Council Refuses Request . of Camp Hill Firemen Cump Hill, Pa., July 18.—At a re ! cent meeting of Camp Hill council, i Robert E. Cahill. president of the I Camp Hill fire Company, went be fore that body and asked a $25 con- I tribution for the company. The fire company has never received any support from the Camp Hill council and Mr. Cahill • took the position that it was only fair to the taxpayers that some recognition be given the only organized fire protection afford ed the borough. After a heated dis cussion the council refused to give the company any support whatever this year and defeated a motion that $25 be given the fire fighters. Shiremanstown, Camp Hilt's small neighbor has an excellent motor ap paratus. while the Camp Hill com pany has nothing but an antiquated horse-drawri vehicle, and have no horse with which to draw it. The excuse given by the council for not giving the company support, is lack of funds.

Som mer. AMERICANS GO~ "OVER THE TOP" [Continued from First Page.] ance, but here and there they put up a stubborn fight, which the American shock units quickly over came at the point' of the bayonet and at muzzles of their weapons. American storm troops in large numbers launched, in co operation with the French, a powerful offensive on the line to the north of Chateau Thierry this morning. The Americans passed beyond nearly all their objectives, in cluding the Paris-Soissons road. The town of Soissons now is well within the range of the American guns. General Foch, the allied comman der-in-chief, has taken the aggres sive on an important scale, attack ing this morning on a twenty-five mile front between the Aisne and the Marne—the westerly side o" the Germans' Maine salient. The attack appears to be a signifi cant counterattack to the German drive the Marne-Rheims- Champagne front. From various sources come reports that the battle is progressing favorably to the al lied forces, which presumably in clude Americah troops. Gain 2 Miles The front of the attack runs from Fontenoy, six miles west of Soissons. to the town of Belleau, on the Cllg non river. Few details of the battle are yet available, the main fact offi cially stated being that at various points along this front progress of from a mile and a half to two miles has been made and that prisoners have been trUen. The situation on this front pre sents interesting possibilities. The battle line, when the German offen sive paused at the Marne early in June, closely resembled the letter V, with the acute angle blunted. Since their attack on Monday morning the Germans have made progress which has changed the form of the line to that of the letter U, the right leg of which is shorter than the left. Serious Threat at Huns From Fontenoy, at the tip of the left leg, to Rheims, on the end of the right, is about thirty-seven miles. The distance from the Aisne to the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH present battle front south to the Marne is about twenty-tlve miles. It is along the left leg of tho U that the tilled omjaught began this ! morning. Behind the allied lines is j thfe forest of Villers-Cotterets with j i a network of strategic wagon roads J j and three railway lines. In front of j | them there is an important railroad! : line running southward from Sois-j [ sons to Chateau Thierry, presumably j j used as a .supply artery for a large; | proportion of the enemy troops; ; along the Marne river. This railway ; was about tour miles from the allied | i front when the attack was started i | to-day. If the attack of the allies is what ! it appears to be. it is a serious threat j | to, the whole German position south' of the Aisne. Rapid progress by thei allies to the eastward would compel! the abandonment of the German of-! Tensive which is now apparently ii-• rected toward Epernay, to the south j of Rheims mountain. It might, if i i successful, even bring about a tier-, man retirement from the whole Sois- j sons-Marne-Rheims salient, with po-j ; tential disastrous results to the en-' ! emy in the loss of men, guns and | material. American Factor Unknown During the past three weeks the French have carried out a number of local operations southwest of Sois sons. along the line where the pres ent allied effort is being made. By I these operations, the French line i from the legion of Ambleny, south :of Fontenoy, to Longpont, nearly : eight miles further south, was ad l vanced and straightened. Before to | day's attack began the French held j | positions along a series of ridges cn| j a live-mile line from Ambleny to St. ; Pierre Aigle. and were in strong cn ! trenchments further south. The part American troops are tak ; ing in the aiiied counter blow is as ! yet unknown. The line mentioned ■ in the official statement from Paris, ! however, includes a section of the 1 positions held by the Americans in ! the neighborhood of Chateau Thi erry. General Pershing's men are I known to be at Belleau and they have been mentioned as being as far north as Torcy, on the south side of the Clignon river, above Belleau wood. Battle Line 105 Miles Measuring from the Aisne