"West Harrisburg"

L. NJ. Bricker, a well-llnown baker
and prominent businessman of Lee
moyne, favors a united effort along the
West Shore to bring about improve
ments and the possible annexation of
the West Shore territory to Harris
burg. Mr.. Bricker declares he is for
Improvement all the time and sees
many possibilities in the formation of
league or association in each town.
IF we had an association in Lemoyne," I"
he said, I'VE could endeavor to bring
industries here and give employment
to the persons residing in the town,
besides attracting other people here.
l would like to see an organization
here which at some time would have
enough money in it's treasury to erect
factory building and then endeavor
to bring company here to occupy it.
In the course of a short time the COM
pany could buy the building and then
that money could be used to erect an
other structure. In that way we could
get some industries here which would
be of big benefit to Lemoyne." Mr..
Bricker believes also that If an organ
iZation is effected many public i'm
provements will result. He also talked
of the possibility of the West Shore
being annexed to Harrisburg and sug-
gested that . proper name for the ter
ritory would be West Harrisburg in
stead of West Shore. Mr.. Bricker is
opposed to the toll bridges and says
that if they could be abolished by
some concerted action the West Shore
would develop more rapidly. IF we
could be annexed to Harrisburg, then
the toll bridges would be thing of
the past, because we wouldn't have to
pay to get from one part OF the town
to another"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 24.-A
searching inquiry into the sinking of
the japanese liner Yasaka Maru by a
submarine in the eastern Mediterran-
can, will be made by the state depart
mnt, it is announced in official circles
here. The probe will be conducted
through American consular agents,
aided by every agency of the United
States government throughout Europe,
and will develop every detail of the
attack on the liner, though no Ameri-
can lives were sacrificed as result Of
the occurrence
Further diplomatic correspondence
between the Washington government
and the Austria Hungarian foreign Of

at thority, should official reports con-
firm the statement made in press dis
patches that the Yasaka Maru was sent
to the bottom without sufficient warn
ing to permit all passengers to dis
embark without personal danger re-
gardless of their nationality.
No official information concerning
the loss of the Yasaka Maru had been
received at the state department early
this afternoon, but it was stated there
that the press dispatches were con
sidered sufficiently reliable to warrant
the immediate Inauguration of a rigid
investigation into the whole affair. II
such an investigation should develop
that the attacking submarine flew the
Austrian flag, and other information
conveyed here in the press dispatches
he fully corroborated in all details, it
i3 quite probable the United States
will at once take up with Austria
Hungary the entire question of torpe-
doing ships without warning, and that
this correspondence may be inaugural
ed by the presentation at Vienna of
formal demand that assurances be CIV
ell that such practices will be diseon-
Linued Immediately.

AN APPEAL

9 Santa Claus, dear Santa Claus,
wonder if you know
How many poor folks stockings hang
all in gaping row;
How anxiousy you're waited for
By many girl and boy
AS you dash by with jngling bells,
And never leave a toy.
When from its merry midnight round
sleigh comes dashing back
And all the toys given out
From every Christmas pack,
Could you not bring last years
drums
Or skates or balls, sleds,
Or dolls who have lost their hair,
Or cracked their arm or heads?
o, Santa Claus, dear Santa Claus,
don't believe you know
How many poor folks stockings hang
All in a gaping row.
How anxiousy you're waited for,
Or you would ride this way
And the empty stocking full
On every Christmas day
