FIRST OF NATIONAL ARMY ONjttONT LINE [Continued from First Page.] no comment upon the indications of an impending; German attack. The first National Army division has taken up a sector at the front, General March also announced. It Is the Seventy-seventh, raised in New York, trained at Camp Upton and originally commanded by Major General J. Franklin Bell. It was taken across under Major Genera! Johnson. Divisions Trained Five American divisions which had been brigaded with the British for | training have been returned to Pershing's command with training completed. Oiie of these is the Thirty-fifth division, composed of Kansas and Missouri troops and commanded by Major General William M. Wright when it left the United States. General March disclosed that the official reports from the Italian front place the number of Austrians cap tured at 18,000 and a large amount of war material. The line of the Piave has been entirely restored by the Italians and in some places has been slightly advanced. Commenting upon the return to General Pershing's command of the five divisions brigaded with the Brit ish, 'General March said It showed clearly the success of the plan for using all facilities to give American units their final polishing. It would not have been possible otherwise, he indicated, to have secured so large a trained force for General Pershing In so short a time. Senators on the Military Commit tee were told by General March at their weekly conference that the ac counts of the large number of cap tured Austrians for some unknown reason were printed only In Amer ican newspapers and not in any of Europe. The achievements of the Italians, however, according to Senators, were not minimized. So far there Is no information to confirm reports. General March aaid, that German troops are being sent to back up the Austrians. Yankee* Hold Own - Military opinion. General March said, found the Austrian attack faulty, because It was spread over so large a front as to make It impos sible to carry through successfully. The Austrian disaster which fol lowed is valuable to the Allies, not only In a military sense, but psy chologically the chief of staff said, because of its stimulating effect upon Italian morale, both among the civil population and the (irmy. The practical result In prisoners and guns taken also was, of course, valuable. During the past week American activities in France have been local In character, but official reports show that the Americans at all times and places have more than held their own, General March said,. Fine ex amples of individual bravery are coming in, he said. 106 MEMBERS IN MOTOR CLUB Lewisburg People Organize For Purpose of Good Roads Improvement in Country EVERYBODY ON THE ROLL Soldiers From Various Camps Visit Relatives and Friends at Lewisberry Lewisberry, Pa., June 29.

The hike to-day is a pre liminary to the first encampment at Mt. Gretna, July 13 to 20. ALUES MAKE BIG GAINS ON HUN [Continued from First Pago.] the positions taken on Friday by the British near Neippe forest, in the Lys sector, are reported. The Brit ish, It is announced, captured more than 400 prisoners In their attack. Attacking the Germans suddenly on two widely separated sectors, French and British troops have Im proved their positions greatly and captured 1,450 prisoners. By their enterprise in taking the initiative unexpectedly, the allies ap parently caught the Germans nap ping and realized their objective in a short time. The British rectified their line east of Hazebrouck. in Flanders. South of the Aisne the French drove the enemy back on the important Ambleny-Montgobert sec tor which bars the open space be tween the forests of Compeigne and Villers-Cotterets. The fighting here continues. Take Important Points Not only did the allies straighten out their lines, but they took from the German salients which would liave suited admirably as "jumping off" points in future operations. Al though the British attacked on a front of three and a half miles and the French on four and onc-lialf miles, each eflor.t was intended as a purely local operation to harass the enemy. In the north the British wiped out the Germans salients which would Nieppe forest northwest of Merviile and that town now is menaced seri ously. Three hamlets were retaken in an advance of one mile and the Germans lost, three hundred prison ers. Australian troops around Mer rls, north of Merviile. made a small bain• and took forty-three prisoners. Lost Ground Recaptured After this check on the Noyon- Montdidler front, the German Crown Prince made a strong attack south of the Aisne for the apparent pur pose of getting in behind the forest of Compeigne. A large part of the gains made then have now been re captured by the French. Important •positions were taken from the Ger mans, whose lines were penetrated at several points to a depth of more •than a mile. The French bag of prisoners totals 1,060. Berlin reports the German troops fls striving to check the Franco- British attacks. Merviile is the farthest point west the Germans reached in yie Lys battle, and the British gain there lessens the peril to Hazebrouck. Not less satisfac tory from the allied viewpoint is the successful French thrust south of the Aisne, which also relieved enemy pressure at a more or less vital point. Airmen Are Busy The Germans show no intention of resuming the offensive, but it may be that the French and British strokes will spur them to action before the allies regain other impor tant positions between Ypres and Rheims. Except in Flanders and south of tlie Aisne, the western bat tlefront has been quiet. Intense aerial activity continues without a letup. The Germans re lated their raids on Paris Friday for the third night ii succession, but few bombs were dropped. In air fighting allied pilots have account ed for fifty-three enemy machines, while Berlin reporta the shooting down of twenty-five allied airplanes. French pilots are bombing military targets in Picardy and north of the Marne, and British bombers persist !n their raids into the region about Metz. Fighting activity on the Italian front is of minor charcter. Artillery duels have increased in vigor along the front. Some Austro-Hungarian trenches on the Asiago plateau have been penetrated by British troops, who took prisoners.

Statements to this effect were made public thi morning by C. W. Kaltwasser, gen eral manager. The priority claims of the com pany for a new boiler with a 510- horsepower normal rating has been satisfactorily disposed of by govern ment officials. An A-3 rating ha< been secured after considerable de luy and the boiler is expected in time to be installed before the win ter season. This boiler, which is capable of producing; 1,000-horse power, together with the other boil ers of 4,000-horsepower normal rat ing, will satisfactorily care for Har risburg's steam heating needs dur ing the winter. The plant of the concern Is beinn somewhat remodeled that there may be no repetition of last winter's un fortunate herft shortage. The four stokers which were installed last September and which were tho cause of a large part of last winter's trouble, are being torn down and being thoroughly rebuilt. Two new double fans have been Installed and two 150-horsepower turbines to drive them will soon be in position. Hay Assails Henry Ford; "He Should Be Defeated" Chicago, j un e 29. "The Repub lican Party is 101 per cent, for this war. There is no geography in the loyalty of the Republicans of the na tion. This was the statement made here by Will 11.

William Bowman, of the Harrisburg Navy, stated to-day that the question of holding the Kipona this year would be determined later in the summer. It was postponed last year on account of the war and the conditions this year may justify omitting the great river carnival until later. Admiral Bowman met with a mis hap in the Dauphin rapids the other day when his motorboat struck a rock and the propeller was disabled. He was out on the river last evening however, in a canoe with his son, making an inspection of the channels and the general river conditions. A large coal fleet is now operating at the northern end of McCormick s Island. More coal has been taken from the river thus far than for many seasons. <JIRL DRINK IODINE ?. elen Michael, 23 years old. 1806 Wallace street, is in the Harris burg Hospital as the result of a dose or iodine, which she took in mistake for medicine last evening.
