ADMINISTRATION WANTS ANOTHER
 TITLE CREATED
Although Salary Is Now Paid For Job, Fire Board Asks
 Cellar Inspector"

Through it's president, John A. Leon ard, the board of fire commissioners last night asked the common council to create a new. office in the fire de- partnaent, an inspector of conbusti- bles, cellars, etc. The communication submitted says that the duties Of members of the department at pres ent are so arduous that time for prop CT inspection cannot be given to this work. No suggestion is made as to what the title of this official shall be what his salary shall be. Although there is no money to pay the salary of such an official if the common council should create the office, the board of apportionnent would have to find the money to pay the salary:
 During the regime of Chief Edward Mooney this was work the fire mar shal was supposed to do and under his management he did it, taking time every morning. for such inspections As fire fmarshaI he received $500 yearly salary. Chief Johnson is also fire mar shal or at least receives the salary President Leonard said last night that to make proper inspections would take the entire time of one man every day and the fire commissioners felt it would be a great aid in fire prevention if such an official inspector was ap7 pointed.

SELF-MADE MAN \ IS LORD MAYOR |OF LONDON TOW N

London, Oct 5.-Sir Charles Cheers Wakefield, Kit. who has been elected Lord Mayor of London and who will take oath of office on No vember 8, is the third native of Lan- cashire in succession to be Lord May or, and he will be succeeded next year by another Lancastrian in the person of Sir William Dunn. With rare ex- captions the post is never held but one year and there has been no exception for 30 years.
 Sir Charles is a self-made man, as the term is used in the United States, has built up a. large business in 1ubri- cants and is known to have consider ableN wealth. Indeed that is almost a necessary adjunct for although the salary of Lord Mayor is $50,O0o a year the term in the Mansion House calls for an outlay said to be much larger than that.
 He was 4born in Liverpool 52 years ago and his whole business life has been devoted to the oil business. His company has recently erectedN on Chea pside an imposing business build ingss Wakefield House, where his of flee is located. a block above St. Mary-le-Bow whose bells according to tradition were said to call Dick Whittington to be thrice Lord Mayor
 
 walk from the Mansion House and the Guildha1l, the centers of tile func- tions in which fthe Lord Mayor par ticipates and to and fro-rides in his celebrated coach which is still one of the sights of the city. a5
 His home is at Hythe in Kent where he has collected a notable gallery of famous paintings and prints, and where he spends all his leisure time with Lady Wakefield and his adopted daughter of sixteen He has made several trips to different parts of the United States and has trave1ed all over the world. He was chosen sheriff in 1907, an alderman in 1908, and is a devoted supporter of guildry which plays such an important part in. the civic life of the city. He is a member of no less than nine of the wealthy companies and on the court of four of them. His parent guild is the Haberdashers and he is the master of the Cordwainers, a company that never before gave a Lord Mayor to the city.

New York and some of the more important points on the route to New Orleans are as follows: Norfolk, Va, 244; Diamond Shoal Lightship, Golf Hatteras,) $50; Brunswick, Ga., 599; Jupiter Light, Fla, 902; American Shoa1 Light, Fla. 1,096.
 A speed of 35 knots would take a battle-cruiser from Ambrose Channel Light to Hamburg in approximately 4 days and hour and to Havre, France,
 in 8 days and Is hours, records which have been looked upon as some thing which might be accomplished some day in the dim future, but cer- tainly not in many years. The dis tances are, resp actively, 3,511 knots and 3,145 knots. The distance to Bremen from New York is 3,563 knots and to Liverpool 3.033, to Rotterdam, 3,327, and to Southampton, ,095.
 The United States battIeship speed record was made by the Wyoming on July 1s, 1912. when she attained a. O45 knots. The torpedo boat de- stroyer MeDougal broke all mile speed records for her type in standardization trials off Rock1and Me, in May, 1914. She went at the rate of 32. or knots on her fastest mile. The average of her five full speed runs was 31.516 knots. The listed speed sof the Reid, another destroyer, is 31.82 knots, and the Wordsworth, 30 knots. No other ships in the United States Navy aside from 8. few of the torpedo boats are accredited with a speed of 30 knots or more The sea going battleships are listed at IT to q knots, the ar mored cruisers at 22 knots; three third class cruisers, the Birmingh Salem and Chester, at 24, 25 and 26 knots, resp actively.

