Allies Hope to Crush
Bulgarian Army in Drive
By Associated Press

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The object
of the movement on the Macedonian
front is to cut off Turkey from the
other Central Powers. to crush Bull
garia and to free Serbia. Rumania
and the Jugoslavs of Southern Aus
tria.
The Serbs are fighting for the
restoration of their native land. The
Bulgarians already are having trou-
BILE among themselves and with Ger
many, Turkey and Austria. In some
quarters 1t is believed they may de-
sert their allies and sue for separate
peace, trying to save as much of
their acquired territory as they can.
The Bulgarians have killed many
thousands of Serbs and Rumanians,
but the forces of the Entente are as
sured of the ardent support of the
people who have survived the mas
sacres. Moreover the Jugoslavs in
Southern Austria are only awaiting
an opportunity to join the Allies and
free their homes from the yoke Of

WAR PRISONERS
in METZ DRIVE
HEAR OF PEACE
Discouraged When Told of
Offers Rejection by Ger
many's Adversaries

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Sept. 1S.-German
and Austrian prisoners taken in the
recent advance by the Americans in
this section displayed great interest
when they learned of the Austrian
ceal their discouragement, however,
on being told of it's rejection.
Stories told by the prisoners in
dicate a lack of harmony between
the Austrians and Germans and re-
fleet the lowered morale of the Gen.
trail Powers. They realize the hope
lessness CT success.
The Germans apparently never
expected to be ousted from the ST.
Mihiel salient. They had done much
work in building shelters and beer
gardens. and about the Souleveie
farm the country had been made to
look like a prosperous German
neighborhood with resorts where
townspeople might spend their holi-
days.
Little clubhouses were built and
equipped not wholly in keeping with
front line operations. The dugouts
and shelters of the officers were
fitted almost luxuriously, some of the
larger ones being fitted with bath
tubs and running water and lighted
by electricity. Outside of many of
them were little summer houses
where the occupants were accus-
toned to sit and drink beer.
When the Americans advanced
they captured German mess SER
geant who had been instructed to
pack up and leave, but who had un-
derestimated the speed of the Amer
lean progress He was carrying
quantity of beer and cheese, and
when he saw the Americans ap-
preaching, he did not run, but busted
himself like bartender and received
them standing behind a table on
which the beer and cheese were
'eady for consumption.

TO ATTACK NEW
STEAM RATES
[Continued from First Pagc.]

Continucd from First PaSc.1
started before the Public Service
Commission tomorrow and bids fair
to be interesting. 1t will be the iIrSt
time that rates of q public utility
here has been attacked in a long
period and the litigation may be fill-
ed with matters that will attract
wide attention.
The complaint filed few days ago
against the terminals, line shnd serv-
ice of the Valley Railways Company,
has been sent to the company for
answer under the rules of the COM
mission and anticipating formal COM
plants from residents of the West
Shore the company has engineers at
work making a physical valuation of
the properties and a study of the
conditions at terminals which are
crowded due to the sudden increase
of traffic caused by the Marsh Run
operation. Counter studies are un-
Ger way by residents on the com
pany's schedule and the number OF
cars in use.
, There IS no formal complaint
against The Harrisburg Railways
Company, except the Herring case
from last winter and the decision in
that is due within a short time. II
is believed that it will call upon the
company to make certain improve
ments in service. but will not touch
any fare question. The Quinn let
ter to Chairman Ainey about the
capitalization of companies in the
system is rot regarded at the Capitol
as formal complaint. The situa-
ton in regard to jitneys is that those
involved in the proceedings in the
Superior Court may run without
state certificates pending the appeal
which was made n supersedeas large
ly because there were no affidavits OF
violation of the commission order
filed. Other jitneymen are liable
to action by any one if they do no;
have certificate.
There are no complaints pending
against the electric rates or the tele-
phone service here, but the Harris
burg Gas Company is defendant in n
number Of minor complaints, chiefly
about extensions.
The Progress water complaint
cases will come up shortly as will
others involving water service In
Susquehanna and other townships
east of the city. while the Hummels-
town Consolidated Water cases will
he taken up finally next month. Mid
dletown's fuss was argued yesterday
and the commission disposed of the
Highspire water case by fixing a
valuation last year.
Scarcely a public utility company
In this city or vicinity has escaped
complaint before the state commits
sion in the last two years. Even
the railroads have been hailed be-
fore the Commemorative represen-
tatives.

