Harrisburg Auto Co.
to Build Large New
Garage in West End

One of the most important real
estate sales for some time in Har-
risburg took place to-day when the
Harrisburg Automobile Company
sold it's large building near Third
and Hamilton streets to M. Brenner
q Son, of this city.
The Harrisburg Auto Company has
been located at this place for the
past fourteen years, during which
time it has become one of the largest
automobile concerns in Harrisburg.
George Mcfarland, manager, stated
this afternoon that the company has
purchased the vacant lot above the
Kelker street market and is contem-
plating the building of a big garage.
According to specifications the pro-
posed garage will be 210X100 feet,
and will extend along Fulton, Dau-
phin and Kelker streets.The proposed
structure will be one of the largest
of it's kind in the city. 1t is reported
that the present building occupied
by the automobile company will be
used by it's new owners as a storage
house. M. Brenner & Son will take
possession some time in the near
future.
Mr.. Mcfarland stated that the
company was well pleased with the
purchase of the new location, as the
present quarters were inadequate
and could not cope with the enor-
nous increase in business.

Victory Over Germans
Is as Complete as Any

Yesterdays victory of the British
in Flanders appears to have been
about as complete as any they have
gained in this years operations. To-
day found them not only in entire
possession Of the ground they had
wo non a siX-mile front from Tower
Hamlets to ST. Julian, but pressing
the Germans hard after repulsing
numerous counterattacks.
1t has taken hard battling, never
theless, to maintain the gains of
from half a mile to two-thirds of a
mile which they accomplished in
Wednesdays drive. The Germans
returned repeatedly to the attack
yesterday afternoon and evening, as
saulting the new British line with
large forces. They were success
fully met at all points however, the
British war office reports to-day and
the fighting died down in the even
ing, leaving Field Marshal Haig's
forces in possession of their gains.
The German losses throughout had
been extremely heavy.
New fighting developed to-day
south of the eastern extremity of
Polygon wood, the Australians there
giving the hard pressed Germans no
rest. On the British right heavy
fighting also continued for elevations
northwest of Zonnebeke.
The French on the Aisne front
had a German offensive movement
to deal with last night. They met
it successfully, repulsing with heavy
losses the crown princes troops who
twice attacked French positions on
the Chemin Des Danes.
