Peary to-day. "When the Militia
was formed, company commanders
■Were given to understand that mem
bership In tho Militia would be no
bar to tho draft and warned about
getting men who would be within
the draft.
"A cortaln number of men from
eighteen to twenty and a half were
'taken so that they could get tho
training, but tho units largely
made up of men who had been in
federal service and had been dis
charged for some slight disability or

many former Guardsmen who have
dependants, but who are eager to
keep up their military training."
Treasury Balances. Pennsylva
nia's Slato Treasury at the close of
August business contained $9,002,-
021.86, against $9,429,616.50 at the
end of July and $10,612,148.27 at
the time the June books closed.
During August the receipts at tho
Treasury were $2,869,314.92, but the
expenditures were $3,296,899,56.
The balance in tho general fund at
the end of August was stated to bo
$6,732,373.43, while tho motor fund
contained $905,261.95.
Water Companies in It.—Com
plaints in which no loss than seven
water companies figure as defend
ants were among tho list scheduled
for hearings by tho Public Service
Commission in this city on four days
next week, Knston will also have
hearings on Friday. In addition,
Lancaster county turnpike, Allen
town and Harrlsburg steam heat.
Meehanicsburg gas and Schuylkill
county electric rates figure as bases
of complaints. Practically every
complaint is over an advance in
prices.
White Ash Wanted. Commis
sioner of Forestry Robert S. Conk
lin to-day issued a call to owners of
white ash timber in Pennsylvania to
sell it to Vncle Sam. offering to
place the Quartermaster General's
Department in touch with those who
have the wood. "Picks and shov
els used by our boys In Franco are
all fitted with white ash handles and
the supply of white ash has been
so depleted that the further manu
facture of shovels is practically at a
standstill until wood can be sup
plied." said Mr. Conklln. "The
Quartermaster General has asked
me to help find enough to keep a
shovel factory in Ohio engaged on
Government work from having to
shut down."
So many of the State's foresters
have enlisted that it is Impossible to
make a canvass of the State forests
and the only alternative, say men
at the department, is to appeal to
lumbermen and farmers who have
white ash stumpage or who have
small stocks of manufactured ash.
The situation, says the Commission
er, i 3 similar to that caused by t-he
scarcity of black walnut for gun
stocks.

BATTLEFIELD VAST
PANORAMA OF FIRE
[Cotitlhiipd from First Pag**.]
direct bursts Were observed and en
emy planes followed the invading
Americans baek to their lines but did
not attack them.
At noon American airmen dropped
bombs on the railway yards at
Longuyon scoring several direct hits.
Late In the afternoon Conflans was
again raided but poor visibility made
It difficult to ascertain whether the
bombing was effective. Enemy anti
aircraft guns were active against
the American raiders In all three of
the day's excursions, All four ma
chines returned,
One lone American aviator attack
ed a" German who was diving at a
French balloon. Despite the fact that
there were six Germans above him'',
the American forced the German ma- j
chine Into a noes dive. The six othei |
Germans then attacked the American
and forced him to descend. He land
ed behind the American lines unin
jured.
Americans Take Part
in Desperate Battling
With tiio American Army in,
France. Aug. 30.—The record of an
American air unit, comprising "5
pilots, shows that during July it shot
down 28 enemy airplanes and one
balloon. Eighteen other planes are
claimed to have been brought down
but these are not confirmed. The
American airmen engaged in 144
combats and went on 131 cambat
patrols.
The unit's best days were July 16,
when six enemy machines and one
balloon were destroyed, and July 24,
when five airplanes were destroyed
without an American casualty.
Austrian Morale Bad
An Austrian taken prisoner oh the
western front says the morale of the
Austrian army now is so bad that
German troops habitually are placed
behind them with orders to shoot
any men who endeavor to desert.
While the French troops on the
right and left of the Americans on
the front north of Soissons struggled
forward to-day, the Americans sent
thousands of rounds of high explo
sive shells and shrapnel into the Ger
man positions. They made little ef
fort to advance their line.
Late this afternoon some progress
was made by the Americans in the
region of Juvigny.
Although thq day was not marked
by any spectacular advance, there
was far from a lull in the activities
on the American front.
Germans Fight Well
Since the Americans appeared on
Wednesday the Germans have dis
played stubbornness and skill. They
have good positions and are defend
ing them in a manner which would
suggest that they might even attempt
a serious counterattack.' The posi
tions of the Americans are perhaps
not so good,-and the contest seema
to have narrowed down to one of
camparative merits of officers and
men of the two organizations.
Before the day was over the Ger
mans had begun to show signs of
weakening and observers reported
troop movements which appeared to
indicate a regrouping and perhaps
retirement.
The orders to the Americans were
to maintain a harassing lire through
out the day, and even the minor at
tack of one flank was decided upon
only after the advance made by the
French indicated its advisability.
Yankees Dig In
Over the field the American in
fantry remained in the positions they
had held last night. Dug in behind
almost every little rise on the plateau
and on the hillside, they awaited the
order to attack. Closer to the Ger
man positions scores of shell holes
sheltered the men from the sweeping
machine gun fire, while further to
the rear there were companies wait
ing to be called to their support.
The artillery went into the action
early in the morning, not in barrage,
but firing first at one point in the
German lines and then at another, in
accordance with reports indicating
places where the Germans were
mobilizing or where there might be
danger of a concentration. Rarely, if
ever, have the American troops de
livered over such a period so con
tinuous a fire. It was of a punishing
character that must have wrought
terrible destruction, and probably
much demoralization.
Lines Close Together
The lines are close together, and
great Shells from the howitzers were
mixed With those of the lighter char
acter, while the big long range
American guns sent far in the rear of
the enemy lines shells to places in
dicated by observers in the aerial
service. *
The American infantry between
the lines was forced to become a part
of the action to-day by the de
termined Germans, whose long line
of machine gun emplacements was
supplemented by groups of infantry
who fired at every appearance of the
Americans. It svas a day of sniping
for them, especially the machine
gunners. One gunner had the trick
of holding the trigger until Just three
shots were fired. All day long his gun
gave forts its "tat, tat, tat," every
burst being followed by a slight
change in direction.
Wounded in Legs
A large part of those caught in the
ground-sweeping fire were wounded
in the legs below the knees.
The Germans in front of the Amer
icans at times were subjected not
only to the fire of the American guns
but to a supplemental raking from
the French. It has been impossible
to ascertain the German casualties,
but it is certain that they were
heavy.
The big gunfire reached the maxi
mum of Intensity. The roar of the
artillery rose in a great crescendo.
The Americans used no gas shells.
The Germans did, however, but in
slightly smaller quantities than
usual.
TJ. S. Patrols Active
American patrols are active &ach
night keeping in contact with the
enemy along the Vesle. The Ameri
can officers continue to believe that
the Germans will soon be compelled
to withdraw at least as far as the
Aisne, owing to the constant pres
sure on the French and British
fronts. The Americans are determin
ed to be stepping on the hceld* of the
Germans when they begin their re
treat, which, the officers say "is com
ing sooner or later."
