Washington Woman Has
Plan to Make Germany
Protect Neutral Ships

Philadelphia. Feb. 25.-In one
of a series of talks on current his
tory given under the auspices of
the Whitford Lodge committee of
the Pennsylvania Association of
Women Workers in the Broad
Street Theater yesterday Miss Janet
E. Richards. of Washington. vice
president of the Women's Peace
Movement, presented novel
means for the United States to pre-
vent Germany from deliberately
sinking our merchant vessels within
the war zone"
She urged that America refuse
the hospitality of her protecting
harbors TO the thirty-eight Ham
burg American liners. among which
are such floating palaces as the
Naterland and the George Wash
inEton, II Germany fails to give
sufficient protection to our trading
ships which are forced TO enter the
waters now traversed by threaten
ing German submarines. This sug-
gestion was warmly applauded by
the 500 women who sat before her.
Miss Richards said that she had
even gone so far as to make the
same suggestion to the White
House. II was not meant as
measure partial to England. she
said. for under the same circum-
stances she would apply Just as
drastic a remedy in case of trouble
with that country.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-02-25

The second week of Germany's sub
marine campaign opened to-day with
the loss of two more British ships. The
steamers, Western Coast and Dept
ford, were sunk off the English coast
elther by mines or torpedoes. Pre-
Niously ten vessels, seven of them
British, have been sent to the bottom.
Germany apparently is preparing 20
extend the field of these operations
for three submarines have been sent
to Pola, presumably for use in the
Adriatic and Mediterranean.
The American proposals for ces-
saton of this form of warfare and the
admission of foodstuffs to Germany are
before the German and British gov
ernments but there are no indications
whether they will find acceptance.
German Claim Denied
Germany's claim to an oVerwhelm-
ing victory in East Prussia. resulting in
the actual >nnihilation of the Russian
Tenth Army is denied categorically by
the Russian general staff. The admis-
sion is made that two army corps suf-
fered heavily during the retreat but
the remaining corps are said to have
escaped from the German surround
ing movement. Efforts of the Ger
mans to clinch their victory by strik-
ing a decisive blow in Northern Po-
land are leading to continuous battles
all along this section of the front the
outcome of which the Russian staff
does not attempt to forecast
Hardly less intense is the campaign
in the Carpathians. The Petrograd
announcement claims successes for the
Russians in small engagements Dis

Approved Today
UNCLE SAM GIVES SAME SUM

Governor Brumbaugh to-day an
nounced his approval of the bill ap-
propriating 100000 for the payment
of the States share of the cost of cat
tie killed, property destroyed and other
expenses incurred in combating the
foot and mouth disease, a like amount
having been made available by the
federal government. 1t is the inten-
ton of the State Livestock Sanitary
Board to take immediate steps to put
out the money. as many farmers have
been waiting for weeks for the State
to reimburse them.
II is estimated that 1000 animals
of various kinds were destroyed in
fighting the disease. making il the
most expensive outbreak ever known
in the cattle industry in PENNSYLVANIA
and causing destruction of many val
liable herds. Approximately S26,000
above the half-million appropriated is
claimed in vouchers filed with the
board and these and other expenses
which may be incurred before the close
of the session will he cared for. The
national government has already pro-
vided its half of the expense. The
cattle will be paid for as appraised
under the provisions of the act of last
session and in all probability claims
for sums over and above those allowed
by the appraisers will be made. an or
ganization Of cattlemen having been
formed TO ask for additional funds
The State Livestock Sanitary Board
will meet at p. m. to take action on
a foot and mouth quarantine against
New Jersey and to modify county
qusrantines.

increasing the salary Of the chief of
the bureau Of standards of the Depart
ment of Internal Affairs from $4,000
TO $4,000. This officer has charge of
weights and measures and the place is
filled by James Sweeney, who organ
