.
His spirit Of leadership and devotion
to duty reflects the highest credit on
himself and the traditions of the
