CITY TO ANSWER
HUJN'SPEACE PLEA
WITH MORE BONDS
Harrisburg's Patriotic People
See But One Way to Re-
spond to Kaiser

Patriotic Harrisburg men and
women will pay no attention to the
latest German peace proposals.
There will be no peace on terms
such as are proposed by Prince Max.
The United States in this instance is
much in the same position as the
policeman who comes upon a man
who has just burned down an or
phan asylum. The murderer may
ask the policeman to excuse him
that he won't do it agaln-but he
goes to jail just the same. So patri-
otic men and women of the Harris
burg district will buy Liberty Bonds
as usual"
This statement was made this
morning by Chairman Andrew S.
Patterson of the Harrisburg Liberty
Loan district.
Against German Terms
THE vast majority of the per-
sons with whom | talked to-day were
absolutely against considering the
German terms for an instant" con-
tinued Chairman Patterson. But
have been told that in scattered in
stances some of the solicitors have
been asked by unpatriotic citizens,
Why should we buy Liberty Bonds
when peace seems so near?'
Peace is coming, it is true-but

retreating rapidly before General
Gouraud's troops. They are crowded
by General Bertholet's forces from
the west and in danger of being cut
off by the Franco o-Americans who
have crossed the Arnes river.
The enemy is not only hastily
abandoning the salient south of the
Suippe but is retiring north of the
river toward the Retourne river. In
spite of the risk, however, he is taxi
ing time to continue the useless de-
struction that has been character
istic of his retreat all along the
front from the Avre to the Meuse
By the advance of the Americans
in the direction of st. Etienne on
the Arnes,, all the German positions
westward on the line between st.
Etinne and st. Marie-a-py were
taken in flank and and menaced
with a turning movement. The con-
sequence of this was the general re-
treat of the enemy toward the north
east over the entire front from the
Suippe to the Arnes west of st.
Etienne.
General Debeney's troops, north
east of st. Quentin have taken sew
eral important points on the Hin
denburg line after violent engage
ments, and have completely broken
through the enemy's defenses here.
The Germans counterattack several
times unsuccessfully. Further sue
cesses were obtained on the linden
burg line east of st. Quentin.

Influenza and the fear that a gather
ing even of Liberty Loan workers
might cause spread of the conta-
gion, has resulted in the calling off
of the MONDAY luncheons which were
to have featured this weeks drive on
the homes of Harrisburg and. the
district.
The big drive on homes began to-
day, and several hundred men were
canvassing every section of the city.
in other campaigns reports were
made at luncheons each noon. There
will be no feeds" this time, But with
the entire district having been ap-
pointed a committee to go after the
Liberty Bond sales, and with daily
reports of the seVera' dozen teams
posted in front of the courthouse
interest will be maintained despite
the flu"

The Liberty Band is to play in front
of the courthouse each afternoon
from . to 4 o'clock. while the paint
ers place the returns on the big bulle-
tin. While this may draw crowd II

no contagion can result.
Team workers who started on the
homes drive to-day will report di-
rectly to their captains, before l
o'clock Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. The captains will report at
headquarters before 2 o'clock. Then
the returns go on the board.
Delaney Makes Request
Treasurer John NJ. Delaney, who
has kept tab" in all the Liberty
Loan campaigns to-day urgently re-
quested all workers to write plainly
in the space at the left of every APP
plication the name of the bond buyer
In past campaigns names have been
so miserably written that great con-
| fusion resulted. 1t is also necessary
| to write on the application the name
of the bank to which it goes. even
though the purchase be for cash.
Young Ladies' Sell Bonds
In the window at Liberty Loan
| headquarters to-day were two Girl
Scouts who sold bonds to many per-
/ sons who went in to headquarters
| They were Evelyn DuPree and Flor

"Shinny ON Your Own Side"
1t is urged upon members of teams
! that they stay in their own districts
in their bond sales. Crossing borders
will result in confusion and bad feel

Team captains are requested to
keep after their men, so that they
will report promptly.

say, the auto stopped. The trolley

So tightly was the automobile
caught between the two trolley cars
1t was necessary to back to the monu-

tracks diverge, to liberatc it.
After the second crash, which
knocked both occupants from the
car, Mrs. Jones was picked up off the
pavement, and Fir. Jones eXtricatet
