Official notice of this action mas

RELIEF STEAMER
SUNK IN NORTH SEA
tsY MORNING JousHsL SPECIAL LEASED wlsti
Rotterdam. Aprl 10 (Via London

Rotterdam. April ~ IVA Iohuoh'
April II, i:i5 "a. m.)-The British
steamer Harpalyce, the first rellei
boat of New York state and under
charter to the commission for reliet
in Belgium, has either been torpedoed
or sunk by a mine in the North sea.
The Dutch steamer Elizabeth, on
its voyage, from Rotterdam for New
York. picked up twenty-five of the
crew of the Harpalyce seven miles
northeast of Noordhinder lightship
and brought them back TO Rotter-
dam. The Dutch steamer Constance
Catherine, picked up five men anu
took them to Nieuwe Waterweg. The
steamer carried a crew of tifty-three
men, twenty-six Of whom, 1t is fear
ed. have been drowned.
Those rescued by the Elizabeth IN
cluded the second mate and the sec
ond engineer, the latter in a wound
ed condition
The Harpalyce, under its charter to
the Belgian relief commission, had a
permit securing immunity from at
tack.
The Harpalyce, which was of 1861
tons, was a comparatively new steam
er owned by j. and c. Harrison OF
London. She sailed from New YORK
on March with more than 900 m
dividua gifts for the relief Of the Bel
gians and arrived at Rotterdam on
March so. 1t is presumed that the
|rIarpalyce's cargo had been unloaded
and that she was on her return voy-
age.
She was commanded by Capt.
Frank Wamn, who prior to ms De
parture from New York, declared that
he was not worried about mines or
submarines.

A Scholar and an Athlete

ITO THOSE grouchy persons who think that
i scholarship and athletics cannot thrive in
the same body we commend Norman Taber.
Here is youth who was Phi Beta Kappa
man Mt Brown University, is now Rhodes
scholar at oxford, and last week crowned
these achievements by running the fastest
mile on record by professional or amateur.
Not only did he lower the previous worlds
amateur record of minutes IA 2-5 seconds,
made by John Paul Jones, of Cornell, also
scholar and an athlete, but he lowered by
three-twentieths of a second the worlds pro-
fessional record of minutes 12N seconds
made 20 years ago in London by w. G.
George.
Overindulgence in athletics at the expense
of scholarship is becoming more and more
myth in the college world. 1t is an abuse
which may ne controlled by the proper sort
of faculty supervision. Indeed, it is a ques-
tion If our faculties are not little unfair
to the athletes, because in most universities
the athlete must carry fewer conditions than
the nonathletic student.
Young men like Taber are credit to this
nation, whether as scholars or as athletes.

GERMANY BUILDING BATTLEsHIPs

From the Liverpool Journal OF Commerce.
, The fighting strength of the German navy at
the present time can only be a matter Of con.
lecture, while it's power of expansion has been
the subject of considerable speculation.
To her battle squadrons the enemy will un-
doubtedly have added the KronprinZ, which was
laid down at Kiel in the middle of 1912, while
the battle cruisers Luitzow, launched at Dantzic
near the end of 1918, and the Ersatz Hertha,
laid down in the same year, will certainly have
Joined the waiting battle cruiser squadron by
this time.
The best known of the new ships under con-.
struction are the Ersatz Worth and the TT"
both commenced early In 1914. These vessels are
approximately of 5000 tons displacement and
mount eight 15-inch guns. Compared with the
Queen Elizabeth class they carry the same ar
mament much more efficiently protected, but at
an inferior speed.
The German fleet is most likely to fight when
the land campaigns have gone so badly for her
that master stroke is necessary in order 70
retrieve the situation. When that state OF af
fairs will arrive is, at the moment. beyond NOR
tai knowledge Many critics still anticipate
that another winter campaign will not be neces-
sary, but this view appears to err on the op-
tmstc side and IL we neglect 1t and assume
that Is months of is practical possibility,
then the German navy is likely to prove
much more powerful, argument than 1t Is at
present.
Early in the war the superior value Of the
battle cruiser was emphatically demonstrated,
and If the big ship facilities of the German
yards concentrated on rushing out this
class of ship the squadron would be immediate
ly strengthened. Firms such as the Germana
at Kiel, Blohm and Voss and the Vulcan Com
pany at Hamburg, and the Schichau yard az
Dahtzic, could probably between them complete
seven or eight battle cruisers by the end OF
next spring. when the Germans would have
available something like 20 dreadnoughts and 10
battle cruisers.
The above figures can only, of course, be
quite general but they to indicate that
II the final battle be postponed till next year
the tussle is likely to assume proportions hither-
to undreamed of, and far beyond the general
Imagination.

Rack up the Chnmber of commerce

IF PHILADELPHIAS Councimen are as
i progressive and as anxious to advance
the prosperity and good name Of this city as
the Chamber of Commerce, an adequate con-
vention hall, centrally located will soon be-
gin to take shape for the prospective Repub-
lican National Convention next year. Chair
man Hilles has told Secretary Kelly that
many of the national Republican leaders
favor the selection of this city. The Cham
ber of Commerce has the thanks of every
loyal Philadelphian for the initiative 1t has
shown in going after the convention, for the
way 1t has put the issue up to Councils and
for the publicity campaign 1t is preparing to
undertake to make Councils show its colors
Every business man and every voter, too,
should back up the appeal the Chamber of
Commerce is preparing to send out to mem
bers of Councils. demanding that this body
take action at its first meeting in September.
Philadelphia is now an active candidate for
the convention. With an adequate conven-
tion hall we would have a handicap on every
other city in the country Today Philadelphia
IS forging to the front rank among nationally
advertised cities. But we don't want the
sort OF advertising that would follow
rejection by the National Committee because
Councils won't provide the convention hall.

