14 NAVAL OFFICERS 1 BELIEVE U-BOAT HERE TO STAY Americans Do Not Think Sub marine Will Re Abolished as Instrument of War Washington, Sept. 3.—Abolition of j the submarine as an instrument of modern warfare does not seem prob- j able to American naval officers who j have given careful study to the ar- , guments put forth before Allied [ Naval Commissions investigating the j subject. It is the belief of these officers that submarines will become more and more numerous in the \ principal navies of the world during the next few years. In reviewing the deliberations of, the Allied Commissions on Naval Terms. American officials lind that while many pertinent arguments were developed against the use of submarines, many strong points also were advanced in their favor. I'he principal argument for this abolition J was that as long as the submarines were recognized as legitimate in- I struments of warfare there would j remain the danger of some nation re- I peating the ruthless and inhuman campaign inaugurated by Germany. Advocates of the submarine, how-1 ever, do not believe such past inhu manities should be the determining factor in deciding whether the sub marine should be abolished. The naval faction, both in this country and abroad, opposed to the abolition of the submarine, believe • that the factor of possible merci lessness of the undersea craft should not be separated from the equal and possibly worse horrors of gas war fare, bombing from the air and mines. The parallel between the submarine and the marine mine seems closest, particularly since the mine is now and has for many years been recognized by all nations as a legitimate instrument of war. Fig ures gathered by the British during the war show that the losses to .' British merchant shipping through mines amounted to 0.377,000 tons compared with 5,739,000 tons sunk toy submarines. Weapon of Usefulness The argument has been advanced that despite the fact that the best lapsntive genius of several nations worked on the problem of devising means to wipe the submarine out of Bo Careful What You Wash Your Hair With ■bat soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very • Injurious as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.

At tho worst, naval strategists i point out, it is never a liability that - must be protected and defended. It ! is admitted among naval men that ' the big ship still rules the seas. How ' long this will bp true is the question now taxing the best naval brains of ! the world. It is conceded for the | present, at least, that the nation , that holds blindly to one line of naval development and neglects an [ other, particularly the submarine, I will be in great ultimate danger, i While the nations having the strongest navies have throughout the | peace deliberations shown a dis ! position to agree to the abolition of the Submarine, the smaller and , weaker nations maintain that, hav ! ing less powerful navies, they are I forced to cling to the more power ful instruments of protection and offense and that therefore they must retain the submarine as a matter of i self-presedvation. Series of Games to Decide County Baseball Honors i While the season is almost over, ! baseball fans are still hoping fot a : series to decide the county cham i pionship. Hummelstown Firemen dispute the claim of West End and are willing to give the local cham -1 pions a chance to prove their claim. Middletown has a claim and will play any team disputing that claim. Hershey has been eliminated and fans in Hummelstown. Middle town and other towns are laughing over the claim they make. The Hci - shey A. C.. according to statement from managers, has been fairly de feated. Until the present city champion ship series is over, the West End management will not be in a pu sition to give an answer to Huiii melstown's claim. It is the belief that with favorable weather an elimination series at Island Park between West End. Hummelstown and Middletown would prove a good moneymaker and afford much inter est for fans. R. C.

