ITS MISSION IS NOT KNOWN
Naval Graft to Spend Niofht
Outside Harbor-—Will Not
Take on Supplies,
Is Report.
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. Hans Rose, appeared spick and
'span upon her arrival here and looked
ns if she had been ont only for maneu
vers. Her commander' reports that he
had not sighted any hostile craft on
his vovage over, adding that the boat
was plentifully supplied with provis
ions and fire! and nothing would be

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.
RUINOUS COMPETITION
AFTER WAR UNLIKELY
Bordeaux, Oct. 7.—John Barrett, di
rector general of the Pan-Americar

American trad? matters with manu

tries planning to make greater efforts
to improve commercial and financial
relations with all America.
Mr. Barrett’s inquiry showed, how
ever, lie indicated, that their desire was
to cooperate along this line with in

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.

In Burlington county, New Jersey,
the farmers who, in the erroneous be
lief that they are a pest, have been

by the non-polsonous reptiles is now
recognized to be of slight account in
comparison with the good they do.
Not only will the black snake tight and

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.
