strength OF the movement, and after
a wholesale series of arrests and con-
victions, one local playhouse was

YANKEE CHIP IN THE SHOULDERS OF THE SEA
Nonsinkable Ship Lucia Will Defy the U-BOats - Sails Without Convoy from New York Next Week.

Washington, March 4.-The non snkable ship Lucia, loaded and ready to take her chances without convoy against the German submarines, is expected in official circles tonight to leave the port of New York this week.
 Her maiden trip, as challenge of American ingenuity to German ruth lessness, now waits only the formal report of the naval commission ap- pointed by Secretary Daniels, which leaves Washington tomorrow night for New York to make an inspection of the vessel Tuesday morning.
 No drastic tests of the Lucia will be made by this naval board, headed bby Rear Admiral A. ?. Winterhalter. The navy will make merely it's own inspection of the buoying apparatus, a multiplicity of air-tight boxes Then the vessel, according to shipping board officials tonight, will go out on the seas to brave the U-boats.
 She will go, not as other vessels quit port, slipping away under close censorship, but openly, defantly, her aided as Yankee chip on the should CTS of the sea, seeking the most haz- ardous test of her contempt for the underwater wolves in their own hunt ing grounds.
 The Lucia was to have made this test a few weeks ago, but Secretary Daniels intervened with the appoint ment of his own inspection board to report on the nonsinkable contrivance installed by the ship protection com mittee of the shipping board.
 This contrivance, consisting of the air and water tight boxes or cells, to give pre-calculated buoyancy, whether the ship be pierced by one or more torpedoes, is the invention of William F. Donnelly, marine engi- neer of New York City.
 The Lucia is vessel of 5000 tons and was seized from Austria at New Orleans, where she had been informed.

THE CIGARETTE-TOBACCO

There is nothing necessary in the use of the cigarette or tobacco. They satisfy no normal appetite. Their use has to be cultivated. Boys smoke because men do, and no man wants his boy to smoke. He is prouder of him if he does not. I venture this assertion.
 We hear much about war these days, and the kaiser says he has been impressed with certain characters from a boy-Alexander the Great for instance, is one.
 Alexander led his warriors from Macedonia to Persia, without cigar cites or tobacco. Hannibal caused his troops to scale the rocky fast nesses of the Alps without the aid of tobacco.
 Rome extended her authority over the then known world until her eagles claimed respect from the Pillars of Hercules to the Euphrates, from the British Isles to the Sahara Desert, and neither the cigarette nor tobacco in any other form ever appeared at the banquets of her victorious CO., horts Christopher Columbus braved the dangers of the unknown seas without this narcotic.
 We got it from the North Ameri- can Indians in their aboriginal con- dition. King James 1st of England sent strong appeal to his subjects to let the weed alone He said: "Now, my good countrymen, let us, I pray you, consider what honor or policy can move us to initiate the barbarous and beastly manners of the wild, goddess and slavish Indians, especially in so wild and filthy a custom. Shall we, say, that have been so long civil and wealthy in peace, famous and invincible in war, fortunate in both-shall we, l say with blushing, abase ourselves so far as to initiate these beastly ln- dians 2"

RUSSIANS DESTROY
 BRIDGES IN SIBERIA
May Be Effort to Prevent Ex. pected Advance of Japs- May Prevent Ambassador Francis Reaching Pacific.

Washington, March 1.-The Rus sians have begun destroying bridges on the trans-Siberian Railroad be- tween Lake Baikal and the Chinese frontier. John r. Stevens, chairman of the American railway mission, reported this today to the State De- partment. This may prevent Am bassador Francis from reaching Vlad ivostok.
 While without details, officials here believe the Russians are destroying the bridges to prevent an expected advance of Japanese troops. A large number of other structures have been mined, Mir. Stevens also reported, so they could be readily destroyed.
 Mir. Stevens, who sent his dispatch es from Yokohama, and therefore un- doubtedly from Japanese intelligence sources, said it was reported the bridges already destroyed were near Chita, east of Lake Baikal.
 Officials do not believe the destruc- tion of the railroads is in any way part of a plan to prevent Ambassa- dor Francis and the other diplomats from leaving Russia, if they choose to do so.
 At the State Department today it was said no decision had been reach ed as to the aprt the United States would take in Japan's plan for inter- vention in Siberia to prevent the rail road and immense quantities of war supplies from falling into the hands of the Germans.
 The only other explanation for de- stroying the railroads which officials here can think of is the fact that there is German prison camp neal Chita and that Germans may have blown up the bridges with the dou- ble purpose of stopping movements of Japanese troops or intercepting Ambassador Francis.

SWEDEN WILL OPPOSE
 GERMANY IN FINLAND
Aland Islands Off Finnish Coast Seized by TeutOns-Germany Says She is Occupying COun- try to Restore Order.

