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.

Hope Is Fading in Hun
Trenches, Letters Show
Ix>n<lon. July 27.—Hope of win

some German prisoners accurately
reveal the morale of some of the
German troops.
"The Americans are in front of us
and they are terrible men," read one
letter taken from a German pris
oner. "We no longer have any
hope, he continued.
"My company of 130 is down to
30."
"We should stop before we are
utterly demolished," wrote another
German soldier. "I am always hop
ing th eFrench may succeed in rop
ing us in. We should then at any
rate be relieved from the moral an
guish we are continually suffering.
| Our strength is becoming more and
more sapped and if some of us do
get home we shall be broken mefl."

Tough War Job Ahead,
Kaiser Says as Offensive
of Foch's Armies Begins
By Associated Press
The Hague, July 27.—"The hard
est part of the Job is still before us.
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. We must not be left at the end
like smashed machines, but must be
strong and unweakened."

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.

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

Estimate of Class 1 to be

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

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:

to be met, both In the field of domes
tic relations and In the economic
field."

scribed as an amalgamation of the

the many and divers contributions to
the vaudeville world, making: one of
H oß ' unusual variety novelties
that has been given to the s'age in
recent years.
A good story, full of romance, with
fascinating Emmy Whelen as the bril
_ ... , liant star, in
Kmnty Whelen In "The House of
"The House of Gold" Gold." This is
one of Metro's
strongest plays ever shown at the
Colonial Theater. It Is a pathetic
story of love and destiny. Monday and
Tuesday of next week, Alice Brady,
the brilliant emotional acress, whose
former triumphs have won for her tlie
title "The supreme favorite of the
screen," will appear at the Colonial
in "The Whirlpool." It is a forceful
love theme, revealing the night life
in New York In realistic representa
tion. how crime and villainty are ex
posed through the cleverness of a
pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin's "A Night Out."
was previously advertised, but he fail
ed to appear, but
Double Attraction he will surely
at the Recent make Ills appear
ance to-day, and
co-starring with him is Margarita
Fisher in "Impossible Susan," in which
it is proved that modern woman is
more than a mere clothesrack. Two
old bachelors thought they knew all
about women, but a clever girl turned
their theories topsy-turvy.
Pretty Miss Fisher wears gowns
valued at $2,000 in this wonderful
play. The story calls for a heap of
dressing. All gowns are American
made. Critics say the picture is ex
cellent.
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday,
William S. Hart in his latest picture
from the Artcraft Studios. "Shark
Monroe."
One of the most thrilling, as well
as most entertaining motion pictures
ever shown at
Reorer Wnlsh at the popular
the Victoria Today Victoria Thea
.ter. Is now be
ing presented and stars the noted
screen artist, George Walsh. Mr.
Walsh is a powerful built man, and
the way he handles Mexican bandits,
bombs, movie actors and whatnot in
this five-part production is little short
of wonderful. The story ends with
a thrilling rescue George makes of a
young and beautiful Kirl, who has fal
len Into the hands of bandits. Charlie
Chaplin's double will also be shown
in another screaming comedy. "He's
Here Again." For Monday and Tues
day, Dorothy Phillips in "A Soul For
Sale," will he the attraction.
With the last performance at the
Paxtang Park Theater. this evening,
the Harry P. Krivit Musi-
Pnxtnng C al 'Comedy Company will
Theater close their five weeks' en-
Itaßement at the park
playhouse in their very pleasing
production of "Where There's A Will."
The Krivit Company's engagement at
Paxtang has been successful as well
as very satisfactory, both to the park
management aind patrons, and It is
quite probable that the Krivit Com
pany will be seen again at the park.
The piece the company will play at
the park this evening Is a new musi
cal comedy bv A. Seymour Brown, and
the vehicle that the popular comedian
and song-writer has chosen to star in
during his winter tour of the big vau
deville house.
Next week the park management
will offer a high-class vaudeville show
as the attraction at the park theater.

to get the vessel's name or position.
Seceral hours pervfously a German
submarine had attacked the tuR
