FRENCHWENEMY
A JIARD BLOW
[Continued from First Page.}
which lies seven miles southwest of
Antheuil.
Develop Successes
Further to the southeast along the
line, the French continued to de
velop their success of yesterday,
gaining additional ground on the
Marne front, east of the Retz for
est, by forcing the Germans back
further in the vicinity of the Cha
vigny farm.
On the British front there were
only raiding operations. The Ger
mans, however, apparently are
contemplating a further effort to
regain the positions recently taken
by the Australians, with American
assistance, in the Amiens area south
of the Somme. The German guns
last night were actively bombarding
the British lines in this region.
Report Activity
The French war office reports
considerable artillery activity to the
west and north of Chateau Thierry
on the Marne front, where the
Americans are holding several miles
of the line.
French troops again have been
successful in a resumption of the
'nibbling" tactics which the allied
command has followed while the
Germans prepare for a new blow.
The fighting activity on the western
front, however, still is much local
ized. From the enemy lines come no
Indications that the Germans are
abotit to strike.
Important positions on a front of
txtfo miles to a depth of two-thirds
of a mile and 350 prisoners were
taken by the French in their latest
effort in the region of Longpont,
northeast of Villers-Cotterets. The
sector on which the gain wa made
is just south of where the French
last week made important local
gains in the region of St. Pie .e
Aigle and northward for six miles
toward the Aisne. NO counterattacks
have been made by the enemy, nor
has he struck back at the Austral
ians in their new position astride
the Somme. -
Huns Drilled For Drive
•For several weeks the Germans
have been drilling and instructing
special attacking divisions behind
the German lines, leaving the "ront
positions to be guarded by mediocre
troops. German aerial activity has
decreased in the past few days and
it is probable the airmen also are
making ready for the next on
slaught. The Germap artillery fire
has increased to above normal only
on certain sectors.
It is not unlikely the enem will
depend on the element of surprise In
the impending blow as he did on
March 21 and in the attack against
the Chemin-des-Dames.
Bomb German Cities
While the Germans have been
spreading reports of an attack
against the British, it now is known
they have not constructed defensive
works on the front between Soisson*
and Rheims. The usual interval be
tween enemy offensive movements
has about expired.
Rr.tente airmen are keeping up an
active bombardment of the area be
hind the German lines. British tliers
again have invaded German, drop
ping bombs on Kaiserlautern, east
of Metz, and on Luxemburg. In
aerial fighting British and French
airmen have accounted for twenty
five German machines.
Patrol activity and local • opera
tions: are Jncreasing in numb -r on
the Italian mountain front. On the
lowet Piave 'he Austrians, It is es
timated, lost 20,000 men killed,
wounded and prisoner In the action,
last week in which they were driven
back across the river, relieving
somewhat the pressure against
Venice.
In Western Albania French and
Italian troops are withstanding
strong counterattacks by the Aus
trians. All positions have been
maintained on the heights of Bolnia
and slight progress made elsewhere.
Various reports of happenings in
Russia in connection with the mur
der of German Ambassador Von
Mirbach lack official confirmation.
Germany, apparently, has not yet
acted. An advance toward Moscow
has not been reported, although the
Germans have had large forces of
troops near Smolensk, 2SO miles,
west of Moscow.
Y.M.C.A.DRIVE

FULL SUCCESS
First Day's Campaign Shows
Expenses Will Be Raised
Money Needed For Current
A drive for $6,000 for current ex
penses of the Central V. M. C. A.

held in the assembly room of the
association building. The money is
to be applied to a total of $16,000
of which SIO,OOO has already been
contributed. Of. this sum, SB,OOO
was given by members of the
finance committee of the "Y" board
of directors ,and $2,000 was given
by friends of the institution. The
first half day of the campaign in
dicates, the committeemen said, the
complete success of the drive.
At last night's dinner, plans and
teams for the drive were announced.j
W. T. Hildrup, Jr., chalrmitn of the:
finance committee made an address
explaining the purpose of the
money. Of the SIO,OOO already
contributed, S7OOO will be used to!
pay oft the debt hanging on the as
sociation. The remaining sum, plus
the money to be received in the
campaign, will be devoted to cur-
Tent expenses and improvements to
the Y. M. C. A. building. "The con
tributors to the fund are giving for
the upkeep of the association during
the coming year," Mr. Hildrup said.
"They are not going to pay off the
old debt. The finance committee will
take care of that." The amounts
contributed by members of the
finance committee tire: W. T.

