10 TIDE OF HUN INVASION NOW IS FAST EBBING (Continued From Puge I.] and they are holding Champvoisy to the northeast of the forest. In this region tlie Germans have the higher ground and have some advantage in the artillery duel. North of the Marne the tide of German invasion is fast ebbing. The fact that a general retreat in this region is going on is not questioned, and the only question of momejit remaining to be cleared uj> is the location of the position at which the enemy will turn at bay. Sin e Saturday morning there have been important changes in the battle line between Soissons and Rheims. To-day it runs nearly directly east from Oulchy-le-Chateau to Fere-en-Tardenois, then crosses the Ourcq and continues eastward until it reaches the Dormans-Rheims road northwest of Rheims mountain. Pushed Across Ourcq It has been contended by military experts that the Germans might elect to stand 011 the line of the Ourcq river, from which their heavy cannon might dominate the Paris-Chalons railroad along the slarne. - This idea now is proven erroneous. It appears that there is no defensive position south of the Yesle river to which the Germans can retire and organize their resistance to allied pressure. The only other defensive position seemingly pos sible i:- the one that follows the Aisne and Yesle from Soissons toj Fistnes and from that point follows the course of the Ardre river j toward Rheims. Burning villages along the Aisne and Yesle | from Soissons to Bazoches are reported and tend to confirm the 1 impression that the Germans do not contemplate organized re-j sistance south of that line. Army Escapes Capture There is every indication that the German high command 1 has succeeded in extricating its forces from the trap sprung by General Foch. The resistance ofc the Germans for a week after the beginning of the allied c-ounter offensive probably gave the l iermans time to withdraw their heavier guns and a large propor tion of their supplies from the salient. This resistance was very .strong along the line south of Soissons as far as Oulchy-le-Yille and west and southwest of Rheims which were the vital sectors of the battle line. The advance of the allies east of Oulchy-Le-Chateau soon must compel the enemy to evacuate the line from the Ourcq river toward Soissons for a considerable distance. Nearer Rheims. how ever. the Germans seem to hold positions that will provide a pivot "or their retreat toward the Yesle river. Germans Badly Defeated In this region the allies were this morning getting very close to the Ardre river, which forms a protection to the right flank of :he enemy positions near Rheims. As the situation now stands the Germans must be considered £0 have suffered a severe defeat north of the Marne. but it is not a Sedan. . . While the Germans have been busy getting their forces back aut of the bag between Soissons and Rheims, their forces further north again have been attacked by the British. Australian troops, attacking on eai*li side of the Bray-Corbie road, east of Amiens and north of the Somme river. Two lines of German trenches over a! two mile front were taken by the Australian troops, who also! captured one hundred prisoners. This operation is just to the north of Hamel and Villers- ; Bretonneux, where the Australians and Americans, early in July,i won a local victory over the enemy. Further south is the line over which the French have more recently advanced to domi-j nating positions along the Avre river. More than half of the pocket be 'ween the Marne and Vesle rivers lias been cleared of Germans and the Jllies are driving the enemy still far ther north. Important sains are being made "by the French and Americans on the sast and the French and British cn he west. The German retirement vhich is covered by heavy rear guard actions, has been well conducted.! Pressure on the western and eastern sides south of Soissons and southeast of Rheims, respectively, has been withstood and the mouth of the jucket is still large enough to en ible the greater part of the enemy, force to reach the Vesle. Fere-en-Tardenois, the great Ger } un base northeast of Chateau . 'licrry. has fallen, and Vllle-en-T.\r-1 t nois, cast of within the • asp of the advancing allies. Al- • i ost all of the Dormans-Rhsima 1 ad again is in allied hands and : e Germans apparently are prepar- 1 i it; to fall back to the Vesle, '.f not ' • the Atsne. No great captures of ; rlsoners have been reported. Allies I'ntlcr Heavy Fire The Germans are using artillery ind machine guns to stay the allies. As the French and Americans, who have advanced most rapidly, press jiorthward the German resistance pas become stiffer. The enemy also is making great use of his artillery :>n the heights north of Solssons and Itheims and Is subjecting the Hes 3f the pocket to an enfilading bom bardment of great violence. From west to east the allied line row runs from Oulchy-la-Chateau long the northern bank of the ~>urcq to Fere, thence through Sercy ond Goussancourt to south of Ville to Bligny. North of Oulchy and north of Bligny the Germans have maintained their positions stoutly, despite the steady hammering of the rllies. Sergy, held by the Amer icans, represents an advance of 2ih- j tren miles from Chateau Thierry in t"n days. The forward movement I F'inday was as great as five miles' some points but averaged slightly r:ore than two miles along the front from Oulchy to Bltgny. I.orvsos Not Heavy While the enemy loss in men may not be great, the allies probably will rapture many guns and mach'ne puns in addition to supplies and mu-l Murderer of State Policeman Arrested in Birmingham, Ala.

