way 10 cantonments is to be stopped
II 1t is necessary to ask the United
states Army to detail military police
TO the troop trains to do it. The
scenes which were enacted about
Union station last week when draft
men got out of trains and jumped

II police do not stop sale of liquor
by saloonkeepers to the drafted men
the federal authorities will.
Thls fact. and also the possibility
that steps being taken by officers at
Middletown to curb sales of liquor
and investigate vice may show trails
to Harrisburg were learned to-day.
1t is said that conditions in Harris
burg are being studied with a view
to what connections they may have
with Middletown.
Murdock Means Business
Il had to go personally to saloon
keepers in the vicinity of the station
last week to warn them not to sell
liquor to drafted men and some of
them at first refused to do So" said
Major w. G.. Murdock, state draft Of
Ificer, to-day. II was surprised that
it was permitted and went to the
station to investigate reports. /
found men in bars drinking. These
men are in United States service and
1T is unlawful to sell to them"
IF 1t is necessary shall ask that
military police be detailed on each
train to keep the men in the cars"
continued the major. This will pre-
vent them from getting out not only
while in Harrisburg but everywhere
else along the line

Silver at ST Per Ounce
Proposed as War Spur
By Associafed Prcss

Washington, April 9.-Melting in
to bullion of not more than $50, ,000,-
600 silver dollars now in the Treas
ury for sale and export to pay trade
balances and the repurchase of sill
Yer at 81 an ounce, is proposed in an
administration bill introduced to-
day by Senator Pittman as an emer-
gency war measure.
Silver certificates would be with
drawn from circulation as the dol
lars are taken from the Treasury and
Federal Reserve Bank notes of new
81 and 50 denominations substituted.
If enacted the measure virtually
would fix a standard price for silver
at 81 an ounce, several cents above
the present market, and stabilize the
world market, since the United
States produces almost half of the
total

London, April 9.-The German
artillery developed great activity
early to-day on the British front on
the line from La Bassee canal to
south of Armentieres, according to
to-day's war office announcement.
With the American Army in
France, Monday, April S.-American
outposts in the Lorraine sector at
tackled a German patrol this morn
ing and killed one of the enemy
party. The Americans dragged the
body across No Mans Land into their
own trenches for Identification.
Ehere were no American casualties.
In preparation for another heavy
infantry attack against the allied
lines in Picardy in an attempt to
reach Amiens, the German guns of
all calibers are roaring in thunder
Gus tones along a front of more than
100 miles from north of Arras to
north of Scissors. The entire coun-
tryside is said to be rocking from
tEe heavy detonations, but no infan-
try action has yet developed
Especially severe has been the
German fire around Bucquoy, north
of Albert; south of the Somme and
between Montdidier and Noyon.
Last week the Germans failed in
mass attacks to penetrate the British
and French defenses north and
south of the sectors directly east of
Amiens and thus extend the apex
of tEeir wedge. The tremendous

doubtedly is the forerunner of heavi-
er attacks, probably all along the
line from Arras to Noyon.
Held Strong Positions
Bucquoy, which is south of Arras,
is on the northern end of the sector
which the British defended so val
iantly last week. The British here
and both to the north and south hold
strong hill positions, from which
their artillery and machine guns
command all approaches. The Ger
mans must widen the head of their
wedge along the Somme and it is
believed they again will attempt to
do it by attacks in the Bucquov area
Below Montdidier the German
line bends. Here also the French
have held the Germans for nearly
ten days despite severe attacks. To
extend the battle front on the south
the attacking front probably would
include the li-e eastward from Mont
