Heavy artillery fire was proceeding

and German battle lines to-day but

Thursday the British gunners put
down a terrific barrage and the Ger

under a smoke barrage and to the
accompaniment of a heavy bonn

The enemy occupied a number of

THOUSANDS FACE
BOARDING CHARGE
ON FLOUR CARDS
Food A Administrator Finds
74,165 Pounds Held
in Excess

With but two more days in which
to register. Dauphin county house
holders have not turned in half the
hour cards that should be in the
hands of the Dauphin County Food
Administration when the registra-
tion Is completed.
To date about $4,000 flour cards
have been returned. More than 3S,-
600 householders should report their
flour supply to the local food ad-
ministration. Householders must
make the report, and those that do
not will be rounded up by the food
administration representatives.
II don't like to think people in
Dauphin county are boarding, and
yet if they do not return their flour
reports it seems like a confession
of boarding" is the way the local
food administration expressed the
opinion formed by the reluctance of
more than half the Dauphin county
householders to make the required
returns.
The total amount held in excess
is 1876 pounds of -four
OF the cards turned in, 10,407
which have been computed show no
signs of extreme boarding. Ten
thousand Dauphin county house.
holders show an excess of little more
than seven pounds of flour to the
household. One out of every six fam
lilies has a little excess, while the
average of those holdin gexcess sup
plies is 371a pounds each.
The flour cards will be printed
in the Harrisburg Telegraph for two
more days, at the end of which time
everyone is expected to have mailed
his flour card.

DISMISSAL OF
TROTZKY DUE TO
PEACE QUARREL
BolShevik Minister Held That
Peace Had Been EN-

BY Associaled Press

London. March 11.-Leon Trotzky Y
was dismissed as Bolsheviki Foreign
Minister by Premier Lenine owing
to a quarrel over the German peace
terms, says a dispatch to the Morn
ing Post dated Saturday in Petro-
grad. Trotzky held that the peace
had been eXtorted by force and that
no law recognized promises made
under duress as obligatory. There
fore, he is reported to have said, ia
was Russia's duty to fight, if only
guerrilla warfare. and the German
treaty should not be ratified.
Premier Lenine on the other hand.
held that the treaty must be ratified
and carried out on the theory that
disastrous treaties do not neces-
sarily annihilate nations, as Prussia
had proved several times.

In thirtyfour of the big training

These buildings contain thousands

needed. In every camp eight or ten
branch Libraries are maintained. The
eNpeditionary forces have their Ii
brarians and their Libraries. In all
100000 books are needed. Harris
burg can supply 10000 of this total.
Old books are not needed, because
a tattered and torn volume is as dis
pleasing to soldier as to any other
person.
Current fiction is good stuff-but
the donors should carefully refrain
from giving anything like ELSIE"
books, or Five Little Peppers" or
books prepared and written specially
for women.

BUILDINGS HERE
Army Officers Placing Orders
For New Cumberland and
Middletown Developments

The Army officers in charge of the
big construction work here are plac-
ing orders and planning for work for
the proposed Quartermaster's depot
and the ordnance warehouses at Mid
dletown. The New Cumberland site
will require more grading and con-
struction work than at Middletown
and work will be started there as
soon as arrangements can be made.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
already has laid out a yard and sig
nal system to take care of the traf-
fic to and from this city from the
quartermaster' depot and to take
care OF at least $50 cars at one time
on the New Cumberland site. which
extends all the way from New Cum
berland to Marsh Run, more than
500 acres.
Major Grey will have direct charge
of the New Cumberland and the Mid
dletowE developments, except the
aviation depot, which will be in
charge of Captain Kramer, who has
arrived in Middletown to take up
the work, which is ready to be
started as soon as the contract is
let. James Black, of St. Louis, orig
inally recommended for these two
warehouses. will not build them.
They will be erected most likely by
Wells Bros, of Chicago. who have
been recomm ended but the contract
may not be formally approved until
tomorrow.
The aviation development will re-
quire about eight more acres than
was originally thought necessary and
this land has been taken over by the
government from the Keystone In
du St rial COrDOratiOn
The ordnance depot will be erected
on land of the Keystone Company
just north of the aviation tract. 1t
will be on high land in no danger
of flood and well located from a
railroad and trolley standpoint. 1t
is said that grading already done
on the ground can be utilized by the
government.
]. Purviss and T.. ]. Weaver, rep
resenting Wells Bros, are in Harris
burg to-day going over the Middle
town site. They are prepared to
start work in twenty-four hours once
the contract is let, which may be to-.
morrow.