Allied losses have been kept at a minimum by the most exten sive use of tanks. Cavalry again has taken a hand in the pursuit and low flying airplanes have been harassing the retreating Germans unceasing ly. Berlin speaks of "new positions" but does not Indicate where they are. The German command may elect to make a stand on strongly prepared positions south of the Vesle. Ob servers think the Vesle will mirk the retirement northward but the river is shallow and runs northwest. The Aisne, however, runs east and west between Soissons and Rheims and with the heights of the Chamii des Dames behind It would offer ;ust as strong a defensive position as it did immediately after the first battle of the Marne. Berlin Admits Nothing In its official statement. Berlin makes no admission of allied advan ces either Saturday or Sunday. Re porting on Sunday's operations it says the day was quiet except for fighting on the Ourcq. There has been heavy local light ing in the height region between Rheims andSouain. east of the Marne battlefield, but General Gouraud nas held to his recent gains and smashed German attacks. Prisoners captured here by the French are reported un officially to total 1,500. Other sectors of the western bat tle front remain quiet and neither side gives indication of any move ment to affect the situation north of the Marne. Raids have taken place on ie British froht. the British be ing the successful aggressors.

Many of the large rubber companies in Ohio and elsewhere have built model towns for their workers and the list could be continued through nearly all of the Important industries of the country. Four Types of OpernUons ' Industrial housing operations are being handled in several different ways, among the most important be ing: The United States Government j Housing Developments. Projects built by Industrial Corporations. Projects built by citizens through activities of Boards of Trade or Chambers of Com merce. Projecto built by Real Estate rompanies purely for profit. Industrial housing is becoming : more an-1 more u part of the indus trial project, and has gradually l>e | come necessary in order to get and ' keep the best labor and higher iirade employes. As wages increase, the living requirements of labor rise and men will not and should not live under the conditions which at one time were considered "good enough for laborers.". Wages and Housing Two things are now required by labor, where only one was asked l>e fore. Not only is the prospective employe interested in the wages he is to receive, but of almost equal Importance, he wants to know where and how his family are to live. He won't take a job unless the wages are right and also the living condi tions for his wife, children and him self are decent and the rent mod erate. Doubtless attractive and healthful housing results in lower wages sometimes because the men] would rather live under such sur roundings at less pay than be herded like cattle at large remuneration.] Good housing also attracts the bet- j ter class of men and thus benefits the city wherein the housing project is built or near to which it is built] as well as to the corporation employ ing them. A housing project does not consist merely of the erection of Just houses by any means, or it is not just com fortable. attractive houses. In the tirst place, it must be necessavy, there must be a real need for it. It] must be on a site selected for con-! venience to the'works wherein the labor is employed. It should be on i a healthful location, or one which can be made so. It should be so iaid out as to give air and space and sun light. It should have good streets, ample and pure water, adequate end properly designed sewers and storm water drains. It should have parks, trees, etc. It should have gas or electric light or both, if possible. If it is isolated and not near a big city, it should have schools, churches and amusement places. Causes Back of Housing The principal causes which make ] industrial housing necessary are: j To afford accommodations, which are healthfully sufficient, for employes at present employed. To afTord accommodations for additional employes ior exi&tir.g industrial plants so they can I grow. To afford accommodations for new .industrial plants which would come to a city if there were room for their employes. To prevent undue ' increase in private rents by relieving the great demand for houses. The Morgan Park Development of the United States Steel Company near Duluth, has resulted in pre venting "excessive exploitation of the steel company's employes, which, if it had been allowed, would have seriously hampered the company In securing an adequate and sufficient supply of labor." Very soon after the great United States Government shipbuilding pro