FRIDAY EVENING, this report to the chief of the British general staff In writing: "We are being undermined in Italy because the British ambassador in Italy Is being blackmailed by the Germans and in afraid to send In formation to England." Name on Vice List Captain Spencer added that the ambassador's name was also on the list prepared by German secret agents of 4 7,000 British men and women. Earlier Captain Spencer and Mrs. Villiers Stewart had declared that the persons named were said to be addicted to vice and held In bondage to Germany through fear of exposure. Captain Spencer said he was born in the United States and had served In the American Navy. Mr. Pemberton-Billing, the de fendant, is publisher of the newspa per Vigilante and a member of parliament. NEW FIRE APPARATUS TO BE IN CITY SHORTLY Commissioner Gross received word to-day that the new motorized chem ical and hose truck for the Paxton Fire Company will be delivered in about three weeks, his piece of ap paratus, the last to be motorized, was expected to be finished and in serv ice early in the spring but lack ©f materials and other delays due to government orders, prevented tilling the contract in time. In speaking of the housing of Al derman Murray's automobile at the Friendship fire company house, Commissioner Gross said he intended to consult Solicitor Fox to learn who has authority to order the car to be removed. He stated, however, that he understood the automobile would be removed soon to a nearby garage which is now in the course of con struction. ENEMY IS GAINING GROUND ON AISNE [Continued from First Pju?e.] Vezilley appears virtually unchang ed, the Germans failing in all their efforts to win ground. The energetic defense on the right wing is exemplified by the fighting at Thillois, three miles east of Rheims, where the Germans enter ed the town only to be driven out by a French counterattack. By such resistance the safety of Rheims is mrtnentarlly safeguarded but observers of the operations view its ultimate fall as apparently inevi table. Expected to Reach Marne The probability of German pene tration right up to the banks of the Marne in the *.' enter of the advance is likewise indicated in the news dis patches which mention the near ap proach of the Germans to Chateau- Thierry apd Dormans, both of which towns are on the Marne river. The civilian population has left Chateau-Thierry and some of the refugees from it have already pass ed through Paris for the interior. On the British front the Germans are active with their artillery ea.st of Amiens and in the Albert region to the north as well as on portions of the Flanders front, but no infan try movements of note are reported. French Main Lines Hold Firmly Before Desperate Efforts of Crown Prince By Associated Press Paris, May 31.—The allied '.eft flank on the Alsne front ha* been forced back by violent German at tacks in .the region of the Ailette river. It is announced officially. Near Soissons and further south German attacks broke down, the French maintaining their positions. In the center the Germans made a slight advance north of the Marne. Further east, and also northwest-and north of Rheims, all the German efforts were vain. The French by a counterattack won back the town of Thillois, west of Rheims. Hold Main Line Withdrawing before the German onslaught in the region of the Ailette, the French fell back on po sitions north of Blerancourt (nine miles southeast of Nayon) and Epagny (seven miles northwest of Soissons). The French are holding their positions along the road be tween Soissons and Chateau Thierry as well as in the eastern outskirts of Soissons. The statement follows: "The Germans extended their ef fort on their right as far as the Oise by violent attacks in the region of the Ailette. The French fell back fighting, on positions to the north of the line Blerancourt-Epagny. "In the region of SoisSons and further south the German attaclc broke down before the heroic re sistance of the French, who main tained their positions in the western outskirts of the town and along the road to Chateau Thierry. , "In the center the Germans suc ceeded in making a slight advance in the regions north of the Marne. Further east, as well as northwest and north of Rheims. all German ef forts to make progress were vain. An energetic counterattack deliver ed by French troops won back Thillois." American Birdman Is Captured in No Man's Land With the American Army in France, May 31.—An American avla -1 tor was captured by the Germans \ ■ V _ HARRISBURG Ojfrft&l TELEGRAPH!

