AMERICA HOLDS OUT
FOR CREWS' SAFETY
Germany Advised Opportunity
to Escape in Lifeboats
Is Not Sufficient.
FUTURE SAFEGUARD IS AIM
In Note on Frye Case, Secretary
Lansing Expresses Satisfaction,
on Berlin's Agreement to I vet
Experts Fix Damages.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. Publication
tonight of the text of the latest note
Bent by the United States to Germany
In the case of the American ship Will
iam P. Krye, reveals that the United
States does not regard "an opportunity
to escape in a lifeboat" as sufficient
safety for passengers and crew of any
American vessel destroyed when carry
ing contraband.
In the note, which is dated October
12, Secretary Lansing' expressed satis
faction that Germany agreed to the
American proposal for a joint cotnmis
eion of experts to Ax damages for the
Joss of the r rye, sunk by the commerce
raider. Prinz Eitel Friedrich, and con
curs in the suggestion from Berlin that
it its not necessary to appoint an um
pire in advance.
No RlKhts Are Waived.
In agreeing to submit to arbitration
differences which have arisen over the
Interpretation of the Prussian-Ameri
can treaty of 1828, the United States
places on record its understanding that
no rignts are waived in the Interval.
Germany already has given assur
antes that, pending arbitration, Ameri
can ships carrying conditional contra
band will not .be molested, but since
practically every commodity of import
ance has been made absolute contra-
band, the value of the assurances is
regarded by otllclals as comparatively
email.
The American Government holds that
the treaty of 1828 does not permit the
destruction under any circumstances of
American vessels carrying contraband
of any character, and in its note insists
that while the arbitration proceedings
are in progress, more security than is
afforded in lifeboats should be given to
passengers and crews on American ves
sels which the German naval command
ers may deem it necessary to destroy
tor carriage of absolute contraband.
Future SafeKuard Is Object.
Without admitting that the declara
tion of London is in force," says the
note, "and on the understanding that
the requirement in article 50 of the
declaration that 'Before the vessel is
destroyed all persons on board must be
placed In safety," is not satisfied merely
by glvlns an opportunity to escape in
lifeboats, the Government of the United
States is willing, pending the arbitral
award in this case, to accept the dec
laration of London as the rule govern
ing the conduct of the German govern
ment in relation to the treatment of
American vessels carrying cargoes of
absolute contraband."
In the Frye case, the commander of
the Prinz Eitel Friedrich took all
aboard his vessel, then the Leelanaw,
an American vessel carrying absolute
contraband, was destroyed, the crew
taken aboard the submarine and trans
ferred later to small boats when near
uhore. No complaint has been made,
therefore, as to past treatment, but an
effort is being made to safeguard the
American lives in the future.
ENTRY ORDER IS REVOKED
Second Class Passengers Not Be
Taken to Ellis Island.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 18. Secretary
Wilson today revoked an order which
would have required all second-class
passengers on incoming steamships at
New York to go to Ellis Island with
immigrants for examination.
The order was contemplated because
the decrease of Immigration since the
war has cut down inspection forces to
a point where it was impossible to give
separate inspection to second-class pas
sengers. Steamship and other interests
objected and a committee to arrange
some other way of examination will be
appointed.
NEUTRAL VESSEL IS SUNK
Norwegian Steamer Salerno Is De

TXDNDON, Oct. 18. Lloyd's announces
that the Norwegian steamer Salerno
has been sunk and that 19 men, two
women and three children have landed
from her.
The Norwegian steamer Salerno, of
13S9 tons net. arrived at Gothenburg,
Sweden, from Buenos Aires September

covered by available shipping records.
A dispatch from London on October
IS reported the sinking of the British
steamer Salerno.
trolled the plant of the Nashua Manu
facturing Company, where one man
was probably fatally shot, one woman
bayoneted and other persons clubbed
during a strike disturbance today. Two
companies of militia from Manchester
arrived late today to help the two
local companies, which have been on
duty within the mill gates since the
strike for more pay and shorter hours
began two weeks ago.
Adam Raxavitch. who was shot by a
militia officer, according to a state
ment by the police, was in a critical
condition tonight. Alexandria Belek,
who was wounded In her right arm by
a bayonet, and six other girls who were
declared to have been clubbed, were
said to be in no danger.
The disturbance grew out of an at
tempt of the manufacturing company
to run cars on a siding which, the police
assert, was blocked by women sitting t
on the track with babies in their arms.
RAID VICTIMS ARE BITTER
RELATIVES OK DEAD IX LONDON
CHARGES KAISER WITH MURDER,
Inqoest Verdicts of "Dead aa Result of
Air Raid" Are Protested Main
Breaks Queue Fires.
LONDON.v Oct. 18. An inquest over
the bodies of the three victims of the
first bomb dropped in the Zeppelin raid
last Wednesday night on the London
area and of three others who were
killed or who died as the result of sub
sequent air bombs, all within the same
area, was held today. The verdict in
each case was "death as the result of
an air raid."
The father of one of the victims
protested against the laconic verdict
reached. He cried:
"My son was murdered 'by the order
of tho Kaiser. " 1 summon the Kaiser
to meet me before the judgment seat
of God to answer for the death of my
son and of these other poor people."
Of those killed by the first bomb,
one was a railroad employe. His wife,
who was by his side, escaped unhurt.
The second was a man who was killed
by broken glass which cut through his
neck. The third victim was a woman.
The other dead were the victims of
bomb dropped in the middle of a
wida thoroughfare. The missiles
pierced a gas main, causing a fire that
lasted several hours before the gas
could be cut off. A driver, a conductor
and a special constable were killed in
a motor 'bus which the bomb struck.
Incendiary and explosive bombs were
dropped in the same spot.. These
pierced a water main and the rush of
water quickly extinguished fire caused
by the incendiary bombs, but neverthe
less people passing: at the time were
killed or injured. A number of the
victims over whose bodies the inquest
was held, today died from shock or in
a hospital as a result of their injuries.