gram was launched it became evi dent that the workers could not be adequately housed at many plants, 1 so that it was this branch of the I government's activity which was. | perhaps, the pioneer in constructing' government housing facilities. Manyl millions have been thus expended | and many more will be for this in-1 dustry. I Bristol Development At Bristol, Pa., k development of | this kind was begun last fall to, house 3,000 employes of the Mer-i chants Shipbuilding Company. Much of the work on this project is now completed. The houses, several hun dred of which have been built, are of frame, some covered with stucco, and others with shingles or clap boards. The vast numbers of workers at Hog Island have required great in dustrial housing projects In that section of Philadelphia, accessible to the plant, and several large develop ments are under way. The government has recently de cided on a great housing program, on which it will probably expend < hundreds of millions of dollars. The j work is now under the direction of l the Industrial Housing Corporation, the stock of which is held by the Secretary ot Labor. It is preparing to build industrial houses not only for shipyards, but for powder plants, all forms of munitions works In all parts of the country from Bath, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, and from Erie on the Great Lakes to the Gulf. Probably the first two pro jects to get under way under the su pervision of the Industrial Housing Corporation ■jre those at Erie and Bethlehem. Krte Development At Erie where many large plants have for several years been working on munitions, great industrial ex pansion thereof has taken place, th population has grown by leaps and bounds and there was no room for the requisite thousands of additional workers made necessary by the ex tension of the industries after Con gress declared war. One concern, the American Brake Shoe and Foun dry Company. has erected a large number of brick apartment houses on a tract near its plant, and the Erie Forge and Steel Company has acquired a very extensive tract in anticipation of constructing a hous ing development of its own. At the same time the citizens of Erie took the matter up. as living conditions were pidly growing worse and the factories were being hampered by the unwillingness of men to come to Erie until was a place to live. A committee was formed and about three-quarters of a million dollars wa.- raised with which to undertake a housing project. About this time, the government, seeing the great necessity for housing facilities, de cided to erect houses at Erie and has thus taken over the work which the citizens were expecting to do themselves. But the government is going much farther and between three and four million dollars will be expended there by the United States Industrial Housing Corpora tion. Industrial housing projects have been until recently largely built by industrial corporations in order to house their employes. The old style of industrial community is well il lustrated hy the shabby, djrty, ram shackle towns thrown up without plan in a hit or miss attempt to get roofs to cover the heads of employes by the coal companies, both In the HAHRIBBURG TELEGRAPH PARK SYSTEM SUFFERS FOR WANT OF FUNDS Many Needed Improvements Must Wait Because City Has Not Appropriated Money to Cover Cost; Thou sands Enjoy Natural System While many thousands are taking | advantage of our magnificent parks J in this hot weather the fact remains 1 that this department Is so hampered with lack of funds that calamity stares it In the face if Harrisburg does not very shortly make provi sion to take care of the parks with the same liberality it bestows upon other municipal bureaus. 1 In a tour of scrutiny over the roads of the entire system, a Tele graph representative found, for ex ample, that V. Grant Forrer. who for thirteen years has been the brains and action of our park department, needs perhaps $2,000 for planting of new trees to replace those destroyed by the recent destructive storms. Forrer's program, if he could get the funds and help, would also include planting the Front street slope, from rip-rap to the top, with beautiful shrubbery, so that a pedestrian strol ling along our de luxe boulevard would be attracted by the cheerful greenery concealing the stone rip rap. Over in the island nursery are thousands of dollars' worth of these shrubs and the longer they re main there the harder it is to make them grow when transplanted. No men, no money for the job. Hun dreds of trees, too, those fine old veterans, which so beautify the city, need doctoring to preserve them and this task cannot be attempted under the circumstances. Not only does Harrisburg refuse to investigate and respond to the vital