Report Thursday
The first report of the solicitors
will be made Thursday noon at a
luncheon and the final report, Fri
day noon. It is confidently expected
that the drive will go "over the
top" with colors flying, General
Secretary Robert B. Reeves, pre
dicts. "If there is more than $6,000
raised, we can make mighty good
use of it," he said this morning.
"There is plenty of place for every
cent in making improvements and
making a live wire institution out
of the Y. M. C. A."
"A big task which confronts the
local association is to keep the home
fires burning while the boys are
away. There are thousands of men
and boys not eligible for military
service in Harrisburg," said Secre
tary Reeves, "and we want to help
them. Gatnes, amusements and
equipment for spiritual and physical
instruction are provided for the use
of these men. Housing and enter
tainment of soldiers who are in the
city, is another big problem. Many
soldiers are daily visitors at the Y.
M. C. A. which is their only home
while stopping in the city between
trains. "That is the reason we need
funds, said Reeves. "We must keep
the Harrisburg association up to the
standard and we're goin£ to do It,"
he asserted.
Penrose Aids in Fight
Against "Dry" Nation;
Raises Point of Order
Washington, July 9.—As a first
step iff the fight against national
prohibition as a war measure. Sen
ator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, to
day raised a point of order against
the inclusfcm of the amendment pro
hibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors after January 1 next, on the
grounds that it was added as a rider
to the $11,000,000 emergency agri
cultural appropriation bill in viola
tion of rules.
As a number of Senators desire
to discuss the question, Senator Pen
rose announced that he would not
ask for a ruling at this time. The
Senate then took up the further con
sideration of uncontested amend;
ments.
The raising of a point of order
did not take prohibition leaders by
surprise as this had been anticipated.
In view of the fact that the amend
ment, which not only prevents the
sale of distilled spirits, beer and wine
after the first of nest year, but pro
hibits the manufacture of beef and
wine after November 1 next, is a
substitute for the Randall prohi
bition amendment inserted by the
House, they contended it would not
be subject to a point of order.
Germans Face Meatless

to Austria.
Deputy Wils, a Socialist, asserted
that a further reduction in rations
was unbearable. Many persons, ihe
said, had no Idea of the misery pre
vailing among the masses. Unemploy
ment was Increasing in Berlin and
wages were insufficient to procure
the necessary lood. To terminate the
war, the speaker added, would be a
greater economic gain than the con
quest of a province would be.

A careful scrutiny this morning of
the favorite corners where the city's
idlers and loafers congregate, failed
to show a single jobless Son of Rest,
Captain Thompson, of the police de
partment, made a round of the va
rious habitats of the loafers and re
ported the complete absence from
the streets of any floaters.
The patrolmen meanwhile are
keeping a sharp outlook on their
beats, and will nab the first able
bodied man that is seen running
around without a Job. The men ar
rested yesterday have been ordered
to report to police headquarters to
night, and if they cannot show
proof that they have man's sized
jobs they will get a chance to reflect
for ninety days in the Dauphin
county Jail.
It is known that hundreds of men
who have been idling are scurrying
around to-day looking for Jobs. At

streets will be kept clean of loafers
fof the remainder of the war.
Many laborers, the police say, se
cure Jobs with one of the contrac
tors- near the city, and work a few
days In order to secure their but
tons and prove they have jobs. After
that they loaf on the streets. The
police will nab this type of loafer
and hall them before the Mayor. Men
who work a few hours around a
hotel, railroad station, livery stable
or garage a day will be told by po-
I lice to get real Jobs.
The practice of loafing three days
after working four days a week will
not pull the wool over* the eyes of
the police. Men will serve steady
time either at useful occupations or
in jail, the police say. Panhandlers
will receive short shift at the hands
of the police.
