By Associated Press

bate beginning simultaneously in Ihe

power bill extending the Army draft
age limits to 18 and 45 years. Pas
sage In the House was expected be
fore adjournment while the Senate
was expected to enact the measure
counted upon as a vital factor In
winning the war within a few days.
Contests over the inclusion of the
"work or fight" amendment, which
appears in the Senate military com
mittee draft ot the bill and which
will be brought up on the floor of the
I House, were expected. The House
i military committee amendment pro
viding that youths of 18 and 19 rhall j
be called after those of the higher |
ages was expected to be eliminated, i
Senator Chamberlain made. a
vigorous argument for the work or

"this pussy-foot policy of getting

WAR N OBAR TO
HOUSE BUILDING
[Continued from First Page.]
population earlier than Harrisburg,
because of the great impetus given
local industries by the war very
early in the conflict.
The first step was to interest local
industries through the Chamber of
Commerce in the financing of the
cost of a housing survey, with an
I authority to make an address on
the subject before the members of
the chamber and others interested.
The survey was made under the di
tection of the Chamber of Com
merce by unquestioned experts.
Managers of industries at once
saw the importance of the step and
gave every assistance to the investi
gators in their work, making full
and complete reports to the cham
ber on special blanks prepared for
the purpose and otherwise aiding
in the gathering of necessary ma
terial.
The Second Step
The findings verified what those
in charge of the survey already
knew—that the city was in a bad
way for houses and that it must
meet the demand if its war indus
tries were to continue to prosper
and if it was to grow after the war.
Here and there was found a person
who did not understand the neces
sity and fought shy of "advertising
Sharon as a town of no homes."
These thought that industries would
be kept away by a housing cam
paign, but it was soon shown that
the man looking for a location for
•i branch house or shipping station
r.o longer grabs the first site of
fered, but goes thoroughly into the
whole situation and goes no place
where housing conditions are not
good, for labor is too scarce %nd too
well paid to remain long at a place
where the workman and his family
cannot be properly housed.
The second step, after the need
had been shown, was to place the
survey data at the disposal of the
public and to form a company to
finance and build houses to rent, the
financing of this project to be done
by the parties most interested with
the moral and active support of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The third step was to place a full
report of what had been done, to
gether with complete data, before
the Housing Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor In Washington, with
a request for aid from this depart
ment, It having been shown that
the war was largely responsible for
the scarcity of houses, that local
builders hesitated to put up houses
at present prices and at the risk of
violating the Government's own re
strictions against building. In order
to avoid any criticism the chamber
was guided in the selection of a de
velopment site by the advice of the
city planner of the National Bureau
of Housing, which also granted aid
necessary to the lifting of all em
bargoes on building materials and
whatsoever assistance was necessary
to aid the Government and others
building In the locality.
This In a rough way was the man-
I tier In which Sharon took up the
Ihig housing operation now under
way, details of which will be given
in a series of two articles to follow.
Upon the Ailette front the sudden
| attack of the French caused the re
treat of a division of Uerman re
serves which has been preparing for
a counterblow. In Its retreat It pre
cipitated a panic In the ranks of a
second division of reserves which had
been intended to support the first di
vision's assault, according to advices
to newspapers here.
YANKEES GOOD
SOLDIERS, BUT
ROUGH STUFF
Austrian Prisoner Tells Con
gressman Kincheloe Impres
sion of American Fighter
Washington, Aug. 22.—"We saw a
German prisoner In Chateau-Thierry
on July 28, who said he had not
known until that afternoon that
there was an American soldier In
France," said Congressman Kinche
loe, just returned to Washington
from visits to Italy, France and Eng
land. "When an Austrian prisoner,
was asked what he thought of the
Americans as fighting men he said:
"They make good soldiers, but they
are a little rough.' "
Charging machine gun nests was
not generally practised by the allies
until the United States troops began
raiding them at the point of the bay
onet around Chateau-Thierry. The
French and British use the slower
I method of shelling them out. The
j Americans have followed up their
policy to such an extent that United
j States officers have had trouble in
holding back their men. This diffi-
I culty was explained by Representa
tive George M. Young, of North Da
' kota, soon after he reached the Cap
! itol who said:
"A young American officer, who
was shot through the hand ,and had
that disabled member in a bandage
as he talked to me, said that he had
had to threaten some of his men with
death to keep them from charging
head-on into machine gun nests. 'I
had sent some of my men around the
ends to hammer the machine gun
ners on the flank,' he told me, 'when
I saw the rest of my company get
ting ready to charge without orders.
I got out in front of them and drew
my revolver, and threatened to shoot
the first man who went that far.' "
All the Congressmen said the one
wish of every American soldier over
there is to get into the thick of the
fighting. The only complaint heard
from officers is that the Americans
