SCHWAB 10 BRYAN
TALK SUBMARINES
[Continued From First Page]
gave him the views of the American
government on the building of sub
marines in this country for European
belligerents.
Mr. Bryan declined to disclose what
was the position of the American
government. He declared the ques
tion was not yet concluded, but was
"under consideration."
Sir. Schwab, accompanied by two
assistants, also refused to discuss
their mission.
"Mr. Schwab came," Mr. Bryan
said, " in response to our inquiry con
cerning the manufacture in this coun
try of ships or materials for ship
building."
Recent reports that the Bethlehem
Steel Company had contracted to
build submarines which would be
shipped abroad in sections, have been
variously denied and partially con
firmed.
The visit of Mr. Schwab, however,
revealed that the State Department
had taken official cognizance of the
subject, although Secretary Bryan an
nounced yesterday that government
agents, after a thorough Investigation,
had been unable to learn that any
work was being done anywhere in this
country in the construction of for
eign warships or parts thereof.
It was believed, however, that the
State Department desired to consult
with the steel company officials, so
there would be no violations of neu
trality if contracts were taken. While
the export of munitions of war, such
as guns, shells or ammunition, is not
prohibited by the neutrality laws, the
fitting out of warships or any armed
expedition from American soil would
Vie considered a violation.
MEET NEW MANAGER
More than a hundred employes of
the Harrisburg Light and Power Com
pany last evening got a chance to meet
informally the new head of the com
pany, C. M. Kaltwasser. general man
ager. who succeeded George B. Tripp,
at the December "booster" meeting.
Robert W. Hoy. commercial manager,
presided at the gathering and intro
duced Mr. Kaltwasser. Luncheon was
served at the close of the session,
r -oblems relative to the conduct and
development of electric service .and In
creased efficiency were discussed and
among tho d' part mental heads who
handled the topic from their respective
ends were Mr. Kaltwasser. Mr. Hoy,
L. L. Ferree, superintendent of con
struction; H. W. Stone, treasurer; H.
B. Low, superintendent of steam beat,
and 11. 11. Wilson, a representative of
the New VorH vfllce,
"F. M.—l never eat any breakfast at
all. 1 found that was the easiest meal
to do without.
"Miss T.—l generally buy beans for
3 Cents and bread for 2 cenls for
lunch: 1 seldom pay more than 7
cents."
One girl. Miss Packard says, .lives
oil one meal a day when she has to
pay for shoes or a hat. Many Kirls
frankly admitted that they counted on
their male friends to buy their Sunday
dinners. A girl of 23 had taken no
vacation for six years because she
could not afford to lose her salary for
a week. A woman of forty, without a
vacation for twenty-five years, cannot
think of stopping work for a month to
take a rest which she needs.

European War Great
Boon to American
Music Instructors
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, Dec. 2.—The Euro
pean war is proving a great boon to
American musicians, composers and
teachers, according to Dr. Henry A.
Clark, professor of music at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who yester
day addressed the annual convention
of the Sinfonia Phi Mu Alpha Frater
nity.
"The war has been the means of
overthrowing the great European fe
tish which was held sacred by Amer
icans," he said. "Formerly no Amer
ican artist could appear as a soloist
with an orchestra unless he could
claim foreign finish. The American
public is beginning to see the true
worth of their artists and will here
after furnish the support which they
have been so long denied."
Canoeists Worry About
Housing For Their Boats
Canoeists and motorboat men who
have been housing their boats at the
two big pavilions in the "Hard
scrabble" district have been curious,
and even anxious, as to what arrange
ments may be made for suitable places
for keeping the craft.
Notices have been sent to the "Hard
scrabble" property owners to submit
to the city an estimate of what they
wish in the way of damages when the
city formally opens Front street to
low water mark. After the usual
court procedure, appointment of view
ers, etc., it is expected that the official
notification to vacate will be given and
April 1 fixed as the time limit.
At the park offices this morning it
was said that arrangements for hous
ing the canoes and boats would, of
course, be provided. Whether the
structures would be permanent or
merely temporary had not been de
cided. It is understood, however, that
a permanent concrete boathouse will
be erected by the park department
somewhere between Mulberry and
Market streets and probably one far
ther up town.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
CITY FORESTER JOB
WILLITGO BEGGING
Taylor's Scheme Subject of Com
mendation Throughout Mu
nicipal Circles
Many applications for the position
of "City Forester" have already been
received by letter by City Commis
sioner M. Harvey Taylor. Most of
these are from young men just a few
years out o." forestry schools who are
equipped with both technical and
practical training.
The superintendent of parks Is con
sidering nil favorable applications
however, and will not announce his
decision until he inquires fully into
the qualifications of all applicants.
The position pays SI,OOO a year and
the park head is determined, lie said,
to get the city the very best for its
money.
That Council has decided to try out
the city forester plan by placing that
official under the park department's
jurisdiction rather than a shade tree
ciommission, was a subject of commen
dation in view of the explanation
Park Commissioner Taylor gave be
fore iiis fellow commissioners yester
day. Mr. Taylor pointed out that if
the city had adopted the shade tree
law, the move could never have been
counter-acted unless the I-iegislature
repealed the law; the creation of the
office of city forester, on the other
hand, was by ordinance, an act of city
council that can be repealed any time.
The other important point brought out
bv Mr. Taylor was that principal idea
after all, was protection and care pf
trees and that this could be done as
readily by the forester under the park
department's jurisdiction as by a
shade tree commission—and without
Imposing expense on the individual
property owner.
PROGRESSIVES OF
32 STATES MEET
Perkins and His Fellows Keep
Stiff Upper Lip; Won't
Disband
By .Associated Press
Chicago, Dec. 2.—No outward hint
of lack of enthusiasm for tho Progres
sive party was manifested to-day by
leaders from thirty-two States who
met in conference with the members
of tho executive committee of the or
ganization.
K ports that disbandment of the
party was a possibility which char
acterized as idle fancies and that there

