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."

"The climate is fine and there is

Mrs. A. D. Cunkle. 411 Herr street.,
Private Cunkle left. Harrisburg last
August with Company D of the old

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.

budged an inch since they gained the
town. Every time the enemy artil

American guns retaliate and smoth

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

ditorium, by W. H. Farley, are being

obtained free of charge at the of

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.

rine Corps is to open a campaign in
the city and has a number of meet
ings scheduled.
The new drive will be conducted
on y much the same manner as had
been planned for this week's drive.
Various organizations throughout
Harrisburg will have charge of- the
meetings on the several evenings.
The Y. M. C. A., the Loyal Order
of Moose and the Rotary Club are
several of the organizations that will
have charge of these evening meet
ings. No schedule has yet been ar
ranged. This, however, will be com
pleted within the next several days.
To Use Platform
The platform and Army tent that
had been erected for use in this
week's drive is still in place and
will be used in the new drive. The
| purpose of the new drive is mainly
to stimulate of boys un-
I der 21 years old, especially those
who are nearing that age.
"Nailing the Kaiser" activities will
continue on Saturday evening. The
Harrisburg Y. M. C. A. will share in
the proceedings of these activities in
Harrisburg. Two nails, one a silver
plated one, will be auctioned off on
Saturday evening to be driven in
Bill's facsimile. John Buch has bid
$1 for the ordinary nail. The silver
plated nail, just presented, is a gift
of James Stiner, of the St. James'
Hotel. The nails will be auctioned
off by Maxwell Hite, Harrisburg's
patriotic auctioneer, who aided in
"Nailing the Kaiser" events at both
Mlddletown and at Harrisburg last
Saturday. Hite has been named by
local recruiting officials as the offi
cial auctioneer for similar activities
throughout the Harrisburg recruit
ing district. Preliminary prepara-
Mons are now being made for these
events in several towns. In each one
some deserving war organization will
share in the proceeds.
