night. Preliminary reports from troops
in this district indicated that the boys
were falling woefully short in getting
members. so a strenuous effort will be
made throughout the next six days in
order to bring Philadelphia up to its
quota.
So that the general public might not
be confused with the appropriation drive
which is made every three years to
raise funds to carry on the local Scout
work, no street soliciting is being done
at ell. Instead each of the 1000 Boy
Scouts in this district is being asked tc
obtain six associate members from
among his own family circle or friends
The associate membership fee is 81
but this money is not being used in
Philadelphia. Instead it is going to
open undeveloped territory all over the
United States, so that places where for
merly the Boy Scouts were unheard OF

APPLAUDTHOMPSON
AT SCIENCE HEARING

BOSTON, Mass, Sept 14-For the
third time in the Christian Science
litigation the audience, composeS
of Christian Science practitioners
burst into applause yesterday, this
time unrebuked, when William G.
Thompson concluded his argument in
support Of the contention that his
client, John V. Dittemore, was illeg-
ally dismissed as a church director
last march.
Mr.. Thompson criticised the course
pursued by the directors not only in
dismissing Mr.. Djttemore but also in
ousting Lamont Rowlands, one Of the
trustees of the Christian Science Pub
fishing Society. He declared the
Christian Science movement Wouia
cease to make progress when 1t be-
came known that at least one OF its
recognized heads used, improper ana
obscene language.
DecIaring that his fellow directors
had dealt falsely with Mr.. Dittemore
in dismissing him, Mr.. Thompson saia
such action had been under conteme
pIation for weeks. The directors, ne
asserted, violated the demands OF
natural justice by preparing charges
against Mr.. Dfttemore without MS
knowledge and allowing him no hear
ing on them. He said that before
finally acting on the charges they
sought to use them to terrorize Mr..
Dittemore into resigning, ito save
him." as they termed it, "from the
humiliation of being dismissed" Mr.
Thompson said Mr.. Dittemore absot
Iutely refused the alternative.
Mr.. Thompson maintained that the
method of the removal of Mr.. Ditte-
more was in support of the doctrine
that the end justifies the means. he
declared that the directors had quoted
the Bible to cover up what he termed
were mean and contemplate transac-
tions, and closed with a quotation
from the writings of Mrs. Eddy de-
claring that justice might be delayed
but would eventually prevail
The hearing before Judge Dodge
will close tomorrow with the argu-
ment OF Sherman L. Whipple in be-
half Of the trustees Of the publishing
society, the plaintiffs in the case. :

BIGGEST SUBMARINE
PASSES ALL TESTS

The AL, the flrst fleet sub
marine built for the United States navy
has successfully completed her prinei-
pal trials off ProvincetoWn, Mass,
and will be delivered to the Govern
ment for active service in the near
future. This vessel was built by the
Electric Boat Company on their own
design. The contract was made prior
to the entrance of the United States
into the war. but on account OF the
need for turning out merchant YES
sells. destroyers and smaller submar-
ines her construction was delayed
The AL is the largest and fast
est American submarine. She is
about go feet long, having a surface
displacement of about 1,150 tons, as
compared with $50 tons for the "S"
class, the next largest size. In the
trials just completed the AL made
20.92 knots over the measured mile,
which is q world record for submar-
ines propelled by Diesel engines, be-
ing considerably in excess of the best
records made by European submar-
ines. This high speed enables this
type to cruise with a battle fleet
hence the designation 'ieep sub
marine.
The appearance Of the AL marks
the beginning OF the era predicted by
naval experts when large and fast
submarines would constitute an in
tegral part Of battle fleets. The
British, by the production of the X
class during the war, partly solved
the problem of the fleet" submarine.

ship which went down in a gale in
1912 with eighteen persons on board,
has been reported by the steamship
Carolina. The remains Of the old
ship, believed to have been released
by an artless caprice of nature, was

from Chicago.

guard into action, but the heavy mist
hanged over the lake prevented loca-

1t was thought that the old hulk
might be a part OF the missing Rouse

elapsed since the Christmas ship went
down it was said that no ship could
have floated about the lake during
that time without having been sight
