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

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. During
the progress of the services all Har
risburg Jewelers will close their
places of business in reverence to
the dead president.

Garden Army Is Larger
Than Force in Uniform
\Vahington. May 13.— The United
States school garden army already is
bigger than the Army of the United
Stataes, the Department of the In
terior announced yesterday. Garden
soldiers to the number of 1,950,000
were enlisted at the begining of
May after a six weeks' campaign.
The central western states have
enlisted 850,000 boys and girls in the
movement. The southern states have
enrolled 700,000 and the northeastern
and western states each 200,000. New
York City alone has 60,000 children
in the garden army.
Oklahoma Is the banner state, with <
an enlistment of 150,000, while Texas
has 100,000.
At least eighty per cent, of male
college students will spend their
vacations this summer working on
farms, according to the Department
of Labor. The youths will be lodged
for the most part in farm labor
camps.
Government employes who have
thirty days' leave during the year are
being asked by the federal employ
menj service to spend their vacations
working on farms. A "farming re
serve" has been organized to assist
farmers in Maryland and Virginia.
T. Selig. Mrs. Charles H. Hunter,
Mrs. George R. Heisey, Miss Ro
mayne Boyer and Mrs. Chris. Sauers.
The organization decided last week
to purchase a motor truck to be used

ment work of various sorts. The
Messengers have decided to buy a
motor truck for heavier service.

number we had proposed to turn
out.
"Of course, an increase in the
t number of ships will mean an in
crease in th capacity of the plants
producing them, therefore I have
paid particular attention to those
yards where there is room for en
largement.
\ "I have Just fini&hed p two-day
tour of the shipbuilding plants
around New York and Staten Island
• and I was exceedingly pleased with
what I saw. The Federal Shipyard
' j on the Hackensack river, between
: ! Jersey City and Newark has done re
markable work. It will launch its
first ship this month."
This shipyard, which is owned by
the United States Steel Corporat'ion,
transformed the section of the
marshy Newark meadows, which
they occupy, into one o? the most
complete fabricating shipyards In the
I country within nine months. The
1 first pile for the ten ways were
I driven August 6 last; these ware
completed ahead of schedule time.
In addition to the ways on which
1 are being constructed 9,000-ton ateel
1 vessels, a fitting out basis 1,100 feet
, long and 250 feet wide was dredged,
miles of railroad track laid, a power
house, plate and angle ship, mold
1 loft, foundry, administration building
, and various smaller structures erect
, ed and acres of ground reclaimed.
"After visiting the Federal yard I
went to Downey's and to Shooter Is
l land. In both places everything
j came up to my expectations,". said
j Mr. Schwab.

HEAVY STORM MARS
PATRIOTIC PARADE
f Continued from First Page.]
have drilled energetically for a week
under Sergeant Parker from the re
cruiting party, and as they swung by
in platoons of evenly marching, erect
youths, they had the appearance of-|
veterans, minus the uniforms. The!
boys of the Technical High school'
showed an unusual Interest In ihej
event, and were commended at every!
turn for their appearance.
The parade started off well with a !
platoon of "Harrisburg's Best" front'
the police force. Following them j
were the zealous workers who made!
the great patriotic demonstration!
this afternoon possible. The perfect|
demonstration this afternoon, which j
passed without a hitch, was largely!
the result of the entrgy and untiring |
zeal displayed by Chief Marshal Har
ry A. Boyer. and h!s corps of able as
sistants. When he announced the
parade of school children, Marshal
Boyer promised something unique in
the line of parades, and the success
of the turnout this afternoon did not
belie his promise or disappoint the
spectators.
As his Immediate assistants. Chief
Marshal Boyer had D. D. Hammel
baugh. C. Floyd Hopkins, Hender
son Gilbert and J. J. Wallazz. With
these men in the van of the parade,
and heralded as its marshals, there
was no doubt in the minds of the
spectators that the demonstration
was worth waiting for.
Worked For Success
Also in the van were the men who
are going to take Harrisburg over
the top with them this week when
the War Savings Stamp campaign is
waged. These men on the general
committee were:
General committee, W. M. Donald
son, chairman; John F. Dapp. Carl
W. Davis, E. R. Eckenrode. C. H.
Hunter, Boyd Ogelsby, C. M. Kalt
wasser, John W. Phillips, Robert B.
Reeves, W. S. Essick. H. W. Dowell,
William Jennings, John C. Motter,
A. S. Patterson, George A. Reinoehl,
A. D. Bacon, B. F. Blough, A. H.
Dinsmore, Charles C. Stroh, John C.
Jessup. George S. McCrone.
Frank C. Sites, generally known as
| the postmaster of Harrisburg, but
I famous to-day as the marshal of the
I first division of the great parade,
came next in the line of march with
| his corps of skilled War Savings
I Stamps salemen. the mail carriers of
> the Harrisburg post office.
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

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

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.
