DENMAN'S WOOD
SHIP PROGRAM

There will be no additional wooden
EhIps built by the United States. Those
already contracted for will be com
pleted. But no others are to be arrang-
ed for at this time.
This was officially admitted by the
Federal Shipping Board today. BY
this action the reorganized board has
in effect, sustained General Goethals,
who, with former Chairman William
Denman, was forced out OF the Emerg-
ency Fleet Corporation following a
controversy which seriously interfer-
red with the plans OF the Government
20 furnish a fleet OF American mer-
chant vessels to replace those sunk
by German submarines.
Wood Program Abandoned.
mo contracts for any more wooden
ships are contemplated at the present
time. For the time being the wooden
ship program is abandoned" was the
only official word issued on the sub
ject. But It was learned from an eX-
ceIlent source that the board is prac'
tically unanimous that wooden YES
sells are an unnecessary makeshift
and would be of no use to this Gov
ernment.
Chairman Hurley. OF the commits
sion, after a complete investigation
of the entire subject. has come TO the
conclusion, IT is learned. that the pro-
posed wooden ship is surpassed in
every way for war service, and for
subsequent peace use, by those con
structed Of steel. He is understood TO
have taken the position that money
spent on wooden craft of low speed
would simply be wasted. And his sen
timents have now the Endorsement of
q majority OF the commission and OF
practically all of the commissions eX-
perts.
To Let Contracts Today.
Contracts have been prepared BY
the Emergency Fleet Corporation fol
the construction OF three Government
owned shipyards. These will be sen
to the secretary OF the board by Ad-
miral Capps today for signature. A
the same time contracts will be sign
ed for the construction OF 200 ships
in the yards. These ships will b'
built Of fabricated steel.
Contracts which are to be signed
today call for S35,OOO.000 for ship
yards. These contracts have beer
approved by the shipping board an'
the Emergency Fleet Corporation ant
the matter OF signature is merely I
formal proceeding.

|ALL TOWNSHIP
CLAIMS CLEARED
Over $1,500,000 Added to
State Highway Department
Appropriation :

Members of the Senate appropria-
tion committee last night decided to
clear up all the claims of townships
against the State under the Jones
dirt road" act of 1909. To do this
1t was necessary to add over 81 500,-
900 to the highway bill. making 1t
carry $12.520,519.7S. To clear up
the township claims the item for the
purpose was made sS,015,51s.7s.
The amendments behind which
were Senators Jones and other 'ad-
vocates of good roads, will clear up
all claims from 1910. The amend
ments were very we'll received in the
House.
The Senate concurred in the House
resolution urging the passage of the
food control bill now pending in
Congress and when it's leaders realiz-
ed that this action carried with it a
virtual endorsement of the prohibi-
ton provisions contained in the bill
as it passed the National House of
Representatives, a motion to recon-
slider the resolution was adopted and
1t was sent to the Senate committee
on health and sanitation.
The resolution was introduced in
the House at the morning session by
Representative Rhodes, Fayette, and
was adopted without discussion. No
one rose in the Senate to oppose 1t
when tho resolution reached the Sem
ate for consideration, but two hours
later Senator McNichol, Philadel-
and the motion was seconded by
Senator Mckee, Allegheny.
The Senate spent most of the night
waiting for action on the mine
cave" bills and concurring in House
amendments. The general appro-
priation bill did not come out.
The automobile bill underwent
considerable changes. The commit
tee reduced the age limit to sixteen
years and changed the time when
license fees shall be cut in half from
July 1 to September 1. The mini
mum fee was raised for pleasure
cars of less than thirty-five horse
power to ten dollars. Other cars
were untouched. The rates made for
solid tires were: Less than 5000
pounds, $40; less than 1000 pounds,
SIS; less than 5000 pounds, $40; less
than 1000 pounds, $25; above 1000
pounds, $50.
All trailers were increased accord
ingly, and dealers fees increased to
SIS, while members and general Of
ficers of Legislature will be exempt
from license fees. The bill takes ef-
feet January l. 1918.

