QUICK-WITTED YANKEE TAKES 8£ GERMANS t Continued from First Page.] them in a shed somewhere, and I'll, be down and look them over." Into the Moonlight Road "I guess I'll have to hire a hall" was the reply the lieutenant heard while he adjusted his helmet and •-'as mask, and he was chuckling at that bit of Yankee braggadocio as he tumbled down the stairs and out into the moonlit road. The road was crowded. The sleep vanished from his widening eyes as he gaaed upon a German company drawn up in full array, with a beaming Marine on guard at either end, and Private Lenert standing at attention, with his right hand fondling the butt of a German captain's automatic. Over his shoulder was slung an exceptionally fine pair of German field glasses. He had .just tossed away a pleasantly flavored German cigarette. Everyone looked very happy, including the Germans. "Where in the name of all that's wonderful did you get all these?" "Oh!" said Lenert cheerfully, "they just came along." Later, when the prisoners had been Ynarched down the road to bri gade headquarters, this account of the capture unfolded itself from the testimony of all concerned. Lenert's battalion had been in the thick of the fighting, which had been preceded by a series of hotly con tested advances since a little after sundown. He himself, in the height of the excitement, had got astray from his company and, confused in his bearings, he was looking for his own people again in the darkness of the woods when he stumbled into a German company—walked into a German machine gun. and knew as much by the way they fell upon him. The Boches dragged their lone prisoner before the captain, who put him through a hurried examination —an examination carried on in Ger man, for Lenert can speak German. Lenert did not know much, but he tried a few details on his inquis itor, and. noting the profound effect they seemed to have, quite warmed up to his story. He bent over the map they showed him. and reluct antly described the position of the various American regiments till he had conveyed the impression to the already unhappy captain that this nest of Germans was virtually sur rounded. "And I want to get out of fiere," Lenert went on, with growing con viction. "There's a lull now, but they're going to turn the artillery on this patch of woods and blow it to bits. I don't want to be here. I want to get out right now." Heap Big Powow With this final piece of information to consider, the captain withdrew a little and held great powwow with his three lieutenants. The council of war did not last long, and very likely was the concluding session of one held a little earlier, the matur ing of a plan already considered. A moment later and Private Lenert was startled and a little embarrassed by having the German captain for mally surrender to him. He took the proffered automatic, flourished it several times, and jStuared his shoulders. "Throw down your arms," he said, boldly, and the soldiers, who were entirely in sympathy with the pro ceedings. discarded their weapons with alacrity. There were 78 of them. "Any more?" Lenert asked. The captain admitted there might be a few more left, but they were stowed away In dugouts and out posts, and would have to shift for themselves. There was no time to lose. Leading His Flock "Come on, then," said the Marine, and, In scandalous contravention of the approved methods, brandished his newly acquired pistol, and led rather than drove his prisoners forth.

