Company Very Busy

The big plant of the Harrisburg
Pipe & Pipe Bending Company is now
a busy place. Orders are already in
hand which assure a busy summer
and the force or employees is being
gradually increased. While the prices
of steel products are still low the pros

ness and demand for the company's
products the prices will go up.
Large orders have beer received for
gas cylinders and for the steel prod
ucts of the company. The open hearth
plant is now running full. Owing to
the expansion of the firms domestic
business a considerable enlargement
of the plant is now under way, in
Guiding new forge and shop finishing
departments. This expansion follows

BELGIANS ARE AGAIN
HAVING SOME c c
CONTINUED from First Page.l

Although local successes have been
won on both sides. the main issue
which is awaited with unconceaIed
concern, probably will not be decided
for some time.
The Russians admit a further re-
treat I'm Galicia, although denying
Austrian N German reports of a
complete rout. British correspond
ents in Petrograd minimize the i'm
p%ortance of the Austro-G German VIC
tory, intimating tina Russian strategy
may have been responsible in part for
the rapid advance of the Teutonic
forces.
Reports from all sources indicate
that the loss of life in the fight on Gal
lipolf peninsula has been severe. Brit
ish accounts indicate that the allies
have paid a heavy price for establish
ing positions on the land. A dispatch
from Athens says that losses of. the
Turks have been so great that fresh
troops are to be brought in from Smy-
rna.
The course of italy Is still undecided.
Pope Benedict is said to have almost
given up hope that Italy will remain at
peace. Austria's final counter pro-
posals r expected shortly but little
hope apparently is entertained that
they will satisfy Italy.
