10 AD CLUB MEETS AT BELLEVUE PARK Baseball Game and Mr. Mc- Fariand's Address Features; J. Herman Miller Host At the first regular meeting of the Advertising Club of Harrisburg held ' in the Old Oak Grove last evening at Bellevue Park, forty members and invited guests were pleasantly" en tertained by Herman P. Miller, who lias been very active In the organi zation. The and their friends assembled in the grove at a o'clock and engaged in a program of sports in which the great American game of baseball and quoits appealed to the athletic tastes of a majority of the members. The baseball clubs were drafted from those who could pass a proper physical examination, and were within the age limit. Lee Moss, a southpawed idol of the bleach ers. modestly elected himself a cap tain. and "Skinny'' Prevost, of the Bell Telephone Company, "hang in" as his opponent. The Moss bunch won the toss and went to bat. Prevost put "Kid" Ogelsby, ex-pill shooter of the Little Giants, in the box. and the Moss fumblers were held down to four teen runs and two bases in the first half of the inning. The sides chang ed and Prevost lead off at the bat. He made several savage swipes at Moss' fancy curves and was told to take his base. Ogelsby followed and knocked a hot grounder which Lee Goldsmith, in center, chased around in spirited style. but not until Ogelsby made third and landed Pre vost at home. Benson nearly caused a riot by punting. The ball fell with in the lines a few feet from the home base. In the excitement which followed he got to first. Tritle sent a sky hit to right field and came: near making a homerun. He start ed around the bases on high, but be tween third and home his carburetor went bad and he limped in on low, the ball beating him to it by a hair's breadth. Oyster on third, caught several flys with one hand and picked up the ball with the ath er. McCullough, catching Moss, spik ed himself in the eleventh inning and was carried off the field disabled. Jackson, the new Chamber of Com- merce first baseman. showed ttne j metal and with a little mental and i physical training will no doubt be the I e< s ual of any man in the club John Garvin and Alfred Davies each made eighteen errors and were expelled from the league. Both Moss and Pre vost said they had nothing personal 1 against the deposed player, but there had to be an example and any man making over fifteen errors in one in ning would be "canned." Bert Miehener was suspended for breaking all rules and regulations, but will probably be reinstated for making a homerun in the nick of time to save his team from an in gloiious defeat. The Rame was called at the end of the fourteenth inning when Herman Miller yelled "lunch." It was dis covered that no umpire or official scorer had been appointed and this game will be played over. Herman Miller and Frank Downey, who occupied the grandstand, were given rain checks when they kicked about the* rotten deal handed the public. At the close of the sports Mr. Mil- ! er conducted his guests to a shady i nook in the grove where a bounti- i ful lunch was served. "Sholl" Ruth- j erford was the caterer and just be cause he likes the "Ad" Club and per sonallv knows all the members, he served extra large portions and the menu was generous and well arrang ed After luncheon the members and their friends were taken through the beautiful drives in Bellevue Park in automobiles After a thorough in spection of the pretty homes and pic turesque surroundings they returned to the grove and the first regular! meeting was called to order by pres ident Downey who announced an I agreeable surprise for those present ! and introduced J Horace McFarland who delivered a very interesting and instructive talk on advertising. A free parliament was then opened and a general discussion of matter per- j taining to advertising, and to the de velopment of the club, took place. After the regular routine of busi- I ness a vote of thanks was tendered I to Mr McFarland for his address and ' Mr. Miller was given a hearty vote of thanks for his hospitality.

The enemy knows the war Is about to reach the point of decision and is summoning all his strength for a final defense and counter offensive." This was the observation of the German emperor, recorded "by Karl Rosner In the Berlin Lokal Anzeigar and apparently made on the eve of General Foch's offensive. On the same occasion Field Marshal Von Hindenburg gave Rosner the follow ing statement: "It is to be hoped the people at home are full of confidence. But they are not learned in patience. I hope nothing is so promptly pun ished. as overhaste is no good. "Preparation is half the battle, and the people must remember we are not working with machines that can be smashed as soon as the Job is completed. We are working with the most sadred thing we possess, namely, the blood and life of the German people. Ovr last reserves must be strong men who will return from the trenches to take up peace tasks.

