Intense Artillery Fire
Permits Slight Gain
by Huns at Cambria
BY .4ssoeialed Press

Washington, Jan. o. - Intense
German artillery fire on the Cambria
sector of the western front gave way
yesterday to a local attack by Ger
man infantry. Four Brit..;a adj
vanced posts near the Canal Du
Nord were pushed back slightly. On
the remainder of the front in 5crance
the artillery duels continue at vital
points. On the Italian front there
have been lively exchanges of ar
tillery fire and some activity by
raiding parties.
British and French airmen have
been very active, as where those of
the enemy and two-score niachines
are reported destroyed by the varI-
Gus war offices. British airmen have
dropped more than 500 bombs on
railroad stations. airdromes and
other military establishments hc-
hind the German lines in Flanders
and report the downing of eight
hostile machines in combat with the
loss of three. Enemy aircraft have
carried out further raids over the
Venetian plains and Padua has
again been subjected to a heavy
bombing from the air.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-01-05

Uncertainty still beclouds the
negotiations. Both sides have de-
clared certain proposals of the other
side did not meet with their ap-
proval. Russia has said the German
terms concerning occupied territories
could not be accepted and German
Chancellor Won Hertling announces
the Germans cannot move the con-
ference to Stockholm as Russia has
suggested.
The Russian position, coupled with
reports that the delegates of the GEN.
trail powers, and even of Germany,
were divided as to the question of
annexations, appears the stronger
one, but there is no indication that
Germany will recede, although II
has been rumored the leading Ger
man and Austrian emissaries had
returned to Brest-Litovsk with new
instructions. The speeches before
the Reichstag main committee OF
Chancellor Won Hertling and the
under secretary of the German for
eign office did not make clear
whether Germany would stand un-
alterably on the conditions to which
Russia objects.
Before the Reichstag committee
yesterday the chancellor admitted
that Germany had to deal with Incl
dents which might change the situa-
ton over night. Concerning the pro-
posed transference to Stockholm he
declared such action would lead to
great difficulties" adding that Ger
many was mot in a position" to per-
NIT the Bolsheviki to say where
meetings should be held.

New War Plants Will Be
Located Entirely in Middle
West, Policy of Department
By Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 5.-New plants
for war material production will be
located entirely in the Middle West
under the policy Of the War Depart
mcnt, which became known to-day.
Because of congestion in the east
untapped facilities beyond the Allie
ghenies have become necessary to
speedy production for the present
war. while sites at least 200 miles
from the Atlantic seaboard are re-
gsrded as good strategy in case of
future wars. f
Aircraft production. especially, is
being developed in the Middle West.
Most of the training schools for avi-
atcrs are in the west and south, so
that shipment of planes and engines
from factory to field involves less
demand on the railroads when the
factories are in middle western
cities.
Complete satisfaction With, the
progress OF the aircraft program is
expressed by officiaIs of the aircraft
production board. 'fs Nfxaf -
