TAKEN THIERRY
GIVES YANKEES
WARM WELCOME
Woman Bushes From Cellar
Crying Thanks For Pres
ence of Americans
With the Americans at the Marne.
July 22. —A war correspondent de
scribes the evacuation of Chateau
Thierry in this fashion: Yesterday
morning, an hour after the Germans
ha<l evacuated Chateau Thierry, we
marched into the city following h
squadron of French dAgoons and
mounted American troops. The last
four Germans had quit the town a
few minutes previously, and a quar
ter of an hour later cavalry round
ed up the quartet. They were tele
phonists and had been advising the
retreating Germans by means of
hidden wires regarding the Frartco-
American entry into town.
Out of a cellar, as we entered,
came rushing a little old woman, a
widow she was, we learned later, and
loudly thanked God that the town
had been delivered from the in
■vader, crying again and again,
"Vivent les Americains."
She rushed up to me and kissed
me on both cheeks. Then a cobbler,
ft." years old. duplicated this expres
sion of joy, afterward asking pardon.
'Just then a French artillery gen
eral arrived in an armored automo
bile. The aged woman kissed his
band He leaned over and kissed her
cheeks.
Immediately a stream of armored
m.ii'hincs came dashing into the city
carrying three-inch guns and ma
ch'ne guns. Dragoons and lancers
, came drawing Held guns, which were
soon placed in position on the
heights north of Chateau Thierry.
In the meantime Americans were
already emplacing guns on hill 204,
and soon the retreating German col
umns were under heavy crossfire,
while French. British and American j
airplanes were sweeping low send- |
ing streams of machinegun bullets I
Into their ranks.
The German infantry is falling i
back in an easterly direction.
Americans sprang across the
Marne over pontoons and steel boats
proxided by engineers.
Now a covering movement is un
der way toward the Aisne. The
French and Americans are attacking
astride the Oucq In an easterly di
rection, forging ahead and pinching
in the outlet through whigh the Ger
mans are retiring.
Americans Wrest Fresh
Victories From Foe, Taking
6,000 Men, Says Pershing
Washington, July 22. Kresh suc
cesses for the American forces in
their drive between the Aisne and
the Marne were reported in General
Pershing's communique for yester

\ igor and spirit, the statement said.
More than six thousand prison
ers. over one hundred cannon and
many trench mortars and machine
,vuns huve been taken by American
divisions in the last few days on the
\isne-Marne front. General Per

as meaning that the reference in
Saturday's statement to 17.000 pris
oners included those captured by
both French and American units.

Yankee Raiders Take
Prisoners From Germans;

With llie American Army in
France. Sunday, July 21.—American
troops in the raid into the German
lines in the Vosges Friday night in
flicted 150 casualties on the

clare they had been receiving bad
food and poor ammunition.
Six officers and sixteen men nave
been commended in French and
American orders for "conspicuous
bravery in the preparation and exe
cution," of a raid in the Vosges re
cently. This raid was preceded \>y a
half hour's artillery preparation.
Two hundred Americans, including
thirty-two bandmen as stretcher
bearers, penetrated 800 yards into
the German trenches and inflicted
nearly one hundred casualties. They
also took seven prisoners from crack
Uhlan troops sent into the line sev-
t-ral days before to make a raid on
the American trenches. The Amer
ican raid lasted only forty-rive minu
tes and anticipated the German plan
by only a few hours.
Owes DuPont Company
For Bonus on Powder
\\ ilniinxton, Del.—Claiming that
the Du Pont Powder Company has

through the city itself. Progress east and north by the French
and Americans continued throughout Sunday.
Huns Get Terrible Pounding
The Germans north of the Marne were subjected to a terrible
pounding from the allied artillery to-day. They responded heartily
although unsuccessfully. The allied artillerymen were feeling out
the German rear lines with telling effect, making the enemy's rear
guard action costly.
Prisoners captured near Chateau Thierry confirmed the sound
ness of General Foch's plan when they declared a German retreat
became imperative on account of decreased supplies. Stores of both
ammunition and foodstuffs were becoming low, they said, and the
officers had reported that it virtually was impossible to resist.
Supply Lines Cut
Orders had been issued, the prisoners added, to retreat to a
point ten miles north, but the indications to-night were that the
Germans would not for long be permitted to remain that close to
Marne, for the allied flanking movement is progressing steadily.
Both the railroads and the wagon roads over which the enormous
stores for the German forces must pass are so menaced as to make
them unusable.
Streams of prisoners were being taken to the rear all day Sun
day. Since Thursday the Americans have captured German sol
diers representing ten different divisions.

