Notable Activity of Heavy Artillery on French and British
Fronts; Crown Prince Fears Renewal of Offensive on

Assault in the Craonne Sector
Petrograd, July 24. A "blood and iron" policy will be put
into effect if need to save Russia by the government of Premier
Kerenskv, to which unlimited power has been granted. In an
interview to-day the Premier said:
"Relying upon the confidence of the masses and the army,
the government will save Russia and Russian unity by blood and
iron, if argument and reason, honor and conscience are not suf
ficient.
"The situation at the front is very serious and demands heroic
measures. But I am convinced the organism of the state is suf
ficiently vigorous to be cured without a partial amputation."
Signs of a Halt in the
Russian Retreat Wanting
Before German Pursuit
By Associated Press
Signs of a halt In the Russian re
treat in Eastern Galicia before the
advancing Austro-German armies
are largely wanting, but indications
of stronger resistance in some sec
tors are cropping out The Russian
generals undoubtedly are doing their
utmost to bring their men to a
realization of the necessity of im
plicit obedience.
The resisting powers of the Rus
sians are admitted by Berlin to be
strongly in evidence south of the
Brzezany line, and it is here that
such fighting capacities as the Rus
sians possess need to be exercised to
the limit. The Austro-German
forces are pressing southward in an
effort to cut in between the Russian
forces on their old line and the
Dniester river, success in which
move would spell disaster for the
Russian units in this sector.
Kerensky Works Hard
While Premier Kerensky, armed
with almost dictatorial' powers, is
struggling to right the situation on
the Russian front, the allied armies
In the west ,are holding the threat
of a renewed offensive over the Ger
mans on the Franco-Belgian front.
There, has been notable activity of
late by both the British and French
artillery. The situation on the Aisne
front appears to show that the
Crown Prince fears a renewal of the
French offensive here, his i#untless
attacks being considered in many
quarters an attempt to forestall it.
On the British front the intense
aerial and artillery activity presage
important movements.
The main infantry movement of
the last twenty-four hours was
again in the Craonne sector where
the Crown Prince launched another
attack on the French lines, without
achieving any success. An attempt
to advance was also made north of
Sancy. This was likewise frustrated
Frequent raids by the Germans in
dicate their anxiety to learn the
size and disposition of the forces
opposing them.

