MIGHTY COLUMN OF FALLEN NAVY TRAILS AFTER VICTOR YANKEE GUNNERS READY TO FIRE ON GERMANY'S SHIPS Order of Admiral Only Needed to Draw Cannon HEART OF BIG FLEET YIELDS Great Cruisers in Ocean Pageant in Defeat By Associated Hrcss Ftlinburgli. Nov. 22. Germany, as a, naval power, has, ceased to exist. The heart of her mighty tleet—fourteen ships of the line, seven light cruisers and fifty destroy ers yesterday surrendered to an armandu of British. American and French vessels, the greatest fighting force that ever stood out to sea. Admiral Beatty's historic signal after the German fleet had been moored at the appointed place was: "The German flag is to be hauled down at 3.57 and is not to be hoisted j again witnout permission.' The minutely detailed program of submission laid down by the com- I armada of British. American and' ried out strictly according to plan. The German warships, strung out in u single column almost twenty miles long, appeared at the rendezvous at the appointed time and were led into the Firth of Forth between twin columns of Allied ships which over lapped the Germans at each end. I.ast night the enemy craft were an chored in the Firth, under guard as prisoners. A surrender on such a gigantic scale has no precedent in naval his tory. The surrender automatically raised the United States to second position among the world's naval powers. The German ships were sighted My the Allied columns.at Si.2o o'clock docilely following their British pilot the light cruiser Cardiff, which with destroyers and other small craft, had ranged ahead of the Allied fleet. Every vessel steaming out to meet them flew ensigns and was ready to annihilate the enemy's forces if their mission proved to be other than peaceful. Five American battleships, the New York. Texas, Arkansas, Wyom ing and Florida, were prepared to fire every gun If the signal was given by Bear Admiral Rodman. Weigh Anchor ill Moonlight The main Allied fleet extending over a line fourteen miles long in the Firth of Forth began to weigh anchbr at 1 o'clock in the morn ing. It was moonlight.

Davis, 'superintend i ent of transportation of the Harrls j burg Railways Company, wan not | prepared to say what the opipfon of ! the directors of the Harrlsburg Rail ' ways Company Is concerning the re i sumption of the multiple stops, he did say that the service under the new system is greatly improved. Pa trons of the company, he said, would be annoyed with the resumption of stops at every half square and the contingent slowing U,own of the ser vice. Service Is Bettered Mr. Davis said that with the re duced number of Btops, In addition to the quicker service for long run passengers, there is less tying up of traffic. Cars which formerly were forced to stop at every half square, constantly were losing their places in the schedule, and cofifusing traf fic, Mr. Davis said. He expressed it as his opinion that patrons would sooner walk a half block for a car ! and then secure quicker service, .than be able to board a car at any corner ; or alley, and then be subjected to the i annoyance of numerous unnecessary | stops during one short haul. The : i skip stop was recommended by the ' experts who last year made the sur i vey of conditions here. ! It Is likely, however, that a few of I the stops eliminated during the skip stop period, will be replaced. This I would apply only to where the skip ■ stops make the distance between I stops so long 'as to depreciate the ! service, it was said.

LIGHTING BAN 1 RAISED BY FUEL ADMINISTRATION Conservation of Coal to Be i Directed by Educational Campaigns There will be no more "lightless nights." The order which for the past several months has made Mon day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day nights altogether "lightless," so far as outside illumination is con-. eerne*, and every night more or less lightless. was rescinded to-day. | The revoking order was made 1 subject to the abilty of the.Hur-| risburg Light and Power Company j to carry the additional load. The ! Light and Power Company annouttc- j ed that It is fully able to take care ■ of the demands, so lights may now I lie burned at any time and in any | degYee desired by tlie consumer.

M.

J J- Druggists Who Sell Alcohol Without Medication Are Threatened With Arrest Evidence that so-called non-bev erage alcohol is being sold in this city without sufficient compounding was brought tQ light to-day througli a statement issued by Collector of Internal Revenue B. F. Davis, in which he warns pharmacists against dispensing such alcohol contrary to Federal rulings. The government permits the sale of this article only between bonded dealers, and it can not legally be obtained under a phy sician's prescription unless it is so compounded or medicated as to ren der it unfit for u9e as a beverage. The statement to-day said that in formation has been received by the collector that pharmacists are dis pensing the "non-beverage alcohol" on physicians' prescriptions without medication its prescribed by the Bu reau of Internal Revenue. The Bu reau prescribes that alcohol can be furnished in this manner under one of ten formulae, but unless In the compounding it is <o medicated as to-render it useless as a beverage, it is a clear violation of the law. The only other way in which such alcohol can be obtained Is by per mits obtained through bonding, and Bale without medication is permitted only by one bonded dealer to another bonded dealer. In case of prescrip tion compounding, the druggist will be held responsible as to the suffi ciency of the medication. It Is thought that/ the warning issued to-day per tains in particular to such cases where Insufficient compounding has not been observed.
