PRESIDENT'S MAIL IS SORTED WITH SYSTEM

Corps of Clerks Open Letters, Give First Reading and Attach Brief Notations. Washington, D. C. —The President's mall is of such proportions that he can not, like a business man, read all his letters as a part of the morning’s routine. By a carefully developed system, however, the contents of the White Houae mall are In substance laid before him each day. The work of doing this falls upon a corps of confidential clerks, who open the letters and give them a first reading. Then they are carefully sorted. Many of them, of course, need not go to the President at all, since they are simply recommendations for office, hese, after courteus acknowedgment, are referred to the proper departments and placed on file until they may be taken up for consideration. Many of the President’s letters are purely formal, or contain requests for something which can not be granted. These the clerks answer and the President's secretary signs. The requests for charity are so many that a special “form” has been drawn up for answering them. Such communications as the President ought to see are carefully briefed —that is a slip is pinned at the top of each letter, and on this Is a typewriten synopsis of its contents, telling who the writer is and what he has to present

ASH BARREL AND DESK WIN IN BIG LAND SUIT

Eighty- Ysar-Old Records Fix Boundary of Stats Correctly, Says Court. Pittsburgh, Pa.—After twenty years of litigation in the federal and state courts the Supreme Court of the United States has rendered a decision in favor of the Babcock Lumber and Land Company, of this city, giving that corporation full title to 10,100 acres of the finest timber land in Tennessee and North Carolina, said to be worth about 4600,000. Incidentally, in the course of the trying of this case and other suits that resulted from it, the boundary line between the States of North Carolina and Tennessee was established, and although this boundary line was the same as that placed on the many maps circulated between 1821 and the time of the decision, nothing of a documentary nature to prove Its correctness existed during that time. In 1821 the question of the boundary line dividing the two States was brought to the attention of the governors of the commonwealths. A survey was made, a map waa drawn and field notes were written. What became of these nobody had any idea until a few years ago, when the map was found in an ash barrel in the cellar of the State Hoase in Nashville, and shortly afterward the notes wars found in an old dev*, where tney had remained hidden 80 years. The suit was decided on these records

11 PIGS ALL BORN WITH TUSKS

Smith, in Wishhart township, was in town recently and reported a litter of pigs at his place all born with tusks abodt three-quarters of an in eh long. There were eleven plgfis in the litter and every one of them had tusks from two to three on each side. Mr. Bundy broke off the tasks with a pair of pliers end the pigs are doing fine. In every other way the pigs are perfectly normal. Some account for this unusual 00eurence—though similar occurrences have been reported during the past few year*—by crossing broods; htough

Bravest on Earth, He Calls Belgians

Most Badly Wounded of Albert's Men Just “Grin and Bear It,* ' Says Surgeon

That the Belgian army, though greatly reduced la numbers, is still to the fore In the most desperate of the hand-to-hand encounters with the Invaders of their country, and that they are unexcelled for absolute pluck and daring, Is shown in a letter from a British medical officer engaged In the removal of Belgian wounded from a port on the French coast to England. The letter was reproduced in a recent Issue of The Edinburgh Scotsman as follows:

"Wo were pitchforked on board a Belgian hospital ship to carry wounded Belgians to Southampton. Ws ware a busy party—four doctors, two nurses and twenty rattling good chaps of the Royal Army Medical Corps. My word, we did work. Thera wars 40S wounded Belgians that trip, and out of that number 230 were cases on stretchers. Soma of them were terribly injured and we dealt with them on the way over.

"One ™k", a Major, had ten shrapnel bullets In each leg, causing compound fractures. The wounded were a par ti«nt lot They are most wonderful fellows, the Belgians. I think they must be about the bravest chaps on earth. You never hear a groan or a from any of them, hey just grin and bear it, poor devils. "You people at home can not possibly realize what war la like. 1 know I didn't till 1 came out here, but I know now. The need for establishing new hospital accommodation as the fighting moves backward or forward will be recognized, and you will understand how it is that we must be ready to be pitchforked anywhere at a moment’s notice and even to find patients from the fighting line awaiting os. That happened once. And to see the poor chaps (Belgians) In the streets, with nowhere to sleep, and no grab, and some of them almost collapsed with exhaustion —and one man helping another —would almost make you cry. That didn’t last long. We had a good hospital going In. no time at all, but It was one of the things which most happen in war.

