Armed Clash Between Armies Supporting Republic and Emperor Imminent in China HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH -ht Stor- flnfttPfnbfnt LXXXVI— No. 159 14 PAGES ALLIES PREPARE TO RESUME DRIVE FORWARD ALONG WESTERN FRONT German Airmen Making Ex traordinary Efforts With Poor Success to Find Out What Is Going on Behind Lines in Belgium EXPECT BLOW TO FALL NEAR ARRAS Kaiser's Forces Lose Heavily in Unsuccessful Effort to Beat Back French; British Push Forward 600 Yards in Land of King Albert By Associated Press With Russia proving that her army, now rehabilitated, can strike telling blows again, the entente forces apparently are preparing to resume the forward movement on the western front. Notable activity is developing in, Belgium. Germany senses the trend of things there without question, and extraordinary efforts by her airmen to find out what is going on behind the British lines are reflected in the official statements. From all apearances the German fliers are having poor success. Lon don's report last night, for instance, f-howed nine German airplanes put out of action to one lost by the British. Expect Blow at Arras That the British blow will fall north of Arras is the German ex pectation, according to General Von Stein, the Prussian Minister of War. He told a German Reichstag com mittee yesterday that General Haig apparently was preparing for an of fensive on a large scale In this area. In this connection it is to be noted that the British, in a local operation last night, pushed their line forward slightly on a 600-yard front south west of Hollebeke, in Belgium. General Petain, on the French front, is bending his efforts toward retaining intact all the commanding positions his troops now occupy. The latest German attempt to wrest con trol of an important sector on the Aisne from him not only came to naught with exceptionally heavy Ger man losses, but the French in their reaction took a salient near Cerney from the Germans. Teutons In Warm Water In eastern Gallcla the Austrian- German forces are evidently in an un comfortable position at some points as the Russians advance this week. This condition is manifested notably at Brzezany, where they have been reported hemmed in on three sides, and an attack was launched upon the Russians there yesterday. Matters were not helped by this move, how ever, as the Russians promptly broke up the assault by their gunfire. Attacks on the Russian lines fur ther south, near Lipnicadolna. east of the Narayuvka, also were repulsed. Signs of a Russian reawakening appear in to-day's German official statement. It reports little movement in Gallcia but an increase in the ac tivities along the lines in western Moldavia and eastward to the Danube. In Mesopotamia the Russians, after having driven the Turks out of Pan.l - are attacking them in the posi tions to which they retired on the heights south and west of the town, where they are offering a tenacious resistance.

PARIS GIVES U.S. SOLDIERS BIG OVATION Children Strew Streets With Flowers For American • Feet HATS OFF TO FLAG "Teddy" Is New Nickname Given Uncle Sam's Fight ing Boys f American Troops Off For Training Camp By Associated Press Paris, July s.—The lHtttalion of Amcrii'uti troops which pa raded In Paris yesterday lias pone to the permanent Ameri icaii training camp. The other units of the first expeditionary force which arc now at a French l>ort will leave shortly for eamp instruction. It is expected the entire ex pedition will be encamped by July 15. Major General William Sihert will command the camp. *- - By Associated Press Paris, July 4, (Delayed)— When the 230 th regiment of French terri torials, with its band escorted the battalion picked from the regiments ■of United States infantry into the court of honor as a part of the In dependence" Day celebration, the court, the arcades and the corridors of the lnvalides resounded with the prolonged acclamation of the com pany of massed spectators that left just room enough for the troops to form a hollow square. Standing in the center were de scendants of soldiers of the Ameri can Revolution with fanions in United States colors and the colors of a major general of the United States army—a flag of red ground with two silver stars —embroidered by French women; and American veterans who fought with the French in the war of 1870, with the flag of the American volunteers in the French foreign legion. A few sur viving inmates from the soldiers home, erect and soldierly in appear ance in spite of their gray hairs, stood behind* as a guard of honor. Alongside was a delegation from Lepuy, the nearest city to the birth place of General Lafayette, carrying a lace adorned flag, to be presented to the American troops. Heads Uncovered The head of every spectator was uncovered precisely at 9 o'clock when Ihe American band struck up the Marseillaise. The simultaneous ap pearance of President Poincaire, General Pershing, General Joffre, American Ambassador Sharp and other