" OX BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPECIAL, Harrisburg. Pa., Oct. 11.
President Wilson, en route to Indian
apolis tonight, announced the appoint
ment of members of the advisory com
mission to be associated with the coun
cil of National defense created by
Congress at the last session. At the
same time he issued a statement saying-
he hoped the council will "become
a rallying point for civic bodies working-
for the National defense."
The seven members of the new ad
visory commission named by the Presi
dent tonight are Daniel Willard, presi
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad;
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor: Dr.
Franklin H. Martin, of Chicago; Howard
E. Coffin, of Detroit: Bernard Baruch.
of New York; Dr. Hollis Godfrey, of
Philadelphia, and Julius Rosenwald, of
Chicago. '
Whole Mechanism Considered.
1 The President's statement follows:
"The council of National defense has
been created because the Congress has
realized that the country is best pre
pared for war when thoroughly pre
pared for peace. From an economio
point of view there is now very little
difference between the machinery re
quired for commercial efficiency and
that required for military purposes. In
both cases the whole, industrial mech
anism must be organized in the most
effective way. Uponthls conception of
the National welfare, the council is
organized, in the words of the act, for
the creation of relations which will
render possible in time of need the
immediate concentration and utiliza
tion of the resources of the Nation.'
The organization of the council like
wise opens up a new and direct chan
nel of communication and co-operation
between business and scientific men
and all departments of the Government,
and it is hoped that it will, in addi
tion, become a rallying point for civic
bodies working; for the National de
fense. "The council's chief functions are:
"1. The co-ordination of all forms of
transportation and the development of
means of transportation to meet the
military, industrial and commercial
needs of the Nation.
Information to Be Assembled.
"2. The extension of the industrial
mobilization work of the committee on
industrial preparedness of the naval
consulting board. Complete informa
tion as to our present manufacturing
and producing facilities adaptable to
many-sided uses of modern warfare
will be procured, analyzed and made
use of.
"One of the objects of the council
will be to inform American manufac
turers as to the part they can and must
play in National emergency. It is em
powered to maintain an auxiliary or
ganization composed of men capable of
mobilizing to the utmost the resources
of the country.
"The personnel of the council's ad
visory members, appointed without re
gard to party, marks the entrance of
nonpartisan engineers and professional
men into American Governmental af
fairs on a wider scale than ever before.
It is responsive to the increased de
mand for and need of business organ
izations in public matters and for the
presence there of the best specialists in
their respective fields. In the present
instance the time of some of the mem
bers of the advisory board could not
be purchased. They serve the Gov
ernment without remuneration, effl
'riency being their sole object and
Americanism their only motive."

Wednesday' War Moves
rpIIE Italians have again taken the
X. offensive against the Austrlans in
their endeavor to reach Trieete, Aus
tria's chief port on the Adriatic, and
at several points south and southeast
of Gorizia have made good progress
and in addition taken nearly 6000 pris
oners. South of Gorizia the Austrian line
was broken between Lobar and Ver
tobia, according to Rome, and on the
Carso front entrenchments between the
Vipacco River and Hill 208 were cap
tured. Here the town of NovaviUa and
a strong position around the northern
part of the hill fell into the Viands of
the attackers. Trenches in the Tren
tino region also have been won by the
Italians and 630 Austrlans made pris
oner. In Transylvania the forces of the
Teutons are continuing their drive of
the Roumanians along almost all of
the front. Bavarian troops which cap
tured the Rothernthurm Pass now have
crossed the border into Roumania. According-
to Bucharest, which admits
the retirement of the Roumanians
around Kronstadt, fierce Teutonic at
tacks were repulsed south of Hermann
stadt with heavy casualties to the at
tackers. Berlin concedes the capture by the
French of a German salient near Ver
mandovillers in France and also by the
British of first-line trenches near
Sailly, north of the Somme. Counter
attacks by Germans on positions of the
French in the Chaulnes Wood have
been repulsed.
In Greek Macedonia the British have
made a further advance, occupying
Papalova and Phorenik, while the
French have taken trenches on the
heights west of Devedjili.
Fierce fighting is going on between
Bulgarians and the Serbs on the front
below Monastlr. Berlin eays that along
the Cerna River and west of the Var
dar entente allied attacks were re
pulsed. Advices from Athens are to the ef
fect that the commander of the Anglo
French fleet has demanded that the
Greek fleet, except three vessels, be
turnd over to the entente allies and
that the forts on the seacoast be dis
mantled and two other forts which
command the mooring of the allied
fleet be turned over to the Admiral.
The advices say the ultimatum will be
complied with.
. The British Official Press Bureau
announces the German losses during
the war up to the end of September as:
Dead, 870.182; prisoners and missing,

