Color is lent the assumption that
operations on a notable scale are in
prospect here, however, by the Off
Cial accounts from London of the
intensive aerial work in progress,
which Photographic observation on a
large scale have been carried out.
The destruction of air craft yester-
day was heavy on both sides. Thirty
German machines being downed and
Thirteen British machines being re-
ported missing.
The French front likewise was
devoid last night of infantry ac-
tivity, aside from raiding eX-
curslons.
Germans Mass Guns
The theory that the Germans have
been engaged in an effort to mass
guns in sufficient numbers to meet the
British train of fire on the Belgian
front seems to be borne out by to-
days Berlin statement. The British
have been Influenced by the etfec-
tiveness of the German fire to the
extent that there was let up yester-
day in the intensity of their bonn
bardment il is declared.
The Austro-German advance has
reached the Bukowina boundary TO-
ward the southern end of the field OF
operations and is marching through
the Suchawa Valley towards Seletyn
1t likewise has penetrated to th'
east ward of the Moldavia Valley.
Further north the Russians appear
to be making a stand near the east
ern border of Galicia on the Russian
side of the line. The Teutonic col.
umns have pressed at several pla .es
across the river Zbracz, which farms
the border line, but the Russians are
holding the heights to the east. There
are some indications that this may
mark the extent of the Austro- Ger
man advance here, both because of u
stiffening Russian resistance and the
danger of a much further extension
of the Teutonic center without COR
responding advances on the fianks.

QUICK ACTION
TOBE TAKEN ON
ASH DISPOSAL
Dunkle Determined to Push
Project Through; May Buy
the Reduction Plant

That Commissioner Dunkle will
make every effort to provide as soon
as possible for the garbage and ash
collection and disposal needs of the
city was the statement made by that
official to-day.
While no answer had been received
from the Pennsylvania Reduction
Company representatives in response
to the request for a months extern
sion of time to consider the advisa-
bility OF purchasing the reduction
plant. city officials anticipate this
will be granted.
Regardless of this. however, Com
missioner Dunkle said he is ready to
act at once, and can see no other
solution for the present conditions but
the purchase of the plant
With the cost of building work
and matrials constantly increasing. l
believe it would be unwise now for
the city to attempt to build plant in
six months and be prepared to op-
crate it. There is no doubt that quick
action must be taken and if necessary
| will be prepared when Council con-
venes to act and take the first step
in preventing a repetition of condi-
tions this winter like those of last
year"
Mny Buy Plant
While the official would not state
just what he proposed to do, he inti-
mated that after conferences with
city and state health departm of
ficials, and a careful study OF the
situation, there seemed to be only one
solution, and that is the purchase of
the reduction plant.
This afternoon Commissioner Dun
kle visited Lancaster to study the
collection and disposal system there
and to discuss. the ash and garbage
problems with officials of that city.
In, speaking of systems used In
other cities, Mr.. Dunkle referred to
an announcement which has Just
been made in Reading that council in
that city is planning to build a pig
gerry and keep about five thousand
porkers to eat the garbage gathered
each day. The city was forced to do
this, it was said. because of the
scarcity of coal, which compelled the
closing of the incinerating plant in
use there. 90.
At present this plan is not being
considered for Harrisburg, he said,
as every effort will be made to ar
range for the use of the reduction
plant.

-tieable route to the mobilization
camp. In so far as section 5 requires
an initial assembly not less than IL
hours before train time, thatssection
may also be modified in the discretion
of the governor for the purpose of the
present movement.
I'm case local conditions are likely
to present traffic problems the rail
road representatives mentioned in my
1865 telegram is available to the
governor for consultation and assist
ance.
THE governor should feel that he
has full authority to make such modi-
fications as may be necessary to meet
special situations as long as these
notifications insure the required
notice to the men and the delivery of
the precise number of men at the
proper time with the necessary papers
and without congesting the ordinary
service of the state.
THE movement on Sept. 10 will be
governed by mobilization regulations
and my 1865. The change of sched-
ule indicated herein will give ample
time for study of that plan and for
any exchange of suggestion necessary
to meet local conditions.
I'm announcing the decision to mo-
Billie only 5 per cent of the national
army on Sept. instead of 80 per
cent, the opportunity is taken to give
to local and district boards the credit
that is due them for the overwhelm-
ing amount of work they have &C
complished in scrutinizing the thous-
ands of cases that it was necessary
for them to examine in order to have
80 per cent of their quota ready Sept.
5. Reports received from practically
every state in the union show that
every state would have had ready
much more than 80 per cent of it's
quota on Sept and the vast ma
jority of them would have been ready
with their entire quota on that date.
This service has required a month of
the most exacting work on the part of
the boards. This work was consum-
mated under adverse conditions and
is in large part uncompensated. 1t
stands as one of the most significant
expressions Of substantial patriotism
and devotion ION the part of $4,000
men, selected from among the best
citizens of the country"