Births and Marriages Grow Less in Berlin
 As War Progresses

Berlin. Oct. 5.Both in; the number of births and the marriages in Berlin, the effect of the war is slowly but surely being indicated. The former, durings July Of this year, dropped off by 25 per cent, and the latter in Au- gust showed an even more marked de- crease.
 The. number of births in the entire city for July was but ?, 415. as against 3,224 in July, 1914. This falling off has gradually been increasing, as far as percentage is concerned. Though fig ures1 for August are not yet available it is believed that an even greater de- crease will be found
 The big, residential suburb of will mersdorf, one of the largest in Der lin, gives a line on the sever-decreasi marriages in the city. In all of Au- gust, 1915, only 62 weddings took place In Wilmersdorf. as against 264 one year ago. Many of the latter, it is true, were so-cal1ed 'twar weddings',- marriages performed ahead of sehed- ule time in order that the men could go to War-but in 1913, a normal year, 78 weddings took place.

France Spends Three Billion Francs For
 Cannon and Shells

Paris, Oct. 5.-France's growing eff fort to accumulate artillery and am intuition is shown in an analysis of war expenditures.

 The expenditure for artillery and ammunition Rfe exceeded only by the item of food and forage which amount ed to four billions, 250 million francs. Next in order comes the clothing and quartering Of the troops, about two billions, % millions and the pay of the troops, about two billions.
 6sVehic1es, including automobiles, were bought to the amount of 223 million francs and 9 billion and a half was paid for horses and mules
 The sanitary department has cost 647 millions to date, an average of 3S millions a month during 1914 and 53 millions a month in 1915.
 The total expenditure for distinctly military operations from July 31st. 1914, to Sept. 530th, 1915, is about Is billion francs, making up 7s per cent. of the budget during that period.
 A billion and a half has been spent for the relief of soldiers families and workers thrown out of employment while 1s0 millions have been spent for the feeding and sheltering of refu- gees.
 The subscriptions to the National Defence bonds and obligations have furnished 66 per cent. of the funds for the total expenditures of 22 billions durig the IA months ending September 30th, the estab1ished taxes have pro dueed 16 per cent. and the rem aiming IS per cent. has been advanced by the Bank of France.

WOOD PULP USED
 BY GERMANS FOR
 HIGH EXPLOSIVES

London, Oct 5-The question whether the Germans are finding wood pulp an efficient substitute for cotton in the manufacture of high explosives has been fnvesti gated by the Paper Maker" which has con- suited several experts.
 Sir William Ramsay says: tI quite agree that it is highly probable that the Germans are making nitro-l o-lignose from wood fibre. This is the tragedy of our always being too late. quite agree that we should declare wood
 pulp contraband but I hesitate to start another campaign; it takes so much time and energy.
 ftThe Germans have plenty of wood i; their country is largely afforested- As to the relative efficacy of wood pulp and cotton I am not expert enough to answer that. All can say is that am told by French experts that the ballistic power of nftro-li gnose is not
 equal to that of gun-cotton. But Krupp is turning out any number of guns of all sorts, and doubtless they are standardized, as regards sights and chambers, for nttro-l -lignose.''
 Another expert, Walter F. Reid, sees no value in declaring wood pulp large areas. of forest containing suit able woods that the present rate of consumption of explosives could be
 maintained for years without impor- i tation of wood pulp" He adds that one of the most popular snokeIess powders has been made of wood pulp
 for more than 30 years.
 1 Clayton Beadle, third expert. holds rather different view saying l the German pulp mills could not pro-
 duce a product that would reach the
 requirements of explosives for long,
 adding s'to suddenly drop cotton and I switch to something new, must spell disaster or at any rate, it would be I a most serious handicap, and it has not yet been proved that it can be done"

p, GOO French Soldiers
 In zuydcoote Hospital

zuydcoote, France, Sept. 5-In this coast town there is one of the largest
 military hospitals in France Founded in 1908 as 9 hospital for deformed and tubercu1ous children, it has one fea- ture betokening the foresight of, it's Founders. Although intended solely for children, all the beds, baths and oper- afi1ag fables were constructed full length tin case there should be a war. ; Now every one of the nearly 2Ooo beds contains a, wounded French soldier This hospital, by the way, bears on it's front walls the marks of a bomb dropped by Taube The bricks were cracked and the glass in several win dows broken, a bomb having fallen about ten feet in front of the struc- ture. There is no other building with in a quarter of mile

