LINES OF ALLIES
Fresh Troops and New Sup

tente For Coming Battle
ENEMY HALTED BY RAIN
Germans Disappointed at
Meager Military Besults
Gained at Awful Cost
By Associated Press
Along the battle lines in Northern
France the allied troops still await
the shock of renewed heavy fighting
by the Germans. Apparently the
rainy weather has interfered a great
deal with the enemy's transport and
he has not been able to perfect his
arrangements because of the difficul
ties of bringing his supplies over the
battle-torn ground of Flanders and
Ficardy.
Having gained some advantageous
positions in local fighting, the allies
are waiting for the next effort of
the Germans which already has been
delayed much longer than in pre
vious lulls since the beginning of
the offensive on March 21. Mean
while fresh troops and new supplies
are pouring in to strengthen the
allied positions and this fact must
also add to the disappointment of
the enemy who has nothing re
markable in military achievement to
show for his heavy losses of the past
seven weeks.
Heavy Artillery Fire
The artillery tire continues vio
lent on important sectors. The Ger
mans are shelling heavily the Anglo-
French front southwest of Ypres
and the sector south of the Somme.
between Villers-Bretonneux and
Hailles. These sectors saw the
heavy fighting previous to the Ger
man repulse north of Mont Kem
mel nine days ago. Knemy fire
against the southern side.of the
Arras sector, which lies north of
Albert, also has been intense.
There has been great aerial activ
ity on the American sector north
west of Toul and Captain James
Norman Hall, well known as a fiver
in the French and American armies,
is reported missing after a battle
in which he and two other Ameri
cans engaged four Germans. Two
of the enemy airplanes are believed
to have been brought down. Other
Americans also have been meeting
the enemy in the air along the line
east of St. Mihiel, and it Is be
lieved the Germans have concen
trated large forces in an attempt
to wipe out the American flyers.
There has been no infantry fighting
on any of the American sectors.
Faces Political Crisis
Except for fruitless patrol raids
by the Austrians and limited artil
lery fire there has been no activity
on the Italian front. The Austrians
still withhold their attack and neith
er Vienna nor Berlin has said any
thing of it for the past several days.
A political crisis involving the se
curity of the Lloyd George govern
ment has arisen in Great Britain
over the letter written by General
Maurice, formerly chief director of
military operations, in which he
questioned the veracity of the Pre
mier and the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer. In the House of Commons
a parliamentary tilt between An
drew Bonar Law, for the govern
ment, and former Premier Asquith
resulted in the government's accept
ance of a motion by Mr. Asquith
that the House discuss the form of
inquiry to be made into the state
ments of General Maurice.
The motion will be debated in the
House Thursday and the govern
ment has decided to stand or fall on
the vote taken after the discussion.
The government looks upon the mo
tion as a vote of censure and has
called its' supporters to be in the
House for a vote to-morrow.