necessities of the park department, but some activities do not even co operate in helping at this exigency. This Is illustrated along upper Front street where Forrer is doing his best to continue the wide substantial path from Maclay to Woodbine street. "Chief" Lynch, of the highway de partment, dumps his trucks with ma terial for filling up, but the loads are scattered over many blocks instead of being concentrated where the park department's diminuUve squad of workmen can set to and complete the job. Improvements Xeolcil Speaking further for Immediate needs of funds. Grant Forrer pointed out at Twenty-first and Market streets, the urgency of planting there shrubs and trees to complete the screen, and the lily pond near the pumping station is practically a total wreck for the lack of concrete bot tom. In the last two weeks they have dumped in many tons of clay and of the best quality, but the basin still leaks too much to hold water. With the force,and funds available Forrer is certainly doing everything pos possible to maintain the splendid sys tem which prominent men of this city in days gone by gave their time :uid services free to secure. But the vast plant will deteriorate in a dozen ways if funds are not increased. The path from Maclay to Calder street is finished and a very good job it is. but the rip-raping should also be completed, for a winter storm may tear the whole bank to shreds. This last week called out the whole of park workers and they are piti ably few, to help mend roads injured by the heavy storms. This work brought out vividly the necessity of the city providing a binder composi tion so that the park drives may be made substantial. The prime show for visitors to Harrisburg is a whirl I anthracite and bituminous flelds of Pennsylvania. But now the coal companies are doing better as evi denced by the new village being built for one of the companies not far from Gilberton. in the Pottsville district. This little community Is way up on the mountain side and consists of quite attractive houses, with proper facilities for comfort able and sanitary living. Near Harrisburg Near Harrisburg is the industrial | housing project across the Juniata! river from Mt. Union, built quite ic cently by the Mt. Union Refractories I Company. This little town of Kistler! of about 100 houses, has provision; for 150 more. It was planned by one of the best-known town planners of the country and has good streets, parks, a fine school, water pipes, sewers and electric light. It has proved very successful in assisting j the refractories company in obtain-! lng and keeping its employes during I these strenuous times. Very rec-ently our neighboring city of Williamsport constructed an in dustrial housing project, known a3 Sawyer Park. This project is said by an authority on the subject to be architecturally the best thing in in dustrial housing that has thus far been done in this country. The houses are very attractive and the whole village is well adapted to the needs of the community. This was not* directly an employ ers' enterprise, but there was no at tempt at large profit*. It is tn all respects a citizens' movement. "In the spring of 1917, there being not a single vacant house in Williams* port, at that time, the businessmen of the city, acting through the Board of Trade, made an appeal M the public-spirited citizens of munity, calling their attention to '.he need which confronted the city and the opportunity which lay before them. As a rasult, the Williamsport Improvement Company was organ-j ized with an authorized capital of $1,000,000, one-half of which was soon subscribed for the purchase cf land and the laying out of a model residential community. Some 88" different Individuals in Williamsport subscribed to the stock of the new corporation, which definitely limited its dividends to 6 per cent. This pretty little, community cov ers about thirty-seven acres on the slope of the hills which border he Susquehanna Valley. It Is within the city limits and readily reachsd by trollsv. Within a radius of a mile there are fourteen large indus trial plants employing over 5,000 persons. The first development con sists of 100 houses, while altogether it is contemplated to erect houses for 300 families. The houses are butlt for permanence, of hollow tile and stucco largely. They re built to sell and not to rent, with the Idea that It was better for the community as well as the employes to own his own house. Harrlsbnrg a Pioneer How many Harrlsburgers realize that right in our midst we have an example of Industrial housing exe cuted about twelve years ago when this great subject, as It is now prac ticed, was really In Its Infancy. I refer to the Cameron Extension community, where some forty houses were built to