12 U-BOAT RAIDERS IN TOUCH WITH FOLKS ON SHORE Commander Sinking Tanker Recently Recognized in New York Saloon Washington. Aug. 20.—Officers and crews of German submarines operating oft the American coast are believed to be coming ashore and visiting New York and other cities. It was learned here yesterday there is strong ground for this belief, and that natal authorities hold it to be entirely possible. The strongest evi dence of the reported fact has been given by the captain and first officer of a vessel which was sunk by a sub marine in the recent operations. The captain and first officer were taken aboard the submarine and there saw a number of the officers and men of the U-boat crew. A day or two later the two Amer icans were in a saloon in New York and the first officer saw a man whom he believed to be an officer of the submarine that had sunk his ship. Th s sailor was quite positive of the lccognition. The German officer caught his eye and acted in a way that indicated he also was aware of the recognition. The American turned to his companion to call at tention to the German's presence, but when both again looked around the German had disappeared. No trace was found of hint. 1 (ill U-Boats Operating An unot'ticiul estimate, obtained yesterday, credited Germany with now having in operation approxi mately 160 submarines, although the total may be as high as 180. Th ■> statement of Lloyd George that 150 T'-boats have been sunk by the allies coincides with information in Wash ington. but the point was made that number represents only the sinkings cf which there cannot be any doubt whatever. There are in addition about fifty "very probable" sinkings, which were not included in the Brit ish Premier's calculation. Naval officers here were inclined to accept as fairly accurate the estimate of 250 made by a naval authority writ ing in the London Sunday Observer. ICasy to Make Shore Naval officers said it was not sur prising that visits by crews of the 1 '-boats to coast towns were possi ble. as the coast guard cannot pa trol every inch of the coast, espe cially in some out-of-the-way places. It has been stated that some of the submarines carry collapsible boats, which would enaide them to reach the shore without the necessity of the U-boat getting in very close. Foch Has Made No Misstep, Says Expert The military expert of the New York Times to-day discussing the situation on the Western front in France says: So far Foch has not made a mis step. His moves have been carefully calculated and admirably timed. Each has produced a eertain positive result. What the culmination of these steps is. what the general plan is which dictates these successive steps, is not yet apparent. In the process of preparing the way Foch is carrying on a great work of destruction. The Germans are suf fering heavily, it was shown yester day that since the latter part of March the German loss has been near ly a million men at the least calcu- ; lation. It is a combination of attri- j tion and superior leadership, with | the idea that when Foch is ready for j the final stroke, into which all his ; power will be thrown, there will not j he sufficient resistance to withstand j r \ The Harrisburg Academy A COUNTRY HAY A\l) HOARDING SCHOOL REOPENS MONDAY'.

Arthur Guy j Empey, returning: from his vacation, j issued a statement yesterday in | which he emphatically denied that lie ! "J lt ' ever made a disparaging" remark : about drafted men, as he was reported I to have done in a curtain speech at a l Washington theater. Kmpey's report j ed remarks had been regarded as a ; possible cause of the revocation of I his commission after he had been i made a captain in the United States | Army. He said he was going to en list in the Tank Corps as a private | and strive for promotion through tile .Officers Training School, i Empey also made public a letter ! from Secretary Tumulty, which set ; forth the reasons why his commission I was revoked, that read: | _ "Referring to your letter of August 5, the Secretary of War reports that j the sole purpose of the commission 1 was to enable you to do recruiting | service. The commission having thus , been issued for a very special purpose. I it would have been obviously unwise to have allowed it to remain outstand ing particularly in view of the fact I that it would have constituted an ex | ception to the sound rule whereby commissions in the line of the Army are awarded. "The Secretary of War states that j there was no reflection of any sort up on you and that he stated so to the ] newspapermen in order that there | should be no misunderstanding of I your entire innocence in the matter. He also states that should you enter the Army by the ordinary processes and by your work commend yourself , for promotion there is no reason why | you may not receive and enjoy a com- I mission so earned."

