the astronomer who was selected by Gov
Brumbaugh and a committee of Pennsyl-
vania editors. as the States most promi-
aent citizen to receive the medal decora-
ton of the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
BY combination the statue likeness
and a Photographic likeness whi is pro-

marvellous likeness is obtained which has
every appearance of a living person BY
Prof smiths device. which he calls the

be made of living subject, and these
photographs filed away to be reproduced

ten SUBS BUILT in
u. S. CROSSED OCEAN
Now in War for ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of American Firm Unequaled in
Submarine Construction.

New York, Sept 4.-According to a
story published here today ten submi
rines were built by an American NJ
crossed the Atlantic. under their own
steam and became units vi Ine Brit
ish navy, five now being stationed on
Heligoland and five operating at the
Dardanelles.
Americas achievement. so the story
goes accomplished the transatlantic
submarine while the rest of the world
was dreaming of the possibility OF
such craft being developed.
The work was done by the Bethele-
helm Steel Company as a contract OBJ
lined in England by Charles NJ.
Schwab. The parts were made in
this country and assembled at Mon
treal, because of the ruling OF the
Secretary of State that submarines
for the warning powers could not be
built in the United States.
So quietly was the work done that
the German spies had no inkling of
1t and in FIVE months after the con-
tract was secured the submarines
were in the waters of Canada in
charge of crews sent over from Eng
land for the purpose.
The building capacity of the
Bethlehem Steel Company. in con-
junction with the Electric Boat Com
pany, in 100 submarines a year. This,
1t is said, will be doubled in the near
future.
Officials of the Navy Department find
nothing surprising to them in. the pub
lished reports that ten submarines cross
ed the Atlantic from Canada recently
and now are serving with the allied
forces In European and Turkish waters.
1t Is pointed out that the long cruise of
the submarines is nothing remarkable,
submarines of the United States having
frequently made cruises Of equal dis
lance. Only last year a division of
submarines was sent out to Honolulu
from the west coast.
1t is not doubted at the department
that many parts of submarines have been
built in the United States and sent to
Canada to go into the construction of
submarines there. The Navy Depart
ment has not attempted to exercise any
control over such manufacture and ex-
portation, and it is thought quite prob
able that American labor and American
material played large part in the con-
struction of the ten submarines said
to have been launched in Canadian
waters and sent across the Atlantic.

Berlin (via Amsterdam. September A.
Germany's acceptance Of the American
proposals as to the manner of waging
submarine warfare is Endorsed by the
leading Teutonic newspapers.
The Tageblatt in an article by Theo-
dore Woln, its editor, sounds the key
note Of the opinion held by the better
class German papers in the following
words:
THE concession that passenger ships
shall be torpedoed only after warning
and saving non-combatants will certainly
not have a far reat hing influence on the
outcome of the war. and II a way Is now
found to render easier the prevention OF
painful catastrophes such as that Of the
Lusitania that is clearly to our interest
and in line with our feelings"
The Tageblatt's editor believes that the
prevention Of break between Germany
and America is bound to have its effect
on the Balkan nations. which will be
deferred from joining the allies.
