10 CAMPAIGN FOR WHEAT ACREAGE INCREASE OPENS Farmers Already Pledge 300 of 1.000 More Acres Desired The township committee appoint ed at a meeting of Dauphin county farmers in the Farm Bureau office Saturday morning began its work to day of enrolling the farmers in the campaign to increase the wheat acreage of the county by one thou sand acres. The increased acreage is the desire of the Federal Food Administration. Each township was assigned a quota of wheat to raise over its nor mal production. More than 300 of [ the one thousand acres were pledged at the meeting Saturday. In addi tion. means were discussed to in-; crease the yield of each acre. Committees of from one to three, representatives of each township i were appointed to go among the I farmers of the county and spread 1 the propaganda for wheat increase, j and to make a report on the amount j of wheat to be raised in order to \ meet the county's quota. Methods for increasing the wheat i yield were discussed. Better prepa-' ration of the land, better fertilizers, j more lime and more acid phosphates' were among the means discussed as I most likely to insure the best pos-1 sibie yield from the increased acre- ] age. To Boost Hog Raising In addition and also at the request ; of the food administration, the com-1 mittee will attempt to increase hog raising in the county. Three hun- i dred additional hogs next year as 1 asked by the federal food adminls- j trator. Increased economy in hog raising by the use of pastures, and the sow-j ing of rye this fall for early pastur age next spring, are the best means for increasing the hog output at the lowest cost, the farmers decided.

It also will effect the Flan ders sector to the north, from which the Germans are said to be retiring. Heavy rain is falling over the battle area, it is reported. This will tend to slow down the movement of troops. Relentlessly the British are push ing the Germans back to the Hin denbury line. Fresh enemy troops thrown into the desperate battles along the thirty-mile front have fail ed to stop the men of Field Marshal liaig's command. Bapaume ie surrounded on three sides and the fall of this strategic road center apparently is close at hand. Ou the north the British.nre reported to be near the Hindenbuig line at Bullecourt, the scene of san guinary combats in the spring of: 1917.

Unconfirmed re-1 I ports have been received in the | I American lines along the A'esle that; | the enemy is withdrawing north of: that river toward the Aisne. Enemy forces are putting up a i violent resistance against the Brit-' | ish but to no avail. Since tast Wed nesday they have been driven eas*-1 ' ward an advance of more than four 1 ' miles on the thirty-mile front. The j greatest allied gain has been sixj miles toward Bapaume. one of the | most important points in the sali-j ent. The British momentum appar ; ently increases in spite of the strong! ! efforts of the Germans to stay the! i oncoming rush of tanks, cavalry and ! infantry. More than 17.000 Ger man prisoners already have been I counted and the enemy losses in i I prisoners are said to he in excess ofj the British casualties. Unofficially the! number of prisoners is placed at | 2't.000. AVin High Ground Or. more of the front the British' i have pushed the Germans from the high grornd so necessary for de-j fense. Also the enemy has been. forced out of much of the "crater country" marking the old Somme ! battle field of 1916. This has open |ed up new opportunities for the; tanks and cavalry.

In speak - i ing at a last of a series of union church services held this'summer by I the Presbyterian. Church of God and ! Methodist churches, the Rev. Dr. I 1 George P. Mains, of Harrisburg. de . clared the Allies have a perfect right | ; to use drastic measures against Ger- j many. He used as an example the in- j i cident where Christ drove the money- i | changers out of the temple. He ex- ' i plained that in this way must Ger- : ; many be punished for her sins against the world. He said, however, that it is possible j for Germany to repent for her sins by restitution of affairs caused by her sins, jtist as sinners must repent be- i i fore God.

