ALLIED VICTORY
SEEN IN COUNCIL
OF WAR LEADERS
German Success Only Tempo
rary, Due to Collapse of
Opponents in East

London, June 5.-The supreme
war council, which has had under
advisement the entire war situation,
has expressed in an official statement
made public last night, full conf
dence in the outcome of the war
with the aid of the American forces
Complete confidence in General
Foch is also expressed and tribute is
paid to President Wilson for his CO.
operation in the work of transport
ing and brigading American troops.
The council held it's sixth session
under circumstances of great gravity
for the alliance of free people," says
the statement. THE German govern
ment, relieved of all pressure of the
Russian armies and people, has con-
centrated all its effort in the west.
THE advantage it possesses in its
strategic position and superior rail-
way facilities has enabled the enemy
command to gain some initial sue
cesses. 1t will undoubtedly renew its
attacks and the allied nations may be
still exposed to critical days.
after a review of the whole posi-
ton the supreme war council is con-
vinced that the allies, bearing the
trials of the forthcoming campaign
with the same fortitude they have
SNSt CAhlbltCu AL dClSHoC VI IllC Il6 II -,
will battle the enemy's purpose and
in due course bring him to defeat.
Confidence i'm Foch
Everything possible is being done
to sustain and support the armies in
the field. The arrangements for unity
of command have greatly improved
the position of the allied armies and
are working smoothly and with sue
cess. The supreme war council has
complete confidence in General
Foch.
Thanks to the prompt and cordial
cooperation of the President of the
United States, the arrangements
which were set on foot more than
two months ago for the transporta-
ton and brigading of American

waited by the fact that a schoolhouse
is located in that locality and chill
dren often are crossing the street.
While conditions are worse at night
than they are during the period OF
light, nevertheless these latter are
none of the best. 1t is incumbent
upon city officials to act before any
fatalities are reported in the section.
At present there is little or no po-
lice protection there and few arrests
have been made.
The speed evil is the worst of the
traffic violations in the Derry street
section, but noise-making there too
is quite common. Citizens are maxi
ing many complaints concerning it.
Ordinances Are Bad
Commenting on the traffic condi-
tions in Harrisburg this morning,
Mayor Keister said that city ordi-
nances are in a bad shape. None of
them are codified and few city po-
hcemen really know what they in
clude. Traffic ordinances are no ex-
ception, according to the Mayor.
Frequently" he said, "city po-
licemen make arrests and bring their
prisoners to the police station and
inform us that the prisoner has vio-
lated city ordinance. He does not
been violated, but he says that a city
ordinance has been violated" That
is the reason, according to Mayor
Keister, that a new traffic ordinance
is before City Council,
Prominent. citizens when queried
to-day were unanimous in their dis
approval of the noisy conditions that
exist. Those seen to-day all acknowl-
edged that the conditions existed and
that the sooner they cease TO do so
the better it would be for Harris
burg.
Mrs. William II. Henderson, 25
North Front street, president of the
Civic Club, is in a position to know
by reason of her place of residence,
of the abominable conditions at night
along Front street Conditions are
worse at the present time than they
have ever been, she says.
Our sleep is disturbed way into
the night she said, by the raucous
noise and it is entirely unnecessary"
She will be glad when the nuisance
Is brought to an. end.