COUNCIL MAY ACT
ON TRAFFIC OHDI\ANCE
That Council will lose no more time
it- taking final action on the traffic
ordinance, was the opinion expressed
by some of the members to-day. The
new measure. combining all the pres
ent traffic rules and regulations in
one. was introduced several weeks
ago by Mayor Keister. but because
of a difference of opinion about the
speed-limit final disposition of the
ordinance was delayed. The measure
provides a fifteen-mile limit in the
city, but some of the commissioners
declare they will vote against it with
that section unamended. City officials
predict the ordinance will be amend
ed and the speed limit raised.

Half of Potato Crop
Threatened by Blight
A peculiar blight hitherto almost
unknown in this part of the county,
will ruin half or more of the early
potato crop, H. G. Niesley, county
farm agent, said this morning.
Two insects, known as aphids or
plant lice, and leaf hoppers, and two
fungus diseases known as rhyzlcton
ias and fusarium wilt, are respon
sible for many dead and dying potato
fields all over the county, the farm
agent, who has just finished making
a tour of the county reported to-day.
The rhyzictonias circle the roots and
strange the plants, while the latter
disease causes the potatoes to wilt.
The lack of rain is also causing a
hardship of potato raisers.

NAVY SEARCHES
FOR HUN U-BOAT
[ContiuiHttl from First Page.]
close enough to the periscope posi
tively to identify it as a part of a
submersible.
His report placed the submarine
well within Massachusetts Bay.
Other reports of the presence of
the underseas boat also have been
received but not in all cases have
they been of a conclusive nature.
A feature of the attack yesterday,
was the fact that the submersible
j opened fire without warning. In all
j other reported cases of attack upon
an American coastwise boat, warn
ing was given.
Orleans, Mass., July 22.—Efforts
were made by a wrecking fleet to
day to raise the three barges sunk
by a German submarine off shore
near here yesterda- :>d to salvage a
fourth barge and the tug Perth
Amboy, damaged' by shelldre from
the submersible.
If the barges and tug can be saved,
as expected, the exploit of yester- ,
day will prove a costly bit of bus- j
iness for the Germans. It is esti- ,
mated that the three torpedoes
launched at the boat cost $15,000 j
each, to say nothing of the other
ammunition expended in the hour
and a half's bombardment of the I
> essels.
I Orleans, Mass., July 22. —A Ger
man submarine attacked the tug
Perth Amboy, of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, and her four barges three
miles off this town on the south
eastern elbow of Cape Cod at 10.30
o'clock yesterday morning. The
one-sided battle lasted one hour and
a half. The tug was burned to the
water's edge by shellfire, while the
barges Lansford and No. 766, No.
| 103 and No. 740 were sunk by gun
! lire. The barges were bound from
Gloucester for New York and only
one was loaded, her cargo consist
ing of stope.
Of the forty-one persons, includ
ing three women and five children,
on board three men Captain
Charles Ainslie, of the Lansford,
and John Bolovich and John Vitz,
Austrian members of the tug crew,
were wounded. Bolovich probably
will lose on arm. Vitz had one hand
blown off. These two were sent to
d hospital in Boston. Captain Ains
lie wus wounded in both arms by
shrapnel and was treated at the
summer home of Dr. J. Danforth
Taylor, of Boston.
liiirgo Crowd Sees Attack
The attack was witnessed by large
crowds of natives and summer visit
ors who had flocked to the cape for
the weekend, seeking relief from the
heat wave. All accounts agreed that
the submarine's shooting was very
bad. Her torpedo work was no
better. According to Captain Ains
lee, of the Lansford, she launched
three torpedoes at the tug and all
went wild.
The attack occurred only a few
miles from the naval aviation sta
tion at Chatham. Three seaplanes
attacked the raider with bombs, ac
cording to Hear Admiral Spencer S.
Wood, commander of the First
Naval District. The (ire was re
turned, keeping the planes higli
Finally, however, the U-boat sub
merged and was iast observed head
ing south.
Last night the tug was still afloat
and it was thought she could be
saved. The net result of the raid
was the sinking of barges valued in
the aggregate at $90,000, and the
.serious damaging of a tug valued at
SIOO,OOO, at the expenditure of throe
torpedoes which it is estimated cost
the German government a total of
$45,000, and a quantity of ammuni
tion.
Collier Probably Real Prey
The appearance of the raider so
r.ear the treacherous shoals and tide
lips of the cape and her subsequent
actions caused amazement to the
thousands of eyewitnesses rather
than consternation. The natives of
the cape could not understand why
she should waste shells on a fleet of
barges returning to a coal port. It
was reported, however, that the real