Great Cathedral City
of Rheims Is Wilting
Under Constant Fire
By Associated Press
French Front, July 24.—Rheims
is wilting. The big cathedral city of
the Champagne district has the ap
pearance of a hollow shell which has
collapsed in parts and is rapidly sub
siding into a shapeless mass.
Not only the cathedral, but all the
public buildings and private dwell
ing houses have suffered terribly in
the last half-year from the raging
vengeance of the German gunners,
who have turned a rain of shells onto
the stricken city .whenever their ar
mies have been defeated at any point
on the front. These defeats have
been so frequent, either on a small
or large scale, since the allied offen
sive began this year that the city
lias rarely passed more than two or
tnree days without undergoing se
vere bombardment.
The extent of the undeserved pun
ishipent may be gathered from the
figures relating the number of
shells of all calibers poured into the
streets and on the cathedral during
a single fortnight from June 15 to
June 28. The total between those
two dates was no fewer than 16,052.
There are only 5.000 persons left
out of a_ peace time population of
about 115,000. Among them are a
goodly proportion of women and
children. Some of the younger
women have continued their work
throughout, many of them being em
ployed in the champagne cellars,
where during the day they are com
paratively safe from the German
fire.
School Is still being carried on, the
classes being held below the street
surface, and the municipal govern
ment is also conducted In the bowels
of the earth, where the city fathers
meet to discuss relief matters.
Sailors in Allied Navies
to Share Comforts Sent
to Front by U. S. Women
By Associated Press
Washington, July 24.—Sailors of
the allied navies are to share with
American bluejackets the comforts
provided through the lahor of pa
triotic American women.% It was an
nounced to-day at headquarters of
l the navy league that one thousand
sets of woolen garments have left
i Washington for French sailors en
gaged in patrol duty in northern
waters. This will be followed within
a few days by a consignment of
woolen garments to certain Russian
warships whose crews are badly in
need of heavy clothing and later on
shipments will be made to British
sailors of the antisubmarine patrol.
Communications from the British
Admiralty a.nd French Ministry of
Marine received by the navy league
expressed appreciation of the offer
of American women to render this
service to the sailors. Informal ac
ceptance of the offer has been re
ceived from representatives of the
Russian Admiralty.
More than 100,000 American
women are now engaged in knitting
these woolen garments for the
sailors.
GERMANS SEEK FAVOR
By Associated Press
Buenos Ayres, July 2 4.—A German
bank is reported to have offered con
fidentially to the Argentine govern
ment immediate loan of 400.000,000
piastres. Although much German
capital is concentrated in the banks
here, the maneuver Is thought to
have been made In an effort to neu
tralize the growing sympathy In Ar
gentina for the Allies and to profit
b> the financial necessities of the
government and Its difficulties to ob
tain a loan In Europe.
HARRISBURG, PA., TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1917.
CUV ADVISED
TO TAKE OVER
DISPOSAL PLANT
Engineers Advise Purchase of
Pennsylvania Reduction
Company
WILL COST $73,000
Ash and Garbage Survey Re
port Presented to Council
Today
City collection and disposal of
ashes and garbage; the purchase of
the Pennsylvania Reduction Com
pany plant, extensive changes there,
and a better system of collecting re- I
fuse were the important recommen-!
dations in the report on the ash and 1
garbage survey made by Tribus and
Massa, and presented to Council to
day.
The Commissioners took the re
port under advisement and will de
cide on the disposal question within
the next few weeks, so that prepara
tions can be made to start collecting
ashes and garbage when the present
contract with the Reduction Com
pany expires.
The engineers in their report esti
mate it will cost the city $73,000 to
take over the reduction company
plant and put it in shape and that
COE t $84,000 a year to make
collections of ashes and garbage,—
$50,000 more than under the pres
ent system,—but that the reduction
plant properly managed will net the
city at least $45,500. This deducted
from the total cost of collections will
make the net cost $39,000 a year,—
only $5,000 more than at present.
Assure Good Service
If the changes are made as rec
ommended in the report, the engi
neers assure the city officials there
will not be a repetition of the trou
ble of last winter when ashes ac
cumulated for months.
This was due partly, the report
continues, to the way collections
were made by the reduction com
pany and the way the plant is man
aged, but Louis L. Tribus, repre
senting the engineers, declared there
were faults on both sides, and that
Harrisburgers in general contributed
to i. he Inefficiency of the service.
The engineer, in recommending
the purchase of the reduction com
pany plant, advised against attempt
ing to make it a modern plant. By
making only the immediate repairs
and changes necessary to permit of
operating the plant for a year or two
he suggested that Harrisburg should
later on get an entirely modern sys
tem, which could be installed In the
present buildings of the reduotion
company, beyond Cameron street, at
a cost not exceeding $50,000. This
new plant would have a capacity for
taking care of double the amount of
garbage that Harrisburg now pro
duces. ' i
He advised against the city buy
ing the horses and wagons now own
ed by the reduction company, say
ing that for the majority of the work
one-horse wagons should be used
for the ashes and garbage; larger
wagons for the rubbish and autos
$33,000; new collecting equipment,
for the long hauls, which, according
to his calculation, will be few. Fre
quent stops and short hauls make
the exclusive use of auto trucks in
advisable. he said.
IJrges Civil Service
He urged that the emploves be
put under civil service; that the resi
dents of the city be compelled to
use smaller containers and keep the
ashes, rubbish and garbage separate;
make frequent collections to get the
garbage when it is fresh and more
productive, and employ men to
"pick" the dumps.
Mention is made in the report-that
Steelton may later become a part of
the city. That need not be consid
ered now, the engineer said, because
the dumping grounds north of the
city will be available and the reduc
tion plant best located at its pres
ent site for years to come, so that
the haul from Steelton to the f>lant
would be too long to be economical.
The engineer said, also, it would not
be inadvisable to put up a small
plant in Steelton.
Mr. Tribus continued, that no mat
ter what kind of a reduction plant
is installed he could offer no guar
anty that the unpleasant odors from
the plant would be entirely eliminat
ed. Yet he said this would be less
noticeable. Commenting on the fact
that the reduction company officials
say they do not want the ash and
garbage contract again, the engi
neers added that the company
bought some needed modern ma
chinery but never installed it. This,
he said, could be used. If the city
takes over the reduction plant there
will be found immediate need for
putting the plant into sanitary con
dition. Mr. Tribus said.
The revenues to be derived by the
city if it takes over the plant would
include money from the sale of
grease, dry tankage and assorted
pickings. The actual cost of the
plant and overhauling it id fixed at
$33,000; new collecting equipment,
$25,000; picking plant, $8,000; inci
dentals, $7,000.

