WARNS AGAINST WASTING AIR
Southern Pacific Railway Company
Cites Attention Of Employees
to a Real Expense.

"DOn't waste the air"

OF thousands Of workmen in the rail-
road shops at Los Angeles. Sacra-
mento and Oakland is being directed
10 the fact that compressed air. used
to drive many machines and tools, rep
resents a real expense. In fact, the
"high cost OF air" is giving the com
pany economists some concern.
g. w. Rear, general bridge inspec-
tor for the company, estimates that
a half.inch leak In a compassionate
tank will offset the work of a TO
horse power engine and the cost of a
horse power varies from less than a
cent to 80 cents per hour, depending
upon the size OF the plant, amount of
attendance. etc. Usually the loss Is
greater than the money cost. due to
decreased output on account of insult
ficient air supply.
The expression "free as air" has no
relevancy In the Southern Pacific

The Sailors Widow.

How many people realize the emo
nous amount of mourning caused
every time one of our ships goes down.
But few OF the heroes of the sea re-
turn disabled to live at home In peace.
II is sheer luck or w~idowhood for the
sailors wife. 1t is some comfort TO
know that several funds provide gen.
erously for the widows of the sea. es-
pecially for those with babies; and It
is touching to learn that the major
part of these funds is raised by vOlun-
tary subscriptions among the crews
who take a great pride in the knowl-
edge that their mess cuts a good
figure in the subscription lists to sail

LESS SINKABLE SHIP COMING
Hull Consists Of Two Parallel cyiIn-
dricaI Shells Joined Throughout
Length by Dlaphragms-

The French government has ON
tracted with the Foundation company,
which Is building wooden ships for the
Emergency Fleet corporation, TO turn
out for Il five cargo ''nonslnkable
ships" Of 400 tons dead weight.
The hull Of these ships, says the
New York Sun. Is 10 consist Of two
parallel cylindrical shells Joined
throughout their length by a series Of
heavily braced diaphragms. Each cyl
indrical shell Is divided not only into
watertight compartments by trans
verse bulkheads, but also is isolated
entirely from the adjoining she'll and
from the sealed space between the
two. The latter space. which has Il
watertight bottom and deck. is not
used for cargo. but is provided solely
for reserve buoyancy.
ut should not be called an uDsink-
able ship" said Mr.. Boero. 81 would
call 1t rather one OF the less sink
able ships. II Is seldom that a ship
has received than one torpedo.
II is extremely improbable that a ship
win be struck by torpedoes on both
sides. We have tested an expert
mental design thoroughly at Paris,
and have found II entirely satlsfac-
tory. The space required for the spe-
cial huh construction does not mate

can be carried. We are convinced
that the ship Will keep afloat after 1t
has been torpedoed."

pose TO make II worth much. What
God Is giving us, and will give us In
those great after-the-war days, is a
wonderful opportunity. but we shall
have TO meet that opportunity with

FUEL LSUPPLY IS

STEAM PLANT
Coal Enough Only to Last Out
the Week; More Is
Coming

The Harrisburg Light and Power
Company has coal enough only to last
to the end of the week. This was
announced to-day at the plant where
the great pile of river coal dredged
from the Susquehanna last summer
virtually is exhausted.
Early closing of the river by an
exceptionally early cold wave in De-
cember prevented the company's river
fleets from getting the usual supply.
The severity of the weather also is
said to have caused the company to
burn more coal than usual this Win
ter.
A big order for bituminous coal has
been placed, c. NJ. Kaltwasser. gem
eral manager of the company, said
to-day. He has received a promise to
have the fuel shipped here before the
small supply on hand is entirely ex-
hausted. There is no reason now. Mr..

AT VARIANCE ON

Specifications For Ash Collec-

City Council to-day postponed ap-

first reading the ordinance providing
for garbage collections; passed speci-

of ashes by contract; and authorized
Commissioner Hassler to purchase a
5000, 600 gallon electrical water pump
which is ready to be delivered at

From the attitude of the Commits
sioners to-day it was evident that the
conference on filling the appointive
places had brought no results. Some
of the members said they did not eX-
pect to meet for a few days unless il
was necessary to hold "a special bus

Rumors in councilmanic circles
about the appointive positions con-
tanned little real information. One
report that seemed to be the most
seriously considered was that City
Solicitor John Il. Fox and City Asses

appointed. 1t was also said that
there are at least dozen applicants

GERMAN CRISIS
: ON ANNEXATION
GROWS SERIOUS
Ludendorff Threatens Resig-
nation; Socialists Insist Upon
Right of Self-Government
TO BEGIN FARLEY AGAIN
Artillery Duels Heavy on
Battle Fronts in
France

The political crisis in Ger
many brought about over the
annexation policy of the gov
ernment IS most serious, accord
ing to reports from neutral cap
itals. 1t is reported that General
Won Ludendorff, as leader Of
the militarist group, threatened
the resignation of himself and
Field Marshal Won Hindcnburg
should the government con
tinue to support Foreign Secrc-
tary Won Kuehlmann's peace
plans. The German Social Dem
ocrats have adopted resolution
again declaring that the honest
recognition of the democratic
principle of the right OF self
government in occupied terri
tories only can bring a lasting
peace.
Russia Resumes Parlcy
Russia apparently will continue
peace negotiations with the central
powers at Brest-Litovsk. A Berlin
dispatch arriving in Copenhagen says
that Russia's representatives arrived
at Brest-Litovsk Monday and that
the negotiations were to be reopened
yesterday afternoon. Foreign Min
ister Trotzky accompanied the dele
ton.
Official confirmation of this re-
port is lacking, but probability is lent
to it by the fact that neither Rus
sla nor the central powers have de-
clared officially that the peace ne
gotiations have been broken off def
nitely. Germany suspended the
negotiations temporarily late last
week because it could not meet the
Russian request that the conference
be transferred to Stockholm.
In London it is felt that the CEN
tral powers will be compelled to
make full answer to Premier Lloyd
Georges statement of war aims.
which apparently has brought about
better feeling in Great Britain.
President Wilson and Premier Glenn
enceau have congratulated the Brit
ish leader on his statement. German

British Premier's words.
Artillery Drills Continue
Intense artillery duels continue
on the western front, but the Ger
mans have carried out only two
raids-one southeast of Ypres and
the other northwest of Verdun-
which were repulsed by the British
and French, respectively. The Ger
man artillery fire in the Ypres sec
tor has been very strong for some
days and the occasional raids there
may be forerunners of a determined
attack in an effort to regain possess
sion of the dominating hills in
Southeastern Flanders. Reconnoit-
ering engagements along the Piave
and lively artillery duels between
the Asiago and the Piave have oc-
cupied the troops in the Italian
front.

in the sinking by a submarine of n
British torpedo boat DESTROYER in the
