More than half of the pocket be-
'ween the Marne and Vesle rivers
has been cleared of Germans and the
allies are driving the enemy still far
ther north.
Important gains are being made
by the French and Americans on the
sast and the French and British en-
he west. The German retirement

Pressure or the western and eastern

Allies Under Heavy Fire
The Germans are using artillery
md machine guns to stay the allies.
AS the French and Americans, who
nave advanced most rapidly, press
northward the German resistance
has become sitter. The enemy also
is making great use of his artillery
on the heights north of Scissors and
Rheims and is subjecting the sides
Of the pocket to an entilading bom-
cardment of great violence.
From west to east the allied line
now runs from Oulchy-la Chateau

Ourcq to Fere, thence through Sergy
and Goussancourt to south of Vile
to Bligny. North of Oulchy and

While many thousands are taking
advantage of our magnificent parks
in this hot weather the fact remains
that this department is so hampered
with lack of funds that calamity
stares ii in the face if Harrisburg
does not very shortly make provi-
sion to take care of the parks with
the same liberality II bestows upon
other municipal bureaus.
In u tour of scrutiny over the
roads OF the entire system, a Tele-
graph representative found, for ex-
ample, that V. Grant Forrer, who for
thirteen years has been the brains
and action of our park department,
needs perhaps $4,000 for planting of
new trees to replace those destroyed
by the recent destructive storms.
torrers program, If he could get the
funds and help, would also include
planting the Front street slope. from
rip-rap to the top, with beautiful
shrubbery, so that a pedestrian stroll
ling along our de luxe boulevard
would be attracted by the cheerful
greenery concealing the stone rip
rap. over in the island nursery
are thousands of dollars worth of
these shrubs and the longer they re-
main there the harder it is to make
them grow when transplanted. No
men, no money for the job. Hun
dreds of trees, too, those fine old
veterans. which so beautify the city,
need doctoring to preserve them and
this task cannot be attempted under
the circumstances.
Not only does Harrisburg refuse to
investigate and respond to the vital
necessities of the park department.
but some activities do not even CO.
operate in helping at this exigency.
This is illustrated along upper Front
street where Forrer is doing his best
to continue the wide substantial path
from Maclay to Woodbine street.
Chief Lynch, of the highway de-
partment, dumps his trucks with ma
terial for filling up, but the loads are
scattered over many blocks instead
of being concentrated where the park
departments diminutive squad of
workmen can set to and complete the
job.
improvements Needed
Speaking further for immediate
needs of funds, Grant Forrer pointed
out at Twenty and Market
streets, the urgency of planting there
shrubs and trees to complete the
screen, and the lily pond near the
pumping station is practically total
wreck for the lack of concrete bot
tom. In the last two weeks they have
dumped in many tons of clay and
of the best quality, but the basin still
leaks too much to hold water. With
the force and funds available Forrer
is certainly doing everything pos
possible to maintain the splendid sys-
TEN which prominent men of this
city in days gone by gave their time
and services free to secure. But the
vast plant will deteriorate in dozen
ways If funds are not increased. The
path from Maclay to Calder street is
finished and a very good job ii is,
but the rip-raping should also be
completed, for a winter storm may
tear the whole bank to shreds.
This last week called out the whole
of park workers and they are pitt
ably few, to help mend roads injured
by the heavy storms. This work
brought out wildly the necessity of
the city providing a binder compost
ton so that the park drives may be
made substantial. The prime show
for visitors to Harrisburg is a whirl

Allies Expect to Bomb

New York, July 29.-Although
the allies have the ascendancy in the

an aerial offensive on a grand scale

Samples of Poor
Housing to Be Torn

The demolition of two ramshackle
houses at 1917 and 1919 North Cam
eron street, owned by William ID
Peters, a farmer residing near Hum
melstown, has been ordered by the
State Fire Marshal
The houses are in tumble-down
condition, and are so bad that nc
rent has been collected for their use
for some months. The fire marshal
took action when neighbors complain
posed adjoining buildings. These are
samples of the houses that are fore
ing Harrisburg to give serious
thought to it's housing conditions.

Washington. July 29.-Seventy-five
thousand armed peasants are
marching on Kieff, capital of
Ukrainia, according to information
received at the State Department to-
day from Stockholm. Very serious
unrest in the Ukraine and surround
ing country was reported.
II was said that the Russian and
Ukraine peace delegates have been
unable to gree upon details of the
settlement between the two nations.
The Soviet government at MOSCOW
was reported in the advices to have
expelled from the capital all rela-
tives of the persons implicated in the
murder of Count Won Mirbach, Ger
man Ambassador at Moscow.

nitions which the Germans have
been unable to destroy or move
away Allied losses have been kept
at a minimum by the most exten-
sive use of tanks. Cavalry again has
taken a hand in the pursuit and low
flying airplanes have been haraSsing
the retreating Germans unceasing-
ly.
Berlin speaks of new positions
but does not indicate where they are.
The German command may elect 20
make stand on strongly prepared
positions south of the Vesle. OBJ
servers think the Vesle will mark
the retirement northward but the
river is shallow and runs northwest.
The Aisne, however, runs east and
west between scissors and Rheims
and with the heights of the Chemil
des Danes behind it would offer Gust
as strong a defensive position as It
did Immediately after the first battle
of the Marne.
Berlin Admits Nothing
In its official statement, Berlin
makes no admission of allied advan-
ces either Saturday or Sunday. Re-
porting on Sundays operations II
says the day was quiet except for
fighting on the Ourcq.
There has been heavy local hight
ing in the height region between
Rheims and Souain, east of the Marne
battlefield. but General Gouraud mas
held to his recent gains and smashed
German attacks. Prisoners captured
here by the French are reported on
officially to total 1900.
Other sectors of the western bat
tie front remain quiet and neither
side gives indication of any move
ment to affect the situation north of
the Marne. Raids have taken place
on PIE British front, the British be-
ing the successful aggressors.
Hindenburg Active
Official denial is made from Ger
man main headquarters that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg neither is
dead or in poor health. His health
is reported to be excellent.
Premier Lloyd Georges threat that
munition strikers not at work on
Monday would be subject to military
service probably will result in a set
tement OF the strike movement.
Strikers at Birmingham and other
places Sunday decided to return to
work pending further negotiations
Only small part of the industry has
been affected.