accommodate employes lof the Elllott-Flsher Company. These houses are of the "brick Eng lish double cottage type and are at tractive and In demand. This community was constructed on privately-owned land and ad joins the Cameron Park property of around our complete park system. Including the woody dells of Wild wood and the lovely paths of Cam eron Extension. Now, it is generally admitted among road experts that some sort of binder is essential to mix with shale and limestone. The parkway from Reservoir to Paxtang is tierce at this time, a network of sharp stones which cut the life out of tires. Without tarvla or some su'bstance water and wind blow off the top of the road and any one driv ing over the parkway will readily see the force of Korrer's reasoning. "A mile of this binder road should be built each year," said he, "It the roads are to be made permanently good. The repairing Is simple. You merely keep a kettle of the mixture and patch up when necessary." The miserable condition of the parkway recalls that Harrisburg has gone to sleep with its progressive park program. Emerging at Derry street the motorist is compelled to turn down that highway, broken as it Is with trolley tracks and duck under the subway leading into Pax tang Park before again reaching the parkway. The city owns the right of way for direct continuation of the parkway across Derry street, which to be sure, would require building another subway. This could easily have been done several years ago when money was more plentiful. It should be done now. When it comes to water facilities under the park department's super vision. let us draw the curtain. It is too sad a subject to discuss in this torpid weather when thousands of persons, adults and children, would so much relish having a big swim ming basin or beach in which to dis port and cool off. Forrer has done all he could with the funds at hand but the result is a disgrace to this city. At Seneca street a bathhouse has been moored but the river bottom there is full of stones and glass, tht* water but knee deep and few will care to go back. The city pool at Hargest's island is no better; a squalid, miserable dressing hut, no beach and no diving apparatus. Mc- Cormick island alone offers some temptation, but a limited number of children camp there for a short time and the bulk of the island is wasted so far as recreation is concerned. Golf I jinks In (>oo<l Shape In contrast to the water Improve ments Reservoir Park stands out as a model plant. The links are as fine as any in this country, with natural hazards. The 65 acres of grass are kept pefect. There Is but a nom inal' fee for the privileges of up-to date club house, and a professional teacher. All fees are used for Im provements and trophies. Another most successful feature of our system is the domestic science kitchen at Reservoir, established by Forrer. He was laughed at when he made the suggestion. Now 200 girls dally put In hours there learning to cook in practical fashion under Miss Anna Bender, who took the place of Miss Francis Hamilton when she went to the High school. Like the golf club which began with seven members and increased to 175, the kitchen now cannot accommodate the enthusiasts. These splendid fixtures of our park system show what may be done in the future, but they, too, may de teriorate if immediate aid is not given for necessary expenditures. the city. It is directly across Cam-1 cron street from the Elliott-Fisher Company works, is supplied with city water, is well sewered and the houses all have gas and some elec tricity. The street-" are of macadam and well maintained. The houses are largely occupied by employes of the Elliott-Fisher Company, but some are rented by employes of other con cerns. The houses are well ar ranged inside, are heated by fur naces, and are surrounded by ample lawns. The community is only ten to fifteen minutes by trolley from the center of the city and the rents'are very moderate. These houses were built to accommodate skilled opera tives rather than common labor, and are more expensive than houses cus tomarily butlt for the latter class of employes. Allies Expect to Bomb Berlin, but Lack Motors New York. July 29.—Although the allies have the ascendancy in the air, the possibilities of aerial war fare are yet far from realization, and an aerial offensive on a grand scale carried to cities of Germany remote fro mthe hattleline, including Ber lin, is in the realm of certainty in the not distant future, provided the allies co-ordinate their resources. This is the conviction of Major Gen eral W. S. Brancker, Controller Gen eral of Equipment of the British Air M'nistry, who has been in this coun try several weeks in consultation with government officials in charge I of aviation.