How many more years will the human race be called on to suffer J this agony? God alone knows. But If \ It be not Impious for a mortal man to dare Interpret the decrees of the Al piighty I do now most solemnly say that, although this carnival of woe may be permitted by Providence to Bcourge'us for months or years yet to j come. It cannot cease till Germany Is j beaten to her knees. And why d) 1 dare in the same breath proclaim that j the issue rests in the hands of the j Lord of Hosts and yet that I am con- I Tinced in my very soul that the only I outcome can be Germany's defeat? ! This is my answer: If I believed oth- I erwlse I would cease to be a Chris ! tian; If I admitted the possibility of a Prussian victory I would never again believe that He who gave us the Ser mon on the Mount riled on the Cross of Calvary for man's Redemption. I would know, perforce, and go sorrow ful to my grave with the knowledge, that Might is more potent than Right, that the ethics which brought France, Britain, Italy, America and even poor, torn Russia into the conflict, the prin ciple which led Belgium to risk and lose all, the sheer sense of justice j which has ranged twenty other na tions on our side, were nothing more noff less than foolish, even grotesque j blunders. Yet I laugh to scorn the | notion that I shall ever accept any J such theory—no, not till Milton's re i Incarnated self declares him a disciple j of Lucifer, not till Shakespeare rises from his grave and scoffs at the beau | tlful England he loved so well- not till : Lincoln's Gettysburg speech is proved a sham and a fraud. Some miracles | do happen, but not such miracles as these. I have lost everything I valued I in the world. I walk hand in hand with tribulation, but there Is a great Joy In my heart that comes to my aid even In those dreadful watches of the nigh): when memories of the dead drive almost to frenzy those who loved them and still live, because I know—yes, I know —that my country ia fighting for the right, and not my own dear land alone, but her kith and been improved considerably by his study of the map, and when he be came confused once on the way back the captain proffered his compass, and they soon had their bearings again. It was like that all the way through—an affable party, with the Germans doing double time every once in a while when they feared they might not get as thoroughly captured as they had decided, by this time, they wanted to be. The first point they struck was the headquarters of another regiment, for Lenert did not know his own command had vacated their prem ises and moved on elsewhere. He got his new directions and started on. any guards?" they asked respectfully. "Don't need any guards," he re plied. "but I'd like a couple of guides." '•I Got Some Prisoners" So his staff was increased by two, and off down the road the strange procession moved. A little later and I he was roaring the announcement: I "Say," come on down; I got some ' prisoners. I have." They were patting Lenert on the ' back, not under any delusion that he valiantly ran down and captured sin gle-handed S2 stubbornly resisting soldiers of the enemy, but because he apparently was quick-witted enough to give the final fillip to their impulse to throw up their hands, and because he had himself nego tiated the surrender. The misinformation he gave the j German captor was not such a great stretching of the truth, for. as a matter of fact, that little group of Germans were gone geese that even ing. If they had been so minded, however, they could have made a company of Yankees pay dearly for that bit of woods. But the Amer icans. when they pushed forward later to take the nest at whatever ' Co: t. found that nest empty. The birds bad flown. They did not learn till later that they had flown with Private Lenert. FIRST TROOPS AT MARSH RUN SEPT. 1 [Continued from First Page.] of at least 400 troops, including an Infirmary, officers' quarters, mess halls, kitchens and baths. The build ings will be heated and there will be hot water for the men. Several of the big warehouses, for the storage j of perishable goods, also will be j heated but for the most part no heat I will be required.

Finished in October The work, which is under % the dl ' rectlonof Major Morava. is being done expeditiously by the James kin In every clime where the English tongue is the speech of the p>ple. We have dared all; we shall gain all. So If you have read into this preface the meaning I have striven to convey you will understand that In the re mainder of tills brief essay I shall tell of the glory and the Immensity o* Britain's achievements in this war not to flaunt her deeds In the eyes of the world, but as an earnest of the self same sacrifices and Ideals that shall flow from this great nation of tin West In an ever-increasing and irre sistible stream. That is my purpose, and I want to declare It now. Britain has done much and, though weary and blood-stained, will do more, but the measure of her heroic effort can sure ly be applied to the determination of the splendid country in which I write tlffese lines. Why, to mix with you Americans on the days when the news seeiiiS bad, when some disaster at sea or some reverse on land chills the blood and adds a fre&h burthen to an overladen heart, is the best of all tonics for an Englishman. 