Central High School For
West Shore Seems Assured

Wormleysburg, Pa, July 21.-Camp
Hill. Wormleysburg and Lemoyne are
now pledged to support the new CEN
trail high school planned for the West
Shore and it is practically certain that
West Fairview will authorize the rails
ing of loan for the same purpose.
This practically assures the success
of the central high school project If
no other towns or townships come in,
those named can carry the project
through, and then if the others want
to come in they will have to pay tuition
for the pupils as the law provides.
There is much rejoicing in the towns
named, for the erection of a central
high school means rapid growth for
those interested. due to the attraction
TO prospective residents of proper school
facilities. With the money already in
sight II will be possible to give those
towns interested high school equal in
efficiency to those of Harrisburg.

Reply Will Soon Be Sent

State Department to-day received
from Austria through Am
bassador Penfield at Vienna, a re-
quest for additional details regarding
the attack by an Austrian submarine

Petrolite. Mr.. Penfields dispatch
gave no indication as to whether the
Vienna government intended to com
ply with the American demands for
an apology, punishment of the sub
marine commander and reparation for
the damage done by the submarines

Officials of the department declined
to divulge the nature of the informa-
ton sought on the ground that
negotiations at this time were conf
Dental. A reply will go forward
shortly.
The Austrian claim has been that
the submarine commander fred on
the Petrolite by mistake and that later
the master of the tanker voluntarily
furnished the submarine with provi-
sions The Petrolite's captain swears
however, that he was shelled without
provocation and compelled over
vigorous protest to surrender a part
of supplies which were sufficient only

Ask School Board
For Use of Rely Street
Plot For Playground

Formal request of the school author
tiles for the temporary use of the va
cant plot on Third street between Reilly
and Harris street as a city playground
was made this afternoon by Park
Commissioner z. Z. Gross at the meet
ing of the building committee of the
school board. The request, it is un-
derstood, will be recommended to the
directorate for approval.
The plot is desirable according to
Commissioner Gross because it is adj
visable TO do away with the Fourth
street grounds This recreational
space is not only too small for the
growing crowd of youngsters who use
II daily but the noise of the children's S
play has been more or less annoying
to the railroad men who live in the
vicinity and who are compelled to sleep
during the day.
Furthermore the proximity of the
Reilly school building places the school
house conveniences within easy reach
of the youngsters.
