Though the Ancona case was the
more spectacular, the naval authori-
ties were more aroused by the threat
against the transport service to the
near East which began with an at
tack on the troop ship Mercian and
cost the lives of twenty-three of the
vessels crew and the wounding of
fifty by the U-boat's fire.
Considerable criticism has resulted
from the fact that sufficient preeau-
tions were not taken to prevent the
hostile submarines from passing the

BERLIN, via Sayville wireless, Nov.
11.-Four thousand more Serbian
prisoners were taken by the Germans
today.
The capture was made south of the
western Morava river. the war office
announced.
1t is through the district referred to
that the Serbs are retreating from the
Orient railroad in an effort to reach
the Montenegrin frontier. The cap
ture of so large a number proves the
difficulty they are experiencing dodg-
ing the German attempt to surround
them. Even should they avoid the
Germans in the Morava river region
they will still be in danger of falling
into the hands of the Austrians who
are moving to the southward along
the Serbian western frontier, or of
being driven into the arms of the
Bulgarians who are pushing north

A SOUND ARGUMENT

II stands to reason that the State
y commission which made the study
i of the condition of dependents in
Pennsylvania under the terms of
the act of the last Legislature ought
to be the best informed body on such
matters at the present time. 1t had
the advantage of authority from the
General Assembly, the services of ex-
perts and the cooperation of organi-
zations and individuals which have
been considering industrial problems
at close range and which have exam
ined carefully into the causes leading
to increase in that part of the popu-
lation which must be supported
through charity. Its report is mas
terly summing up of the causes and
conditions attending dependency in
the Keystone State, with its compli-
Gated industries and diverse elements
of population.
When this commission recommends
that enactment of system OF work.
mems compensation is necessity, it's
remarks should have weight. It
points out that fair return for in
juries would lessen public burdens
and bring direct relief, the end which
should be sought by a Legislature
mindful Of its pledges. The argument
in behalf of a compensation act is
sound and should be needed.

NEURALGIC PAINS

These may be felt in any nerve of the
body but are most frequent in the
nerves of the head. Neuralgia may be
caused by a decayed tooth, eye-strain
or a diseased ear, but the most COM
mon cause is general debility accom-
panied by anemia, or thin blood.
For this reason women who work
too hard or dance too much and who
do not get sufficient rest, sleep and
fresh air. are the most frequent suf-
ferers from neuralgia and sciatica,
which is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve.
Nutrition for the nerves is the cor

only way to nourish the nerves Is
through the blood. DR.. Williams Pink

They have proved helpful in so many

VERY MUCH IN EARNEST

xF any political party in Harrisburg
recorded an attendance of 1900 at
/ mass meeting its leaders would
feel that their ticket stood very
good chance of election. Indeed, it is
only by the hardest kind of work and
the widest publicity that 1900 men
can be induced to attend any political
meeting, unless they are drawn there
by desire to hear some very distin-
guished or eloquent speaker. AS a
general rule they do not turn out in
such numbers merely for the purpose
of registering their political views or
endorsing any set of candidates.
How different it is in the present
local option campaign now being
waged. On Sunday 1900 men, all of
them voters. attended three mass
meetings in Harrisburg to urge upon
local legislators that they support the
county option measures now before
the Legislature. This means but one
thing-that the voters are very much
in earnest on this subject. They pro-
pose to make their wishes known in
no uncertain terms and legislators who
do not comply Herewith at least
cannot say thereafter that they had
not opportunity of judging the senti-
ments of their constituents.

NONPARTISAN FAILURE

A BILL is to be presented in the
N Legislature this week asking for
4 ! the repeal of the nonpartisan
provisions in the Clark third
class city act. 1t is to be hoped that
this repeater will be passed and that
the Governor will sign it. The non
partisan feature of the act has been a
failure from its very inception. What
ever may be said of the Clark law as
whole. the operation of it's nonpartisan
provisions has been farcical in the ex-
treme.
Not only has this nonpartisan fea-
ture not eliminated politics from city
government, but it has compelled par
tisan candidates to masquerade as no
man cares to do. The three Repub-
lican members of City Council, for
instance, were elected as Republicans
Everybody knew they were Repub-
licans and they were elected largely
because of that fact. Almost every
vote that has been registered since the
organization of the city government
along the lines laid down by the Clark
act has had a partisan basis. Repub-
licans have voted as a unit. So have
the Democrats.
The next election will witness tre-
mendous effort on the part of the
local Democratic machine to place
three of it's representatives in Council.
Deliberate attempts are now being
made to blacken the characters and
the regulations of the Republican
members with the idea of weakening
them as candidates for reelection. No
matter whether the nonpartisan re-
pealer is adopted or not, the next cleo
tion in Harrisburg will be fought out
along partisan lines, just as the first
one was. but it would be much better
to have it conducted in the open in.
stead of behind the fragile mask of
the Clark act provision that bars the
use of party names.

HEAVEN ON EARTH

TNHE REV. CHARLES +. TAYLOR
proposes to erect in Greenwich,
u Conn, a little corner of the
Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
The fact that two-thirds of the world
half of the remainder is wondering
whether or not it ought to get into
the melee has no terrors for the Rev.
Mr.. Taylor. He is going to start the
millennium at Greenwich-that is, if
the people of Greenwich will only elect
him Mayor.
Greenwich is the ideal community
in which to found the first corner of
the Kingdom of Heaven on earth"
says the ministerial aspirant for mu-
nicipal office. because of it's ideal sur
roundings, it's natural healthfulness
and the great amount of money upon
which 1t can draw out of every sort
of constructive reform. The Rev. Mr..
Taylor notes that Greenwich is one of
the richest places per capita in the
country. and the biblical precept that
it is easier for a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle than for a rich
man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven
appears to have no part in his celestial
program.
The Rev. Mr.. Taylor says he already
has received promises sufficient to
warrant his election. but it is very
much to be feared that he will get
awake the morning after election to
hnd out that there are more candi-