prey sought by the undersea boat
was a large collier, northbound. Two
colliers, the Arlington and the J. B.
King, passed Orleans shortly before
the Perth Amboy was tired upon,
but both passed through the danger
i,one in safety.
A fog bank lying four miles off
shore hid the U-boat from her ap
proaching victims. The Perth Am
boy, steaming leisurely through the
warm summer sea, was unaware of
the presence of danger until a deck
hand sighted a streak in the water
shooting by the stern. Before he
realized that it was a torpedo, two
other missiles sped by, wide of their
mark. He shouted a warning. At
the same Instant there was a flash
from the fog and a shell crashed
through the wheelhouse. A frag
ment of the flying steel took off the
hand of Vitz as he grasped the
spokes of the steering wheel. In
quick succession came other shots,
some of which went wild and some
of which struck home.
Captain Ainslic Struck Down
Captain J. H. Tapley, who was in
his cabin at the time, ran out on
deck just as the submarine loomed
out of the fog bank, her deck gun
flashing out its storm of steel. The
bombardment set the tug on fire,
the German turned his atten
tion to the helpless barges.
Shrapnel bursting over the Lans
ford, second in the tow, struck down
Captain Ainslie.
The 'shooting of the enemy was
amasing. For more ;han an hour
the blazing tug and the drifting
barges were under fire before the
enemy succeeded in getting home
enough shots to sink them. In
the meantime the submarine crept
nearer until her range was only a
few hundred yards. This at length
proved sufficient. The barges disap
peared beneath the surface one by
t.ne until only the stern of the L,ans
ford was visible. The tug was a
blazing hulk.
The crews, with the three women,
the five children and the three
wounded, rode ashore while naval
hydroairplanes came out, located
the U-boat in the haze and engaged
her unsuccessfully. But the raider
was given an example of the spirit
hisBtrange maneuver had aroused.
Intrepid Hoy Delimit
When the U-boat appeared out of
♦he fog, little Jack Ainslie, the 11-
year-old son of Captain Ainslie, of
the Lansford, sighted it. The boy
at once ran to the cabin, but net in
fear. When he returned he carried
in his hands a small American flan.
Leaning over the rail he waved the
colors in defiance at the German.
Even this impotent exhibition of
patriotism did not satisfy the lad.
He shouted to his father that he
was going to get his gun, a 22-call
ber rifle, and return some of those
shots which the raider was firing.
Rut Captain Ainslie restrained the
boy. Shortly after this the captain
<vaa struck down as he superintend
ed the launching of the small boat
When the Htle flotilla of rowboats
entered Nauset harbor Jack Ainslie
was sitting in the bow of the Lans
ford's skiff, holding the colors
proudly erect. He was given a rous
j Ing cheer by the cottagers who
| rushed down the beach to help the
am ore.
U.S. SOLDIERS
EVERYWHERE IN
BRITISH ZONE
Yankees Scattered Behind
Lines; Sound of Mouth
Organ Is Heard
Headnuartera American Troop* with !
the BrltlHli Korrm In France, July
22.—American soldiers are now spread I
all over the back areas of the British i
zone In France. So thick are they it
is impossible to miss them out of
doors. If over the seas men are not
met in groups on the road, they are
seen sitting in circles around British
non-commissioned officers listening
to lectures, on quick firing or doing
gas mask drills in the meadows.
Yankee Hiker* In Columns
There are columns of Americans
"hiking" along the valleys beside fast
running trout streams, and up and
down or around the hills with which
these areas are studded. You see
tliem off duty in all the farm yards
and up all the lanes. They are
wandering about on the by-roads get
ting the lay of the land, and some
times stepping aside to gather the
poppies, blue bells, daisies and but
tercups that make the French coun
tryside look like a huge boukquet at
this season.
There are Americans in the villages
buying knick-nacks, hunting the
scarce American smoking tobacco or
sitting with children in doorways
getting first notions of French from
their picture books. They are on an
improvised diamond in a pasture with
bat and ball occasionally, not often,
for sporting articles are quite as
scarce as American tobacco here
where the American Young Men's
Christian Association has not yet
penetrated effectively.
American airs are heard every
where—sung, whistled or played on
an instrument that is quite as
strange to these parts as were the
bag-pipes four years ago—the mouth
organ.
The pipes and the mouth organ
come tog* ther frequently where the
Scotch and Americans are billeted in
such proximity as to facilitate an ex
change of amenities. If the overseas
boys haven't yet learned to appre
ciate all the beauties of the pipes,
the Scotchman dances to almost any
kind of music.