Will McAdam to Look After • Reading and Pennsy Business J. Will McAdam, station agent for the Reading railway at Gebanon, has been made freight and passenger agent for both the Reading and pAin sylvania Railroad Companies at Geb anon. He has been long in the em ploy of the Reading and is well known throughout the Reading sys ! tern. His assistant will be T. lrvin ' Cox freight agent for the Pennsy at \ Gebanon for 21 years. All business will be handled at the Pennsy sta- I tion, the terminus of the Gebanon di- I vision, part of the Philadelphia di ! vision. The purpose of co-ordinating two stations by the Federal Railroad Ad ministration is to reduce the operat ing expenses here as well as else where. where competition existed. As the present Reading station at Gebanon is overcrowded with offices, and the Pennsylvania station's nu merous offices will be vacated soon as much of the business will be look ed after at Philadelphia division headquarters. Gebanon business will be handled at Pennsylvania railroad station. The selection of station agents in all cities where co-ordination has taken place has been upon the grounds of seniority of service. Mr. McAdam's long service of thirty-five years in the employ of the Reading railroad enables him to till this larger and more important office with effi ciency and satisfaction to the people. He is also especially fortunate in having as an assistant. Mr. Cox who has had a long experience with the Pennsylvania and Cornwall and Geb anon railroad.

HARRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH CITY MAY FILL PLACES VACATED DURINGTHE WAR Temporary Appointments to Police Force Permissible, Solicitor Fox Rules Vacancies in the city police force, caused by patrolmen entering the navul or military service, may be filled temporarily in the same way that permanent vacancies are tilled City Solicitor Fox this morning told Mayor Keister at a meeting of City Council. As soon as this opinion was made known, Frank O. Jackson, 608 Forster street, was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the entrance of A. Denny Bibb into the army. Four similar vacancies will be tilled after an Informal conference, be tween Mayor Keister and the other members of Council The appointment of Joseph H. Snyder, 1935 Green stret, was made by Mayor Keister, to till the vacancy caused by the resignation of Clarence S. Hoff man. Hoffman left the force on August 15. The two appointees led the civil service eligible list. Their appointments are effective at once. The ordinance prohibiting the parking of vehicles in Second street, between Strawberry and Walnut, for a period longer than is necessary for loading and unloading, was passed finally. > ' Commissioner Gross introduced an ordinance which passed tirst reading and which empowers him to receive bids for fire hose and to award con tracts for hose in amounts not ex ceeding an aggregate of $2,500. Commissioner Lynch advised his col leagues that George L. and Charles A'. Doehne had paid $33.98 into the City Treasury to cover the cost of repairing the guard rail on the Mul berry street bridge which had been damaged by one of the Doehne auto trucks. Council adopted a resolution which transfers that money to re imburse Lynch's bridge repair fund. The City Commissioners passed another Council ses'sion this morning without electing a police matron and it became known at the meeting that a choice has not been made because the Commissioners are divided and all cannot agree on any one of the three women who, under the civil service examinations and rules, are eligible for the post. At least two of the Councilmen are known to be op posed to the Mayor's choice and a third commissioner urged the Chief Executive to hold the matter over another week. • The Mayor would not say whom he favors. Neither would any of the other members of Council throw any light on the subject. There is doubt if Council will make a choice before the end of the month. A special Council session will be held next Monday in lieu of the regular Tues day meeting because the commission ers and other city officials will leave rcxt Monday night for Erie to attend the annual three-day convention of the League of Cities of the Third Class, but it is not believed that the police matron will be selected at the tpc< ial meeting. Slipping Peace Stuff Under Harrisburg Doors Peace propagandists are evidently at work in Harrisburg. Under a door in a residence north of the central sec tion of the city was slipped this morn ing this lea/ from one of Dr. John J. Muliowney's "peace and good will" calendars: With all the moral power that conies from the tender depths of human pity, we plead—and pray —with you. our torn and distract ed brethren, to lay down your arms. Dr. Mullowney is a Quaker, and was formerly connected with the State Health Department. He is the author of several pacifist leallets, and it is thought probable that the propagand ist who is pushing these pages under the doors in Harrisburg has found the Mullowney calendar convenient for his purpose. Harrisburg people havo too many sons on the other side to be deceived by German peace stuff at this time. It's Berlin for the Yanks. Military Unit Planned For Lebanon Valley College President G. D. Gossard, of Lebanon Valley College. Annvtlle, yesterday received the following telegram con cerning the establishment of a unit of the Students' Army Training Corps at that school: "Your institution having satisfied conditions prescribed In circular let ter of June 29, upon the basis of your figures steps will be taken at once to establish-* unit of the Students' Army Training Corps. "An officer of the United States Army will be detailed and will, upon arrival, proceed with the organization of your unit, "Rifles, uniforms, overcoats and other equipment will be shipped at an early date." Students, of draft age, are urged by the government to enlist in the S. A. T. C„ where they can have the bene fit of being in the U. S. Army and get both a college course and mili tary drill at the same time. Students will have an opportunity to attend a summer camp for military training, with expenses paid and the regular soldier's pay. Members of the S. A. T. C. will be subject to call to active duty at any time in case of an emergency. It will be ttie policy of the govern ment. however, to allow students to remain in college until they reach the age of 21, or until they complete their course of study. Lieut. Col. Fetzer Is Killed in France' Lieutenant Colonel William Wal lace Fetzer, of Milton, the first man of that rank in the old National Guard of Pennsylvania to be killed in action during the recent offensive, was well-known among Harrisburg people. Fetzer, whose name uppcura in to-day's casualty list among those of the Twenty-eighth Division, was for seme years principal of the Mil ton schools. Colonel Fetzer was transferred to th" engineers when the old First Pennsylvania Cavalry was broken up and its men scattered in the various Federal units. Colonel Fetzer was a member of the First Cavalrv for several years, and commanded the second squadron as major when the regiment went to the Mexican border two years ago. At Camp Hancock many of the officers were honorably discharged for physical reasons and Major Fetzer was promoted to be second ir. regimental command.

