Y Yesterday evening was clear, and the
period between 8 and 8 o'clock is the
twilight hour in the British Islands at

A message to Lloyds says that an
armed trawler went to the assistance
of the Nebraskan and stood by her all
night.
The German submarine campaign is
continuing actively. Dispatches from
Norway say the people of that country
have been aroused by the sinking last
week of the Norwegian steamer Mi
nerva and the attempt to torpedo the
Iris, which went to her assistance. The
steamer Cromer loaded with passen-
gers had a narrow escape from being
torpedoed while bound for Rotterdam
yesterday. A submarine fired a tor
pedo without warning. 1t missed the
ship by only fifteen yards.
According to the captains story to
Rotterdam correspondents the peri
scope was seen 500 yards distant and

was moving so rapidly that nothing
could be done to avoid 1t. The attack

on the Lusitania disaster, the news
that another American ship had been
endangered aroused more than ordi-
nary attention. but all officials were
disposed to hear details before making
comment.
Some officials could not understand
why a ship bound for the United
States, in ballast and, therefore, car
rying no contra band, should have
been endangered by q torpedo and
they considered II among the pOssi-
bilities that the Nebraskan had struck
a drifting mine.

Suffragists Provide
Lunch For Thousands
of Good Roads Workers

Suffrag gists all over the State were
up bright and early this morning put
ting the finishing touches on the
good roads workers. Sandwiches were
wrapped in damp napkins and lemon
ade and iced tea and coffee were put
in the ice boxes so as to have them
just right for the men at noon.
The offer of the women to provide
lunches and refreshments has delight
ed the men. 1t has relieved the road
officials of the work of providing for
the lunches and 1t has tickled the men
to know that they are to have plenty
OF homemade good things as a reward
for their labors.
1t was a mighty big job that the
women undertook, but their en-
thusiasm and their ability to handle
big problems by cooperation and or
ganization is shown by the fact that
in Allegheny county they have pre-
pared freshments for Is. 900 men. This
army of road workers will need whole
sale quantities of refreshments. j.
Denny O'Neil. chairman of the Good
Roads Association of Allegheny Coun-
ty, had expected to have to detail a
number of his workers to take care of
the food supply. but when the Equal
Franchise League, through Mrs. ]. o.
Miller. its president, offered to handle
the matter he gladly turned 1t over to
them. AS a reward for his confidence
the suffragists decided to supply hot
waffies as a dessert.
The story is the same in every coun-
ty. In Franklin the suffragists will
provide 400 lunches; Waynesboro
women will provide 200; in Washing
ton county. 500; Franklin county, 400;
Lackawanna county, 1000. Where
there are a great number of men to
take care of automobile trucks will be
used to carry the provisions. In the
smaller places lighter autos and
wagons will be used.
The local suffrage chairmen have
promised State headquarters that the

Ballard and assured him the pheasant
shoot would be detrimental to the en-

Mr.. Ballard has spent much money in
rearing these birds but we think it
would be far more commendsble in him
TO send them out and help propagate
the state with them than TO ape the
British. Americans who are accustom-
