In announcing these figures. near

the United States has offered, both in
number of subscribers and in the
amount realized" said Secretary Nc

Few Loafers In Borough
Chief Grove Declares

With the exception of a few
cases Steelton has a clean slate
when it comes to loafers, accord
ing to Chief of Police Grove. The
police official declares that he has
found only few persons in the bor-
ough who are not employed at the
present time. Unprecedented high
wages and good working conditions
In the steel plant, the police official
says is largely responsible. In some
sections of the borough the popula-
ton is made up of foreigners and
negroes who are sometimes inclined
to become tired and refuse to work.
All these men the Chief says are
now working and there are no loaf
ers about. If by chance a man in
good health is found to be out of
work he is told by the police to Sc
cure a position at once. BY this
method the local department keeps
at work the few residents in the
town who are inclined to loaf.

AMERICANS WILL
MAKE GOOD, SAYS
BRITISH STAFF
Steady Stream of Yankee Re-
inforcements Is Coming
Faster and Faster

London, May 1S.-The following
summary of the military situation
has been given to the Associated
Press as representing the consid-
cred opinion of the British General
staff:
The situation on the west front
has been quiet during the last week,
except for minor raiding operations,
in which the allies, on the whole,
had the advantage.
"The momentum of the Germans
in the opening spring offensive has
been expended, but it is clear that
they are now boiling up for an
other big effort.
The longer the Germans wait the
more men they can put in from divi-
sions which have been resting and
reforming, and IL they wait only q
little while longer they will be able
to resume the offensive on the same
scale as before, when they opened
on front of fifty miles.
But they cannot wait too long.
The steady stream of American re-
Inducements is coming faster and
faster

usually marks the coming of blow
against the allied lines.
The enemy, it is believed in Lon
don, is preparing for a mighty at
tack greater in force If possible, than
the smash on March 81 along the
50-mile front southwark from
Arras. The Germans, however, are
having difficulty in filling up their
greatly depleted ranks, some div!-
sions having lost more than fifty per
cent--one seventy per cent-of their
affectiN es in the recent fighting. In
addition, the allied artillery is caus-
ing havoc with German preparations
near the front lines while their rail-
way stations and billets behind the
lines are under an almost continuous
rain of bombs dropped by allied air.
men.
Both Sides Gain Strength
Enemy artillery and man power
concentrations probably become
stronger as Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg leIays a new advance, but
the allied defenses gain strength in
the same ratio and a new source of
fighting power, the American army
grows in power. General Pershings
men are now on both the important
battle fronts-F'landers ana Picardy,
but in what numbers it is not dis
closed. Their coming, however, is
having a great moral effect on the
British and French and the longer
the Germans delay the greater will
the American aid become.
Aerial activity is the most promi-
nent feature of the news from the
fighting zones. French and British
airmen have dropped many more
tons of explosives on enemy military
targets while the Germans are be-
comins more active In attempts to
get behind the allied lines. In
aerial fighting the British have
brought down 35 German machines,
while British guns accounted for ten
more. Berlin claims the destruc-
ton of IS allied airplanes. Another
attempt to raid Paris Friday night
failed.
Yankee Front Is Busy
On the American sectors west of
Montdidier, northwest of TouI and
in, Lorraine the fighting also has in
creased The American position in
Picardy and in Lorraine are being
bombarded heavily by the Germans.
The artillery fire has fallen off in
the Toul sector, but American patrols
are active there.
A plot in the interest of Germany
has been discovered in Ireland. An
nouncement of this latest develop-
ment in Irish affairs was made in a
proclamation issued by the Lord
Lieutenant calling on all loyal Irish
men to aid the government in put
ting down the conspiracy. Four
prominent Sim Fein. leaders, includ-
ing Prof De Valera, the president,
have been arrested, as has DR.. Dill
lon. Three of the Sim Feiners were
active in the Dublin revolt in Easter
week of 1916.
The proclamation calls upon the
Irish to enlist voluntarily to aid in
maintenance of the government and
says measures will be taken TO
facilitate such recruiting. This NAV
be an indication that the government.
has decided not to enforce conscrip-
tion at once.

treat the Americans as negligible.
but the German staff does not un-
derrate them. II the German staff
had not taken the American Army
seriously, 1t is doubtful whether they
would hazard their whole future un
the dangerous expedient of spring
offensive this year.
The Americans will have to buy
their experience, but Americans are
good businessmen, and can be de-
pended on to buy in the cheapest
market and sell at the dearest price.
THE British staff is confident that
the American Army will make good
and that the American nation will
never let go until the end"

DEMONSTRATION

Workers Take Part in

was demonstrated in an impressive
manner last evening when several
thousand Red Cross workers and
schoolchildren marched in big pa
rade, marking the opening of ,the
Second Red Gross war fund drive in

The demonstration last evening

paraders took part and the interest
of the spectators emphasized the
fact that residents are working
shoulder to shoulder in doing their
bit toward carrying out the war
plans.
The parade, headed by the Steel
ton band, moved from Front and
Jefferson streets at 7.15 o'clock. In
the first section were Chief Marshal
Gerdes. his aids and members of the
five teams who will solicit contribu-
tions next week.

Red Cross Chapter made a splendid
appearance. The uniform step in
which the workers marched added
much to the attractiveness of the
section. Members of the Junior Red
Cross forming the larger section of
the procession were attired in white
and won the applause of spectators
all along the line of march. The
ages of Junior members who took
part ranged from to 16 years.
Pupils of each school building.