13th, when if there's anything in
superstition and hoodoos, it is due to

Friday, the 13th, is a day on the
calendar full of dark misgivings. It
is comparatively rare but none the
less mentally compelling when it
comes around especially since a few
years ago Thomas W. Lawson put it
on the map of popular fancy.
There are, however, some intrepid
souls who view the day with ecstacy,
any fly in the face of superstition, and
of these President Wilson is one. In
August last year one Friday fell on
the 13th. but in 1917 in April and
July the hoodoo dates and the hoodoo
day synchronize.

POLICY ON U-BOATS
YET UNDETERMINED
Issue to Be Decided Is Wheth
er Safety of Passengers
Was Assured.
COMPLETE INQUIRY ORDER
Secretary Lansing Says Final De
cision as to America's Atti
tude Hcsts With President.
Embassies Remain Silent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. The policy
of the United States regarding the re
cent U-boat raid off the New England
coast will not be determined until much
more complete information as to all the
facts has been received. This was an
nounced by Secretary Lansing tonight
after his return from his conference on
the subject with President Wilson at
Shadow Lawn.
Although the Secretary declined to
elaborate on his statement, other offi
cials indicated that much would depend
on Rear-Admiral Knight's forthcoming
report on all the phases of the raid,
particularly the steps taken to insure
the safety of passengers. There was
every evidence that Secretary Lansing
had gone to see the President more to
discuss possible eventualities and to
prepare against them than with the
idea of making a definite decision.
Final DecUioa With President.
The Secretary was emphatic in de
claring that the Government's attitude
would remain, undetermined until a
complete investigation had been made,
but it would not indicate what impres
sions he had gained from the President,
with whom final decision rests.
Officials here expect that the report
from Rear-Admiral Knight will be
ready for consideration within a few
days. It is emphasized that the Gov
ernment is making every effort to com
plete its inquiry as soon as possible,
but that it wants to avoid a hasty or
il-advised decision in so important a
matter.
Whether the German commander
took proper care for the safety of the
persons he put into small boats from
the attacked vessels is a question in
volving points on which officials be
lieve there is no clear precedent, and
on which a decision by the United
States might approximate a precedent,
at least so far as concerns any further
submarine operations Germany may
contemplate on this side of the At
lantic.
Board's Findings Not Bin dine
Before any policy is determined
upon, it is expected that the opinion
of the Neutrality Board, created at the
beginning of the war to advise the
States Department in regard to such
questions, will be consulted. The board
was- called into session -immediately
after the U-boaf appeared on this side
of tho Atlantic, and several meetings
have been held since. Any decision it
renders will be submitted to Secretary
Lansing- but will not be binding.
Considerable interest centers on the
continued silence of the- allied em
bassies. Again today it was stated
positively at the State Department
that no representations of any sort
had been received from the allies as a
result of the U-53's depredations off
the American coast.
Evidence is accumulating to indicate
that in case the actual operations of
submarines in the Western Atlantic
is euided by the principles of inter
national law their presence off the
coast will not be considered offensive.
as was the case with the allied crul
sers which the United States asked to
have withdrawn earlier in the war.
Officials pointed out today that the
allied vessels were only a few miles
off land while the U-boat operations
were at least E0 miles off the nearest
land and 70 miles from the mainland
Neutrality Patrol Not Needed.
Neither has there arisen any case of
the Germans pursuing vessels straight
down the coast as did one of the Brit
ish cruisers, or operating so close to
American territorial waters as to re
quire a neutrality patrol. It is real
ized, however, that should a practical
blockade of American ports develop
the Government would consider It has
grounds for action.
The character and rights of American
cargo on board the ships already sunk
also is a subject that is being consid
ered by the State Department. If it
is decided that the ships were sunk
legally, there is considerable doubt as
to how far American shippers can go
in pressing damages from Germany. If
the ships were sunk illegally, bills for
indemnity can be entered.
Naval experts are perplexed over the
absolute silence surrounding the U-53
since her immense foray off Nantucket.
Teat Cruise Theory Held.
Many of the officers now believe she
was sent over on an experimental
cruise, to try out her cruising capaci
ties, to test her powers of destruction
here and to develop the attitude of the
United States In a diplomatic sense.
Having achieved all these objects, they
believe she now is well on her way
home again to report and replenish.
Another theory is that possibly she
has fallen victim to one of the many
armed liners that would have crossed
her path off Nantucket. The allies
usually do not make public the destruc
tion of submarines in this way. The
theory that the submarine has gone
south to a base in the West Indies or
the Carribean Sea, Is not generally held
here.
ITALIAN BAZAAR ATTRACTS