SHOWS HOW COOKS

Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn, Who Has Met the Plaudits of
Large Audiences at the Y. M. C. A. Hall, Plans Inti
mate Discussion of Food's Relation to Health and
Morals; Lecture to Be Open to Women Only
Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn thrilled .
a large audience yesterday, after- I
noon at Fahnestock Hall by one of !
the really great patriotic addresses !
that have been given in this city, j
Her address was a preface to the
demonstration of war cookery she is
giving under the auspices of the
Telegraph. She attacked with vehe
mence the attitude of the German
nation toward the world and told
how the Holienzollerns have been
crooned to sleep in their cradle with
a song of military character instead
of the sweet lullabys of other lands.
When the Kaiser's children were
rocked to sleep it was to the strains
of a song of conquest which de
clared that the Germans will some
day rule the world, she said.
Regarding the brutality of the
Kaiser she said that where Xero
left off in fiendish brutality there
the Kaiser began. She told how he
had always been unfriendly to the
United States and before the war
started referred to America as a pig
INVENTOR HAS
DEVICE TO BRING
HUNS TO KNEES
James G. Dudley Tells Poor
Richards He Can End
War Before Winter
Philadelphia. May B.—James G.
Dudley, research and experimental
engineer of the Chester Shipbuilding
Company and an inventor of note,
told members of the Toor Richard
Club at their weekly luncheon yes
terday he" had in his possession a
conception which if put into use by
the United States Government "would
knock the sword out of Germany's
hand and end the war before the
snow flies."
Mr. Dudley was careful to explain
that the power he had in mind to
bring Germany to her knees was not
an invention, but a conception so
simple that it was a wonder no one
had ever thought to apply it to this
present war.
"It might cost a hundred million
or a half-billion to bring about final
results," Mr. Dudley said, "but so
sure am I of its success that I would
willingly stake my life, my future
and mv fortune on it."
The experimental engineer said the
plan was submitted to him by an
inventor who had sought to interest
the Government in it. This man. he
said, like other inventors, had set
about to find new and deadly weap
ons to overcome the Huns when the
war started. Mr. Dudley said thia
man had invented many devices, but;
like a true inventor had always
found antidotes for every engine of
destruction. This new conception.
Mr. Dudley said, would absolutely
bring Germany to hrr knees without
sacrificing an Allied soldier, or a
German either, for that matter.
Secret Only For Wllnon
"I will tell no man the secret un
less it be the President of the United
States or one of his Cabinet offi
cers." Sir. Dudley said. "As a tech
nician of some twenty-five years' ex
perience, I know it will work."
After the luncheon Mr. Dudley was
plied with questions by ne jp.\per
men. He was asked if the invention,
or conception, as he called it, had
any bearing upon the reported start
ling discovery of Garabed Giragos
sen, the Armenian inventor, but he
refused to reply.
"If your conception is so startling
are you not afraid to travel around
for fear that German spies might
get it?" he was asked, and to this
he replied:
"A German spy to get this inven
tion would have to get it out of my
head. I realized that the plans
might be stolen by an enemy agent,
so 1 first memorized thein and de
stroyed them. No danger of that. "
Intention Board to Get Plan
Mr. Dudley said that already he
has made plans to visit Washington
to place his idea before the Inven
tion Board, of which Thomas A. Kdl
son is president. He said he has
been promised a hearing, and pre
dicted that if the Government ac
cepts the conception which he has
to offer the war will be over before
winter sets in.
City to Remove Poles
From River Front Park
Commissioner Gross said he is
planning to make arrangements for
the removal of the few poles In
River Front Park userl for wires by
local public service companies. As
the entire park system is lighted with
standards and underground wires,
park department officials said there
Is no need for the tall poles on ihe
park property. The discussion about
the removal of the poles was brought
about by the erection of three large
ones along River Front near Seneca
street, for a street light.

EXPLODING OIL
TANK CAUSE OF
C. I. & S. CO. FIRE
Thirty-Five Thousand Gallons
of Fuel Destroyed in
Spectacular Blaze
FLAMES SHOOT INTO AIR j
Great Crowd Drawn by Ex
plosion Heard All
Over City
Thirty-five thousand gallons of oil
were consumed when a huge oil
storage tank feeding the open hearth
at the Central Iron and Steel Com
pany exploded with a terrific blast
at 1.30 this afternoon. The flames
shot many feet into the air, blow
ing out both ends of the huge fur-;
naee. The value of the oil was about
$3,500.
Under the oil lank is a pit Into
which any oil which leaks collects
and later flows through a drain to
I the river. It is thought a spark from
: a passing engine ignited the oil col
| lected in the pit and the heat caused
i the explosion of the oil in the tank.
I The Friendship. Paxton, Susque
hanna and Washington companies
worked for an hour and a half to!
extinguish the blaze.
Kirc Draws Hundreds
The oil from the huge tank, which j
is situated at the end of the gas
house, is fed through pipes into each
end of the open hearth, where it is
ignited to furnish heat to melt the
steel.
The flames were seen by hundreds
of workmen and the alarm was
turned in from Box 4 41' soon after
the lire began. The blast accompany-'
ing the flames was heard in many
parts of tile city and drew crowds
to the boundaries of the steel com
pany property. The flames tlie first
few moments were very spectacular,
shooting many feet into the air and
raging in the ruins of the tank with
intense fury for an hour.
While many men are employed by
the company at the time the fire be
gan, none of the workmen was in
the vicinity of the lire when it be
gan. and no one was injured by the
(lames or bins'. Rumors that, the toi>
of the blast furnace had blown off
as it did once before caused many
anxious inquiries to come to the of
fices after the explosion occurred.

