Cunard Lines Loss
. 2O6,769 Gross Tons of
Ships in War Period

New York, Nov. 23.-Fifteen steam
ships aggregating 2O6,769 gross tons,
were lost by the Cunard Line during
the period of the war it was learned
here to-day. All except two were
sunk by torpedoes or mines. The
Campania and the Ascania were lost
through accidents. The tonnage sunk
represents approximately one-half of
that possessed by the line at the out
break of the war in 1914. Nearly all
of the Cunard liners We're well known
Atlantic greyhounds. the largest of
which was the Lusitania, torpedoed
on May Z. 1915.
The Anchor Line, subsidiary of
the company, also lost heavily, eight
ships, including the 14.34O-ton Tus-
cania, falling victims to the German
sea depredations, the total tonnage
loss of this line being 5,4SS.

City park department funds this
year were kept at minimum and
only repairs and maintenance which
were absolutely necessary could be
done. In other departments similar
conditions existed, the budget only
containing funds for repairs and
maintenance which were so essen
tial that they could not be dropped.
Want Salary Increase
That salary increases, which sent
the appropriation total thousands of
dollars above the 1917 figures, are
again contemplated for some en-
ployes seems evident. To what eX-
tent these raises can be carried out
will be one of the problems for the
commissioners to solve.
Another worry which may develop
for the commissioners will be the
ash collection contract. This year it
is costing Harrisburg 100000 for
semi-mOnthly collections until the
end of the year What the bids will
be for the 1919 contract no one will
venture to say, but it is estimated
by some of the officials that the fig
ures will be very much higher than
$4,000.

land TO the city free by the heirs
until a typographical survey of the
park and surrounding tract was
made last winter by j.. Clark Cow

trustees of the estate. The president
of the Fidelity Trust Company, who,
with young Mr.. Mckee, is trustee for
the McKee-Graham estate, visited
the city some time ago and was much
impressed with the plans of the COM

Planning Commission is in position
to announce that it will be in full

1t is not the purpose of the COM

of labor shortage and the high cost
of materials, but TO ask Council to
employ an expert, such as Mr..
Fuertes. who designed the Wildwood
Lake project and the filter plant, to
make plans for the lake to hold the
waters of the big springs, and Mr..
Manning to complete his outline for
the parking of the area. When this
is done the work will be undertaken
as soon as the finances of the city
will permit. ......

Made in
York County Case

The State Compensation Board has
ruled in the claim of Reno VS.. j. Il.
Baker Company, York, that an EN-
ploye who goes to a dangerous point
,on a quarry track by direction of a
foreman and is injured while arrang
ing to secure material for the next
days work is entitled to compensa-
tion. In Bath VS.. Aetna Chemical
Company a Blair county case, it is
found that carpenter working tenn
,porarily in an explosive plant and
sickened by inhaling chemical fumes
is entitled to compensation during
his disability and that disability is
capable of proof. The board has held
that men whose health became inn
paired as a result of permanent work
in chemical plant are not entitled
to compensation. The board rein
stated the compensation agreement in
Coulson VS.. Coulson, Hanover.
In refusing compensation In Kunin
VS.. Pennsylvania Railroad it is held
that the claimant had no business in
jumping a freight to go from his
work for the company and that the
fact that he was going to his board
inghouse where the hours were post
Ell does not enter into the case.

GERMAN OFFICER
DEFENDS MURDER
OF SUB VICTIMS
Twenty More U-Boats Taken
= Over by British Admiral
Off Harwich -
By Associated Press

