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.

over a wide section might be forced. 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. The enemy has been driven
from the high ground between the
Ancre and the Somme and the Brit
ish are moving eastward toward Pe
i ronne.
French Press On
French pressure continues all
along thy southern wing to Soissons.
| Between the Oise and the Aisne.;
j General Mangin is pressing steadily:
| toward the western extremity of thej
; Chemin des Dames. 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 prisoners are said to he in excess ofj
the British casualties. Unofficially the!
number of prisoners is placed at

AVin High Ground
Or. more of the front the British'
i have pushed the Germans from the
high grornd so necessary for de-j

Drastic Measures Against
Germany Are Justifiable
Tamp Hill, Pa.. Aug. 26. 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.

SCHOOL EXPENSES INCREASE
Morysvtlle. Pa.. Aug. 26. It cost
1 Marysville approximately $1,300 more
jto conduct its schools during the [
fiscal year ending June 30. than was ;
received from all sources during the
same period, the financial report, just i
out of the auditors' hands shows. The i
balance on hand on June 30 of this
tions and strategic centers behind the
German lines.
The Germans held on to Bapaunie
throughout Sunday in heavy fight
ing. 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.

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.
Governor Brumbaugh
Speaks Twice in Maine
Governor Brumbaugh delivered an
address Saturday at the opening of

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.
