Sarcasm in Russian Comment

don,' Nav 8 delayed in Transmission)
That the United States should refuse
further to represent Germany in diplo-
matte dealings with her adversaries be-
cause of the Lusitania tragedy, is the
editorial opinion expressed by the
"Outro Rossie" of Moscow. a daily
paper widely read by business men and
bankers. 1t is pointed out that while
hundreds of the Lusitania s passengers
including many Americans, were lying
at the bottom of the Irish Sea, United
States diplomatic representatives were
investigating the condition of German
prisoners in Russia. The paper closes
its editorial by saying:
Elemental sentiment, which is part
of international relations demands an
immediate refusal by the government
of the United States further to repre-
sent Germany before European coun-
tries warning with her. Friendly serv-
ices hardly are suitable for the United
States to give in face of the cry ascend.

some of the operators have quit the
business and conservative estimates
place the number now, in operation at
between 125 and 1870.
Most of the jitney operators who
consented to discuss their business said
that the daily receipts average about
~. Some of the more conservative
fixed Sc as the average. Others said
that on especially busy days they have
collected as much as SO.
As a rule, the chauffeurs have no
schedule and simply depend on the
placards they carry on their ears to at,
tract passengers, thereby taking the
chance of making a quick, brief trip for
the fare.
The 1876 jitney licenses all were lift
ed'after the Jitney Transportation Com
pany was organized by local capitalists
who announced their intention to oper-
ate scent bus line. Officers of that
company declined to-day to announce
their plans for the future, saying they
now are awaiting the action of the
State Legislature on a number of pend
ing bills which have to do with the
operation of jitneys. n
Several jitney owners declared to-
day that their expenses are very heavy.
"We are constantly repairing the
car and ] fear if | were not able to
make the repairs myself instead of hav-
ing the machine shopped, l would be
compelled to quit the business said
one of the operators.
Accidents have bcfallen a number of
cars and the expenses incurred thereby
have made the owners of some Of the
buses think it advisable to quit the
game.

MARKET HAS THE DULLEST
FIRST HOUR IN MANY WEEKS
Business Up to II O'Clock Aggregated
Less Than 100000 Shares-As Ses-
sion Progressed Trading Became
Even Lighter

New York, May 1S.-Wall Street
Heaviness was the dominant feature
of to-day's early stock market, all
branches of the list registering declines.
Numerous leaders were affected to the
extent of a point or more as were also
the speculative specialties. Dealings
were again extremely moderate and
plainly of professional origin. United
States Steel, Reading and Union Pa
cife were singled out for bear pres
sure.
Prices made slight recovery from the
opening level but went lower later.
Business up to IL O'Clock aggregated
less than 100000 shares, or the duliest
first hour in many weeks AS the ses-
sion progressed trading became even
lighter with complete absence of pub
lie interest. Private cables from Lon
don were not altogether assuring, al
though Americans were fairly steady
at that center. Domestic news was a
tribe mixed, with unconirmed reports
of crop damage in the southwest. Bonds
were easy.

Wall From Germany on Note

The tdague, Netherlands, May Is,
Via London, 2.45 ?. M.-Berlin news
papers as rule refrain from comment
upon the American note to Germany
The "Tages Ieitung,'' however, dis
cusses the note in "a half-column article
1t says:
"The United States makes the
brusque demand that Germany aban-
don submarine war against Great Brit
ain. The United States disregards with
complete disdain the German war zone
declaration communicated to Washing
ington on February 4 and later in the
course of the exchange of notes, disap.
proves as surprising irregularity' the
German embassy's warning in the press
and permits itself to impute to the Ger
man government as an excuse the prob
ability that German submarine COM
manders acted contrary to orders.
Sees British Hand in Note
Whoever reads this note without
prejudice can scarcely escape the i'm
preston that the British Ambassador
at Washington was not far away when
il was framed. One could equally as
well imagine its contents to be a speech
by Premier Asquith in the House of
Commons
Count Won Reventlow, the naval
critic, declares that the German war
zone declartion followed the British
declaration, against which America
failed to protest.
'The present note, so far as con
Germs torpedoed ships, makes English
conclusions and untrue statements its
own,'i he writes. "Germany knew
what she was doing when she made her
decision and had considered all possible
consequences.
U. S. Materials Prolonging War
Germany must and will have her
way, and leave it to the United States
to choose other ocean paths than those
through the war zone, if American citi
zens have a desire to visit Europe in
these times and observe how American
war materials are prolonging the bloody
war. -
The "Vossische Ieitung' merely re-
marks incidentally that the authorized
translation of the American note shows
&C. the same sharp form" as the version
received from the Havas Agency.

1874, whereas other cities of like popu-

sifcation. Lancaster is not operating
under the Clark third class city bill of
two years ago.>It was feared, too, that
unless Lancaster was excepted in the

unconstitutional and it was recalled
for amendments to make sure the bill
would not get executive disapproval on

There is opposition to the bill in the

early this morning when the message
was received from Governor Brum-
baugh that he had signed the resolu-
tion of the House and Senate recalling
the measure for the purpose of amend
ment. Mr.. Walton offered his amend
ments proposing cutting out cities op-
Grating under special charters, which
meant Lancaster. Mr.. Spangler, of
York, then proposed an amendment
which would make the bill apply only
to cities whicli>have full paid fire de-
partments. Erie is the only third class
city where there is full paid fire de-
partment.
This provision had already been
stricken from the original bill because
it was held not to be constitutional and
this effort again to make the bill un-
constitutional was defeated. Mr.. Wal.
ton expects some opposition when the
bill comes up for action, but he be-
lieves that his agreement with legisla.
tive leaders will carry the bill through.
Other members of the House from
third class cities who are eager to see
the bill pass, share Mr.. Walton's op-
timistic view as to the chances of its
passage.
Bills Effect on Harrisburg
A feature of the measure is that it
requires present employees of the de-
partments affected to have had two
years experience at their jobs in order
to be exempt from the requirement that
they take civil service examinations if
they are to be retained. In Harris.
burg it wouEt have the effect of oust.
ing two police sergeants and about ten
other policemen who have not yet had
two years experience. They would
have to take their examinations with
new applicants for positions on the
force and on the same basis as the new
applicants.