LONG TALKS ON TELPHONESARE INTERDICTED Fifteen-Minute to Half-Hour Conversations on Party Lines Not Fair to Public It is the duty of telephone pa trons, particularly on country and | other lines, "where a considerable | number of subscribers are depend i cnt on the same wires, to use the ! telephone in such a manner as not j unduly to interfere with the use of | the line by other patrons," and a • tifteen-minute conversation, except | under unusual circumstances, is not i fair, says Chairman \V. 1). B. Ainey, j of the Public Service Commission in j ruling in complaint of D. Elmer l Hough against the West End Rural j Telephone Co. This is the first of ficial utterance by tlie Commission I in a case where it was alleged that i people used telephone lines for such ! prolonged conversations that it pre vented other subscribers from get i ting service. The complaint was that the tele | phone company had cut off service [ after a dispute over a hill in which iit was also alleged that the com i plainant and his family had abused ! the privileges and annoyed and in i convenienced other subscribers by not "getting off the line." The decision holds that a tele phone company is obliged to give [ public service and has no right to a selected patronage. The fact that j it was built largely for convenience of a local community and by stock | holders whose primary object was ; to secure telephone service for them selves does not in any way under its 1 charter and the public service law lessen its responsibility. It is not I permitted to discriminate. On the other hand, says Air. Ainey, individ uals -have neither an unlimited nor j exclusive right or privilege to the , service. The service must be ac- I cepted with full recognition of rights ; of other persons. ! "Tlie retention of a telephone line ; by a patron for conversation where the service is not measured or the line not a single party one, except • under unusual circumstances, for periods running from 15 minutes to half an hour is an unwarranted ; deprivation of public use to which ; other patrons on party lines are en ; titled," says Air. Ainey. "The char acter of patrons in no way affects the obligation of public service, al - I though patron's conduct may be | such as would justify a public serv . ice company in refusing them a con , tinuance of it." Service is ordered restored to the complainant. Klein Team Me sis Rivals in New Cumberland Game Baseball fans in Harrisburg and vicinity who have enjoyed games played by the Klein Chocolate Com pany team, will be given a number of future games by Manager Johnny Bracken ridge.

Bth Dances Continue Wednesday and Saturday Until October 1 Concert Sunday Afternoon, September 7 INVENTED THE "CLOSE-UP" | I>. W, Griffith Also Introduced Other Ellin Innovations Tho popular "close-up," known to every motion picture patron the world over, is the invention of David Wark Griffith, whose latest stipcr-pro dnction, "The Mother and tho Law." will be seen for a limited engage ment at the Victoria nil next week, coming direct from the George Al. Cohan Theater. It was in a little out-of-the-way motion picture theater in New York ;ity where spectators first saw the "close-up." They had always seen figures In tho far-off. Bqt here was i face as full and close as a mother's Dver a cradle-bod. It so startled the audience that they thought the pic ture was out of focus and begun to stamp their feet and cry, "Where are their legs?" Soon the novelty de lighted them and they applauded the large figures on the screen. David Work Griffith created tho "close-up." And later came other historic improvements from, the ever searching brain of the man who has for years stood quite alone in the world of motion picture art as tho producer of super entertainment. Mi'. Griffith brought suspense to the films by the introduction of what is known |ns the "cut-back." And then came tlie "fade-away." the "long-shot" and |on and on until now he stands ac knowledged the supreme dramatic [genius of the age. While others have since used these tools, it was Air. Griffith who placed them in their | hands and taught them how. And yet, to his credit and because of his love of tho motion picture as an art and Ivn educational medium, he gracious ;ly has enacted no royalty for their use. David Wark Griffith is the pro iucer of "The Fall of Babylon," "The Mother and tlie Law," "The Birth of a Nation," "Hearts of the World" and numerous other feature productions that now occupy a prominent posi tion in tho world of entertainment and spectacle. Air. Griffith is but 39 years of ago. lie was born in La Grance, Kentucky, tho son of Colonel and Mrs. Jacob W. Griffith. He is one of five children, and the only member of his family to become actively engaged in the theater. He was educated in Louis ville, became an actor and appeared In many Broadway dramatic succes ses. When the motion picture indus try was in its babyhood Mr. Griffith brought forth such prominent stars Of the present day as Alary Pickford. Blanche Sweet, Alae Marsh, Robert Ifarron, Lillian and Dorothy Gish and others. Mr. Griffith resides in Los Angeles. Ca!., where his mammoth studios are located. WILLIAM EAHM M IX PEHIL IX MIXE BLAST William Farnum narrowly escap ed injury in an explosion in a mine shaft while making the new Farnum feature, "Wolves of the Night." The explosion was staged when Mr. Far num, the hero, was to be entombed in the mine. Because of the necessity of setting off a light charge, an abandoned shaft had to be obtained—since no mine owner would take chances on damaging an active working. For days a gang of workmen was at work shoring up the crumbling walls and roof. The" noint at which the explo sion took place proved safe enough, but a hundred yards away a lot of f rock was brought down on two of the workers who believed themselves at a secure distance. Air. Farnum was nearby.
