Arrival at Newport. , NO SUPPLIES ASKED FOR Captain Rose Refuses to Di vulge Destination of Out ward Journey. ' NEWPORT, R. I., Oct. 7. Seven teen dars from Wilhelmshafen, the imperial German submarine U-53 dropped anchor in Newport harbor today. Almost before the officers of the American fleet of -warships through which the stranger had nosed her way had recovered from their astonish ment, the undersea fighter had de livered a message for the German Ambassador and, weighing anchor, turned toward Brenton's Reef light ship and disappeared beneath the waves just inside the three-mile limit. Vessel Ready for Fight. As she came and went she flew the black and white colors of the Ger man navy, a gun was mounted on the forward deck and another aft, while eight torpedoes plainly were visible under th& forward deck, giving mute assurance that the warship was ready for a fight at the drop of the hat. Lieutenant Captain Hans Rose, who hung up a new world's record in "bringing an armed submarine in bat tle array across the Atlantic, said that he had called at Newport simply to mail a letter to Count von Bern storff. He requested neither provi sions nor fuel and would be on his way, he said, long before the 24 hours during which a belligerent ship may remain within a neutral harbor had expired. . '. Visit Lasts Three Hours. The submarine was in American waters a little more than three hours, assuming that she continued to sea after submerging. Within that time the German commander paid official visits to Rear-Admiral Austin M. Knight, commandant of the second naval district, and Rear-Admiral Cleaves, commander of the destroyer force of the Atlantic fleet, who was on board the flagship, the scout cruis er Birmingham.. Both American of ficers returned the brief calls promptly.

CRITICAL JUNCTURE IS SEEN Band Plays "He Kept Us Out of War" During Parade. CRITICISMS ARE RESENTED Executive Says Every I-iine of Na tional Policy Is Assailed, but No New Line of Action Has Been Presented. LONG lRANCH, N. J.. Oct- 7. Re turning from the Middle West, Presi dent Wilson today appealed to inde pendent voters to' support the Demo cratic party in November on the ground that it presents a united front for the passage of progressive legislation. Criticising the "old guard" of the Republican party, the President, by in ference, attacked both Charles E. Hughes and Theodore Roosevelt and declared that,' while every line of his National policy has been assailed, "no diagrams have been drawn of any other." "Old Guard" Aaaailed. Mr. Wilson charged that the "old guard" was in control of the last Re publican convention. The President spoke to a delegation of Progressives, independents and col lege men, who marched to Shadow Lawn with a band playing while they sang a song with the refrain: "He's Kept Va Out of War." Mr. Wilson was introduced by Pro fessor Irwing fisher, of Yale, a mem ber of the Roosevelt conservation com mission, and Hugh Gordon Miller, a New Tork Progressive. In the dele gation also was the "Wilson guard," made up of former football stars. Critic Are C'ritirUed. President Wilson's speech here today was in part as follows: "We are indeed at a critical juncture in the affairs of the world and the af fairs of the world touch, America very nearly. She does not stand apart. Her people are made up out of the peoples of the world. Her sympathies are as broad as the extended stocks of na tional governments. There is nothing human that does not concern her. And in the midst of this situation we are about to determine whether we shall change the line of our National policy. "Every line of that National policy has been assailed, but no diagrams have been drawn of any other; every one of the lines handsomely projected in the last three and a half years has been questioned and condemned. Democrats Said to Be Unit. "Fortunately, the lines of this cam paign have recently been becoming very clear indeed. The choice is a very definite one which does not require any subtle analysis for its determination. On the one hand there is a party which is united, made up of congenial ele ments and which has determined its di rection by its performances and not by its promises. You know what the Democratic party has accomplished. You know that it neither can turn back nor desires to turn back. "Some very interesting things have happened in the Democratic party in the last three years and a half. When I went to Washington. I went with cer tain men in my mind who had long been influential in the counsels of Congress who I was told were reactionaries, men I mean in the Democratic ranks.' And I want to say for these men that no wheel-horse- in harness ever pulled Concluded on page 11, Column 1.) E.VENTS OF THE WEEK '"""Il'l AHTHOSB TOO SYZA ICtHT- INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.
