US. SHIP HIT BY
BOMBS GERMAN
A|RMEN DROPPED

WASHINGTON, May American
Minister Van Dyke, at The Hague,
reported to the state department tor
day that the American steamer
Cushing from Philadelphia for Rot
terdam, was damaged by bombs
dropped from German aircraft In the
North Sea, but that no lives wers
lost
The report was brief transmitting
a message from the American con-
sui at Rotterdam where the Gushing
arrived yesterday. 1t gave no indica-
tion of the nature or the extent Of
the damage.
Officials here said the case was the
first of its kind during the presenf
war and that so far as they could
recollect there was no precedent ia.
other wars. While there are no if5<
ternational conventions specifical1y
covering the incident, it was generaIIy'
believed today that representations
would be made to Germany with d
request for payment of damages on'
the ground that a neutral ves9eL
which under the ordinary rules fQy
International law should be free frbm
molestation, had been attacked
1t was not thought at official Quar-
ters that any serious issue would be
raised because 1t is accepted that
the bombs were not dropped delib@1
erately but under the impression that
hostile vessel was being attacked.

FUND CANVASS
GOING AHEAD
IN QUIET WAY
Some of the City Celebration
Collectors Seeking Subscrip-
tions Today.

Although this is supposed to be an
off day in the campaign for the
raising of q $250000 fund for tine
celebration of Newark'S 250th birth
day anniversary next year, many OF
the committeeman are going about
quietly on their own behalf and SEEK
ing subscriptions from persons on
their lists and others who have not
been listed.
l.. L. Redding, who is directing the
office force of the finance committee
of the Committee of One Hundred,
said that $4,000 in actual cash and
checks has been turned in to the
committee already.
Former Governor Franklin Mur :
phy, chairman of the Committee OF
One Hundred, was in an extremely
optimistic mood this morning and
predicted that the entire $2b0,000
would be raised before the close or
next week. Although some small
contributions have been drifting into
the committee headquarters in the
Kinney building today, no effort Will
be made to tabulate the returns nn-
less they grow to large proportions.
The official figures given out today
still indicate total subscriptions OF
$192,053, as announced yesterday.
that, beginning next week, the fund
raising campaign will become more
general in character. Subscriptions
will be solicited from members OF
the police and fire departments, from
school teachers, factory workers, en-
ployes of department and other stores
and all citizens, who may desire to
aid in paying the expenses of the
city's celebration.
Stress is laid on the fact that no
unwilling contributions are either
asked nor desired, and this point was
made clear today by Chairman Muir
ply. The committee leaders realize
that when a man or woman contrib
utes, no matter how small the con-
tribution may be. the interest of the
individual in the celebration becomes
keener 1t is for this reason that
school children will be- allowed to
contribute anything from five cents
up, and even pennies will not be re-
fused.
Appeals to Police and Ffremen.
Letters will be sent to Paul j.
Moore, chief of the fire department,
and to Chief of Police Michael T.
Long, together with blank subscrip-
ton cards, which they will be re-

individual police and firemen. After
the men have received the cards they
will be at liberty to destroy them or
fill them out for subscriptions, as no
personal solicitation Is contemplated.
This letter says in part
1T should be distinctly understood
that no unwilling contribution is de-
sired. Money is the cheapest thing
any person can give. 1t Is true. how
ever, that personal interest always
follows contribution. In this case 1t
is the individual interest in the cele-
bration which Is most desired. The
man who gives one dollar or five dol
lars or ten dollars In his personal
efforts will do as much-and probably
more-to make Newark's celebration
a success, as will the man who writes
his contribution in four or five figures.
"It Is the hope of the Committee OF
One Hundred, therefore, that every
member of the fire and police depart

TEN MORE SHELLS
FIRED ON DUNK|RK
BY GERMAN GUNS
Several Persons Killed in Con-
tinued Long-Distance
Attack.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 1.-The situation in
Flanders shows little change, although
the French claim a further advance
for the allies. The 15-inch shells with
which the Germans yesterday bonn
barded Dunkirk, hurting them per.
haps twenty miles from one of their
huge guns, are said to have blasted
in the ground craters, in some in
stances forty-five feet in diameter.
Ten more shells fell in DunIirk last
night, killing or injuring several per-
sons. The first report yesterday said
that the shells were fired by German
warships.
Fighting continues all along the ex-
tended Russian front. Chief interest
now attaches to the new German
movement in the north, aimed appar-
emily at the Baltic provinces of Rus
sia. Little is known concerning the
movement, beyond the German an
nouncement yesterday that they had
penetrated more than 100 miles from
the Prussian frontier.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
DAN AND THE KNIGHT,