FRENCH GAIN MORE GROUND AT MARNE [Continued l'rom First Page.] that from the Marne towards Kheims. Along the western side of the German salient there is no official mention of events of especial im portance during last night. It is reported that French and Americans wer# attacking the enemy this morning, centering their efforts on the work of clearing the Germans out of the wooded areas to the south and southwest of Fere-en- Tacdenois. This was saki to have been nearly accomplished. Stubborn Kctreat In spite of the general expecta tion that the Germans are fighting on the southern side of the salient to cover the retreat of their armies and the salvaging of the vast sup plies piled up along the Marne in preparation for the great offensive which began on July 15, there ap pears to be a disposition in part of ?ome of the military experts to con sider the possibility of a new Ger man attack somewhere on the hat tlellne between Soissons and Rheims The stubborn manner in which the enemy has been fighting, and his failure to attack on some other sec tor points, it is contended, to the fact that the Germans are commit ted to a renewed offensive along the Marne in the hope of still winning a victory there. British Front Active Along tne British front, near Arras and Lens, and along the Somme sector, the German artillery has been active. British raiding parties have been active at various points along the lines. A lull, probably only for a few hours, has intervened in the des perate battle in the Marne salient. The allied offensive, although un checked by the Germans, has slowed down. Enemy counterattacks have ceased for the moment. Meanwhile, the allied artillery is pouring a heavy fire on the German bases, depots and lines of communi cation within the pocket between Rheims and Soissons. The entire legion is within the range of the big guns and, as on the previous days, they continue to hammer the enemy unceasingly. Allied* airmen have increased the intensity of their bombing operations. As a result, the Germaili within the pocket pos sibly are no better off than during the period of fighting around the ever-narrowing edges. Guns Dominate Base From the Ourcq to the Marne and along the Marne the Germans have been cleared almost entirely from the Fere and Ris forests and the Tournelle wood and now stand with their backs against the virtually clear plateau between Fere-en-Tar aenois and Ville-en-Tardenois. The allied lines are within a few miles of these places and Fere, originally the most important southern base, is of no use to the enemy, allied guns dominating the town and the diverging roads. This situation was improved further for the allies by the capture of Villemontoire and Oulchy-le-Chateau, which the Ger mans have made no attempt to re take. Almost all the progress Friday was made in the wooded areas 10 the north of the Marne and be tween the Marne and the Ourcq. Using as small a number of men as possible, the enemy depended upon artillery and machine guns to halt the French and Americans, but they pushed on and chased the Germans to the northern edges. Local show ers fell over much of the battle area Friday. Huns Hate to Withdraw It is believed the German Crown Prince, continues to withdraw his men and supplies from the salient. More fires have been seen and explo sions heard within the enemy lines. To withdraw would be an admission by the Crown Prince that he had met with a serious setback. There probably would be a drop in the German morale and the German command may prefer to hold on rather than to admit defeat. From a military standpoint, the Germans improve their position If they retired to the Vesle. All the ground gained along the Marne in the onslaught of July 15 has been lost by the Germans ex cept a stretch of eight miles. East of Rheims, in Champagne, General Gouraud has been busy and has reoccupied his former first line cast of the Suippes. The advance measures more than 500 yards on a front of over ten miles and includes the recapture of the Main de Mas siges. In the operation the Krench took 1,800 prisoners. Paris last night also reported the capture of "00 prisoners on the western flank of the salient, making a total of 2,600. The latest estimate of Ger man prisoners taken since July 18 is 30,000. Gorman Towns Bombed On the other sector in France the allies await German thrusts. There is stron* belief in some quarters that the enemy will strive to ease the situation north of the Marne by a strong attack elsewhere, but nothing has materialized. The Ger mans have failed to repeat their futile attack against the British in Flanders and their attempted raids on that battlefield as well as north of Albert have been repulsed. British airmen in the past Veek have accounted for ninety-one en emy machines while losing fifty one. Long distance raiding was the greatest during the war. Twenty five incursions into Germany were made and 154 tons of bombs were dropped. Zeebrugge and Ostend also were bombed. More complications have arisen in the Siberian situation. A provi sional government at Omsk, In Cen tral Siberia, claims supreme au thority and has declared the inde pendence of Siberia. Another re port received in London says the Siberian government at Vladivostok, presumably that headed by General Horvath. has resigned. Girls Will PlayfrT Longball Title Monday The championship game between girls longball teams on city play grounds will be played Monday evening at Island Park, starting at "• o'clock. Players from the Syca more and Emerald grounds will meet. The former team finished in first place in Section A of the league and the latter team took honors in Section B. Both have capable and experienced players. Two officials probably will be provided for the contest. Miss Lillian Kamsky, folk danc ing teacher, at the meeting of the female instructors to-day in the Y. W. C.

