me, and 1 felt almost calm. Our ar
tillery had so torn up the German barb
wire that it gave us no trouble at all.
We walked through it with only few
scratches. When we reached the low,
sandbag parapet of the enemy trench
we tossed in few bombs and follow
ed them right over as soon as they had
exploded. There wasn't a German in
sight. They were all in their dugOuts.
But we knew pretty well where every
dugout was located, and We rushed for
the entrances with our bombs. Every
thing seemed to be going just as we
had expected it to go. Two Germans
ran plump into me as was rounding
a ditch angle with n bomb in my hand.
They had their hands up, and each Of
them yelled:

In line were called utility men. They
were to take the places of any of the
first four who might become casual
ties. In addition they carried two
Stokes gun bombs each. These weigh
nine pounds apiece, have six second
fuses and can be used In wrecking
dugouts. The ninth and tenth men
were sappers, carrying slabs Of gun
cotton and several hundred yards of
instantaneous fuse. This explosive is
used In demolishlng machine gun en-
placements and mine saps. The sap
pers were to lay their charges while
we were at work in the trenches and
explode them as soon as our party was
far enough out on the return journey
to be safe from this danger. In addi-
tion to these parties Of ten there were
three of us who carried bombs and had
orders to keep near the three officers,
to take the place Of any one of them
that might go down and meanwhile to
use our own judgment. about helping

In addition to the raidlng party

German trenches behind our lines.
Without either of those influences we
simply could not have left the shelter

An intensified bombardment from
our guns began just as soon as we
had climbed "over the top" and were
lining up for the journey across. "Lin-

It would be absurd to say that we

French war crosses have been dis

A large number of the recipients of

Some Hints on Canning

The July Farm and Fireside says:
Keep the water at a jumping boil
and do not allow the fire to die down
for an instant while cans are in the
canner.
Keep the cover on the Gamer
during every moment of the pro-
cessing time. Steam plays a large
part in cooking.
Greens or green vegetables are
most satisfactorily blanched in
steam instead of hot water. Use a
steam cooker or put the products in
a colander and set them over a ves-
sci of boiling water, covered tightly.
ITO prevent bleaching or darken-
ing of products packed in glass jars,
wrap jars in paper.
Examine jars and cans occa-
sionally during the summer to de-
tect any sign of fermentation. leak
ing. or swelling.
"The flavor is injured by letting
peeled fruit stand too long before
cooking"

THE RUSSIAN CRISIS

A NEW crisis has arisen in Rus
u sia, taxing all the sagacity of
allied craftsmanship. Such
great issues hinge on the outcome
and so little is known of the true
conditions within the country that
President Wilson, to whom has been
assigned leadership among the en-
tente spokesmen, is very properly
moving slowly in the matter. His
decision to back up England and
France in protecting the Arctic port
of Kola and the railway line to Pet
rograd, indicates his Willingness to
use armed force to repel the Ger
mans when the proper moment ar
rives.
There are indications that, while
the White House deprecates any
talk of Intervention, preparations to
that end have gone much farther
than appears on the surface and that
once the step is finally decided upon
it will be carried out promptly and
in force sufficient to make a formid :
able showing against any opposition
that may develop. The fact that
Americans have been in Russia for
some time is just now made known

1T WORKS AT SAN JOSE

- ANIFESTLY the test of city
MI manager administration has
Az been a success at San Jose,
which California city has just ended
a year and a half under the plan.
The list of accomplishments is i'm
pressive. Among these are saving
the salary of a treasurer by having
a bank act as treasurer, which at
the same time pays 21s per cent. on
city deposits; improved accounting
quadrupled; vigorous milk inspec-
ton, which has reduced the bacteria
in milk from 100000 TO $4,000 per
cubic centimeter; meat inspection,
which has modernized the slaughter
houses of the city, formerly very
bad; all but sixty-five houses in the
city connected with sewers; a fine
tathhouse built and in operation:
fire service improved until loss per
capita is the lowest in California;
better street lighting at less cost,
street railway company required to
observe its paving contract; central
purchasing esta blished. With all
these Improvements the government
ended it's first year and a half with
an unencumbered balance of s23,-
600 and with a tax rate reduced from
$1.22 to s1.20.
There is nothing in this list of
things accomplished which would
reflect in any way upon Harrisburg,
but there is a growing conviction
among all who are interested in
civic administration that the failure
of the city commission plan is the
division of responsibility among
several heads and the frequent shift
ing of obligation of one department
chief to another.