river, around the Chateau Thierry, salient i and thence to Massiges in the Cham pagne, the eastern limits of the pres ent struggle, the length of the bat tle line is about 105 miles, which is the widest front 'that has been in active ba'.tle on the western front since the early days of the war. Official rerorts appeared to show the German stroke against the • Marne-Rheims-Champagne line has ■ not gained further ground over I night. At Xanteuil-la-Fosse, the te ; gion southwest of Rheims, a heavy German attack was crushed, while j an assault by Guard regiments north lof Prosnes. east of Rheims, was j broken by the allies. German Gains Small According to unofficial reports *.o --| day. the Germans have made some I slight progress south of the Marne. ! in the region north of St. Agnan. to j the southwest of Dormans, but this advantage was apparently only local. , What appears to be a more import , ant local success by the French is j reported from the easternmost point ; of the front south of the Marne. The French are said to have recaptured I Montvoisin. Chene-la-Relne. and im j portant heights in the vicinity of ; these villages commanding the river ! Marne. Italian troops fighting in the ! area between the Marne and Rheims I are said to have recaptured Clarizet, j two miles northeast of Bligny. British Gain Grows Coincident with the allied attack ; south of the Aisne, the British have ! attacked southeast of Villers-Bre tonneux, on the Amiens sector. This assault, which was on a front of more than a mile, advanced the Brit- I ish line, it is officially stated.. The fourth day of the offensive finds the Germans struggling des j perately to develop the successes ; along the river and between -the I river and Rheims. Enemy progress has been slow and at an enormous cost in casualties. Attack After Attack Attack after attack is being hurled .against the allied troops in these two important sectors. In many places the enemy has been repulsed completely, while his gains have : been made in the face of strong re- I sistance. South of the Marne, despite heavy ! bombardments and the use of fresh troops, the Germans have made no I great gains. The situation there is | rather uncertain, as villages and I heights are constantly changing | hands in the desperate fighting. Im ! mediately south of Dormans. where I'the enemy has made his greatest | penetration south of the river— j about three miles —French and | American troops have gained some j g-ound north of St. Agnan. Astride j the river toward Epernay the Ger i mans are near Montvoison, an ad i vance of about six miles, but they jhave not been able to spread their j progress to the south. | Americans Improve Positions j In the woods and valley west of I the forest of the mountain of I Rheims, the great natural obstacle i south of the city, the Germans have ! driven Jhe Italians and French to within five miles of the Rheims ! Epernay Railroad, the only line of transportation into the city yet held by the allies. Heavy fighting is tak ing place about' Poarcy and Nan teuU-La-Fosse, which mark an average advance of about five miles since Monday. It is more probable the Germans will try to get between the river and the forest of the moun tain of Rheims than to storm the mountain from the west. Pourcy is on the western edge of the forest. Between Dormans and Chateau Thierry, where the Americans have the largest forces fn the line, the fighting is sporadic. Around Fossoy the Americans improved their po- | sitions slightly but further opera- I tions hav been hamper'ed by a heavy rainfall. The Germans main tain an intense bombardment of the American lines. American aviators, according to French obser%ers, brought down thirteen German air planes in the same region Tuesday. The Americans claim nine. Enemy Attacks Fail West and southwest of Rheims the enemy has failed to gain in further attacks. Just east of the city his ef forts have been broken up by the French. In Champagne General Gouraud's defense still is maintain ed and the Germans have been un able to make progress. Reporting on the fighting of Tues day, Berlin says 5,000 additional prisoners were captured, bringing the total to 18,000. The German state ment on Wednesday's fighting has not been received. Flanders, Picardy and the front from the Argonne to Switzerland are quiet. There has been only raiding and slight artillery activity on the British sectors. The enemy shows no inclination to start another blow until the present effort has run Its course. In the Italian mountain region there has been lively activity at va rious points but no fighting of mo ment. French troops In Eastern Albania have taken another village in their advance up the Devoli val ley and added to their captures of prisoners. ( CUMBERLAND VALLEY CARLISLE SCHOOL j HISTORIC PLACE Gen. R. H. Pratt Was Founder of the Famous Training School For Indians • Carlisle. Ba„ July 18.