CIVILIANS JOIN ALLIES IN MARCH AGAINST GHENT Queen of Belgium Watches Battle For Possession of Famous City With the Allied Armlca In France nnl RotKhim, Nov. 4. (Delayed).—Al lied troops to-day began the siege of the city of Ghent, already surrounded virtually on three sides. The assault on the city was witnessed by Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, and hundreds of her noncombatant subjects. Belgian, French and American sol diers this afternoon had pushed up to the eastern outskirts of the be leaguered city with comparatively light resistance from the enemy, who apparently had evacuated the place. As the Allied troops advanced on the city, the setting was a most dramatic one. Civilians mingled with the soldiers at many points and as the infantry moved forward, pleasure boats moved hither arfd thither along the winding canals on the western edge carrying civilians who had col lected to see the restoration of their beloved city. Within the little white cottages along the banks of the canal were German machine gunners whose weapons dominated the waterways und the roads. For some reason most of the guns were silent. Overhead Belgian air planes swirled ancl dove like great birds, but there was no challenge from the German untiaircraft guns. Into this scene of mimic warfare came the Queen of Belgium who mo tored to within two and one-half miles of the city. City Little Damaged War has little damaged the coun tryside about Ghent. Yesterday the German guns threw shells into ham lets near the front, but this section of Belgium shows little signs of de vastation. • Whether the Germans actually have withdrawn from Ghent or in tend to hold on a little longer was not clearly apparent to-day. However it seemed only a matter of time he fore Belgian troops would be match ing through the city, whose streets have rung to the tramp of German soldiery for four years.

NEWMARK&COWN COS L oad Street WEDNESDA V EVENING, HARRISBURG MEN HELP BUILD BIG U.S. ARMY DEPOT | Major Gray Is Chief Construc tion Engineer at Dela ware Plant The remarkable manner in which : the Government has been speeding ! up the building of its bombing plant ;at Rockwell Park, Delaware, since ! the work of construction was taken | over by Mujor William B. Gray and \ staff in September, and the stupen | do us size of this work was revealed I to-day in an interview with Welling | ton G. Jones, of this city, and now | chief clerk of the police and Are de -1 partments of the Rockwell Park i plant. The new bomb loading plant, for which an authorized expenditure of $0,000,000 has been made, is located on the Delaware river twenty-two inilcs south of Wilmington and near the Delawaro Breakwater; iifteen square miles have been taken over; all temporary buildings have been completed and construction is being pushed on the permanent buildings. A large dyke and pier for loading and unloading have also been con structed, and fully two thousand per sons are now employed at the plant. Major Gray, the constructing quartermaster at the recently-com pleted Middletown Ordnance Plant, has nearly his entire staff with him on this work which ho had on the Middletown project. Among these are a great number of Harrlsburgers. Although the Rockwell Park plant was to have been completed by the first of the year, the undertaking has been on such a grand scale that it is now considered impossible to fin ish the work by that time. Foetl 2,000 at One Time Among the things that have been done and that are yet to be done at Rockwell Park are a number of in teresting projects which 'will make tor the comfort of employes. At present the comissary department is able to feed 2,000 persons at one time. There are dormitories for clerks and office people. These con tain shower baths and recreation rooms. A new dormitory is under construction for girls and is expect ed to be completed in the near fu ture. In addition to the original tract taken over at Rockwell Park, the Government has purchase Augus tine Beach entire, a one-time famous summer resort, located about a mile and a half front the bomb-loading plant. Here bath-houses have been erected for the pleasure of employes, and present facilities will furnish ac commodations for the housing of 200 or more clerks. But this is not all! Five miles from the camp the Housing Com mission has had the Charles R. Ward Engineering Company, of Washington, constructing houses, which, when all are completed, will accommodate fully seven thousand people. The Government has taken over all roads in Delaware and is making improvements on these that lite work at the new bombing plant may be speeded up to the full extent. Five Railway Dines Five railroad lines arc now run ning into the camp, connecting with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio systems. Besides this, the Government has purchased Augus barge for transporting matrials and supplies, which plies between the camp and Philadelphia und Wil mington. Major Gray has nearly his entire staff with him which he had at Mid dletown, including one hundred po lice and seventy-live firemen, mostly llarrisburgers. Prominent among these is C. A. Garvericli, former fire chief in 'this city. Wellington G. Jones, another llarrisburger, and formerly sporting editor of the Tele graph, is chief clerk of the fire de partment. There are three tirehouses at the plant and the police depart ment lias commodious •I'nrUrs, all in charge of Mr. Jones. Among the weU-kndwn Harris burgers on Major Gray's staff are the following: Captain Harrie A. Douglas, assistant quartermaster; Captain George Dunham, who has charge of concrete, brick and cement work; Captain Louis E. Moore, in charge of property; Captain Ellwood Avery, in charge of water supply and sanitation, and Lieutenant J. E. Guciber, now residing at Wilming ton. The work on the Rockwell Park plant was begun in August, 1918, Major Gray and his staff taking charge in September. Owing to changed conditiohs in the war situ ation, the Government may make some changes in their plans for the plant, it is said. After cessation of hostilities, the buildings would bo used for Government storehouses. Bernstorff Called to Berlin to Advise on America II ,g; ■ I*®!?
