UNNECESSARY TRAVELLING.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.-An ap-
peal to the public to refrain from
unnecessary travelling during the holi-
days, so as not to congest its lines,
is issued by the Pennsylvania Rail
road company. The appeal sets forth
that the company's lines will be
called upon to carry about 1900
soldiers on holiday leave from army
cantonments to their homes and
back, and to meet this situation
successfully it requests that "as an
act of patriotism, pleasure travel
during the holiday period be suspend
ed and that railroad travel be vol
unfairly restricted to necessary trips
on affairs of business"

given the government 10000 more
guns early In the war.
The navy ordered $500 Lewis guns
on April 20. Borie said, on special
tests ordered for April s. The war
department ordered 1900 to use with
American ammunition on the

His firm declined to make the new

coming along the coast on their last
trip and while passing in between
Montauk point and Vineyard Haven
the lookout sighted something in the

not hail the bridge but jumped down
from his post on the Top gallant fore

in the ear of the officer on watch that
he say something which might be a
periscope He pointed and the officer
saw it too. He admits that his hand
shook trife as he reached for his
glasses and even after he had drawn a
bead on the object he was reasonably
sure he had at last sighted the outward
and visible sign of a submerged and
invisible submarine U-boat or some
thing else of that nature. It was APP
parently about 20 feet high out of the
water, and had sort of turn in the top
end which made the illusion all the
more certain. The officer called the
skipper and they both looked at the
object, all the while keeping straight

boat was worth which is quite consid-

to 1t. The captain had a more power

finally made out what looked to him
like q steel collar and some clew ear
rings. He took out his big spyglass
and took another good long look and
then saw what it was, the stump of a
mast broken off in tie earrings and
with the stump turned over in such
way as to give it the stove pipe ap
pearance that all well regulated peri
scopes are supposed to have. There
has been no report Of a vessel having
been wrecked lately in that part of the
world but the officers are sure that
the spar came from some old wreck