Human; All Too Human

DEFORE things began 10 hum. women and
I'D war were supposed by a good many anti
miltarists to partake Of an inherent, divine
and salubrious antithesis. They were the
corrective to mans pugnacious predictions.
IL women had the say!
And now $4,000 women have braved a rainy
day to parade London begging for employ
ment IN the munitions factories.
There are quite few things, OF course,
which tend to duh the point OF this contrast.
Thirty thousand women are not. after all,
majority; the women who mourn. mourn at
home. Further. the $4,000 were led by women
like Mrs. Pankhurst, who constantly seek
wider action for the female OF the species.
and who in the present case are supporting
war because they hope thereby to end it.
At bottom the whole thing is no more than
another argument against generalization.
Women are just about as human. just about
as heroic and just about as patheticany ro-
mantio as men, Once war Is loose they can
be counted on for patriotism. But before.
perhaps for a little more sanity where hui
man life Is concerned.

The Gaday at Work

TN ALL this uncertain war there seems TO
i be nothing SO fortutous as the relations
OF America and Germany. Between the DIM
culties of communication, the varying and
alien tempers of the two countries and the
speeches of Mr. Bryan to hyphenated audi
ences and to Mr.. Dumba, the natural antag-
onism of interests set UP by the favorable
situation on the Allies on the high seas has
been famed hither and thither, now hot now
cold in a way that makes for no sort of
mutual understanding. Sunday brought the
newest complication of the sort.
Secretary Lansing's account of communi-
cation to Great Britain, demanding the ap-
plication of the rules Of international law
to American cargoes now in prize court, would
undoubtedly have done much toward better
understanding between Germany and Amer
lea, especially as it came on top of promises
from the German Admiralty of more respect
for life at sea and on top of well-meant at
tempts by Ambassador Bernstorff to read
more pacific and concillatory meaning into
the last German Note.
But these moves toward a mutual under
standing were very successfully overshad-
owed by the news of the attack on the Or
duna. The attempt to torpedo without warn
ing and the actual shelling of passenger
chip an America bound ship, a ship carry
ing neither ammunition nor contraband in
any form naturally aroused new indigna-
tlon. The most unfortunate part of the
whole affair, however, was that paper after
paper treated this attack as a direct refu-
tation of Germanys conciliatory attitude
during the last week, as new defiance, as
something that threw all chance Of harmony
TO the winds. That is the impression Ameri-
can readers undoubtedly carried away.

Our Part in the War

TET NOT Americans worry over the place
II the United States will hold in history for
the part it has played in this world war.
While we are trying to maintain strict neu-
trality and to keep out Of "entangling alli-
ances" our sympathy for suffering and our
efforts to relieve it have been world wide. On
top of the achievement Of feeding starving
Belgium our country has rendered the most
conspicuous service in checking the ravages
OF typhus fever in Serbia Distinguished
Europeans have paid tribute to the timely
and effective steps America took when war
ridden Serbia was dying with 100000 typhus
cases. aid which Sir Thomas Upton said
has made America beloved by all serbians,
from the King to the lowest peasant" Feed
ing the starving and healing the sick is GER
tainly a nobler thing than helping to spread
the ravages of war.

Helping the Harmony

TIE MIGHT have picked out kinder time
i j TO break the news. THE Hon. Wiillam
s. Vare Congressman from the LIST Distrlct
of Pennsylvania, whose bailiwick Is virtually
South Philadelphia" shouldn't have let the
cat out OF Mr.. Lemons bag until Jim NC
Nichol had enjoyed a little of his prospective
vacation at the Cleveland trotting races. The
Senator might have had to stay over and
rehearse his Harmony Quartet again
II Is hard to say what elements Of Phila-
deIphia read Mr.. Lemons editorial with the
most interest. Those of a literary, even ora
toricaI, turn Of mind searched It with Won
dering eyes Early business opponents Oh
Congressman Ware must have found par
ticular fascination in the sentence: Be
fore his entrance into politics he had exhib-
tied n capacity for the details of business
which is to this day treasured recollection
of those with whom he dealt"
But of all that scholarly plea for section
alism in city politics, no portion can have
attracted the interest of the best and the
worst elements of Philadelphia so sharply as
the following:
Looked at from whatever angle chosen. he
is the so-called logical candidate. the type
of man needed to handle the tremendous
municipal problems which await solution
Estimating the thoughts of such one as
Jim MCN1ChOl is no VI SaiupiiouS
matter; but it is safe to say that the con-
tractor-Senator thinks those tremendous

ably handled by somebody nearer home than
Washington and South Philadelphia. Nor
does that faculty of quickly seizng Details

to the South Philadelphia Congressman. That
is the time when the gang is after "har-
