This mileage is held "by all-Amer-j j ican" forces under command of Am-! erican officers located at six differ-! i ent places along the lighting line.! ' Other Americans are at the front j with British and French units.

After the conference. Represen tative Caldwell, of New York, said, ' as far as America is concerned, "the I war will begin next September."

JULY 4TK FETE HAS A PURPOSE Independence Day Will Not Be a Picnic, Say Com mitteemen "Harrisburg's big Independence Day celebration is not to be a big | picnic. It is to be an affair with a i mighty serious purpose." This is the announcement that comes to-i day from the headquarters of the: committee arranging for the big celebration. The purpose of the whole cele-, bration is to weld into one composite' unit with a united purpose, the en-! tire populace of the United States. | it will be much like a monstrous ad-! vertising scheme with the purpose of; promoting the interest of various' patriotic interests of the United' States, including future Liberty Loan campaigns, the Thrift Stamp cahi paign. Red Cross fund drives, etc. Plans for the celebration in Har-' risburg are being made in answer to a request of President Wilson, j that all citizens of America join with ' our citizens of foreign extraction in i commemorating this Independence; Day as the anniversary, not only of national freedom, but of universarl| freedom. These citizens of foreign I extraction, anxious to manifest their; loyalty to the country which has, fathered them so well and the cause for which it is lighting, have asked for this privilege on the Fourth of. July, and hence the President's proc lamation. Ten thousand dollars will soon be asked of Harrisburg people to fi nance the plans for the proper cele- j bration of this day, but the com-! mittee does not wish the people to j feel that the money will be wasted o"! a foolish display. It will all serve a good purpose they say. C. O. Backenstoss, chairman of the societies and organizations commit tee, of the general committee arrang ing for the Independnce Day cele bration in Harrisbufg, is now busily engaged in completing his commit-! tec's share of the celebration. This ! morning he announced that all or- j ganizations should get into commu-j nicatio with him at the Mayor's of- j flee, gurishing the number of men ' they expect to have in line, that he; may complete his arrangements as! early as possibl. Printed invitations 1 will not be issued to the organize-! tions, he says. No churches or reli-j gious organizations will participate' in the parade because so many of! their members belong to other or- ' ganizations. The schedule of committee meet-1 ings for the day includes one of the parade committee at 4 p. m. and one, of the fire company committee at 8, p. m. Both meetings are scheduled; to be hid at the Mayor's office.

VIENNA'S ANGER AT HIGH PITCH OVER BREAD CUT Von Seydler Accused of Fa voring Agrarians and Trad ers as Against the People By .4sscciat-d Press j UIIICIOII, June 21. —Further infor matlon confirming reports of intense resent Hunt and excitement over the ■ reduction of the liread ration is I I quoted from Austrian newspapers by I the correspondent of the Times, at [The Hague. . Among the subsidiary causes ot | the aimer is the fact that the notili- I I cation ot the reduction was not made ' j until noon Monday, although hud ! ; heen enforced for early that morn- | : in*, when loud and excited protests l | were raised. Premier Von Seydler is accused by | the Socialist Arbeiter Zeitung of i Vienna of producing a disastrous sit j nation by favoring the agrarians and ! i traders. It says the situation could: ■ eitainly have been prevented. The 1 paper rails against Germany and j : Hungary and tells the authorities | they must immediately draw the at- ! tendon of those countries to the fact ! that food conditions In Austria arc • intolerable and demand necessary ' I assistant e. Discontent in ;cnnany Food conditions In Germany are ! becoming worse and there is great ; discontent there owing to reduction lin the bread ration, according to a | Dutchman interviewed by the corre spondent of the Times at The Hague. I The Dutchman had just returned ■ from working In the Krupp plant at Essen which he left because he could not stand the food condition. The | German people, he added, feared to | grumble openly lest they be sent to ; the front. The correspondent says that the testimony corroborates what he has heard from many other witnesses, and adds: "One popular saying Is that the people will pay one hundred marks for a sick dog to eat. The war is becoming very unpopular among the workers but the feeling ebbs and flows with the tide of Germany's success and the Knglish arc generally cursed." PROMOTED IN RESERVES M. S.

Automobile Salesmen and Waiters Placed in Class 1 By Associated Press Washington. June 21. —New regu lations Issued to draft boards to-day by Provost Marshal General Crowder to govern application o fthe work or fight order, do not rule specifically upon the status of professional base ball players or other classes which may be affected, but emphasize the section of the order placing games and sports among the occupations classed as nonuseful. In an oral statement announcing the regulations, officials of General 'rowder's office said that "at pres ent" the occupation of a baseball player is regarded as nonproductive but that until a case has been ap pealed from a local board there would be no ruling on the subject. "Local boards will consider cases of withdrawal of deferred classifica tion with common sense," General Crowder's instructions say, and they nam eillness, vacation, the impos sibility of securing productive em ployment without a change of resi dence, as reasonable grounds for waiving the general order. While salesclerks in stores and clerical workers in offices are classed as non producers, boards are directed to exempt department stor executives and skilled workers attached to such establishments. Traveling salesmen will be considered as engaged in productive employment but automo bile salesmen in cities will not. it was explained. Pubic or private chauf feurs are held to be non-producers only when they combine other work with their mechanical duties. I/ocal boards are asked to assist registrants to obtai nnew employ ment through the federal employ ment service and are given power to postpone action while effort is be ing made to place men in occupa tions held productive. "When It has been determined that a person in deferred classification is an idler or is engaged in non-produc- COMTESSE DE BRYAS ARRIVES IN CITY FOR RED CROSS TALKS Noted Frenchwoman to Make Several Addresses Here This Evening and Tomorrow; to Tell of War's Devastations Comtesse Madeleine de Bryas, noted Frenchwoman, who is to ad dress a number of meetings here to night and to-morrow, as therepre sentative of the Committee on Pub lic Information, arrived at three o'clock this afternoon, coming from Washington.

Another dif -1 ficulty has been the similarity in col or between the Italian and Austrian uniform. The Austrian losses have been ex tremely heavy. Although there is much sharp lighting, there are many lulls during which the only distrac tion of the armies is watching the bombing operations of the rival avia tors. Hills Strewn With Dead The lighting on the Montello plat eau continues to be severe, as it is felt by the Italians that the loss of this position will be more important than the withdrawal from a few kil ometers of ground along the Piave. The conditions there are also bad, owing to the wooded hills, which are crossed by seventy-two ravines, each one of which constitutes a separate line of defense. Many of them are still strewn with dead, an indication of the intensity of the Austrian re sistance as the enemy was slowly pressed back from points he had won on the first rush. Italians Sot Nervosa on Fire The Austrians. early in the offen sive. had almost half the plateau, but now they have only about one-third, including many of their best posi tions, such as the town of Nervesa, which has been set on fire by the Italian artillery.

"The regulations provide that per sons engaged in the service of food and drink or either in public places, including hotels and social clubs, are engaged in non-productive employ ments. This, however, does not in clude managers, clerks, cooks or oth er employes, unless they are engaged in the actual serving of food and drinks."

When she arrived In this country, April 10. as a speaker for the American Committee for Devas tated France, she was asked to take part in the Liberty Loan campaign. Her sales mounted to many thous ands of dollars during the campaign. People who have heard the Com tesse say that she is an excellent speaker. She is described as having the power to make her aundience see and feel what she has seen and felt in her serlec of remarkable and in teresting experiences in devastated France.
