12 GERMANS FIRE IN EFFORT TO HIDE FAILURE American Flyers Pursue Un- i daunted Course in War on Champagne Front . With the American Army on the Champagne Front, Oct. 4.—Activl- ' ties on the American sector yester- • day were confined to artillery work by the enemy and minor move ments by the Americans. But the j line hasnot changed except here and j there where slight corrections have j been made. The artillery fire was directed tor j a time yesterday from points across POLITICAL j Congressman Focht Suggests Leiby Should Enlist Washington, D. C., September 30, 1918. When Congressman Benjamin K. Focht was shown Senator Scott Leiby's statement as published in Democratic Boss Vance Mc- Cormick's * Harrisburg NEWS of the 27th, and his Harrisburg PATRIOT of the 28th, the Congressman was loth to discuss it until after the Liberty Loan campaign, but yielded from his purpose to the extent of making the following observations: "I cannot conceive that the distinguished State Senator would undertake to prosecute a campaign of any such hypothesis, unless he believes, as do most of the southern Demo crats who are in the saddle here, that the only patriots anywhere are Democrats, and the only fit Congressmen are 'rubber stamp' legis lators. Mr. Leiby's announcement is some what on the order of the old-time newspaper blackguardism which invariably brought par ticipants well-deserved defeat. It is the type of campaigning characteristic of the Demo cratic papers published in the Seventeenth District by Government office holders, which is usually too absurd to seriously countenance. That Mr. Leiby made these statements would be beyond belief but for the recollection of the cruel exaggeration and misrepresentation of the public record of that fine old gentleman and Civil War veteran, Senator Martin, which secured Leiby's election by a fluke in 1916. Thus it seems to come easy for Mr. Leiby to refer to me in his announcement as possessed of 'MEAN PARTISANSHIP AND NAR ROWNESS OF SOUL; "Since the day war was declared I have been overwhelmed with work, looking after the interests of the boys going to and at the front, and their good folks at home, and at this time have nothing further to say other than that Leiby comes rather late with his warcry, inas much as the war is nearing its end. Never theless, there is still an opportunity for him under the new draft law. I VOTED FOR WAR AFTER DIPLOMACY HAD FAILED AND SINCE THEN HAVE VOT ED FOR EVERY BILL GIVING ALL POWER AND MONEY REQUIRED OR ASKED FOR BY THE GOVERNMENT TO SUCCESSFULLY PROSECUTE THE WAR. AMONG THESE MANY BILLS WAS ONE PROVIDING SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLIONS FOR AERO PLANES! Now, if this war is not going fast enough and is not bloody enough for Mr. Leiby, he should enlist and at once go to France and show Marshal Foch how to do it. "It will be remembered how the late la mented and beloved Colonel Thomas J. Stew art enjoyed telling from the stump that he should have entered the Civil War at its begin ning, for then it would soon have been over. The strife ended three days after the Colonel joined his regiment. Here is a suggestion for Leiby, and its adoption would prove some thing more worthy than his false intimations intended to discredit me. "Since I am well known from one end of the Seventeenth District to the other, I am not concerned about the 'hand-picked' candi date's undignified method of seeking a seat in Congress. The people in £very township know where I have stood on all questions before the war, they know where I stand at this time, and they know where I will stand during the great reconstruction period after the war when the interests of the soldier, the manu facturer, the farmer and the salaried men and women and the laborer are at stake. "I must be excused from saying anything further at this time, for I deem it the duty of all Americans to help make the Fourth Liberty Bond Issue a smashing success rather than engage in political controversy." FRIDAY EVENltffc the river, and later from other points. The shifting points of origin of the fire for the past three days gives rise to the theory that the German bombardment might be for the purpose of creating the lm | pression that they possess a greater j amount of artillery than they really i have, it being suggested that the guns are moved quickly to new po ' sitlons after having been employed : against certain targets. I The bombardment over the cen tral lines was very heavy for short i periods, but with surprisingly slight ! effect. | American aerial supremacy con i tinues to be maintained with as i tonishing ease. Another enemy ma ' chine has been brought down by antiaircraft guns south of Mont ; faucon. German planes during the night I bombed the cross roads in the back j areas, and the artillery action was I supplemented by the use of phos -1 gene and mustard gas.

Harrisburg is the first city in the state to have a complete and special ly designed open air school. The struc ture was built at a cost of more than $36,000, and will replace two old buildings which had been used for that purpose for a number of years. The present one was erected over specially prepared plans by C. How ard Lloyd, architect. The building is a one-story struc ture. eliminating any stair-climbing, and has four class rooms, each accom modating forty pupils. Movable desks have been installed so that they can be placed along the wall and the rooms used whenever needed for physical exercises. A feature of the building is a large sun parlor, with many windows on the east, south and west sides, so that there will be sun light in the'rooms during the entire day. Eighty steamer chairs are plac ed in the room, so that one-half of the classes can resj while the others are in class rooms. The windows open on an uncovered porch and ,a. terrace, so that in fair weather the youngsters can be out in the open much of the time. New walks have been laid and plenty of playground space is provided. A diningroom, accommodating eighty pupils, has been built also, and adjoining it is a small kitchen in which food for the , boys and girls can be prepared. At present there are ninety-four boys and girls attending the school, so | that it is filled to slightly more than ' half its capacity. The teachers are. Miss Marian Wlllams, principal; Miss Adelaide Keys and Miss Claudine Mel ville. The committee of arrangements for ; the dedication included: Dr. C. E. I* ! Keen. Cameron L. Baer. George A. | Werner and W. Frank Witman. Mrs. Charles W. Burtnett Will Lead in Linen Shower in City For Red Cross Mrs. Charles W.

Federal Board to Fix Prices For Clothing Washington, Oct. 4.—Prices and distribution of practically all articles of wearing apparel are to be con trolled by the War Industries Board. Regulations issued prescrib-j ing certain lixed prices for shoes j constituted only the first step in a general policy for price control of clothing. This was disclosed yesterday by Chairman Baruch of the board in an address at a special meeting of the National Retail Dry Goods As sociation. Referring to the agree ment between the board and the shoe industry, Mr. Baruch said: "After that will have to come the regulation and distribution of most all of the things which you gentle men have to deal with. X don't want you to say it can't be done, because it must be done. It is unthinkable that only the man with the longest ] pocketbook can get the things that he needs. | "When it comes -to the question of ! a fair price that is very difficult to (answer. 1 should say roughly that a I fair price is a price something like (the normal profits in normal times." I Though no details of the plan to |be followed in controlling clothing prices has been announced, it is be lieved that standard prices for (standard grades of men's and wom en's suits, hats and other articles of jelothing probably will be established.