dignitaries at the entrance of the building was the signal for tre mendous cheering which continued until the official party passed the troops in review. Hats were off again and an impressive silence prevailed when the fanions and flags were pre sented to the American troops. Gen eral Pershing was grave and appar ently moved. General Noix, gover nor of the lnvalides, received the flag of the American foreign legion for the war .museum. The colonel commanding the American battalion advanced and saluted President Poincare. The bands began playing and the cheering broke out again as President Poincare shook hands with the members of the official party as the troops began to file out of the court of honor. Fall In Line An airplane circling a few hundred feet overhead followed the line of march some distance. Thousands of French soldiers on leave from the front were among the masses of peo ple along the route. Hundreds of people left the sidewalks and rushed forward to shake hands with the American troops. Other hundreds of French soldiers in trench work uni forms, stained and dingy, joined the marching troops on either side in col umns and continued for miles. Some of them wore bandages on their heads and others had their arms in slings from recent wounds. Children ran forward throwing flowers in front of the marching American troops and flowers were tossed from the sidewalks or came fluttering down from windows. They were caught by the American sol diers who stuck them in the muzzles of their rifles or tucked them In their belts. The crowds removed their head coverings in salute to the Stars and Stripes as the colors passed along. FYom every window girls waved handkerchiefs or flags while every where along the route sounded the acclaims of the French people. The people called out affectionately: Sammies and Teddies "Sammies" and "Teddle3." The name Teddy became suddenly popu lar as an expression of good will, per haps because It is easily pronounced by the French. Children from till the primary schools in the quarter were given the best places. Along part of the Avenue Daumesnll there were thousands of them calling: "Teddy!" "Teddy!" "Teddy!" and throwing flowers.' All France celebrated the Fourth of July. Paris turned out a crowd that no American city ever surpassed for size, enthusiasm and profusion of Stars and Stripes. A battalion of the first American expeditionary force about to leave for training behind the battlefront had its first official re view in France and was the center of the celebration. Kverywhere the American flag was flying from public buildings, hotels and residences, and automobiles, cabs and carts, horses' bridles and the la pels of pedestrians carried them. The crowds began early to gather at van tage points, Rue de Varenne was choked long before 8 o'clock In the morning, when the Republican Guards band executed a field reveille under General Pershing's windows, and all routes toward the Invaltdes were thronged even before Persh ing's men turned out. WATER WORKS IN NEED OF REPAIRS AT ONCE--DUNKLE Commissioner Declares Coun cil Must Act; Situation Be coming Serious CONSUMPTION GROWING Big Pump Working Almost to Capacity; Industrial Boom Responsible That Council must take imme diate steps to provide for repairs and improvements for the city water works, was the statement made to day by Commissioner Samuel F. Dunkle, superintendent of the water department, who made a report on Tuesday, of a recent investigation at the pumping station, filter plant and reservoir. Extensive repairs are needed at all three places, he declared again to-day, and the necessity for these can not be questioned, the official pointed out. • "Unless something is done at once, the situation will become ex tremely serious. 1 am consulting now with experts on the question of whether we can use two old pumps at the pumping station and wheth er one of the mains to the reservoir is strong enough for addi tional pumping. "At present the large pump being used has a capacity of twelve mil lion gallons of water a day. Only the other day the amount pumped was almost eleven and one-half mil lions, very close to the maximum. Constantly increasing use of water hy local industries and other insti tutions ,has developed a critical sit uation which demands Immediate attention. "If the repairs which are so bad ly needed are started now, it will take several weeks at least to com plete them, as certain parts of the system must be kept in operation at all times. If Council acts at once and provides for the increasing con sumption, it may eventually result in a reduction in water rates because of the larger amount being pumped. Regardless of this, however, it is imperative that something should be done," Commissioner Dunkle, con cluded. Washington Believes Chang Hsun May Have Overplayed His Hand By Associated Press Washington, July s.