Progressives with either the Repub
lican or Democratic party was equally
ridiculed.

chairman of the executive committee,
presided at the conference which first
listened to the State chairmen who
lold of political conditions. After
these talks it was the intention of the
executive committee to go into session
and take what action was thought nec
essary.
Speaking for the executive commit
tee O. K. Davis answered a question
concerning the possibility of a mes
sage from Colonel Roosevelt by say
ing:
"Colonel Roosevelt never has been
a member of the executive committee;
he never has been asked to attend a
meting of th committee; he never has
sent a message to the committee and
he is not expected to send one now."
The following members of the exe
cutive body were present when the
conference began: George W. Perkins,
o" New York; William Flinn, Penn
sylvania; Walter F. Brown, Ohio, and
Jane Addams, and Medlll McCormick,
Illinois.
Among the more prominent leaders
In attendance were E. A. Van Val

Pennsylvania; Victor Murdock, Kan
sas, and Frank H. Funk, of Illinois.

"THE DUMMY" SEEN
IT.THE RUSTIC
Two Children Starring in Detective
Comedy Win Plaudits and
Many Curtain Calls
Seldom, Indeed, if ever, have so many i
curtain rails been received by any !
company presenting a play at the Ma
jestic as were received by the I'lay Pro
ducing Company which last nlKlit pro
duced "The Dummy," a detective com
edy in four acts. The play was written
by Harvey .1. O'Hlggins and Harriet
Ford, who but a few years ago present
ed another detective drama, "The
Argyle Case," produced with the as
sistance of Detective Burns, and
starring Robert Htlilard.
"The Dummy" has as its plot the kid
naping of a child of wealthy parents,
and her return through the agency of j
Barney Cook, a typical New York !
East Hide messenger boy, who wanted |
to he a "iletectufT." Barney is used as ,
a. deaf and dumb boy, who through a j
plan .employed by the detective agency, j
Is kidnaped and held in the same house
with the little girl. Through the in- j
formation he gains lie is aide to convict !
the kidnapers and aside from return- |
Ing the child to the parents is reward
ed with a handsorrie fee.
Much has been said from time to j
time against the acting by children, but i
any one having see "The Dummy" can- [
not fail to realize that the work of •
Ernest Treux, as Barney, and Joyce
Kair, as Beryl Meredith, places child
acting upon an entirely different plane,
removing it from that point where
criticism can be leveled against it. The
whole play rests upon these two youth- ;
ful characters and to say that they j
captured the audience - with the charm j
of youth is expressing it all too mildly. ;
The entire company of "The Dummy" j
was without doubt one of exceptional j
ability and balance. The lesson of kid
naping was excellently brought out, I
but not in such a way as to become ]
sordid. The play was produced with j
careful attention of detail and in the ,
portrayal of character the company |
was especially efficient.

CAN - DISARMAMENT OF AIX
NATIONS BE EFFECTED?
Whenever talk of the re-establtsh
ment of peace after the present war
comes up, disarmament or the reduc
tion of armaments is sure to be an Im
portant issue. Just how the nations
shall effect a program of disarming is
a vexed question. The Encyclopaedia
Britannica cites as "the only exist
ing case of contractual reduction of
armanents," the Disarmament Agree
ment of May 28, 1902, between the
Chilian and Argentine Republics. By
this agreement the two governments
arranged to reduce their fleets "ac
cording to an arrangement establish
ing a reasonable proportion between
the two fleets, and respectively prom
ised not to increase t.leir maritime
armaments during live years, unless
the one who shall wish to increase
them shall give the other eighteen
months' notice in advance."
The Britannica authority points out
that an agreement of this kind is
more feasible among states whose na
vies are small, because in the case of
large navies it would be difficult to
agree on a principle for assessment of
the proportionate lighting value of the
respective fleets. Even comparatively
slight differences in the ages of ships
may make great difference in their
fighting value.

HUGE REIN FORCED-CONCRETE
SMOKESTACKS.
Four reintorceii-concreto smoke
stacks, each 185 ft. in height, have
been erected at a l.ong Beach, Cal.,
electric plant. They si rve as a strik
ing example of the advance which has
been made in concrete construction
work, and the position it is assuming
in the development of American
cities. One of these immense struc
tures, a tall, white column which may
lie seen for miles along the water
front, is shown in a full-page illus
tration appearing in the December
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
photograph was taken from the top of
a companion stack and gives the
chimney the appearance of being
larger at the apex than at the bot
itom. The reason for this is that in
i taking the picture the camera was
tilted forward, making' the structure
| seem to taper from the crown down
| ward.
HORSE-BORNE UTTER FOR CAR
RYING WOUNDED.
; For the transportation of wounded
soldiers when conditions are such as
'to render the use of an ambulance im
j practicable, a double litter for carry
ing two persons has been Invented,
; which may be strapped to a horse's
back. Tlie device is described with
I illustration, in the December Popular
l Mechanics Magazine. Two ordinary
I stretchers are suspended, one on
j either side of a horse, by canvas
straps attached to heavy springs
which fasten to a pack saddle. Sec
tional bars extend in frpnt of and be
hind the animal, forming a frame
work which holds the stretchers se
curely, while a breeching and breast
strap keep the apparatus in place
wli<n It is being carried up or down
a hill. The two springs upon which
the whole contrivance Is swung ab
sorb the jolts, and brace straps, con
necting with the harness underneath
the horse, prevent a swinging motion.
