Hi iay to Abandon Present Type For Larger Vessels. HAMPERED IN BAD WEATHER I 'IjTwsIvs of the 800 Ton Craft, Seventy "Jt of Which Are Built or Building, Un to Buffet Seas Successfully 1,000 Offshore 8 ix Hours Required Oneto Get Signal to Move. Abandonment of the present coasl defense1 type of submarine, seventy oi yhlcn have been built or are building, 'at favor of larger seagoing submersl Jet be recommended by the navy 'epsitment as a result of lessons learned taring the. recent maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet and unofficial inforniu OB concerning the size of underwatei now In service in Europe. Tbm are indications that the United tatea.

Is lagging In submarine development, even with one 1,000 ton sub lerslWe nearlng completion and twc 1,900 tons soon to be ordered. Navy facials have been impressed by the apparent probability that a submarine (if approximately 1,500 tons and nieas iirjnff 280 feet in length has been engaged In the foreign warfare against merchantmen. Little Boats In Trouble. Reports on the fleet maneuvers, it has Just become known, tell of the difficulties encountered by the twelve 4, little submarines attached to the blue force commanded by Admiral Fletcher and defending the coast against a the T'pretlcal enemy. jf The boats were at sea several days and encountered continuously rough 5v weather.

While no unexpected mechanical troubles were encountered, the personnel of the vessel suffered ex tremely from seasickness, bad air, Im proper food and the continual buffet log they received in the pitching and rolling. To Impairment of the efflclen cy of the crews by seasickness alone many minor mishaps to the boats are said to be attributed. The maneuvers included the first at tempt to employ the submarines, all of the coast defense type and none dis )laclng more than 800 tons, at nearly 1,000 miles offshore. The general scheme of defense fixes that distance at sea as the zone within which coast submarines should be able to operate In any weather. Should an enemy succeed in reaching within 100 miles or so of the coast, it is argued by some officers, he would be able to i ffiffl orce 'Wit'1 a screen of enlner eweepers, destroyers and aero planes which would render the chances of attacking his capital ships uncertain.

Far at sea, however, the screen could not be maintained. Sea Prevents Steering. For the purposes of the maneuvers Admiral Fletcher placed his submarines In reserve, ready to strike north or south as the movements of the red hostile fleet, 1,200 miles offshore, might necessitate. One of the twelve boats was unable to reach its station, as it would not steer properly In the rough weather. The other eleven, battened down tight for days at a time and with water pouring over them day and night, carried out their orders.

Later the blue commander discov ered that his red enemy was sweeping to southward. He ordered the submarines south to intercept the fleet. An indication of the troubles encountered is given in the fact that it took six hours to convey this order to one of the submerslbles. Finally the flotilla started southward, but was able to make less tbau half the speed required to bring it to its appointed station on time. Navigation was accomplished only STRIKE RIOTING Continue from page one sregat'ert in front of the home of Central Manager Wright, on South River street, an3 shoutel threats against him.

Wrisht immediately appeal or! on the steps of his home, carrying a xholKun. He called out that he would shoot down the first man n'ho set foot on his property. About that time a corps of police arrived and the crowd melted away. About nildniirht, the official press agent of the traction company issued a public statement, rehearsing the events of the and declaring the need of a "vigilance committee." This statement drew forth a contradiction immediately from Kosek. Attack Strike Breakers.

The first serious outbreak occurred on West Market street at seven o'clock, when the crowd chased Oeorse and Lewis Anderman, car dis patchers. One of the brothers dash, ed around the corner of Hotel Sterl ing and as ho did so he collided with Harry Cooper, of Edwardsville, who was turning the corner from the op. posite direction Both men wore knocked down. Cooper alleges that Anderman struck at him with a knife, whereupon he seized the weapon! and dealt his assailant a smashing blow. The crowd hemmed Anderman in and beat him up badly, before a corps of strike breakers' officers arrived and pulled the brothers into the hotel, from which they were rushed to the car barns in aw auto.

The Sterling Hotel was again a storm centre when the mob gave chase to Frank Cogtello and another sirike brenker. Costello is charged with firS nft a revolver shot and it is repr.rted that as he was about to fire again, Patrolman Harkins closed in on him and jerked the weapon from his hand. The shot enraged the crowd and they cased the men into the hotel. Two poliecmen stood guard at the entrance and beat back th3 mob as it surged to get through the doers. Reinforcements prevented serious trouble.

The hotel proprietor says it was 25 minutes from the time he 'phoned for police before the officers arrived. In' the meantime, the strike breakers were hidden in th" cellar. They were later taken in charge by the police. The other man gaVe his name as Charles Collins, of New York City. Both are charged with carrying concealed weapons.