Puts Town in Enviable
Class
Harrisburg will not be called upon
to send one man to the training
camps under the draft call of May
25, Major Murdock, officer in charge
of the State Draft Headquarters, said
to-day.
This is the first announcement of
the Government that enlistment cred
its are again to be counted against
the draft in communities where vol
unteer enlistments meet the draft
quotas.
Under the original ruling Harris
burg had so many volunteer enlist
ments that tt was made entirely free
from the requirements of the first
draft. Indeed, it was not until Jan
uary that it became necessary to call
men from this city under the selec
tive service law.
Harrisburg has one of the very
best recruiting records in the coun
try. No other city in Pennsylvania
has piled up sufficient volunteer en
listments to twice escape calls under
the draft act.
Major Murdock is working out t,he
quotas for the state under the call
for men to leave May 25 and will
have them ready in a few days. More
than 20,000 men will be required to
go from Pennsylvania to the training
camps this month.

By Associated Fress
Willi the American Army in
I-'rance, May 7.—"Jimmy" Hall is gone
and the whole American air service is
mourping his ioss. All are wonder
ing whether lie was killed or was
able to bring his machine safely to
earth after his battle in the air over
Pagny stir Moselle. Captain Hall
was popular throughout the Army
and he had won admiration by his
daring coolness and skill in han
dling his machine.
The captain's flying companions

for a maneuver unheard of so fir
as American and French pilots in
this section of France are concerned,
it has been considered dangerous to
the last degree to bring up a machine
sharply from a downward plunge be
cause the strain is almost certain to
cause the collapse of some vital part
of the plane. The German aviator
whom Captain Hall was pursuing,
being hard pressed, adopted this des
perate expedient to escape death and

a stream of bullets into the bottom
of Hall's machine.

To Bring Suit For
Unpaid School Tax
11. P. Oves. school treasurer for
191fi and 1917, said to-day that in
compliance with instructions from
the School Hoard he will he com
pelled to briiiK suit May 15 for all
unpaid 1916 and 1917 school taxes.
The School Board took this action
for the reason that so much tax is
unpaid a year or more after It be
came due that they are compelled to
borrow, with interest, $30,000 to
$40,000 from the banks each year to
pay the running expenses of the
school district, while if the tax were
paid promptly they would have
money on deposit, drawing interest.

WRECKED ON SIDING
IN NICK OF TIME
Quick Wit of Operator Who Switches Wildly Careering
Draft of Thirty-Five Heavily-Loaded Freight Cars,
Prevents Wreck in Passenger Shed Where Trainload
of Soldiers Was Standing; Three Coaches Smashed
Only the quick work of the opera
tor in SV tower in the Harrisburg
yards prevented thirty-five heavily
loaded runaway freight cars from
careening wildly through the passen
ger trainshed of the Pennsylvania
railroad early this morning. A train
loaded with soldiers was standing in
the station. The runaways were
switched off the main track of the
Cumberland Valley railroad onto a
section on which three wooden pas
senger coaches were slanding at the
foot of Third street.
The cars composed a runaway
draft which broke away from the
siding at Lemoyne and tore wildly
across the Cumberland Valley rail
road bridge into the city at thirty
miles an hour.
The three empty passenger coachtv
were pushed off the end of the sec
tion of track and crushed against the
transter shed of the Adams Express
Company. A boxcar, containing many
tons of pigiron, and a coalcar were
telescoped and derailed in the crash.

no change in the situation.
Premier Clemenceau visited the

jHe expressed particular pleasure at

of five hundred yards west of Mor
lancourt, just above Sailly le Sec.
Notwithstanding a heavy barrage
the Germans were unable to prevent
their advance.
His Guinea Pigs and White

There are more ways than one
of getting into Class Al of the draft.
Ofcourse the ideal procedure is to

some trade or profession essential to
furnishing Uncle Sam with necessi
ties and then to be in perfect physi
cal condition. But it cannot he said
that S. P. Mehringr, of Hanover, felt
that he had these qualifications. Mr.
Mehring's protest to the district draft
board of appeal was unique, uncom
mon and emphatic, as he requested
to be put in Class 4 and not identified
as a fighting man:
"What am I engaged at?" re-
I sponded he to the board's inquiry.
"Why I am raising guinea pige, rab
bits and white mide for food, for re
search work and for pets, and I am

Berlin Ordered to Give

Suits of Old Clothes
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, May B.—The city of
Berlin has been ordered to produce
forthwith 40,000 complete second
hand suits for war workers, prin
cipally those engaged in railway and
farming work. It is to be a "volun

the clothes are not forthcoming they
will be taken by force. This applies
especially to persons whose social po
sition warrants the assumption that
their wardrobes are well stocked.
Monday was the first day for col-J

Francis E. Bobb is the switch op
