SUBQUESTION

Relegates Mexican Situation Into
Background.
(By United Press Association.)

Washington, D. c., March 25.-The
submarine issues with all it's gravity
possibilities confronting the American
government today relegated the Mexi-
can situation for a moment to place
of minor importance.
The torpedoing Of the Sussex and
Englishman reported following SINH
lar attacks on the Pallanay and Tu-
bantia lead Washington officials to be-
heve the Central powers have again
positively set out on sub-sea warfare
against merchant ships similar to that
of a year ago which brought the A
merican government close to a break
with those powers.
The belief which has been gaining
ground for several days has been ac-
centuated by the recent sinkings.
The sinking of the horse carrying
ship Englishman with loss Of four A
merican lives state officials said ap-
peared the most serious today. There
was deep anxiety in the department
of state.

Help Your Fav0rite Win the First Ballot Which
Will blean the Winning OF First Prize of
$4,000

Candidates, what are you going to
do by April 1st? Are you going to
win the 100000 ballot that will be
given to the baby having the largest
amount of money on subscriptions
from the time they entered and up to
nine o'clock next Saturday night A
pril LIST.
Only one baby can win the first bal
lot and only one baby can win the first
prize Of $4,000. If you do your very
best to win the first ballot and should
miss it by only small margin, you
will then stand a mighty good show
for the second prize. But if you are
satisfied to just drift along and pick
up a subscription when you happen to
stumble on one, your chances will be
small towards winning in the Show
ar of Gold for Babies on the last night
of the contest. Work hard and in a
systematic way. Make a list of the
people that you want to see each day
and try to see them.

MANNHEIMERA
FINE PIANIST

The recital given at the home of
Mrs. L. E. Nash Wednesday evening
was greatly appreciated. Nine. Jessie
DeVore, violinist and Frank Mann
heimer, pianist were the artists who
gave the recital.
The playing of Nine. DeVore was
very good, but the palm of the even
ing's entertainment was carried off
by Mr.. Mannneimer, the pianist who
possesses delicate, yet firm touch
good sense of musical values and
faultless technique. His work as an
accompanist was a model Of taste and
efficiency.
Probably one of the most enjoyed
numbers by Mr.. Mannheimer was
Chopin's Nocturne in G Major. This
selection is rather we'll known by mu-
sicians of any degree whatever and
was especially pleasing.

LOCAL CONCERN
MAKES RECORD
IN SHIPPING
Big Refrigerating Machine Shipped
Out Four Days After Receiving Or
der. is Eighth Order From Same
Concern in Eight Months.

One of the quickest deliveries of big
machinery that has ever taken place
in this city was made today when the
American Carbonic Machinery Com
pany shipped ten ton refrigerating
machine by express to the Linder Air
Products Company of Brooklyn, N. Y.
A telegram was received Tuesday
ordering this machine shipped. To-
day the big machine which weighs
II 800 pounds and has a capacity of
10 tons of ice in "a hours, was shipped
in a special express car over the C.
NJ. & St. P. Railway. The Wells-Far-
go company through their agent w.
S. Fishbach secured special Erie ex-
press car. The car is big one being
70 feet long. The big ice machine will
leave here tonight at Gal over the
Milwaukee road for Chicago where it
will be transferred to the Erie lines
and will reach its destination in Brook
lyn in 80 hours.
The best part of this is yet to come.
The filling of this order marks the
eighth consecutive order that has been
received from this one concern since
last July. This means that the ma
chine manufactured by the American
Carbonic Machinery company of
Grand Rapids, WISCONSIN, is prov
ing absolutely satisfactory. Eight or
ders for big refrigeration machines in
less than year is some record.
