Playing No Small Part In Patrol
Work—Teuton Predictions Of Hav-

By June 1 Empty.

London.—The sinking of 18 mer-
chantmen of more than 1,600 tons is
ment,
and three fishing vessels also were
sunk.
The statement is as follows
“For the week ending Sunday, ar-
rivals, al! nationalities, 2,664; sailings,
2,759.
“British merchantmen of 1,600 tons

‘British merchantment
fully attacked, nine,
“British fishing vessels sunk, three.”
American Units Helped.
This week's figures of vessels sunk
by submarines show that the Allied
navies are keeping up the good work
of the previous fortnight, and the
American unit, although still a small
one, shares the credit for excellent
work. Not only are the sinkings be-

offensive against U-boats also continue
to show favorable results. The actual
figures in this respect, however, are
not known.
The British Admiralty this week
wears a pleased smile at the mention
of the submarine campaign, for the re-

two weeks are regarded as really in-

victory in the submarine warfare
seems as far distant as ever. There
has been a constant improvement in
the methods of the Allies in opposing
and suppressing U-boat activity, and
these methods have become more and
more successful with longer days and
finer weather, and increasing familiar-
ity on the part of the skippers of mer-
control.
An Admiralty official said:
“The American destroyers are play-
ing no small part in the anti-sub-
marine war, and our officers have ex-
pressed the greatest enthusiasm at the
spirit, enterprise, acumen and quick-
wittedness with which the American
unit has taken up its work. It is the
old American doctrine of keeping ever-
lastingly at it.
“The Germans, who at first said they
.wouN@trip us of our tonnage by June
1, have now advanced the date to Oc-
tober, and we are confident that when
October comes they will be under the
again.”
BAN ON SOCIALIST PEACE.

State Department Refuses Passports
* For Stockholm Meeting.
Washington.—Emphatie disapproval
of the peace propaganda of European
Socialists was expressed by the Ameri-
can Government, which denied pass-
ports to American delegates to the
Stockholm conference and issued a
warning that any American taking part
in the negotiations would be legally
liable to heavy punishment.
formal announcement of purpose was
issued, but officials explained that the
Government’s course would have the
two-fold effect of discrediting general-
ly any peace moves by unauthorized
persons and of condemning in particu-
lar the present Socialist agitation, re-
garded since its inceution as inspired
by Germany.

citizens. This demand has been made |
| through the Spanish Ambassador at |
Berlin, who represents American in-
terests in Germany.
The action of the German govern-
ment is in complete violation of the
Prussian-American treaties of 1799 and
1828, which provide certain rights for
nationals of either nation in the other
in time of war. One of these rights
is permission to depart at will for
nine months after the war declara-
tion. The United States has observed
| its obligations, having acted promptly
[on all applications of Germans to
leave the United States.
Relief Workers Held.
Among the Americans detained are
said to be relief workers in Belgium,
who stayed behind to gather up the
loose ends of the work at the time
Brand Whitlock and the majority of
the Belgian Relief Commission were
withdrawn. |
At the outbreak of the war there |
were some 3,000 Americans in Ger-

Trenches Gone.
Airplane photographs taken May 1
show beautifully symmetrical zigzags,
but the latest pictures taken contain
no trace of the trenches. The support
line also was badly “strafed,” some
6,000 yards of it now being in British
hands, leaving the Germans holding
the remaining 2,000 yards. The Hin-
denburg front line between the south
end of the captured trenches and
Bullecourt is in dire danger, as it is
flanked on both sides by the British.
Germans’ Fire Feeble.
The engagement was really made up
of two attacks—one in the early morn-
ing, when 70 prisoners were taken, and
the second late in the afternoon—the
two netting some 150 prisoners for
the day’s work in this sector. The
German artillery’s response was very
feeble and the counter-barrage during
the attack was particularly weak.
The prisoners taken came mostly
from the Forty-ninth Reserve Division,
which was recruited in the region of
Posen and Breslau. It came to the
west front from Roumania in Febru-
ary. Three officers are among the

The probabilities are that early con-

leave the nationals of both countries
on an even plane and the United States
will be in a position to legislate con- |

treaty obligations.
Besides the American civilians who
are being detained in Germany, latest
reports indicate Germany holding
about 130 other Americans in her pris-

part sailors captured on British or
other ships by German raiders or sub-
marines.

—Harrisbhurg
The Kline Senate bill, validating
marriages contracted on or before
January 1, 1896, which were followed
by continuous living together for 21
years, was vetoed by Governor Brum-
baugh in a long message, in which
he styles it “vicious special legisla-
tion, without one redeeming feature.”
The Governor says it is not sound in
either law or morals, and that it is
contrary to justice and social secur-
ity, as well as unconstitutional. The
Governor also vetoed:
The Dawson House bill, providing
for the State Highway Department to
take over abandoned right of way of
ra'lroads and railways.

pay damages to others than railroads.

The sum of $282,800 was made
available for the purchase of uniforms
and other equipment of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania, when the
Whitaker House bill was approved by
the Governor. The bill will provide
for the equipment of men to raise
guard units to war strength and* for
reserve militia,

The Governor also approved the
Crow Senate bills, reducing the per-
fod of which rominating petitions
may be filed from 60 to 40 days, and
giving 20 days additional to the per-
10d for certification of nominations.
Senate bills approved included:
Amending laws relative to filing of
reports of estates of habitual drunk-
prds.
Prohibiting incorporations of organ-
which would

Boards or Commissions.
Classifying inspectors of the De-

$2,000; 50 in Class 8 to be paid $1,800,
and 25 in Class C to be paid $1,500.
House bills approved were:
Providing fees of $1, and three
cents per mile mileage, for persons
attending the Coroners’ inquests in re-
sponse to subpoenas.

Secretary Patton says: “The Penn-

every indication of being far below
average. Statistics show that a
crop of about 21,500,000 bushels is
the prospect. This iv over 4,000,000
bushels less than the crop of last year
and Pennsylvania's annual consump-
tion of wheat is about 40,000,000
bushels. As prospects in other
States are no better, it behooves us,
as a duty to our nation, to put forth
every effort to raise such other crops
as will help to furnish the nourish-

wheat.

The War Department is negotiating
the managers of the Allentown
Society for the use of the lat-
ter’'s grounds as a training camp for
college student recruits and
3,500 mmbers of the ambulance corps.
Because of the fact that the fair has
overhead expenses aggregating $10,-
000 a year, it has asked rental to that
amount for the use of the grounds,
but whether the Government will
agree to pay that sum is as yet un-
decided. It may be necessary to
abandon the annual fair this year.
