Whole of West Ireland
on Verge Of Civil War;
Think Government Afraid
BY Associated Press

London, Oct. 25.-The seriousness
of the situation in ireland is insisted
upon by a correspondent of the Daily
Mail who has been following the Sim
Fein doings for several weeks. He
says the whole of west Ireland is on
the verge of armed rebellion, and
continues:
THE young priests in Professor
De Valera's train have suddenly
awakened to the danger of the spark
they helped to kindle and are now
trying to quench it. but I fear it
has gone too far. The militant Sim
Feiners are at the top of their stride.
They have been allowed to carry
their program to pitch which, il
seems almost hopeless to break by
pacific means
"The Sim Feiners are sublimely
confident and say that Tuesdays de-
bate in Parliament shows plainly the
Government is afraid of them"
The police are now arresting SOW
eral local leaders in Cork and Linn
erick, but the Sim Feiners say that
these are small fry and do not mat
ter. They boast that the authorities
dare not arrest Professor De Valera
or Countess Marl5ievicz.

Governor Calls on Them to
Register For Duty Dur

Governor Brumbaugh day is
sued a proclamation calling upon the
women of Pennsylvania to register
for war service on November

The proclamation says that "un-
der unusual economic conditions
arising from the withdrawal from
productive industry of over 100000
men of PENNSYLVANIA TO enter the
national service in this war time" :"
the production of important material
is menaced at a time when most
needed. The Governor says that it
is imperative that Pennsylvania
should continue to lead in the crisis
not only in quantity and quality of
service, but in support for the gov
ernment.
The Governor then says:
This can be done only by utiliz-
ing the womanpowers of the Com
monwealth, and the national govern
ment has requested that accurate in,
formation be secured at once of the
capability of women to serve in this
emergency either in their own homes

at German Pirate While

SUBMARINE ESCAPES
BY GOING UNDER
Call For Help Brings Fight
ing Scout Ship at Thirty
Knots an Hour Through
High Seas
BY associated Press

a French Seaport, Wednesday,
Oct. 24.-Ecsaping from a German
submarine after bitter fight lasting
nearly four hours and with seven of
her crew wounded, two of them seri
ously, an American steamer arrived
here this morning from an American
port. The timely intervention of an
American torpedoboat alone saved
the ship from being sent to the pot
tom.
A few hours after the vessel had
entered the danger zone lookout
sighted a submarine on the port bow
but before he had time to report its
presence the submarine fired a shot
which missed the stern of the ship
by few yards. The captain sent out
q wireless call for assistance as the
position of the submarine was such
that escape was nearly impossible.
Gun Crew Active
The gun. crews of the submarine
and the steamer then began to eX-
change shots. The chief gunner of
the steamer opened fire at range of
5000 yards, but all the shots fell
short. The submarine kept maneu-
Vering to keep out of the range of
the steamers guns, at the same time
maintaining a running fire in an et-
fort to disable them. The merchant
ship after altering her course started
at full speed in an attempt to es-
cape.
The stubbornness of the battle is
indicated by the fact that the subma-
rine fired 234 shots at the steamer,
which responded with more than $50
shots.
Engines Hit
After the fight had continued for
| about two hours and several shoCs
| had struck the ship, wounding four
men, one shell hit the vessel and eX-
! ploded in the engineroom, putting
! the engines out of commission and
rendering the ship helpless. The
! German commander then approach
| ed nearer and the submarine con-
tinued to rain shells upon the dis
! abled craft.
A high sea was running at the
time and there seemed little hope OF
saving the ship, when low streak
! of black smoke was sighted on the
| horizon. 1t later proved to be an
| American torpedoboat destroyer
coming at full speed, running right
| into the sea and at times nearly dis
! appearing from view.

appeared beneath the subface. The
American warship circled about the
! spot, dropping few depth charges
but no more signs of the U-boat were
| seen.
While coming to the steamers rs.
sistance the destroyer kept sending
assuring messages such as hold on,

! The steamers wireless apparatus

arrival of the American destroyer
was quite unexpected. The subma.
rine apparently was aware of The

And who'll match Mr.. Dapp?"
I'll match Dapp," called Mr..
Tracy.
Then the matching started in
earnest. In 20 minutes more than
the necessary S202, 900 had been
subscribed. A parade followed. The
500 solicitors covered the principal
downtown streets, headed by the
Tech band, hastily summoned from
its studies.
Goal Not Yet Reached
While many of the allied towns
have not reported their total sales
the goal of s7,500,000 was not cleared
up in Harrisburg district at noon to-
day. 1t is generally conceded that the
entire amount will be raised without
difficulty.
The feature of the big drive in this
city to-day was the work done by the
team captained by b. NJ. Ogelsby. ad-
vertising manager for the Harrisburg
Telegraph. Mr.. Ogelsby was appoint
ed to the place of captain to fill a
vacancy. His team made a good
showing during the first two days OF
the campaign, and few persons in the
building suspected that John c. Her
mans division, of which Mr.. Ogelsby
was an official member, intended
springing the sensation of the cam
paign. Ogelsby's crew sold bonds to-
day valued at more than a half mil
lion dollars. the exact figures being
s537,50O. Included in this amount
was a subscription from Dives, Pom
eroy & Stewart, the big department
store firm, for 100000.
Robert McCormick's division had
been in the lead for the first two
days of the drive. When E. d. Hill
his report, he brought down the
house by declaring: That Ogelsby
stuff makes me sick!" Peter niagara
reported sales for his team amount
ing to $4,000. Donald Mccormick S
team made a fine showing with sales
Of $266,450. Both modestly told how
they had secured most of their sub
sCribers in Strawberry and Cherry
alleys, the district to which they
were assigned. Everyone admitted
that it was some feat.
l.. NJ. Neiffer couldn't understand
why his team reported sales of only
S24, $50 for the day, remarking that
his team contained timber that would
grace the Presidents Cabinet
Try 1t on Your Piano
Try this on your piano. The bond
salesmen like it. When Ogelsby an
nounced the sales of his team for the
day, the audience sang the words
until they were hoarse. "Goodby,

in this city to-day.