Motion

The biennial slaughter of bills oc-
CURED in the House last evening
when over $50 bills which had orig
mated in the House were stricken
from the calendar by motion carried
about 1890 when members realized
the end was at hand. This action
killed the workmen's compensation
amendments; the Democratic trust
buster" Philadelphia small council,
soldiers pension, Pittsburgh tax and
other bills which have attracted
much notice. Fifty bills for new
highway routes also went down.
The House had cleaned up appro-
priation bills and was working on
final reading calendar of over $50
bills when Mr.. Powell, Luzerne,
moved to strike off a couple of his
own bills. Mr.. Phillips, Clearfield,
moved to amend by striking off all
House bills. He said most of them
would never be reached in time to
get to the Senate for action anyway.

an operation which would mean GER

without being a permanent cripple,
nine-year-old Elizabeth Harloy, of

MARTIN WINNER
WITHBIGSCORE:
is BADLY HURT

Finishing with high score record
for the day, John G. Martin, former
president of the Harrisburg Sports
mems Association, yesterday met
with an accident that may keep him
out of his favorite sport for some
time. Martin had rolled up a total
of 147, and his record for straight
breaks was II.
He went to the clubhouse to rec
ord his score in his diary and stood
under a window. The latter opened
on a pivot. A rush of wind blew
the window shut with a bang. Mar
tin put up his hands to protect his
face from the flying glass. and his
left hand came in contact with a
large piece of glass. The first finger
ton being two inches in length. A
cash three inches long was made
in the second finger.
May Not Shoot To-day
First aid experts gave prompt at
tention to the wounded sportsman,
and later he had his injuries dress
ed by a surgeon. The latter advised
Martin to take good care and was
of the opinion that it would be ad-
visable not to handle a gun for at
least two weeks. Martin was not
certain that he would get into the
shoot to-day.
Yesterdays program opened
two-day registered shot and found
many crack shots from all over the
state as well as several prominent
professionals in the lineup. Good
scores were prominent and 1t was an
ideal day for trapshooting.

GOLF GAINS AS
POPULAR SPORT
Big Army of Players Swing
Clubs Early and Late;
New York Growth

Although there is no way of ascer-
tanning accurately the number of new
recruits enrolled as golf devotees each
season, 1t has been estimated that no
fewer than 100000 Join the ranks
every year. And those who are in a
position to Judge state that this esti-
mate is conservative. There is no
doubt that golf now has more actual
participants than any other sport.
Baseball has thousands of players
and millions of spectators each sea-
SON. but when IL comes to actual play
ers golf unquestionably has more than
baseball. This is true because there
are no age limits or weight limits IN
to make weight, but If they had to
make weight to play-well. that would
be different
A critic who recently made an ex-
haustive effort to determine just how
many new players enlist to pursue
the elusive ball over the links of this
country every year declared that as
nearly as can be figured out 100000 is
about right.
Many Golf Courses
There are approximately 1900 golf
courses in this country. This mum
Der does not include the INKS Iald OUT @
on many private estates. There IS no
way OF finding out how many OF these
there are. If 1t were possible it would
be found the total number, OF courses
would be greatly increased.
Some idea of the growth OF golI
can be CLEANED from what has trans
pired in this district. No doubt the
growth here has been greater than IN
some less thick!y populated sections
of the country, hut II is safe TO state
that the growth OK the game has been
in, proportion everTwhere:
Growth in New York
Five years ago it was estimated that
not more than 500 persons played on
the public courses at Van Cortlandt
and Pelham Bay parks. rms year
more than Z, 900 permits have been is
sued to players for Van Cortlandt,
Mosholu and Pelham. That's an IN
crease of l 400 per cent. in five years.
or a yearly increase of approximately
800 per cent.
officials declare that it is nothing
unusual for as many as 500 cards 70
be issued at Van Cortlandt alone TO
PLAYERS on Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays 1t must be remembered that
they begin to play as early as 4:SO IN
the morning these days ana don't

IN NO-MAN'S LAND
In No-Man's Land, I wonder If
The gray ghosts meet when night droops down?
To talk of charge and counter charge,
OF trench attack blazing town?
To laugh, maybe, at fear PAIN
They knew before the shrapners sweep?
Or, they content to know
A dreamess and eternal sleep?
In No-Man's Land, I wonder now
If phantom millions meet at night
To talk of rose-sweet years at home
Before they toppled in the fight?
OF one who waited through the dusk
When summer winds were on the wing
Or, they happy now to know
The sleep that only graves can bring?
1 wonder if they dream
OF ancient fields and country lanes?
OF tangled by the gate
OF one with rose blood in her veins?
Or do they dream of crashing
With old commands in some new fight?
Or, are they content to know
The sleep that lasts beyond the night?