General B.vng's troops, however, now are in Avesnes, a suburb one half mile to the west, have reached Favreuil, two miles to the north, and are reported In Thilloy. one mile and a half 3ouih-southwest. The fall of Bray, whiob came after the capture of Albert, has enabled the British to press on eastward and they are re ported in Suzanne, two miles to the east, and at the edge ot fhe swamp country which lines the Somme to close to Peronne. May Take Hindenburg I.lite If the enemy has counted on gain ing the Hindenburg line and there finding secure positions from which to beat off allied attacks, his plans may be upset by the rapidity with which the British have progressed toward Bullecourt. Once inside the Hindenburg defenses around Bulle court, the British have a good path toward Cambrai. North from Soissons, past Noyon to Roye. the French are hammering the Germans with thetr artillery. Except on the vital sector north of Soissons the infantry has been in active. East of Bagneux General Mangia has captured 400 prisoners in a successful thrust eastward. It Is not improbable in view of the re ports of an enemy retirement north of the Vesle, that the Germans are holding here in order to protect the flank of the withdrawal movement between Soissons and Rheims. Clemenceau Optimistic Premier Clemenceau says the for tunes .if the war have been definitely decided owing to the victories of the last six weeks. Austro-Hungarlan soldiers have been taken prisoner by the Allies at two different points on the main battle line, but there are no indications that Austrian aid for the battered German divisions is in great force. Comparatively heavy fighting Is taking place in Albania. Vienna says Austrian troops have crossed the Semeni nee r the Adriatic and claims successes also in the center and on the en?mv left. Rome reports the repulse of Austrian attacks against advance posts along the Semeni. year was $210.87, as compared with I $1,505.48 on hand at the samt time last year. | Expenditures during the year total ed $16,060.87 and receipts amounted to but $14,766.26. Teachers in the school 1 were paid $6,642.25 for their services land an addition $177 was paid them I for attending the annual sessions of i the Perry County Teachers' Institute. l at New Bloomfield. Fuel, light and : power cost $827.52.

Sergeant "Bill" Brown Arrives Safely Overseas Sergeant "Bill" Brown, of Duncan non. formerly police reporter on the Harrlsburg Telegraph, has arrived overseas with the 535 th Engineers, according to word received by friends In this city late Saturday. Sergeant Brown, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Newton Brown, of Duncannon, is widely known In the PARTY TRUCE IN CONGRESS IS ABOUT TO END Open Criticism of Democratic War Program Is Expected Washington, Aug. 26.—The selec tion of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, as spokesman for the Republican party, by virtue of his selection as Republican leader in the Unitea- States Senate, has given tho progressive element in the present minority party a prominent place in the party councils. The first task to be undertaken by Senator Lodge will be solidification cf the party ranks for the 1920 cam paign m conjunction with Will H. Hays, the Republican national chair man. along the same lines followed by Mr. Hay 3 in uniting the various party factions throughout the coun try for the congressional campaign this year. Progressives in Congress believe that -Senator Lodge, who has long been close to Colonel Roosevelt, will not ignore the element in the Re publican party which they represent, as the "standpat" leadership of the party has done since the split of 1912. and they expect to have a full share of the work of organization and drafting the party principles for the future campaigns. Parry Stirred to Action The selection of Senator Lodge has galvanized the Republicans i:i Congress into action during the last few days on a sealq, they had not pre viously attempted since the United States entered the war and "politics was adjourned." Partisanship has been revived in the djscussions in the Senate and House of Representatives on all measures that are not absolutely es sential for the prosecution of the war. and even on the war measures, such as tho manpower bill, the Re publicans are taking advantage of whatever opportunities present them selves to hur! criticism at the Ad ministration whenever they believe they can make out a clear case. Senator Lodge's keynote speech, delivered to the Senate Friday, and President Wilson's active participa tion in congressional campaigns in nearly a dozen states, in spite of his declaration that "politics is adjourn ed." have injected partisanship into the program of Congress. The criticism directed at Secretary Raker during the debate on the man power bill in the Senate, for what Senator Penrose termed "evasion" of the necessity for enlarging the draft, and the shock given the organiza tion of Federal employes by Repre sentative Madden, of Illinois, in his efforts to amend the manpower bill so that civilian war workers would not be exempt from the draft, were forerunners of the Republican pro gram in Congress for the next few months. A hitter fight against the census bill, which would create jobs for 5.- 000 "deserving Democrats" through out the country, will be launched as one of the minor partisan moves. Will Demand High Tariff The Republican program includes a campaign for the adoption of a high tariff as one of the principal features of the economic reorgani zation that will follow the war, and a demand for a strict accounting of the expenditure of the billions of dollars appropriated by Congress in the last two years. The party leadership, too. will he purged of all taint of disloyalty and pacificism as speedily as possible. The first leader slated to go is Represen tative Frank P. Woods, of lowa, chairman of the Republican Con gressional Campaign Committee.

Thursday of last week he spoke before the Rotary Club at Lewis ton, Me. The Governor has been spending his summer vacation in Maine, motoring, fishing and speaking before various organizations.