Strike Bicaker Injured. Trouble occurred in' the Lee Park section hen a car pursued by a mob tried to make the Division street turn and jumped the tracks. Jeremiah Skelly, aged 40, mctorrr.an was Ftruck on the leg by a large rock and his leg injured so badly that he could not stand on it. Police finally drove the mob away from the car, in which the meu crouched until help arrived Skelly was also taken to the hospital. In the rintiiVg at Edwardsville during the afternoon, James Gaffney and Fred Gilbert, strike breakers, were struck fcy missiles.

George Murray, a motor man, almost had his arm broken when a brick struck him. Strikers On Parade. To demonstrate that their ranks art ur.kroken, the 330 strikers paraded the streets of Wilkesbarre on Saturday night. Mayor Kosck's Appeal. Alarmed by the outbreaks of tht ftrike sympathizers, layor John V.

Kosek last night prepared and issued a long statement in which he ar nonnces that he had ceased temporising with a dangerous situation, will not depend upon the good judgment of the people, but will take drastic measures to curb rioting and violence. His principal pronouncement is an edict forbidding people to stop on the sidewalks or congregate on the streets. He expresses his confidence that the city is able to cope with a situation that was beyond the control of the municipality yesterday.

A PLUM PUDDING GIFT. English Custom That Is Becoming Popular In America. A Christmas gift that is growing as popular here as in England is that of a plum pudding.

It may be made at home and goes to its destination daintily wrapped, though still in its mold, and tied with ribbons and holly. In Knglund about 250 tons of plum pud diugs. averaging seven pounds each, are sent out each year. According to uu old tradition, plum pudding should be at least "nine days old" before its eating. To make, put into a big bowl one cupful each of finely chopped suet, seeded raisins, cleaned currants and granulated sugar, three cupfuls of soft breadcrumbs aud one each of sbredded citron and orange peel.

Add four eggs one by one, each being mixed thoroughly with the other ingredients before the next one is added. Next to follow are half a cupful of milk, oue quarter cupful of brandy (if there is no objection to Its use), one tea spoonful of cinnamon, one teaspoonful of mixed nutmeg, clove and allspice and the grated yellow rind of one lemon. Mix thoroughly, using the hands; then fill into a large buttered mold, leaving scarcely any room for It to swell. Tie a thickly greased and floured cloth or a piece of oiled paper over the top and fit on' the cover as tight as possible. Put into a steamer or arrange some cords so that it may be suspended from the inside of the cover of the kettle in which it is boiled.

The boiling water should reach up nearly to the height of the bowl. Boil seven hours steadily, taking care that no wa ter boils into it and that the water is trailing when the pudding goes in and is never allowed to stop. On Christmas day it can be reheated in the mold In which it was made. Wbea sending to the table stick a sprig of uoily on the top, put a border of bl.ihiched split almonds around the edge aud pour over the pudding a quarter cupful of brandy or rum to be Ret on fire Just as it enters the dining room.

Dr. Philip Newton Dr. Philip Newton of Washington joined a Red Cross unit which went to Russia. The drowning of his fiancee. Miss Alice Dorothy Nixon, had so affected him that he determined to go to war to overcome his grief.

He was placed in charge of a hospital at Kiev, and there he met Princess Shahofskuya of Petrograd, who was a nurse in the hospital. Thev were marriei later, and then the American was assigned to the Russian Sixth Army Corps with the rank of general. No other American with a European army has yet attained a rank so high.

Fail to Trap "Enemy." They were fifty miles or more out of M)sltlon at the conclusion of the trip, and the red transports and convoy swept through the breach they left to land an army on American soil. While no definite recommendations have been made, the question of the value of a submarine as small as the present tjDe for coast defense work is being seriously considered.

The view has been presented, it is understood, that with larger submarines the difficulties of navigation at sea would be reduced, greater speed could be attained and the efficiency of the boats for other purposes, such as that of the maneuvers, increased proportionately. ENTOMBED SIXTY ONE HOURS. French Sappers Buried by Explosion Finally Dig Their Way to Safety. An episode of the battlefield is related in a letter from the French front concerning two sappers who were buried by the explosion of a German mine, but dug their way out after sixty one hours' work. The two men were entombed in a small space at the end of a counter mine gallery.

By means of knives' they made a vertical chimney, only to find that it Issued less than a yard from an enemy trench. Waiting until night, they dug in another direction and after twenty four hours reached the upper air. Each has been awarded a medal. CREATE BUREAU FOR SERVICE COMPLAINTS. Harrfsburg.
