When these approvals are obtained the solicitor must take the plans to New York and have them approved by the solicitor and engineers of the Lehigh Valley Railroad on questions of clearance over the tracks and encroachments on the right of way. Then bids will be asked for the construction of the viaduct. MAT BE TAKEN UP, Washington, May HI.

TO INVMATE FALL OF AIRSHIP Washington, May 31. Secretary of War Weeks today ordered that an investigation be made by the Inspector General of the army into the fall of the converted hospital airship last Saturday.

which resulted in the death Tils Pittston Rotarians had the distinguished honor today of having as their guest at their Memorial Day luncheon meeting Gen. Ashr Miner, who was commander of the Luzerne county regiment, the 109th Field Artillery, during its service overseas. He was given enthusiastic greetings, and when called on at the close of the luncheon, gave a brief address that was of intense interest to the Pittston men. Gen. Miner told a stirring story of an incident that ha ned to the First Battalion of the 109th in France, in which Pittston's Battery and its officers, Capt.

Troxell, Lieut. Tierney and Lieut. Lynn, were the principal figures. So far as we are aware it was the lirst time that the narrative had been related in public, and it vas given by Gen. Miner in order that Pittstonians might know something of the heroic, stuff of which the home battery was composed.

As related by Gen. Miner, the story runs that the First Battalion, including Battery was ordered to cross the Vail river and ake a position. The commander of the regiment came up in his car and found the three batteries held up in a little village, the officers having gone on ahead to re connoiter. The delay was due to the fact that the bridge across the river was gone, and it was necessary to build a temporary one. While this work was going on, the three batteries were held up under the direct fire of the enemy.

So far as the commander could see from his position at the river. Battery was being made the center of the fire and was in the midst of a cloud of smoke. It appeared as though it would be cut to pieces, but when the bridge was ready and the order to cross was given. Bat tery men came along and reported that the German fire had practically formed a circle around them. They had lost only one gun.

with eight men slightly wounded. But the bat tery was well night exhausted before their thrilling experience was over. Gen. Miner's quiet story of the bravery of his men, of the building of the temporary bridge, and of the exciting crossing formed a war tale of absorbing interest that prepared the hearers for his characterization of the Pittston battery boys as the brav est of the brave. In his closing words.

Gen. Miner appealed to the Rotarians to stand by the members of the home battery and especially to do what they can. on future Memorial days, to see that it is truly a day of sacred memorial, rather than "a day Of sport and pleasure. Other delightful features of the day's programme were piano solos by Miss Cathran Fear and the reading of a stirring war poem by Miss Florence Williams.
