Claiming that the majority of the

commissioners were asked to vote in
favor of the reconsideration so that
all citizens in the territory can give
their opinion now on coming into the

Two Trains of Aviators
Among Eleven Sections of
Troops to Pass Through

Troop movement last night and
to-day broke all records. From Z
o'clock last night up to noon to-day,
eleven trains passed over the Penn
sylvania railroad. The movement to-
day included 1000 aviators from.
Texas. They occupied two trains.
A stop of one hour was made here
to allow the soldiers to timber up.
They were taken on a hike through
the business section and were drill
ed on the plaza at the Pennsylvania
railroad station. The soldiers at
tracted much. attention. When the
trains moved out of the stations
whistles were blown and the aviators
loudly cheered.
Whistles kept almost a continuous
blast last. night. Every troop train
was given an enthusiastic welcome.
The soldiers represented artillery
men from Fort Sheridan, ILL.,; in
fantrymen from Fort Sill, Okla, and
engineers, infantrymen and artillery
men from California. During the lay
over here the band with the illinois
artillery played a number of selec-
tions.
OIner NiSltorS 10 harrisburg repre-
sented the United States ambulance
service. They were mostly California
and Iowa soldiers and came in forty
eight ambulance cars from Allen
town. The train is en- route to Get
tysburg for a two-day stay and will
return over another route. There
were five men to each car. A stop
of one hour was made in this city,
the Ambulance Corps lining up in
Front street. Last night they stopped
at Hershey.

ALL BUT TWO
EXEMPTION PLEAS
ARE SENT BACK
Appeal Board Unable to Act
Because of Errors; Farm
ers Want Men Excused

The troubles of the district appeal
board of the Second Judicial District
were greatly increased this morning.
Fifty claims for exemption on agri-
cultural grounds from Cumberland
county were acted upon and out of
this number forty-eight were sent
back to the local boards for further
information.
The two other claims were refused
and the result of the mornings work
of the board amounted to nil This is
record and unless things take a de-
cided brace it will be some time be-
fore the board will complete its
work. The farmers" of Cum mberland
county have suddenly found out that
they are unable to continue the work
THAT they have been doing for some
time, alone. This fact was brought
to light by the claims examined.
Nearly everyone claimed exemption
for son, or hired man on the
grounds that he was a necessary
helper in working the farm. The
board decided that the farmers"
will have to show more reason in or
der to secure exemption and the
forty-eight claims were returned.
Come For Information
This was not the only trouble of
NhC pOdi VI 4 ne NlGIh Vi lI6
York, and the entire board of Mif-
fin county, waited on the meeting,
They came after information, and it
was found that both boards are very
much "at sea" regarding the method
of procedure. They were still learn
ing the rudiments this afternoon,
and by this evening are expected to
accumulate enough knowledge to
continue their work. Many of the
other boards in the various counties
have discovered that they don't
know everything about what they are
doing and the appeal board is going
to work overtime in supplying infor-
nation and acting upon claims. It
was stated that the board will be
in session this afternoon and also
this evening. The claims of Dauphin
county will come up this evening.
Working ON Claims
The draft boards at Steelton and
at the Dauphin building in this city,
are still acting upon exemption
claims. So far this week they have
not made any examinations and are
not expected to do so until next Mon
day At Steelton, the men who had
not reported when called are show
ing up in large numbers each day.
They are being examined and their
claims for exemption are being re-

the family ties, but duty is calling
and the boys are ready.
Ready to Go
1t would be possible for the men
to leave upon notice of five hours,
one officers said. Others admitted
that while the camps could be
broken and the equipment loaded
within that space of time, the men
really need ten or twelve hours in
which to complete all necessary
preparations.
If orders are received to-day, it
is unlikely that the movement of
the troops will take place before to-
morrow afternoon. In this case,
the committee in charge of the big
demonstration which is being
planned, will have ample time to
complete the arrangements which
are already under way. When
Company left for the South, a
royal expression of Harrisburg's re-
gard was rendered them, and it is
the desire of prominent citizens that
no stone be left unturned to make
the celebration to be given Com
pany I, the Supply Company. the
Machine Gun Company and the
Headquarters Company an affair
that VIII live long in the memory
of Harrisburg people.
To Give Boys Send-off
The demonstration to be given
will be in charge of the City Grays.
Edward c. Humer, who was chief
marshal at the former parade, will
serve in like capacity again. Cap
tain E. Laubenstein will be chair
man of the general committee. and
all aids who served when Company
D left two weeks ago are expected
to be in line.
The various ORGANIZATIONS of the
city, including the Chamber of
Commerce, the Rotary Club. etc.
will have a part in arranging for
the affair. The several military
patriotic, civil and religious orders
participating in the former demon
stration will be expected to take
part.
While it is possible that the Gov
ernor's Troop will receive word to
move at this time, it is not expected
that this troop will leave Harris
burg until the latter part of the
month.

Harrisburg Boy Is
With Aero Squadron

One Harrisburg boy is a member
of the Twenty-third Squadron, United
States aviation corps, that passed
through Harrisburg at noon. His
name is Robert Merle Mace. He is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. William K.
Crozier, 1923 Swatara street. The
father is assistant city electrician.
The young man went to Fort Slo-
cum early in April. Instead of re-
naming the required twenty-one
days, the young aviators, because of
their good work in training, were
sent to San Antonio, where they have
been in training until one week ago.
Before enlisting Mr.. Mace was en-
ployed on the Reading railway.

REPORTED DEPARTURE

The announcement that the entire
pennsylvania division may receive
orders to move to Camp Hancock,
near Augusta, Georgia, within
thirty-six hours. was received at
Hargest Island this morning with
delight by the hundreds of men who

ltalys long years of preparation
and General Cadorna's strategy and
ability as commander continue to
bear fruit in the great offensive the
Italian armies are now waging for
Triest.
Although official announcement is
lacking, there seems little reason to
question dispatches from various
sources that Monte San Gabrielle the
last of the Austrian strongholds in
the Gorilla district has been taken
by the valorous Italian troops giving
them possession of the entire chain
of hills dominating the Gorilla area.
At ItaIy's Mercy
This eminence, in fact, has been
virtually at the mercy of the Italians
since the fall of Monte Santo, it's
neighboring stronghold. Now that
his troops have taken it, the way
seems cleared for General Cadorna
to complete his domination of the
Bainzizza plateau and push on into
the Chiapavono valley, driving
wedge in between the Austrian north
ern and southern armies on the Is
onzo front and severing their lines
of communication with each other.
On the Franco-British front the
British hail of shells being dropped
upon the German lines in Flanders
is causing the Germans to cofitem-
plate abandoning a wide expanse of
territory there now being swept by
General Haig's big guns and those of
French cooperating with him in the
Belgium campaign.
Expect New Offensive
The launching of the next entente
push here is apparently iminent and
as a measure of preparation the Ger
mans are reported to be removing
the civilian population of district
extending twelve miles or more to
