MEET
OFF INDEFINITELY
War Makes 1t Impossible to
Provide Special Trains at
This Time

Orders were issued to-day postpon-
ing indefinitely the annual system
meet of the Pennsylvania railroad. 1t
was scheduled to take place at Balti-
more next Saturday. War conditions
made the postponement compulsory.
The first interruption of plans came
when the lease of the Armory at Bal
timore was cancelled by the Maryland
National Guard authorities. Later it
was announced that it would be i'm
possible to provide the accommoda-
tions for taking the big crowds to and
from Baltimore.
All Departments
The meet includes all departm ents
of the Pennsylvania railroad east of
Pittsburgh and Erie. 1t was estimated
that 10000 people would attend. Spe-
cial trains were to run from Remove,
Altoona, Reading, New York, Phila-
delphia and Harrisburg. Plans were
underway to take $500 from Harris
burg.
No arrangement has been made to
play off the finals in the various con-
tests. 1t is probable that the COM
mittee will arrange for the special
events in various cities. Harrisburg
may get the billiard contest and the
bowling and basketball matches. The
committee in charge of the system
meet will get together at an early
date and decide upon future plans.

RAILROADS READY
FOR COOPERATION
Every Department Will Have
Man at Important Points;
To Select Experts


New York, April .. - The War De-
partment and the railroads of the coun-
try have completed a plan of co-opera-
tion during the war, it was announced
by Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern Railway and chairman of the
special committee on national defense
OF the American Railway Association.
"As agreed upon by the railroads and
the military authorities" Mr. Harri-
sons statement in part said. ''represen-
tatiyes of the American Railway Asso-
power, traffic and accounting depart
ments of roads, designated by the spec
lal committee of national defense of the
American Railway Association will be
located in the office of the quartermas-
ter general, at each mobilization point.
at each concentration point and at each
strategic point at which troops are to
be assembled.
"Other inspectors or representatives
VIII be designated as may be required
TO facilitate the cooperation between
the transportation lines and the mill
tary. service and as the needs of the
service may indicate"
Mr.. Harrison stated the carriers had
been advised that these transportation
experts should be chosen from O class
of men who will be broad-minded and
temperamentally of such character as
would take broad view of transpor-
tation in movements and supplies"
1t was urged that they should show
no disposition ito work for or in favor
of any particular transportation line"
but should devote their energy "solely
to the solution of the transportation
problem in the manner most satlsfac-
fashion as can be most effectively exc
Cuted by the railroads"

FIFTY MEN JOIN
U. ARMY HERE
Recruits Coming in So Fast
Captain Harrell Is Losing
Count, He Says

Recruits, not only from the city
but from surrounding counties in our
district are coming in so fast that 1
am losing account of them" is the
way Captain William f. Harrell of the
local army recruiting station speaks of
the rally of the young men of the
country to her defSlse. Fifty men
to-day and 10 in the last seven days
is our record"
Large squads of men came to Har-
risburg to-day from surrounding
towns, including Johnstown, Mahanoy
City and seven men from Millersburg.
ms morning six men volunteered
their Willingness to join the colors be-
fore the men in the recruiting station
had started their morning work.
Harrisburg has been well to the
fore in number of recruits. Seven
and this morning We're sent to Eort
Slocum.
In case of q call for 100000 volun-
teers the allotment from this district
which includes 20 counties would be
900 men per day for a month. Harris
burg with a population of $4,000
would have to furnish 15 men each
day. Captain Harrell feels confident
that this number of men could be fur
nished without difficulty.
Captain Harrell believes that with
the added enthusiasm and spirit that
a call for volunteers would bring there
would be no difficulty in furnishing
the men.
Captain Harrcll remarked on the
fact that Harrisburg was one of the
few cities where civilians were not
actively interested in personal recruit
ing. In Philadelphia and other cities
of the country private citizens have
furnished automobiles to tour the
town and surrounding country for
men. Pretty girls usually accompany
these automobiles on their tours for
recruits, adding the effectiveness OF
feminine charm to the sound argu-
ments that the recruiting officers can
offer to prospects. Captain Harrell
has volunteered his willingness to fur
nish uniformed men to accompany
any such expeditions.
Quartermaster Quirk during the last

Secretary Patton was summoned by
telegraphic message from United
states Secretary of Agriculture ID. f.
Houston and the meeting will be at
tended by the heads of agricultural
departments of every state in the
Union. The entry of the United
states into the war has made the food
supply question critical one as the
farmers of this country will not only
be called upon to feed the immense
army of this country. but probably to
help out in supplying food to the
countries with which the United
states will be allied in the struggle
Secretary Patton and Governor
Brumbaugh have repeatedly called
upon the people of PENNSYLVANIA to
use every available space of ground
Tor the production of food this sum-
mer. Secretary Patton has asked
every housewife to put up all the
canned vegetables that it is possible
to conserve and has called attention
to the enormous scarcity of tin cans
and the necessity for the conservation
and use of all glass receptacles.
Before leaving Secretary Patton
said:
Every food commodity must be
brought to a maximum and | most
urgently plead for a Statewide cam
raign for greater production of
IIdiiS' polatoeS' garden crops, fruits,
beef cattle. hogs, sheep, and dairy
supplies. Farmers should retain all
their breeding ewes this year and try
to double the output of wool in this
| state. We are facing a serious situa-
tion and it cannot be made too en-
phatic.
There should not be en- idle high
| school or college boy in the country
this summer. All can find employ
ment on the farms and in agricul-
! turaL pursuits and he doing their bit
for their country while receiving fair
pay from the farmers who are desir-
Gus of help. Parents should see that
! their boys are employed this year
during the vacation months for by so
doing they are taking patriotic steps
in one of the most vital subjects be-
fore us in years, the production and
! conservation of an ample food sup
ply"

BRITISH GAIN I'm
NEW OFFENSIVE
Continued tbom First Paeel

Bouries and penetrated Havrincourt
wood.
In the direction of st. Quentin the
British took Fresnoy lie Petit and ad-
vanccd their line southeast of lie Ver-
guier. No estimate of the number of
Germans captured can yet be given,
the statement says, but the number is
considerable.
The fighting line from Lens to Ar
ras is approximately ten miles in
length and lies directly north of the
field of the retreat which the Germans
have been conducting for the past sew
eral weeks.
The fact that the line has been pene-
trated by the British all along this
wide front indicates that the move
ment there is general offensive.
That it is proving a successful drive
is indicated by the statement that
satisfactory progress" is being made
lat all points"
An entire new phase of operations
on the western front is opened up in
this new battle on the Lens-Arras
line. The field of attack represents
the greatest danger point for the Ger
mans, as in the recent fighting a sharp
salient was driven into the German
line southeast of Arras.
In the Lens region, into which the
British are driving is rich coal field
which the Germans have been exploit
ing since their occupation of this ter
ritory early in the war.
The opening OF the new offensive
had been foreshadowed in the intense
aerial activity of tho past two or three
days in which hundreds of airplanes
have been engaged on both sides.
This work, as the British statements
have indicated, has given General
Haig's staff Photographic reproduce
tions of the German positions for long
distances behind the fighting line
Further south the British have con-
tinued their progress in the field of
the German retreat, the advance re-
ported at Hermies and Boursies being
particularly important. Bour-
sizes is directly on the road from Ba-
paume to Cambria, about eight miles
from the latter place. Hermies lies
just south of Boursies
In their drive to st. Quentin the
capture of Fresnoy de Petit puts the
British within 21s miles of st. Quen-
tins outskirts.
