ings ever held in the borough, organ
lied a home guard company. Five
hundred were present at the patriotic

Main Line Trains Passing
Through Are Expected to
Be Eliminated as War Step

Official announcement of trains to
be eliminated by the Pennsy on the
main line is expected within the next
ten days. Present indications are
that four trains westward and as
many eastward, will be removed to
enable the prompt handling Of gov
ernment business. 1t is also the be-
lief of local officials that not many
crew changes will be made and few
men will go back on the extra list.
There is also a general belief pre-
vailing that government business
will keep both extra and regular men
busy. Trains reported to be on the
list for elimination include several
that have been on the main line
schedule several that have been on
schedule for years.
Train No. 614, arriving in Harris
burg from Pittsburgh at 3.25 a. m,
it is said will be combined with Train
No. which leaves Harrisburg at
3.45 a. m. Train No. 3S arriving at
Harrisburg at S.49 a. M; No. 2S ar
irving at 5.39 a. M, and No. IL, due
in Harrisburg from the west at 2.33
D. M, it is reported will be taken off.
Westward the trains mentioned as
elimination probabilities are No. 81,
arriving at go p. M; No. 29, due in
Harrisburg at $40 p. M; No. 80, ar
irving at 1886 p. M; and No. SO, a

SURVEY SHOWS
BIG INCREASE
[Continued From First Page.]

modities, If an increased acreage, to
what commodities has the additional
area been planted? Has there been
an increased acreage in all locali-
ties? What are the general condi-
tions and prospects for large crops
and will the cherry and small fruit
crops be large?
One-Fourth Increase
Replying to these queries with re-
spect to the Cumberland and Adams
counties the increased acreage is at
least one-quarter more than normal,
the additional commodities planted
being largely beans, potatoes, peas,
corn and other small vegetables. In
these countless increased planting is
general in all localities, and the pros
poets are regarded as very good.
With respect to the strawberries,
cherries and currants the reports
for these two countries agree that
the crop will be somewhat short,
especially strawberries owing to the
cold and wet weather.
In Miffiin and Juniata counties ev-
cry little plot of ground has been
planted in something. particularly
beans, potatoes, corn, peac and to-
matoes. There has been, as in the
Cumberland Valley, ii largely in
creased acreage and the conditions
and prospects for large crops are
good at the present time. Frost af-
fected small fruit to some extent in
the Juniata Valley.
Large Increase
ThrOn0hOnt ,aha and
ter counties the increased acreage
on all commodities is large. This ad-
ditional acreage being devoted to
potatoes, corn, wheat and oats. Gen
eral conditions and prospects for
large crops are favorable and the
blossoms indicate a large yield of
fruit.
AS to the northern Dauphin and
Snyder counties favorable reports
are also heard. there being an in
creased acreage on all commodities
with potatoes and beans leading.
Wheat does not look so we'll in this
particular section, but otherwise the
outlook is encouraging Peaches and
small fruit crops will be large.
Immediate Vicinity Responding
York and Perry counties are in line
with their neighbors with the eXcep-
ton of grass and hay. All other crops
have been largely increased and are
in good shape, the cherry and small
fruit crops being about normal. Mr..
Coover states that the reports from
the section Immediately surrounding
Harrisburg are all promising. There
is a largely increased acreage and
large acres have been planted in po-
tatoes and beans and other veg
cables. He finds that there has been
a greater response Immediately
around the city than in the country
district. All crops indicate a large
yield.
Perhaps the most encouraging
feature of the various reports is the
general good condition of all crops
with a few exceptions affecting the
small fruits.
More than 200 acres have been

Two of Germany's Air
Raiders Are Shot Down
BY AsSncintcd Prc,s

London, June 6.-Sixteen German
airplanes came over the North Sea
last evening and dropped many
bombs on the small towns and viii
lagos in Essex and Kent. Only four
teen of them returned to their home
base, for two were brought down by
British guns.
So far as late reports show, only
two persons were killed and twenty
nine injured in the bombarded dis
tricts. The raiders met with a lively
reception, extra precautions having
been taken by the British authorl-
ties after the recent very serious raid
on the southeast coast of England
in which $50 persons were killed or
wounded. The Germans were at

they had an opportunity to carry out
their raiding intentions to any great

on Spanish City by Mistake
Bp ASsocfntcd Prcts

Madrid, June 6.-Dispatches from
Algeciras declare that the Gibraltar
batteries during target practice on
June 2 mistakenly directed shells
into the city, which, fortunately, did
little damage and killed no one, but
caused a temporary panic.
1t is said in political circles that
the incident has no Importance and
that the Spanish government already
has received satisfactory explana-
tions. Nevertheless the Spanish gov
ernment is seeking a detailed report
from the military governor of Alge-
ciras prior to entering into discus
sion with London. The premier,
Marquis Garcia Prieto, to-day con-
ferred lengthily on this matter with
former Premiers Romanones. Dato
and Maura.
