BY INFLUENZA
Ways and Means of Providing
For Epidemic Victims

Discussion of ways and means to
provide for approximately $4,000
children left orphans in Pennsylva-
MIA by the influenza epidemic began
at a meeting in the Senate Cham
Der to-day, under auspices of the
state Department of Health and It
is expected that by tonight plan
will be adopted which can be recon-
mended to the state at large. Par
ticipating in the meeting which was
called to order by DR.. B. Franklin
Roger, acting state commissioner of
health, were representatives of de-
partments and boards of the state
government and various societies and
agencies interested in child well
fare.
In opening DR.. Royer said that
the lines of action to be considered
were: Methods of having children
legally adopted into suitable homes:
arrangement for more or less perma-
nent care in private homes and in
stitutional or county care. c. C.
Jones, director of civilian relief of
the Pennsylvania Red Cross, and j.
c. Shellenberger, of the Children's s
Aid Society, Philadelphia, spoke on
the Importance of the subject and
ways of caring for children. Ed

Charities, suggested county care, but
w. Grant Rauch. of Harrisburg, rep
resenting the DaQphin County Coun-

method. A general discussion fol-

Rendezvous Fixed

London, Nov. l9.-German
submarines to be handed over to
the Allies have passed through
the Kaiser Wilhelm canal on
their way to England, according
to advices received i'll Copen-
hagen from 'Kiel and transmitted
by the Exchange Telegraph
Company.

section OF the Kiel fleet which
has started for the North Sea
to surrender to the Allies COM
prises the battleships Bayern,
Grosser Kurfuerst, Kronprinz
Wilhelm, Markgraf, KONG Al
bert and Kaiserin and the
cruisers Scydlitz and Moltke.
London. Nov. 19.-The program
for the surrender of the German fleet
as the result of conferences held be-
tween British and German naval
authorities, is that the ships will
and will be taken over by the Allies
on Thursday. King George and the
Prince of Wales will review the
grand fleet at Rosyth on Wednes-
day. Later the fleet will sail for the
rendezvous assigned for the sur
, render ceremony.
The Times naval correspondent
writing of the subject of the sub
mission of the fleet, says
Surrender to BE Impressive
The surrender in accordance with
the armistice conditions will be made
to a force in which the navies of
France and America, as well as our
own, are represented. In its out
ward signs the business cannot fail
to be impressive.
The appearance of the long lines
of vessels to be surrendered, carry
ing reduced crews and no armament;
the method of their transference to
the allied escorts; the exchange of
flags on the German ships when that
happens and the striking of the COL
ors which have replaced the imper-
ial ensign, the ancient token of
yielding, will be among the more
interesting features of the manifes-
tation.
There is another significance
which attaches to this act of sub
mission, for it represents the non
fulfillment of one of the principal
purposes for which the German navy
was created-to protect Germany's
sea trade and colonies.

MAJOR GRAY HERE
TO DISCUSS RIVER
DEEPENING PLAN
Noted Engineer to Speak at
Public Meeting in Tech
nical High School
IL CAN EASILY BE DONE
First Conference Held With
State Officials Regarding
Commonwealth Part

Major William B. Gray arrived in
Harrisburg last. evening from Della
ware City. where he is engaged in
experimenting a big government
! contract, to speak by permission of
the War Department this evening at
n public meeting to be held in the
Technical High school on making
the Susquehanna river navigable.
While the meeting will be held un-
der the auspices of the Harrisburg
Rotary Club, and representatives of
the Chamber of Commerce. the state
government, the Engineers Club,
the Kiwanis Club and delegations
from Columbia and elsewhere, will
be present by special invitation, the
public is invited. No tickets will be
required and admission will be free.
Major Gray, who has conducted
many big water way projects in re-
cent years, has spent all his leisure
during the past few months In gath
ering data on the Susquehanna prob
lem, and Is convinced that the river
can be made navigable' for seagoing
craft for miles above Harrisburg at
cost that would not be prohibitive.
The idea, of course, is to have the
government, assisted by the Com
monwealth, perhaps, do the work,
while interest in the project is to be
aroused by series OF such meetings
as will be held this evening.
Major Gray has put his findings
into concrete form, which will be
given TO the Telegraph for publica-
ton following his speech tonight,
He will be followed by Chairman
Zentmyer of the state water supply
commission, who also has made a
careful study of the river problem.
A preliminary conference with Of
flcials of the state government was
held in the Senate Library at noon
