INVENTORS POUR
in SUGGESTIONS
Flood War Department With
Proposals For Perfecting
Guns and Fortifications

A successful landing of Russian
troops and a subsequent drive into the
interior of King Ferdinaud's kingdom
would compel the bulk, If not all, of
the Bulgarian forces now al the Greek
frontier to abandon Macedonia for the
defense of their own country. This
would lueaVe unsupported the German
forces now threatening an invasion of
Greece.
The renewed shelllng of Varna has
given rise to the belief here that the
allied forces withdrawn from Gallipoli
Peninsula may be on the way to Salon
ica, to reinforce the Franco-BritiSh ex-
pedtion. In the event of Russian in
vasion of Bulgaria, the allies. with their
superiority in numbers, could calmly
await a German drive on Salonica and
would at the same time satisfy the de-
mands Greece made conditional to her
CO. cooperation with the allies.
On the other hand, the force from
the Dardanelles, it is believed, would
enable the Anglo-Fre troops at Sa-
lonica to march northeastward into
Bulgaria to cut the Orient Railway line
simultaneously with the contemplated
Russian attack from the coast.
1t was announced yesterday that Rus
sia had given up the plan to cut through
Rumania and attack Bulgaria and that
the Russian forces for some time con-
centrated in Bessarabia had been with
drawn.

PEACE PACT TO
END BIG FIGHT
Two Year War Between 0. b
and Federal League
About Over

Cincinnati. Ohio. Dec. 22.-Unless
obstacles now even undreamed of ap-
pear on the baseball horizon to-day, a
peace treaty between organized base
ball and the Federal League, one that
will bring to an end q two-year war
that has proved disastrous to both or
CARNATIONS. will be signed here.
In a way history is repeating itself,
for on September II, 1908, the ma
tional agreement which is the ruling
law in organized baseball was signed
in Cincinnati.
Like the agreement in 1908, the
controlling body of organized baseball
will concede, according to semiottfcial
adviceS. much to the newer league that
is destined to end it's existence, unless
all indications fail.
No official statement was issued at
the conclusion of the meeting of the
representatives of organized baseball
and the Federal League last night.
and. officially. it is only known that
the Chicago National League club will
be sold to Charles Weeghman, presi-
dent of the Chicago Federal League
club, and that the st. Louis Americans
will be purchased by Phil Ball, of
ST. Louis
However, semiofficially, it is known
that at present no other changes in
the control and management of the
other clubs of the National and Ameri-
can Leagues Will take place.
Rumors have had Harry Sinclair, of
the Federal League, purchasing an in
terest in the New York Giants. but
this has been emphatically denied.
Rumor likewise has said that a major
league club would be placed in Balti-
more but this, too, has been denied
for those who are in a position to
know.
other than the purchase of the Cubs
and the st. Louis Browns. it is semi
officially known that the Federal
League will respect and carry out all
of its existing contracts with the play
ers; that all contract jumpers" which
have not otherwise been provided for
will be declared free agents, and that
the Ward interests in the Federal
League will he reimbursed.
According to the men who are hold
ing the conference here, the only things
to be settled are minor details con-
cerniug the International League, and
1T was said to-day that the work of
Strengthening out these details would
only require a few hours.

gines had been stopped and when
passengers were still on board. This
admission alone is, in the view of the
government of the United States, suf-
ficient to fix upon the commander of
the submarine which fired the torpedo
the responsibility for having wilfully
violated the recognized law of nations
and entirely disregarded those humane
principles which every belligerent
should observe in the conduct of war
at sea. In view of these admitted cir
cumStances the government of the
United States feels justified in holding
that the details of the sinking of the
Ancona. the weight and character of
the additional testimony corroborating
the admiralty's report and the num-
ber of Americans killed or injured are
in no way essential matters of discus
sion. The culpabiltty of the COM
mander Is in any case established, and
the undisputed fact is that citizens of
the United States were killed, injured
or put in jeopardy by his lawless act.
The rules of international law and
the principles of humanity which were
thus wilfully violated by the COM
mander of the submarine have been so
long and so universally recognized and
are so manifest from the standpoint
of right and justice that the govern
ment of the United States does not feel
called upon to debate them and does
not understand that the imperial and
royal government questions or dis
putes them.
THE government of the United
States therefore finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial and
royal government responsible for the
act of its naval commander and to
renew the definite but respectful de-
mands made in its communication Of
the 9Th of December, 1915. 1t sin

