FOE PREPARES FOR NEW BLOW AT AMERIC ANS Germans Sweep Scicheprev Positions With Deluge of Bullets With the American Army In France. May 12.—The Seicheprey sa lient shows signs of again becoming active. The enemy last night and this morning deluged the place with machine gun bullets. On the same front one of the American patrols found a number of German bodies in advanced enemy trenches, where they had probably been left during the heavy American bombardment on the night of May 4. American patrols have entered the enemy lines in the sectors of Lune- VlHe and south of the Verdun, but did not encounter resistance. Official reports of • the German losses in the Seicheprey battle, ac cording to d. prisoner recently cap tured. give 600 killed, wounded or missing. Seicheprey 'was th& scene of the bloodiest battle in which American troops have yet been engaged. Ger man storm troops attacked in strong force and captured the village, but were thrown back to their own lines by a French-American counterattack. In the Luneville sector our'patrols early this morning established the fact that the hamlet of Ancerviller has been abandoned by the enemy. The Germans had not even attempt ed to occupy shell holes in the sa lient. which recently was torn up by our artillery. Quiet prevails to-day on all fronts in which there are Americans, ac cording to reports. Poor visibility has prevented aerial activity. This sector lies along the Rhine- Marne canal, and the American line is practically on the German fron tier. A very short retirement by the Germans would carry them within their own border.

MARBURGER "Everybody is ready and willing to g<J across as then we can all do our bit for our country. We are ready to die if it must be so, but do not worry about me while I am going for I will be as safe as anybody else. 1 have gone this far und I am going the rest of the way if it may mean to be shot on the battlefield, it is no ; more than right for the sons of j every mother to go and fight for her ' and his father, for just think what it . would mean if the Huns would get over here." George A. Marburger, of Eberly's Mills, writes comforting words to his mother in this wise. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Marburger. He enlisted last spring in the Ma chine Gun Corps, and is now a cor : poral in the ll2th infantry. His last | letter reports his being stationed at ! Camp Upton.

RED CROSS TO ~ OPEN BIG DRIVE [Continued from First Page.] day for next week's drive in which not less than $150,000 will be raised in the district for the Red Cross.. Of every dollar raised in this dis trict, however, twenty-five cents stays at home. That means if $200,- 000 is raised $b,000 will stay in the treasury of the Harrisburg Chapter for local expenditure, and Harris burg Chapter" makes excellent use of its money. Next week's campaign, incident ally. is not for membeVs. It is for money. A year ago the city more than subscribed the quota allotted it in the national drive for SIOO,- 000,000. That it will do so next week is a certainty. • | Miss Hurkc a Hi- Card The fact that it was able to se cure Miss Kathleen Burke for an j appearance here is very pleasing to i local Red Cross workers, inasmuch I as she is in great demand through- I out the country. She will arrive here ! about noon to-morrow from j ter and will be the guest of Sirs, j Marlin E. Olmsted over night. Miss Burke's story of her experiences in j Antwerp up to the. time the city j surrendered to the Germans, in Bel gium. on the French and the Italian fronts is cramfull of interest, liahlii Wise To-nigbt Rabbi Stephen S. Wise will have an appreciative audience at Chest nut Street Auditorium to-night. Rabbi Wise will warn his audience against a compromise peace, and he will tell Harrisburg that if Europe had not stood idly by and witnessed the ravishment of France in 18 T l, when the Germans • forced an in- , demnity of a billion francs and the j ceding of Alsace-Lorraine, the pres- I ent war would not have occurred. ! And he will say that if the Germans 1 are decisively beaten in this war the 1 peace of the world will be assured y for centuries, while if the Huns are ! not beaten the inevitable conquer- | ing of the entire world is only a i matter of time. The affair at the auditorium to- I night is an invitation dinner to the ! executive organization commitee. i which will be the guests of W. T. Hildrup, chairman of the city cam- | paign. Parade Plans Maturing That next Saturday's parade will be a feature event is insisted by the executive committee of the Red Cross.

Heinz Urges Farmers of State to Market Wheat Early; Grange Is Helping Co-operating fully with state and national Food Administration officials in the program which has been out for food conservation, the Pennsylvania State Grange hag sent out letters to subordinate grange as sociations in Pennsylvania asking them to lend assistance in the execu tion of these programs. Under date of May 13 a form letter has been sent out to the subordinate granges over the signature of John A. McSparran, Master of the Pennsyl- vania Grange Association, endorsing the work of the various food commit tees and subjoining a copy of a letter of Howard Heinz, Federal Food Ad ministrator for Pennsylvania. Administrator Heinz in his letter, addressed as an "Appeal'to the Farm ers of Pennsylvania," urges farmers to market their wheat as early as pos sible, preferably before May 20. af firming that England and France will need every kernel we can send. He points out that even if 90 per cent, of all Pennsylvania farmers have sold their wheat, the other 10 per cent, should also do so. He says, "Hoarding farmers and pro-German farmers are becoming mote and more uncommon in Pennsylvania." Further he adds that "arrange ments have now been put into effect whereby local millers and warehouses will buy all wheat offered." He urges each farmer to "make It a matter of 'I local pride to see that there are noj wheat slackers In the section." Heinz points out that after due allowanced has been made to meet seed and flour* requirements, every bushel of'wheat? should be marketed.
