METHODS USED BY DRAFT BOARDS TO BE INVESTIGATED Difference in Number of Men in First Class Calls For Federal Probe Steps for an • inquiry into the methods of listing men in the first class under the draft law practiced by every local draft board in Penn sylvania have been ordered. Ac cording to telegrams received here £there is wide variance between the •luipbers classified by boards, some being high and some very low. Act ing on instructions from Washing ton the average number of men placed, in the first class by each board will be ascertained and the state will then be districted and inspectors sent out to find the reasons for dif ferences. Special inquiries will be made into conditions involving agri culture and aliens. This work is to be done within the next two weeks. The state headquarters is also working out figures on the enlist ments from Pennsylvania so as lo be prepared to calculate the quotas when the next call comes. To-day closes the movement of drafted men under the recent ctll from this state, 1,217 being scheduled to go to Camp Lee. Arrangements are being made by local boards fo prepare men to fill shortages which may be caused by rejections at camp.

It was the idea of the executive committee of the local campaign that the huge corporations of various kinds which make large purchases of Liberty Loan Bonds, and which con duct branches of their business or have agents in Harrisburg. should subscribe to bonds through Harris burg in the ratio that the total bond purchases compares with the propor tion of their total business done in Herrisburg. Mayor Keister consent ed to take up the proposition with the outside corporations. As told, the New York Life has "come through," notification coming through George M. Spangler, local representative. Industrial Drive Tuesday The Liberty Loan drive this time will not be confined to one week, as were the other two. Beginning next Tuesday morning and continuing for two weeks, the industrial plants of the city will be canvassed. Certain members of the industrial executive committee havfc been given charge of the stores, shops, mills, factories and other plants, each being allotted cer tain units. In each of these indi vidual plants a working organization of that establishment's employes is being set up—and these workers will canvass the employes. This sort of campaign will continue for the period ending April 2t>. In the following week a drive will be made on the homes of .the city. The first campaign will be undet the direction of George S. Reinoeh® the second under Postmaster Sites. These two chairmen last night is sued the following statement: "Thousands of Harrisburgers are prepared to buy Liberty Bonds, con sidering it their duty to do so. These persons will aid in the campaign through the time they will save the workers, if they will contribute now, not waiting to be asked." BIG STOCK OF WHEAT LOST AS MILL BURNS [Continued from First Page.] carried down into the cfreek by the mill stream which runs under the mill. Mill and contents are a total loss. The property damage will exceed ten thousand dollars. The loss in grain, conservatively figured by C. S. Willis, of Lemoyne, who leases the mill at $15,000, is not covered by insurance. The grain consisted of corn, wheat, corn flour and wheat flour. The mill is owned by Mrs. Marlln E. Olmsted. Until a few years ago it was owned by Calvin Etter, from whose hands It passed to Mrs. Olm sted. Origin of Blaze Unknown The origin of the fire is a complete mystery. Mr. Willis declared this morning that he will make a minute investigation, as he was certain the mill had been fired deliberately. The fact that the tire originated at the water line and spread so rapidly, furnished grounds on which Mr. Willis .based his opinion of lire by arson. The idea of spontaneous com bustion was scouted by the leasee of the mill this morning. The blaze was discovered by Elmer Kline, a miller, who with another miller worked in the mill all of last night bagging flour. Upon his dis covery of the fire, the flames had gained such headway and spread so rapidly that Mr. Kline was barely able to rescue the books from the office. Even so he failed to salvage all the office books, it was said. The fire spread so rapidly neither man was able to save a single sack of grain. As the flames spread the entire woodwork, with the great supply of grain and flour, were enveloped, and the means at hand were powerless to impede _ the depredation of the flames. The New Cumberland Fire Company was summoned but when the firemen arrived the building was practically turned to the ground. The volume of smoke was dense and the heat was intense during the height of the conflagration. Showers