12 TEUTON U-BOAT LESS EFFECTIVE IN WAGING WAR Germany Conceals Weaken ing of Agency; No Ships Sunk in Three Months By Associated Press I'arla, Saturday, May 11.—The ef fectiveness of the German subma rine campaign is declining. The German government is aware of this fact. declared Georges Leygues. Minister of Marine, before the Naval Committee of the Chamber of Depu ties to-day. but has made the great est efTorts to conceal it. He said the situation was made favorable and that the sinkings of submarines in the first three months of 191S through Allied measures was greater than those built by the enemy. Minister Leygues referred to the statement made in the Reichstag on April 17 by Vice-Admiral von Ca pelle. German Minister of Marine, in which he said 600.000 tons of Allies' shipping were sunk monthly. This figure, the minister said, was incor rect. (•erraany'K Claim* Kefuted It was reached and passed in April, May and June of 1917. In July it declined and in November it fell below 400.000 and since has di- j minished continuously. The Mints- j ter gave the following comparative ■ table of the tonnage claimed to have ; been destroyed by Germany and the tonnage actually lost in the Past five months: Claimed by Actual I Month. uermany. Losses. I December . 702,000 tons 386.277 tons | Januarv . . 63J.000 tons 302.459 tons | February . 659.000 tons 332,322 tons March . .. 650.000 tons 355.660 tons April .. .. 600,000 tons 265.704 tons M. Leygues said that in February. March and April 3.723 French steam rs and 7SB French sailing vessels passed through the danger zone, where a few months ago losses by tor pedou.E had been very heavy. Not a .'ingle ship was sunk. On the other hand, he said the) number of submarines destroyed had i Increased progressively since Janu-1 ary !n such proportion that the ef- ! fectiveness of enemy squadrons can-1 not be maintained at the minimum | required by the regulations. The j number of enemy C-boats destroyed ■ in January. February and March was j far greater In each month than the numbvr constructed in the same I month. In February and April the I number of submarines destroyed was j three less than the total destroyed I in the previous three months. Thcst results, the Minister de clared. were due to the methodical t.iira-ei of the war against subma rines; to the close co-ordination of the Allied navies: to the intrepidity and spirit animating the officers and crews of naval and aerial squadrons, and to the intensification of the use i of old methods and the employment I of new ones.

YANKEES' GUNS TEAR HUN UNES ON WIDE FRONT Avalanches of Monster Pro jectiles Wipe Out Germans' Subterranean Fortresses With the American Army in ; France, May 13.—American heavy j artillery, tiring from heavy armored i railroad trucks or from concrete gun | emplacements, now is supporting : American infantry and lighter bat ! teries at every point on the front t save one. I Since the beginning of the German | offensive on March 21. our coast i artillerymen, from part of General j 's command, have played a part jin every engagement designed to j harass the enemy along the line from Rheims to the Swiss border. Whole avalanches of monster pro | .iectiles, flung many miles by these I titans among cannon, have buried j beneath tons of earth and high ex j plosives hundreds if not thousands. | of the Kaiser's legionaries, and have j obliterated forever subterranean fort ■ resses deemed invulnerable by their German architects. The mystery enshrouding the operations of our railway ordnance is more difficult to penetrate than any other feature of our combatant activity. Despite their hulk, heavy j guns flit about the front like phan toms. Secretly spirited into position jat dead of night, they hurl their ; thunderbolts far across No Man's j Land, then "silently steal away" be i fore the foe has an inkling of their | whereabouts. Big Gun Cleverly Hidden Some of them, of course, have re mained in one spot for days, and • even weeks, but so skillfully are they j concealed that the counter battery endeavors of the Germans are un availing. 