PENSION PLAN FOR POLICEMEN LIKELY Harrisburg Cops May Be Provided For in Old Age If Bill v Becomes Law * —— , Adoption of a police benefit-pension system similar to that under which Erie's department Is working may be established in Harrisburg if the mu nicipal civil service bill is approved by Governor Brumbaugh. While in this city yesterday attend ing a session of the State armory board. Mayor Lewis J. Stern, of Erie, I discussed with Mayor Royal the police | pension system in the Lake City, and | explained its methods of organization ! and operation. The Erie chief magis- | trate promised to send Mayor Royal. data on the subject. "If the civil service bill hecomes a I law the pension plan could be ad mirably worked out I think," said ! Mayor Royal, "and I have asked Mayor • Stern to send me all the information about it he may have. I think the ■ plan will he advocated for the police- ' men in Harrisburg, too, although I ' can probably talk more intelligently j on that matter after I've secured the ; necessary information from Mayor Stern—and after the civil service bill is approved by the Governor." Policemen Help Themselves In discussing Erie's system Mayor Stern said that the policemen or ganized the whole movement them selves after the mayor and the chief of police had offered some suggestions. | In brief the system provides for the accumulation of a fund of at least ! $15,000 before any pensions are paid.! The Erie "coppers" raised $2,300 alone! at a ball held for the purpose. "Each officer, I believe," explained , Mayor Stern, "pays in a certain sum every week which goes to swell the! general fund. Pensions will be based i <sn tenure of service. For instance, a 1 man of a certain age who has been in the service for twenty years will be j entitled to an amount equivalent to a certain percentage of his salary: for! twenty-flve years' service, the pension j will be increased. Furthermore, the ' pension fund pays death benefits of i $250. "In many communities, as one can i easily understand, many of the offl- j cers would hesitate to pay in any money toward a pension fund," con tinued. Mayor Stern, "for the simple reason that they have no assurance that their jobs would last if the politi cal complexion of the city adminis tration should change. I'nder the proposed civi! service regulations all this could be changed." MESSAGE IS FIRM, BUT IN FRIENDLY TERMS [Continued from First Page.] as a matter of information as soon as copies would be obtained. It is known positively that the I'nited States government has had no conversation either in Washington or in the foreign capitals with other governments concerning the note or the course that will be pursued should Germany refuse to comply. In some quarters friendly to Ger many, the impression prevailed that the Berlin government would accede to the American demands and state its expectation that the QilM States would endeavor to secure the unre stricted passage of foodstuffs and con ditional contraband consigned to the civilian population of Germany. Will Deliver Copy When the note is finally dispatched to Ambassador Gerard a copy of it will i be delivered here to the German em bassy. It will be transmitted via Rome and ] Vienna and in all likelihood may not! be presented to the German Foreign ' office before late to-morrow because of the time that would be required for deciphering it by the American em bassy staff in Berlin. Although no mention is understood to be made to the time when a reply is expected from the imperial govern ment the belief here is that the Ger man Foreign Office, realizing the state! of feeling in the United States, will answer promptly. No Specific Demand Officials who have seen the note made it clear to-day that It makes no specific demand for financial repara tion for the loss of American lives, but asks reparation in general terms and avoiding any impression that the loss of Americans on the Lusitania could he atoned by the mere payment of I cash indemnities. Although nearly a week has passed since the sinking of the Lusitania mes sages regarding the disaster continue to arrive at the White House to-day from all parts of the world. Practi cally all of them expressed confidence in the President: The German embassy issued this statement: "The German embassy stated to-day that no statement or intimation had been, given by the embassy or any offi cial of the embassy concerning what response would he made to the Amer ican note regarding the Lusitania. "This was brought out by a state ment appearing in the press this morn ing to the effect that officials of the German ambassy have outlined the position of the German government to wards the American note regarding the sinking of the Lusitania and have declared that the reply would be a partial but firm refusal to cease sub marine warfare against belligerent merchantships. "It was pointed out that the Ger man embassy officials are ignorant of the terms of the American note: that it had received no Instructions what ever from its government regarding the note, and finally it was declared that no official connected with the em bassy had expressed any opinion on the subject at all." Principal Points of Xote The principal points in the note are substantially as follows: 1. —The United State government calls attention to the various incidents In the war zone proclaimed by Ger- j many around the British isles; sink- \ ing of the British liner Falaba, with I the loss of Leon C. Thresher, an Amer- ! ican: the attack torpedoing without j warning of the American steamer Gulflight, flying the Stars and Stripes, and finally the torpedoing without warning of the Lusitania, with its loss of more than a thousand lives of non combatants, among ihem more than one hundred Americans. 2. —These acts are declared to be indefensible under international law. The United States points out that it never admitted Germany's right to do them, and warned the Imperial gov ernment that it would be held to a "strict accountability" for attacks on American vessels or lives. A strict ac counting, therefore, is now asked from Germany. 3. —The usual financial reparation will be sought, although Germany is in effect reminded that no reparation can restore the lives of these sacrificed in the sinking of the Lusitania and other ships. Regrets Useless Unless Attacks Stop I. — Expressions of regret may com ply with the legal precedents, but they are valueless unless accompanied by a cessation, of the practices endanger ing lives of nonconibatants. ! s.—The right of neutrals to travel to [any point of the high seas on neutral HARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH "ft* rf Shot 3{(Wt^ooq l To-morrow * ■ | ▼ I To-morrow FRIDAY, Another Big Day Famous Burson Stockings MBmMay Sale of White Fabrics For B (NotaSea L m) e |f Fine Graduation Gowns Friday 3 Pairs 50c H CoYSetS oSESMS- L/C a ' r ———.

'B.—The suggestion is conveyed that the German government of course could not have intended to destroy innocent lives, and that consequently the German submarine commanders must have misunderstood their in structions. The American government indicates its hope that this will be found to be true, and a cessation of the unlawful practices thereby will result. Will l*ress Compliance With Request 9.—-In conclusion, Germany's atten tion is called to the earnestness of the government and people of the United States in this situation. It is made plain that the United States will leave nothing undone either in diplomatic representation or other action to ob tain a compliance by Germany to the request made. The note throughout is couched ?n friendly tones, but is unmistakably firm. By the suggestion that German submarine commanders must have misunderstood their instructions or that the German government would not have intended to destroy inno cent lives, room is given for a dis avowal by Germany of the practices in the war zone and an assurance that future attacks will he prohibited. THE HAIR BEAUTY THAT BELONGS TO YOU So many who have long known that hair beauty was certain to follow upon systematic hair care have been loath to commence what they mis takenly think too much trouble. Pro per hair care means only keeping the scalp and hair perfectly clean by use of some preparation made for sham pooing, not for general cleansing. You can enjoy the best that is known for about three cents a shampoo by get ting a package of Canthrox from your druggist. Dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water and your shampoo is ready. After its use the hair dries rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that It will look much heavier than it is. Its luster and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth.—Advertisement. AMUSEMENTS ' \ TO-DAY Jesse L.
