TIME AT HAND TO KEEP GERMANS ON THE RUN (Continued From first Page) ■*var is at hand should be discourag ed. the chief of staff said, but the time has come to keep the enemy running and to flit him hard. The gi eatest advantage to the allies is that they have taken the offensive and can keep the enemy guessing in -1 ptead of guessing themselves. . Yanks Not in Drive Although the British war office has announced it. General March had no official information that American troops are participating in the drive in Pieardy, which already has enabled the allied forces to bring the enemy's main line of communi cation under gun fire. The chief of staff read a confiden tial report showing the British had taken in the first days of the drive more prisoners than they could handle, and also had captured all •enemy artillery in their immediate front. The report added that a Ger man general and his staff had been captured. Turning to the situation on the Yesle General March said French and and American troops had been "nib. I ling" along that Vine but had made no attempt as yet to advance up the Slopes north of the river where the German lines of chief resistance are supposed to stand. May Duplicate Mar no Battle The temporary stabilization of the lighting on the Vesle front had been pi omptly met by Marshal Koch, he added, by the blow at Pieardy where events of the Marne battle seem like ly to be duplicated. The importance of the allied ad vance on Chaulnes, a junction on the only liiie the enemy has over which to 'withdraw from the depths of his Pieardy position, was pointed out. Pressure against this point is placing the Germans in a difficult situation. Laying emphasis on the necessity of pressing on vigorously and giving the enemy no chance to rest or read just himself, General March said this was the object of the war de partment in seeking to raise the age limits of the draft and to hurry to France ever-increasing American' forces. Rainbow Division Fast of Rhrims In answer to questions. General March said the Forty-second (Rain bow) division, after receiving its combat training in Lorraine, had Joined the French east of Rheims on July 15 and helped to break the enemy drive at that place. Reading from a record of the division's move ments, he said that in eight days of battle, it had forced passage of the fiurcq, met six different enemy divi sions and had advanced sixteen kilometers and taken prisoners from each of the opposing enemy divisions. The 29th Division is in Alsace southeast of Epinal the 79th still Is In the American training areas and the 85th now is arriving in France, Its infantry having landed and its artillery being about to land. The 27th Division, under Major General <V Ryan and composed of New York National Guard, was last reported ■with the British in Flanders. General March made no reference to the number of American troops now overseas or on the way. Last week he told the correspondents that the number had passed the 1,300,- 000 mark. Washington, Aug. 10.—The Brit ish War Office official statement ,i o- on the drive in Pieardy reveals for tho first time the fact that Amer ican troops are taking part in this] smashing blow there againet the ene-| yny.

With the village they took 100 prisoners. The 50th Division, a crack unit, was ordered into battle to stop the pressure of the French in the valley of the Ardre. It was a regiment of this division which lost one-third of its number on July 22. The next day the commander of the 10th Company reported he had been reduced to thir ty-five men. The commander of the 12th Company declared no one was left in the 7th Company. In other battalions of the regiment similar conditions were reported. Prisoners say the 39th Regiment lost from 6ft to 75 per cent, of its effectiveness in three days. On July 24 the 82d Regiment was compelled to form three companies of its three battalions put back into the line. Before engaging in the bat tle the companies.of another division consisted of eighty men each, many being nineteen-year-old boys. As a result of losses, the division was re duced by one-half to July 29. In the region of Fere-en-Tardenois, one regiment of the 22d division was re duced to three companies. The number of effectives in the average German company is now about ninety men, exclusive of offi cers and supplementary non-commis sioned officers. The deserter from the Fourth Prus sian Grand division, said that sap pers had been ordered by General Kinck von Finckenstein to destroy everything within their power. Sim ilar orders also were issued by lieu tenants to bombers. Prisoners taken from different di visions on various parts of the front agree that it is the German plan to retire to the Aisne. BAKER GRILLED BY SENATORS IN AIRCRAFT PROBE War Secretary's Answer "En tirely Unsatisfactory"; Cabi net Officer Is Angry Washington. Aug. 10. —Secretary of War Buker spent an uncomfort able hour before the Senate Military Affairs Committee's subcommittee on aircraft yesterday. According to members of the sub committee the session finally broke up when the members became angry at the