New Steam Boiler to Be
Installed in Time For
Demands Of Next Winter

Satisfactory steam heating service
for Harrisburg during the cominu
winter season without the least sem
blance of conditions of last winter
is promised by the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company. Statements to
this effect were made public Thu
morning by C.. w. Kaltwasser, gen
eral manager.
The priority claims of the com.
pany for a new boiler with a So
horsepower normal rating has been
satisfactorily disposed of by govern
ment officials. An A-3 rating has
been secured after considerable de-
lay and the boiler is expected in
time to be installed before the win
ter season. This boiler, which is
capable of producing. 1,0O0-horse-
power, together with the other boil
ers of 4,000-horsepower normal rat
ing, will satisfactorily care for Har-
risburg's steam heating needs dur
ing the winter.
The plant of the concern is being
somewhat remodeled that there NAV
be no repetition of last winters un-
fortunate heat shortage. The four
stokers which were installed LAST
September and which were tho
cause of a large part of last winters
trouble, are being torn down ana
being thoroughly rebuilt. Two new
double fans have been installed and
two 150-horsepower turbines TO
drive them will soon be in position.

no comment upon the indications of
an impending German attack.
The first National Army division
has taken up a sector at the front,
General March also announced. 1t
is the Seventy-seventh, raised in New
York, trained at Camp Upton and
originally commanded by Major
General ]. Franklin Bell. It was
taken across under Major General
Johnson.
Divisions Trained
Five American divisions which had
been brigaded with the British for
training have been returned to
Pershing's command with training
completed.
One of these is the Thirty fifth
division, composed of Kansas and
Missouri troops and commanded by
Major General William M. Wright
when it left the United States.
General March disclosed that the
official reports from the Italian front
place the number of Austrians cap
tured at $4,000 and large amount
of war material. The line of the
Piave has been entirely restored by
the Italians and in some places has
been slightly advanced.
Commenting upon the return to
General Pershing's command of the
five divisions brigaded with the Brit
ish, General March said 1t showed
clearly the success of the plan for
using all facilities to give American
units their final polishing. 1t would
not have been possible otherwise, he
indicated, to have secured so large a
trained force for General Pershing in
so short a time.
Senators on the Military Commit
tee were told by General March at
their weekly conference that the ac-
counts of the large number of cap
tured Austrians for some unknown
reason were printed only in Amer
lean newspapers and not in any of
Europe.
The achievements of the Italians,
however, according to Senator'S, were
not minimized.
So far there is no information to
confirm reports, General March said,
that German troops are being sent
to back UP the Austrians.
Yankees Hold Own
+ Military opinion, General March
said, found the Austrian attack
faulty, because il was spread over so
large a front as to make 1t impos-
sible to carry through successfully.
The Austrian disaster which fol-
lowed is valuable to the Allies, not
only in a military sense, but psy-
chologically the chief of staff said,
because of its stimulating effect upon
Italian morale. both among the civil
population and the army.
The practical result in prisoners
and guns taken also was. of course.
valuable.
During the past week American
activities in France have been local
in character. but official reports show
that the Americans at all times and
places have more than held their
own. General March said, Fine ex-
amples of individual bravery are
coming in. he said.
