London, March 4-The statement
of the captain of the Collier Thordis
which arrived at Weymouth two davs
ago, that his vessel had rammed and
destroyed a German submarine off
Beachy Head appears to have been
substantiated. The captain and crew of
the Thordis probably will receive in
consequence rewards amounting to
$500, which had been offered bv
various agencies to the first mer-
chairman which sank a submarine
The ThOrdis went into dry dock at
Plymouth today. 1t was then learned
one of her propeller blades had been
torn off and her keel was damaged
badly, indicating the force with which
the craft struck the subma rine.

OLD AND new WAY
TO TREAT CATARRH
Breathing Germ-Killing Air Endorsed
by Actual Results.

The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought a wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
OF this disease were drugs, sprays,
lotions, etc. In some instances they
benefited, but the Improvement was
not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages Of your throat and head q
balsamic air that goes into the minu-
test cells, and should effectually kill
all germs and microbes Of catarrh
It's purpose is to enter the blood with
the oxygen, killing the germs IN the
blood, and restore health to The whole
system. Many astonishing testimoni-
ais have been received from those
who have been helped by Hyomei.
A complete outfit is inexpensive
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient HyOmei for several weeks
treatment.
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that F. D. Pierce has SO much faith in
Hyomei that he sells every package
under positive guarantee to refund
the money if it does not relieve.
Sold and guaranteed in Orleans by

URGE SUSPENSION OF SEAMEN'S ACT BY
 PRESIDENT WILSON
National Foreign Trade Council Makes Public Rec concentrations Wants
 Shipping Board

New York, September 26-Suspension by President Wilson, under authority to be granted by Congress- of the seamens act, in whole or part until a government shipping board of five members can be organized and recommend measures nec- essary to maintain American shipping on a competitive basis with other nations Is advocated by the National Foreign Trade council in report adopted re- gently. and made public today
 Problems relating to American ship ping under the seamen's act were given long study on behalf of the council by committee composed of Js -1es A. Far rell. president of the United States Steel corporations P. A. s. Franklin, vice pres ident of the International Mercantile Marine company, and s.upt. Robert Dol lar of San Francisco. The committees s report was adopted by the council
 The requirement that 75 per cent of the crews of vessels calling at American ports must be able to understand any order given by the officers is said by the report to place American ships at enormous disadvantage as compared with Japanese vessels, whose crews are the only low priced labor understanding the language of their officers
 Tt is not strange" the report contin- ues, that American capital has displayed little inclination to embark wpon ship- ping ventures. which the government promised immediately to oppose with un- economic competition. This alone was sufficient deterrent. but in the midst of the agitation another unfavorable policy was introduced by the enactment of the seamen's law which in It's ? srent shape places virtually upon American ships alone in foreign trade burdens in ex- cess to those found in the maritime legs islation of any nation with which Amer ican ships are expected to compete
 Among its recommendation the coun- ell submits the following;