Secretary of War for what they termed his refusal properly to answer questions put to him con cerning the aircraft production. The subcommittee is composed of Senators Thomas, Democrat, of Colo rado. chairman; Reed, Missouri, and Smith, Georgia, Democrats, and Fre linghuysen, New Jersey, and New, Indiana, Republicans. Secretary Baker was called as the last witness in the investigation into aircraft production which the com mittee has been conducting for the last two months. Baker, Too Was Angry The nature of Mr. Baker's testi mony or the questions asked him members of the investigating com mittee declined to make public, but they declared after the session ended that the Sec retary of War had given "entirely unsatisfactory" answers to the questions. Mr. Baker appeared to be great ly disturbed after his appearance be fore the committee, and he also de clined to discuss the nature of the grilling he had undergone. Senator Thomas said the subcom mittee has concluded its work, atid that the report on its findings will be made public next week. In making its investigation, the committee visited all of the aircraft plants in the United States, and sum moned scores of witnesses who testi fied regarding all stages of the de velopment of the airplane program under the first aircraft hoard, and the present production board. Startling, rnenllcd-For Delays Members of the committee yester day said they have disclosed many startling facts, showing uncalled-for delays in the production of plans for the Army, due chiefly to prolonged experimenting, which the committee does not believe was necessary. Numerous instances of graft in the awarding and filling of contracts for airplanes came to the attention of the committee in the course of its investigation, the members said, but in each instance, evidence was turn ed over to Charles Evans Hughes, &ho is making a criminal investiga tion of the failure of the aircraft program for the Department of Jus tice. The report of the Senate subcom mittee will deal only with the causes for the fall-down In the pro gram for turning out the thousands of airplanes that the other Allies asked of the United States when this country entered the war, said Sena tor Thomas.

The depth of the gain was about 1,000 yards. This attack was the opening move of the second great allied offensive, which is now' raging over a thirty-mile front in Picardy. American Army Chief Factor In New Battle, Says London London, Aug. 10. THE general feeling In London is that the. importance of the new battle launched Thursday morning cannot he overestimated. It was only a month ago that all the talk of the British military critics was whether the allies could hold on in the face of the great German offensive which the German people had been told was to finish the war. The initiative has now been taken from the enemy, and within the month the allies have engaged in two important battles with conspicuous success. It is not too rfiuch to say that the American Army has been the chief factor in this Result. The experienced military critic of the Westminster Gazette says only what all soldiers who have seen American mettle put to the test are saying, that the American troops are equal to any in the world. The moral effect of their appear ance in France, even though a comparatively small proportion of them is yet on the fighting line, has been the transformation in the British and French armies of determination to resist into the confidence of victory. WAR STAMP SALE IN COUNTY SETS NEW HJGH RECORD Dauphin's Per Capita Mark Passes Philadelphia; Sell Most Last Week ThrUled by the news of the victor ious onrush of the Yankees in France, Dauphin countians last week purchased War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps to a value far greater than they purchased in any one week of the campaign previous to this. . Agents for the sales of the stamps in this county last week established the unprecedented record of $50,990 worth of sales and raised the county per capita sales past that of Phila delphia, Dauphin's closest rival. War Savings Stamps sold during the week totaled 11,398, while 13,351 Thrift Stamps were sold. I'nss Philadelphia Sales for the week amounted to $0.37 for each person living within the confines of the county. The per capita salos were raised to $4.60 by this record. Philadelphia's per cap ita sales amount to $4.35. Total sales in Dauphin county equal $699,- 5 95. Chairman Frank C. Sites consid ers this record quite favorable and says that it augurs well for the ul timate success of the campaign to sell $3,000,000 worth of stamos in the county. "With our boys fighting so gallantly and winning such glor ious victories 'over there,' " he syys, "shouldn't we all be willing to back the movement to our utmost to bring about the ultimate success of the campaign to aid in bringing the war to a successful conclusion as early as possible." Nearby Counties Busy Per capita sales of nearbv coun ties are: Adams, $3.98; Cumber land, SS.2O; Franklin, $5.00; Juniata, $6.09; Lancaster, $9.58; Mifflin, $8.91; Perrv, $6.58; Union, $21.14.