—The revolu tionary movement restoring the Manchu dynasty to the throne of China is not being supported by all the military leaders of the North, according to dispatches from Minis ter Reinsch received to-day at the Slate Department. To-day's dispatches are not speci fied, 'but intimate that General Chang Hsun. head of the govern ment, has not met with whole-heart ed support among the leaders whose sunport is absolutely essential. With the whole South and part of the North solidly against the Im perial restoration, the situation has begun to clarify to a certain degree and a cautious feeling is expressed that Chang Hsun may have over played his hand. It is thought possible that German gold long ago withdrawn from in dustry into the banks may have some influence in keeping the situa tion in confusion. Wives of All Cabinet Members to Cave Food By Associated Press Washington, July s.—Wives of all the cabinet jnembers have become members of the food administration and pledged themselves to one wheatless meal a day, to have beef, mutton or pork but once a day and to serve no veal or lamb. They will practice strict economy in the use of butter and sugar and will have served fish, fruit and vegetables in abundance. . Thousands of pledges are reach ing the offices of the food admin istration. An effort is being made to enroll every woman in the country over 16 years of age. r- BOATS IX AZORES By Associated Press Washington. July 5. —Secretary Daniels announced to-day that the Navy Department had received in formation that German submarines were operating in the vicinity of the Azores Islands. For military ;easona, he said, no further Informa tion would be given out for publica tion. Press dispatches from Ponta Del Gada, In the Azores, yesterday told of the bombardment of that city at dawn by a German sub marine.

FINAL DRIVE FOR FOOD BILL IS UNDER WAY Administration Leaders Want Vote to Be Taken Saturday By Associated Press Washington. July s.—Food legis lation was considered to-day both in the Senate and In the conference. Tho Senate following its holiday re cess resumed debate on the food control bill and conferees continued their efforts to reach a final agree ment on the food survey bill, already passed by the Senate and House. Senator Chamberlain was ready when the Senate met to-day to be gin the final drive in an effort to put the food control bill through. He hoped to reach an agreement for a vote Saturday or Monday. In case some understanding cannot be reached as to a time for voting, then the Senator plans to offer his mo tion to shut oft debate by invoking the new cloture rule. Deluy In reaching a vote is due to the fight on the amendment offered by Senator Gore, which prohibits the distilling of spirits, but gives the President discretion to deal with wines and beer. Fat Men to Look Fatter and Thin Men Thinner if Tailors Have Way By Associated Press Chicago. July s.—Fat men will look fatter and thin men thinner, if they conform to the styles forecast for the coming season by garment authorities here for the convention of the Na tionel Association of Clothing Design ers, which opened to-day. The scant Knglish styles are to be resumed, they say, and suits will be patterned with sharp, form-defining lines. It is also predicted that spring suits in 1918 will be without fcelts, cuffs or pockets, and that men will be com pelled to carry knapsacks or bags for the belongings which formerly rested in pockets? Scarcity of wool is credited with much of the responsibility for these radical changes in style, and govern ment orders for cloth conservation have prompted economy In coats and suits. The contemplated elimination of excess pockets from men's clothing will save approximately 16,000,000 yards during the year, according to F. A. Kieff, of Chicago, who presided at the convention. BOY WITH PERISCOPES IN GANG WATCHING SHOVEL At the morning session to-day the members of the Sons of Rest who are supervising; the excavating for the cellar of the new Hotel Penn-Harris, and who have been giving the steam shovel very careful attention for the past week, decided to petition the contractors to cut one more hole In the fence around the lot it Third and Walnut. Congestion Is becoming very great at the two sightseeing holes now In existence, and some of the Sons of Rest are sometimes compelled to wait half an hour for a position at what they are pleased to call the front-line fence. •Admittance to the Order of Sons of Rest Is very simple and comes Imme diately following the newcomer's query, "How are they going to get that steam shovel out of there?" Once a man has asked a charter member this question he Immediately "he longs," and Is given the various grips and secret signs. It was suggested this morning by John Newton, of 2416 Market street, that perhaps the ateam shovel would BAKER PROMISES IMPROVEMENTS IN CENSORSHIP Present Methods of Dealing With Cable Dispatches of Troop Moves Temporary By Associated Press Washington, July s.