GARBAGE CONTRACT
TAKES A BIG JUMP

Yesterdays garbage and street
cleaning bids submitted by the CON
tractors firms of Stehle, McGuckian,
and Combs, indicated to the City
Fathers rather startlingly the short
age of labor and the to-be-expected
further jump in municipal expenses
due to war time conditions. The bids
ranged in the neighborhood of $4400
higher than those for the same work
last year. This, it was pointed out by
Mayor Strange, would bring the garb-
age and street cleaning expenses to a
point where it would require approx
mately . cents being added TO the tax
rate. IL was for this reason that the
Mayor declined TO award the contract
and determined TO re-advertise for
further bids

SWARTHMORE TO

Navy's sporting calendar tomorrow
carries the usual mid-week single
event. This will be a baseball game
with the nine from Swarthmore. Fhe
visitors have been playing a strong
game, but the Sailors have been put
ting up such erratic performances that
betting is not very strong. One en-
couraging development of the past
week with the local team was the
pitching ability shown by Baker in
the game against Georgetown on Sat
urday. The new moundman showed
not only some speed, but seemed IN
likely to sgo up in the air.

American Score Clean Hit on Submarine and End
 Battle.

Washington, May "A fight be- tween the American steamer Tidewa- ter, and a German submarine on March IT, in which the submarine was defeated and perhaps sunk, was reported today by the navy depart ment.
 The navy departments announce ment reads:
 "The commander of the armed guard on the steamship Tidewater re- ports to the navy department that on March IT about 11:30 p. m. subma- rine was sighted off the starboard bow, heading toward the vessel, about 15O yards off. As the ship turned it missed the submarine not more than 20 feet. The 'u-boat was then submergng. The ships guns were brought to bear and the first shot hit some distance ahead of her wake,
 "The pointer fired the second shot and had what the captain, the chief engineer and myself and other mem bers of the crew called clean hit and were satisfied that it was effective. The third shot was fired by the boat swain's mate in charge of the after guns crew having her spotted and firing in the position she last sub- merged in. We resumed our course and commenced zigzagging, standing by for an attack but the submarine did not appear again. We made all preparations for an attack at day break but there were no signs of submarine"