About fifty members of the com mittee will be present. The meet ing is of much Interest to Steelton residents as there are a large num ber of Slovenians in the borough. Official statement of the session is as follows: "The Central Committee of the Slovak League of America will hold a session at the Jednota BuiUbng near Highspire, August 21 and 22." "The most conspicious figure at this meeting will be Colonel Vladimir Hurban, of the Czechoslovak Army t" Russia. There will be about thirty members of this eomlnittee present." "The Slovak League together with the Bohemian National Alliance is co-operating with the Czechoslovak National Council whose headquar ters ure in Paris, France. This council has been recognized by En gland, France and Italy as the .gov ernment pro tempore of the Czecho slovak Stale to be established after the war. The Allies see the necess ity of forming an independent Czechoslovak State to prevent Ger many from creating a "Mittel europa," which would place all Europe under German hegemony and threaten the safety of United States." "The Czechoslovak Army number ing about 150,000 men (larger than the Belgian or the Serbian Army) operates in France and in Italy and makes history for itself in Russia by overthrowing the pro-German Bolshevik Party, causing much un easiness to the German government and thus relieving the pressure at the western front. The activities of this brave army deserves the hearti est co-operation of the United States Government and we hope Colonel Vladimir Hurban to be successful in submitting his cause before the representatives of the American principle."

Wants One System For All Phon<* WiiMliiiiKtoit, Auk. -o.—Postui&fltAj General Burleson has undertaken ih< unification of all telephone lines in the United Stutes into a single sys tern. With the American Telephone and Telegraph Company's lines as the central unit, it is planned to bring the numerous lines now competing with the Bell telephone network intd the sstem, a project whicli the Bell management has long supported as a development of the "greatest import* ance to tile telephone in this c.%ti try. Several months of negotiations with the owners of numerous inde* pendent companies are expected td pass before details of the plan ari ready for announcement. The American Telephone and Tele 4 graph Company is dominant in the telephone business of the nation through its own long distance and local lines und the interest which i| has in numerous companies. Thd company's own property. togethel witli the property of its suhsidiiariej and the concerns which connect with their lines form the Bell system.
