Summer
By Associated Press
Boston, April 16. German sub
marines in large number have been
built in Norway, according to a letter
received hero from Christlanla which
adds that Germany has given no or
ders to build submarines after May 1.
The letter was written by O. C.
Dahl, of Christiania. a shipbuilder, to

a physician in the Back Bay district.
It was dated February 10. Mr. Dahl
wrote:
"Wo continue to build up to May 1
this year, but Germany has not given
any orders to continue building sub
marines after May 1. This means to
us that either she has enough boats
or that the war will terminate some
time this coming summer."

MONDAY EVENING,
EARNEST WORK OF
THE CIVIC CLUB
Reports at Annual Meeting This
Afternoon Show Real Prog-
ress in Many Lines
With a membership of 512," an In
crease of 208 during the past year,
the 1 larrlsburg Civic Club, always
alive to Its opportunities heard a won
derful account of work both done anil
planned for the future, given by the
president, Mrs. William Henderson, at
the annual meeting this afternoon.
Firßt of all Sirs. Henderson men
tioned the fact that the club is at
last In Its own house, the wonderful
Rift of Mrs. William R. Fleming, which
has been adapted to fclub use by W.
W. ohnson. architect. The arge con
tributions by friends of the organiza
tion as well as club members have
made it possible to more than pay all
expenses for remodeling and furnish
ing. and its use by everyone is a de
light to the club. The grounds will be
put in shape for the summer under
the direction of Miss Martha W.
Buebler.
While interested in getting the club
house liveable, the club lessened none
of its activities. The care of children
In the Aut-Door schools, the fly swat
ting contests, an outing for mother's
and babies, and co-operation with the
State Board of Health during the ty
phoid epidemic of last slimmer, atl
required helpers and the club mem
bers were eager for work. Five bar
rels of clothing were sent to the Mt.
Alto camp In December and $25 worth
of clothing, shoes and hoisery went to
the Downey school in February. In
this school a special lunch of crackers
and milk were given to deficient' chil
dren at 10 o'clock each day and It Is
found that since this was inaugurated
the pupils have increased in weight,
are quieter, pay more attention to
their work and have increased in men
tal efficiency. Fifty dollars was given
to the Penn-Community Club in which
the Civic Club Is much Interested.
Club Hoars Lectures
Beginning with the social meetinr
of the club last May at the Colonial
Country Club, when Vance C. McCor-
I mick spoke on "Know Our City—lts
; Good Points and Its Bad Ones," the
club had a series of Interesting lec
tures by distinguished speakers along
lines of civic, travel and women's prob
lems. The Reciprocity teas were found
most enjoyable and the Civic Club had
as its guest the College Club, Authors
Club and Wednesday Club, serving tea
after entertaining programs by the
visitors. .
In the two fly contests the commit
tee of which Mrs. Robert H. Irons is
chairman, reported 31 bushels of flies,
brought in with a cost to the club of
$120.35. The Municipal Department,
headed by Miss Rachel Pollock, has
finally secured the signals for the cur
few law. passed by council a year
ago and the chief of police Is aiding in
the enforcement of other laws in
which the club is interested especially.
The Educational Department under
Mrs. Harry G. Keffer and an efficient
committee has carried on the League
of Good Citizenship in many schools,
the Open Air School at Fifth and
Seneca streets, is under the care of
this department. Miss Bueliler of the
Out-Door Department reported that
while the back yard gardens were dis
continued some of the school gardens
were finer than ever because of the
earnest labor given to them by the
children. Most of the vegetables aro
used for school lunches and the rest
taken home by the youngsters. This
i department is putting up a birdbox for
' purple martins in the park near the
Market street bridge.
Believes in Co-Operation
Always interested in what goes to
j make a better and more beautiful city. I
I the Harrisburg Civic Club has joined ;
i hands with charitable and other city
organizations on the garbage and ash
questions, better housing conditions,
;the city vegetable gardens, the smoke
| nuisance and moving picture censor
; ship.
In closing Mrs. Henderson said: i
| "Much is expected of the Cvic Club]
|of Harrisburg. Have we sized up to
lour opportunities? I do not know, i
j but 1 am very sure of much earnest j
j work in many directions. We are not j
building for to-day. but trying to place j
on a firm foundation a strong .active ;
I Women's Club that is not just for our I
I own time, but for future generations ■
I of Harrisburg women."

