''The cost Of operation of passenger

increased wages, and with the intro

But there has been nothing to counter

The 2-cents-a-mile law cut Illinois fares
one-third at a single stroke. The loss
has not been made up by increased travel.
This must, in the long run, impair service

MOTORCYCLE CRASH
 FATAL FOR TWO MEN
Third in Critical Condition as Result of Head-on Collision on Milford
 Turnpike Last Night.

New Haven, Oct 13.-Two men are dead, and a third is in a critical con- dltion at a local hospital today as a result of a head-on motorcycle col iision in Milford on the turnpike, late last night, about a mile and quar- ter east of the center.
 Alexander Schuck was so badly in jured that he died soon afterwards at the hospital here. Antonio Miskavitz. 34, died today of a fractured skull. HJalma Pederson of Orange, the third man, had his leg amputated shortly after reaching the hospital and today it was said his condition was critical
 The two men killed lived in this city. Pederson was the driver of one machine and Miskavitz of the other, Schuck was riding with Miskavitz.
 The motorcycles came together with a terrific crash during a dense fog and the riders were thrown to- gether in an unconscious heap, where they were found few minutes later by automobilists. The motorcycles were smashed completely.
 1t was a coincidence that about the time the accident occurred the Mill ford Business Mems association had adopted resolutions urging the po- licing of that section of the turnpike W here the collision took place, for the purpose of preventing speeding.

FIVE YEAR NAVAL
 BUILDING PROGRAM
New Dreadnoughts, Battle Cruisers, Submarines and Other Auxiliaries
 Proposed by Daniels.


 Washington, Oct. 13.-A new Amer ican fleet of dreadnoughts, battle cruisers, submarines and other neces- sary auxiliaries is contemplated by Secretary Daniels.
 A five year naval program is pro- posed, at the end of which time from fifteen to twenty dreadnoughts and battle cruisers, nearly 100 submar- ines, abou seventy destroyers and several scout cruisers and a propor- tlonate' number of auxiliaries would be added to the present fleet. With the 70 submarines already built and building, the total undersea craft would total about ITO in five years.
 The entire program foC the first year, which would include provision for at least 5000 additional men for ships, would, it is estimated, cost ap- proximately $24S,000,0O0, or about 0,0O0,0O0 increase over last year.
 The completed program probably will be laid before President Wilson within few days by Secretary Dan- iels. They are agreed that it will be necessary to virtually double the present fleet in the next five years in order to be adequately preptS ed for defense.

BRITISH SUBMARINES
 BUSY IN BALTIC SEA
Lively Mercantile Trade Between Swe- den and Germany ParaIyzed by
 Their Activity.

Stockholm Oct. 12, cia London, Oct. 13, 4:55 a. m.-Activity of Brit ish submarines in the southern Bal tic has virtually paralyzed what hith- erto had been a lively mercantile trade between Sweden and Germany. All along the Swedish coast steamers have been stopped, and submarines Frequently have been reported in the lanes followed by bigger ships.
 Within the last twenty-four hours five vessels of considerable tonnage have been sunk. They were the Lu- lea, Germania, Nicodemia, Gutrune and one other, the name of which is not yet known. The Germania was chased ashore and shot at from the submarine E-19. When the crew re- turned after hastily leaving the steamer it was found she had been boarded by British sailors and part ly demolished by dynamite.
 There were reports tonight of more German ships being torpedoed. The ferries of the Swedish state railways from Trelleberg to Sassnitz have been replaced by reserve steamers.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR,
 THICK, NAVY, FREE
 FROM DANDRUFF
Draw a moist cloth through hair and double its beauty at
 Once.
Save your hair! Dandruff disappears and hair stops coming
 out.

Immediate ?-Yes! Certain ?-that's the joy of it. Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, aburrIant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girls after an application of Dander- inc. Also try this-m oisten a cloth with 8 little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair. taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or exces- sive oil, and in just few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. A delightful surprise awaits those whose hair has been neglected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin. Besides beautifying the hair, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and in- vfgorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair, but what will please you most will be after few weeks use, when you see new hair fine and downy at f1rst-yes-but really new hair growing all over the scalp.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, exhilarating stimulating and life pro- ducing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.
 You can surely have. pretty, charm ing, lustrous hair, and lots of it, if you will just get @ 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drg store or toilet counter and try it as directed.

BRITISH TO PUSH
 CONsCRIPTION ISSUE
Advocates to Force Question at Today's Meeting of Cabinet and
 Obtain Definite Ruling.

London, Oct. 13, 3:45 a. m.-The parliamentary correspondent of the Daily News asserts that the conscrip- tionist members of the cabinet, headed by Winston Spencer Churchill and Earl Curzon, will make a renewed att tempt at todays cabinet meeting to force the issue and obtain a definite ruling for Or against conscription.
 The conscriptionist members be- lieve, the Daily News continues, that Earl Kitchener is more inclined to their views than he was a month ago, and they also believe that if the British government should announce adoption of conscription at the pres ent Juncture, when a new war is be- ginning in the Balkans, it would have 8 striking effect on the military situa- tion.
 Several liberal members of parlia- ment are urging the government to appoint a committee to investigate the circumstances under which the Dardanelles expedition was begun and the manner in which it has been con- ducted. It is considered doubtful that the government will consent.
 The new war in the Balkans is being employed as an argument for conscription, and even the Westmin- ster Gazette, which hitherto has op- posed compulsion, warns the public today that plans designed to keep up to strength the armies at the Darda- nelles and on the Franco Belgian front may not be adequate to meet the demands of three war fronts. It states that additional men and muni- tions probably will be necessary for the Balkan enterprise and that must be no shrinking from the logical con sequences of the governments deci- sion to embark on this undertaking.
