6 ""LLS HOW KEYSTONE TROOPS TOOK FISMES Without Airplane Support, Pennsylvania Men Swept For ward in Irreststible Waves; Best of Hun Army Unable to Stand Before Yankee Courage .Washington, Aug. 30.—While Phil adelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg nd Central Pennsylvania boys of the One Hundred and Eleventh and One Hundred and Twelfth regiments, si ent, grim-eyed and tense with pur pose, waited the signal to advance n Fismes v 5 o'clock in the aftor oon of August 11. four German air planes flew unconcernedly over their leads and raked the road for a mile r more with machine guns and pelted it with bombs. No American lirplane was there to combat the Boche. Plenty were in the training samps back from the front. This is the testimony of Repre sentative M. Clyde Kelly, of Brad lock, Pa., who, with Representative Caraway, of Arkansas, was there Mid took refuge with the boys in lugouts wihle antiaircraft and ma chine guns tried to beat oft the wasps and failed. Mr. Kelly further testifies that he neither saw nor heard of any Amer ican planes on the fighting front luring his visit in France with the party of congressmen who returned to this country Monday. "The Germans had complete as cendency in the air at the portion nf the American front we visited," Mr. Kelly said. "I didn't see an American fighting plane at the front. A half hour after this the Penn lylvanians advanced behind a bar rage. which was laid down at fifty yard intervals. "A short time before the advance commenced we stopped for a minute at a dugout, in the middle of the line, in which Colonel Shannon, of Columbia, was directing the at tack." the Congressman said. "He was busy with the orders which were coming from General Muir. of Penn sylvania, who is in command of the Twenty-eighth division of Pennsyl vania troops. We did not tarry long, but he gave us a brief message for the folks back home. 'Just tell the folks that the boys are magnificent,' he said. "At the medical unit's station I saw about fifty men treated for wounds in the arms and shoulders and hands. But during the entire time I was at the front with the Pennsylvania I didn't hear a moan. The boys all begged to be sent back to the front. One boy came up with his hand almost severed from his arm by a piece of shrapnel. " 'lt doesn't matter at all. Let me get back to the outfit,' the lad plead ed," Mr. Kelly said. Incidentally Mr. Kelly mentioned that from August 1 to August 10 more than 3,000 casualties were treat ed at the advance stations and "field hospitals of the Twenty-eighth di vision. and of these, only thirty six died. "The figures I obtained show that ninety-eight per cent of the wound ed recovered and eighty per cent of them are returned to the firing line," tVffSt J bSs CALLUSES Immediate Relief—2s cents GORGAS DRUG STORES i- | FALL OPENING | B MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, is the day upon 22 which the Fall Term, for both Day and Night ass School, will begin. 1 Standardized Courses 1 ■ H By enrolling here, you have the opportunity of mm taking standardized courses approved by the United States Bureau of Education—first-clacs teachers, gS3 r— — and good equipment. 1 Decide and Arrange Now 1 Owing to the great demand for young men and S&i women with business "training, there are many E ■ who will enter commercial schools this Fall, and G5 you will be assured of a place, if you arrange early.

"Large numbers of the Twenty eighth division were affected by the mustard gas which the Germans left in their retreat" he said. "But very few of these cases resulted seriously because of a treatment which has been developed. "Besides the mustard gas which was left in basements and other places there were at least four other practices the Germans used which showed that they are as cowardly and dastardly in retreat as in ad vance," the Congressman said. Some Tricks of Huns "Dugouts in the road were filled with perhaps fifty large shells, and covered over with boards. A precus sion cap was fixed so that contact was made by those advancing along the road and the shells exploded. One of these mines was discharged. .After that scouts were sent ahead to look for them. "Barbed wire was connected with mines which went off when the wire was moved. German helmets were left and arranged so tney set oft mines when they were picked up.

RAILROAD RUMBLES SHOPMEN WILL GET MONDAY OFF Freight Trains to Be Kept Moving; Expect Official Notice Today According to an unofficial an nouncement all railroad shopmen not needed on special war work will get Labor Day off. There will be no shut down in freight traffic. It is ex pected that N. W. Smith, general su perintendent of tile Eastern Division, will issue an order to-day. A dis patch from Altoona, says: "Motive power officials to-day is sued instructions to the heads of the various shop departments, advising them that us September 3 is a legal holiday, they are authorized to ex cuse all employes who wish to be off duty for the day. Operating and en gine house employes will be excused from service only so far as this may be done consistent with keeping traf fic moving. Order Differs "It will be observed that the order! differs somewhat from the customary i holiday closing orders. It does not I decree that the shops will be closed j down, although in effect it amounts 1 to the same thing. The order is is- f sued in this way in accordance with i the wishes of the Federal Railway ! Administration, for there are local- j ities where no formal celebrations; have been planned where it is pos- | sible that most of the men would pre fer to work and they will have the privilege of doing so. "Freight, traffic will not be closed down, for with the enormous volume of business growing out of the neces sities of the war, such a shutdown would cause a blockade and stagna tion. But where men can be excused without detriment to the service, it will be done. The same applies to the engine house employes whose work is necessary to keep traffic moving." To Operate Railroad Terminals as One Unit Atlantic City, N. J.. Aug. 30.—Broad Street Station, the Reading Terminal and all the other steam line stations and yards in Philadelphia will be constituted one operating unit, admin istered by a Federal terminal man ager, under the provision of rules for the unified operation of terminals, ap proved in part by the committee on wards and terminals of the American Railway Engineering Association at the Marlborough-Blenheim yesterday. The new move, designed to speed up war traffic, shorten hauls, increase the mileage rate for all kinds of freight rolling stock and affect large savings, has the sanction of the Unit ed State Railway Administration.