1 have gone out to address audiences of an evening when my soul was heavy within me. when each mouthful of food in a well-appointed club or hotel had almost choked me by contrast with the privations better men than 1 were enduring with steadfastness. But the first sight of an American au dience, the first ringing cheers evoked not by my oratory, but my theme, brought a healing and a strengthening altogether Divine in their efficacy, for here. Indeed, In the truest sense of the phrase, the voice of the people became the voice of God. Well, the record has many items. Let es begin with the worst, the Ir remediable, the tax levied by death. It is a sad showing. The British cas ualties in officers and men are as fol lows: August, 1914, to the end of 1915 550,000 In the year 1916 650,000 In the year 1917 800,000 In six months of the preser.t year (estimated) ~. 500,000 -,500,000 Of these at least one-fifth must be counted among the dead. So half a million gallant men of the British Em pire are lying in their graves all over the world or hidden forever in the terrible and mysterious depths of the sea, while more than another half mil lion are so maimed and broken that they can never again be counted as useful citizens of a world wherein a man must work if he would eat and therefore live. New York and many other great cities In the United States love a procession, and It is a startling fact to note that If the dead and whol ly war-shattered youth of the British Empire could march down Fifth ave nue in platoons of twenty men in a rank the r~Md host could not pass Black Construction Company and Bates & Rogers. The warehouses, more than 1,000 feet long and over one hundred wide, are going up at the rate of one each week, which is marvelously rapid work. More than 1,000 men are at work on the job, although twice that number were employed in the beginning and there is still more room for many un skilled laborers. Indeed the work is being held back by lack of ordinary labor, skilled workmen being com paratively plentiful. Cement roads will be laid through out the development as there will be much hauling to be done from one warehouse to another. The goods to be stored there will be of every kind required by the quartermasters de partment and will be assembled here and shipped abroad as rapidly as needed by the armies in Prance. The development will run well up to $12,000,000. it is understood. Navy Not in Need of Men Now, Chief Says By Associated Press ' . Washington, Aug. B.—Extension of the draft system to the Navy is not regarded as necessary at this time by the Navy Department.

YANKEE FLYER FINDS GRAVE OF ROOSEVELT By Associated Press With the American Army on the Vcslc, Aug. 7 (Wednesday).— On a wooden cross at the head of a grave at the edge of a wood at Chamery, east of Fere-on-Tar denois, is .this Inscription: "Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, burled by the Germans." German newspapers announced several days ago that Lieutenant Roosevelt, who disappeared dur ing an aerial combat on July 17, had been buried by the Germans at Chamery, but until to-day the grave was not discovered. It was found by an American aviator. The inscription is in English. HARRISBURG %$&&& TELEGRAPH from Central Park to Washington square in ten long summer days. Amer ica Is proud, and very properly proud, of the great army she has poured into France. It Is a million, In round num bers, a million of first rate fighting men carried In British ships with ab solute safety across perilous seas. But Britain has already lost a mil lion In dead and grievously wound ed, while two and a half millions have been smitten by the pestilence called Germany. I have not exaggerated GREAT BRITAIN'S LEADERS BRITISH OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS these figures. They are official. We know some of the details with a mournful exactitude. During one month In France in 1917 we had 27,000 men killed. In the first twelve months of the war we had 0,660 officers and 95,000 men killed. During the month of April of this year as the result of the great battles which 'began on March 21, 1918, we had over 10,000 casualties among officers alone. Of course we have killed and wounded many Germans. But chat does that matter? What does It matter how many of the brutes are killed? It Is our duty, a duty put on us by ' he laws we live under, obey and swear by to ALLIES GAIN IN JOINT MOVE ON KAISER'S ARMY [Continued From Page One.] They are believed t</ have destroyed some of the bridges over the Aisne and to have taken some of their heavy guns across that river. , In the district north of the Somme the Germans are reported to have launched two counterattacks. The British arti'llery fire broke them up. The prisoners taken by the British are so numerous that they are having difficulty in handling them. London, Aug. B.