are too enthusiastic.
Valor Cost Many Lives
The type of fighting that the Amer
icans have been doing has resulted
in heavy casualties, the Congressmen
admit, but they believe the heavy.toll
of lives has been warranted because
it has putnew heart and inspiration
into the troops of Italy, France and
England, who have been worn out
by four years of fighting. .
U-Boat Flies White Flag
"At one French port." said Mr.
Kincheloe, "we saw a German sub
marine with the white flag of sur
render flying from her bow. She was
tied up there, so an American naval
officer told me, because her crew had
been sent out by the German naval
authorities to get the Leviathan, the
converted German liner Vaterland.
The submarine was told not to conic
back until that former German ves
sel. which now carries 17,000 Ameri
can troops to France every trip, had
been sunk. The submarine after lying
In wait for the Leviathan, until the
supplies had been exhausted, ran up
the white flag apd surrendered to the
Allies.
"When we landed In Bordeau on
June 15, the American consul told
us that we would not get to Paris,
but a little later, we saw the Allies
driving the Germans back from north
of Chateau-Thierry. We saw hun
dreds of German prisoners pouring
south to the prison camps, while
thousands of American troops were
moving northward. We waited for
hours by the roadside while motor
trains poured by us with troops and
supplies.
"Vaux, the little village north of
Chateau-Thierry, which the Ameri
cans captured before the big Marne
counter oensive was launched, is
powdered into bug dust. We were
told how that successful assault hap
pened to be launched seven hours
ahead of schedule time.
"Colonel Brown, who is a Ken
tuckian. told me that the Americans
and French had arranged to begin
bombardment of Vqux ten hours
from the.time of the officers' confer
ence, when an American soldier shot
down a carrier pigeon, bearing the
German message, 'We are in dire
need of reserves immediately.' Col
onel Brown advised the French offi
cers that he could have his heavy
guns in place within three hours,
and the bohibardment started as
soon as they were ready.
"For three days and nights they
shot up that town, and when the
Americans finally entered it they
took 690 German prisoners with the
loss of only two American men. Be
fore that attack began the Americans
had learned just how many cellars
there were In the town and approxi
mately how many Germans there
were in each one.
"All of the German prisoners have
a button on the front of their uni
forms, which have the German
words 'God Is with us.' " Mr. Kinche
loe displayed a button cut from a
German uniform.
United States troops are not taking
prisoners machine gunners who are
left behind to tight off the allied
troops after the main body of Ger
mans have evacuated. Germans who
continue to operate the machine
guns until the American troops are
within ten or fifteen feet of them
before they throw up their hands
and shout. 'Kamerad,' are bayoneted,
according to statements made by
various, members of the Congres
sional party.
If they are willing to surrender
when they have been fairly licked,
the Americans will take them as
prisoners, but they will not show
them mercy if they have continued
to pour death into the Americans
after their German comrades have
retired and all hope of holding their
positions is lost.
It Is a confirmed fact, so the Con
gressmen reported, that Germans
now are chaining their machine gun
ners to the trees to make them stay
there and hold off the Americans un
til they are charged. "Recently," said
Mr. Kincheloe, we captured a Ger
man father, fifty-six years old, and
his son, fourteen years old, who had
been operating a machine gun. Three
German women In uniform were
killed in the fighting. Of course,
their sex was unknown at the time.
"When the Germans had driven
across the Marne and It was decided
to launch a counterattack, the Rain
bod Division, which was north of
Chateau Thierry, was brought down
to fight with the second division of
Marines which was holding the road
to Paris. Those fellows were rushed
down in boxcars and flat cars. They
jumped off the cars fighting. Their
spirit Is Indescribable. They are the
happiest boys in the world.
Ground Strewn Willi Gorman Dead
"The territory over which they
have fought is strewn with the
graves of German dead. When we
were north of Chateau Thierry dead
bodies of German soldiers, and dead
horses could lie seen all about. While
we were watching the artillery fight
ing from the heavy gun emplace
ments, five Bobhe airplanes came
over us and we were told f.o get out
of night uadnr MM* trees. Mamba
were dropped on a motor train near
by and three men were killed.
"Everywhere we went v'e asked
about the Liberty motor, and in
variably were told it was the great
est motor in the world. While In
London I met a Kentucky officer, and
he asked be If I wanted to tly over
the city. 'How long will it take?" I
asked, and he replied: 'Five min
utes,' I think I can spare the time,
I told him. He took me 3,500 feet
up and showed me first the speedo
meter that his plane which had a
Liberty motor had made 110 miles
an hour on that flight.
"The things that have been done
are amazing. At one French port we
have supplies enough stored to feed
a million men forty-flve days. Italy
is doing wonderful work. In the
Piave battle they killed 200.000 Aus
trians, and lost half that many them
selves. America's entry into the war
is heartening those people, too. The
tirst American troops sent to Italy
belonged to ambulance units. They
were kept aboard ship twelve hours
in order that the people of Genoa
might arrange demonstration for
them. When they paraded up the
street the Italians carried a banner
with the words: 'United States of
America—our last hope.' "