Washington, March 4.-Germany's occupation of the Aland Islands is only a preliminary to the total occu- patton of Finland. Official dispatches to the Swedish legation today say Germany has announced her inten- tion to occupy Finland to the Stock holm foreign office and that Sweden has protested.
 Germany advised Sweden, the dis patches say, that it was necessary to temporarily occupy Finland to re- store order, but gave assurances that she had no intention to take perma- nent possession against the Aland Islands being placed in the war zone.
 The occupation of the Aland Is lands, the dispatches say, is to make them base for supplying the Ger man occupation of Finland.
 There are 800 Swedish troops on the islands for police purposes. Their commander was notified by the Ger man commander of his intentions, and while so far there has been no clash reported, the Swedish troops have not been withdrawn and the feeling is described here as being very tense.

HUNS FLEEING
BEFORE OUR MEN
in GREAT BATTLE

The Philadelphia News Bureau
ing from Paris:
Dispatches from correspondents
with the armies in the field say that
in the F'ranco-American offensive
enormous number of prisoners have
been taken.
The greatest for of Americans
which has yet participated in a single
engagement is advancing with the
French in this offensive, launched at
4.3O o'clock this morning.
Eighteen cannon were captured
by the French and Americans at
Courchamps.
--latest reports say the advance
continues everywhere.
The American commander at
Givray, reporting the capture of the
town to hearquarters, sent the fol-
lowing message:
Met Boche on his line of resist
ance. Sharp fighting. Boche turned
tail and ran like hell, pursued by
our troops. Hope have more pris-
oners'
AT headquarters messages were
coming in from everywhere asking
permission to push on further.
1T was essential that the line
should be kept straight and in some
instances it was necessary to order
the troops to hold back until adjon-
ing units came up.
The surprise not only was COM
plete but the concentration for the
attack was unusually rapid.
Field guns loaded on trucks
dashed up to the lines. Horses
were carried up the same way.
American airplanes flying over
the lines fought the Boches above
while the doughboys and machine
gunners fought below.
Aerial observers dashed through
clouds and others carried back mes
sages.
Lines of trucks carrying six and
eight horses each had been hurried
up in the last twenty-four hours.

the official account revealed how
ever, the full thrilling story of the
dash against the enemy delivered
with such gallantry and as such a
complete surprise that it swept over
the first German lines apparently
without wavering ana rushed on to
objectives deep in the territory the
Germans have held for months.
Major Counter Stroke
During the day Secretary Baker,
General March and War Department
officials generally spent much time
over the maps. They read every
detail of the accounts brought in
over the wires and time after time
all other business halted while the
swiftly changing battle front was
traced out. Until late in the night,
officials were awake receiving every
report that came in.
A most promising consideration of
the counter attack, officers believe,
aside from renewed proof of the
fighting qualities of the new Ameri-
can armies, is the fact that General
Foch now has sufficient force to
unioose a major counter stroke, for
the present blow is nothing less than
tnali however lln1teQ 1tS liked OBJ
jectives for the day may have been.
The supreme commander now has
shown clearly that a definite turn
ing point has been reached where
his resources in men and munitions
are great enough for him to assume
at least an aggressive defense.
If the present Franco-American
thrust should realize all the possi-
bilitles seen in it by observers abroad
and force the Germans out of the
whole Aisne- -Marne salient, it seems
highly probable to officials here that
General Foch might feel warranted
in expanding that success through
offensive operations on .other fronts.
1t was suggested lastsnight that a
thrust from the British front on a
far wider scale than anything at
tempted theres since the great Ger
man assault began last March might
develop as a companion piece to
the Franco-American efforts. In
that case, 1t was said, it would be
clear that the tide of battle had
definitely turned and the German
drive of 1918, their greatest military
effort of the war and the campaign
on which they have counted to
nchieve victory by arms, had been
defeated

Council Refuses Request
of Camp Hill Firemen

Camp Hill, Pa, July 19.-At re-
cent meeting of Camp Hill council,
Robert f. Cahill, president of the
Camp Hill Fire Company, went be-
fore that body and asked a $25 con-
tribution for the company. The fire
company has never received any
support from the Camp Hill council
and Mr.. Cahill took the position
that it was only fair to the taxpayers
that some recognition be given the
only organized fire protection afford
ed the borough. After a heated dis
cussion the council refused to give
the company any support whatever
this year and defeated motion that
S25 be given the fire fighters.

pany has nothing but an antiquated

excuse given by the council for not
giving the company support. is lack
of funds.

Trying to Save His Face

Paris, July 1S.-The German
Crown Prince, military observers
say, now is trying to convert large
scale failure into a SNOWY minor sue
cess which will make up in the eyes
of the German public for the 100,-
600 men he has sacrificed.
His goal now apparently is
Epernay The operation includes
two parts. In the first the Germans
who crossed the Marine in the Dor
mans region are struggling to wild
en- and strengthen the bridgehead
on the south bank. In the second
the German right center. which at
the beginning of the action was along
the Dormans-R road facing
southeast, is now pivoted on Vrigny
and runs north and south along a
line through Vrigny, Goully, Mar
f1ouX and Courton and Roy woods.
AS the country in this direction is
thickly wooded and easily defended
some military commentators believe
the Germans will soon find the game
is not worth the candle.
