Mr. Cook, l'ork, said <he people of his county did not want the bill. Both Messrs. Swartz and Black, Dauphin, argued for the bill. Mr. Black said it would save thousands r>f dollars for this county and for York and mean a great convenience to the people. He said the plan worked well in other counties and rited as instances of the way money would be saved that the Third ward hook in Harrisburg netted the col lector $2,300 in 1916. Even these figures could not save the bill. The question of home rule was raised In the debate, which ended Ir. the defeat of the bill providing for the creation of a division of state building inspection in the Depart ment of I>abor and Industry with branches in third class cities and "Kie-Yie-Yie!

V., June 7.—A German "alien-enemy" walked into one of the Rome banks this morning and purchased a SSO Liberty Loan bond, according to a report received at Bome Defense headquarters this morning. When it came his turn to see the bank official, he aroused the latter's suspicion by carefully asking three or four times if there \yere any peo ple who could not buy bonds if they had the money. He also wanted to know when a person bought a bo.nd if his name became public in any way. The banker thought he was dealing with a demented person un til he questioned him more closely and then it developed that he was German born, still a subject of the Kaiser and a Reservist. He came to this country and to Rome three years ago and since then has been working in one of the big copper mills here. His wife and everybody to whom he is related lives in South ern Germany. His caution and his insistent ques tions. it developed, were because he feared if his identity became known he might be subjected to danger at the hands of German agents. He went on to say, that in various'way he had been able to send money to Germany to his mother and his wife until the last few weeks. What he had saved since he wanted to put into a Liberty Loan bond. He was asked how he thought he could con sistently do this and he said in rather broken English: "My woman and my mother are starving In Germany because the Kaiser wants the world. I can't send them any more money. So I will save my money and buy bonds to help the United States which is go ing to end the war and make Ger many a republic. "I was sacred. They told me if United States went to war Americans would take all my money and things and send me away to Mexico to starve or put me to prison. But I am Avorking here and I get my pay. Nobody bothers me. I am a Ger man, but I like the way America does and I buy a bond. When I get more money I buy another." And with a roll of bills he paid for a SSO denominational. MEADE W. C. T. V.

I HAKRXSBURG TELEGRAPH HOSPITALS ARE TO BE ENJOINED Must Collect Their Bills Be fore Physicians Get Their Pay From Patients The chiefs of the appropriations committee decided last night to attach a "rtder" to every bill carrying a hos pital appropriation which would pre vent physicians in the institution from collecting fees from patients until the hospital bills were first paid. It is, proposed to effect the reform by tagging more than 150 hospital ap propriation bills with this proviso: "Provided, however, that no part of the money herein appropriated shall be available unless the said hospital shall by resolution of Its officers and trustees prevent the charging of wards by physicians for treatment until such patients shall have paid the full per diem cost of his main tenance in said hospital." It Is argued at the Capitol that the State actually wastes hundreds of thousands of dollars of Its charitable appropriations made every two years from the fact that the patients who real-ly are able to pay for their treat ment do not dp so. Physicians con nected with hospitals, it is charged, often exact payment for their own services while the patient is not re quired to pay for his hospital treat ment. "The State pays for that" is the general feeling. The proposal which has been made Is that the rider shall be first attached to the bills in the Senate Appropria tions Committee, of which Clarence J. Buckman of Bucks county is the chairman. These bills, most of which have been passed by the House, prob ably will make their appearance on the Senate calendar next week. The House Ways and Means Com mittee to-day appointed a subcom mittee to hear objections by repre sentatives of theatrical interests to the bill proposing a two per cent, tax on the gross receipts of traveling theatrical companies giving perform ances in the State. The theater man agers in the State say it really would place an additional burden on them since they would have to take the tax for the companies out of their own share of the receipts.

U.S. DESTROYERS EFFECTIVE IN SEA PATROL WORK Sailors Drink Tea and Travel First Class to Astonish ment of Natives The British Port Base of the American Flotilla, via London, June 7.—The American destroyers have completed their first month of active service In the great war. They have been favored with excellent weather, which Is a big factor in antisub marine warfare. Most of the time they have had sunny skies and smooth seas, with just enough squall and storm to put their seamanship to test. The favor able weather conditions made their task of learning the technique of antisubmarine worfar much simpler and easier. The American boats are assigned to work hand-in-hand with the Brit ish squadrons, being virtually assimi lated Into the British naval machin ery here. A destroyer is usually out four or five days and then returns to port for two or three days, while coaling and loading supplies. Thus every American sailor gets at least half a day shore leave every week. There has been no actual battle as yet between an American destroyei and the enemy, although several re ports show that U-boats have been sighted and have been compelled to beat a hasty retreat to the depths of the sea. Convoy American liiners An assignment to convoy a liner "from home," that is, from an American port, is regarded as es pecially choice. A transatlantic liner which sights the American flag ap proaching to escort her to land never fails to respond with a great waving of flags and handkerchiefs from her decks, and there is a fine exchange of wigwag signals In lieu of handshakes. Several American liners can al ready testify to the vigilant work of the American destroyers as convoys. Occasionally a fortunate liner finds herself being escorted to port by American and British destroyers side by side, circling about her like twin sisters, a visible sign of the new alliance. The American boats were ready for duty the minute they arrived. This was something of a pleasant surprise for the British naval men. It had been expected that some time would be necessary for certain in stallation and fittings, but the American flavor. In all the little ness and were at once assigned to work. Shore leave is generous on the American ships and the American sailor is constantly in evidence In this village, in the countryside round about and in a nearby city, where more metropolitan pleasures are JSjoamKtnZ BELL 1001—2356 UNITED IIAHRISBUR3.

Americans Travel First Class "The American gets a dollar every time we get a shilling" is a common expression among the admiring Brit ish seamen. One of the American sailor's favorite ways of showing his opulence is his habit of alwaya uu - - eling first class on th#rdllroad which takes him from the village up to the city, a trip of a few miles. The ex tra cost is only a few pence, but the unheard-of ldeu of a common sailor traveling first class strikes the popu lace as a startling and audacious maneuver of American extravugance. Tea time in the village now has an American flavor. In all the little inns and shops, and farther afield, even well into the wonderfully green countryside and along the cliffs, which remind the seamen of the 1 Palisades along the Hudson anchor ages, one may any afternoon find groups of British and American sail- j ors drinking their tea and swapping yarns In true seamanlv fashion. The American quickly acclimates himself to the afternoon tea habit and finds it an* amiablejsnd satisfac tory substitute for other things, with plenty of opportunity for confidential chats with his new allies on a thou sand and one subjects which his act ive mind has been turning over since his arrival here. Italy Declares Fronts Are Being Held in Face of Fresh Assaults By Associated Press Udlne, June .7 The Austrian advance on the whole Carso front shows that the enemy commander, after repeated attacks in the Vodice rone, thought it necessary to make a supreme effort on his left wing, where every Italian gain constitutes a double threat on Lalbach and Trieste. General Borsevio's assaults failed entirely before the determined resistance of the Italian troops, who even made a further advance be tween Castagnavizza and Voicizza, the tract dominating the Brestovizza road, threatening the Hermada stronghold. The modification of the line in the center, south of Jamiano, is due to the fact that the Austrian artillery on Hermada could still sweep the front of the new Italian positions. The whole situation is practically unchanged and the Aus trian positions are still closely press ed and menaced by the gains made by the Italians in their last advance.
