HARRISBURG, PA., MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1917. , PLEADS FOR EXEMPTI /IS WIFE AND MOTHER WEEP York County Man Files Record Number of Claims and Seventeen Affidavits Before District Appeal Board Appearance of Samuel A. Laßue, New Freedom, York county, accom panied by his weeping wife and mother, before the District Draft Board to-day, to ask the board to reopen hia appeal for exemption de nied October 9, was characterized by highly dramatic scenes. The board heard his appeal and if it is denied the only course left open to Laßue is to take his case to the President. Laßue flled a record number of affidavits and claims. Two claims were filed with the district board and one with the local board. He osks to be exempted because he is helping his father cultivate a hun dred-acre farm and for the reason BRITISH GUNS PREPARING WAY FOR NEW BATTLE German Heavy Artillery Tries to Hinder Relentless Forward Drive By Associated Press Heavy artillery actions are again in progress on the Flanders front. Lon don's official report to-day speaks of a strong bombardment of the new British positions on the main Pass chendaele-Gheluvelt ridge, south of Broodseinde. In the light of previous experience this may be viewed as in dicating German counter battery work against the intensive Britiin artillery in progress preparatory to another push. The British artillery now has su perior positions from which to work, as tHere must by this time have been ample opportunity for the heavy guns to be put in position on the dominating high ground taken in the recent advances. It thus seems prob able that Field Marshal Ilaig will not delay his next stroke beyond the time when these guns have had an opportunity to break up such con crete construction as the Germans have been able to construct in what they describe as their "defensive zone," which week by week is being forced further eastward. The weather, however, is a decid edly important element in this con sideration as the continuation of hard storms not only keeps the ground in a state well high prohibl- Uve of co-ordinated infantry ad vances, but interferes seriously with the vital aerial observation work.

' GERMAN COUP Kaiser's Forces Push South and East From Land ing Point ALARM FELT AT CAPITAL Army and Navy in No Posi tion to Fight With Invaders . J By Associated Press Berlin, Oct. 15.—Kapnl pro gress has lieen made by tho German troops which landed on the Russian Island of OcScl, ac cording to the official statement Issued to-day by the German war office. German warships shelled the Russian land batter it's and silenced them. Svorb peninsula has been cut oIT from the northern part of the island. German torpedo boats, the state ment adds, penetrated the inner waters between the islands of Oesel and Dago and in repeated engagements pressed back the Russian naval forces into 'the Moonsund. Petrograd. Oct. 15. —The German forces which were landed on Oesel Island at the head of tho Gulf of Riga, are pushing forward to the cast and south, placing in a difficult position the Russian forces and bat teries in the district of Arensburg, j at the southern end of the island and especially those of the Cerel penin sula. Military critics predict ac tions in the Gulf of Riga, followed by developments of the Germans to the mainland rather thap an attempt toward the Gulf of Finland which Is protected by mine fields which the Germans would have to sweep under the menace of the Russian fleet. The newspapers exhibit alarm at the landing of the Germans on Oesel Island. The Bourse Gazette says tho situation of the country is more complicated because a solution must be found not only of tho unsatisfac tory state of affairs in the interior but of the problem presented by the closing of the Gulf of Riga by the Germans. The Russkaya Volia says: "We are being led toward our Cal vary but perhaps we shall find our resurrection." Russians Flee The landing of the Germans has increased the exodus from Petrograd which has been noticeable since the fall of Riga. Since Saturday the ticket offices have been beseiged, many persons offering large pre miums for tickets. The situation is aggravated by rumors which were branded officially as unfounded, that passenger traffic will be stopped shortly in view of the expected evac uation of government institutions. It is stated in government circles that no extensive evacuation is looked for, as no immediate danger threat ens the capital. The new front is still 300 miles distant, it is pointed out and the roads are impassable. It Is not believed a landing In Finland will be attempted, owing to the scar city of supplies there and to the fact I that provisioning would be rendered difficult with winter approaching, by the freezing of the sea. The central committee of the fleet has addressed to the sailors an ap peal whlch.has caused cessation of the moetings at Helsingfors. The semiofficial news agency says the first naval encasements In the Oesel waters have shown that an appeal to the crews of the fleet majbe counted on with certainty. Possession of the Gulf of Riga by tho Germans ap pears to military writers to be a most serious menace and to give a considerable advantage to tho enemy, who will be able to make secure his communications with Riga. Single Copy, 2 Cents * HOME EDITION BLAST OF WAR MUNITIONS FELT IN PHILADELPHIA Two Men Killed and Another Missing in Terrific Explosion SKYSCRAPERS ROCKED Tremors Felt by Surrounding Towns in a Wide Radius By Associated Press Philadelphia, Oct. 15.—An explo sion in the nltro starch dry house at the Du Pont Powder Works at Gibbs town, N. J., resulted in the instant death of two workmen. A third man is missing and is probably dead. The bodies were blown to'pieces. Another man was seriously injured. The de stroyed building was a small one story structure isolated from the rest of the plant and the force con sisted of the four men mentioned. There was no other damage. The DuPont Company says there is noth ing suspicious about the explosion Because of the terrific force of the explosion most alarming reports os to its extent were in circulation. Almost everybody in Philadelphia, twenty miles distant, felt it. and sur rounding towns in New Jersey -e --ported shattered windows and other ill effects of the impact. Consequent ly the news that there had not been a great disaster came as a relief. The force of the explosion was so great that windows were shattered in buildings within a radius of rive miles or more. Sky scrapers in Philadel phia, nearly twenty miles distant, were rocked. Gibbstown is an isolated town eighteen miles below Camden on the Delaware river. It is the scene of intense activity where the Du Po'nta manufacture great quantities of war explosivos. t X • j X CAPTAIN A. C. LANDIS DIES X Harrisburg. Captain A. C.

IS. Aroused by publication in some parts of the country of private cablegrams announcing arrival of American troops in France, the War and Navy Departments to-day took steps to prevent a repetition of the incidents which may result in the court-martial of the officers who sent the mes sages. In one case, a former National Guard officer, wired his Gover nor of the arrival of the state's troops, but so far as is known here, newspapers in that locality observed the government's vol untary censorship request and did not print the cable. In the other case, however, a for mer National Guard officer tele graphed the Governor of his state of the arrival of his regiment with a request that it be given fullest pub licity. The Governor's office gave nt the cablegram and many papers in that state printed the news. This morning other newspapers published tho dispatch and ridded the number (Continued oil Pago 10)
