; considered fairly figured. A like j
I procedure was followed in every <
community throughout the county, j
thereby accounting for differences in j
prices throughout various localities j
|of the county. The profit made by I
; the dealers in Harrisburg, it was |
explained. Is not more than that i
I made by dealers in other communi
ties who sell their coal for less. In'
one locality, it was said, a dealer on
!a small scale is operating under a
twenty cent, gross margin.
According to a federal ruling last
year, dealers were allowed a thirty j
; cent increase over their gross mar-1
gin of 1913 in figuring their '-oal. i
prices. An additional allowance of \
twelve and a half per cent, has been j
allowed the dealers, making the total >
increase in gross margin since 1915 I
i forty-two and a half per cent. The |

DEMOCRATS TO
FINISH SLATES
Prominent Bosses Will 'An
nounce Candidates For
Congress-at-Large
Domocratie state bosses, while ills
appointed at the very lukewarm re
ception given to the 'announcement
of the presidentlally-approved can
didacy of Acting State Chairman
Joseph K. Guftey for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, intend to
lose no time in framing the rest of
the slate slate. The fact that the
"wet" Democrats, the Old Guard,
the perennially, insurgent Democrats
and the fellowship of disappointed
otlice-seekers have not shown signs
of taking to the warpath against
(Juftey is regarded throughout tlie
state with mingled suspicion and de
rision. Incidentally, some unbiased
observers say that it is a compli
ment to the thoroughness of the re
organized machine. While the ma
chine may start to squeak in some
joints and some of the cogs get out
I of whack during the campaign the
1 preliminaries seem to have been run
I by the bosses in the most approved
I manner.
Guffey's candidacy was framed up
at Washington, although the bosses
learned their lesson from 1914 and
did not announce their meeting. They
held a talkfest at Philadelphia and
barring some strategic silence fol
lowing the demand for McCorniiek
and the disregard of Guffey as big
timber have managed things pretty
well thus far. They did the work at
i Washington with war-time secrecy
and then told the rank and file about
it. The rest of the Democratic slate
is about due. }t now includes J.
Washington Logue, Philadelphia, for
Lieutenant Governor: Asher R.
Johnson, McKean. for Secretary of
Internal Afl'anrs; J. Calvin Strayer,
York, and S. R. Tarner, Allegheny,
I for Congress-at-Large. Two more
i are to be slated.
The Prohibitionists having framed
their slate in February, the Repub
licans are the only ones left and
they must go to the primaries. Ow
ing to the row in Philadelphia over
the vice conditions and attacks the
independents are making on the city
administration, it looks as though
the Vares were going to be busy at
home and will not attempt to en
dorse a state ticket right away.
The Philadelphia Record says to
day: "The Republican City Commit
tee will hold a meeting Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in the head
quarters at Eleventh and Chestnut
streets, at which it is likely that a j
complete Congressional, Senatorial i
and legislative ticket for the entire
city will be indorsed. The state I
ticket will not be discussed, accord- j
ing to leaders of the Vare faction,
but will be taken up at a subsequent j
meeting. The committee, it was said j
yesterday, would indorse the entire J
present Congressional delegation i
from Philadelphia for re-election. I
There had been rumors that the j
Vare forces would oppose Congress
man George S. Graham in the Sec
ond district, but it was announced
yesterday that petitions for Mr.
Graham's candidacy were being cir
culated by the City Committee."
Concerning the Kunkel decision of
yesterday tho Philadelphia Press
says: "The Town Meeting leaders
had not made up their minds last
night exactly what the decision
meant to them. On the one hand
there was the belief that, in estab
j lishing them as a party, the decision
! would keep them out of any other
! party, which would mean that they
| could not vote in the primaries as
j Republicans. On the other hand
! there were those who said that
j though the decision created the right
i to their own primary, it did not es
[ tablish the necessity of their holding
; such primary. This was apparently
the majority view, backed up by t,he
assertion that as the Town Meeting
party was established after the last
primary election, its voters were till
enrolled a.*. Republicans and there
was nobody enrolled as a Town Meet
ing party adherent."