Shade Tree Commission
Appointment May Come
Along "in Due Time

City Commissioner Gross, who
promised to introduce a shade tree
ordinance yesterday and did not, ex-
plains the failure to get this i'm port
ant measure under way with the
statement shat City Solicitor Fox ld-
vises him rhat Mayor Keister, under
the law, inust name the commission
and not having discussed the per-
sonnel of the commission with the
Mayor or his colleagues it was neces-
sary to further postpone action.
For several months the matter of
giving proper attention to the shade
trees OF Harrisburg has been under
consideration and it was understood
the general subject would be dis
cussed at the Erie convention OF the
League of Third Glass Cities, but II
it was taken up at Erie nothing has
been heard about it here.
Comm isstoner Gross now expects
to get the ordinance before city coun-
ell next week.
At the meeting of Council yester-
day Commissioner BURNETT observed
to Commissioner Gross:
Mayor if you don't trim the trees
in North Second street soon l won't
be able to wear my silk hat!"
Commissioner Gross replied, as his
colleagues laughed. We'll take care
of that in due time"

GERMANS WILL
YIELD GROUND
TContinucd from First Page ]

TContinucd from First rage
hurled the French and American
armies in that sector against the
enemy the movement was believed
to be but a counter offensive, and it
was thought Marshal Foch merely
had seized upon the opportunity
presented by the German offensive
begun on July Is to strike blow
that might defeat that effort to cap
ture Rheims and perhaps to drive
the German wedge nearer to Paris.
Viewed in the light of events that
have since transpired, the attack
against the Germans on July IS
really was the first step in mastery
campaign which not only has wrested
the initiative from the Germans but
has forced them back along the line
from Ypres to Rheims to virtually
the lines where they stopped before
they began their mightiest drive of
the war on March 81.
Hun Successes Wiped Out
With the exception of a narrow
strips of ground in the Flanders Sec
tor from east of Baupaume to the
st. Gobain forest and along the
Aisne between FauXaillon and
Rheims, the German successes of the
spring and early summer have been
liquidated. In addition, the Germans
have lost vital positions before Ar
ras and have been forced to retreat
from the st. Mihiel salient, which
for years stood like an arrow pointed
at the heart Of eastern France.
American, British and French
forces carried out successful ''nibb-
ling" operations all along the line
yesterday and won local tactical
successes at various points, The his
tory of Foch's campaign since July
s appears to indicate the Allies will
not hesitate long before striking a
new blow.
In Northern Russia, the Bolshevik
forces have been defeated by the
Allies, who are advancing south of
Archangel. In the far south, it is
reported from kiev, the Bolsheviki
were successful in number of COM
bats against the CZecho- -Slovak
armies, operating in the Volga region
and along the Black sea littoral in
the government of kuban.

Touring Car Collides
With Third,Street Trolley;
Driver Misjudged Distance

A Grant touring car containing
Roy Herr, Harrisburg engineer,
and his wife, living at 1900 North
Sixth street, collided with south
bound trolley car at Third and Cum
berland streets, early this afternoon,
severely shaking up the occupants
of the machine, but causing no in
juries. Passengers of the street car,
mostly women, were thrown into a
mild panic following the accident.
Herr, with his wife, returning from
a visit to Miff1in, attempted to cross
Third street at Cumberland ahead of
an oncoming trolley when the latter
failing to stop at that corner, ran
into the machine, demolishing the
windshield, breaking the steering
gear and otherwise damaging the gu
tomobile. The loss to Herr will
amount to about 500. Herr's eX-
planation of the accident is that he
considered the street car far enough
away to permit his crossing Third
street and his miscalculation of the
distance caused his undoing, he
said.

The latest call to patriotic service
for women of Harrisburg was re-
ceived this morning by the local Red
Cross chapter when it was asked
that 1900 property bags be made and
sent to National headquarters by De-
cember 1. This bag will be used by
wounded soldiers who are in hospi-
tails. 1t is imperatively necessary.
Red Cross officials say, that these
property bags be made just as soon
as possible to be rushed overseas.
Women who do not have the time to
make the bags have been asked to
furnish materials for the patriotic
workers. Mrs. Walter A. Dearth, 17l7
North Second street, has been placed
in charge of the new work.
A property bag, it is explained. is
made from pieces of washable ere
tonne or other fancy, colored ma
terial that is durable. The size is
about 12x1S inches. 1t is used by
wounded soldiers in the hospitals as
receptacle for their personal ef-
fects. These bags will be sent to
hospitals in France and England, 1T
is believed.
Accompanying the order from Di-
vision headquarters came instructions
for the making of the bags. Mrs.
Dearth, who is in charge, has stated
that she will be very glad to give
information in this connection to any
volunteer.
Chapter officials did not hesitate to
express their qualification when
they learned of the new order. 1t
means" said an official, that Harris
burg chapter is taking a place high
in the ranks of Red Cross organiza-
tions throughout the nation. We have
been given a big allotment, I be-
lieve, because the national headquar-
tors has confidence in our work.
