HUN ENDANGERED
BY FOCH'S BLOWS
[Continued front First Pago.]
ever, have defeated all enemy at
tacks.
\Hunding Line Is
Outflanked by Allies
There are severdl situations along
the front, however, which render it
possible and even probable, that
Marshal Foch will seriously inter
fere with the orderly retirement of
the enemy forces. It seems certain
that the Hunding line has been out
flanked in Belgium, where the
Scheldt river has been crossed, and
east of Le Cateau, wjiere the Brit
ish and Americans appear to have
fought their way through all ob
structions. This line, therefore, may
!be rendered untenable for the Ger
j mans, who may be forced to fall
back to the line of the Meuse before
| attempting to srtand at bay.
German Retreat in Peril
of Being Disorganized
In the meantime attacks by the
Allies in Belgium, east of the Selle
[river and in the Oise region threaten
to disorganize the Germaji retreat,
lr. Belgium the French and British
are boring into the enemy's posi
tions so swiftly that they may com
pletely outflank the German forces
still holding the line southwest.
Belgian troops advancing toward
Ghent are systematically clearing
the country from the Dutch frontier
to Eecloo, on the Lys-Zeebrugge
canal. The French are within seven
miles of Ghent, while the British
have reached the Scheldt, near Tour
i naf.
Abandonment of
Valenciennes Near
British troops are within two
miles of Valenciennes and the Ger
mans are expected to abandon that
city very quickly. Farther south,
the railroad running from Valen
ciennes into the Ardennes region is
in peril and only increased resistance
will prevent the British and Amer
icans from cutting It. In the Serre-
Oise sector, the French have made
a material progress at various points.
Enemy Resists Allies
in Argonne Region
In the Champagne .region, Gen
eral Berthelot and General Gouraud
were unable to advance yesterday,
nor were the Ameicans in the Ar
goqrie able to shake the defenses of
the Germans, although Rappe woods
and hill 299 were taken from the
enemy by a sharp attack
French patrols have reached the
Danube river at Vidin. This town
is on the southern bank of the river
and the arrival of Allied troops there
establishes contact with , Puimania
from the south. It threatens Aus
tria from the southeast, if suffi
ciently heavy infantry forces are able
to reach that region at once. '
Berlin Claim of New •
Government Set Aside
i Newspaper comment on the Ger
! man reply to President Wilson's lat
; est note seems to reflect sentiment
opposed to serious consideration of
| the claims made by the new govern
ment at Berlin. Comment in Eng
lish journals appears to show that
ithe same view is entertained in Eon
don.
30,000 Women Give •
Hair For Rope in
Buddhist Temple
"A mighty witness to the live re
ligiosity of rural Japan exists at
Kyoto", says Joseph i. C. Clarke in
Japan at First Hand'. "The Higashi
Hongwanji temple has been built
within twenty years. It .was known
that ropes of the very greatest
strength were needed to lift and
hoist the great columns and roof
tree timbers into place, and some
zealot proposed that it be of human
hair, which makes the strongest
rope of all. jThe response was en
thusiatic, and 30,000 women of a
single province sacriflced their beau
tiful long dark tresses to the needs
of the great Buddhist shrine.
"The rope that performed its task
without a break is shown on the
temple grounds today. It is closely
woven, two hundred and twenty-one
feet long, thirteen inches in circum
ference. and over four inches in dia
meter*. One touched its lustrous
coils with reverence; it meant so
much sacrifice: so many wishes from
the deeps of v the human heart went
with it. You can see the woman
kneeling before the family Buddhist
shrine, the shining length of her
dark locks lifted in both hands and
on her lips a prayer. '(J Eternal
Buddha, in thine enlightenment wilt
thou not see for me. and find for
me the way'of heart's desire!' And
30.000 such women, so praying in
one province; think of it!"

PAXTON CHEMICAL
TRUCK WAITS FOR
WRANGLE TO END
Commissioner Gross Allows
Long-Delayed Apparatus to
Remain at Conshohocken
Because of a disagreement be
tween a Harrisburg auto concern and
the company which received the con
tract'to equip and paint the new mo
tor chemical truck for the Paxtpn
Fire Company, that piece of appara
tus which should have been deliv
ered in the city ready for service
early in the summer is still in a
manufacturing plant at Conshohoc
ken* and it will be several weeks at
least before it could be used even
if it wera sent to Harrisburg at
once.
Commissioner Knows Conditions
These facts which have been
known in city otllciul circles for
sometime, particularly by Commis
sioner E. Z. Gross, superintendent of
i he fire department, have brought no
definite action, even though the con
tract time for the completion of the
new apparatus has long since ex
pired.
Commissioner Gross to-diy ex
plained that he did uit want to be
"unreasonable" in compelling the
delivery of the truck and has given
time extensions hoping for a settle
ment between the local representa
tive and the Hall Manufacturing
Company. This firm contends it can
not finish the .truck which oniy must
be painted and parts nickel plated
before it can be used, because of
government work. The question of
how much should be allowed the
Harrisburg auto firm for the paint
ing, which-has been under discussion
for weeks, is the only thing ho.ding
up the delivery of the apparatus.
Did Not Insist on Delivery
Contmissoner Gross admtted he
had not insisted on the delivery of
the truck at once, although it should
have been finished months ago. Oth
er officials declared Harrisburg has
no interest in the question of pay
ment of the painting, and that the
contract terms, if enforced, would
have at least resulted in the deliv
ery of the truck, and the settlement
between the two private corporations
at a later date.
• Instead, rather than compel these
firms to deliver the appartus and ad
just the paint-cost grievance at their
liesure without depriving the city of
the chemical wagon. Com miss oner
(Jross preferred to sit by. Jet the two
private concerns write letters and
debate cost of paint and nickel plat
ing at length, while. Harrisburg is
still waiting Tor thj? apparatus, or
dered early in the year, promised
not later than July 4. which date
was after the contract time had ex- i
pired. and with no immediate pros
pects of getting the truck here.
No Move to Compel Delivery
Despite frequent assurances that a
settlement was in sight and Harris
burg would at last get the truck, the i
machine is still at Conshohocken, [
unpainted and from present indica
tions will remain there until Com
missioner Grosss notifies the firms to '
get it here and settle their differences
between thmselves.
Fun Is Feature of the
American Hospitals
With .tlie .American Army .in
France, —The laugh and the joke
and the prank are not absent from
the American military hospitals.
There is suffering, of course, in these
great, splendidly equipped institu
tions. but even the sharpnel-loaded
citizen-soldier has his
fun. One surgeon tells this stgry:
When the lines of strecher cases
were being brought into his hospital
the surgeon stood in the reception
ward taking quick examinations. One
sfrecher was wrought silently in, the
form of a soldier lying rigid under
blankets drawn over the head. This
is the sad sign of one who needs no
more help. They motioned the bear- i
ers to set it aside in a corner and
when the last wounded man had '
been looked shrgeon re
verently lifted the blanket from the
face. The "dead" man sat up sud
denly with a loud "Boo:" Then/the
V case" laughed, lay down and again
drew the blanket ovgr his face.
They let him play his Joke on others
