TEN PER CENT. TAX ON BALL TICKETS One of Secretary of Treasury Mc- Adoo's proposals to raise revenue to carry on the war with Germany in cludes a ten per cent, tax on all base ball admissions. If adopted this means that Uncle Sam will collect 2V4 cents out of every JROUT ANGLERS HAD FAIR DAY l oo Cold For Fly Fishing Was General Report; Local Fisher- men Average Nine Local anglers returned last night with varied reports as to the opening of the trout season. Some had fairly good catches. The big springs near Newville furnished most of the big catches. An average of nine was the day's catch for many Harrisburgers. All appeared to agree that it was too cold tor good fishing, but what trout were landed were of good size, show ing that the lish had wintered well. This augurs for good sport when the water and weather warm up and streams are something like normal in height. Though there were no great freshets during the spring, nearly all fishermen say that the streams were generally high and the water hardly clear enough for good fishing. Little Fly Fishing From some localities come reports of fine catches, but none of them men tion any fly fishing, presumably be cause of the height of tho water and the chill atmosphere. Both of these conditions should right themselves -11 a short time, and then fishing will be at its best, for then the angler will be enabled to use a fly—and that, after all, is the real sport for trout fisher men. Considering all the conditions, however, the catch for a first day was above the ordinary, and the size of the fish bears tribute to the wisdom of Fish Commisioner Buller in stocking the stareams with lingerlings instead of trout fry. FISHING IX CUMBERLAND CO. Carlisle, April 17. Just after mid night yesterday hundreds of anglers who had been on the ground for as long as 4 8 hours before began whip ping the streams and the 1917 trout season in this county was on. In spite of the low temperature, the number out of this year was unusually large, including, in addition to men from various parts of this section, sports men from Harrisburg, Philadelphia and other cities. Reports give the fol lowing catches; Edward Einstein, 33; Harry R. Einstein, 7; Charles Strohm, 4; Spencer First, 5; Charles First, 3. The Bonny Brook, Bug Spring and Pine Grove regions attract ed the largest number of fishermen. BERLIN WRANGLES ONLY SURVIVOR OVER I). S. BREAK OF U-BOAT PIRACY Mijage Editorial Battles Con cerning Von BernstorfFs Ability Copenhagen, April 16. ln to day's Berlin Tageblatt, Theodor Wolff comes to the defense of Count Aon Bcrnstorff and the German- Americans against the attacks made upon them in the conservative and Pan-German press. The latest exam ple of these attacks was in the weekly royiew, the Kreu?, Zeitung, in which it was asserted that the Washington embassy had been perhaps the weak est point in the whole system of Ger man diplomacy and had failed in correct judgment of American condi tions and American temperament. Herr Wolff declares that this charge is utterly false. For the German- Americans, he says: "The German- Americans, whom the jingo writers now wish to disown and repudiate for failing in their mission in America have a legitimate grievance against the Pah-German jingoes, whose ex travagance of language and action has made any attempt to explain and de fend Germany futile. Many of the German-Americans are out of sym pathy with the Prussia of caste, priv ilege and bureaucratic tutelage, but if Prussia and the empire had a com plete rebirth the obstacles to love and attachment of the old fatherland would disappear." The writer declared that those who, after working for months to bring about war with the United tSates, now profess disappointment and surprise are doomed to further surprises. He warns them that the old autocratic Russia on which he says they relied for support of their reactionary poli cies is gone forever. Herr Wolff con cludes with predicting the rise of a school of Socialist diplomats "who will spin threads of brotherhood and peace over the heads of governments." MOST IDEAL KITCHFX In the Woman's Home Companion is an account of a kitchen that is perhaps themost ideal kitchen in America, because it combines all the Rood qualities that are available to people of moderate means. Its in ventor, Mrs. C. S. Parker, says among other things: "The position of the stove is as big an asset as the stove itself; it stands almost in the middle of the kitchen, placed against the back of the projec tion from the living room fireplace, and is central to every other object in the room. But it is our breakfast alcove that gives 'tone' to our whole kitchen. It was built with the Idea of being literally a breakfast alcove, but it has ended In being a breakfast luneh-and-dinner alcove. At supper time, my gay china on the table, the only light in the kitchen coming from candles in the old brass and pewter candlesticks—do not imagine, how ever, that there are no electric lights in the kitchen—there is yet to be a guest who did not 'Oh!' and "Ah!"'

Rescued After Tweaty Hours in Ocean Without Food or Water By Associated Press ' Halifax, N. S.. April 17. A de scription of the scenes attending the attack by a German submarine on the j Nova Scotia barkentrne Ellen James was given to-day by Herman Hansen, the only surviving member of her crew, who was brought here yester day by the steamer which rescued him. He said that the barkentine, bound from Huelva, Spain, for Pen rvn, Cornwall, was over hauled by the submarine off the coast of France. The first shell from the submarine hit the after end of the barkentine. A splinter decapitated the mate. I Several other shells were fired into | the vessel, but she was not sunk. The I captain and four remaining members i of the crew launched a boat which cap sized. All except Hansen were drowned. Hansen managed to right the boat and climb into it. Without food or water, he kept the boat afloat for twenty hours, watching the wrecked Ellen James drift away. When a steamer came in sight he had barely strength to signal her. In approaching Hansen the steamer was fired at by the submarine 17 times but was not hit. The steamer rescued the sailor at full speed.