—Secretary Baker to-day issued a statement ex plaining the operation of the War Department censorship over cable dispatches from France dealing with the American tx-oops, saying the present arrangements are temporary and soon will be supplemented by a method that will not delay delivery. "Pending the complete organiza tion of General Pershing's headquar ters in France," the statement says, "with the arrival there of corre spondents accredited to represent American newspapers the temporary arrangements by which cablegrams from France dealing with American troop movements are transmitted to the War Department here for distri bution will be continued. "It is in the interest alike of the army and the newspapers to afford a certain reliance as to the propriety of the publication of messages from France. The arrangement is tempo- (Continued on Page 2) Owner Johnson Willing to Be Angel For League; Farrell Calls Meeting By Associated Press Syracuse, N. Y., July s.—The New York State League may take on a new lease of life to-morrow night at the meeting of the owners ir. Binghamton. George Johnson, owner of the Binghamton club, a millionaire shoe manufacturer of Johnson City, has announced that he has a plan to offer the league members, that may save them. This is taken to indicate that he will extend financial aid to the clubs although the exact nature of his scheme is not disclosed. Johnson is noted for his philanthropies and his coming forward as the "angel" of the league would not cause a sur prise here. He recently gave the Harrisburg club a guarantee of S3OO when it was only entitled to S2OO. ADVANCE FOR LASTING PEACE By Associated Press Washington, July 5. —Minister of War Kerensky's final order to the Busslan troops before leading them in person from the trenches to the military victory of the new Russian democracy was received to-day by the Russian mission. It charged Ger many with having proposed treason to Russia and commanded an ad vance in the name of freedom and a lasting peace. travel up the dirt incline over which wagons now pass, when its excavat ing is finished. Mr. Newton was laughed down by the Sons of Rest. He was told that it wouldn't be long now until the contractors erect a gin pole and hoist the wagons in and ou* of the cellar. Thfs being the case, it would seem to follow that the dirt runway will be removed bodily by the steam shovel. The operator of this steam shovel was to-dav made the subject of many bets, the question being how many times he moves lev ers In order to swing the shovel-body clear around, lower the bucket, scoop It full of dirt, hoist it and dump It In the wagon. Some of the Sons of Rest were so lucky at the .nornlng session that they recovered what the Fourth pf July cost them yesterday. An embassy representing the order will wait on the contractors at 6 this evening l . request the cutting of the third sightseeing aperture In the fence. An enterprising youth tn-day cleaned heavily with a periscope by which the Sons may peer over the fence at any point SPY DISCLOSURES WOULD STARTLE I WHOLE WORLD Officials Declare That if Ger man Activities Were Known Earth Would Shake ALL ARE WORKING ■ i Information of Amazing Character and Great Value Being Unearthed By Associated Press * Washington, July s.—Officials, who for obvious reasons cannot be quot ed, declared to-day that if the gov ernment's activities against German spies in the United States could be published, the news would startle the world. While not admitting they are con vinced that the spy system was en tirely responsible for the massed sub marine attack on the transport of General Pershing's expedition, it was said that the combined forces of the State, War and Navy and Jus tice Departments were working in cohesion and systematically unearth ing information of an amazing char acter, and of great value to the gov ernment. Having Trouble It was pointed out that even with tho strictest censorship of mails, cables and press, the European allies have not been able to meet the situ ation to their complete satisfaction. The problem is of far greater mag nitude in this country, with thou sands of aliens, immense border and countless possible means for outside communications. Secret service op erations, necessarily carried on un der cover, are given little or no pub licity, and this fact, officials say, gives rise to a surmise that little has been accomplished. , It was pointed out to-day that al though the Allies have never main tained spy systems as far reaching | or effective as Germany, even that country, despite her registration of individuals, her comparatively small I border line, and her network of se- I cret police, has been unable to pre | vent information of her military moves from reaching the outside world. Germany's realization of that is shown in her absolute suppression of all main and cable communications for a considerable period preceding any Important military movement. Although the War and Navy De partments vouchsafed no comment on the leak fliat imperilled thou sands of lives, all manner of theories were advanced in official anijl unof