DRIVE ON I.ENS.
Tho flower of the British ormy In
France Is being hurled forward In a ter
rltio effort to capture Lens and thus crip
ple tho entire sjotcm ot the German
lines of communication.
The sixth day of the mighty battle,
whose chief storm centres lie between
Arras and La Bassee and In the Cham
pagne and Argonne regions, found no
lct-up in the power of the drive against
the two flanks of tho German army of
Invasion.
Concentrated fire from 600 French guns
Is battering to pieces the masslvo con
crete and steel defenses forming the Ger
man field fort of Tahure, the key to the
second line of the Germans in Cham
pagne. The bombardment, continuing night nnd
day without cessation. Is believed to bo
preliminary to another great Infantry
assault by which the French hope to cut
through the Kaiser's lines In the north
ern section of Champagne, thus sepa
rating the German army In the Argonne,
commanded by the Crown Prince, from
that which holds tho western flank ex
tending down to the "bloody angle"
formed by the Junction of the Olse und
Alsne Rivers.
In the lulls between Infantry assnults
and counter-attacks the great guns of the
Allies and Germans engage In shattering
artillery duels across fields strewn with
thousands of dead and wounded.
Every troop and supply train returning
from the front Is crammed with wounded
and the military hospitals are overflow
ing. La Bassee, Lens, Vlmy, Fampoux, Wll.
lerval, Merlcourt and scores of other
towns lying within the German lines be
tween Arras and the La Bassee Canal
are being pounded night and day by tho
guns of the British and French. A Ger
man salient extends west of Lens, and
this Is being hammered on the north
side by the British, while the French,
from their new position ut Hill lit) de
liver smashing attacks against the south
ern side.
Battered trenches, over which the Al
lies swept when the battle began on Ht
urday, are still choked with German dead.
The British and French are rel)lng upon
their artillery and the bayonet: the chief
hope of the German defenders is their
machine guns, of which they have hun
dreds. Fraley Refused New Trial
James Fraley, 21 years old, who shot
and killed his lS-year-old sweetheart,
Jennie E. McLoughlln, last November,
and who win convicted of second. degree

APPEAL TO PRESIDENT

BUSINESS MEN'S PLAN
Bourse Mass-Mcetinp; Adopts
Resolution Against Aban
donment of Swift Pneu
matic Transit Service
MAYOR JOINS PROTEST
The business men of this city will
enrry their fight to prevent the abandon
ment of the pneumatic tube postul service
to the President of tho United States him
self It need be. At a meeting In the
Bourse this noon a resolution of protest
was adopted und a committee was ap
pointed with power to present the reso
lution to President Wilson nnd to Post
master General Burleson.
Several hundred persons attended the
ma;s-moetlng, which was presided over by
George E. Bartol, president of tho Bourse.
Announcement was made that letters In
dorsing the protest had been received
frem prominent Phllatlelphlans, among
them Mas or Blankenburg, John Wana
maker, Nathan T. Folwell, president of
tho Manufacturers' Club, Receiver of
Taxes W. Frceland Kendrick and Fred
erick W. Chandler.
"Old Fog) Ism" was Mr. Wanamakcr's
characterization of the plan to discon
tinue use of the tube system.
"It will not be one step backward." he
wrote, "to cut out the pneumatlo tubes,
but It will be a full chapter of old fogey
Ism to employ any slower service than
the one that we have at present that Is
complained of."
Mr. Wanamaker said it was during his
administration as Postmaster General
that the pneumatic tubes were estab
lished, and he declared his belief that
It Is not possible In any other way to
gt such rapid, safe service as that ob
tained through the use of the tubes.
Mr. Bartol said the continuance of the
tube system was of vital Importance and
Its abandonment would reduce the effl
clency of the mull servlco In this city.
"If any change is proposed," he Raid.
"It should be In the direction of the In
stallation of a much larger tube between
the main office and the Bourse station
than we now have, and. If practicable,
the Bourse station tube should be ex
tended so as to deliver mall directly at
thecKillrjBadatermlnala."

DANIELS RECEIVES BIDS
ON 16 SUBMARINES
Now York Shipbuilding Com
pnny, of Camden, Offers to
Build Two U-Bonts
Tho New York Shipbuilding Company,
of Camden, today entered bids at the
Navy Department In Washington, for
the construction of two submarines. Bids
were opened today for the U submarines
authorized by the last Congress.
The New York Shipbuilding Company
bid only for the construction of two of
the undersea boats and the William
Cramp & Sons Shipbuilding Company, of
this city, did not enter any bids.
A submarine has never been built at the
New York Shipbuilding Company yards,
but It Is said that thero are facilities
then to undertake this work. Samuel
M. Knox, president of the company, and
other officials were In Washington today
In consultation with naval officials.
The submarines are to cost not more
than JWO.000 each, and the Camden firm
bid the limit. The Newport News Ship
building Company also bid tho limit.
There was very little competitive bid
ding. The Union Iron Works, of San
Francisco, controlled by Charles M.
Cichwnb, was the lowest bidder for the
submarines to be built on the Pacific
coast. The San Francisco's Arm's lowest
hid was J410.000.
It Is said, however, that the size of
the bla will have little to do with the
awarding of the contracts, as Secretary
Daniels may let them to one of tho high
est bidders In ordr to get Just what the
experts want and In order to encourage
other shipbuilding firms to begin the con-,
slructlon of submarines.
Ihe bids of the New York Shipbuilding
Company were:
Two of Class A, of 190 tons surface dis
placement, one to be completed In two
years and the second In 25 months, IKO.000
each.
The Newport News Shipbuilding Com
pany offered to build two of tho same
class, of (90 tons displacement, within
the same period and at the some figure,
and two of 490 tons displacement within
the same time and at the same price
Tho lowest bid for the Atlantic coast
was that of the Electric Boat Company,
of Qulncy, Mass., offering to build eight
or more of class 2, of 45S tons displace
ment, of the 37-M type, at 1535.000. One of
these boats would bo delivered In 20
months and tuo each mouth thereafter.
This firm olTered to deliver In 17 months
one boat of the 37-L type nt 1023.000, pro
vided It received the contract for eight
boats.
The Lake Torpedoboat Company made
a number of bids. Its bids and those of
the Electric Boat Company's are the
lowest. Because of the varied specifica
tions It Is Impossible to tell at this time
which Is the actual lowest bid.
MORE PARK MONEY ASKED
Fairmount Commissioners Ask S8C8,-
975 for Playground for 1910.
Increase of $33,036
The Commissioners of Fairmount Park
will need JS5S.975 to maintain the big play
ground next year and to provide for the
other places of recreation. The Commis
sioners today submitted their budget to
Controller Walton and the Finance
Committee of Councils, asking for an in
crcaoe of $33,031 over last year's ap
propriation. A large portion of the money asked Is
required for the salaries of employes,
gaideners and clerks. The amount aske'd
for park squares Is 1153,300, the same as
was appropriated for 1916.. Among the
principal items In the budget are the
following:
