washington, sept. 6-lneTe 10 :"
strong possibility of the United States
changing its attitude toward what con-
,titutes arming a merchant vessel. and
IN the light Of the developments OF
submarine warfare, may hold that the
mounting of small defense guns only.
heretofore not considered arming a
ship, may be considered armament.
state department officials gave strong
indication Of this today and stated that
when the United States at the begin
ming of he war declared that passenger
ships carrying defense guns Of small
caliber would be permitted to enter
and leave American ports and would
NOT be classed as war vessels. subma-
rine warfare had not developed Its
present stage.
OFFICIALS pointed out that ~ gun.

,Onicials think . decision on this
point, involving . change in ftnsfidAnl
attitude. would have far-reaching
effect in determining the submar1ne
question.
Wilson Doubts submarine Theory.
The present position Of the United
States is to take no steps to question
iilx. xooa ffss:..h of Germany's recent as
surance unless it is shown clearly that
the sinking of the Hesperian was In
violation of them. This view was made
clear by q high official who explained
that President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing accepted assurances OF the
German government at their face value
and are reluctant to accept the view
that the Hesperian was sunk without
valid excuse. They will not believe the
shin was sunk by submarine without
more evidence.
No final conclusion on the attitude OF
fhe government on the submarine issue
VIII be announced until the Hesperian
and Arabic cases have been cleared up,
and the note on the Lusitania, pre-
pared in Berlin. shall have been re-
ceived mere.
Cause Of Sinking Still in Doubt.
Today's official dispatches still left
in doubt whether the Allan liner Hes
perian was sunk by torpedo or
mine. The state department and the
White House continued to delay any
action or decision.
Secretary Lansing said his reports
were inconclusive and failed to estab-
iish exactly how the ship was de-
stroyed.
One dispatch from Consul Frost
stated the Hesperian sunk where she
was torpedoed. Ambassador Page
cabled that the admiralty had dis
claimed the Hesperian had been used
for military purposes.
The consular OFFICERS in England will
gather statements from Americans who

c.rman Submarine Miss;no.

Berlin, via London, Sept. THE
admiralty announced today that the
German submarine U-27 sunk small
cruiser several weeks ago. The U-27
has not been heard from and probably
is lost.
The announcement follows:
according to report of one Of our
submarines, 1t met the U-27 on the
high seas. after the latter, on Aug.
10, had sunk small British cruiser OF
the old tvne west of the Hehrides rs-
lands (oif the coast OF Scotland). The
U-27 has not since returned and must
be regarded as lost" s

For Acid Stomachs
Use Magnesia

The almost universal use of
magnesia by physicians and spe-
cialists in the treatment of stom-
ach troubles, is due to the fact
that it stops food fermentation
and neutralizes the acid-the d.
rect cause of nearly all stomach
troubles. OF the many forms of
magnesia, such as oxides, citrates,,
carbonates, sulphates, etc., the
most suitable and efficient, and
the one prescribed by leading
specialists is bisurated magnesia,
teaspoonfuI of which in little
warm water Immediately after
eating will instantly neutralize
the acid, stop fermentation, and
thus ensure painless normal d.
gestion. Care should be taken to
get bisurated magnesia, as its
action is infinitely more effect
ive- 1t is also, by the way, usual
ly stocked by druggists in conven-
lent compressed tablets as well as
in the ordinary powder form.
Stomach sufferers and dyspeptics
who follow this plan and avoid
the use of pepsin. charcoal, soda
mints, drugs and medicines are
invariably. astonished to find that
the stomach, relieved of the irri-
tating acid and gas. soon regains
its normal tone, and can do its
work alone without the doubtful
aid of artificial digestants.

1T is a merciful fate that gives

Mrs. Selwin. After Mary comes

THAT is what troubles me, my
dear Mrs. Selwin. I am afraid she

Yes, she will. probably have

she will probably take herself to