FEDERAL RULING PERMITTING USE OF MEAT ISSUED County Food Administrator Expects Formal Notice Soon Abolishing Restrictions The new ruling of the federal food administration abolishing restric tions on the use of meat, has not yet been received by Donald McCormick, Dauphin county food administrator, but when the administrator read the dispatch this morning he expressed it as his belief that it will be only a matter of time until the order is ap plied locally. "I believe it is official and see no reason why you should not publish it," was his comment. The dispatch follows: "Restrictions on the use of meats were lifted to-day by the food ad ministration. While the American public will be asked to use lighter beef, so that the heavier cattle may be exported, the regulation forbid ding hotels and other public eating places to serve beef more than once a week are now rescinded, and the ration of one and one-half pound a week to householders Is abolished. Danger of Shortage Over "The food administration believes that the danger of a shortage has now been averted, and that there are sufficient supplies in prospect for the United States and the allied nations. It asks, however, that economy be practiced in the consumption of beef, as well as of other foodstuffs, iind that wasteful practices be care fully eliminated. "It was explained to-day that the extreme drought in Texas, Okla homa and other sections of the Southwest, which also affects Mon tana and certain areas in adjacent states in the Northwest, had caused a cattle run 50 per cent, heavier than in the corresponding yield last year. "There is always a liberal run of the lighter cattle at this season of the year, but the present supply is excessive," a statement read. Exnort Many CatUe "Practically all of the heavier and fatter cattle are needed for export purposes, for our own armed forces and those of owr allies, because on account of their thickness and fatty covering they are less subject to de terioration during the transfer from cars to ships and freezers when they are not protected by refrigeration. "In rescinding regulations which prohibited public eating places from serving beef more than once a day and in releasing the householders from their voluntary agreement to curtail purchases to 11-2 pounds a week, including bone, the food ad ministration requests that this freer use of beef be restricted so far as practicable to the cattle which dress under 476 pounds. To achieve this, the retail meat markets are asked to specialize in the use of these light er cattle, and families and patrons of all public eating places are re quested to patriotically accept beef of this weight, even though they have heretofore been accustomed £o using the heavier beef only. To Use Lightweight Cattle "The cjesire of the food adminis tration at present is not primarily to increase the consumption of beef as*a whole, hut to induce a prefer ence in favor of the llghterweight cattle of which we have an abnormal surplus. This wjll bring about a con servation of the heavier cattle need ed for our soldiers and for export to our allies. At the same time It will afford a measure of protection through increased outlet for cattle raisers in the drought afflicted areas.' BOYS BREAK INTO Y. M. C. A. Shippensburg, Pa., Aug. 10.— Several boys broke into the Y. M. C. A. and turned over the tables and took the pictures from the wall.— The Rev. A. W. Poff, local secretary of the Y. M. C.

