Great Allied
Offensive to
Come in Fall


Washington, July 19.-Eight divi-
sions Of American troops are believ-
ed to be represented in the allied
lighting on the Aisne- Marine front,
according to information given to-
day TO members of the House Mill
tary Committee in their weekly con-
ference with General March, chief
of-staff.
Ii was stated that the drive now
the preparations for the great allied
Offensive planned for later in the
wear.
Details of the fighting are lacking
because dispatches from General
Pershing have been greatly delayed.
General March and Assistant Secre-
tary Crowell who participated in the
conference. expressed their sratitica-
ton over the part American troops
are playing.
Shipment of supplies to the Ameri-
can lighters is progressing satisfac-
torily General March told the COM
mittee and the time made by trans
ports has materially improved dur
ing the last few weeks.
1t was made plain to the commit
tee that while eight divisions prob
ably are represented in the lighting,
that is not taken to mean that that
number actually is engaged in the
com bat. The best trained men, how
ever, are believed to have been pick
ed for the operation, the committee
was told.

British Transport Sunk
by German Submarine OFF
Irish Coast; All Saved

New York. July 19.-The British
transport Carpathia. 1868 tons
gross, has been sunk by a German
submarine off the Irish coast while
outward bound from a British port,
il was learned here to-day. So far
as known here, no lives were lost.
The Carpathia was owned by the
Cunard Line. Prior to the war she
was engaged in transatlantic serv-
ice.
Although i'm the service of the
British government, for several
months, the Carpathia has been used
as an American troop transport. Her
last departure from an American
port was in June.
The Carpathia was built in 1908
at New Castle, England.
II was the Carpathia which an
swered the wireless S. o. S. call of
the White Star Liner Titanic in
April, 1912, when that vessel hit a
submerged iceberg on her maiden
voyage to New York and was sunk
with heavy loss of life. The Carpathia
picked up and landed at New York
$50 survivors of the Titanic.
The Carpathia also was one of the
first merchant steamers to appear in
American waters armed against
submarines.

MEN WHO TRAINED
AT CAMP MEADE.
ARRIVE in FRANCE.
Dauphin County Lads Go
Overseas With Major
General Kuhn

Hundreds of Dauphin county
youths have landed safely in France
to give the Germans a further taste
of that which they received more
than they could swallow yesterday
and from which to-day they are
showing such ardent desire to with
draw.
Most of these scions of Dauphin
county stock are enrolled on the rec
oTds of the Three Hundred and Six
teenth Infantry, which had been To-
Gated at Camp Meade. Others are
included in the membership of the
Three Hundred and Fourteenth In
fantry, the Twenty eighth Engineers
and other units, composing the Sew
entH-ninth division, notice of whose
arrivals has just been received. Ma
jor General Kuhn is in command
of this division. Practically the en-
tire membership of the division is
made up of Pennsylvanians.
The Seventy ninth departed for
France several weeks ago. An
nouncements of their arrival, how
ever, have just been received in Of
ficial headquarters.
Most of the stalwart Dauphin
countians have been training for the
grim duty of war on the other side
since last November, although some
of them have been drilling and per-
forming all duties required in the
making of a soldier a less period of
time. This division now composes
one of the best trained to be sent
across to help whip the Hun into
submission.

Not since the night following the
day on which Schley smashed up the
Cervera's Spanish feet at Santiago,
back in 1898. did Harrisburg have
such an impromptu celebration as
that of last night.
The Telegraph gave TO thousands
of Harrisburgers first knowledge
that the Americans were attacking
successfully and the news kept filt-
ering in over the wires until about
10 O'Clock. it became apparent that
the Americans and French together
had achieved a great victory.
Then the railroad whistles cut
loose, bells were rung and the fog
horns on the munitions mills roared
out their alarm. Hundreds of early
sleepers reused from their slumbers
thought it was a fire until a jocund
yard engineer unable to restrain
himself and seeking an outlet for
his feeling through his whistle rope,
went out across the river footing
something like this:
oot-i-toot-toot! Root-i-t o [ =

taken up by other whistles and old
sttakers who had heard fire whistles
