Town Buys No
Liberty Bonds
LANCASTER, Pa., Oct. 15.— This
county ot plain sects atul conscientious
objectors includes probably the only
hamlet in the country where a liber
ty Rond has not been sold nor a war
saving stamp disposed of.
Five miles eact of New Holland
there rises a bushy, scrubby hill, gen
erally known as Welsh mountain be
cause of its settlers, and now inhab
ited by about 50 familes of negroes.
It was there that Abe Buzzard and
his cohorts took refuge when state
officers years ago attempted to round
up the notorious horse thieves that
were roving eastern Pennsylvania,
Crude stone monuments still stand as
markers of spots where battles with
the constables were fought.
The negroes are now under spiritual
care of a Mennonite minister, and a
small mission has been established
atop the mountain. But booze and
congenial tendencies still combine to
create lawlessness, and the state con
stables periodically are called to es
tablish order.
Bugouts in the side of the moun
tain, made by the horse thieves when
first they sought refuge among the
underbrush of the hillsides are still
used as dwellings by the negroes of
the present day. The only regular
Income the villagers have is the mon
ey paid them at the mission for broom
making and carpet weaving. These
trades were learned by many of the
inhabitants while they were “doing
time."
They haven't given anything to as
sist in financing (he war.
Nobody ever thought it worth whilt
to call upon them for a subscription

“Kewie” Is Rare
Bird in Army of
Uncle Samuel
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCK, Sept. 11!. —(by mail).—There
, are birds and birds among American
, birdmen along the front. One is a
rare specimen, the "kewie” bird.
A "kewii)” bird is a chap who tiles
little, but always comes back with a
tale of terrible lighting whenever ho
gets Into his machine.
•■We call such dyers kewie birds,"
explained one of the real birdmen who
! never talks of himself, "because the
kewie is a bird inhabiting I he shores
I of Newfoundland. It always tlaps its
wings and spuawks a lot but never
rises from Hie earth."
A plan never remains a "kewie"
long among I'nele Sam s dyers I hex
won't stand for the kewie's squawks."
TP., "l. -'.vi " i- soon "ridden to death"
with derision, and ceases to talk
There are seldom "kexvies" in the
ax iation ( amps especially among the
men w ho dy much. Most aviators are
modes! to tile extent of tw ing basilful.
ami while they will always tell xvhrt
the other fellow did. their own ex
periences can be hardly pried out of
them.
They'd rather be shot down by a
lloche than be a "kewte bird."

DOUGHBOYS
GATHERING
SOUVENIRS
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
i FRANCE, Sept. 16. (by mail) The
1 American army is gradually being
populated with Roche dogs.
At the same time the United States
soon will be thickly populated with
; Roche helmets.
The fighting American is just as
earnest in his souvenir hunting as the
peaceful American. Practically every
doughboy, therefore whether from
town or country made it a point to
pick up a Roche helmet somewhere
during his advance from the Marne
to the Yesle. The German soldiers
cast aside the heavy helmets in their
retreat, and they were scattered all
over the Marne valley, on and across
the Ourcq to the Yesle. lly pasting
the address oil the hat together with 1
forty cents postage, the American
fighting man cun send his sweetheart
or mother a souvenir direct from the
battlefield. And all of them have ,
1 done it or are doing it.
About the dogs. The Roche left
them behind, just as he did the hoi j
mots. When the Americans entered
1 Rouvardes, Sergy, (Merges, and var- '
| ions other towns, they found the dogs
j lurking about in the cellars and dug
' outs their late masters had been driv
j en from. A dog can't help being of
Roche descent, so the doughboys don’t
| hold against him the fact that he Is
{ Roche. The deserted dogs were fed.
They quickly made friends with the
Americans and were adopted by var
ious companies. The dogs now' are
just as good democrats as they were
autocrats. Each bears some sort of
a German name. A chaplain has a
little black dasehund he calls "Min
nie." The after part of her name is j
"Werfer.”