—Several thousand prisoners have been taken by the Franco-British forces in their offensive in Picardy, the Evening Standard learns. According to reports. received this afternoon the allies have captured the town of Moreuil, Demuin, Ablancourt, and Morlan court, the heights west of Cerisy and the heights south of Morlancourt. British and French troops attack ed this morning from Albert, north east of Amiens, to Montdidier, on the Ave, southeast of Amiens, the front of attack being approximately twen ty-eight miles. Meager reports from the field In dicate ttiat the allies have advanced to a depth of about two miles south of the Simme, and probably have taken the villages of Mrcelcave and La Motte-en-SenteA-e. Americans Not In Drive It is reported from Washington that it is not believed American forces are engaged in the present fighting. Americans were holding the line at Cantigny, some time ago, i but were withdrawn and sent to the Aisne-Marne salient, where they par ticipated in the recent victory over the Germans This new attack, launched lust thref weeks after Field Marshal Foch's masterly countey offensive against the western side of the Sois son-Rheims salient, has been ex pected since the Germans were driven back to the Aisne and the Vesle. It was not believed the allied commanders would permit the ini tiative to pass to the enemy after the j stunning defeat administered to him along the Marne. Foch is known to be an offensive fighter and it has been predicted that a new blow would fall on the German lines be fore they had time to reorganize their | shattered divisions behind the Veslo and the Aisne. Germans Get Foreword The Germans seem to have had I knowledge of the plans of the allied j commander-in-chief for during the | past ten days they have carried out local retirements in the northern sectors of their line—two of these withdrawals being in the Picardy sa lient, one on each side of Albert, along the Ancre river, and the oth er along the Avre river, north of Montdidier. In each case the enemy retired to positions before which rivers form partial protection. The fighting in Picardy recalls the great offensives carried out there by the British and French in 191(1, and the German "strategic retreat" to the Hlndenburg line in February and 'March, 1917. The British had forc ed their way during the fall eastward from Albert to the neighborhood of Grand Court, west of Bapaume, and the French were before Noyon, al most directly to the south, when in the early months of 1917, the Ger mans discovered that the allies had massed guns and materials for a major offensive. They ttaei> retreat- keep on killing them till they cease to plague mankind. I have.no concern for Germans. You Americans have a frontier proverb, "A good Injun Is a dead Injun!" Until Germany casts out the devil of Kalserism and goes back a hundred years to the race which prpduced s&roe decent and use ful members of ihe body corporate I shall believe most firmly that the best German Is a dead German. What does grieve me most profoundly is the knowledge that Britain—and every word 1 have written would be stulti fied if you did not realize that 1 am proud of my own folk—lias lost the flower of her manhood, just as you, my honored friends tn America, will lose a stock hard to replace if the mil lion of your magnificent youth in Franc; and the other millions you will put In the field until there are enough dead Germans are fated to show a cas ualty list comparable with that of Britain. But do not misunderstand me. My faith in the destiny of our joint race# It supreme. Are not our ncad the best warranty of the past and the brightest hope of the future? They are our very •oxvn, flesh of our Ed to the Cambrai-La Fere line, which they occupied until March 21, 1918, and from which they launched their first great offensive of the pres ent summer. Battle Ground Familiar The field over which the British are fighting: to-day is familiar ground to them, but to the south the French must force the enemy back from ter ritory newly occupied during the March offensive. Six miles to the eastward (they will tome to the old battle ground of Picardy. When the Germans withdrew in February and March, 1917, they de stroyed every house and building in the evacuated area, cut down every tree and, in the words of a German military critic, "prepared the ground for future operation." It is over this battlefield that the Germans again must rtetreat if the allies are successful in their present attack. Germans Face Costly Rout Viewed on the map, the front over which the new attack is being made was chosen because of its strategic relations to the German positions to the north and south. If the assault is successful the Germans, to the north, must drop back over the. ground they won at an immense cost in lives in March. To the south, their positions southeast of Montdi dier, taken by them in the terrible battles early in June, when they were foiled in their efforts to reach Com piegne will be in Jeopardy. Indirectly,'an allied victory from Montidier northward would weaken the line along the Atsne, to which the Germans seem about to retire after their defeat north of the Marne. Pari*, Aug. B.