1 got within fifty yards of one Brobdignagian piece the other day without discovering it, although three locomotives could have been stored away in the space it occupied. It has tired hundreds of rounds, too, yet nary a German shell had come within 500 yards of it. The Americans were a bit lax about camouflage at the start, but one or two unpleasant suggestive visits from enemy aircraft during their apprenticeship four months ao convinced them that the art of pro tective color scheme is not a lost one. In recent weeks our big caliber ! guns have been assailed from the air only once—and the Gothas reached I battery emplacements several hours I after the guns had been hauled to a | point of safety. Only Few Gunners Wounded ! Among many thousands of men | manning the "heavies" there have been but a dozen light wounds, and none of these received in immediate proximity of the gun. Most of them resulted from shrapnel during reeon noitering visits in the front trenches. Mother's Day Is Widely Celebrated in Harrisburg; Special Services Held Mothers were honored yesterday when churches and. citizens of Har risburg celebrated Mother's Day. Mothers of soldiers were especially honored, receiving white carnations, in many churches. In some of the churches white carnations were given to every mother. At the Elks clubhouse, yesterday afternoon a special Mother's Day program was given. Edwin J. Lewis, exalted ruler, addressed the audi ence. and Miss Martha Armstrong sang Ethelbert N'evin's "Little Old Mother o'Mine." The Rev. H. W. A. Hanson, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church, delivered the invocation. Miss Margaret Kennedy.' cellist, played a "Gavotte," and Mrs. Keys presented "Mother o'Mine." William M. Hargest. past exalted ruler paid tribute to "Our Mothers," and fol lowing the playing of "Orientale," by Miss Kennedy, >lrs. Vallerchamp sang "Mother Machree." Prayer and benediction by the Rev. Mr. Hanson j closed the services. Christian -Endeavor societies and! lodges. Luther and Epworth Leagues, and various church organizations observed the day with special serv ices. Mrs. Clara Dotts and Mrs. i Abraham Blouch were presented! with white carnations at the service at Olivet Presbyterian Church. Roth are mothers of nine children. The carnations were presented by the pastor, the Rev. A. L. Taxis. Each mother of a soldier received a white carnation at Stev ens Memorial Methodist Church and at the Camp Hill Methodist Church. ALLIES STRONG ENOUGH TO MEET HUN EFFORTS [Continued from First Page.] Flanders or in Picardy. The French! and British, however, have taken j some small and locally important j positions in limited attacks, the lat- I est advance having been made by J the French north of Kemmel village j in the capture of Hill 44 and an ad joining farm. It is felt the Germans cannot delay their attacks in strength much longer and that important sec tors southwest of Ypres and between Arras and the Somme will soon re sound again to the clash of mighty battles. Meanwhile the opposing can non are firing thousands of shells into and behind the hostile positions. Fighting Grows Sharper On the Italian front the fighting is becoming sharper with the Italians on the offensive. After the successful operation on Monte Carno, south of Asiago, the Italians have wiped out an Austrian advance post on the im portant height of Col Dell Orso. be tween the Brenta and the Piave. Austrian patrol parties were repuls ed north of Lake Garda and along the line west of the Brenta. Announcement that Emperor Charles had gone to the front to witness the start of a new offensive against the Italians, which has not developed, has not improved internal conditions in the dual monarchy and th? existence of a separate Austrian state is reported to be in danger. Baron Burian and the emperor now have gone to German great head quarters where, it is said, the foreign minister will discuss plans for the military and commercial alliance of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The serious lack of food which has caused outbreaks in Austria and Bohemia, has spread to Galicla and many are reported to be dying. TO ATTEND FUNERAL At a meeting of the executive committee of the Harrisburg Jew elers' Association it was decided to request all Harrisburg jewelers to attend the funeral of the late presi dent of the association, -Edward Rinkenbach, which will be held in the St. Lawrence Church on Wednes day morning at 9 o'clock.

