BUN Away From aNeryes.v

No one can help feeling nervous at
times in this age OF rush and racket
but IL is quite possible to put on the
brake, as il were, and not let the
nerves run away with Us.
If people fret you, it is not neces-
sary to be rude to them, Try instead.
to avoid them.
Don't read books that irritate you.
Books are plentiful therefore put
away the offending volume and choose
another
II noise at night worries you. don I
let it continue to do so, Get up and
see to the matter and put 1t right
Don't let yourself get into the habit
of being bored. II is not worth while.
When you feel 1t coming on plunge Ut
once into some task that will take all
your time and energy 1t is better to
run away from certain things than to
let them irritate you. Such martyr
dom is usually unnecessary and bad

Utility Of Battleships, Aero

Subject Of Report

Washington, Oct 1S.-The utility of
battleships, submarines, aeroplaues and

Navy Daniels to congress, distinct from
the national defense program, it was
learned today.
In the last session of congress there
was strong tendency to favor deyel-
opment of submarines and aircraft, to
the exclusion of the giant battleships
and Secretary Daniels recently express
ed the opinion that the spectacular OPP
erations of the under-sea boats had had
the tendency of making perhaps a too
strong sentiment for them. He sug-

That another lawyer, either from

BRITISH ACTION NAY
EMBARRASS AMERICA
Some How Johnny Bull Man
ages To Do the Wrong
Thing at the Right Time

Washington, Oct. estate depart
ment officials indicated today that no
American action will be taken regard
ing the German complaint that a
British patrol boat, displaying the
American flag killed members of a
German submarine seeking rescue after
their vessel had been sunk following
its shelling by the British steamer
NicOsian.
The report that the patrol used the
American flag until just before it at
tackled the submarine offered the only
international question. But the right
of warships to use the flags of 0
neutral as a ruse, whether in attack
ing or in flight, has been recognized
and established for more than hun
dred years.
Killing of the Germans as they were
trying to escape does not place any
duty upon the United States to protest
to Great Britain according to the state
Departments attitude. This alleged
barbarity was held to be on the samt
international legal footing as the al
| legged German atrocities in Belgium
against which the United States never
lodged complaint.
The act Of the British, however, may
make difficult the American demand
that German submarines exercise visi
and search before sinking merchant
men.
Secretary Lansing said the affidaviti
filed in the case through the German
embassy had not been called to his at
tention yet.

The official Austrian report, received
here early today said:
Austrian-Hungarian and German
battalions stormed yesterday in an en-
circling attack from the north and the
west, the Serbian positions on the Av

vanced on both sides of the road from
Belgrade to Grocka. and captured the

southeast of Poiarevac, the enemy wa'
again repulsed by the Germans"
Concerning operations on the eastern
front, the Petrogrrad official statement
received here early today showed tht
Teutons on the offensive about Rigs
and Dvinsk. Elsewhere the Russians
were continuing their offensive as
sauts. The Germans inflicted losse
on the Russians in the Riga region, bu
otherwise the advantage inclined t
the Slavs.

there is no pretense that the allies ye
have sufficient force to continue eff

EMBARGO ON SHIPMENT
OF ARMS TO REBELS
Huerta May Be Turned Over
to Carranza For Trial For
Murder Of MaderO

Washington, Oct. 1S.--The final step
in the recognition of General Carranza
as provisional president of Mexico was
taken today, The Pan-American con.
ferees met. In advance, they agreed a
note should be delivered to Elisea Are.
dondo, Carranza S representative here,
by the Secretary of State Lansing, to
be followed by similar notes from the
other conference countries.
Other South aud Central American
republics, not in the conference, will
extend recognition by sending new ere
dentials to their diplomats already in
Mexico City.
This afternoon IS conference was tC
be the last Arrendodo was slated tC
appear officially before the conference
and TO receive the recognition notifica
tion.
Immediate re-establishment Of the
embargo on arms shipments across tht
boarder to "rebels" was planned
President Wilson had the proclamation
drafted. He expsats.tO issuei at late to
day.
With Carranza recognized, both of
ficial and unofficial relations betweel
the Americans and Villa, Zapata an'
other "rebel" chieftains ceases. Like
wise does the agreement between VIII
and General Hugh Scott, chief of tn
United States army staff for q neutra
zone along the border. However, re
treat of Villas dwindling army tc
ward Sonora was expected to proven
any differences as to this zone.
Meanwhile, the plight of Victorian
Huerta, one time Mexican dictator, wa
more serious. Carranza is expected I
demand that he be extradited from I
paso where he is held an America
prisoner charged with violation of An
erican neutrality by fomenting a revt
luton from this side. Probably, h
will be turned ever to Carranza If An
