possible, the source of the 'leak" by
which the Berlin government knew
four days before the. American de-
stroyers arrived that they We're due
in the European war zone. What con-
Germs high naval officials most Is that
the Berlin government not only new
in advance that the destrOyers were
en- route but also that they were due
at the particular British port to which
they were sent under sealed orders
Queenstown, Ireland. Naval officials
asserted that it was hard for them to
believe. that this fact had leaked"
from the department. g... IA
1t is suspected in some quarters
that the leak" may have been at
London or at Queenstown, rather than
i'm this country.
Very few messages were exchanged
between Admiral Sims and the navy
department dealing with the actual
movement of the destroyers, and this
information was sent in the navy's

CRACKED SABBATH
BIG scAFFoLD WAS RAISED AT
# PENN COLLEGE.

Application was made to Mayor
Harold and County Attorney Max
well O'Brien by one of the contract
.ors working at Penn College to raise
q derrick at the new work on the
Sabbath day. The contractor eX-
planned that the danger attending
the operation and the liability to &C
cident made the work on the Sab
bath both necessary and desirable,
as otherwise an accident might be
attended with serious consequence,
and possibly loss of life. Mr.. o.
Brien told the applicant that he could
not give him permission to violate
the law, but he anticipated no inter-
ference with work of necessity of
this character.
The contractor proceeded with the
task in question, helped by four or
five assistants. The huge piece of
apparatus, the boom" of which has
a length of seventy feet, was erected
without mishap or accident and the
men in charge were not molested. 1t
was really necessary that the work
be done on the Sabbath while free
dom from other work and absence OF
employees might be secured to reduce
risk Snd personal danger to a mini

RALLIES TO SUE
Ttst PORT RED CROSS.

The Sabbath morning meeting be-
came a patriotic service OF very prac-
tical turn. Following talks by DR.. Clar-
ence M. Case, chairman of the Month,
ly Meetings Peace Committee and the
pastor, the local Red Cross work was
materially strengthened by the addi-
ton of seventy names. When there is
added to this list the names of those
who have already joined, it totals
about one hundred from this congreg-
alton During the morning and even
ing meetings most OF the number paid
their dollars and win be provided with
the Red Cross buttons as soon as they
can be supplied .,s.
Not satisfied with this accomplish
ment, the meeting then considered the
work which is now being inaugurated
by the Friends church as a national
organization. The pastor presented
the work of relief that is now being
conducted in Europe, whereby the
starving are being provided for by the
Friends church. II has been estimated
that $40 will keep family of five a
month An appeal was made to the
congregation to undertake the task OF
caring for several of these families
AS no announcement of the subscrip'
ton had previously been made and
several families were not represented
! in the meeting, because of some other
meetings being conducted or attended
the work was not completed, $53.5C
per month was subscribed, however
and committee composed of Walter
Dexter J. w. Ewes Ora w. Carroll
Cora Madison and Casa Conover were
appointed to arrange for complete
canvass Of the membership. 1t is eX
pected that $500 per month during the
present emergency will be subscribed
The service yesterday morning was
made doubly impressive as some twen
ty young men of Registration" agt
acted as collectors and this was the
first anniversary of the Penn College
fire, when two of the members of this
church lost their lives.

MANY PEOPLE OUT.
BAND CONCERT GETS CROWD
DESPITE BAD WEATHER. .

Threatening weather Saturday af-
,ternoon kept a host of country peo-
pie from starting for town and the
coming of showers and drizzle of
rain drove home the townspeople
who came out to hear the regular
Saturday evening band concert, rem
dered in the park by Conductor John
Jeanetta and his men. Whether or
mot the band this season has had
more than the usual amount of ad-
Evertising, or whether the people are
taking keener interest in the or
ganization does not appear on the
lsurface, but the fact of increased
attendance, greater crowds giving
close and continued and critical at
itention to the program is establish
ed. Even Saturday evenings rain
was not sufficient to hold all back
nor to drive them. from hearing the
last selection. Had the evening
been pleasant and favorable, the inn
mense throng of the previous Satur-
day would have been exceeded.

RECRUITING IS FALLING OFF
Militia viii Need About 200, 900 Men

Regulations For Registration
Attacked in Congress.

Washington, May 2S.-The National
Guard must be recruited by draft to
its war strength of 100000 men.
States are showing a falling off in vol
unteer enlistments.
The prospects also are that men
between twenty-one and thirty years,
inclusive, will have TO be drafted he
fore the summer is over to enable the
government to bring the regular army
to its full authorized war strength.
Army regulations for war registra-
ton are under attack already in the
adelphia, by resolution, wants elimina-
ton OF the section requiring state
ments of reason for exemption with
registration. He contends it is un-
wise and unnecessary and leaves open
for criticism of lack of patriotism. His
resolution probably will fail.
Army Needs 100000.
Since April ! there have been 49,
$40 men recruited for the army out
of total of 1S3,S9S needed to bring
it to full war strength of 293,000 men.
Unless recruiting, which has shown a
decline during the last week, takes Il
squirt, 1t may be necessary to resort
\ to the draft.
Latest reports reaching the militia
bureau of the war department show
that recruiting for the National Guard
not in federal service is net holding
its own. During the last ten days "A
states reported gains in National
Guard recruiting, While ten states, the
District of Columbia and Hawaii re-
port losses. The net result is loss
of $50 men.
Guard Under Strength.
The chief factor in the loss is Ohio,
where the National Guard units not
I'm federal service have dropped from
G51 afiicers and 1924 men on May 10,
to 440 officers and S,002 men ON May
20. a loss of 3,033.
The last available figures on the
strength of the National Guard in the
federal service showed that Misy
there were 3,1S4 officers and GS.a3G
men. There are about 100000 men in
the grand units, which are TO be
drafted into the federal service be-
tween July 10 to August ).
To bring the National Guard to
full war strength of 100000 mon would
require the addition of more than 20O,-
coo recruits. Prospects now are that
this additional 100000 cannot be OBJ
tanned without the draft.
