ish are keeping up their pressure
day and night along the entire 12Q-
mile front they occupy. Last night
number of local enterprises were
carried out successfully.
One of these operations was rather
important, increasing as it does the
British grip about Lens. Under the
light of the stars British troops
stormed and captured 400 yards OF
front line trenches east of Riaumont
wood, in the western outskirts of
Lens. thus drawing it closer to the
mining capital of France.
Elsewhere several raids in the
darkness served to keep the Prus-
slams nerves on edge. One of these
was undertaken west of Hulluch.
Here fifteen prisoners were brought
in, while during period of 2 u hours
the British remained in the enemy
trenches. Heavy casualties were in
fiicted upon the Germans and their
dugouts were bombed.
Two more raids were carried out
east of RoeuX and in the region OF
Vennuille while a local push north
west of Warneton secured two ad-
vance posts. In this affair a number
of Germans were killed.

Will Stand Sponsors
The RotarianS will stand as spon-
sors or the young men joining the
Rotary Contingent, will keep in con-
stant touch with them in the army
and the board of directors of the
club, acting with the public affairs
committee, meet at 4 o'clock this
afternoon to work out a program by
which the club will stand behind
these young men during their en-
listment.
To Be Kept Together
Big advantages will be offered to
those who joint the Rotary Con-
gent. The men will be kept all to-
gether in the same regiment and will
be drilled by trained officers of the
Regular Army. The club is prepared
to do great things for it's boys.
Already number of the club mem
bers are in the service, but most of
the members are beyond the enlist
ment age. They are influential busi-
ness and professional men of the
community who are anxious to do
their bit and they have chosen this
as one of the ways.
Army Officers Speak
Among those who addressed the
Rotary meeting to-day were Captain
e. II. Weston, one of those who put
on the big Liberty bond campaign
here some time ago, but who since
has received a commission in the
regular army. He said that Captain
Harrell had with great difficulty pro-
cured the permission of the War
Department for Rotary contingent
and he spoke at length of the ad-
vantages the men would receive as
result. While men up to As and
as young as Is are being recruited,
he said, it was expected that the
larger number would come from the
draft contingent and that joining
now, therefore, is simply beating
the government to enlistment in the
service.
Captain Weston said that the Mo-
tor Club had offered the free use
of automobiles to the local recruit
ing office this week, in the work of
bringing out Harrisburg's share of
the 10000 volunteers for which the
President has called before the end
of the week and that many other
organizations could be called upon
for help.
The Rotary Club never has fail
ed in anything it has undertak ken, ("
he said, land it is for that reason
especially we have asked you to per-
form this service"

Incident to last nights raids were
local operations that gained ground
for the British. Thus some progress
by them below Lens and northwest
of Warneton in the Mesinnes area is
reported.
There is momentary lull in the
infantry activities on the Aisne front.
The French have virtually succeeded
in establishing in its entirety
their line in the Vauxaillon area,

prospect to the east of this sector IN

SIGNS POINT TO
STRENUOUS CLOSE
OF LEGISLATURE
Senate in Excellent Shape;
House Disrupted; Threats
of Filibuster

All signs to-day favored a strenu-
Gus close of the one hundred and
twenty-second session of the states
Legislature with the Philadelphia
transit bill, the compensation law
amendment bills and the measure
to suspend the operation of the full
crew during the war and for a
month thereafter in the disturbing
roles in the House. The Senate is in
excellent shape for an early and har-
monious closing, the situation being
in marked contrast to the conditions
prevailing in the House.
Indications are appropriation bills
and measures of importance to con-
duct the state government will be
about the only things to get by with
out atmospheric disturbance. Both
Senate and House will show a GER
tain amount of courtesy toward each
other, but on the bills which have
been storm centers there is still a
low barometrics condition, rather fa-
vorable to squalls.
Threats of Filibuster
Open threats. of filibuster were
heard about the House to-day. Rep
resentative Frederick G. Ehrhardt,
of Scranton, the oldest member in
point of service in the House and a
leading Republican, said to-day that
he would object tonight and to-
morrow to considering the Philadel-
phia transit bill on first reading.
Labor leaders are demanding that
the House give special consideration
to the compensation amendments,
but quite few members are appar-
emily anxious to avoid voting on
those bills and their hackers are
talking of reprisals on the full crew
bill. The dry" members are also
talking about demanding considera-
ton for the prohibition amend
ment.
With all of these measures and
the Philadelphia small council bill
also on the calendar there are ex-
cellent opportunities for prolonged
speech making. The House will he
busy during the week on concur
renee in Senate amendments, con-
ference reports and similar routine
affairs so that chances are not good
for a last week record in enactng
laws.

 There is no reason why the driver should not ride with as much ease as others in the car and with as little strain as possible.

The Cad lilac Eight Is noted for the ease with which it steers. A gentle influence on the steering wheel is sufficient to guide 1t, and it keeps the road without mate rial effort on the drivers part
