IN HARRISBURG half
AN HOUR ON JULY 5TH
Especial to the star-1ndependent.)

Especial to the Star independently
Philadelphia, May 17.-Philadel-
phia, home of the Liberty Bell, to-day
recognized the claim of Harrisburg
for chance to view the famous old
relic on its way to the Pacific coast,
by including that city in the itinerary.
Twelve days will be consumed in the
trip to San Francisco wher the bell will
be placed on exhibition at the Panama
Pacific show.
The special train carrying the Liberty
Bell and the Philadelphia councilmen
who will accompany it, will pass
through Harrisburg on Monday, July
5, at $50 p. M, and stop of half an
hour will be made. By special arrange
ment with the Pennsylvania railroad
the ear carrying the relic will be side
tracked to a point easily accessible to
those who wish to inspect the symbol
of liberty.
In view of the countless pleas from
cities in all parts of the country that
stops be made so their citizens may see
the bell, the cities on the itinerary may
be considered favored. Councilmen
this afternoon finally made up the list
of towns, including Harrisburg, where
stops are to be made.

allies Advance NEARLY
A mile into GERMAN Line

London, May II, 1.5S P. M.-Field
Marshal Sir John French has broken
his silence in regard to the movements
of the British army northwest of La
Bassee with the announcement of an
advance of nearly mile into the Ger
man line. This, together with the con-
tinuance of the French thrusts both
north of Tyres and southwest of La
Bassee, constitutes the outstanding fea.
ture of the military situation to-day.
Military commentators here regard
the British advance as a genuine break
of the German line which, if main.
tanned, must mean a retreat for con.
siderable section of the invaders
forces.
Recapture of the bridge over the
User canal at Steenstraete by the
French deprives the Germans of their
last connection with the west side of
the waterway. German assaults on the
British position at Ypres seem to have
spent themselves, at least for the
moment, as Field Marshal French re-
ports all has been quiet there for the