Dan is queer boy, father" said the
blacksmith, as he rested his huge ham
mer on the anvil. The old father, who
sat near the door, looked up and
smiled
No, he is not queer. 1t is simply
that you do not understand him." re-
piled the grandfather. He wants to
be warrior and go to battle as a
knight. That is not strange. Many
of his ancestors were Knights
Just then Dan, rosy-cheeked lad
of IA, came runing in with the news
that the knight of the castle was COM
men. Dan was happy now. He
watched the soldiers as they sat about
the forge chatting; he gazed with adj
miration at the armor and plumes
which the knight wore in his helmet.
Their shining shields stood against the
trees and their lances were thrust
into the Sod
The next week the knight and his
men rode through the mountains to-
ward the east, but strange to say they
never came out. Day after day went
by all aL.cfe was no news of the men,
They seemed to have been swallowed
up. So completely had they disap-
peared.
The knights wife and pretty young
daughter were broken-hearted and
sought in vain to find a trace of their
soldiers. The men had started down
the road, ridden into the pass between
the mountain, and never been seen
again. Then other odd things began
to happen. 1t was said that wild lights
had been seen flashing about in the
pass, that the rafting as il

and slip into hole in the rocks.
Dan thought he would see how true
were these tales, so one moonlight
night he stole away on his colt and
rode to the pass in the hills. He

rocks and, hiding under the bush sat

lizard. while from its green hide there
shone a moldy light. The griffin
struck the rock with its tail. 1t opened
and the griffin vanished within.
In the top of the stone was a crack
and Dan could peep down. He saw &
vast hall of black marble all lighted
by the shine of the green griffin.
Along the walls were red banners and
in the center was a long table. But
strangest of all was the sight there
for at the table with his head bowed
on his hands sat the knight of the cas-
tie and his men, all fast asleep. The
griffin hit the ground with his tail,
the men awoke and moving about as
if walking in their sleep, began to

But Dan was not afraid. Taking the
chain he galloped back just as the
east was beginning to grow pink with
the rising sun. Presently he heard a
noise and saw the rock split open.
Out of it came the griffin. But by the
time his head was out in the road,

My dear Betty Brown: | am fifteen
years old and am not allowed to go
out anywhere at night. Besides, my
parents do not think it nice for a girl
to go to matinees or with young men.
They never allow me to go to moving
pictures or to my friends houses My
parents are going to take me out of
high school this fall.
Miss Betty, sometimes feel so lone.

hours. l go to bed at s o'clock, for |
have nothing to do otherwise. People
have suggested that l leave home. l
have been offered several positions
and have chances for a fairly good
saalry. What would you suggest?
Penned In.
Your parents may be working under
the oldfashioned impression that e
girl should not be allowed to go out
or to enjoy herself until she is eigh-
teen or older People are generally so
| lax with their children today that the
older attitude makes it all the harder
for you to bear.
What | cannot understand is that
your parents should refuse to allow
you to go to your girl friends houses,
even though they object to your going
out in the evening with boys. 1 do
think you are rather young to do this.
am wondering just what sort of a
future your parents are planning for
you, if they endeavor to cut you off
from all your friends at the time when
you are making your lifelong friend
ships.
If you left your home to go to work,
where would you live? Would it be
possible for you to stay with relatives?
Otherwise, | think that you are too
young to be thrown into the life OF
the ordinary boarding house. Your
salary is another consideration. Will
you have enough to clOthe yourself,
in addition to hating your board? If
you start out in life with small sal

ago | became acquainted with a girl
at school. We grew to be good friends,
but at length we had a misunderstood
ing. Four weeks later / received
note from her asking if | wanted to be
friends with her again. | answered,
telling her that l had always been her
friend and wished to continue so.
About a week ago she stopped speak
ing, and asked me to return a little
pin that she had let me wear. | had
lost it, and now she seems very angry.
Would it be right for me to offer to
pay for it? | have liked her better
than anyone else AS she is very nice
and rather quiet. / am going away
this summer and won't be back for
number of years. Can you help me?
S. O. Z
This business of exchanging pins is
always bound to be risky, for young
people may get careless and lose
them. Perhaps it would be the best
thing for you to buy the girl another
pin. If it is a fraternity or college PIN
it can be duplicated. 1t might insult
her to offer her money Tor the PIN
Of course, you have apologized by let
ter before this. Otherwise her attl-
tude is more than justified.
You seem to be two people who
are bound to have differences, and
since this is the case you ought to be
glad that you are to leave the city
in such a short time. l imagine that
both of you are rather sensitive and
inclined to take offense easily.
Hence, l believe that the best thing
for you to do is to duplicate the pin,
if possible, and let your further &C.
quaintance with the girl go at that.

Dear Betty Brown: l am young
Virginia girl attending high school.
There is a young man in our neighbor-
hood who thinks a great deal of me,
and he comes to the house sometimes.
He has no mother and father, and has
not been very we'll educated. He uses
incorrect language, such as Il seen"
and "fer." | have been tempted to
correct him, hut do not know whether
+ should take this on myself. Should
I? Flora.
l should think that the best way for
you to correct the boy would be by
your example. If he hears you speak
ing correctly, he will be likely to imi-
tate vOu-that is, if he is anxious to
learn. He probably realizes that you
have had better education than he.
If you speak in the correct way inn
mediately after he has made his mis-
takes, he will be more likely to realize
that they were mistakes. This plan
may not be successful, and if it is not,
perhaps you might try correcting him
to see how he likes it. He may be
sensitive and easily offended, but he
knows you so we'll that he might allow
YOU to correct him where others would
not be welcome.