George Bernhard. editor of the Vos-

lished here and draws the conclusion
that Count von Bernstorff, the Ger
man Ambassador at Washington, 'also
s having difficulty in communicating
with his government because his offi
cial report on his Arabic negotiations
has not yet been made public.
Alter declaring that Dr. Dumba'i
letter "belongs to the most sensational
written revelations in this all-to-
sensatlonal war," Herr Bernhard says:
rne reports of the Ambassador
throw a new, most suspicious light on
the neutrality ' of the United States."
After lengthy speculation as to
whether Count von Bernstorffs mes
sages are being held up,- as Dr. Dumba's
are alleged to have been, the writer
declares:
"It appears to be urgently necessary
to Becure an explanation as to how
America is fulfilling toward the Ger
man Ambassador the obligations pre
scribed by international law."
Count von Reventlow devotes a col
umn in the Tages Zeitung to the Amer
ican naval programme for the coming
five years, and says:
'It is significant, that the United
States is carefully watching the pres
ent war, and notwithstanding the sub
marine successes has decided on the
construction of 16 huge battleships."

CUT THIS OUT
OLD EGL1SH RECIPE! FOR CA
TARRHAL DEAFNESS AND
HEAD NOISES.
If you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head
noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
will have been the means of savins
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. In England scientists for a
long- time past have recognized that ca
tarrh is a constitutional disease and
necessarily requires a constitutional
treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air pas
sages and force the disease Into the
middle ear which frequently means
total deafness, or else the disease is
driven. down the air passages towards
the lungs which is equally as danger
ous. The following formula which is
used extensively in the damp English
climate is a constitutional treatment
and should prove especially efficacious
to sufferers here who live under more
favorable climate conditions.
Secure from your Druggist 1 ounce
of Parmint (Double strength). Take
this home- and add to it 14 pint of
hot water and 4 ounces of granulated
sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times a dav. This
will often bring quick relief ffom dis
tressing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open, breathing become easy and
hearing Improve as the Inflammation
in the eustachian tubes is reduced.
Parmint is used in this way as it acts
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system and has a slight
tonic action that facilitates the recov
ery of the patient. The preparation is
easy to make, costs little and is pleas
ant to take. Every person who has
catarrh should give this treatment a
trial, Adv, -

was as good tonight as any others as
to how the battle would go tomorrow.
The campaign has been entirely non
partisan, and both sides declare they
are equally confident of a victory at the
polls.
- 24-Honr Meetfne Held.
In this city, on the spot where the
first settlers hoisted their standard
nearly 250 years ago. a score or more
of women campaign workers have
spoken without cessation since 6
o'clock this morning, pausing only long
enough to spell one another. Dawn
and daybreak they say will find them
still at their post, for this 24-hour
meeting is not to end till the polls
open at 6 o'clock.
Everywhere in the big cities of the
state groups of women workers are
speaking in the streets, hundreds of
them utilizing the waning hours of the
long campaign for what they believe
to be a smashing drive against their
political foes.
Far and away, the last hours of this
fight have set a new record for polit
ical activity in New Jersey. The so
called whirling finishes of bygone
campaigns within the memory of liv
ing voters have failed to equal to
night's intense activity.
Victory by 23,000 Predicted. '
. "We expect to carry New Jersey by
25.000," was the prediction of Mrs.
Ionian F. Feikert, president of
New Jersey State Association
Woman Suffrage.
"Woman suffrage will be defeated in
New Jersey by a large majority," was
the last word from Mrs. Edward Yarde
Breese, president of the New Jersey
Association Opposed to Woman Suf
frage. The polls open at 6 o'clock tomorrow
and will remain open until 9 o'clock at
night. The vote of suffrage will be
the
for
cast between 6 A. M. and 7 P. M. There
is not a voting machine in the state
and returns, it is thought, will be slow
in coming in. The task of the counters
however, will be light, compared with
their work on a general election, as
there are but three constitutional
amendments to be voted on, the suf
frage amendment and two others of
minor Importance.
