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

existence, the subsurface craft re-
I mains the only long-radius vessel
that, alone and unsupported, can go
j nearly anywhere and, entirely tlis
! counting its main purpose of tor
! pedoeing enemy warships, its unique
i defensive qualities makes it a naval
; weapon of the utmost usefulness
i even when restricted in its use

At tho worst, naval strategists
i point out, it is never a liability that

' long this will bp true is the question
now taxing the best naval brains of

I will be in great ultimate danger,
i While the nations having the
strongest navies have throughout the

the Submarine, the smaller and

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.

Belfast. Tuesday, Sept. 2—Blr Ed

Big Policies Paid
by Insurance Co.
Harrisburg ano its surrounding
towns came in for a good share of the
insurance payments made during the
year 191 S. according to the current
issue of The Insurance Press. Five
hundred and fifty-eight thousand is
roughly the estimate of the amounts
n.tid out. In Carlisle the fourth larg
est individual claim in the UnlteJ
Slates was paid to the heirs of Frank
C. Hosier, president of the Carlisle
Deposit Bank, the sum being $400,-
000. I-larrisburg ranked eighty-first
among the cities of this country in
the amount of insurance paid, and
eighth in the Pennsylvania list. The
total amount of insurance paid by
companies during the year amounted
to $923,100,000. The Bureau of War
Risk Insurance paid out $192,710,000,
making tl e total of all insurance paid
out in the country $1,115,810,000.

Emma Alack, colored, of 642 Caldor

The money was extracted from the

the "doctor" asserted that it was
necessary to keep in her possession
for some time several personal
articles of the patient. Something
had to be furnished to carry away
the charms against evil, and the
"doctor" was supplied with the suit

to see hew the cure was working,
she promised. Thus far. however,
she has fulled to appear and police

LONG TALKS ON

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.

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.

located.

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
