Newport, R. I., Oct. 7.—The German submarine U-53, from Wilhelmshafen, arrived vi the harbor this afternoon. She crossed the ocean in 17 days. The U-53 is a man of war and flies the flag of the German navy and had a single gun on her deck. The submarine anchored in the outer harbor two miles down the bay. No one came ashore, hut a representative of the associated Press, was allowed to go aboard and learned the vessel's story. The U-53 will go outside the harbor fo> ar.chora'.jo during the night. , The U-53, in command of Lieut. V fapt.

MONEY ASKED TO AID CHRISTIAN ARMENIANS President Names October 22 as P Day For Giving—Thousands Are Suffering. The recent massacres of Armenians which caused President Wilson to pro claim October 22 as a day on which contributions for the victims should be taken in churches, were carried out •systematically, according to reports from Armenia. On a given day the streets of what ever town it might be were occupied by the local gendarmerie with fixed bayonets, and the Turkish governor summoned all able bodied men of Ar menian race that bad been exempted from military draft to present them selves now on pain of death. “Able bodied” received a liberal interpreta tion. for it included any male between 15 and 70 years of age. and these were all marched out of the town by the gendarmes. They had not far to go, for the gendarmerie had been rein forced for the purpose from the jails, and the brigands and Kurds at large . / were waiting in the hills. They were L waiting to murder the prisoners. The I first secluded valley witnessed their / wholesale massacre, and, acquitted of <L their task, the gendarmes marched back leisurely into town. Bands of women and children were driven forth from their homes in an agonizing state of apprehension. There was a heroism about their exodus, for there was still a loophole of escape, apostasy. And in their case apostasy brought the certainty of life, because it. meant their immediate entrance into J(the harem of a Turk. Rife at the price ' of honor—most of them rejected it; and yet, if they had known all that lay before them, they might have judged it the better part. As it was, they clutched at the desperate chance of immunity, and presented themselves for the march. But the jail bred gen darmes had no intention of conducting the caravan intact to its destination. Many girls were sold into shame be fore the march began.

I GERM OF PARALYSIS IDENTIFIED, BELIEF New York, Oct. 7.—A peculiar germ found in small abscesses in the tonsils and adenoids of victims of infantile paralysis has produced an infection similar to infantile paralysis when in jected into lower animals, according to Dr. C. J. Rosenow, of the Mayo foun dation at Rochester, Minn., who ad dressed a meeting of the New York Academy of Medicine. Dr. Rosenow said that experiments had been conducted on rabbits, guinea pige, monkeys, cats and dogs. Rt de clared marked improvement was shots* in cases of infantile paralysis following the removal of the tonsils and ade noids. When cultures made from the germs found in the abscessed tonsils and ade noids of patients were injected into the lower animals, Dr. Rosenow added, the paralysis developed in from 24 hours to 10 days. The time depended upon the size of the injection. Dr. Rosenow said he did not advo cate the removal of tonsils in persons afflicted with infantile paralysis as a means to recovery. The number of ex periments had been too small to prove valuable in this particular connection, he added. But what he considered of importance was the fact that now, for the first time, the disease could be treated pathologically on a much wider plane than has heretofore been pos sible.

WHITE PINE IS IN PERIL Blister Rust in the Ea»t Has Caused Heavy Ravages in Timber. The present is a gloomy hour for the forestry enthusiasts, especially in the eastern states, where so much reli ance is being pinced upon the white pine us the tree par excellence for quickly rehabilitating our shabby woodlands. Last year’s discoveries In Massachusetts of the dread blister, rust of Europe led other states to In vestigate within their borders. This active and well organized co-opera tive effort that is now being made by the federal department of agriculture and the officers of the several states where timber interests are involved indicates the seriousness with which they regard the situation. Since tliell work for the control of the diseass began in the early summer It has be come apparent that while Massachu setts’ is beyond question dangerously infected in eertuin sections, othei states, whose officers regarded theii territory us relatively free, are, in fact* no better off than we. All New Eng land is on the fever map, and even Wisconsin and Minnesota Investiga tors have lately turned up infection. Hope for tho successful control of the fungus is not forlorn, consider ing the plant pathologists who are con ducting the campaign. The greatest need of the present hour, however, is a livelier Interest on the part of our woodland owners. Putting Him Wise.