John G. Johnson, Noted
Lawyer, Frequent Visitor
Here in Important Cases
John G. Johnson, the famous Phil-;
adclphta lawyer, who died Saturday,
was not a stranger in Harrisburg. He i
appeared before Dauphin county court j
In important cases, and was a friend
of many in official life. His opinion !
was sought in municipal loans and
upon his approval the several Issues of!
public improvement bonds were au- |
thorlzed.
As his paintings form one of the >
few really great private collections in !
America, as he was himself one of the i
country's few real .connoisseurs, John |
G. Johnson was just two things where!
most men ure a dozen; he was a law-j
yer and he was a collector of pictures.
And he knew paintings as thoroughly j
as he knew corporation law. We knew I
the history of every recognized master j
piece, critics say, and he had many j
times discovered priceless little paint
ings that had gone unrecognized be- j
fore. No dealer could impose uponi
him.
'•'he nurse said that after taking hlsi
medicine at 2 o'clock Saturday morn- i
ing ho turned to her with a smile and
said: "Good night, I'm going to sleep j
now." Those were his last words, for
when the nurse return at 3 o'clock she:
found Mr. Johnson dead.
The funeral service will be held at 1
his late home, 510 South Broad street,:
on Tuesday. llis private secretary,!
Charles McDerniott, and his brother,;
A. C. Johnson, will complete all ar- •
langoment.s within a day or two. The,
obsequies will be private, and the hour!
of the funeral will be made public)
later. No honorary pallbearers and i
no service at the grave in Ivy Hill
Cemetery have been decided upon. I
General Edward deV. Morrell, a step
! son, will aid in the arrangements.
The service will be marked bv Im-'
! rressive simplicity. There will be an ;
j utter absence of formality, and as the
I distinguished lawyer was not actively
j connected with any church or any of;
, the prominent fraternal organizations, I
I there will be no ceremonial,
j John Graver Johnson was horn in
Germantown in J 841! His father was
I a blacksmith and his mother a mill!- !
ner, who added to the family ex- \
chequer by her personal labors.
I The boyhood of Mr. Johnson was]
i passed between the father's forge and
the mother's millinery establishment,'
| whore the thrifty wife manufactured |
I <uch hats as would please the taste of i
her wealthy clients. It was no un
common sight either in that section to
see "Johnnie" Johnson, as he was
, known, delivering the hats, when he!
i was not in school. His devotion to;
his mother was idyllic, and as long!
as she lived he cared for her with a j
filial tenderness and assiduity that'
were remarkable.
j Girard in the Philadelphia Ledger
| says:
I 'Hardly anybody remembered that
] this Philadelphia high school boy was
a soldier in the Civil War, but he was.
I Mr. Johnson was a member of that
: famous Landis battery in whieh C.
| Stuart Patterson was an officer and
i such other notables as Richard Wat
j son Gilder, "Hans Breitmann," the
! humorist, and Dr. A. C. Lambdin, the
: editor, were privates. tt was when
this battery was guarding the Susque
hanna bridge at Hiirrisburg that Gil
der, who was on picket duty, saw in
the dim morning light a Confederate
( vidette. That was the furthest north
any Confederate soldier got during the
rebellion."

Washington, April 16. Colonel
Roosevelt ir. letters to-day to Senator
Chamberlain and Bepresentative Dent,

of the service the congregation stood
as these soldiers past, and present,

"The Star Spangled Banner," as it
pealed from the organ. The uudltorium
of the church was filled to its capacity
long before the sermon started and
hundreds were turned away.
The church was decorated with Am
