Battlefront of Death at Hands of Huns

With the American Army in
France, June lone of the most
pathetic instances OF the war so far
as America is concerned occurred in
little cemetery to the rear of the
Picardy front recently when an
American soldier acting as a pail
bearer at the funeral of several
American dead discovered mis- own
brother, Joseph Ash. among the
corpses. The brothers. members of
different companies, had met only the
day before at the front. joseph re-
mained there and was mortally
wounded that night, dying soon aft
erward. His brother was ordered to
the rear lines with a party of wood
choppers.
The wood choppers were working
near the cemetery at the time of the
funeral and the chaplain asked them
to be pallbearers. In the midst of
the service the chaplain read the

his best to get a shot home, but
Campbell kept circling and darting
at high speed. The battle continued
for twenty minutes before the enemy

Across Seas in May.
BY Associated Press

Washington, June Members of
the Senate Military Committee at
their weekly conference to-day with
War Department officials were told
by General March, acting chief of
staff, that opinion here is that the
Germans have reached their present
bjective-the Marne-and that they
probably now will dig in and pre-
pare for later drive, perhaps on
Paris.
With the Germans within forty
five miles of Paris, the situation, the
Senators were told, is serious. Mill

confronting the allies.
Gas Responsible
The Senators were told that the
rapidity of the German advance
since their offensive began last Mon
day, was unexpected by virtually all
allied military experts. Twenty Ger
man divisions, it was said, were
thrown against seven of the allies.
The territory taken during the last
few davs had been regarded as easily
defended and a comparatively small
force had been left to hold it.
Success of the enemy was ascribed
by the war council largely to i'm
proved use Of gas shell. Although
few new types of gas offensive have
been developed, the Senator'S were
told, the Germans are employing for

PROSPECT IS FOR
SPLENDID CROP
THIS SUMMER
Vegetation Two Weeks Ahead
of Normal For This Time
of the Year
TIME FOR WAR GARDENS
City Man to Vie With Farmer
if Good Weather
Continues
TIME FOR WAR GARDENS

All agricultural products. grains,
vegetables and small fruits, are prac-
tically two weeks ahead in their
growth in Dauphin county this year
Slightly below normal yields for
most grains is predicted while aver
age and better than average yields of
garden vegetables and some fruits
may be expected. The war gardener
will be in luck it was said, if condi-
tions hold out.
The wheat crop in Dauphin coun-
ty is much better than that of other
Southeastern Pennsylvania counties.
The crop. however. is only medium
apd will reach but S5 per cent. of the
normal yield. The fields are probably
two weeks farther advanced than
they ordinarily are at this time of
year.
The oats crop promises to be good.
1t is not. however, at this time far
enough advanced to gain a really
satisfactory idea as to what its
yield will be.
The corn crop at present is quite
problematic. Seed corn throughout
on the average this year than at any
time for some years. Many farmers
failed to secure tested grain and
many of them were the victims of
poor seed. Consequently much of the
county acreage is being entirely re-
planted while many more fields are
being planted after, that is, vacant
places in the corn hills are being
filled in with grain.
Good Crops Promised
Hay promises to be bumper crop
in the county this year. The growth
of the clover shoots now indicates
that the crop when harvested will
be one of the best cut in the county
during the past decade and a half.
The timothy grass is not far enough
advanced at this time to gain a def
mite idea as to what the harvest will
bring forth.
Unless some effective measures are
taken by county potato growers to
check the inroads of the flea beetle
and other bugs, a shortage of pota-
toes may result in this county. En-
aminations of many fields located in
all sections of the county reveal the
fact that various bugs have been
quite active on the leaves of the po-
tato plants. Numerous fields may be
noticed in which one-half of the
functioning surface of the plants
have been eaten away. If proper pre-
cautions are taken the potato yield
of the county will be excellent, but
unless the farmers exercise some
care, the yield may be far below nor
NAL.
Favorable Weather
AS a whole, the wet weather has
been quite favorable for the growth
of leafy plants, but decidedly un-
favorable for tuber plants. Radishes
and other small plants have not
thrived well. Many plants of this
nature are badly afflicted with the
blight. Lettuce, cabbage and other

BATTLING is DESPERATE

Having reached the Marne, the
German Crown Prince is now strik-
ing westward with all the force of
the great armies at his command
with the apparent purpose of forcing
the elimination of the Montdidier
salient and ultimately pushing in be-
low Amiens to cut off Paris from
the north.
So far. according to the French
official reports, his progress has been
small. despite most desperate efforts.
on the important front between
scissors and Chateau-Thierry. on
the Marne. indeed, the French have
been impetuously counterattackinS
and at points the enemy not only
has failed to advance but has been
forced to give ground.
Heroic Resistance
This was notably the case imme-
diately to the south of scissors,
where the enemy was thrown back
upon the Crise river. which runs in
an almost north-and-south line
through that town. Further south
the Germans had worked some three
miles west of the Soissons-Chateau-
Thierry road. and had taken the viii
lage of Chaudun. The French drove
in here determinedly. however. and
recaptured the place, which they
now hold. Ground also was won
from tho Germans just below, near
Very.
Still further south the German
advance had progressed somewhat
further from the main road, to
total of something like four miles.
Paris reports, however. that new
German attacks here, in the region
of Chouy and Neuilly, were broken
mp. the French maintaining their
lines to the east of these towns.
Stopped at Marne
The Germans seemingly have
made no attempts to cross the
Marne, and they have not yet taken
the important railway junction at
Chateau-Therry. Elements of their
advanCe. however. have spread out
slightly further eastward along the
north bank of the river. and they
are now accupying this bank for the
distance of approximately twelve
miles in an airline between Chateau
Thierry and Verneuil.
Rheims is still in allied hands. and
in general there seems to have been
but little change along the easterly
side of the new German salient. The
line runs northeastward from Ver-
neuil along the Dormans- Rheims
road and curves protectingly north
ward around the cathedral city.
Quiet at Scissors
No mention is made in the day's
report of further fighting northwest
of scissors, where the Germans were
successful yesterday in forcing back
the allied left wing in the direction
of Noyon, on the Disc. The night
statement of Friday showed the
Germans driven back across the
Disc. were they had crossed it at one
point. near Sampigny, south of
Noyon. and to have been held up on
the Noyon- -Blerancourt-S scissors line
Quiet prevails on the front except