NEEDS OF THE Y. NJ. C. A.

" HE Harrisburg Y. NJ. c. A. is
asking for money for its next
annual budget and it should
have what it needs. The plant has
been reha bilitated and under the
new management the association is
fast taking its proper place in the
life of the community. 1t is the home
OF every soldier who comes to Har-
risburg, cots having been provided
for the many who cannot be accom-
rest and reading rooms and the
gymnasium and bathing facilities be-
ing at the disposal of the men in
uniform without cost. With the Sara-
ing of at least 1900 soldiers to gar
rison the two large war SUI ply
depots at New Cumberland and Mid
dletown, the war work of the asIc-
citation will be greatly increased.
Then, too, there is the purely local
work of the organization. This must
be kept up during the war for the
sake of our boys and young men and
the industrial activities must be
continued on a larger and more ex-
tended scale.
But that is not all. The Y. NJ. C.
A.. which is the soldiers home while
in the service. must be his refuge
when he returns. The association
must be ready to receive him with
open arms. Itmust be his club dur
ing the reconstruction period follow
ing the war and it must be ready to
receive him when he comes back.
He must feel that he can go to it as
freely in civil life as in the military
and that. if necessary. it will assist
him in procuring suitable employ
ment.
Now is the time for the "Y" or
CARNATIONS everywhere to lay the
foundations for this work, and money
is a prime essential.

1 do not think it will be out of

in the aggregate of such industries
now in execution in the country, yet
l win presume to say that If they
are all engineered on the principles
of New Cumberland, the nations ef-

ton concerning the department in

Our handspring, Mr.. Copeland,

Superintendent Brown to want any,

entire energy to backing the boys in

mark time for few minutes to give
the carpenters and eXcaVators a lit

Horton and Mullen see to it that the
interim is measured by seconds.
Sometimes the order, Hit the Kaiser

Editor, you ought to see the concrete

back to France and possibly carried

Getting on German NerDes
kansas City Timesl

A report from Geneva furnishes
ness of the Allied bombing opera
tions over the Rhine Valley. The
populations of the Industrial towns
that have been the targets of the
Allied airmen are leaving, house
rents have fallen 35 per cent and
the war industry of these places
is greatly demoraliZed.
These are the results expected
and their importance can hardly be
overestimated. When a working
population is kept from working,
not only by the destruction of plants
as occurred at Mannheim and Karls-
ruhe, but by sleeplessness and
shattered nerves, which effects have
been amply testified to. an appreci-
able slowing down of war activity
is bound to be marked.
One other result that was less
expected is as gratifying and per-
haps as important. The people of
the Rhine towns are reported to be
indignant at the German government
for falling to protect them from
bombing. They had felt themselves
secure and had been taught to be-
lieve that Germany had the mastery
the land. The discovery that they
have been deceived and that so
far from bringing England to terms
by striking terror from the air, Ger
many has now become the victim
of the same weapon, has not in
creased their faith in German pre-
dictions of victory. Bombing was
great game when Germany held the
weapons, but now that the Allies
have demonstrated their superiority
in the air the Rhine towns are ready
to cry enough.
They will cry louder soon. The
American air program is just get
ting into swing and it has a special
department on bombing of which
German war industrial centers will
learn something before many
months. Workers in these plants
are going to have an efficiency test
no training has prepared them for.
The best workmen's output will suf-
fer when he has his ear attuned for
the warning of approaching bomb
ers. even without counting the loss
of the time he will spend in the
cellar. The Rhine towns and all
Germany are going to learn some
thing of war that wasn't in the
hooks they have read.
