Brumbaugh left them to settle their
troubles and where Dorsett was given
a hearing. Where, why and how the
adjourned meeting was held the sec
retary did not say except to remark
that he was not at 1t when action
was taken and no explanation of the
holdup of the announcement was
Vouchsafed.
When the announcement of confir-
nation of Dorsett had been allowed
to sink in Mr.. Patton announced that
porsett had resigned to take effect
March 1.
Have you accepted it?" was asked.
Il have not, but l probably WILL"
was the answer.
Dorsett is out making speeches in
behalf of the state marketing cam
paign, but has not been paid and
there is slim chance of him getting
any pay for n while. Since he has
been confirmed he will be paid eventu-
ally, but not until the Supreme Court
passes upon the legality of the Patton
appointment by the Governor after
rejection by the Senate. Then he will
be reimbursed.
There are hints to-day that the
commissioners abated opposition so
that they would not hit the Governor
who backed Dorsett, and so that he
could get paid some time. number
of high officials opposed Dorsett from
the start.

THAW BENEFICIAL
TO STEEL PLANT
Enables Borough HighwayDe.
partment to Rush Snow
Removal Program

The two days thaw has been bene-
fetal to the borough in many ways.
1t relieved the congestion of cars in
the yards of the steel plant and
opened up the streets enough to per-
nit the resumption of garbage col
lections.
A force of men, the garbage truck
and several wagons are working
daily to remove the snow from Front
street This work is expected to be
completed in several days and then
the garbage collections will be re-
sumed.
The refuse and ashes have been
piling up considerably and residents $
are getting restless. Members of the
Highway Committee request that
residents put up with a little incon-
venience until the snowcleaning pro-
gram is completed. Unless there is
another heavy snow. it will be pos
sible to resume collections regularly
in a week, officials claim.
At the steel plant the thaw en-
abled the transportation department
to loosen up the freight car conges-
ton to great extent. Freezeups
were also repaired and the steam
power improved.
A request for the removal of
icicles from buildings was made by
the police to-day. This action has
been taken to prohibit injury or loss
of life to pedestrians.
The demand for coal was not as
great during the last two days as
it had been for several weeks. Coal
dealers are very optimistic over the
situation, believing that Steelton will
get more coal if the railroads open

started a fire in a German town
which burned for an hour.
Patrols Enter Hun Trench
Patrols have been active. An
American patrol last night quietly
entered German trench. They
! found a loaded rifle on the parapet
and fresh footprints, but no SOL
diers.
American artillery and infantry
have succeeded in clearing out a
majority of the snipers who caused
considerable annoyance from the
time the sector was taken over by
the troops. Snipers' posts i'm build
irgs have been destroyed. Snipers
hidden in bushes or in shell holes,
have \been routed by American
sharpshooters, ending annoyance.
Night patrols have succeeded in To-
eating some of the positions
At one point enemy snipers were
discovered in a shell hole. A few
well placed shots from light artillery
ended their career. At another place
a hail of machine gun bullets was
effective.
Sniper Positions Threatened
One, two or possibly three snipers'
posts are still in front of the Ameri-
can positions but they are not likely
to be there long.
German efforts against the French
lines at Verdun and in Alsace are
growing stronger. Infantry attacks
have taken the place of raids. but
the latest German attempts were re-
pulsed with loss by the French
northeast of Verdun, at the Bois
Des Fosses and south of Hartmann
sweiler Kopf, in Alsace. Small raids
and the usual artillery actions have
occurred on the British front. In
Italy the artillery activity has been
slight.
Petrograd is again the scene of
grave disorders and 1t is reported
there has been much shooting and
robbing of supply stores. One hun
dred and twenty persons are said to
have been killed in clashes between
troops and rioters in three days.
The Bolsheviki government, ac
cording to an unconfirmed dispatch
received in Stockholm, has expelled
from Russia the entente allied mis-
sions to that country. 1t is added
that the members of the missions
have left Petrograd.
