accord with the regular army in points
where the act of 1913 did not cover, it
is stated that the new bill does not
make many changes in the infantry
arm, but does carry some provisions
whereby Pennsylvania can get more
artillery, cavalry, engineer and other
auxiliary organizations. It will carry
authority for organization of more
batteries, a branch in which the State
Is not up to what Uncle Sam requires, I
but which necessitates a big outlay of

MONDAY EVENING, HARRLSBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 8, 1015.
P. IR. SCHOOLS
PROVE BIG SUCCESS
Apprentices Receive Pay With
Education; Pamphlets Tell
About Big System
Interesting facts are contained in
two pamphlets issued by the Pennsyl
vania Kailroad Company on Saturday.
One tells about the success of the ap
prentice schools in Harrlsburg, Al
toona and other cities and the other is
full of statistics about the big railroad
system. Referring to the apprentice
schools,the pamphlet says:
"The Pennsylvania Railroad believes
in brains. It has been making invest
ments in brains since the company's
charter was granted in 1846. Five
years ago it made another such invest
ment in the brains of Its youngest
shopmen through the opening of an
apprentice school at the Altoona
shops: Thirty pupils were enrolled
then.
"To-day the company is sending 300
young men to school and paying them
for the time they spend there. Three
branch schools have been opened, in
cluding one at Harrlsburg. and so
great has been the success of the
whole experiment that plans are now
under way to extend the shool work
to all of the shops on the eastern lines
of the Pennsylvania system where ap
prentices may be employed.
"Thus far 151 apprentices have com
pleted the full three-year course and
have been graduated from the schools.
Approximately sixty more will be
added to this number by the class
going out this year."
Other facts about the Pennsylvania
Railroad follow:
"It has 11.729.92 miles of length and
26,200 miles of tracks, 230,000 em
ployes, 7,561 locomotives, 6,885 pas
senger cars. 281,590 freight cars and
68 steamships and ferryboats.
"Directly serves 15 of 48 States of
the Union and the District of Co
lumbia. whose combined population is
48,227,840.
"All except two of the ten largest
cities In the Union are directly on Its
lines—and its 4,500 stations are at
the command of 20 cities, each with
a population of more than 100,000;
150 each with a population of more
than 10,000 and 263 each with a pop
ulation of more than 5,000."
Railroad Profits Show
Decrease For January
Figures furnished by Edward B.
Smith & Co., Philadelphia and Xew
York bankers, show a decrease of
10.56 per cent, in earnings of fourteen 1
railroads during January. This tirml
also says: "In the last six months i
the Erie Railroad Company shows an j
increase of net income amounting to
$341,638. It is understood that the
financing of the company for the cur
rent year is arranged, subject to the
approval of the Public Service Com
mission."