"On a subsequent voyage with three hundred patients we had a fearful passage owing to a storm. Half the staff went down seasick and nearly all the wounded. It was an awful time for the poor beggars. And there we were, grabbing here and there and sliding around and helping them all we could. Bnt we landed them all right, and not a death. How’s that? No deaths out of 700 taken over in two journeys. I was a proud, proud lad. We all were."

FRENCH TRENCHES IN GEARMAN STYLE

Lieutenant of Engineers Concedes the Kaiser’s Defenses are Buperlor to All Others Paris (by mail).—French military man era willing to admit In private they have learned many lessons from the Germans. Few, however, are as frank as a Lieutenant of Engineers Interviewed In Paris. •*1 have been engaged since the beginning of the war,” he said, “in constructing second line trenches, on which the allied forces ckn fall back In the event of repulse. At first we dug our trenches in accordance with plans that had been carefully worked out by the war department and were believed to be the last word in the sapper's art But after a few of the German defenses had been captured we began to ask ourselves whether we had ever known our business. The German trenches were infinitely superior to ours. They were at the same him elaborate and simple—elaborate in the protection they afforded the men who had to defend them, yet easy to construct when one had acquired the knack. A notable feature was the system of wooden supports, which made possible the excavation of subterranean chambers for the bousing of officers aad wounded. “We were not flattered, I can assure you, to find how badly we had been beaten at oqr own game. But we decided to pat oar pride In oar pockets and get the fall benefit of the object lesson that tha fortunes of war spread before our eyes. We commenced to the German trenches slavishly. Today the French army from one end of the line to the other is digging Its trenches a la Kaiser, fighting behind Teutonic earthworks, and the result has been a decrease in casualties. “Bat this scientific war of molee has lad to a deadlock. Ido not see bow in «h«ii aver be able to drive the enemy from their positions or how they can dislodge as. The loss of life to the attacking forces would be too great. 1 believe that when the time is ripe the Allies will commence a voluntary retreat. The Germans will pursue os and battle will be delivered in the open country. Fighting on our own soil, we should win. as we did at the battle of the Marne. That is the only way in which the present intoler able situation can be ended." The same officer confirmed the rumors to the effect that the Germans »»fa prepared military defenses in nance before the war. *T l*ave seen many gun platforms,” he said, “on property teat had been acquired by tee Germane. On the promises gt a roust company we found a series of tranches at least a year old. They were on the line od the Genua advance on Paris.”

HANGING GROVE.

Mrs. Chas. Stultz has been on the sick list for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell and family took dinner with Charles Bussell and family Sunday. Quite a number from here attended the sacred concert and vesper services at Rensselaer Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. George Parker attended the funeral of Chas. Parker’s daughter at Remington Sunday. The commencement exercises at McCoysburg Saturday night were good. The themes were all given and for naming the best speaker, that would be difficult to decide. However, Iva Poole and Garry Snedeker delivered their themes with probably the most ease of any of the graduates. But all were good and their parents and friends will be glad to see them each go on with their school work and make noble men and women of themselves.

No more arrests have been made at McCoysburg on the warrants sworn out last week. However, some more will likely come soon. The state, township and community does not want these men’s money, but simply want them to act like men and have respect for themselves and the community. After taking out for the state and township from the fine and costs of Becker’s case, Squire Bussell turned his portion over to the store keeper to the credit of the Becker family, only to be traded out by members of the family. Thus impressing upon men that it is not their money we want, but good behavior. Mrs. Wm. B. Walters gave a surprise picnic dinner yesterday for her husband, the occasion being his 42d birthday. Mrs. Walters’ father, Z. T. McMurray and family, of Kniman, Mr. and Mrs. A. McMurray and family, of Sheldon, 111., and a number from Rensselaer were in attendance.
