TWENTY GERMAN SUBMARINES ARE
 IN BRITISH PORT
rOrmaIly Surrendered at Sea and Taken Into HarbOr at Harwich-S0 More Will Sur render During Week.

rordcn. Nov. 20.-The following .,oount of the surrender of the first botcb of twenty German submarines, u,hich was accomplished this morning .t sea. is given by an eye witness of the great event. More tham eighty finer German submarines are to be bonded ove rto the allied naval con- ,and before the end of the week.
 After steaming some twenty miles across the North sea, the Harwich forces which consisted of five light euisers and twenty destroyers, were sighted. The flagship of Admiral Trywhitt, the commander, was the Iuracao. High above the squadron hung big observation balloon.
 The squadron headed by the flag ship then steamed toward the Dutch coast, followed by the Coventry, Ora rOn Danal and Centaur. Other ships followed in line with their navigation 
 lights showing The picture was a noble one as the great vessels, with the moon still shining, ploughed their way to take part in the surrender of the German U-boats.
 Soon after the British squadron started the Paravanes were dropped oyerboard These devices are shaped ike tops and divert any mines which may be encountered, for the vessels were now entering mine field
 Almost every one on board donned life belt, and just as the red sun appeared above the horizon, the first German submarine appeared in sight.
 Soon after [ o'clock twenty sub alrines were seen in line accompan- led by two German destroyers, the 1bana and the Sierra Ventana, which were to take the submarine crews pack to Germany after the transfer.
 All the submarines were on the sur face with their hatches open and their crews standing on the decks. The vessels were flying no flags whatever and their guns were trained fore and ait in accordance with the terms of surrender.

MORE COTTON
 TO 60 ABROAD
Restrictions Are Removed, EX- cept as to Shipments to Ger many and Some of the Neu- tral Countries.

Washington, Nov, 20-All restric- tions on the shipment of cotton from the United States, except to enemy countries, and to the northern Euro pean neutrals, have been removed Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, said today after a conference with officials of the War Board. Cotton is expect ed to go to Germany when that nation has complied with all the terms of the armistce, the senator said.
 Cotton in increasing quantities is already moving to the allied countries. Because of the fact that India's cotton crop this year was sufficient only for that country's needs, Senator Smith said, Japan has been anxious to get cotton from the United States. Jap ans needs are estimated at 1,000,000 bales.
 Stocks of cotton in the South now are said to exceed 500000 bales and it was because of this Southern senators and representatives at q recent con ference decided to ask the War Trade Board and other government agencies to modify the restrictions on exports. The matter also was brought to the attention of the president.
 Senators say that countries desiring to import American cotton have lndi- cated readiness to supply the ton mage necessary for it's movement over seas and now that the restrictions as to shipments to most countries have been removed they expect the move ment to increase rapidly.

fromed that great number-perhaps 50,0O0-German and Austrian soldiers who before the war were residents of Switzerland, intend to return to their homes Tn this country. The govern ment, however, has ordered the iron tier closed to troops of the central powers because of the danger of ad- mitting men infected with Bolshevism or anarchism. This restriction will prevail until a decision is reached under which some of those who desire to return may be admitted.

SEEK TO SHOW
 BREWERS ACTIVE
 AS PRO-GERMANS
Senate Committee Continues In- vestigatiOn Into Association Activities-Witnesses Admit Brewers Active in Politics.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Evidence re lating to political activities of brew CTS and their alleged efforts to boy colt firms and individuals antagonistic to the liquor business was adduced to- day before the senate committee in- vestigating brewers propaganda and the purchase of the Washington Times by Arthur Brisbane.
 Major E. Lowry Humes, who is con- ducting the inquiry for the commit tee, also undertook to show from docu ments produced by officers of the United States Brewers Association, a connection between that organization and the German American Alliance. The charter of the alliance was re voked recently by congress after senate committee had investigated it's activities.
 Major Humes put into the record lists of candidates for public office. which, he said, were to be supported by the brewers association and the alliance. and also statement which he asserted was prepared for '. J. Hexamer, of Philadelphia, former president of the alliance, at the office of the brewers association.
 
 Only two witnesses-Hugh F. Fox of New York, secretary of the brew CTS national organization, and John Gardiner of Philadelphia, former chairman of the organization commit tee, were examined today.
 Fox was questioned at length re- garding the war waged by brewers on antagonistic firms and individuals.
 FoX denied that any of the firms named had been blacklisted saying that the association's purpose merely was to give preference to those who were friends Later he told the com mttee that he would be willing to as sume that all the documents relating, to the firms which Major Humes put into the record were taken from the files of the association.
 The inquiry into political activity began when John Gardiner was called to the stand. The witness said he might have seen lists of candidates at different times from 1911 to 1914 which the brewers association en- dorsed in some states, including Iowa, Texas, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and one candidate for congress from Illinois, but he could not recall the details. He admitted that the associations or ganization committee was active in wet" and "dry" fights in several states in those years, and said that in that time he spent between $400,000 and $500,000 doing ali it legitimately could to arouse public sentiment in our favor"

School Children Show
the Way to Patriotism
by Buying Liberty Bonds

Here's another human interest
narrative of the patriotic generosity
of Harrisburg children. 1t tells of
the Woodward school, Eighteenth
and Herr streets, school with only
seven rooms, but goodness knows
patriotism does not necessarily
measure by bulk. Seven rooms house
the industrious, America-loving
youthful populace which has turned
in total of $4,70S.75 for national
help. Think this over, you who have
not even bought one Baby Bond.
AS for record, the Telegraph can
not vouch precisely, but it believes
that one room, Miss Walkers, seventh
grade, has any other schoolroom
topped in the city. Her scholars
have invested the largest amount of
any in the building and, until Ghal-
lenged, will claim the blue ribbon.
Their total up to date is $1,O57.25.
Second to this room is that of Mr..
Holmes, second and third grades.
where the pupils have bought $943
worth of government securities; and
third on the honor roll is Mr.. Hum
mer's room, eighth grade, with
$714.15.
There is no telling what Wood
ward will register, for every pupil
is saving up to purchase more be-
fore school closes. In addition to
Bonds and Thrift Stamps this school
has given to Red Cross and Y. M.
C. A. and Y. W. G. A. for war pur-
poses the sum of $139.50, which
runs up it's grand total of contribu-
tion to Uncle Sam i'm his mighty bat
tie for liberty to $4,70S.75.

they also carried munitions When
l pointed out to him that France
would hardly be sending munitions
to England, he lost interest in the
argument.
Some days before I had made up

With the idea of stealing this map,

in front of this interpreters window
one day and engaged in a very hot
argument as to whether Heidelberg
was on the Rhine or not, and we
argued back and forth so vigorously
that the German came out of his
room, map in hand, to settle it. After
the matter was entirely settled to
our satisfaction he went back into
his room and l watched where he
put the map.

were added to our party.
In the interval we were locked in
a room at hotel, guard sitting