ficial circles. These expressions crys tallized in a demand that the most determined steps 'be taken to un cover the spies, who, general belief I has it, are operating within the con- I fidential offices of the government. ! While it was pointed out that, in an undertaking of such scope as the one that ended in the safe arrival of the first expedition, the American government faced many new prob lems with reference to espionage, the grave dangers to American lives prompted the demand that, if neces sary, every department be turned inside out to prevent a recurrence of that menace. Would Hang Spies Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, expressed the majority view when he said: "If these spies are found they will be strung up without delay and without the courtesy of a trial by jury." Secretary Daniels and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt were absent from Washington to-day. and the Navy Department censors declined to discuss the spy question in any way. It became known, however, that the Department of Justice be gan a thorough investigation as soon as the American officers in France reported to the department the facts that showed German knowledge of American military movements. It is held Germany obtained this information from high sources, be cause of the fact that the U-boat captains knew exactly where the de stroyer escort and the transports would rendezvous, and the exact time of the arrival of the transports at the point where they were at tacked. The fact that Germany knew when the transports left American ports is not considered of such mo ment, as there was a very broad knowledge of that fact in regular shipping circles. Two Theories Two different theories were ad vanced by those officials who do not agree with Senator Chamberlain that the German spy system is in operation in high places of the gov ernment. These are: First. That the tip to Germany was received through cable messages sent to England. This theory is grounded on the belief that the arch spy is in London rather than Wash ington. . Second. That the failure of the government to censor mail to Mexi co, other Central and South Ameri can countries and Spain, is being used to advantage by Germany. This theory presumes that German agents co-ordinating widespread activities In the United States, reach a defi nite and accurate knowledge of the movements of the government; that such information is being carried by mail to Mexico; telegraphed to a South American port and then cabled to Spain. The fact that a German submarine was found to have been at Cadiz, a Spanish port within the last few weeks, was held by many persons to strengthen this theory. Fight Off U-Bonts Secretary of the Navy Daniels Is waiting for further dispatches from Admiral Gleaves and promised that a ssoon as an official report.on the two battles with submarines Is re ceived It will be made public. Ad miral Gleaves to-day left the French seaport at which the American troops landed, for Paris and Is ex pected to report as soon as he reach es the French capital. A report a|so is expected within a day or so from Admiral Sims whose ships took part in the second engagement with the, German submarines —that within the cone. Single Copy, 2 Cents ENORMOUS SUM IS NEEDED FOR ARMY EQUIPMENT Great Amount of Supplies Already Purchased For Fighting Men AMMUNITION HIGH Manufacture of Arms, Cloth ing and Other Necessities Way Up By Associated Press Washington, July s.—An idea of the enormous cost to maintain America's fighting forces Is given in a statement issued by the Commit tee on Public Information to-day ■showing the relative amounts ex pended in 1915, when the country was at peace, and to be expended this year. Subsistence, for instance, which in 1915 was supplied at the modest cost of $9,800,000, this year has been provided for in the appropriation es timates at $133,000,000. Clothing and camp garrison equi page, which two years ago were had for $0,500,000, will cost this year $241,000,000. Ordnance stores and supplies which in 1915 were furnished for only $700,000. this year will cost more than $106,000,000. Manufacture of arms which in 1915 cost $450,000. this year will cost more than $55,000,000. Ammunition for small arms which in 1915 was had at $875,000, this year will cost $148,000,000. Transportation, which in 1915 was furnished at $13,000,000, this vear will cost $222,000,000. Regular supplies, which in 1915 cos l $10,009,000, this year will cost tn0.000.000. For aeronautic $450,000 was ap propriated in 1915, while $47,000,- 000 already has been appropriated for this year. This does not include, of course, the administration's big aircraft program which calls for an initial appropriation of $639,000,000. Among the items already pur cliased'are: 5,000,000 blankets, 37,- 000,000 yards of bobbinet, 2,000,000 cots, 45,500,000 yards of cotton • loth. 21,300,000 of unbleached drill ing. 6,000,000 pairs of shoes and 11,- 191,000 pairs of light woolen socks.