TRACKMEN Director General McAdoo Ex pects to Act Soon; Men Go Elsewhere Washington, Aug. SO. Higher wages for railroad track laborers and for certain classes of clerks were recommended to Director Oeneral McAdoo yesterday by the board of railroad wages and working condi tions. The advances suggested range between 15 to 25 per cent., it is said, and would afreet more than 300,000 employes. Mr. McAdoo will act soon on the recommendations. The board was asked to ascertain the aggregate amount represented by the proposals. This report will be pre sented within a few days. HallroadM Lose Men Pespite the recent general wage ad vance for railroad employes, recent reports indicate other industries pay ing higher wages for common labor have drawn thousands from track maintenance work on railroads, and the corps of workers has been seri ously depleted. Consequently wage increases are recommended as an emergency proposition. All classes of clerks are not expect ed to share in higher wages. A slid ing scale has been recommended, with greatest advances for employes who have served long hours for several years since railroad business began 'to grow in volume so rapidly, v Standing of the Crews HAIUUSBURG SIDE rblladelphla Division The 110 crew first to go aftter 4 o'clock: 120, 126. 103.

Charged with violating the Espionage Act by mak ing seditious remarks from the pulpit and in private conversation, the Rev. John Steilt. a Lutheran clergyman, known throughout New England, was arrested yesterday. He is alleged to have said from his j pulpit that the explosion at Halifax ! was "an act of God against the i enemies of Germany" and to have en- : tered into a personal attack on Mar- ] shal Joffre during the latter's visit! in this city. In private conversation Mr. Steik is alleged to have advised j young men contemplating enlisting to I enter the German Army and to have offered to help drafted men to escape | military service. He is also alleged ; to have said that the soldiers of the : United States would be 'like children 1 when they encounter the Germans." I 18 to 45 13 Million Americans, Attention! The victory which precedes peace can be ours next year declared General Peyton C. March, our Chief of Staff, testifying before the House Committee on Military Affairs that "eighty divisions of Americans should be able to bring the war to a successful conclusion in 1919." This is no chance guess of an optimistic conjecturer, says the Philadelphia Pub lic Ledger, but "the considered, sober, carefully tested, checked and rechecked judgment of our 'pooled' military opinion." It affirms that the "policy of putting our heaviest possible punch into next year's campaign is not only the wisest policy . . . but is possibly the only policy that will surelv win the war." The Newark News avers that we "intend to supply all the men necessary, no matter how many that may be" and decides that this number will be that "required to win a polit ical victory over a people whose concept of the world belongs to the age of the mammoth and saber-toothed tiger." What is now needed is quick action by Congress says the Brook lyn Eagle, as "the path to ultimate triumph is plain. We may tread it successfully only by making our military effort in the next six months correspond to the greatness of our resources in men and material." The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for August 31st provides an illuminating review of the reasons for increasing the draft ages and of the chances for bringing the war to a speedy conclu sion and quotes expert opinions as to the best means to be employed for insuring an overwhelming Allied victory.

American officers deny the German asser tion that 250 Americans were made prisoner in recent fighting along the Vesle, saying that only a few of their men are missing.

AUGUST 30, 1918 ONLY 6 AUTOLESS SUNDAYS IS HOPE, IF ALL MEN OBEY Cars Idle on Sabbath Will Ruild Up "Gas" Re serve Quickly Washington, Aug. 30.—General compliance with the fuel administra tion's request that automobile own ers east of the Mississippi forego the use of pleasure cars on Sunday to build up a gasoline reserve should bring gasolineless Sunday to an end within six weeks, officials said yes terday. They declined to say exactly what amount of gasoline it is desir ed to store up against possible breaks in the supply or demands from the fighting forces, but they did say that it was not so large but that it could be obtained within the period if the public does its part. Will Rely on PutriotUin "War needs must be first supplied," said Mark L. Requa, director of the oil division of the fuel administra tion. "By conserving through the nonuse of motor driven vehicles for a few Sundays and the exercise of care in the use of gasoline and oil during other days, there probably will be no necessity for more severe control. If this program is followed to the extent that the fuel adminis tration believes It will be, a few gun days will effect the desired conserva tion." It was denied to-day that the fuel administration has called upon the automobile clubs and police and other authorities to see that the re quest of the fuel administration is complied with by motorists next Sun day. Officials reiterated that for the present at least they will depend upon the patriotism of auto owners to refrain from using their cars for pleasure on Sunday and that no of ficial attempt will be made to check up on those who insist on driving on Sunday. That there will be a general un official checking up on "gasoline slackers." however, becomes increas ingly evident. Scores of telegrams have been re ceived from automobile clubs pledg ing co-operation. It is evident also that patriotic men who keep their cars in their garages will not view violation of the request by others with equanimity. Public opinion gen erally is expected to prove the most effective police agency. Giving tho Owners n Chance The suggestion that the police take the numbers of pleasure cars ap pearing next Sunday was not adopt ed by the fuel administration. Of ficials take the position that the au tomobile owners have a right to show their willingness to obey the wishes of the government. But the fuel administration has not abandoned its intention of exert ing all its power to compel gasoline Having if the present plan fails. If re sults are not shown, and very soon, an order forbidding the use of gaso line fpr pleasure on Sunday may be expected, and the fuel administration by the Lever Act will be brought into play. County administrators will be called upon to detect violators and see that their gasoline supply is stopped. Suggestions that, because Sunday Is the day upon which most owners get the best use of their machines another day be made gasolineless in stead. poured in on the fuel admin istration to-day. Officials declined to alter the plan already decided upon, even upon plaintive assertions from roadhouses that their Sunday busi ness would be ruined. Jitney drivers and bus lines are not taking kindly to the request, it is evident, but it seems there will be no modification of the regulation.