Big Patriotic Service
Held in Ridge Avenue
Church by Dr. Swallow
The big audience of hundreds of
people were highly pleased with the
devotional and patriotic song serv
ice at the Ridge Avenue Methodist
Church yesterday afternoon. This
service was held under the direction
of Dr. Silas C. Swallow, and after
the conclusion of the rendition nu
merous requests were made to have
the service produced in other city
churches. It has been definitely de
cided to hold the same service In the
Lieal) S. Robins Memorial Church,
of Summerdale.
A big feature of the service was
the singing of a new rendering of
the "Red, White and Blue" by Pro
fessor Kurzenknabe, the veteran
publisher and singer. He was intro
duced as the "Pro-American-Ger
man. who loved both countries, but
stood squarely for the home of his
adoption till democracy shall dom
inate autocracy and all the world
be free."
The origin and history of "The
Star Spangled Banner," and "Amer
ica Here Is My Boy," portrayed in
song and pantomime by the Sunday
schol class of Mrs. Brubaker, of the
1-eah Robins Memorial Church, of
Summerdale, was well received. Mrs.
On* M. Steinmetz, of Washington
Heights, sng with quite pleasing ef
fect "While Jesus Whispers to You,"
and the French national air, "The
Marseillaise."
"Tenting on the Old Camp
Grounds," reviving memories of
Civil War days, was sung by Mrs.
(Watkins) Heefner, of the Market
Square Presbyterian Church. The
national air of the Welsh with the
lart verse in the Welsh tongue, also
sung by Mrs. Heefner. drew forth a
big round of "Chautauqua salutes."
"The Pilgrim Song" and "America.
Htere's My Boy." sung by Mrs. Sny
der (Mclntyre) of Enola, with ac
companiment on her own guitar,
made a (Veep impression upon her
hearers. John J. Shaffner, of Camp
Hall, veteran choirmaster and for
twenty-flve years leader of the choir
of the church, received considerable
favorable comment for his rendition
of "Peace, Peace, Wonderful Peace."
Mrs. Mary Kinchwas at the pipe or
gan throughout the musical.
The Rev. W. W.Reese and Ihe
Rev. William R. Swartz led the de
votions, and t)ie Rev. Mr. Boyle read
the Scripture. A rising vote of sym
pathy was extended early In the serv
ice at the suggestion of Dr. Swallow
to the Rev. and Mrs. William
Mcses. of St. Paul's Methodln;
Church, Vine street, on the serious
illness of Mrs. Moses.

