MUST TAKE NO CHANCES
Submarines Must Permit Liners TO
Escape Rather Than Take RISK
of Making Mistake

Berlin, Sept. 23-Commanders OF
German submarines have been given
strict orders, it has been learned au-
thoritatively that in case of doubt as
to the intentions of liners they are
to take the safe course and permit
the ship to escape rather 9an run
the slightest risk of error.
This order supplements the instruc-
tions as communicated to the Wash
ington government by Ambassador
Won Bernstorff September l. There
is reason to believe the new regula-
ton already is known to Washington
as it probably was embodied in the
message of instructions sent the Ger
man ambassador a few days ago.
1t is understood that the United
States already has been informed that
various officers of the submarine
which sank the Arabic agreed from
observations taken while the subna-
rine was on the surface and through
the periscope while it was submerg-
ing that the Arabic was planning an
attack. Nevertheless, officials con-
cerned may be found willing to adj
NIT that the Arabic in reality was act
ing innocently, in spite of the suspi-
cions attaching to her behavior and
changes of course. There is reason
to believe the settlement of the ques-
ton of responsibility may be reached
along these lines.

MARINES KILL SIX IN HAITI
Sharp Fighting Marks Opening OF
Railroad to Feed Hungry.

washington, Sept. 23- Details OF
fighting near Gonaives, Haltl' last
week. in which six natives were Kined
reached the Navy Department yester-
day, from Rear Admiral Capertoh.
The firing occurred when the na a
resisted a detachment OF marines
sent out to reopen the railroad be-
tween Gonaives and Emery.
The report stated that Colonel wal
Ter, commanding the marines ashore
in Haiti. found that the hostile natlv-
es outside the towns in the vicinity OIL
Cane Haitien and Gonaives we're IN
terfering with food supplies to such
an extent that steps were necessary
to relieve distress among the poorer
classes. He visited the chiefs OF the
hostile bands and explained that the
railroads must be ,eopened to permit
shipment of foodstuffs.
aAdmiral Caperton," said state
ment issued by the avy Department,
directed that the railroad be opened
from Gonaives to Emery. The Cacos
attempted to defeat this movement by
destroying the railroad tracks outside
Of Gonaives. A detachment OF "a ma
.;,o. moe cent out along the railroad
and encountered about 81 Cacos' VINO
opened fire at short range from bar
ricades across the railroad tracks. En-
ing was returned by the American
troops and the cacos were driven n
clear of the railroad for a distance OF
q mile and a half. No casualties were
suffered by the American forces, but
one chief and five other Cacos were
killed and one chief was wounded.

CANCER KILLS THOUSANDS
Neglect of Disease in Early Stages
to Blame Assert Physicians OF;
State

Philadelphia, Sept 23-- Prevention
of disease and promotion Of public
health were the altruistic motives be-
hind the introduction Of all topics con-
sidered Tuesday by the Medical So
ciety of Pennsylvania at the opening
of it's sixty-ffth annual convention in
the Bellevue-Stratford. A Cancer
Commission Iaported an alarming IN
crease of deaths from cancer and urg,-
ed that every effort be made to as
sure the public that most of the deaths
might have been prevented. Nearly
5000 Pennsylvanians, declared the
commission, are every year the need
less victims of cancer.
1t was shown that deaths from can
Ger in Pennsylvania have increased
from 4108 in 1906 to 5197 in 1911,
Sixteen cancer victims die every day
in the State. Only about one-ffth of
all fatal cancers are inaccessible to
the surgeon. In the remaining four
fifths which result fatally the deaths
were entirely unnecessary. The dis
ease in every instance had been local
for a long time. Death was caused by
delay. This delay in every case has
been caused by the ignorance or in
efficiency of either the doctor or the
patient, and in some cases by the in
efficiency of both. The young doctor
who does not know the early signs
and symptoms of cancer is not want
ed in Pennsylvania.