Stamm Soon to Name
Special Committees
on New High School

The next step in the movement to
solve Harrisburg's High school prob
lem will be the appointment of the
three committees of the school board
which will handle the questions of
location, segregation of the sexes and
to devise ways and means for plac-
ing the subject before the people of
the city.
The appointment of these commit
tees was decided upon yesterday aft
ernoon following the informal con-
ference of the directors. Another
meeting will be held within a month
or so when reports will be made. EX-
pert advice will be obtained and in
addition to this advice each of the
three committees will be empowered
to seek the help of an additional COM
mittee of five citizens to sound the
public sentiment and suggest ideas for
the best possible solution of the
problem.
President A. Carson Stamm was
unable to attend the session yester-
day because of the death of a rela-
tive. He attended the funeral serv-
ices this morning and was therefore
unable to give the personnel of the
committees of directors very careful
consideration as yet. He expects to
announce the appointments in a few
days.

WhyRollisonW
to Sumatra
By GEORGE EDWIN HUNT
(Copyright, by J. B. Lippincott Coz

Rollison went to Sumatra because
Brownlee ate a club sandwich. That's
the fact of the matter. OF course there
were details surrounding the case
and those details are the story. Rol-
lison's apartments were the Mecca
toward which the faces of some half
dozen intimates were turned every
afternoon at five o'clock. His black
Pomeranian's joyful bark of welcome
was the muezZin call to high-balls,
music and conversation.
Rollison is dilettante in psychology.
He does not know it. but he is. That
is what led him to go as driver OF
circus band wagon for two months
one summer, travel emigrant from
Gibraltar to Calcutta on P. and o.
steamer, and perform other equally
foolish and interesting stunts. Rolli-
son denies a psychological facet to his
! character He calls it reversion of
type To an unknown hobo ancestor,
perhaps crusader. But, whatever the
incentive, the fact remains that Rolli-
son enjoys himself most when doing
something many consider outre.
But about that Sumatra trip. If
Brownlee had been man of fixed
| habits. Rollison would have been dis
| pensing hospitality at his apartments
to-day; but Brownlee is regular only
| in his irregularities. On the day the
thing started he ate club sandwich
at four o'clock in the afternoon, ant
in consequence was not ready fol
dinner at $50. He lounged into Roll
ison's rooms little after five, Will

dinner coat already donned, and made
no apology therefor Now, prownlee
is well-known to be full of guile and
versed in the gentle art of having his
own way He did not want to dine
until late, and he wanted Rollison to
dine with him The obvious thing to
do was to keep Rollison's mind free
from thought of food until he. Brown
lee. was ready for it. So to this end
he interpolated strong drink and dilute
conversation Rollison's man, Will
kins. served four highballs to each
before six o'clock. While wilkins
was investing Rolison with dinner
clothes, Brownlee preached a fishing
trip UP the Saguenay, and kept Rolf
sons mind off of food for three drinks
more. three drinks representing three
quarters of an hour. Then they went
to the club in Brownlee's runabout.
At the club Rolison suddenly
thought OF dinner and Insisted on
immediate food Brownlee told him
he had depraved appetite, and that
it was drink, not food. he craved So
they compromised the matter Brown
lees way. and had three-quarters OF
an hour of mint smashes, one to the
quarter. After the third Rollison's
mind again reverted to- dinner. He
strongly intimated he would have
food or blood. and If the matter was
delayed much longer it might be both.
Brownlee, by this time nothing loath,
consented, and they sent for the
steward The dinner ordered, by mu-
tual consent they whiled away the in
! terval with a couple of dry Martins
! and a Santa Cruz rum punch.

so soothing. a quart of Pink Top was

Brownlee wanted creme yvette witt

averted by the bland suggestion from
the head waiter that both cordial,
