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.

MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURfe TELEGRAPH
Ready and Willing to Go
Across to the Battlefront
_
GEORGE A. 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. He was-well known in
I Harrisburg. and was a butcher in
the Verbeke street market house.
In his letter he comments on the
Red Cross canteen work and tells
how the magazines and refresh
ments, "touched the spot."
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. It. was originally believed
that perhaps 2,000 women would be
in line. It is now thought that the
number will not be less than 3,000.
The service flag division prom
ises to be a large or.e. In this sec
tion women relatives of Harrisburg
men in the service will carry their
service flags, while women or girl
employes of the various industries 1
will also be in line with the service
flag of their organizations. Only
one person will be permitted with
each flag, and there will be no dis
tinguishing signs on any flag. Mrs.
William Jennings is in charge of the
division.

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.