Scouts on the Job This division met with the instant j approbation of the spectators. Every i Boy Scout troop in Harrisburg was there, under the leadership of Scojit ; master Virgin. Other scout troops i from Lemoyne, Camp Hill and near jby places were in line, having been ! invited last week by the Boy Scouts of Harrisburg. While every one on the street this ufternoon undoubt edly hopes that America will never have to wage another war, the em bryo soldiers in that line of march left no doubt as to its outcome if it e\er does come. The Girl Scouts under the lead ership of Miss Julia Stamm, com pleted one of the most popular divi sions in line. The girls were con ! ceded to march as well as the boys, | and there was much good natured rivalry between the two companies. Marshal Sites' assistants were: | Mayor D. L. Keister, Charles H. | Hunter, Charles E. Pass, E. R. Spon j slcr, James M. Cameron, Dr. Ellen- I berger, F. L. Morgenthaler, Dr. C. E. L. Keen, J. H. Sheesley, Clyde I Myton, Herbert E. Sloat, Stanley G. I Jean, George W. Bogar, Edwin I. | Book, E. J. Stackpole. Mercer B. j Tate, John K. Royal, Prof. Ellen i berger. Parochial Showing Splendid J. W. Rodenhaver was marshal of cne of the best divisions in the pa rade, division two. The parochial schools and the Harrisburg Academy caused much ■•omment a* the pa rade proceeded. The pupils of th •larocl 'a! schools presented br.ght and attractive appearance as any 1 Cdy in iine. Weaiing Red Cross caps, their appearance as the partde passed along caused continuous ap ; plause. The boys of the Harrisburg Acad emy, under Marshal Arthur E. Brown, carried a huge banner with the legend "Harrisburg Academy," to identify the fine body of erect young men, and also carried a large American flag. These fellows were well trained by an officer from the Harrisburg recruiting station, and they showed they knew how to march. Marshal Rodenhaver's ass'&tanis in the second division were: Henry G. Reuwer, R. J. Seltz, O. T. Kelly, Bernard Schmidt. J. H. Park, J. R. Sneering, E. J. Fogarty, pupils of parochial schools, Citizens band of Millersburg, Arthur E. Brown, marshal. Waves of Applause The third division, marshaled by F. E. Downes, was the division that kept things lively all along the line. Not a single spectator on the entire line of march that did not see in this body of finely marching youth of Harrisburg some particularly well appearing school that made it im possible for him r.ot to applaud. Many hundreds of schoolboys and girls were in line and the attention they attracted from the thousands of spectators could not be estimated. Teachers Earn Applause The automobiles containing the city's teachers were in this division, and it would be a poor account of the parade which failed to speak of the meritorious comment that these teachers received from the specta tors. Chief Marshal Boyer knows, perhaps, better than any one else how much each individual teacher had to do with the final great success of the demonstration to-day. All of the teachers have been drilling their schools for a week in anticipation of the event, and it was through their efforts that no single school failed to make a favorable appearance. It would be difficult to say which school made the best appearance In the third division. They were a!l there, and they all looked good. Every student in line tried to make his division the best, and the wor3t position one could be in would i)e to try to judge which one deserved spe cial commendation above the others. The third division, because of the many pupils in line, drew the most applause as It contained the young scions of the thousands of families represented in the crowds of specta tors. The Aids , The aids of the first part of this division were: Robert A. Enders, Harry M. Bretz, Cameron L. Baer, C. E. L. Keen, A. C. Stamm, George A. Werner, W. Frank Wltman. M. H. Thomas and John F. Kob were marshals of the second *>art. Their aids were: S. P. Stambaugh, E. D. Keiper, Frank C. Foose, A. H. Kreidler. Charles Weber, George W. Kennedy, William D. Fritz, Austin N. Miller, M. H. Layton, John P. Scott. In this part of the division march ed the eighth grade students of the Harris, Melrose. Foose, Shlmmell. Stevens, Webster, Wickersham and Wlllard buildings. Following them, John J. Brehm and G. Herman Goetz marshalled the eighth grade pupils from Cam eron, Maclay, Camp CurUn and Steele Buildings. Their aids were Ueorge 8. Machen, C. A. Jeffries. P. L. Hocker, Wilfred