SHIP SHORTAGE GROWS
SERIOUS FOR ENTENTE
[Continued from First Page.l

the submarine losses and supply the
constantly increasing demands.
Situation Serious
There is no Disgusting the fact
that the shipping situation Is serious.
Do not misunderstood me-the ship
ping situation has not grown serious
through any increased success of the
German submarine warfare. AS a
matter of fact the German subma-
rine war is being held down very
well and the average sinSings show
no increase either in number of ships
or tonnage. The sinkings in the At
lantic main routes are now very low
and the greater proportion of the
sinkings occur in out way
spots, indicating either that the sub
marines have been forced afield or
that a larger number of them are
operating.
Tonnage Shrinking
But the total available tonnage
is shrinking slightly while, on the
other hand, the demands for tonnage
from all directions are increasing
tremendously. Where three ships
were needed year ago, four are
needed now. France is very short of
coal, one of the vital necessaries for
winter Italy is short of coal, and the
shortage is so serious that it is caus-
ing the Italian government the ut
most concern. For, all these short
ages there is only one remedy, name
ly tonnage.
But a still more important de-
mand for tonnage comes from Amer
ica, whence the entente's great re-
serve of men must come this winter.
The necessity for tonnage to trans
port the American Army and keep
them supplied is perhaps the most
important feature of the shipping
situation.
so, the entente statemen have
arrived at. the conclusion that the
winning of the war may depend on
the new effort which will be de-
manded of England and America
this winter, an effort to push quick
ly to completion more quickly than
ever attempted before-ileet upon
fleet of ships to carry the sinews of
war to the fighting nations"

cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes
of Cuticura Ointment for two months
when was completely healed" (Signed)
Frank Geklinsky, 1920 Mine ST., r. F.
D. /, Taylor, Pa, January %, 1917.
1t is easy to prevent skin and scalp
troubles by using Cuticura Soap, and no
other, for all toilet purposes, assisted
now and then by touches of Cuticura
Ointment to first signs of pimples,
rashes, dandruff or irritation. Battle
with Cuticura Soap and hot water, dry
lightly and apply Cuticura Ointment.
AT once the itching ceases, sleep and
rest follow, and complete healment in
most cases results in continued use of
these fragrant super-creamy emollients.
Absolutely nothing better.

REGISTRATION Is
ABOVELAST YEAR
1910 More Than in 1917;
Country Voters. Making
Sure of Ballots

Registration of voters in the
county this year exceeded that of
last year, according to figures COM
piled by the county commissioners
office from returns of the county
district registry assessors. The city
totals Will be computed next week
after the final registration day.
County officials account for the big
increase because of the large number
of men coming here for employment
in the big steel plants. The most
notable gain is in Steelton, where
740 of the 1900 increase is recorded.
While the drafting of men for the
national army will reduce the num-
ber of voters slightly, 1t is not be-
lieved that it will bring the total
below that of last year.
Total registrations in the county
district this year were 20,405; last
year 1905; in Steelton this year
1895; last year. 3.245; Middletown,
1917, 1928; last year. 1,64S.

Iiftinc Power of Heat.

Weight can be raised by heat, and in this agent is a great. source of me chanical power.
 A pound of coal produces by its combination with oxygen an amount of heat which. if mechanically applied, would suffice to raise weight of 100 pounds to height of 20 miles above the earth's surface. Conversely. 100 pounds falling from a height of 20 miles and striking against the earth would generate an amount of heat equal to that developed by the com buStion of a pound of coal.
 Wherever work Is done by heat. heat disappears. A gun which fires a ball is less heated than one which fires a blank cartridge. The quality of heat communicated to the boiler of a work ing steam engine Is greater than that which could be obtained from the re condensation of the steam after 1t had done its work. and the amount of work performed Is the exact equivalent of the amount If heat lost.
