Circulation of books at the Har-
risburg Public Library is keeping up
at a surprising rate in spite of the
coming of warm weather and the
war activities. During April the cir

that month. Miss Alice r. Eaton.

reading the good solid kind of
books, too.

lima saying she was attacked by submarine has been received here. No further wireless calls after the call for help came.
 The Carolina had 22O passengers and 12O members of her crew aboard.
 The New York and Porto Rico Steamship Company was advised this afternoon from Washington that the Carolina was shelled by submarine. The passengers were taken to boats.
 The Carolina's wireless call was received at 2 o'clock last night. Shipping authorities estimate she was then in about the same position as where the schooner Edward H. Cole was destroyed by submarine.
 Later reports told of the sinking of the schooners, Hattie Dunn and Samuel w. Hathaway, off the New England coast and another report that a submarine torpedoed ship off the Nantucket was confirmed.

ENTHUSIASM OF YOUTH OF GERMANY NO LONGER
 NOTICEABLE IN WAR
Associated Press Dispatch

<AoRON1NSO~ SN~ Washington, June B. German youths no longer rush to the colors with the enthusiasm that marked the mobilization of 1914, according to an article in the Berlin Vossische Zei- tung, telling of the wartime impair
 ment of the German educational sys- tenn.
 "The spirit of voluntary service, which at the beginning of the war re-
 vealed itself in it's fairest aspect has now disappeared" says the articl
 Everywhere we hear lamentations
 over the increasing distaste shown for military service" Scholastic standards in the public school have fallen so low, it is said, that "promotions no longer represent
 any definite standard of accomplish ment." Scholastic efficiency has suffered considerably because pupils subsisting on war diets for long pe- riods are found to be generally un- dernourished.
 Juvenile delinquency has spread to an alarming extent, and it is an nounced that "already the number of violent crimes committed by youths in the city of Berlin is more than three times the number reported in 1914"
 Thus concludes the article, "dark
 shadows are falling over the brilliant
 picture of 1914. Every disciplinary influence, every effort of the still fundamentally sound German nation
 must be exerted to oppose this ten
 dency, and to lead the children back
 to the path of rectitude."

PORTO RICO HAS IN- VESTED $6,OOO,OOO IN
 THREE LIBERTY LOANS.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 San Juan, Porto Rico, June 3.--Six million dollars in subscriptions to the three Liberty Loans is, in round fig ures, Porto Rico's investment of money in the war.
 On the first loan approximately $7OO, ,O0O was subscribed in the island while nearly all of the large subscrip- tions were placed direct in the United States. Subscriptions of sugar com panies to the first loan, placed in the states, amounted to close on a half million dollars, one subscription alone having been $2OO,000. Total sub- scriptions in the island to the second loan were $1,986,9OO, while to the Third loan the total subscriptions were $2,783.O5O.

DEPARTURE OF OUTGOING VES-

Attack On American Shipping AL most At Entrance of New York HarbOr May Mean Submarine
 Campaign to Stop Trans port of Troops.
CAPTURE OF U-BOAT HUNDRED.
Associated Press Dispatch.

New York, June 3.-German sub- marines operating off the Jersey coast are known to have sunk one steamship and several other vessels today. One report to the maritime exchange places the number of yes ,sels lost at fifteen.
 Port authorities have barred the departure of all outgoing ships. It IS presumed here that submarines are now being dealt with by American destroyers. One rumor is that one submarine has been captured. E
 One of the ships sunk was Edward H. Cole, a sailing vessel. The com- uander of one of the submarines or dered the schooner to heave-to. He then boarded the Cole and gave the crew ten minutes to leave the ship German sailors then planted bombs and blew up the vessel. The crew later was picked up from small boats and brought here.
 The attack on American shipping al 2 most at the very entrance of New York harbor is taken to mean that Germany has inaugurated subma- rine campaign to break up the trans port of troops to France.

WAR WORK TEACHING WOMEN TO BECOME
 MORE BUSINESS-LIKE E

London, May g. Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The war has taught women not only how to drive cars, make shells, plough fields and become effective soldiers, but it also has taught many of them, who didn't know how before, to cook and to sew.
 A writer in London paper says he knows of several girls in a British government office who spend their evenings in learning cookery. Most of them," he says, s'come from homes where the things of the house have always been done for them by we'll trained servants. I asked one of these girls why she was spending her spare time in learning how to boil cabbages and make potatoes look at tractive.
 q want to feel independent" she ,aid, q expect to be married shortly, and I should feel such a fool if my husband came home suddenly on leave and I couldn't cook him a decent din- ner. We can't count on servants these days"
 War work, the writer concludes, whether it is work in an office or in a hospital or in factory, is teaching women to be business-like and order Ily. It is. teaching them that if a thing has to be done at all, 1t more pleasant and infinitely easier to do 1t well than to do it badly. And, above all, it is teaching women to be self dependent, giving them the desire to make a success of whatever they un- dertake.
 One of the hardest-worked of the new order of women employees is the "conductorette" of the motor bus Her job is particularly nerve-wearine and physically hard. She is exposed l to all kinds of weather and she must be constantly climbing the narrow winding stairs to collect fares from the passengers on top. She must make change in the dark and punch ticket for every fare, and the fare unlike that collected in the usua American city street car, varies ac' cording to the distance the passenger desires to ride.
 In the rush hours she must handle surging crowds. All the onerous du ties she performs wonderfully well and the marvel of it is that the stralr of the work doesn't spoil her temper But it is a rare sight to see con ductorette show irritation. As rul' she is d cheery, friendly little woman who gains the good will and admira tion of all who ride with her, espec
 ially the Americans. Londoners seen
 to have recovered long ago from thel
 astonishment over her achievements.

