German at the Uni versity of Rochester, refused this morning to teach his classes, explain ing to them that under the present cir cumstances he felt unable to do so be cause of the sinking of the Lusitania by a German undersea boat.

He said he intended to prepare a statement for the press at a later date. Previous to coming to Rochester Dr. Coar was professor of German at Adel phi College, in Brooklyn.

HARRISBURG tfSfjfo TELEGRAPH TELLS CITY COUNCIL HOW INTS MISBEHAVE Forester Mueller Gives Commis sioners Entomological Tips in Asking For More Funds City Council got some entomologi cal tips on the lives and habits of plant lice, ants and other things that eat tree leaves and so on, from City Forester Mueller this afternoon when that official made another plea for more funds to run his department gen erally, and to provide men and fluids for spraying particularly. The forester brought along several bits of twigs and leaves, one of which he got from the city pipe line plant; each contained heaps of tiny things that Mr. Mueller referred to us various plant lice, green lice, black line maple scale and so forth. And while Council sat back and lis tened carefully Mr. Mueller told how | the plant lice manufacture a fluid called "honey-dew" and then wrap their young In the tender leaves to feed them; and then of how the ants I crawl up the trees and grab the lice and the honey-dew and take them down to mother earth and treat them like cows. The honey-dew is served to the baby ants like milk. Council evinced a desire to help the forester with more money if the money could be found and It will be up to City Commissioner Gorgas to find It. In the meantime Commissioner Taylor said the forester's work wil be carried on in the parks and paid for out of the park maintenance fund; the care of trees on the streets cannot be taken care of further, he said, until Council provides funds. Council passed finally the ordinance granting the Philadelphia and Read ing the right to a grade siding cross ing iw Tenth street with the stipula tion that It care for the sewers and water pipes that may be affected; the ordinance authorizing an exchange of land in the Thirteenth ward to give additional room for Royal flrchouse was passed Anally, and the measure authorizing the extension of the Mar ket street sewer from the Square to Court street was passed finally.

Germans Say British Fired on Each Other By Associated Press London, May 11. 1.50 P. M.—The British official press bureau to-day issued this announcement: "The following statement, dated Rer un, May 9, has been officially circu lated by the German wireless stations and received by the Marconi com pany: " "The main headquarters reported some weeks ago that a large number of reports were current which origi nated in Norway to the effect that near Bergen, on the Norwegian coast, dur ing the night from the Tth to the Bth ol April, heavy sea righting between English and German ships, had taken place. Ships coming from that direc tion also reported that they had seen squadrons of warships, un the night in question gun tire by the aid of illu minating rockets had been noticed. " 'With regard to these reports some light now has been thrown on the matter by the commander of the sub marine A E-2 3. which was destroyed in the Dardanelles. According to a let ter which came into our possession re garding the North Sea fight which is said to have taken place, the British battleship Superb is said to have been sunk and the cruiser Warrior is said to have been sinking, without the Ger man navy having suffered any loss. On Friday. April 9, a number of cruisers arc said to have arrived in a badly damaged condition. The Lion was very badly damaged. Official reports say ] nothing of this. Other Reports Received " 'Similar reports have come to hand from reliable neutral sources to the effect that a number of badly dam aged and slightly damaged ships had reached English ports for repairs. The manner in which they had been dam aged has been left unexplained. "'An especially large number of damaged ships ran into the Tyne. A damaged cruiser was towed into the Tyne. A ship of the Lion class with a starboard list and with her aft funnel missing was towed into the Firth of Forth. " 'The s.ilence of the admiralty on all this is easily to be understood. AS the German navy took no part in any fighting on the night in question and | as a fight with neutral vessels is out of the question, a battle can only have I taken place between ships of the Brit ! Ish fleet which did not recognize each ' other in the darkness.' "The secretary of the British ad miralty states that there is not a wore of truth In this fabrication. It is however, interesting as a mark of the anxiety of Germany at the present mo ment to make an impression on neu tral states." FOFR DKAD IX RIVER East Liverpool, Ohio, May 11.—Four persons were drowned here to-day when a yawl in which they were pas- Isengers became caught in the current In the "Bear Trap" and was swept over dam No. 7 in the Ohio river at Midland, Pa:, near here.

Increase Price on Head of the Typhoid Fly The house-fly this year is to have a tougher time of it than usual; the price on his head is to be increased. For the last several years being a typhoid-footed fly hasn't been a cheer ful job by any means; the number of fly-swatters have increased as research has developed new cussedness of the fly. June 1 the annual fly-swatting cam paign of the Civic Club will begin and instead of the usual prizes offered by that department Just twice as m|lcn gold will be offered through the gen erosity of the "Globe" Clothing House. Benjamin Strouse, of the "Globe." has offered to help the Municipal depart ment of the Civic Club by duplicating the fly-swatting campaign prizes. Nor Is this all, Mr. Strouse. on behalf of the "Globe," is giving away .1,000 tly-swatters. And when the fly bitterly recalls that every "swatter" may be wielded by a husky, gold-seeking youngster, can von blame htm for cursing the fate that has de creed that he shall be the swattee?