NEW YORK. Oct. 11. Although there
was no news today to Indicate that the
German submarine U-53 was still lurk
ing in the Atlantic sea lanes and while
some shipping interests believed she
was headed for Heligoland there was
evidence that the British Admiralty
will proceed with caution in allowing
British shps to depart from Atlantic
Coast ports. Two Urltlsh vessels due
to sail today did not leave and it was
reported that others which have
cleared, both French and British, will
not sail at present.
Shipping circles heard today that Ad
miral Montague Browning, in com
mand of the British fleet at Halifax,
had issued orders detaining the Brit

ports until such a time as it was
deemed safe for them to depart.

In a reduction today in marine insur
ance rates from the high mark struck
Monday. Rates were quoted at 24 per
cent, a drop of E0 per cent from the
general quotations earlier in the week.
There was a strong tendency In naval
circles today to believe that the U-63
is headed for ier base at .Heligoland.
This belief is founded on the knowledge
that the cruising radius of the U-53
class boats does not exceed 7000 miles,
or Just sufficient to permit making a
voyage out from Heligoland via the
North of Scotland to Newport and re
turn. It v considered possible that
sufficient extra fuel was carried to per

A Missouri Lady Tells
What S.S.S. Did
Mrs. Henry Waye, R. F. D. No. 1, Wentzville,-Mo., is now
entirely cured of Catarrh through the use of S. S. S. On April
9th, 1916, she wrote :
"I am glad to say I have never needed to take any more
medicine, as I have never had any return of the Catarrh.
Thanks to S. S. S. I highly recommend it."
Mrs. Waye was a sufferer from Catarrh until she began taking
S. S. S. and was not only cured of Catarrh, but her blood was so
strengthened and her system so built up that she has not had to
take medicine of any kind since.
If you suffer from Catarrh or other blood disorder you would
do well -to consider this lady's case before adopting any other
treatment. S. S. S. will dp for you what it did for her. This is
the most treacherous season of the year, with sudden and fre
quent changes in the weather bringing on epidemics of Grippe,
Colds and Catarrh. Unless the system is well cared for and the
blood kept pure, serious results may come. The mucous mem
brances in the nose and throat, discharging and showing surface
signs of Catarrh are warnings all are familiar with and should
promptly heed. "Safety first" Take S. S. S. now and quickly
feel the improvement in your condition.
Bear in mind that S. S. S. has been the National Blood purifier
for fifty years, and there are many imitators, so be sure when
you ask a druggist for S. S. S. that you get S. S. S. When a
dealer tries to shift something "just as good" on you he is after
more profit and not considering your welfare. S. S. S. is guar
anteed purely vegetable and no other medicine will get the same
results.
- Write for special booklet on Catarrh it's free. Our Medical
Staff a department maintained for users of S. S. S. will gladly
advise you about proper treatment of any blood" disease.' Write
them for advice. No charge. Address Swift Specific Co., Dept. 4,

In the event that the U-E3 has not
been able to replenish her fuel tanks,
the view was expressed that the logi
cal course for her to take would be to
follow the line of the Gulf Stream to
the "corner," as it Is known to navi
gators. The "corner" is tho turning
golnt in the North Atlantic where traf
fic between the United Kingdom and
the United States either heads up for
the English Channel or shapes away for

and from the "corner" to Heligoland

A Glass of Salts Is Harmless Way

If you must have your meat every
day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become sluggish,
and weaken, then you suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizsinees, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatio twinges. The urine
grets cloudy, full of sediment, Ue chan
nels often get sore and irritated, oblig
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here:
take a tablespoonf ul in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia. and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine, so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder weakness.