of sparks and smouldering grain were thrown into the air as the roof and floors crashed to the mill stream under the structure. What grain might have been saved from the flames was carried away by the stream. Several thousand bushels of grain and flour were tl\us lost. In Operation a Century The mill has been standing About a century, during which time it has always bene operated as a flour mill. In 1865 Calvin Etter, who operated the feed store' now known as C. Etter & Son, bought It from J. H. Teal. About ten years ago it passed from the possession of the Etters to Mrs. Olmsted. At that time it was sold for $13,000. During the ownership of the Et terH new machinery was installed and the mill was in a good condition before it was destroyed this morn ing. It,had been remodeled during the tenure of ownership by the Et ters. BRITISH PRESSED BACK SHORT DISTANCE BY HUN MASSED TROOPS By Associated Press london, April s.—The British hav* teen pressed back a- short distange on the front east o< Amiens to posi tions east of Villerq-Brettoneux, the War Office announces. The Germans hurled large bodies of troops against the Bfitish lines be tween the Luce and Somme rivers, making repeated assaults. For the most part the enemy was thrown tack with losses. The Germans concentrated troops early to-day near Albert, the War C ffice announces. British artillery took them under its fire. In the neighborhood of Bucquoy and in the Scarpe valley there was active artil lery fighting during the night. SLIGHT GAINS ARE MADE BY GERMANS IN NEW OFFENSIVE [Continued From Page 1-] the greater part of Epinette wood, north of Orvillers-Sorel. They held this ground against several counterattacks. Their success here was matched on the front north of Montdidier by their seizure lrom the Germans of St- Aignan farm, southeast of Grivesnes which they likewise held against all assaults. Striking at positions south of the Somme nearest Amiens, the Germans have renewed their .offensive with heavy forces. In desperate fighting with the British and French the enemy has been able to make only slight gains at isolated points, being re pulsed with great loss everywhere else. How well the - valiant Franco-British forces withstood the enemy onslaughts is shown by the fact that on a front of nine miles north of Montdidier, the Germans used more than 100,000 men. Field Marshal Haig's center and right held its ground against the heavy attacks, while the left fell back somewhat around Hamel," south of the Somme and about 12 miles directly east of Amiens. >' French and Germans Contest Ground Between the Avre and the Luce the French and Germans-con tested all the ground bitterly. The enemy was determined to break through and used his masses of infantry in ten reckless assaults, the French mowing the Germans down with artillery fire. On either side of Moreuil, 12 miles southeast of Amiens, the French retired several hundred yards from the villages of Mailly- Raineval and Morisel, the heights around which are still held by the French. South of the Avre, the heaviest fighting centered on Grivesnes. General Ptain's men held stubbornly to their positions despite repeated efforts by the German infantry and then in a counter attack advanced their own lines into the enemy positions. Be tween Montdidier and Lassigny where the German line bends the heavy artillery bombardment which began early this week con tinued violently. Strength of British Line Shown The strength of the British line north of the Somme which the Germans have not been able to budge in ten days, was shown by fruitless enemy attacks at Albert Thursday. Time and again the Germans have tried to advance from Albert only to be repulsed. Another sector of the long fighting front from the North sea to Switzerland has been taken over by American troops and it is announced that they now hold positions on the heights of the Meuse, south of Verdun This position is almost directly north of the American sector northwest of Toul and has not been the scene of any marked activity recently. It joins the Verdun battle field on the The enemy already has raided a listening post on the new sector but the raiders were not able to advance further in the face of strong American artillery fire. Rebels Lose 1,000 Prisoners Government troops in Finland are reported to have occupied the eastern part of Tammerfors, north of Helsingfors and Which has been the center of much fighting recently. One thousand prisoners and some war material were taken from the rebels. It is reported both sides are showing much bitterness. The rebels, or Red Guards, are accused of terrible atrocities by their oppo nents, tjie White Guards, whb are charged with similar acts by the Reds.
