HARRISBURG (6B& TELEGRAPH
U.S. TO BUY 66,000
GUNS FOR FRONT
Pershing to Have a Cannon
For Every 100 Feet of
Battle Line
Bethlehem, Pa., July 7. —The
magnitude with which the United
States proposes to go into this war
is indicated in some degree by the
orders for cannon that have been
pouring into the Bethlehem Steel
Company.
"With the last few weeks the War
Department has ordered 20,000
three-inch guns and 20,000 4.7
Schneider howitzers, of the famous
Le Creusot type. This order for 40,-
000 field pieces has come in addition
to previous orders for approximate
ly 30,000 cannon at various times
since the declaration of war.
Some of the guns in the orders
for 30,000 are for the navy, but the
majority are for the army. It is esti
mated the War Department has at
tiethlehem alone orders for R6.000
cannon. If these were placed in a
row along the western front of the
European battle lines, there would
be a gun for less than every 100 fet,
not to mention the French and the
English artillery.
While Bethlehem Is the biggest
gun factory in the world, this state
ment being made with special refer
ence to German pride in Krupp's,
there are other plants which also
have received considerable orders
for cannon, and it .is said to be the
intention of this government to shoot
the Germans out of France and back
into their own country with a vigor
that will teach them respect for Pres
ident Wilson's declaration in favor
of a world democracy.
Over and above the orders *-im
the United States for nearly 70,tij0
cannon, the Bethlehem plant has
booked and is making many thou
sands of guns for England, France,
Russia and Italy.
The guns are being turned out
rapidly, and high explosive shells
are being turned out In even more
amazing proportion. Carloads of
guns leave the works every night,
ready for shooting, together with
shells to back up the work of the
American army on the German fron
tier.
U.s. TOISEPORT
KAISER'S AGENTS
Continued From nrst Pago
some points captured second line
positions.
Second Effort
The opening of the battle of Pinsk
marks the second efforts of the Rus
sians after the long period of quiet
which followed the revolution. The
point selected for this attack isabout
175 miles north of the sector In
East Galicia along wheih the Rus
sians made their first onslaught, re
sulting in the capture of about 18,-
000 men in two days. Pinsk is at
the middle of the Russo-Gallcian
battle line.
There has been no heavy fighting
in this region since the conclusion
of the great Austro-German drive
which began in the spring of 1915.
During the summer the Russians
were driven out of Western Galicia,
Poland and most of the Baltic prov
inces. Pinsk was captured by the
Germans on September 15 at the
high tide of the Austro-German in
vasion. Subsequently the Russians
held up the Germans on the Riga
front and since that time the heavi
est actions have been fought on th&
northern end of the line or in
Galicia.
Pinsk had a population of about
30,000 before the war. It lies within
the great marsh and swamp region
of white Russia, about on a line of
that of Warsaw.
Brassiloff's Attack Is
Surprise For Germans Who
Did Not Expect Blow
General Brusslloff seems to have
been arranging a surprise on the
Russian front. Judging from the re
port® from Petrograd to-day of vio
lent fighting in progress in the Pinsk
district.
Apparently the Austro-German at
tention has been centered on the
Galician district, where Brussiloft's
offensive opened last Sunday and
only last evening the German official
report recorded the resumption of
heavy attacks by the Russians.
There had been no mention In
any of the official statements re
cently of any especial activity any
where along the Russian line except
in Galicia and the sectors immedi
ately adjacent on north and south.
The report from Pinsk,. 150 miles
north of the Galician border, there
fore. has in It the element of sur
prise for the world, if not for the
Germans.
Pinsk. which has been in Ger
man 1-ands since the tide of the
great Invasion of 1915 swept Grand
Duke Nicholas' armies far bacl: into
Russian territory, is reported in
flames. The city lies within a pro
nounced salient in the line and the
statement that fighting is occurring
west of It may mean to the north
west. where the front trends along
the Oginskl canal and the Jaslolda
river.
The infantry may not yet have
been thrown into the fighting at
Pinsk, the battle apparently being
one of big guns. Judging from the
statement regarding the Russian ar
tillery, which is said to be "leveling
all obstacles."
On the Franco-Belgian front the
British have again made another
forward thrust, slightly advancing
their line east of Wytschaete. in the
Belgian district, where General
Plumer blew the Germans out of an
extended salient east of the Messines
ridge last month. With the French
forces there have been only .artillery
fighting and trench raiding.
ROOT'S GIFT TO RUSSIANS
Petrograd, July—7.—Elihu Root,
head of the American mission to
Russia has donated 5,000 rubles
(about $2,500) to the soldiers of
Moscow. He was formally thank

RAILROAD
DENY THROUGH
TRAIN REPORTS
Officials Hear Old Story Re
garding Lebanon and Har
risburg Traffic
Local officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad know nothing regarding the
Ponnsy plans to run trains through
from Harrisburg to Lebanon. Follow
ing a visit this week by General Su
perintendent Robert V. Massey and
Middle Division officials to Lebanon,
reports were circulated that the new
schedule on the Lebanon Division
would include through trains to and
from Lebanon and Harrisburg.
This is an old story, according to
local officials, and a change at this
time would be out of the question, it
was also stated. The Cornwall and
Lebanon branch, taken over a long
time ago by the Pennsy, is now
known as the Lebanon Division. It is
a part of the Eastern Division under
the jurisdiction of General Superin
tendent Massey.
Through Trntns Cat Expense
A general belief has prevailed for
some time that through trains would
be operated with less expense and af
ford better train facilities between
this city and Lebanon. Recently there
have been elaborate improvements
made on this branch in preparation
for soldier traffic. Work is still un
der way on track and yard exten
sions, and it is said the through pas
senger service will be taken up in
the near future.
To change the schedule at this
time, according to one official, would
prove rather expensive. The new
schedule in effect last Sunday covers
all trains stopping at Conewago and
making connections for Mt. Gretna
and Lebanon, and it is said that any
further changes are not likely to oc
cur until next fall.

GOOD CROPS IN
FRANKLIN AND
ADAMS ORCHARDS
Hail Damage Confined t<|4
Few Orchards Dr. Fletcher,
of State College, Says (
The cheerful tidings are forthoom i
ing that reports have erred In
sorting there has been hall damagtf i
to the commercial orchards orf
Adams county. Some orchards tali
Franklin county were damaged, tb!
hailstorms passing over the district
In streaka. The State College expert#'
who recently went over the orchards
say an error was made In reporting
that they found hall damage la>
Adams county.
Dr. S. W. Fletcher, commenting
upon the finding of his party of ex
perts in the applebelt says, he be
lieves that with the exception of on
orchard, where the damage Is really
very serious, most of the treeß In tha'
path of the storm will recover.
A day spent going through tha
commercial orchards of Franklin
county, says Dr. Fletcher, convinces
him that the hall injury is confined
to comparatively few orchards and
that the great number are In splendid
condition. The orchards In Adam®
county he finds especially promlsi
lng.
This will be good news to apple
lovers. especially in view of the fact
that the crop of apples Is not very
good In some other of the appl©-v
growing sections of the country.
