US. TOBUY $4,000
GUNS FOR FRONT.
Pershing to Have a Cannon
For Every 100 Feet of
Battle Line

Bethlehem, Pa, July THE
magnitude with which the United
States proposes to go into this war
Is indicated in some degree by the
orders for cannon that have been
pouring into the Bethlehem Steel
Company.
With the last few weeks the War
three-inch guns and 10000 Al
schneider howitzers, of the famous
lie Creusot type. This order for 40,-
600 field pieces has come in addition
TO previous orders for approximate
ly $4,000 cannon at various times
since the declaration of war.
Some of the guns in the orders
Tor $4,000 are for the navy. but the
majority are for the army. 1t is esti-
mated the War Department has at
Bethlehem alone orders for $4,000
cannon. If these were placed in a
row along the western front of the
European battle lines, there would
be gun for less than every 100 fet,
not to mention the French and the
English artillery.
While Bethlehem is the biggest
gun factory in the world. this state
ment being made with special refer
ence to German pride in Krupp's,
there are other plants which also
have received considerable orders
for cannon, and it is said to be the
intention of this government to shoot
the Germans out of France and back
into their own country with a vigor
that will teach them respect for Pres
ident Wilson's declaration in favor
of a world democracy.
Over and above the orders e-om
the United States for nearly 10000
cannon, the Bethlehem plant has
booked and is making many thou
sands of guns for England France,
Russia and Italy.
The guns are being turned out
rapidly, and high explosive shells
are being turned out in even more
amazing proportion. Carloads of
guns leave the works every night,
ready for shooting, together with
shells to back up the work of the
American army on the German from
tier.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
DENY THROUGH
TRAIN REPORTS
Officials Hear Old Story Re-
garding Lebanon and Har-
risburg Traffic

Local officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad know nothing regarding the
Pcnnsy plans to run trains through
from Harrisburg to Lebanon. Follow
ing a visit this week by General Su-
perintendent Robert V. Massey and
Middle Division officials to Lebanon,
reports were circulated that the new
schedule on the Lebanon Division
would include through trains to and
from Lebanon and Harrisburg.
This is an old story, according to
local officials, and a change at this
time would be out of the question, it
was also stated. The Cornwall and
Lebanon branch. taken over long
time ago by the Pennsy. is now
known as the Lebanon Division. 1t is
part of the Eastern Division under
the jurisdiction of General Superin-
tendent Massey.
Through Trains Cut Expense
A general belief has prevailed for
some time that through trains would
be operated with less expense and af-
ford better train facilities between
this city and Lebanon. Recently there
have been elaborate improvements
made on this branch in preparation
for soldier traffic. Work is still un-
der way on track and yard extern
sions, and 1t is said the through pas
senger service will be taken up in
the near future.
To change the schedule at this
time. according TO one official, would
prove rather expensive. The new
schedule in effect last Sunday covers
all trains stopping at Conewago and
making connections for Mt. Gretna
and Lebanon. and it is said that any
further changes are not likely to oc-
cur until next fall.

Second Effort
The opening of the battle of Pinsk
marks the second efforts of the Rus
slams after the long period of quiet
which followed the revolution. The
point selected for this attack isabout
175 miles north of the sector in
East Galicia along whcih the Rus
slams made their first onslaught, re-
sulting in the capture of about 49,
900 men in two days. Pinsk is at
the middle of the Russo Galician
battle line.
There has been no heavy fighting
in this region since the conclusion
of the great Austro- German drive
which began in the spring of 1915.
During the summer the Russians
were driven out of Western Galicia,
Poland and most of the Baltic prov
inces. Pinsk was captured by the
Germans on September Is at the
high tide of the Austro-German in
vasion. Subsequently the Russians
held up the Germans on the Riga
front and since that time the heavi-
est actions have been fought on the
northern end of the line or in
Galicia.
Pinsk had a population of about
10000 before the war. It lies within
the great marsh and swamp region
of white Russia. about on a line of
that of Warsaw.

BrussiIof's Attack Is
Surprise For Germans Who
Did Not Expect BIow

General Brussiloff seems to have
been arranging a surprise on the
Russian front, judging from the re-
ports from Petrograd to-day of vio-
lent fighting in progress in the Pinsk
district.
Apparently the Austro- German at
tention has been centered on the
Galician district, where Brussiloff's
offensive opened last Sunday and
only last evening the German official
report recorded the resumption of
heavy attacks by the Russians.
There had been no mention in
any of the official statements re-
Gently of any especial activity any,
where along the Russian line except
in Galicia and the sectors immedi-
ately adjacent on north and south.
The report from Pinsk, $50 miles
north of the Galician border, there
fore, has in 1t the element of sur
prise for the world. if not for the
Germans.
Pinsk. which has been in Ger
man fands since the tide of the

flames. The city lies within pro-
nounced salient in the line and the
statement that fighting is occurring
west Of 1t may mean to the north
west, where the front trends along
the Oginski canal and the Jasiolda
river.
The infantry may not yet have
been thrown into the fighting at
Pinsk, the battle apparently being
one of big guns, judging from the
statement regarding the Russian ar
tillery, which is said to be "leveling
all obstacles"
on the Franco-Belgian front the
British have again made another
forward thrust, slightly advancing
their line east of Wytschaete. in the
