Harrisburg people have until 9

American boys who have gone and
who are going to "the other side"
to give their lives, if need be, in the
cause OF liberty and democracy.
The Second Liberty Loan closes

a plan similar to the Christmas Saw

money and retain the bond as col

at the best to offer for their failure

When the greatest contralto OF

BRITISH GAIN CONTINUES
By Associated Press

~ ZNsSh - %2sgdSd1FU
London, Oct. 27.-British troops
have made further progress west of
PasschendaeIe, east OF Ypres, says
the official statement from Field
Marshal Haig to-day. Two German
counterattacks were repulsed during
the night and the ground gained yes
terday was consolidated.
Paris, Oct. 27.-Continuing their
offensive in Belgium, French troops
have captured German trenches

British Front in Belgium, Oct. 27.
-Polderhoek Chateau, on the Ypres
front, which the British entered yes
terday, was in the hands of the Ger
mans to-day. Hard fighting is con-
tinuing.
The terrible condition of the
ground prevented as much of an
advance yesterday as was desired.
Nevertheless the main purpose of
the attack-occupation of the Belle
vue spur-was achieved.
Italian Army Headquarters, Friday,
Oct. 2s.-The military situation here
tonight is summed up by army Of
ficers as follows:
The Austro-German advance is still
held in check in the passe swest of
the lsonzo river leading to the Vene-
tion plain. But the gravity of the
conditions caused by the enormous
forces of the enemy has led the SUI
preme command of the Italian army
to adopt precautionary measures.
General Cadorna, the Italian COM
mander-in- chief, announced that in
consequence of the retirement of the
Italians to tn eformer frontier line
further arrangements are now being
made for falling back from the
Bainsizza high plateau.
This plateau is thrust forward be-
tween the Austrian flanks and while
representing a splendid achievement
of Italian arms, it becomes menace
with Field Marshal Won Macknsens
forces west of the IsonGo seeking to
make turning movement south
ward. The falling back from the
Bainsizza plateau therefore is de-
signed as a strategic move to check
mate the enemy's turning movement

and in the dark that the first machine
guns hauled by Missouri mules, the
drivers swathed in ponchos and with
shrapnel helmets over their eyes,
came upon the road beside a dark
canal There was a long line of these
and then came some infantry rolling
kitchens, giving off a savory odor of
warm food.
March i'm Dark
All passed in silence. The last gun
carriage had sprawled on ii the form
of soldier who had been taken ill
and who was heing held on by two
of his walking comrades.
Through another street paved with
cobbles and its sides lined with
gaunt skeletons of shell wrecked
houses came the sound of the tread
of many hobnailed boots and in the
darkness the dim forms of men could
be seen marching.
American Infantry
The cautious flash of an electric
pocket lamp disclosed that they were
American infantry, packs on their
backs, rifles slung on their shoulders,
rain glistening on their helmets and
coats, the wind whipping the bottom
of their coats around their legs which
were moving with machine like pre-
cision.
The Americans swung down the
street apparently as proud as though
on dress parade Notwithstanding they
had marched miles from the billets
where they had been since coming by
motor trucks and railway from the
instruction centers. AS the ranks
passed every now and then a soldier
could be heard whistling softly to
himself, his nearby comrades listen
ing silently to sentimental and pop
ular pieces.
"Stop That Noise"
Finally from the rear came the
whistled strain of a tune which all