CROWDER ASKS GOVERNORS TO COMB CLASS 1 Wants Them to Have Draft Boards Revise Lists For More Men Washington, July 27—Prompt ac tion by Congress on the draft age changes to be recommended by Sec retary of War Baker within the next few weeks, will be necessary if Gen eral Crowder is to be able to furnish the contemplated quotas of men after October, without drawing upon Class 2 and other deferred groups. According to, official figures obtain ed to-day, the August and September calls will make such deep inroads Into Class 1 that they can only be met by careful combing of questionnaires especially of those of the new classes registered on June 5 of this year and a substantial yield of men under the draft treaties with Great Britain and Canada. General Crowder is known to be hopeful of obtaining from Class 1 sufficient men to carry him to Jan uary 1, 1919, but the margin admit- tedly is very clase. In order that a maximum number of Class 1 men may be obtained from the new registrants—men who be come twenty-one on June 6—General Crowder ordered a close scrutiny of all reports by draft boards which do not show at least 50 per cent of such men in Class 1. .This action by Gen eral Crowder was held to be neces sary to obtain the 400,000 men from this group which he has included in his estimates to meet monthly quotas during the remainder of 1918. Status Of CIHHM A General Crowder's official figures on the status cif Class 1 follows: Total In Class 1 2,362,082 DedMiUons— Delinquents 334,634 EmergwPcy fleet exemp tions 36,770 Limited service men 215,539 Remediable defectives .. 50,268 Total deductions ... 637,211 Total available fight ing men 1,724,871 January to July calls 1,533,743 Available after July calls 191,128 Deductions for navy * and marine corps en listments— Men to replace those re jected at camps, deaths, etc.. .. 150,000 Balance remaining Au gust 1, 191S 41,128 Accretions to Class 1 from re-classlflcations, "work-or-flght" order, decision of pending and other sources 200,000 Estimate of Class 1 to be obtained from registra tion of June 5 400,000 Total 641,128 To Call 040*000 Men General Crowder's plans of a few weeks ago called for 300,000 men in August, but his statement to-day to the Governors said tjie August call would be virtually as large as that of July. He plans to call 150,000 men each In the months of September, October and November, and 125,000 in December. The registration and classification of British and Canadians under the recent draft treaties is expected to be about 150,000 men for service in the army and about 40,000 subjects of the United States for the British forces. It is not believed that more than 28 per cent of these men will be subject to Class 1 classification, this percentage being the average in the general draft. On basis of the estimated calls for remaining months of 1918 General Crowder's plan provides for a total enlistment of 2,408,743 drafted men during the twelve months to end Jan uary 1, 1919. The calls by months follow: January 23,288 February 83,779 March 132,484 April 174,377 May 360,230 June 293,594 •July 465,991 August 300,000 September 150,000 October 150,000 November 150,000 December 125,000 Total 2.408,743 •July call included negroes for Au gust entrainment. I'rKfd Draft Age Change General Crowder informed the Sen ate committee that unless the draft ages are changed to provide for ad ditional men. only two courses will be left open to him to supply the de mand for manpower: First. Invasion of Classes 2, 3 and 1 4, which, he said, would mean that 'there will be many acute situations to be met, both In the field of domes tic relations and In the economic field." Second. A semiannual registration on December 5. of additional num bers of men just reaching twenty-one years. This wwuld yield about 200,- 000 Class 1 men and would not meet requirements after January of next year. 2,064,743 Drafted to Date Although the exact total of the July calls was not available to-day, employment of the figures 465,991, which perhaps may be a trifle high. General Crowder's latest figures show a total of 2,06,4,743 men draft ed Into the military service from the passage of the selective service act to the end of the present month. Of this number 531,000.were called prior to January 1, 1918. Of a total of 9,586,508 men regis tered on June 5, 1917, there remained 8,689,447, including the 166,647 men when General Crowder began the national classification program last December. These men were classi fied as follows: Class 1 2.428.447 Class 2 509,666 Class 3 427,870 Class 4 3.483,326 Class B 1,839,856 The figures given for Class 1 in clude 168,647 men whose cases were pending when the calculation was made.
