: The task has already resulted in a
casualty toll of four vessels damaged,
one officer killed and others wound
ed. The U. s. S. ~Bobolink, the first
victim, had her stern blown in by an
exploding mine. Lieutenant Bruce
was killed. Several other officers and
men, knocked overheard, were res

that it. would be one Of the most
thrilling jobs yet And no one has
been disappointed. Equipped with

OF course, the particular mine in

Harrisburg Yank in
Germany Believes He
Will Soon Come Home

Ellsmere Fenstermacher. son of
Chrales Fenstermacher, 122 Chestnut
street, writes home that he has every
reason to believe that he will sonn
be on his way to the United States.
He says: 'I am now in the bird Army
which was formerly the First Corps
of the First Army with some other
units added to it." He has partici-
pated in the greater number of the
American offensives, he writes.
Speaking of Germany, he says: II
have been in Germany for anu num-
ber of days and cannot say that l do
not like the country, because I do.
1t is practically the same in every
respect as our own, and the people
treat US with the utmost courtesy
and respect. largely. think, because
they realize that if they didn't, they
would receive the same treatment
that they dealt Belgium and France"
Continuing, he writes: 1--WE are
stationed at a large Zeppelin hangar,
nera town (Trier, Germany, ard it
is one of the finest pieces of work
1 have ever seen. The doors are some-
thing like 110 feet high and Erade of

which the Germans surrendered on
their retreat. The Germans are very
glad that the end has at last come,

Since he has been at Tricr, he
marched with his unit for two days
along the Moselle river and has just
arrived at Coblenz. being stationed
at Fort Alexander. near that city.
This post is capable of quartering

CITY TEACHERS
TOBACK WAGE
INCREASE BILL
Committee Advances ITS Rea-
sons For Endorsing
Measure

Definite plans for the backing of
the bill for increased salaries for
teachers by the Joint committee rep
resenting the Harrisburg School
Board and teachers were made at
meeting this week. The report
of the committee, giving the rea-
sons for the action. is as follows:
At a meeting this week of the
joint committee representing the
Harrisburg School Board and the
Harrisburg teachers, definite plans
were made to further in every way
possible the passage of the bill for
an increase of teachers salaries.
According to official United States
government figures, the cost OF Nv
ing has advanced 80 per cent, and
inasmuch for every 800 paid
man teacher six years ago, he now
gets S1OS, and a woman teacher
$106, while they have to pay ap-
proximately $50 moro to suosist. IL
can readily be seen that something
must be done speedily IL teachers
are to stay in the profession.
employees have received substantial
increases, while the Pennsylvania
teacher has advanced less than wv
a year.
While Pennsylvania is the second
richest state in the Union, ~ states
pay higher salaries to their teach-
ers. These men and women are
supposed to train the future cru
zens of Pennsylvania, hence tne
highest type of manhood ana W.
manhood should be employed. ~
do this certainly living wage must
be paid. The laborer ought 10 De
worthy of his hire.
There is only one way 10 Keep
this type in the profession. The
wages must be high enough to keep
them from entering better paying
positions. Already, the situation is
critical, hundreds having left tne
profession in the past year 10 ac-
cept more lucrative positions.
The state must do for its teacners
what every corporation in the Uni
ted States has been compelled 10
do, namely raise the wages OF those
whom it employs.
The time has come in the history
of this great Commonwealth or ours
when either higher wages must in
keep there. the efficient man or wom-
amor else the schools will deteriorate.
If the schools deteriorate on account
of the lack Of efficiency on the
mart of its teachers, then likewise
the coming citizenship of our great
state will deteriorate. The greatest
work of the public school is TO tram
the boy and girl to be intelligent fu-
ture citizens.
The appropriation asked for can
only be used for increasing salaries
and can be so handled by each local
board that the teachers drawing the
lower salaries oNn receive higher
rate of increase than the higher
saIaried teacher. This certainly
must appeal to the intelligent
thinker.
In view of the above facts the
can not see how the great
law-making body of our state can
close their eyes to the Importance
of some action being taken quickly
to remedy the conditions now ex-
iSting.

A young woman tells me:

Icelander. He is of subarctic descent,
born In Manitoba. His name does not
appear in the exploration records of
any who's Who" published in Can
ada. He is known to most people as
the man who discovered the blond
lEskimos. But this was the least
achievement. says the Canadian Cou-
rier. What Stefansson and Captain
Bernler, Canadians. have done most
of all is to demonstrate that Canada
has an independent original claim to
the fruits of exploration in her own
share of the arctic. Canada has the
worlds record for arctic coast line.
Russia and Scandinavia have all that
Canada has not. Canada's right of
eminent domain in the arctic is
marked by the British flag; and II his
advice is followed by the government
trade may follow the flag, even in the
arctic. When we come to commercial
