Observe Ascension Day
Ascension Day. in accordance with j
the time-honored custom, was observed i

able condition of trout streams from
the recent rains

served with special masses in the
Catholic churches. At the Cathedral,
masses were read at r.:SO and 7 o'clock.
Higrh mass was suns at !> o'clock. Other
churches held masses at 5:30 and 8

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.

ed.
6.—in the name of humanity and
international law, theUnitedStates de
mands a guarantee that these rights
will be respected, and that there be no
repetition of attacks on merchantmen
carrying noncombatants.
7.—The giving of warnings to the
American public without officially
communicating them to the United
States government is commented on in
connection with the German embassy's
printed advertisement before the sail
ing of the Lusitania, but irrespective
of the failure to advise the American
government of Germany's purpose, the
point is made that notice of an inten
tion to do an unlawful act neither
justified nor legalized it.
'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.