—Reports received up to mid-afternoon indicated the of fensive was progressing favorably. The average advance was approxi mately two and one half miles on a front of slightly more than 25 miles. The allied advance at some points was more than three miles. Important material has been cap tured by the advancing troops. London, Aug. B.—British troops launched an offensive east and south east of Amiens this morning, says a statement from Field Marshal .Halg to-day. Early reports indicate the attack Is progressing satisfactorily. The attack is under the command of Field Marshal Haig and Is on a wide front, .the statement adds. The troops engaged, British fourth army and the French ttiat army, advanced at dawp flesh and bone of our bone. They are at once our tribute and our inspira tion. We who gave this holocaust must be worthy of It. We who are left must be more resolute, more knightly, more grandly indifferent to loss or suf fering, than those who have gone. How can it be otherwise? The cross they bore, the sacrifice they made, is all the lighter for us because of their example. The blood of the martyrs Is the seed of the Church of Christ? The blood of our dead Is the seed of a race which shall transcend tn power and greatness the wildest dream ever dreamed by enthusiastic Pan-German. It must be so. It is a deduction based on the soundest theory of life, the very essence of all that science has taught us either of men or of the low er animals. But J cannot blind my eyes to the immediate gaps in our ranks. Our universities are empty. Oxford and Cambridge gave eight thousand of their undergraduates to the army in the first year of the war, and, be It re membered, no matter what view may be hek", as to the value of a university education, these young men were the future rulers of the British Empire— THUNDERSTORM WILL END THEJIEAT WAVE [Continued from First Page.] MERCURY AGAIN CLIMBS UPWARD Hour— Taes.

For the first time in several days coverlet;*, thin though they may have been, found their places on Harrisburg beds. Temperatures throughout the early morning to-day were considerably lower than yesterday, but the city was experiencing little less suffering than yestercJ&y. The comparatively high humidity was the cause. On Tuesday and yesterday during the tropical heat, the humidity was standing at a rather low figure, rang ing between 34 and 44. To-day, however. General Humid ity took a jump and at 9 o'clock w? at the 81 mark, at least counterbal ancing the five degrees drop in to day's temperatures. The first read ings of the thermometer at the Har risburg Weather Bureau to-day showed the mercury standing at 76 degrees at 8 o'clock. One hour later, the 80 degree figure had been reach ed with the mercury climbing stead ily. New Record Yesterday Yesterday's temperatures averaged considerably higher than Tuesday, despite the fact that the highest temperature, 104.3 degrees, recorded at 4 o'clock, was one-tenth degree lower than Tuesday's unprecedented high temperature of 104.4 degrees. Conditions yesterday were consid erably worse-than the previous day. Temperatures throughout the morn ing averaged four degrees higher and in the afternoon with temperatures approximately the same as those of Tuesday, the conditions were aggra vated by a ten-degree rise In the humidity. Yesterday's mark was 44 and that of Tuesday but 34. Yesterday a new record in the an nals of the Harrisburg Weather Bu reau was established —the mean tem perature, the average of the highest and lowest temperatures of the day. yesterday was 92 degrees, de grees higher than the previous rec ord. Tuesday's weather had tied this record. The old record had been made on August 9, 1900. Three More Deaths Three deaths are reported In to day's lists. Two of them occurred at the Harrisburg Hospital. Five-months-old Leo Dingier, whose mother lives at Oberlln and whose father hospital authorities say Is in France with the American Ex peditionary Forces,-died as the result of intestinal troubles, which were said to be the result of the heat. The child was admitted to the hospital four days ago. Park Proxell,' 26 years, of Ly kenß, was the fourth victim to die from the heat in Harrisburg. He had AUGUST 8, 1918. It* prime ministers, its secretaries of state, Its judges, Its gcrernors of far off lands. Its parliamentarians, law yers, professors, scientists, its un doubted leaders in every branch of human thought and endeavor. That is part of the price asked of us for cuooslng to support Right as against Might, and it Is a heavy impost in it self. Again, we have lost nearly every officer and man of that small but su perbly efficient army which we threw Into