probable that the station would be

EXPRESS EMPLOYES
HEAR TIMELY TALKS
Heads- of Departments Point Out
Mistakes in Shipments and
Other Branches
Employes of the Adams Kxpress
Company from points on the main line
and branches of the Pennsylvania
railroad attended a conference In Har
risburg Saturday. Representatives
from as far west as Greensburg, south
to Winchester.VVa t and York and
north to Lock Haven, numbering
forty, were present at two sessions
held in the old Harrlsburg Board of
Trade building.
This meeting was presided over by
Edward E. Sanford, general agent of
the Adams Express Company for the
Harrisburg district. The speakers
were O. B. George, general claim
agent. New York city; C. H. Packie,
superintendent of the money order de
partment, New York; L. S. Jacoby, su
perintendent of supplies, Jersey City,
N. J. .and W. H. Tunis, of the order
and food products bureau, Philadel
phia.
Mr. George spoke on the subject of
claims, original handling and final set
tlement. H eexplained the cause was
principally with the shippers in not
properly preparing tbeir goods for
shipment, in not properly marking
same, and also laid great blame on
the wagoninen and receiving clerks
of the company for accepting this
business in the manner in which
they do.
L. S. Jacoby, of the supply depart
ment. spoke on the use and abuse of
supplies. This feature of the business
requires great care, or the cost would
run away with the benefits. Marking
tags for the year 1913 cost the com
pany more than $20,000, said Mr.
Jacoby.
C. H. Packie, of the money order
department, instructed the agents in
the handling of money orders.
P. & R. HELPING TO
BOOM FOREIGN TRADE
[Continued from First l'agc.]
Tories for the purpose of encouraging
managers who have been content to
let their market be confined to merely
local fields to spread out and look be
yond their immediate horizons for the
trade that is coming to this countrj
as a result of present conditions In
Europe.
Among other things, the Reading
agents put the manufacturers in touch
with the proper authorities at Wash
ington who keep them posted on pos
sibilities of trade abroad. Every day
brings to those who desire it a govern
ment bulletin of developments and the
local manufacturer is given names,
addresses and dates upon which for
eign purchasers will be at given
points so that the two can get to
gether. New York and other exporters
are also brought into touch with inland
factory heads so that the requirements
of one may be met with the products
of the other.
Already there is quite an extensive
file of letters in Mr. Hilleary's office
expressive of the appreciation of the
service the Reading is rendering in
this respect and not a little material
benefit has been noted by those who
have taken advantage of the oppor
tunities thus offered.
BEGIN LAST LAP OF
IMPROVEMENT WORK
[Continued from First Page.]
more important work was rushed
through during the late Fall and early
winter.
On Paxton creek about 650 feet of
the concrete work remains to be com
pleted. Most of this is in the vicinity
of Reil.v street. For half of this dis
tance the invert, or floor portion of the
big gutter has been put down. Con
siderable grading is yet to be done
along the entire course of the stream.
At State street there Is a gap of fifty
feet or more which will not be closed
until last. It is at this point that the
water mains that lead to the Hill,
cross the stream bed and the question
of whether or not the pipes shall be
placed below the surface or raised
sufficiently to permit the ready flow
of the water beneath, is still to be
threshed out between Commissioners
H. W. Lynch and H. F. Bowman, su
perintendents respectively of the de
partments of streets and of public
safety. The concrete bridges over the
creek at Mulberry, Walnut, Cumber
land and Reil.v streets have already
been completed.
The Hiver Wall
On the river wall there is approxi
mately 8,000 feet of the paved walk
to be finished. This work should not
requiro more than a month or six
week according to the engineers of the
board of public works. The steps and
wall for the entire length of the city
were completed before the winter
shut-down.
"Just when the contractors can
start up on the wall job is dependent
on the weather conditions, too," said
J. D. Justin, principal assistant engi
neer in charge of the public improve
ment work, "but unless this Is un
usually severe, they should be in shape
to begin about the middle of March
or early in April."
The Gap at Market Street
At Market street there is still a con
siderable gap in the wall due to the
change in the plans which provided
for a steamboat landing at that point.
This is the only interruption on the
long stretch of improved river front
except at "Hardserabble." A scheme
for rectifying this will likely be de
cided upon before the whole job Is
ready for approval and it Is under
stood that a solution is now being
worked out. The paved walk along
the wall has been completed from
Iron alley up to that point.
So far as the contractor is concerned
work on the dam is finished and Skene
and Company who built the obstruc
tion, have been paid ofT and have left
the city. Some of the top slabs of
concrete are yet to be put into place
but this work- will be done by the en
gineers of the board of public works
just as soon as the weather and the
stage of the river permits.
How soon we can start on the pav
ing work for the year." said President
Frank Bosch of the Central Construc
tion and Supply Company, "depends,
of course, on the weather. These sun
ny days are all right until the condi
tion of the earth is considered. Then
it can be readily seen that the ground
ia in no shape for grading."
Market street from Nineteenth to
Twenty-first, and Derry street from
Twenty-third to the eastern city limits
will be the first sections that will re
ceive the contractor's attention, it is
understood. By the time the paving
contractor is ready to get busy on
Market street, the new formal en
trance and roadway to Reservoir at
Twenty-first and Market will be pret
ty nearly finished. About three
fourths of that job is already com
pleted. Other park work that will be
.auurtcd early will be tlio conalruotlot^

would be asked if the ambassador
did not send one to-day on his own
initiative. It was also expected in of
ficial quarters that the British Ad
miralty statement on the Incident
might cotno to the State Department
later In the form of an official com-t
munlcation. While the Incident was
discussed with Interest In official and
diplomatic quarters, there was no in
dication of what development It might
take.
Naval officers recalled that the navy
regulations permit a warship to ily
another flag than Its own but specifi
cally says it must be hauled down
and the ship's own flag must be
hoisted before a shot is fired. There
are many incidents in naval history
where that has been done, the latest
being the German sea rover Emden
which hoisted the Japanese flag just
before making a daring raid at Pen
ang. Experts in naval procedure re
called no case, however, where a mer
chantman was Involved.
It was recalled in naval circles here
to-day that when Captain Glass, com
manding the cruiser Charleston on his
way to the Philippines with a convoy
of troops stopped and captured Guam,
he ordered the Japanese flag to be
flown on his flagship and on the
other ships of his flotilla. He sig
naled this message to the steamers
Australia, Peking and Sydney, mer
chant ships under charter to the gov
ernment and in use as troop ships:
"Passing signal station at Guam,
Charleston will hoist Japanese colors;
other vessels same or none."
The deception was aided by the fact
that the Charleston was similar in
appearance to the Japanese cruiser
Naniwa. ,
All the authorities of International
law and the manual in use at the
naval war college justify the use of
other flags on warships.
Only a Few Instances
The records of international law,
however, contain few instances In
which the use of a foreign flag on a
merchantman has come Into a ques
tion. One Instance, though not In
time of war, came up during the term
of Secretary Sherman in the State
Department, in which the London
Board of Trade Intervened to stop
Improper display of a United States
flag. These are Secretary Sherman's
words:
"A line of steamers plying between
England and the United States under
the British flag has for some years
past used the United States union jack
as its house flag. Upon Inquiry being
made by the ambassador In London,
the British Board of Trade Intervened.
In virtue of Its authority In matters of
shipping and navigation, and I am
just informed that the line in question
has been constrained to adopt another
house flag."

eign relations committee, a White
House caller to-day, said that in his
opinion the flying of the American flag
by the Luflitania was an "improper
use of the flag." Senator Stone added
that it would be possible for Congress
to adopt a resolution protesting
against the incident, but that he
thought it a matter to he handled en
tirely by tho executive branch of the
government.
