ARTILLERY ' POUNDS HUN LINE [Continued fl'om First Page.] | number of Germans deserted last , night and surrendered to an Ameri can patrol in a certain wood* The Germans approached the Americans, [shouting: "Don't shoot!" The pris oners were turned over to the French. Much information of value was j obtained from the deserters who said they were "fed up" with the war and decided they would rather be pris oners. Included in the information obtained from the men was the statement that during the gas pro jector attack against the American lines on February 27, nine hundred projectors were employed. One half | the projectiles fired fell within the j German lines and the gas overcame I many of the Germans. The next day. 1 according to the deserters, eleven ! Germans were killed and thirty ; wounded while taking out the dead. Believe "3 Projectors Vscd American intelligence officers are inclined to doubt the story regard ing 900 projectors. American infor mation is that only seventy-five were used. An American patrol last night en tered the enemy first line and re mained there six hours, but did not see any of the enemy. It is reported that the Germans recently had con structed trenches that are concrete half way up on the side. Great activity continues behind the enemy lines. Within the past four days a number of rock crush ers and concrete mixers have been brought up and there are signs that the Germans intended to construct a number of new pill boxes opposite the American front. Several trains of materials have arrived at towns in the German lines during the past twenty-four hours. To-day's reports say three German airplanes flew over various parts of the American front line at daybreak and fired their ma chine guns on our positions with out result. HAJEUUSBURG €££££& TELEGRAPrf ! ENROLLMENT IN COUNTY IS HEAVY Republican Party Has Great Majority of Voters in Its Ranks Returns from the registry asses sors in all but one of the* 7 2 county i districts giving revised figures for ! the party enrollment of voters show j that the Republican total is 13,177, | a majority of 6.135 over the entire I total of the Democratic, Socialist and I no party choice registrants, lndicat , ing a sweeping majority for the i dominant party of the state. I While these returns are unofficial, being taken from the totals given | in the books by the assessors, county ; officials said a complete tally would j make practically no change. The only district for which no return has I been received as yet, is Middle Pax | ton township. The total enrollment by parties follows: Republican, 13.177; Demo cratic, 3,345; Socialist, 305; no party choice given, 3.392. It is not believed by officials and party leaders that the total vote will be quite as high as the total would indicate as a number of voters who are registered are in Army service. A feature of the return is the unusu ally high totals from two Steelton districts, the Second ward. First pre cinct, having 1.255 voters on the books, and the Third, ward. Second precinct, 971. Local Attacks by Germans Repulsed by French Forces By Associated Press Paris, March 22. —Local attacks were made by the Germans at vari ous points during the night, but they achieved no success, the war office announces. The enemy suf fered considerable losses. The statement adds; "During the naval engagement off Dunkirk on Wednesday night our coast was bombarded near Hanne by enemy warships. Along our whole front to-day the enemy directed a violent fire, employing gas shells, against our batteries, which respond ed vigorously. This unusually active artillery fighting, with the use of shells containing poisonous gas, was continued throughout the day. Our communications were bombarded violently."
