GERMANS MAKE ATTACKS

Following up their successes near

where they have have driven close to
third line of German defense on the
Albert Plateau the British now have
carried out new thrust forward north
of Ovillers, making substantial prog
ress along a front of more than half
mile.
The British drive was launched near
the left flank of the line active in the
present offensive, southeast of Thfep-
val, and if followed up seems likely to
threaten seriously the strongly held
German position at Pozieres to the
east.
Counter Attacks Partially Successful
The expected counter attacks of the
recently won by the allies in the
Somme offensive have materialized on
the front occupied by the French
south of the Somme.

the preservation of order during the
strike Those who attended the con-
ference were Hugh L. Mclaughlin,
representing the strikers Sheriff w
w. Caldwell, Chief of Police Thomas
Zeil, Frank B. Musser, president of the
Harrisburg Railways Company, and
Arthur H. Hull, attorney for the sher-
iff.
Nothing definite was done, but it
was brought out that the traction
company, under State law, may hire
officers to protect its own property and
that State Police may not be called un-
til the sheriff decides that he cannot
maintain order without them
On the part of all those who par
icipated, there was an evident desire
to do everything that would insure
public safety and provide for the pro-
lection of property. Mclaughlin said
that the strikers would not tolerate
disorder in their ranks and frowned
upon anything that had the appear
ance of iaw-breaking.
Strikers Preserve Order
Many citizens who have no interest
whatever in the dispute save as it
affects their convenience were mani
testify pleased to-day with the appar-
ent desire of most of the trolleymen
to avoid disorder and destruction of
property. This feeling is quite wide
spread and so long as the men main
tain this attitude it is believed they
will have the increasing sympathy of
the public, which is demanding a set
tlement through arbitration or other
wise.
Union Gains Members
To-day, according to union leaders,
the strike situation remains un-
changed. The men are sure of win
ming. they say and claim that not one
man who has joined the union will
leave. Yesterday, according to revised
figures issued by John J. Thorpe. vice
president of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Railways
Employees. fourteen new members were
received, and three who had left the
union returned, he declared
More applications have been re-
ceived, he said. and at the mass meet
ing this afternoon at 2 o'clock the sit
uation was again discussed at length.
Extra Men Ride Cars
On number of the cars this morn
ing at least two men were riding. and
reports instantly spread in the down
town section that they were special
officers Mr.. Davis said. however, that
only passengers had ridden on the
cars.
The strikers this morning were quiet
and gathered in little groups in the
streets of the business section, discuss
ing the events of the night and the
big parade, which, they claim, was the
largest union demonstration ever held
in the city in recent years.

Under the burden of his great domestic
sorrow he was stupid and slow in his
performance, and in order to stir him up
his companion on the stage hit him a

The combination ofhis sentimental troub-

down over his whitened face the aspect
