equipment and organization of the
military and the providing of ways
and means for the public works, which
would require a special session of the
Legislature" Senator Sproul said. "It
would take some time for the Gov

matters to be considered would have
to be specified in the call. while II
the Legislature should merely recess

amending stage, and Mr.. Spangler,
York, made an unsuccessful effort to
have the writ changed from the coun-
ty to city, borough or township. Mr..
Spangler said the county unit was too
large. remarking that York county
might vote dry" and carry with it the
city of York, which would vote wet.
Mr.. Ramsey, Delaware, attacked
the bill. saying that the Brooks high
license law was n good local option
law itself and that the enactment OF
the Nickerman bill would not take
liquor out of politics.
Vickerman Defends Measure
Mr.. Fickerman, sponsor for the bill,
advocated local option as home rule,
the principle of local self-government
and asserted that the advocates of the
measure wanted the county unit. He
closed by warning members that they
would hear from their districts if
they voted against the bill
Mr.. Flynn, Democrat, Elk, said that
the bill was unfair in that elections
could be held only in wet" dis
tricts. He remarked the bill came
here session after session and was reg
ularly defeated and he doubted if it
would work well in an industrial State
like PENNSYLVANIA if enacted.
Mr., Snyder, Westmoreland. an ad-
ing to be said in defense of the liquor
traffic. He gave statistics OF the traf-
flee and recited the sorrows it brings.
Mr.. Goodman, Venango, urged the
bill as a economic measure. and as
meeting the demand for majority rule
in government.
Mr.. Davis, Cambria, discussed the
effect of a local option bill on proper
ty, saying the question of revenue was
one that had also to be considered.
Mr.. Lands, York, declared that
compensation in connection with Ii
censes was a dangerous issue and
should not be brought up. The treach-
cry of politicians, he said, was respon-
sible for so much trouble over liquor
licenses and he demanded why drugs
are to be eliminated and liquor retain
ed. Mr.. Lanius said Democratic legis-
altors are in duty bound to vote for
the bill, because of the State platform
of 1912.
Mr.. Stadtlander, Allegheny, started
out to assail the bill, saying he repre-
sented an iron making district and
closed by saying he hoped the bill
would pass.
Mr.. McVicar Allegheny. referred to
nations and States which had gone
dry" and said local option was COM
ing in this State.

Attendance at Sale
Proves Advertising Power

The power of newspaper advertising
was again demonstrated this morning
in connection with the sale of the
stock of the art needle and novelty
shop formerly conducted by Mrs.
Roumfort at 1908 North Third street
at the store of Bowman & Co.
As announced in Bowman's adver-
tisement in the TELEGRAPH last
evening, tn estock was to be placed on
sale this morning, and despite the
inclement weather the extra space and
extra sales people provided for the
occasion proved none too adequate for
the crowds who patronized the event
from the opening hour.

If 1 had the power, l would be only
too delighted to offer Villa a command

required, in case the nation gets into
active warfare. and in times of other
great national Emergencies it has been
necessary for the Governor to convene
the Legislature in special session. 1t
would cost the State half a million
dollars, at least, to convene a special
session, and there would be delay in
organization and in getting down to
work"
Could Keep in Touch
Senator Sproul suggested that it
would be possible for the Legislature
to recess from time to time, so that
it would be in touch with the situation
and that the State would be at little
expense. He suggested that a reso-
luton could be passed providing that
the employees of the Senate and House
of Representatives should not be paid
except for the time that the Legis-
lature was actually in session, and that
some allowance could be made to
members and employees for mileage to
compensate them for returning for the
one or more adjourned sessions which
might be necessary.
Senator Sproul said his suggestion
has been received with a great deal of
favor and it is very likely that the
leaders will agree upon some such
plan.

LONG RANGE BOATS IS
 GERMANY'S PLAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-A Lon don special says Germany, antici- pating entirely new methods of at tacks against her submarines, has been constructing U-boats of 5000 tons, capable of making 25 knots on the surface, carrying several four-inch and six-inch guns, and able to remain at sea for two or three months, cruising thousands of miles. Several of the new submar- ines are rapidly nearing comple- ton. They are expected to go af- ter American shipping in the mid Atlantic and perhaps off the Amer ican coast. It is said the new craft will have greater difficulty in gaining the sea, but will not oper- ate in the present zone, although they are declared to be almost inn mune to the methods heretofore successful in combating the smaller U-boats.
