D. D. Hammelbaugh to
Lead Red Cross Campaign

Harrisburg's Red Cross Christmas
seal campaign for 1917 got it's initial
boost last evening when the general
committee which conducted the 1916
crusade elected d. d. Hammelbaugh,
secretary of the School Board, to sue
ceed DR.. c. r. Phillips as chairman.
DR.. Phillips. who has served so sue
cessfully for the past several years, de-
clined to serve again because of pri-
vate business affairs. The committee
met at the home of Mrs. William Hen
derson, 25 North Front street.
Harrisburg's school children, to-
gether with their small fellows in the
county districts. shouldered the bulk
of the work for the past year. as their
sales alone totaled nearly rs per cent
of the whole. This end of the work
was handled by Secretary Hammel-
baugh.
Both Henry w. Cough and John
Yates, county controller and secretary
of the Associated Aids Society, re-
spectively, were reelected treasurer
and secretary of the committee.

LIKELY TOHOLD
ANOTHER SPECIAL
MURDER WEEK
Will Not Be Able TO Handle
Many Homicide Cases This
Session

That another special term of crimi-
nal court-another murder week.
will likely be called during February
to try some of the many homicide
cases listed for January quarter ses-
sions was indicated this morning when
the grand jury returned indictments
against four more accused prisoners.
January criminal sessions end to-
morrow and it is doubtful more than
the trial of Eddie Marshall can be
started.
The grand jury to-day returned true
bills against Mary Washington, Fred
Richcreek, James Frazer and John
Robinson, all charged with murder,
and 1t is expected that these trials will
be taken up in order during the spe-
cial term.
Most of to-days session in Mol court
room before President Judge Kunkel
was taken up with trial of Harry r.
Shertzer, charged with having soaped
the trolley tracks in State street dur
ing the recent trolleymen's strike with
the intention of destroying Harrisburg
Railways Company property
Shertzer's defense was an effort to
prove an alibi. To support this he
produced witnesses to show that at the
time he is charged with having been
mixed up in the soaping incident, he
was among the company's men who
were reporting to the office for their
pay preparatory to going out on
strike.
In No. room Mary Radacj, was on
trial for assault and battery. George
Dorsey. pleaded guilty to cut
ting Henry Curry. Dorsey got six
months. Curry said he had called on
Dorsey with the intention of warning
him to cease his attentions to his sis
ter and Dorsey struck him with q
hatchet. Curry said he had no recol-
lection of what hit him until few
hours later when Dorsey coolly in
formed him that "a hatchet held by
nah own hands had done it,"

Forward Against Germans

With the British Armies in France
Jan. IL, via London, Jan. 12.-Through
rain, mist, fog and deep mud the Brit
ish army is continuing day by day to
pound the German line. Although
there has been no distinctly spectacu-
lar action recently, daily and nightly
trench raids and the drumming of the
artillery have continued. These op-
erations have yielded constant inflow
of prisoners and have kept the cas-
ualty lists growing. According to the
stories told by the prisoners the Brit
ish tactics have harassed the German
troops almost beyond endurance.
The last week has witnessed some
typical so-caIled minor operations, cul-
minating with an attack before dawn
to-day north of Beaumont-Hamel.
This action brought the total of pris-
oners taken in this area in the last
three days to 800 and placed in British
hands some important sections of
trenches. On Tuesday night the Brit

the German trenches flashed signals
for aid to the defending guns in the
rear, but the counter barrage failed to
check the advance. The German gum
merry in this instance was described by
the attacking officers as weak and
erratic.
The British soldiers encountered
little resistance when they entered the
shell-torn trenches. The Germans had
taken refuge from the terrible shell
fire in the dugouts and communicating
trenches. The prisoners taken in this
raid had been on the front line for a
long while and appeared very much
detected. AS soon as the captured
trenches had been cleared of the last
hostile fighters squads of engineers
were sent in to consolidate and repair
the new positions and before night
the regular booming of the big guns
told that the battle had once more
settled down into its customary routine.

CAN RECLAIM MUCH
BARREN LAND NOW
State Tests Show That 1t Is
Feasible; Franklin Makes
Good Showing

Estimates that 100000 acres of
barren land in Pennsylvania can be re-
claimed by reforesting on a systematic
basis were made to-day by the State
Department of Agriculture after study
of reports of the success attained with
reforesting tests. About 21,000,0O
trees have been set out on Is 900 acres
of land, including State lands where
favorable and unfavorable conditions
were observed.
The oldest reforesting tract, located
in Franklin county. and planted in
1902 with white pine, shows 90 per
cent. of trees living. In other sections
from so to 90 per cent. of trees set out
are reported as living and fiourishing.
while one small tract reports every
tree planted as growing. Most of the
results are declared at the Capitol to
compare favorably with reports on
German reforestation operations.
The reports for 1916 show that al
most 100000 trees, practically all
grown in State forestry nurseries, were
set out. and one tract took almost
100000 trees, which will be studied by
foresters. This years operations will
be on as great a scale if labor and
funds are available when needed, it is
stated at the Capitol.

Kentucky Farmers Get Big

Louisville, KY, Jan. 16.-kentucky
farmers who raise approximately one
third of the tobacco produced in the
United States, and about one-tenth of
the crop produced in the world, are

crop of almost record-breaking cize.
In addition to being one of the

of unusual quality. Leaf, lugs and
trash, as they are called in the term
inology of the tobacco trade, are of
the finest character. The leaf tobacco
is long, clear leaf which comes from
the middle of the plant; lugs are the
heavy leaves, posibsly spotted by the
soil which has been splashed on them
