Paci6cs With Tulips !
DESCEND on Washington

New York, April 2.-Several thou
sand militants and nearly a thousand
pacifSts filed a number of special
trains for Washington which left New
York to-day, beginning shortly after
midnight Although the advocates of
peace were outnumbered they got away
first, eight hours in advance of the first
train bearing those who styled them
selves patriot pilgrims" and who ia
vor war.
Each pacifist carried a white tulip
and wor an arm-band inscribed Keep
Out of War" Professor Elloy c. Stow
ell, of Columbia University, who led
the war pilgrims, said he expected
nearly 10000 persons would go from
New York on this errand why should
patriots go to Washington now?" be-
gins a statement issued by the COM
mittee in charge of the war pilgrims.
The statement continues "the hour has
struck to put an end to the Prussian
eligarchy and the house of Hohenzol-
lern. There can be no peace or dem
ocracy in the world until those enc
mics of democracy bite the dust"

FEW "FLITTIN'S'
SAY REALTY MEN
Scarcity of Houses For Rent in
City Is the Principle
Reason Given ~

April "hittings" will be far below the
usual number this year. This is the
prediction of ]. E. Gipple. president
of the Harrisburg Real Estate Board.
and other realty dealers in the city.
Scarcity of houses for rent is the
principal reason given by the many
realty men who for weeks have been
endeavoring to accommodate waiting
lists which, if totaled, would probably
include hundreds of names.
While the number of property titles
which have changed hands during
March indicates a big business for
sales. Mr.. Gipple said, the small number
of suitable houses for rent is causing
more than a little concern. Plans for
the erection of about a score of houses
in various sections will only afford
slight relief.
Realty dealers in the city have fam
lilies occupying houses now who were
supposed to leave to-day but could find
no suitable places. The need for mod
ern homes to be rented at reasonable
figures is increasing" Mr.. Gipple con-
cluded.

It is rather distressing to contem- plate the toll of u-boats, but it is 8 gratifying featue that the British newspapers are starting an agita- tion to force the admiralty toward more efficient defense on the sea.
 Success is the only thing tn 1t counts in war" says one London newspaper critic, in dt manding the resignation of Sir Edward Carson, the admiralty u-boat chaser.
 The declaration of Admiral Beres- ford in the house of commons that the admiralty reports on u-boat depre- dations are ."misleading," seems to be fact, and is furthe" evidence that the Carson regime is failing to meet the situation effectively.
 The Beresford charge was that the admiralty's weekly reports refer only to British ships sunk, ignoring the large numbers of neutral craft sent down, when as matter of fact vir. tually all neutral craf. in the "barre l zone" are bringing supplies to Eng land, and when sunk, are as damag- ing to the allied cause as if they were British ships. On the other hand, the admiralty's weekly report of "sailings" to and from British ports include British and neutral vessels. This evidently sly trek to deceive the allied public received the rebuke it deserved. The allied nations-of whom we are now a member, do not want fake information, which is like chloroform, intended to Hull us to sleep under the guise of false secur- ity.
 Calmer seas and longer days are giving the u-boats and their mine layers better oppor Unity to dam age the allied merchant fleets, ani if the British admiralty has failed to meet the danger effectively it will prove a potent aid to the kaiser.