SEA OFFENSIVE
 |s LOOKED FOR
Hun Fleet May Come Out At Most Any Time Now, According to
 Rear Admiral Greaves.

New York, June 2.-Thc United States now has a large number of first class battleships preparing side l by side with the best ships of the British navy for an engagement on the high seas which is expected to occur at any time with the German fleet" according to statement made I in an address here tonight by Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves.
 "I am not going beyond the border line of secrecy" said Admiral Gleaves "when I say that few days ago 1 there came an alarm to the heads of the British navy that the German battleships were about to come out for the expected engagement on the high seas. I know that the British navy heads gave the first class American battleships a post of honor in prepar- ation for the attack"
 q do not profess to know much of what is going on in the arena of war on the other side of the ocean, "Ad- miral Gleaves continued, "because l am kept busy with my own part of the game, which is the management of the cruiser and transport opera tions.
 "Again I am limited to narrow lines lin the matter of giving out informa- tion and I would not go into details Ii I did know such things. But believe I am within the limitations of orders when I say that the United States has a large number of first class battle ships now preparing side by side with the best ships of the British navy for an enga cement on the high seas, which is expected to occur at any time with the German fleet.
 .I know that our ships now work ing with the British navy in making ready for this fight are in the prime of condition and are fully prepared to win the engagement. We have about I15O vessels over there now and be- tween 35,OO0 and 10000 men aboard them"
 Admiral Gleaves said that "we now have navy of 19,000 officers and more than 4O,00O men, or navy four times greater than it was just before we entered the war.
 Describing the life of soldiers aboard transports the admiral said that the men have everything that can be furnished them to remind them of life ashore"
 In reply to a question as to wheth- CT it had been found possible to carry airplanes on cruisers, he said:
 "All navies have been experiment. ing along such lines, but the air planes are so fragile that they are often put out of commission by the discharge of big guns of cruiser and

AMERICAS ENTRANCE
 INTO THE WAR IS RID-
 GLUED BY GERMANY
Associated Press Dispatch.

4 New York, June 3.-American par ticipation in the war, in the fight against German submarines and in the ship-building program were be- Elittled by Vice Admiral von Capelle, German minister of the navy, in his speech in the Reichstag few weeks ago, as reported by German news papers received here.
 "The military help of America in the first year of the war was very little regarding troops and airplanes, declared von Capelle. "The expecta- tion of our enemies has been greatly disappointed. If America later wants to maintain half million troops ln France it will need permanently a freight space in steamships of about 100000 tons which again would be depreciated from the ser vice of supplying her allies. According to American and Brit ish statements, the participation of such a large army IS no longer ln- volved in this campaign.
 ''In order to carry out the gigantic American program of shipping con struction, the ship-yards must first be built. In 1917 America, following all the huge promises, built 750,Ooo tons of sea-going ships. The large merchant fleet which America has ordered is not being built for the war but in order to take the place of Eng Hand as the worlds shipper after the war when the ships will have been completed"
 Discussing the economic situation created by Americas entrance into the war von Capelle pointed out that the United States was the most inn portant source of upplies for the Entente nations but, he added, "Ow- ing to the tremendous armament pro- gram of President Wilson, such eco homie difficulties have developed that America, the land of export must now begin to ration herself ln- stead, as had been hoped, to aid the Entente nations in increasing meas ures. All in all, it can be said that the economic difficulties of our enc Imies have been increased by Amerl ca's entrance into the war.
 In reply to charges that the Ger
 man misunderstanding program wal
 not progressing as rapidly as l
 should, von Capelle admitted tha
 Germany's enemies had attained cer
 tain successes in their defensiv
 measures against the U-boats. But
 he added, ''they have at no time al
 fected the U-boat warfare in any wa, Idecisively and, according to fore
 sight will not be able to do so in tn
 future.
 "The American U-boat chaser
 over which much fuss has been made
 are a failure.
 'The convoy system which give A the ships certain protection on tn other hand has great disadvantage! There is not day in which one c
 several ships are not shot out of cor voys."

 New York, June 3.Bitterly de- lending every barrier in the enemy's path French resistance on the western side of the Aisne salient is increasing. Sunday was apparently the poorest day the Germans have had since the offensive was renewed.
 The Germans are continuing strong attacks between Soissons and Noyon and from. the line on tlie Marne to North Ourco. The intention is prob ably to outflank the northern sector by forcing back the sector south of Soissons to the west of Villers Cot terets.

 In addition to the Edward H. Cole, vessels reported to the navy depart ment as sunk were the schooners Ja- cobs, Haskell and Isbelle D. Wiley. eAs news of the raid reached Wash ington naval officials gave assurance that American anti-submarine forces in home waters are ample to meet the attack.
 Undoubtedly the submarines were looking for transports, which is taker as a German admission to the worlc that the American army will turf the tide of battle against her on th' battlefield in France.
