DO MORE REPAIR WORK ON STREETS THAN LAST YEAR Commissioner Lynch Reports Progress Despite Labor Conditions Paving repair work this year is far ahead of the amount done last year. Highway Commissioner Wil liam H. Lynch reported to-day. De spite the late start due to the short age of sand and the difficulty in em-, ploying enough men to keep all the repair gangs Intact, if condi-, tions do not interfere, practically ai the work to be done before winter will be completed on schedule time, the official asserted. Probably the biggest part of the repair program was the resurfacing of both side of Market street from Second to the east side of Fourth street. After this was completed the fol lowing streets were gone over thor oughly and all weak spots and holes street, from Chestnut to Ma cluV; Sixth street, Chestnut to Divi sion: Seventh street, North to Emer ald: Front street.

These disappeared and then a whole city rose out of the waters of ' the bay—a great city with a tall church tower in the middle ground. The tiles upon the church roof were plainly discernible. At the right of the picture a stone wall of a large roofless structure, blackened by a destructive fire, were visible. No such afcriai images have been seen before at Dairen, and superstitious citizens are variously commenting thereon. etaoiniaointaoin Wins Victoria Cross For Daring; Kept Secret in Britain London, July 20.—For the second time during the war the Victoria Cross has been awarded without any retailed account of the reason be ing published. The first instance was that of Commander Gordon Camp bell, of the navy; the second in stance is Lieutenant Commander W. E. Sanders, of the Naval Reserve. The official notice of the honor to Lieutenant Commander Sanders says merely:—"ln recognition of con spicuous gallantry, v consummate coolness and skill in command of one of His Majesty's ships in ac tloCpmman(ler Campbell actually was decorated by the king before the award of the Victoria Cross was published in t pfficial Gazette, and he also recei. the Distinguish ed Service Order in similar circum stances a short time earlfcr, and was specially promoted over the heads of about seven hundred officers Cur rent rumor ascribed his remarkable preferments to work against subma- TlVe advancement of Lieutenant Commander Sanders has been even more remarkable. He was commis sioned in the Naval Reserves as a sub-lieutenant a year ago. The rule is that an officer shall serve eight years as a lieutenant before turther advancement, but he has risen by special dispensation from sub-lieu tenant to lieutenant commander in less than a yean Gets Call For Carpenters to Work in Philadelphia H. M. Brooks, business agent of the Building trades Council, with headquarters in this City, has re ceived a call for 100 carpenters to work on the new apartment house which will be erected in Philadel phia on the site of the old Chestnut street opera house. Rates of pay will he 65 and 70 cents an hour, for an eight-hour day, Mr. Brooks announced. He will open offices August 1 in the rear on the second floor of the Patriot building, to receive applications for the work. Hours will be 8 o'clock in the morn ing. 1 to 2, and fi to 11.30 o'clock. A call has also been received for fifty laborers to work on the new Penn-Harrls Hotel. Applications will be received each afternoon from 1 to 2 o'clock at the Citizen Fire Com pany house. •FRIDAY EVENING, DETERMINED TO CLEAR CAPITOL ZONE AT ONCE Remaining Buildings Will Be Razed; to Transfer Fire Companies Governor and his as sociates on the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings are deter mined to allow nothing to stand in the way of the prompt clearance of the Capitol Park zone of the remain ing .buildings. The buildings still standing in this area will- be sold %t auction on Saturday, July 28, and in this last list will be included the Mt. Vernon flrehouse and the old build ing of the Citizen Fire Company, both in Fourth street. City Commissioner Gross has ad vised the Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings that both these fire companies have been no tified to vacate the buildings, and Superintendent Shreiner is authority for the statement that there will be no further procrastination in the matter. Arrangements have been made for the placing of the Mt. Vernon equip ment at the Hope enginehouse and the Citizen Company will occupy jointly the headquarters of the Friendship Fire Company, in South Third street. While each of these firehouses will have two companies all the organizations will maintain their official relation to the depart ment. So much depends upon prompt ness in clearing the Capitol Park dis trict that further delay will not ue permitted. It is fully expected that all buildings will have disappeared by the 15th of August and likely be fore that date.

Vernon Or ganizations Will Be Con tinued at New Quarters Both the Citizens and Mt. Vernon Fire Companies will vacate their houses in the Capitol Park zone on or before August 1, according to an an nouncement to-day. Commissioner Gross, superintendent! of the fire and park departments, said to-day that all arrangements have been completed with the Hope and Friendship Companies for the removal of the other two companies to those houses. The organization of the Citizen and Mt. Vernon members will be kept in tact as the removal to the other fire houses will not be permanent, it is believed. Plans may be made within the next year to provide houses for the two companies, according to city officials. The Citizen Company members will hold an adjourned meeting next Mon day night to complete their plans for vacating the place. This com pany will be housed with the Friend ship Company in South Third street, where all regular business meetings will be held. A similar arrangement has been made with the Hope Com pany. where the Mt. Vernon ladder truck will be placed. A soon as the) companies locate the properties will j be turned over to the State.

War Against Britain London, July 20.—The naval cor respondent of the Times comment ing up'on the submarine returns writes: t "It Is perhaps not to be wondered at that there should be growing dis satisfaction in Germany at the re sult of the submarine campaign. The hopes awakened by the high re sults of April have not been fulfilled. It is due no doubt to this state of things and with the purpose of en couraging the German public that the press is publishing heartening opinions from the nation's leaders. "Whether any real satisfaction can be felt from t the cryptic utter-: ance of Grand Admiral Von Tirpitz, 'The U-boat is extremely effective, but needs time,' or the still more j mysterious saying of Von Hinden burg, 'The U-boat is performing its office,' must be doubtful. The sol dier himself seems to have no great faith in the naval weapon, while the originator of the submarine war has to ask more time, and yet he must know that time works on our side. "Commerce has been well main tained. There has been no material falling off in the use of our ports by the ships of the allied and neutral nations. The traffic returns of the Allies do not indicate that the sub marine is having the success expect ed by Germany. The number of ships of all nationalities arriving at French ports has increased from an average of 842 in March to 1,014 in June, and the latest return for July' shows a still further advance."

At that time recommendations of the com mercial economy board of the Coun cil of National Defense will be con sidered. This especially will pertain to the convervation of men and ve hicles used in the delivery service and in branches of business that could be easily eliminated without embarrasssment to conducting the affairs. While it is not probable that all the delivery system in the city will be eliminated at the present time, purchasers of small packages will doubtless have to do their bit by carrying their own bundles. All re turn of articles may also be elimi nated, as will the C. O. D. service. A letter sent out by the board points out how. necessary it is at this time for us to conserve our resources in every possible way. Only the most unnecessary parts of business will receive attention at this time. J. A. LINN DIES Word was received here to-day of the death of John A.

Would get a gnawing nervous feeling before meals and felt as If I was going to faint. Afer eating I would feel lifeless, would bloat and' my stomach would pain me very badly. At. times would get so weak and dizzy that I would have to sit down and rest for fear of falling. I wor ried a lot and simply thought that nothing would help me. Finally I saw, as it proved to be, a beacon light, I saw Sanpan adver tised. secured a bottle, and now I feel like a new sort of person. This giant among medicines, Bimply made all my ailments fade away, and I feel that I can't say too much for Sanpan. There are medicines ga lore, but there Is only one Sanpan. Sanpan is now being introduced at Keller's Drug Store. 405 Market street, Harrisburg, where the San pan man is kept busy explaining it to the many constantly increasing daily callers who are interested in this reliable medicine.