NEWPORT PLANS FOR BIG OUTING Perry County Town to Give Band Concert at Reser voir Park Newport, July 29.—Thursday will be "Newport Day" at Reservoir Park, Harrisburg. fn the evening a free concert will be given In the park by the Newport Citizens' Band. Hundreds of citizens from the town will go to Harrisburg on Thursday to take part in this affafflr, the big gest community affair, staged by the townspeople. t The Newport Citizens' Band will be there throughout the afternoon and evening, the Newport Outing Club will turn out en masse, and many townspeople will be there. Arrangements are being made largely by .John S. Eby, Perry county representative in the last two Legis latures, and president of the two organizations which are working to make tlio event a success, the New port Outing Club and the Newport Citizens' Band. The plan is that of the Newport Outing Club. Its committee, with President John S. Eby at its head. In cludes the other Dr. Enos A. Carl, vice president; L W. Brimmer, secretary, and Hiram M. Keen, treas urer. Newport will be practically closed tight during: the afternoon. It will be the first half-holiday observed generally by the whole town. Every store in town, except one, is to-day displaying a card reading: "This store will close at 12 o'clock noon on Thursday, August 1, 1918. Newport Day at Reservoir Park, Har risburg. Concert by Citizens' Band and Newport Outing Club. Afternoon and evening. Everybody invited to be there to enjoy the first half-holi day for Newport. Pack your lunch and meet us at the park. Help make this a real community picnic. The park has been granted us for the oc casion." Annually the Newport Outing Club has been ha"ving an outing at more distant points. This year, however, as a war measure and as a measure to intensify community spirit, the club proposed the plan of having the affair at Harrisburg where practically the whole town could attend. The date was selected after Commissioner of Parks Gross, of Harrisburg, had set the date for a free concert to be given by the Newport Citizens' Band at Harrisburg. When it was doubtful If free con certs would be given at Harrisburg early this year because of financial shortages, the Newport Band, through the agency of President Eby, offered its services for a free concert. . This band, composed of thirty-five members, most of them under twenty one years of age, was only organized about January 1 when many of them could not play a note. Under the ef ficient leadejrship of Harry W. Kough, Jr., who will be in charge of Thursday evening's concert, the band has developed Into a musical organ ization that reflects credit upon the town. The band gave a concert at the big Red Cross carnival at Landisburg on Saturday evening. C. Harry Kain Made Captain in U. S. Army C. Harry Kain, well-known archi tect of this city, received the con gratulations of the Rotary Club at noon luncheon in the T. M. C. A. Building to-day. on his appointment as a captain in the Quartermaster's Department of the United States Army. He will report to Washington at once. He was at one time vice president of the Rotary Club. Captain Kain is an expert in re frigeration and it is understood that he will be engaged in this line of work for the National Army. He was one of the designers of the fjrst big plant constructed at York and sent to France to be set up at a central point from which the Army Is now receiving its supplies of ice. He designed the building of the Dauphin Cigar Company, the Elliott- Fisher Company and other large in dustrial plants in this vicinity. He will give up his architectural activi ties until the close of the war. Noted Surgeon Back From Front on Secret Mission Baltimore. July 29.—Colonel J. M. T. Finney, the famous Johns Hop kins surgeon who Is chief consulting surgeon ot the American Expedition ary Forces, returned home yesterday on a secret mission which will carry him to Washington. "Just now." he said, "things are very satisfactory In France. There never was any reason to doubt the outcome of the war, hut we must not expect too much. There is lots of hard fighting ahead, and we must prove equal to it. There is not an idea of defeat. All are confident of ultimate victory. It is the spirit of the Americans and. in fact, all of the i allied nations that is counting now against the Huns. Allied morale, stimulated by the events at the Marne, was never better, and it will be lasting, now that American enthusiasm has become" a contagion. "Economic conditions in France are good. There are no signs any where of malnutrition. The spirit of the French people is excellent, the general morale especially." Asked concerning the proportion ate casualties among the American forces. Dr. Finney said that they were about the average. "As far as hospital conditions are concerned, the wounded men of the American Expeditionary Forces are receiving just as good care as would be possible at home." he said.