"Well, President Wilson says it Is

Austria Sought Peace
Conference Through
Sweden, Says Painleve
By Associated Press
Paris, April 6.—Former Premier
Paul Painleve, after reading the of
ficial government's statement con
firming Premier Clemenceau's denial
that conversations concerning peace
had been held between Austria and
France, made the following state
ment:
"During the year 1917 Austria
made several attempts to open semi
oflleial negotiations with the Entente
Allies. Notably in June, 1917, I was
advised by the scond bureau that
Austria, through the personage of
Count Revertata, had several times
asked through a Swiss intermediary
tor an interview with the oillcers at
tached to the second bureau, Major
Armand, a distant relative. Alexan
| dre Ribot, then premier, {laving been
I consulted, Major Armand and Count
Revertata met in August, 1917. The
matter stopped there and no Inteiv
view took place from August until
November, when I left office. The
j events which occurred afterward
j naturally, are unknown to me, but I
J presume that after the statement
I made by Premier Clemenceau that
Count Revertata returned to the
j charge."

AIRCRAFT BAG TEN
GERMAN SUBMARINES
[Continued From First Page.]
mercliantsnips. The seaplane dived
at ninety miles an hour. The sub
mat Ine attempted to escape by sub
merging, but was just awash as the
seaplane reached a bombing po
sition and released two bombs, one
ct which exploded on the conning
tower. The seaplane dropped two
more bombs into the midst of ho •
air bubbles from the collapsed sub
marine, which was of the largest ,
type, carrying two guns."
Plane Photographs Submarine
The second case; "At dawn ft sea
plane sighted a large submarine on
the surface with a member of the
crpw standing by the gun. The sea
p'ane dropped a bomb on the tail of
the U-boat and afterwards photo
graphed the sinking submarine w.tl'
a big hole in its deck. A se?on:l
, bomb was dropped close to the saV
■ marine's bow and the U-boat col
. lapsed."
The third cass: "Two seaplanes
ai tacked a large submarine travuling
on the surface at fourteen knots,
with two men In the conning tower.
A bomb was exploded close to the
corning tower and the submarine
began to sink stern first. A bomb
from a second seaplane completed
I tins work."
Disappears in Oil mul Wreckage'
The fourth case: "Three pa:rcl
planes sighted a large submarine
it was submerging and dropped two
bombs close to the conning tower,
causing the submarine to turn turtle
and disappear In a mass of oil and
wreckage."
The fifth case: "A seaplane sight
ed two submarines close to the sur
face and dropped two bombs. One
bomb was ineffective, but the other
hit the deck fairly amidships. The
submarine was hidden by the smoke
of the explosion and when the smoke
cleared the U-boat was sinking, with
both ends in the air"
The sixth case: "A seaplane saw
the track of a torpedo fired at a
merchantman. It dived toward the
surface and sighted the black shades
of the submarine, well below the
surface. It dropped two bombs,
which both exploded close to the
submarine, resulting In a large quan
tity of oil, bubbles and wreckage."
The seventh case: "Two seaplanes
sighted a U-boat on the surfaee and
dropped a bomb each. The first
bomb caused a heavy list to the Ü
boat which began to sink by the
sttrn. The second bomb exploded In
the center of the swirl, demolishing
the U-boat."
Second I tomb Completes Work
The eighth case: "A seaplane*!
dropped a bomb on a submarine Just '
emerging and the U-boat disappear- f
ed with a heavy list to port. The
pilot dropped a second bomb Into
the swirl and a few minutes later a
patch of oil 150 feet long and twelve
feet wide appeared on the surface."
The ninth case: "A naval airship
at midday sighted a suspicious patch
of oil and circled it In an effort to
ascertain the cause. Suddenly a peri
scope broke the surface In the midst
of the oil. The airship dropped a
j bomb close to the periscope and a
series of bubbles began appearing.
Indicating that the damaged sub
! marine was moving slowly away un
j der the water. Several more bombs
were dropped In the path Indicated,
until satisfactory evidence was ob
tained of the enemy's destruction."
The tenth case: "An airship
dropped two bombs over a sub
marine which was engaged In at-
tacking merchantmen. Great patches ,
of oil and bubbles Indicated severe
damage and trawlers made this
complete by depth charges." I ,