Aug. 10.—Premier Lloyd George, who came here to at tend the Welsh National Eisteddfodd, In receiving the freedom of Neath yesterday declared that "the end of the tunnel" through which the Al lies have been traveling for four years was getting nearer. Mr. Lloyd George made no apology to any man, he said, for any part he had played during the war. "And I propose to tight on to the end," he added. Some people had complained, con tinued the Premier, that he was too optimistic in the view he took of things. "I don't think I can," he insisted. "I was not one of those who thought it would soon be over. Never! I thought It a long job and a terrible Job. but I have always been confident we would get through, for I knew we were fighting for the light and that the God of Righteousness would see us through." The Premier appealed to his coun trymen to r put all the might of the Empire into the tight saying: "We. will be through the tunnel into the broad daylight of God's sun again, in a land of peace,, real peace, without apprehension of sinister, dark, plotting forces to renew the slaughter. No, never again! "That is why I am appealing to my countrymen. Now we have con fidence. We have good news. The annihilated army hit back Thursday morning at dawn. If anybody had told Ludendorff on the 22d of March that up to the month of August he would be trying to get his guns away from the advancing French and British armies—well, I don't know German and, therefore, I cannot tell what his answer would be, but I be lieve It would be in very strong language indeed. NO MORE MEN TO BE ENLISTED IN ARMY, IS ORDER Lieut. Lesher Officially Noti fied to Stop Recruiting in Harrisburg District Lieutenant Robert W. Lesher, com manding: the Harrisburg Recruiting party of the Regular Army, received orders to stop at once the enlisting of men for the Army. The orders went into effect last evening at 6 o'clock and at 7.10 o'clock this even ing the last shipment of men will be made from the Harrisburg office. A rush in recruiting was an nounced to-day. The only men the local recruiting authorities could en list were those who had signified their intention of enlisting before last evening. Fifty men, it was estimated, will be sent away this evening, fif teen of them from Steelton alone. ■Some Are Too Late Several young men tried to enlist this morning. Among those who were too late to be accepted were Christian L. Jennings, 7 South Front street, son of William Jennings, pres ident of the Commonwealth Trust Company, and John C. Kunkel, Jr., 11 South Front street. No information of what Is to be done with the men in the recruiting party was contained in the orders to stop accepting men. There are sixty men in the Harrisburg district, which is composed of eighteen sub stations. Many of the men have re cently been sent to officers training camps and more are to go in the near future, but they have been re placed by new men. May Get Special Work Recruiting officers this morning were of the opinion that the great recruiting organization, composed of sixty-four districts in the United States, with from ten to twenty sub stations each, would be given spe cial work to do, and would not be disorganized. They point out that the recruiting organization is Invaluable to the nation, and that it is likely to be maintained. Lieutenant Lesher and Harry Schifman, top sergeant, are both of this opinion. Has Enviable Record The local recruiting office has had an enviable record since the begin ning of the war, almost continuously leading the entire country in. the number of enlistments reported. Un til July 1, the party had enlisted 771 men from the cjty and 497 men from the county, exclusive of the Navy, Marines and civilian officers training camps. Since August 1, 202 men have been enlisted, and fifty more are expected to-day. The rec ord of 250 men during the first ten days of the month breaks all pre vious ones, while last month broke all other records, more than 750 men having been enlisted. Local officials are awaiting orders, from Washington regarding their fu ture activities. MRS. CLARA E. MAHER Mrs. Clara E.

The bill presented would authorize the Presi dent, for the period of the war, to control rental charges in certain dis tricts and to requisition all rights and interests in those areas where reside industrial workers who are engaged in arsenals, shipyards, navy yards, other federal agencies and In industries connected with and essen tial to the national defense."

Dauphin county officials said they had a short conference with representatives from Luzerne 1 county and had made arrangements to go to Wilkes-Barre to make a study of the coal land assessment methods used there. In Luzerne county a few years ago after court appeals and much legal argument, the county succeeded in raising the assessment of coal lands to almost full valuation. It was nec essary to employ two expert mining engineers for the work and to estab lish sufficient evidence for the county to win its case, but since that time there have been no appeals. The en gineers arc still in service there and when the Dauphin commissioners go to Wilkes-Barre they will spend much time with these experts to de termine what steps should be taken here to secure proper values on the extensive coal lands in the northern end of the county. Owing to the torrid wave which settled over the eastern part of the county earlier in the week the of ficials from all pyts of the state who gathered at tMttsburgh post poned action on a number of import ant questions which had been raised.
