official statement from the German
embassy.
I'm consequence of cases which
have occurred of late the German
ambassador has sent instructions to
all German consuls in the United
States TO strongly impress upon Ger
man citizens living in their districts
that it is their duty scrupulously 10
obey the laws of the State in which
they reside"
To Prevent Plots
1t was said at the German embassy
that the instructions were designed to
prevent plots or lawlessness on the
part of the German citizens who
might be disposed to engage in such.
The German government, it was said,
looks with great disfavor upon such
conduct and desires that they shall
not engage in any undertaking in any
way outside the law.
1t was not disclosed whether specific
cases have been brought to the atten-
ton of the German government but it
was made clear that Berlin officials
want the United States and its people
to understand that they have not
countenanced any illegal affairs with
which German citizens or sympath-
izers in this country have been con-
nected.
Count Won Bernstorff's instructions
were received last night and were for
warded to German consuls i'm

Question as to the legality and
amount of the proposed bond issue of

by Steelton voters Tuesday was settled
by Borough Secretary Charles P.
Feidt this morning.
When it was first suggested by E.
c. Henderson, chairman of the High
way committee of council that a bond
issue be submitted to the voters, it
was estimated by the Highway COM
mittee that $4,000 would be needed
and council instructed the finance and
town property committees to have an
ordinance drawn submitting the ques-
tion to the voters.
This ordinance was drawn for only
$4,000, there now being an uneX-
pended balance of about $1,000 from
the last paving loan, which the finance
committee figured would make avail
able sufficient funds. The ordinance
was passed and advertised properly

KEEP
UP STEEL PRICES
Steel Corporation Books Or
ders For $4,000 Tons of
Plates For Vessels

The Iron Age in its weekly review of
the steel trades to-day says:
Some increase in the amount of
semifinished steel available for early
delivery in the Pittsburgh district is
the latest indication of lessening strain
in the steel trade. AS additional new
capacity is finished in the next four or
five months less is likely to be heard
of steel shortage.
The enormous demands of ship
yards as a factor in sustaining plate
prices regardless of the war are get
ting more attention. The Steel Cor
poration's latest bookings include 50,-
600 tons of plates and shapes for yes
sci work, delivery in the second half of
1917, and one large plate producer has
contracted with shipbuilders to supply
half its entire output in the same per-
iod.
"A total Of $4,000 tons of new sub
way and elevated work is soon to be
placed in New York and bridges still
figure prominently in Eastern lettings.
In the West, however. there is more
evidence that high prices are cutting
down fabricating operations. In April
the new work let amounted to 1875 per
cent. of full capacity, which is rated
at $4,000 tons a month. In March
