Allied Reserves Taking
Places in Hard Pressed
Lines at Weak Points
BY Associated Press

With the French Army i'm France,
Wednesday Evening, May 20.-Allied
reserves are now taking up positions
in the battle line. They are being
thrown in to strengthen the defend
ing forces where they are weakest,
in preparation for the placing of a
barrier to a further German ad-
vance.
The battle along the fighting front
continued all night with the French
maintaining the western outlets of
scissors, the war office announced
to-day.
Northwest of Rheims the Franco
British forces broke all tho German
assaults and maintained the de-
fensive positions.
French reserves are continuing to
arrive on the front and the German
advance is being resisted with great
tenacity.
The Germans made repeated at
tempts to break through the French
defense in the scissors region, but
were each time held up by the de-
termined French resistance.
In the center of the German ad-
vance fighting is taking place in the
neighborhood of Vezilly (approxi- :
mately IS miles south of the
Chemin -des-Dames. where the Ger
man attack was launched on Mon
day.

NelDs From Battle Lines
Regarded With Utmost
Gravity by the British
By Associated Press

London, Wednesday, May 29.-
The news from the front tonight is
regarded here with the utmost grav-
ity. With scissors in the hands of
the enemy and Rheims closely
the question whether the
enemy's original intention was to
make the thrust on the Aisne front
his main operation hardly arises.
Yesterday the situation seemed to
be more hopeful, from the fact that
the two wings of the allied line were
holding firmly but the enemy has
developed attacks of such strength
on both the right and left that this
is no longer the case.
The salient created at the outset
is being widened swiftly and, as one
correspondent Iescribes it: The
new battle is flooding over the
ground of the Marne battle" The
Germans are in possession of Fismes,
an important railway and junction
They claim $4,000 prisoners al
though thus far they have said moth
ing about the number of guns cap
tured.
Dispatches from the front speak
of the fine cooperation between the
Frenc hand British in the retire
ment. Considerable comment has
been caused by the fact that Field
Marshal Haig who in the opening
phases of the Aisne reported their
progress, has ceased since yester-
day evenings announcement to make
any reference to them.

Grand Army Veterans Are
Greeted With Big Ovation
on Way to Honor Their
Dead Comrades
MANY VISIT GRAVES
OF FORMER SOLDIERS
Parades and Prayer Services
Mark Day, Little Marred
by Unfavorable Weather; ;
Success of Arms Asked

With the giant guns roaring "over
there" and thousands of brave allied
troops fighting for the preservation
of world freedom from autocratic
rule, thousands upon thousands of
American citizens to-day with prayer
and fasting observed another ami
versary in honor of the heroes who
fought and died in the Civil War to
defend the same great principles.
More than sixty long years have
passed since that great uprising
which shook the nation, but to-day
instead of being divided there are
one hundred million loyal Americans
all united in the great struggle
against the Hun and his attempt to
establish a world empire. The true
significance of this gigantic battle
adds to the Memorial Day services a
deeper, nobler feeling of patriotic
conservation as the nation bows its
head to honor the departed of a
war long since fought, and to pray
for the quick ana successful termi-
nation of the one now being waged.
Harrisburg Hears Call
Realizing the great duty before
the American people, the nations
leader, Presidnt Wilson, asked that
Memorial Day should be one of pub
lie humiliation, fasting and prayer.
Harrisburg, with more than 1000 of
its manhood under colors, practically
all of them in France, many on the
battleline, and five already listed
with those who sacrificed their lives
for their country, reverently observed
the day with church services, a
union service of Catholic churches
at Sylvan Heights Orphange and
three parades to cemeteries where
ceremonies were held in honor of
the Civil War Veterans.
AS the veterans marched to-day
beneath the overloaded sky. there
seemed to be a more hopeful gleam
in their eyes for they knew that
American has not shirked. They
knew the cause for which they
fought years ago and won the victory
is still the standard of the United
States, and that it's manhood of to-
day. realizing the need of the nation,
has come forward to fight once more
for liberty-this time for the liberty
of nations, the safety of defenseless
women and children.
Pray For the Living
Two of the parades of the day
were held this morning starting at 8
o'clock, one by the Catholic SociS&ies
and the other by Lodge No. 81,
K. of p, the latter marching to the
Lincoln Cemetery to decorate the
graves of veterans there.
The parade of the Catholic or
ganization was held in accordance
with the President request for prayer
for success, and formed part of a
most impressive ceremony on the
lawn at the Sylvan Heights Orphan
age, where thousands of members
of the churches of this denomination
and also the clergy of the Har-
risburg, Steelton and Middletown.
churches were present.
A. H. Kreidler was chief marshal
of the parade, which formed in
North street, with the head at Ca

FRENCH HOPE TO
DAM FLOOD OF
ENEMY FORCES
Germans Hope to Win in Big
Push the Main Avenue
to Paris
By Associated Press

Paris, May 30.-The German
flood will soon be damned, says a
semi official note issued to-day sum-
marizing the situation between
Rheims and scissors.
Increasing violence marks the
progress of the fighting south of the
Aisne. The Germans are fighting
against time and are throwing every
ounce of weight of manpower into
the struggle.
On the center the enemy has again
pushed forward, but his efforts to
broaden his advancing front have
met with less success. The allied
wings have been obliged to give some
ground. This action was carried out
slowly and the full price was exacted
from the enemy.
Situation Not Serious
scissors has gone and the British
have fallen back toward Rheims but
in either case the enemy has only
won a couple of miles of territory.
The Germans have been obliged to
leave their guns on the northern side
of the original line which can be
crossed only at a certain number of
points which are highly vulnerable to
allied airplanes.
The enemy is thus prevented from
reaping the full benefits of his rapid
advance. AS the battle proceeds the

Paris, May 30.-An enemy airplane

is recognized that the supply cut off
is considerably larger than the or
dinary capacity of all other plants in
the city.
Especially is the inconvenience to
be expected on holidays and week
ends when persons purchase double
their ordinary supply. Ordinarily
the plants are taxed their utmost at
these times in order to produce the
double supply necessary, but now
with every available oven occupied
every minute of the day, it will be
very difficult to produce for such
occasions. A shortage in the breat
supply on these days is very GER