REGISTERED MEN
TO GET TRAINING
WITH RESERVES
Central Pennsylvania Coun
ties to Follow General
Crowder's Advice
Plans to give every registered man
in the county an opportunity to
learn military tactics before he is
called into the National Aarmy were
put under way by William Jennings,
chairman of the Dauphin county
public safety committee this morn
ing.
The plans will include three nights t
of drill every week, when members|
of the Harrisburft Reserves will meet
the draft eligibles on the Island Park,
playground and drill them in infan-l
try military tactics. Tuesday, Wed- [
nesday and Friday nights of this I
week the drills will take place. To-1
night Mr. Jennings will make ar-j
rangements for the drills to take
place on the island every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday evening.
"I would suggest that every draft
man liable to military service take
advantage of the opportunity for it
will do him a lot of good to secure
the preliminary training in mili
tary tactics," Mr. Jennings said this
morning.
.Movement Grows
The movement is not local. The
chairman of the public safety com
mittee of ten or twelve surrounding
counties met at Fahnestock Hall at
1 o'clock this afternoon to discuss
plans to arrange for military training
for draft registrants in their coun
ties. Y. M. C. A. leaders and mem
bers of the Knights of Columbus also
took part in the meeting to arrange
plans.
The idea in addition to giving the
men training, Mr. Jennings said, is
to maintain the morale of the un
called draft registrants.
All local draft boards received
orders from General Crowder to ar
range to give their registrants the
preliminary training. The local
boards requested Mr. Jennings aid in
the matter, who is making the ar
rangements with the Harrisburg Re
serves to furnish the drill masters.
ROTARIANS HEAR
ABOUT CANTIGNY
Rev. H. A. Riddle, Stretcher-
Boarer at the Fight, Tells
How Our Boys Fought
How the men of the American con
tingent went into the first at Can
tigny with the fear of God in their
hearts and stern resolve to rout the
Germans or die in the attempt, was
related to the Harrisburg Rotary
Dub at luncheon to-day by the Rev.
H. A. Riddle, formerly of Harris
iburg, who served as a stretcher bear
er in the Y. M. C. A. service during
that famous battle.
The American troops trained for
this fight in the fields near the "Hut"
over which the young minister pre
sidded and just before the battle as
many of them as could crowd the
big building attended communion
service and after leaving letters to
be sent home in case they fell, took
to the trenches and then went over
thetop wit ha cheer and a yell, send
ing terror to the German heart as
they sped along.
"The way was well paved for them
by the American artillery," said the
speaker, "and I may say that the
man who has a son or friend in out
artillery has reason to be proud."
The Rev. Mr. Riddle was with the
troops during all of this fight and
he related an incident which shows
the temper of the men in action. A
party of Gerfans were located in a
cave and kept pouring volleys of ma
chine gun bullets from the mouth,
refusing to surrender and shooting
all wh oapproached. A private dis
covered a rear entrance and tossed
in a few hand grenades. The Ger
mans came piling out and were shot
before they could ge into action on
the outside. "They had their chance
to surrender," said the speaker, "and
our boys didn't have time to bother
with prisoners."
Mr. Riddle said that "driving a
Ford ambulance and being a minis
ter of the gospel at one and the same
time is a difficult combination," but
it is merely one of the many things
the Y M. C. A. worker will do in
France that he did not expect to do.
Other speakers were Williaf Jen
nings, of the Council of National
Defense; E. J .Stackpole, of the Y.
M. C. A. recruiting committee, and
Edwin J. Lewis, who read a stirring
letter from Captain Jones, in the
transport service, and said that he
was sad but proud to announce that
he has just bade goodby to his two
sons, who have entered the army.
The speakers were introduced by J.
William Bowman. President Eli N.
Hershey presided.