Washington. July 24.—Serbia, in

"reserves the right of claiming, at

Building Up to Bonding
Company's Decision
John P. Gohl, one of the sub
contractors on the remodeling of the
Federal building, said to-day that an
effort is being made to get the work
started through an assignment of the
contract to him as a representative
of the other subcontractors to the
end that the greatly delayed work
may proceed. It appears the chief
difficulty is a difference between two
bonding companies which gave a
joint bond to the contractor who
failed. One of the companies is will
ing to make the assignment to Mr.
Gohl, but the other, whose business
has been largely reinsured by an
other Insurance company, has
reached no decision.
Postmaster Sites has asked the
supervising architect at Washington
to waive all formalities and turn the
work over to Mr. Gohl as chairman
of the subcontracting firms and the
Washington officials are willing to
make such an arrangement, but
nothing can be done until the bond
ing company in question has reached
some conclusion.
The time limit expired July 1 and
since that date responsibility for the
work and the rental of the tem
porary post office is with the bonding
concerns.
There Is general protest over the
conditions about the Post Office
building and Highway Commissioner
Lynch has been requested at least
to keep the sidewalks clear.

New Revenues Must Be
Sought to Meet Additional
Expenditures
By Associated Press
Washington, July 24.—Secretary
McAdoo to-day prepared new war
estimates for Congress, very much
in excess of those already presented,
and which will necessitate raising
revenue not contemplated whea the
Senate Finance Committee revised
the war tax bill. The bill probably
will be further revised.
The government, basing an esti
mate on the needs of the army and
navy, wants the war tax bill to au
thorize an additional nve billion dol
lars.
Secretary McAdoo will appear be
fore the Finance Committee late to
day to explain the treasury's needs,
based on the requirements of the
Army and Navy. Whether the $5,-
000,000,000 would be raised by a
bond issue had not been determined.
Take a Bath on Day of

tame day, with the bath preceding
the examination by a few hours. In
other words the physicians of the
draft boards are asking eligibles to
take a good swim before they report,
if not in the river at least in the
family tub.
Dr. Bayard T. Dickinson, member
of the draft board in the First
county district, voted in favor
of the rule. Some of the physi
cians have asked the lay members
of the boards to attach such a ruling
to the notices to be sent out, while
others have declared their intentions
of sending all unbathed candidates
home to report at a later hour.
Mob Chases Man Charged

part of the money, was afterward
recovered by a guardsman and re
turned to the police station.
Mrs. Granger raised the cry of
"Stop thief" when Miller jumped
from the car on Market street and
started to disappear In the darkness
while she was minus her pocket
took. The cry attracted a crowd of
persons, who gave chase, overtaking
the fugitive near the Harrlsburg pipe

the mails to-day to the 4,557 local

City Needs Much Money
to Carry Out the Many
Improvements Planned
The city commissioners seemed to
be much alarmed at Council meet

superficial analysis of the cost of
contemplated improvements and
realized that propositions now under
way and others coming on will cost
close to two million dollars. From
their conversations it was evident
that the commissioners anticipate a
big loan question to be put up to
the voters next fall for approval.
Some of the matters discussed in

American Training Camp in
France, July 23. —German aerial
squadrillas apparently have persist
ently sought to- locate the American
troops since their arrival here, but
without the slightest success to date.
Countersquadrillas have been so
watchful and energetic that the Ger
mans have been unable to approach
the encampment and have been
beaten off each time they crossed
the French line.
One of these aerial battles occur
red yesterday evening and another
this morning.
Both were at points a consider
able distance apart and far removed
from the American encampment.
They were witnessed by chance by
American officers who were touring
the country in automobiles. Some
ten planes were engaged in the flrst
fight and a dozen in the latter.
Both the battles were conducted
thousands of feet above the ground.
The sky was cloudless and the light
ing was plainly discernible. The
German airmen were forced to turn
and make for home without having
spotted the American camps.
Airplanes daily pass over the
headquarters, generally within a few
hundred feet, but some times so
high as to be invisible, which in
variably leads to rumors that the
Germans have flown over the camp.
The eye witness accounts for the
two aerial battles is the flrst authen

been within a hundred miles of the
American quarters.