—Much specu lation has been caused here by the announcement that the Carlisle In dian School, famous for 37 years as a government institution for the training of redmen is to be abandon ed for this purpose and is to be giv en to the War Department for use. It is understood here that the plan is to make Carlisle the center for a big rehabilitation hospital. Officials at the Indian School are note yet aware of the extent of the j changes or when they will take place and are anxiously awaiting an nouncement of the plans. The Carlisle School has been prom inent in national affairs for nearly 40 years and many of the most famed Indians of the present day have been graduated from the local school. It has sent a number of men Into the present service, the latest to go be ing John Francis. Jr.. superintendent for fifteen mohths. who was com missioned a first lieutenant in the United States Army, being succeed ed by Claude V. Peel. The site of the Carlisle school is one of historic interest. It was used in the Revolutionary War as a bar racks and training center and was the site of the famous Washington- I burg, where munitions for the Con tinental Army Were manufactured. Hessian prisoners were kept here and built the old guardhouse which still stands. Major Andre was kept there for some weeks prior to his ex | ecution. Ijiter it became a Govern l ment army post and was so maintain !ed until the late sixties. During the | invasion by Lee in 1863, the barracks j were shelled and burned, but some I of the buildings were later rebuilt. I Thirty-nine years ago. Captain, I now Brigadier General R. H. Pratt. !U. S. A., retired, brought the first party of Indians here and founded the school. He was for many years the superintendent and was succeeded by Major Mercer, the latter being fol lowed by Moses Friedman, later by O. H. Lipps, now general supervisor pt Indian Schools, Lieutenant Francis and Mr. Peel. In spite of several efforts to have the school abandoned and taken to ! the , West, it has been maintained | here. The number of pupils now at ! the school is about 400, the majority i being in all parts of Pennsylvania and i New Jersey under the outing sy 8- j tem. ! The passing of the famous Carlisle IClndian School recalls th spendid I work of General R. H. Pratt, its | founder, who is well known to many 1 Harrisburg people. He was the life j and inspiration of the institution and ! gave it its momentum at a time when i his theories were much criticised, i Colonel Pratt, then commander of j a body of soldiers acting as guard of | Geronimo and other Indian prisoners jat the old fort in St. Augustine. ! Florida, years ago. became impressed | with the thought that something good could be done for the Indians in the way of education and proper | environment. His theory was that de j tachment from tribal surroundings ! and a fair chance among white people would work marvelous changes in i the Indian character. He proved that his theory was correct. Thousands |of the finest Indian boys and girls j have been sent out of the Carlisle ! School to engage in useful profes | sional, business and other occupa- I tions. He was given possession of the old Carlisle barracks in 1882, about 150 Indian boys and girls being sent as the first body of students. Later the student body 'averaged about 1,000 a year. The first girls and boys came from the most remote tribes and the people of Carlisle still recall their saT-age and unkempt . appear ance on their arrival at the barracks. General Pratt continued in charge of the school fo'r many years and his name will always be associated with that great work. His retirement as the head of the institution was deep ly regretted by all interested in In dian education. He was an Ideal leader and to this day the Indians speak of him with love and admira tion. As an Indian fighter on the frontier in the earlier days he had earned their respect and later as their leader he became their guide and mentor. Manifestly the closing of the insti tution has been no secret among those who are familiar with Its re cent history. For years an effort has been made to close the school by those interested in the reservation system, but strong influences always prevented. Not long ago. Superin tendent Francis enlisted in the army and a few days ago V. T. Peale. the chief clerk was appointed disbursing ofTicer of the Indian funds. The outing system was the factor ihat worked out the salvation of the Indian students. Every * summer thousands of them were sent out to farms and other occupations, return ing to the school in the Fall. There are at present about 800 connected with the school, half of whom are now on farms and in other occupa tions for the summer months. These will be transferred to other schools. It Is understood the school will be closed on the first of September and the buildings will be turned over to the Government for hospital uses. The property embraces about 300 acres of the finest land In the Cum berland Valley. . It has been suggest ed that it may become an army bar racks after the war as it was for many years before the Civil War, and during that period.

John Eberley, form er Carlisle councilman, appointed su pervisor of streets at the expiration ! of his term, has quit his post. He de- i clined to obey the instruction of W. C.
