Continuation Of Present Calm
Not Expected Much Longer
With Both Sides Prepared
For Whatever May Occur
! MORALE OF BEST HUN
TROOPS HAS BEEN HIT
Allies Mastery of the Air Pro-
ductiDe of Much Damage to
Enemy BilletS; Tons Of Er-
plosiDeS Dropped

Heavy fighting operations on the
western front still are in the stage
of anticipation. Continuation of the
present calm much longer is hardly
possible with both sides prepared
for a renewal of extensive opera
tions. The Germans are known to
have completed their preparations
and the allies are confident in their
ability to meet the shock of enemy
attacks, wherever and whenever they
may come.
What really is going on behind
the German lines is uncertain, but 1t
is known the enemy has large num-
bers of men along the front from
Ypres to Rheims. His artillery is in
position and weather conditions
have been favorable, but the Ger
man leaders are, not ready to test
given no indication of doing so. The
German morale is reported to be
much weaker than before the attack
of March 21.
Tons of Bombs Dropped
Meanwhile the allied mastery of
the air is productive of much dam
age to German billets, airdromes,
artillery concentrations and other
military targets. For more than a
week now British and French air.
men have been dropping ton after
ton of bombs in the areas immedi-
ately back of the German lines. In
aerial fighting the German f1iers
have been bested and on Wednesday
British aviators accounted for fifteen
enemy machines while losing three
of their own.
Raids into Germany continue and
British bombing squadrons have
again visited Mannheim, on the
Rhine, where two fires were caused.
An electric power station near Saar-
brucken, German Lorraine, was
damaged severely and more explo-
sives have been dropped on railway
stations at Metz.
American Aviators Downed
Berlin claims that three American
airplanes have been brought down
on the Lys battlefield. This is the
first indication that American air.
men were with the American troops
on this front.
Infantry ra1ding operations and
artillery firing is at a minimum
along the entire front from Switzer-
land to the North sea. Activity on
the American sectors has been be-
low normal.
Italy begins her third year of the
war to-day. AS in France, the enemy
withholds his offensive operations
heralded as certain some weeks ago.
On the mountain front there has
been no fighting of moment, while
along the Piave the Italians have re-
pulsed another Austro- Hungarian
attack against the new bridgehead
at Capo Sile.

MILK PRICES TO
REMAIN AT Il
CENTS QUART
Food Administration Salts
fled With Conditions After
an Investigation

There will be no increase in milk
prices in Harrisburg during the sum-
mer and fall, according to the Dau-
phin County Food Administration
this morning. The food administra-
tor at the same time announced that
there will be no decrease in the re-
tail price of twelve cents a quart
and seven cents pint, which has
been considered unreasonable in
some quarters.
DR.. Clyde l.. King, dairy expert
and representative of the State Food
Administration, after a series of con-
ferences with representative dealers
and producers in the city, this morn
ing made the statement that the
prices now charged consumers are
not exorbitant. He declared that a
decrease in the retail price now
charged would cause a milk famine
in the city by the end of the sum-
mer.
Productive Costs High
A decrease in price rates would
mean that the farmers of the county
would have to dispose of their stock
at the current rate of feed prices, ac-
cording to the food administration
expert. DR.. King substantiated the
claims of the dealers and dispensers
that Harrisburg is not being
charged an inflated price rate for
milk.
At the same time DIR. King sound
ed the warning that an increase over
the twelve-cent rate now being
charged would be unwarranted un-
less an unlocked for and material
advance is made in food prices.
The decision of the food admins
tration representative settles a dis
pute that began last winter when the
milk dealers of the city announced
their new price rates. At that time
there was talk of boycotting, and
the dispensers threatened to enlist
the aid of the food administration to
make the dairymen lower their
prices when the consumers object
ed to the necessitated raise to twelve
cents on the part of the dealers.
Prices Fixed
The following principles have been
approved by the food administration.

conferences:
THE dealers have agreed that

MANY JOBS GIVEN
TO MEN WHO MUST
WORK OR FIGHT
Big Industries Can Place
Thousands at Work Nee
essary For War
WOMEN TO HELP CAUSE
Non-EsSential Businesses to
Call on Aged to Help
Fill Places

When the exodus of hundreds of
men engaged in Harrisburg in nom
essential occupations starts within
the next several days as a result of
the fight or work. order of Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder yes
terday, the individuals will have lit
tie or no difficulty to secure work in
essential lines in the vicinity of Har-
risburg.
Jobs necessary to the successful
prosecution of the war are numerous
in this city, it was learned to-day
Most of the numerous industries en-
gagged in the manufacture OF govern
ment supplies here are sadly under
manned. Inquiries this morning
among only a few of the industries
engaged in essential work showed
that all can find room for more en-
ployes.
Little effect is expected 20 be seen
in the non essential lines for some
time. The Crowder order of yester-
day will not become effective until
July /, but several weeks before
that time the big rush is expected to
set in.
Some few of the employees en-
gagged in the work listed as nom
essential yesterday will likely leave
their places of employment with the
completion of this week or as soon
thereafter as their places can be
filled. The real rush, which is eX-
pected to upset the city and tenn
porarily wreck havoc in various
lines of work, however, is not to be
expected for several weeks.
To Call in Women
Could we take a short Rip Van
Wrinkle siesta of several months
length we would see many changes
startling to the eye when we awake
after July 1. In the essential
occupations we would find men, long
past the age of real activity, and
women filling the positions once held
by the eager and ever alert young
men. The city. with it's stores and
other places of business now teem-
ing with activity, would scarcely be
recognized.
This is the age of the old man.
He is coming into his own again"
Such were some of the numerous re-
marks expressed yesterday and to-
DAY. Ana II might well ne duueu
that it is likewise the age of the
woman and of the youth under draft
age.
Domestic service will be entirely
revolutionized. No longer will young
male faces be seen over sales coun-
ters in merchantile establishments.
Eating and drinking places, too, will
be affected. All of them will have
older men and girls filling positions.
The same classes of persons will be
found serving as elevator operators
and other attendants, doormen, foot
men and other attendants of clubs.
hotels, stores, apartment house
buildings. Office buildings and bath
houses.
Industries Need Men
In Harrisburg, hundreds of men
will soon start securing the city for
jobs listed as essential occupations
that they may not automatically be
called to appear before draft boards
and be examined for induction into
the United States service. Pool
rooms and other loafing places
throughout the city will be prac-
tically emptied. But in Harrisburg
it will not be difficult for the men
to find essential jobs.
Hundreds of men will be able and
many will find work with the Penn
