(ContlMuea on page 8.) 15 Years For "Conscientfous" Objector to War. ; The military court which heard evi- , df'nce in the cases of many alleged! - (.'onscit ntious ohjector.s" who refused to do army duty wlien sent to camps, .¦¦ Mtenced Krank Huck. of North •\Vales, to 2.5 years in the military pris¬ on nt Fort Leavenworth. This wa.s re¬ ii in-ed to l."< years by the president, and lUick will begin serving his sentence at once, fiver since the first registration day. it is said. Buck was opposed to the war and he was one of the last men to register and it was only throu.uh tho persuasin of friends tliat he linallv registered in the First ward of the above horou-h. He wa.-j called for service last fall and the first time he failed to obey the call but finally went to Camp Meade on December 2Stii, where, it is said, he refused to do anv woi'k on accotmt of his scruples against war and everything that per¬ tained to it. He is not a member of any sect recognized by the government as having valid objections against the war and was uiven every opportimity for a change of mind, but he stead¬ fastly adhered to his determination not to be connected with any part of the army en.saged in lighting or to in any manner assist those who are. Buck is well known among the base¬ ball fans along the North Penn. He played with the K. & M. A. A., of Am- i bier, for one season and he was such a ! fighter for victory that it is difficult to understand his change of method with regard to army duty.

The Houstons plan to bring these furnishings to the Chestnut HIU house, if the govern¬ ment accepts their offer. The only son. Lieutenant Henry Howard Houston, 2d. gave his life while serving on the staff of Brigadier General William C. Price, of the Twenty-eighth Division. Mr. Houston is vice president of the Real Estate Trust company. Soldier Is Recovering.

MEETS FRIENDS OVfcR UmANCE Letter from James G. Kiitson, ofi Fort Washingtou. With Base Hospital Preparing, in July,' to Receive Wounded—Comparisons Show Superiority of American En- i ergy—French Credit America With' Saving Their Country. James G. Kittson, son of -Mr. anl Mrs. Louis Kittson, of Fort Wasliing¬ ton, wrlti's as follows frorn Fiance, un- i der date of July 20. He is with the I'. S. army base hospital, .\o. 38, I have just linislied a hard week's work. VVe expect patients in a few days and we liave had a great deal to do. and there is still plenty of work left. We have to linish nearly all of the buildings which are all separate. They are long arul only one story in height. A Frenelj:''firm has been build- | ing them, but the men are tlie slow¬ est workers of any nation I know of. One can see how superior American labor is to the French In every way, and this is the same wherever I have been. We are in a large city, and the cus¬ toms are very peculiar. The streets run in all different directions, and there seems to be no system in the manner In which they are laid out. There are lots of large squares, where i everybody seems to gather. Everyone j walks in the streets, which are very) narrow, and in the centres of the town are all cobble stones. The houses are modern, and there are also fine boule¬ vards on the outskirts of the town, and we are situated on one of these. The weather has been terribly hot all week, but tonight the temperature is very cold and rain is falling. It is very nice to be near Charlie Charlton, Bob Kelly and Norbert' Walker, and I could Imrdly believe my I eyes when I got off the train and sa-w*! Charlie Charlton standin,!? on the plat- , form. I generally see one or the other, ever.v day and t frequently go over* I to see them. They are very busy on account of this last drive. I saw a number of Philadelphia boys over! there who are wounded, but I didn't! recognize any of them. I hope to be! able to go down and see I^eonard I.ieaf ] who is only about 20 miles from ; Nantes. Henry Oberholtzer i.s also right near here. We haven't been paid yet and I don't know how soon we will receive the money. A base hospital from Chicago occupy th» barracks below us. They arrlverl here about a week after we did. There are a number of Germ.an prisoners who work around here. We are not supposed to talk to them. They seem to be contented and are only lightly" guarded. The IT. S. hospital trains are far superior to the P'rench. as we see,] them both |iass nearly evi'ry day. The French use box cars, while the Amer¬ ican cai-;< look like Pullmans. There are lots of American .soldiers in the town, and thev look much bet¬ ter than the French. It doesn't seem as thou.uh 1 am in France, as W'e are- all together, .uul onh when we •.•.o through the town the signs mix us mo. OiuUiH&.ace able tn <rii«»lini»»>i8nfl buy : things, and T don't think it will be longv! before we will he abli- to carry on a j brief conversation in French. t The trolley cars are very queer, and are ruh by women. The fare is two cents, and the cars stop running ,it 8.30 p.m. Nearly everybody drinks wino over here, but the wines are very hit¬ ter and I don't care much for them. Thei-e are little cafes right out on the sidewalks all over town. One sees a few automobiles outside of the Amer¬ ican trucks and machines. Gasoline is only $2 a gallon. Don't forget to send me the "Am¬ bler Gazette" and some Sunday North Americans and Inouirers. We recdve the New York Herald every evenin;,'. but it does not contain much homo news, but it does give the baseball .scores. The French people seem to think that the Americans saved France, an 1 they treat the soldiers with a g-eat deal of respect. We play baseball every Sunday, as Sundav .seems to be the ili.^¦ day. and every idace is open. Called to Naval Reserves. J. Spencer Kite, the receiving teller nt Montgomery National bank. Norvis- town. has been called for active servi.f in the Naval Reserve Force, to report at Cape May. N. J., on Thursday morn¬ ing at 12 o'clock. V, HITPALV AND L. GWYI^EDD.Ijr WEDDED.

Mrs. Miibel Harper Irwin Lever has added a charge of non-support to that of cruel and barbarous treatment con^ tained in her suit for divorce against her husband, former Chief of Polic ¦,- Gideon S. Lever, until recently the, head of the secret service bureau a Hog Island. The non-support charge was to have been heard at the Jenkintown borough hall recently before Justice of the Peace Foy, but no hearing was held. Later Lever stated that the charge will never go hefore the courts, indi¬ cating that a settlement has been agreed upon between him and Mrs ticver. Chief Lever declined to make anv comment on the charce of cruel and barbarous treatment contained in hit- wife's complaint, except to say that hi'^ side would be presented at the hearing before the master. activities including' the JIaple Glen shops.

Miss Florence Ramsey sang the Liberty Loan song in a splen¬ did manner, and there were other chorus songs rendered. Joseph G. Hit¬ ner. one of the large subscribers of the district, delivered an address, and.- remarks were alsii mado bv Chairman Park, who announced that the quotii. of the lower end was .$15,000, but through the efforts of the committee and the generous response of the pub¬ lic the total of $33,700 was purchased by 161 subscribers. The tlag was then unfurled and flung to tho breeze. It contains two stars. The committeo, which may feel justly proud of thn success of its efforts, comprised John B. Park. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Worth, C. W. "VAnilard. Alfred A. Tyson, Mr. and Jlrs. 3. AV. Freas, Miss Susanna L. Walton. Miss Helen Watson and Benjamin P. AA', Park.