While at Camp Hancock lie was transferred to the 112 th U. S. Infantry. In Harrisburg he was employed in the office of the load foreman of engines in the Penn sylvania Railroad station. yesterday after his machine had fal len into No Man's Land. The fight in which the American's machine was damaged took place when five American pursuit machines engaged with a German aerial squad ron while protecting a party of Brit ish bombers who were returning from a raid early this morning. Two of the enemy machines were shot dpwn and another was forced to land out of control. The American's airplane came down between the lines. He was im mediately covered by German rifle men and ordered to walk into the enemy trenches, which he did with his hands above his head. YANKEES MOWING DOWNTHE ENEMY [Continued from First Page.] Cantigny ire being improved con styntly. The Americans have not budged an inch since they gained the town. Every time the enemy artil lery starts a bombardment, the American guns retaliate and smoth er the opposition fire. German airmen, flying at a great height, penetrated many miles to the rear of the American lines to-day. They were driven off by anti-aircraft guns and were unable to drop any bombs. TICKETS FOR LECTURE The Chamber of Commerce free tickets for next Monday evening's patriotic war lecture, "Wake Up America," In the Chestnut Street Au ditorium, by W. H. Farley, are being distributed in !arge numbers. A large number of tickets for this' lec ture are still on hand and may be obtained free of charge at the of fices of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce in the Dauphin Building. HOSPITALS ARE AGAIN ATTACKED BY HUNS [Continued from First Page.] ters were killed in a house a short distance from a hospital. Another nurse was standing on tb upper floor of the hospital ministering to patients, when a piece of bomb struck her, piercing her lung. Nurses Cheer Patients Five American nurses were in the same hospital. They were Mlbs Na talie Scott, of New Orleans; Miss Helen Spalding, of Brooklyn; Miss Mary McCadlish, of Atlanta: Miss BJanche Gilbert, of Cleveland, and Miss Constance Cook, of San Fran cisco. * While the raid waa in progress they went about cheering the pa tients. Although many serious cases of sick and wounded were aggra vated because they had to be moved, the nut'scs had to carry them to the lower floors and the cellar. "It was. an exciting time," said Miss Scott, "but there was no panic. Some of our boys actually slept! through it all, although their beds were showered with broken glass." Ambulances Wrecked Three American ambulances were caught in the raid. Sergeant Ethan Wells, of San Francisco, who was driving the first ambulance, said: "Our three ambulances were hur rying to hospitals with patients when a bomb wrecked a building directly in front of us, in a narrow street. Our ambulance was perforated by fly ing missiles. We were all hurled out, but escaped with a few scratches." Private Robert A. Bowman, of Galveston, who was in the same car, said: "There was a terrific explosion. The next thing I knew I was lying on the ground. I looked around and heard the patients groaning. I pulled myself together and found the pa tients uninjured except for the shock. Our ambulance was shot to pieces." The second car apparently received the full force of the explosion, and was completely wrecked. Wounded Beg For Help Private Roscoe E. Willy, of Madi sonville, Texas, was driving the third car. Sergeant J. W. Nolder, of Al toona, Pa., and three patients were with him. "There was wreckage all around us," said Sergeant Nolder. "Injured civilians in the shattered houses nearby were begging for help. We all pitched in arf soon as we had re covered from the shock and assisted in the work of rescue. We had to dig many persons from the debris by the light of small pocket lamps. Meanwhole enemy aircraft were buzzing overhead. The barrage was deafening. Bombs continued to fall. It was worse than anything in the trenches. I would rather have been in No Man's Land." "KULTUR" RECOGNIZED In one village a large funeral es tablishment opposite a hospital was bombed and wrecked. Although the patients in the hospitals were hur riedly covered with blankets and car ried off to cellars, there was no panic anywhere. i The Aipericans and French joked i and laughed. One American who par ticipated in the capture of Cantigny I said: "We've got Fritz's goat. We licked the tar out of him when we took Cantigny. Now that some of us are sick or injured and helpless he wants revenge. If murdering sick and wounded defenseless women and old men and children is his idea of 'kultur' we must destroy 'kultur' if it takes a hundred years." ALLIED CHIEFjTSEE NO CAUSEFOR ALARM [Continued from First Page.] man advance. Gabriel Hanotaux, in the Figaro, compares the strategic situation with that on the eve of the battle of the Marne. All the com mentators, however, express confi dence that the high command will so dispose the allied troops as tp restore the situation, which L'Homme Libre considers to have reached its maxi-| mum point of gravity yesterday. The Petit Parisien says the government officials who saw the army chiefs yesterday returned in the evening still confident, which it regards as a good sign. It is the resistance of the two wings of the allied forces which in spires the confidence of all the mili tary critics. To take victorious ad vantage of the success they have so far gained the Germans must succeed in bending these two hinges, and all their efforts to do this have up to this time been vain. Reserves Arriv Ing Another reason for the confident feeling is the arrival of allied re serves. The Havas correspondent at the front, who Is considered to reflect the official view, thus summarizes the situation: "The rapid advance of the enemy is due to the temporary numerical in feriority of the allies which has completely changed the aspect of the struggle. It is necessary to go back to the beginning of the war for an analogous situation. This is a war of movement where two armies man euver under the open sky. "Under these conditions the mo mentary advance of an army and the capture of a town may mean nothing. The problem is more vast. For its own reasons our command did not find it' advisable to give battle either on the Somrne or in Flanders after the March offensive. It confined itself to stopping the enemy. "Shall we accept battle this time as we formerly accepted it on the Marne? What is the secret of our command? The Germans have no il lusions as to the value of the success they have gained. They know we have several million picked troops forming in maneuvering masses which they will have to encounter — some where. "If the enemy had the choice of ground for the offensive, we have the much more important choice of the field of battle on which Germany's destinies will be decided. "It will be seen therefore that there is no ground for alarm. We probably are witnessing the prelimi naries to a great battle which both sides wish to be decisive.' Conse quently, it is comprehensible that our oommanders Uo not act hurried ly, but strictly lh accordance with plans agreed upon." EDWARD FRANKLIN CASSELL Edward Franklin Cassell, 45 years old, of Susquehanna township, died early yesterday. Funeral services will be held on Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock from his late home after ♦rhich the funeral procession will go to the Penbrook Church of God, where further services will be con ducted by the Rev. J. C. Forncrook. Burial will be made In Shoop's Church Cemetery. 4VEXCHES THE THIRST Hornford'N Arid Pboitphiite A teaspoonful in a gla.su of water Is very refreshing to the mouth and throat.