IIarwich, SGng. Nov. 90. - Conn
manded chiefly by sublieutenants,
twenty more German submarines
We're surrendered to Admiral Sir
Reginald Tyrwhitt off Harwich yes
terday morning. making a total of
hfty-nine undersea boats thus far
handed over. One U-boat sank dur
ing Thursday night, otherwise twen-
ty-one would have been taken as
Allled war prizes. One of the sub
leutenants affirmed that his senior
oii1cer did not come because he had
peen mentioned in the British press
as a marked, man. The U-boat
which sank while on the way to Har-
wien was a victim of rough wealth
eT.
The correspondent of the British
wireless service with the British ma
val forces says that just before noon
cruiser came into sight, followed
byt the German submarines and a
German transport. The transfer took
place in the harbor Oh account of
the heavy sea running. The major
ity of the submarines were large
and nearly all were fitted with wire
less equipment.
When the Germans arrived il was
noticeable the revolutionary element
was decidedly present. Some of the
officers had removed the Prussian
eagles from their caps and replaced
them with a sort of red badge that
recognizes the authority of the Sail
ors' and Soldiers Council. There
seemed to be little discipline among
the lot The men took very little
notice of anything their officers said
TO them. One shouted mo officer
no kaiser"
Some of the Germans were ex-
ceedingly anxious to air such Eng
lish as they possessed while others
suppressed their accomplishments in
that direction with equal care. One
German officer, who was inclined to
be communicative, attached himself
to the correspondent and said he
worked in London before the war.
He added:
II had an intimation, as many of
us had, that we should be wanted
in the summer of 1914, so 1 went
back to Germany month or two
before war was declared. L was
not in the subarine service at first
but volunteered for it, and had
fair share of luck. You British say
1t was not fair fighting, but we Ger
mans believe that the end justifies
the means. Then you complain that
we shoot your men while they are
in the water. Why not? The men
might be saved and fight us another
day. We should be fools to let them"
All of the crew of one subma-
rine, with the exception of an ofii~
Ger, were intoxicated.

Restrictions Removed
From All Construction

1t is thought that construction work
in this city will be given a great
impetus with the announcement by
Ernest r. Trigg, regional adviser of
the Resources and Conversion sec
tion of the War Industries Board,
that all restrictions on construction
projects of every kind have been
removed. 1t is understood that a
number of building projects have
never been undertaken because of
the ban on the shipment of many
necessary materials, but with the ban
removed they now may be UNDER
taken.

.Unearth Plot to Steal
Bank Notes From u S.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Discovery
of an attempt to smuggle package
containing thousands of dollars in
partially printed SO and $40 federal
reserve. notes, from the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, was reveal
ed yesterday BY Treasury officials.
A small number of the bills, be-
Ieved to be less than $1,000, had
been stolen before the scheme was
detected, and were put into circula-
ton here. Five negro laborers of
the bureau are under arrest on sus-

been manufactured for beverage
since September last year. This will
leave saloons and cafes only wines
to sell for three months before they
are forced to close altogether. There
fore it is thought that the licensed
places in Dauphin county will think
seriously before applying for 1919
licenses.
One hundred and twenty-seven sa-
looms and liquor dispensaries will go
out of business in Dauphin county
when the bone dry law goes into
effect. Fifty-seven of them are in
Harrisburg.
Strange as it may seem, the price
of whisky has deprecated during
the last few days. in spite of the re-
duced stocks. Fear of the almost
prohibitive taxes, with an attendant
anxiety to be rid of their stocks,
on the part of the dealers. and re-
fusal of the people to pay the in
fated prices, are thought to be re-
sponsible for the drop.
Few Regrets
Few regrets will mark the passing
of the saloon, it is thought. Since
the lllllHB VI liS iHlluSuZd pdn Oll
saloons three weeks ago, the liquor
faucets have poured forth con-
tinuous object lesson of intemper-
ance. During the ban, the work of
the police department was decreased
by more than half, the pawnbrokers
were idle, and disorderlies in the
streets was reduced to a fraction of
what it had been.
1t would be impossible to estimate
the amount of criminology in Harris
burg due to liquor. The annals of
the police department showed that
with the laying of ban on sa-
looms, the number of arrests per day
decreased from three dozen to three
persons. over night The police de-
partment. therefore, will welcome
the prohibition with considerable ap-