France early* In August, 1914. It has been estimated that Britain has fought on seventeen fronts during the past four years. One can readily enumerate most of them, for her troops have been to the fore In Belgium, France, Italy, Serbia, Greece, Russia, Palestine, Mesopotamia, China and North, East and West Africa, to name only the main theaters of the war. She and her Colonies have raised 7,500,000 soldiers, and of this total England's (not Great Britain's) pro portion Is 60 per cent In this regard I must remove a misapprehension, or, to be candid, nail down a Hun lie, which has found credence in some quarters. I shall not labor the point. It should suffice If I state with abso lute authority that one man In every seven and a half of the population of England is in the army. The same ratio holds good of Scotland. Wales has contributed one man in every ten and a fifth, Ireland one man In every twenty-six and a third and the over seas dominions one man in every fif teen. Those are the cold, hard facts as to man power In the army, while the following table tells Its own story and refutes another Hun lie: Relative proportions of men In Brit ish forces and of casualties suffered by each port of British empire, exclu sive of India, Africa, etc., to Novem ber, 1017: Per Cent Per Cent of Armed of Casu- Forces. alties. England and Wales 70 76 Scotland ........ 8 10 Ireland 6 6 Dominions and Col onies 16 8 I do not apologize for reverting to the casualty Il?t. It is essential that these statistics should be made known. It is difficult tn a short article to con vey any fair picture of Britain's work In other fields. In heavy guns alone she manufactured during the third year of the war twenty-seven times as many as in the first year and two hundred and twenty times as much ; ammunition. The expenditure of rifle ammunition per week Is now sixty-five times greater than the average weekly expenditure during the first ten months of the war. The output of ma chine guns has Increased thirty-nine times. Two thousand miles of railway track, one thousand locomotives and many tens of thousands of wagons have been shipped abroad. The Min- been at the Harrisburg Hospital for several days with appendicitis, but yesterday's hot weather overtaxed his strength and he died when the ther mometer was at its highest in the afternoon. His wife survives him. The third death within the past twenty-four hours Is that of L. Culic, 915 South Front street, Steelton. Culic, an employe of the Bethlehem Steel Company, in its Steelton plant, was stricken about 6 o'clock last evening and died within a short time. Many Prostration* Prostrations as a result of the tropical heat were many. Men em ployed on the railroads and in in dustrial plants, suffered much. Many railroaders were overcome by the heat and compelled to go to their homes. Few plants had their men working at full speed. At the quartermaster's depot, at Marsh Run, seven men were over come by the heat yesterday. None of them are any the worse to-day as the result and all of them are back at work. Two horses were overcome during the day and died from the ef fects. Small Child Overcome Naomi Blackwell, of Steelton, was admitted to the hospital late yes terday, overcome by the heat. Her condition is not serious and she was permitted to go home this morning. J. C. Firestone, of Washington Heights, a car repairman in the Rutherford shops, was overcome yes terday. Jacob German, 66 years old, a Pennsylvania railroad car inspector, was one of the oldest heat victims. Many unusual incidents have been reported as a result of the intense heat. Crockery and glassware and window panes in many sections of the city were cracked. Asphalt of street has been decidedly affected by the temperature. Pedestrians cross ing the streets can feel it give under them and horses are making deep cuts in the streets. Exceptionally big demands have been made in Harrisburg during the past two days on ice cream parlors and soda fountains for their prod ucts. Practically every one in the city experienced unequaled demands for ice cream and cool fountain drinks, a great many of which they were un able to supply. Approximately 13,000 gallons of ice cream is believed to have been consumed in the city dur ing this time, but no estimate of the amount of fountain beverages used has been made. Penbrook Citizens to Act on Water Supply Trouble Officials of the Hummelstown Con solidated Water Company expect to have the several breaks In the piping system entirely repaired before even ing. The pumps of the company have been shut oft for a period of two hours during the day while repairs were being made. For some time there has been con siderable difficulty with the Penbrook water supply, due to breaks in the piping system of the water company. Officials this morning said that after these repairs have been completed, they believe the dlfllculty will end. Penbrook citizens are somewhat displeased, however, with the incon venience that the water supply has occasioned here.