COULD GROSS ATLANTIC
 IN 3 DAYS AND 8 HOURS

A battle cruiser-such as proposed in our new naval program -r1oughtng her way through the waters at thirty five knots an hour,-ff it were possible to keep up that speed. would make the passage from the Ambrose Chan mel Lightship to Queenstown, the course over which the steanlsF1ip D Mauretania made her record of 4 days 10 hours, and Al minutes. in approm- mately days and hours. The dis tance between these ponts is estimat- ed at ASIA knots, or nautical miles The fastest days run by the Mature =tania, was at the rate of 27. 041 knots
 This comparison was pointed out last night to illustrate the value of the navy of a great battle cruiser which could be shifted from point to point, either along the coast or in transat- lantic travel, at such a, pace. There is no record of ship which could hope to accomplish such a record run or cope with such foe.
 !. At 35 knots hour a battle cruiser could be transferred from the Battery to New Orleans on coast patrol duty a distance of approximately 1,700 knots, in 48 hours and 35 minutes, a feat which has never been accom- pIished or thought possible. certainly not for an armored battle cruiser car rying huge 14-inch guns. To make the run in somewhat under five days is considered good time by most of tn he coastwise passenger ships.
 Charleston, s. C.. is 491 knots from New York. The battle cruiser could be sent there in 14 hours if the speed were at 35 knots An hour and twenty minutes later she would be off Savannah, Ga The total run from New York to Jacksonville, Fla, a dis lance of 653 knots would require just under IS hourf;e and 0 minutes, less than 10 hours would see the cruiser off Miami, Fla

HOUSES WILL BE
BUILT AT PAXTANG
Contractors Announce That at
Least Is Houses Will Be Built
During Coming Year

Paxtang, Pa, Oct. 30.-Within the
coming year at least 15 houses, hav-
ing a selling value of approximately
100000 will be erected In Paxtang
-Four of them are at present in the
course of construction and the others
will be built during the early Spring
and summer of 1916.
According to T. e. Stephenson. of
Penbrook, he and his partner, G. c..
Crawford, of West F'airview. will con-
struct houses, single and in pairs,
along a 490-foot plot on the west side
of Kelso street. At present. cellars
are being constructed for a pair of
houses on that thoroughfare. Two
other homes are also being built in
Melrose street at the western end of
the borough.
Mr.. Stephenson stated this morning
that houses in Kelso street will be
built two at time and as soon as
two are completed work on another
pair will be started.
With this number of new homes in
sight, a prediction is made that Pax
tang will see a big building boom
within the next year. Other builders
who have been quite active in the

FREIGHT TRAFFIC
RUSH ON READING
Harrisburg Division Is Taking
Care of Large Shipments; No
Sunday Shutdown

Freight. traffic on the Philadelphia
and Reading railway is keeping every
crew busy. There will be no let-up
over Sunday. The only time at home
is what is required by law. Frequently
business has been so heavy between
Harrisburg and Reading that crews
from Reading have been pressed into
service on the Harrisburg division.
From Pittsburgh the rush of btu
minous coal has been above previous
records. Merchandise freight is also
a big factor in the present rush. An
average of 5000 cars of freight are
being handled daily between Hagers-
town and Reading, which means con-
siderable activity in the classification
yards at Rutherford.
On the Reading division $4,000 cars
were handled in six days. This aver
age has been recorded for a month.
1t is said that from 1900 to 1906
cars of anthracite coal are shipped
daily. While a large part of this busi-
ness goes to tidewater, considerable
hard coal is being shipped to western
and southern points.