SECOND BAPTIST
HOLDS PATRIOTIC
WAR SERVICES
Colored Race Shown to Have
Played Important Part
in Nation's Battles
All of yesterday was devoted by
the congregation of the Second Bap
tist Church temporarily worshiping
in the hall at the corner of Cowden
and Briggs streets,' to a patriotic
rally. Services were held in thp
morning, afternoon and evening and
the day was one that will long be
remembered by the congregation.
At the morning service a service
flag was unveiled ijn honor of Ave
young men of the Sunday school
And congregation who have re
sponded to the colors. They are
Ira T.ayton. Ralph C. Warrick, James
<\ Jones, Patrick Henry Taylor and
Phillip ,T. Jones. At. this service an
address was made by E. J. Stack
pole in which he dwelt upon the hon
orable part the negro has had In
every war of this country. He re
ferred to Ihe recent commendation
of General Pershing who said "I
cannot commend too highly the col
ored combat troops who exhibit fine
capacity and quick training and eag
erness for the most dangerous
work." The speaker also referred
to the fact that it is an axiom of
our military history that our colored
troops fought bravely. There were
3,000 colored soldiers he said In the
Continental Army and In the Civil
War almost 200,000 colored soldiers
were enlisted. In the present war
there have already enlisted over
100,000, including 1.000 o;cers. 250
medical officers, three regiments cf
neld artillery, one regiment of engi
neers, thirty-four chaplains and 150
Y. M. C. A. workrs.
Have Proud Record
Mr. Stacknole mentioned the fact
that the flrst martyr in the Boston
massacre was a negro, that a negro
" Sto j fi J vith £ ?ary at the North Polo
and that a negro had saved the llfo
of John Harris when he was about to
be burned by the Indians. He also
referred to the large number of col
ored sailors in the Navy during tb
War of 1812 and to the honorable
part that race had taken in evorv
great struggle in which this countrv
was engaged, the heroic work of th'n
colored soldiers in the Cuban and
Philippine campaigns being particu
larly mentioned.
At the afternoon service there was
a union meeting when the Rev
Warren. Brown, pastor of the Alt
Zlon Baptist Church, of Steelton!
and his congregation joined in tho
service. A special literary and mu
sical program was given in the eve
ning.
The Rev, Albert J. Greene, pastor
o fthe church, was more than pleas,
ed with the day's activities.
| LETTERS TO THE EDITOR \
Says Fifteen Miles an Hour
Is Fast Enough For Autos
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The contention of Mayor Keistcr,
that the automobile speed limit
within the city limits should be fixed
at twelve miles an hour, ought to
have the active support of every
resident of Harrisburg. We are now
supposed to have a fifteen-mile-an
hour maximum, and several ill-ad
vised gentlemen propose to increase
this limit to twenty-four miles an
hour. They claim, in advocacy of
their position, that as high as twen
ty-five miles an hour Is allowed in
some parts of New York city. That
accounts tot the appalling deatu
loss in that city annually from auto
mobile "accidents." It is nothing
more than criminal recklessness on
the part of the New York city gov
ernment. Why ao not these pro
claimed for more speed refer to
some other governments, than Now
York city? For instance, in Japan
the speed limit in the country is fix
ed at about twelve miles per hour,
and in built-up sections reduced to
about eight.
Few people have calculated (ho
distance an automobile runs at theso
rates of speed. Fifteen miles an
hour means twenty-two feet a sec
ond; twelve miles an hour, seventeen
and six-tenths of a mile a second;
and twenty-four miles an hour, thir
ty-tive and two-tenths feet per sec
ond. Take, for exarpple, the Mul
berry street viaduct. A motor est
coming along at fifteen miles an
hour, and suddenly turning (by acci
dent or otherwise), will reach the
railing in less than a second, the dis
tance being less than twenty-two
feet. Running at the rate of twen
ty-four miles per hour, the railing
will be hit in less than half a sec
ond. What chance has a pedestrian
under those circumstances. Verily,
let us stand by the Mayor, and help
to lessen the rate of speed, rather
than to increase It.