Reed. \V. C. Heighex und W. 11. Jacobs were marahuis of the next division They led the students of the eighth grades from Forney, Hamilton, Lin coln. Relly, Verbeke and Woodwurd buildings. Their aids were J. F. Ferguson, J. E. Harlucher, Robert Smith, M. C. Hummer, John Workman, Albert Peffer. Tech too ler Cent Charles B. Fager was marshal of one of the best bodies In the parade, Technical High School. "The Whole Darn School 100 Per t'ent" is what one of the banners In the Technical High School division read. Faculty, students, oftlce force, janitors, cooks—all boasted of being | the owners of Thrift Stamps. And i they had the goods right on them, for each of the Maroon contingent carried a catd tilled with Thrift , Stamps, or at least partly tilled. The .cards were tacked to a stick, carried over the shoulder, while a small | American flag floated from the top. j Other banners, painted in the drawing under the direction of Proiessor J. F. Rees, assisted by Rice. Sparrow and Shaffner, con tained the sentiments of the Ma roon students in quite an epigrain mutical way. They attracted much attention along the line of parade. Here are some of them: "It Takes the Mon' to Beat the Hun." "Hush, U' , e Thr ift Stamp. Don't You Cry; lou'U be a War Bond Bv and By." . ■ i k 11 Thrift Stamp and Help to Lick the Kaiser." "Dig Up Your I oin and Bury the Hun." "If U Buy a War Savings Stamp U Beat the U Boat." The Tech school was headed by if., hprins °wden Band, of York, while the Carlisle Indian musicians led the " Fresh ies." The Maroon students marched in a way that was creditable to the work of Sergeants r '> Ford and Barnard of the local recruiting station. Twice during last week the.v were trained b> the Army men. Platoon leaders included Glenn Heard Abram Rurk ! holder. William Hoerner. Karl Rich wine, Blair Hefkin. George Bruker. Vim I .' ' Bc ? k - Earl Philippelli. Anthonv vVilsbach. Frank Stewart. Robert Marcus. Albert Taylor, Harry Sieg mund. William Taylor, Charles Gel bach. Edgar Sellers. Paul Garrett, Henry Kohlman, John Arnold and Paul Reed. Class banners and school colors blended well with the colors of Old Glory. It was probablv the best showing that the Tech students ever made in any parade, and it brought much favorable com ment along . ,e line of march. Music Is Stirring j Participants and spectators alike agreed that the bands made the pa rade what it was. There was a con tinuous music along the parade route, while the marchers have never received such impetus in the way of military music as was given by the bands this afternoon. The bands which turned out were: Common wealth. the Scotland Orphans' School band, the Municipal band, the Citi zens band of Millersburg, the Iro quois band of Palmyra, the Singer band of Mechanicsburg, the Steelton band, the Elizabethville band, the Spring Garden band of York, and the famous Carlisle Indian school band. Following the parade the march ers assembled in Market Square and took part in community singing. A dense concourse of spectators flocked to the square to hear the assembled students sing the anthems and war songs of the nation. Admit Many Candidates to Holy Name Society St. Patrick's Cathedral was the scene of impressive ceremonies yes terday when seventy-five senior 'members and forty-two junior mem bers were admitted to membership in the Holy Name Society. The can didates were solemnly received into membership by the Rev. D. J. Carey, rector of the cathedral, who was assisted by the Rev. Frances X Feeser. The evening sermon was preached by the Rt. Rev. Philip R. McDevitt, bishop of the Harrisburg diocese. A PURLOINED DINER PAIIj COST NEGRO $11.52 It cost Charles Berhardt, colored, $11.52 for stealing a dinner pail ifrom a workman at the Ordnance Field, near Middletown. Berhardt is 21 years of age and boards in Har risburg. For some time reports had been received regarding thefts of dinner pails where the big work is going on. Saturday Berhardt was noticed walking off with another man's dinner. He was arested and i brought to Harrisburg by John G. M. Grab, lieutenant of police, who has also been sworn in as a deputy sheriff. Alderman Hiiton heard the case Saturday night. Berhardt hails from Fredericksburg, Md., and asked le niency because it was his first of fense. He promised, that he would never get into trouble again, and said he would pay the costs and also pay the price of a dinner which his victim missed if he would be let off.
