Then the editor would suddenly find
that his immediate presence was
needed at a distant point-and he
would proceed to put space between
himself and his home as fast as team
and wheels could carry him. This
might be absolutely necessary or
highly advisable, merely. There
would be a hurried rush for the office
next day by subscribers who wanted

~sistant in order to arrange properly
the subscription list-that is, if any
subscription list were left. There
would be various and sundry calls for
the editor by parties desiring swift
and lucid explanations. In fact,
there would be the deuce to pay all
around.
Few people are able to recognize
the paramount Importance of even so
apparently unimportant an adjunct to
a newspaper office as a waste basket.
1t frequently saves the paper as well
as the editor from much humiliation,
and possibly humiliation.
No well-regulated newspaper office
could get along without an active and
well equipped waste basket. 1t is a
most excellent balance wheel, so to
speak, between the public and the
newspaper and saves many a situa-
ton that might be fraught with en-
barrassment, and even serious conse-
quences, if it were not for its willing
service.

The first list available of the pas
sengers ON the Italian steamship An
cona, sunk by an Austrian submarine
in the Mediterranean sea, off the Rfr1-
can coast, neal Bizerta, contains the
names of twenty-seven Americans, ac-
cording to a despatch to the London
Exchange Telegraph company from
Rome.
One American woman is among the
survivors, it is stated. 1t is believed
nearly 300 persons went down with
the vessel.
Only meagre particulars of the dis
aster have yet reached the public,
owing to the strictness of Italian con-
sorship, but a despatch from Bizerta
to Lloyds says that 300 persons were
drowned. Most of the lost, the mes
sage says, were women and children
emigrants. One hundred and thirty
survivors have thus far reached BIZ

the women were injured.
In addition to %ffty-one members of
the crew and four passengers of the
Ancona, picked up at sea, have been
landed at Malta.
There is a discrepancy as to the
number of persons saved. Earlier ad.
vices had given 270 as the number.
The total number of persons on
board the Ancona is said to have
been 642. If 270 survivors are, In

Is believed that the Ancona sustain
ed a vigorous she'll fire from the sub
marine that attacked her and that
several persons were killed and in
iured in this way before the vessel
went down. A despatch from the
Stefani News agency of Rome, says
that 100 shells were fired into the
Ancona before she was t%orpedoed.
Berlin has evidently received par
~ticulars of the battle, for a despatch
from that city says: Information
from a reliable source is that the
steamship Ancona was sunk by an
Austro-Hungarian submarine" the
Overseas News agency reports. "She
attempted to escape, and thus compel

The assertion is made by survivors
of the Ancona, according to reports,
which reached Rome, that the subma-
rine which sank the steamship was
German, although flying the Austrian
colors. This has not been confirmed
officially.
A despatch from Naples says that
the frst-class passengers on board the
Ancona include Mrs. Prof. Cecile L.
Greil, of New York, and the third
class, Alessandro Potatiye, of New
York, and wife and four children, and
Mrs. Francesca Mascole Lamura, all
American citizens.
Prince Cassano Zunica was also
aboard the Ancona.

Forty-eight dreadnoughts, one bear

by Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
before the seventeenth annual conven-

I'VE want a navy, perhaps second
to that of England" he said, "but I
myself favor having the greatest navy
in the world. We ought to begin by
having a dreadnought for each of the
forty-eight states of the Union.
at is the duty of congress to pro-

Senator Penrose said he would op-

plant at South Bethlehem. Only
the skeleton of the big building is
standing. Machinery and war ma
terial in the building were valued at
$4,000 to $4,000, 000.
The company issued a statement
saying the blaze was due to a cross
ed circuit wire which ignited oil in
the boring mill, on the first floor. No
statement of damage has been issued
by the The destroyed
building was recently rebuilt.
The fire spread rapidly and the
building was soon wrapped in flames.
The fire department of the steel
works was called out, as were the de-
partments of four neighboring
borough, but their efforts were main
ly expended with a view to saving
adjoining buildings.
In machine shop No. 4 were manu-
featured guns of various calibre. In
the building when the fire started
were 500 guns, about $50 of them
ready to ship. Some of these cannon
were for England and her allies,
others for this government.
The value of these guns alone is
said to have been several million dol
lars. There were about 1000 machines
of different kinds in the building
lathes, shapers, drills and boring ma
chimes. These machines were valued
from $500 up to several thousand dol
lars each.
The building was about $50 feet
wide and 700 feet long, and four
stories high. On these four floors
were employed 2050 men on both day
and night shifts. About 500 men were
working when the fire broke out, and
so rapidly did it spread that some
employees had to make their escape
by means of ropes from the differ
ent windows.
From workmen it has been learned
that the fire started among oil near
the entrance to the plant. This oil

which workmen foolishly attempted
to put out by throwing OF water.
There followed a mighty flash and
flames leaped as high as the building,
enveloping completely the whole of
the structure.
General alarms were sounded, not
only in the steel works, but through
out the neighboring boroughs of
South Bethlehem, Bethlehem, Foun-
tain Hill and Northampton Heights.
In a short time East Third street was
crowded with fire engines, which
pumped millions of gallons of water
through two score lines of hose.
The fire, starting on the south por-
ton, soon ate it's way through the
building to the north side. Floor
after floor, each loaded down with
valuable machinery, collapsed and
fell to the first floor, where it lay in
a jumbled mass.
Many of the 1000 employees lost all
their tools, several having as much
as $100 worth. All the men will be
given employment elsewhere in the
plant.
