German Submarine Stops AT
Nnwnnrt X.

Last Saturday one of the German sub
marine boats, U-53, found it's way into
harbor at Newport, R. l., dropped anchor
and remained about three hours.
The visit of this war vessel was sur
prise to the Navy officials at that place,
and in fact to all Army and Navy officials
of the United States. U-53 was here
and made her get away before many per.
sons knew of her visit. The commander
of the great destroyer, Lieutenant-Cap-
tain Hans Rose, came ashore for the
purpose of mailing letter addressed to
the German Ambassador, Count Won
Bernstorff. After paying visit to sew
eral naval officers, he returned to his
vessel, and in course of time received a
number of U. S. officers and their wives
At the time the real mission of the
U-53 was unknown.
The business of the submarine was
announced in a very forceful manner
Sunday. Off the coast of New England
six steamers-four British, one Dutch
and one Norwegian-were torpedoed
after all persons on board were trans
ferred to other vessels or given time to
take to small boats.
News of the destruction of these vessels
was sent broadcast, wireless messag es
warning all vessels to seek shelter with
in tho tbree mile zone of the American
shore.
1t is said the destruction of these ves-
sells will not complicate matters between
the United Srates and the nations at war
in Europe, but at the same time it would
be more to the liking of the government
and people of the United States if the
fighting grounds remained on the other
side of the Atlantic.

How Catarrh Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so thoughtless
as to neglect the colds which their child
rem contract. The inflammation of the
mucus membrane, at first acute, becomes
chronic and the child has chronic catarrh
disease that is seldom cured and hat
may prove life's burden. Many per-
sons who have this loathsome disease
will remember having had frequent colds
at the time it was contracted. A little
forethought, bottle of Chamberlain 8

Marguerite Clark in

SllLL w "A END.
A circus, a canal and canal boat form
the settings for Marguerite Clark's beau
ty and talent in the Famous Playees Film
Company's latest contribution to the Par
amount program, "Still Waters"
"Still Waters" which is rare COM
bination of pastoral romance, rural COM
edy and thrilling drama, was written
especially for Miss Clark by Edith Bar
nard Delano. In it the diminutive star
has one of the greatest opportunities of
her screen career for the display of her
remarkable versatility.
An entire circus was leased, and Harry
La PEARL one of the most famous clowns
in the country, was engaged for the pre-
sentation of those portions of the story
which have to do with the circus. The
scenic beauty of the Delaware River and
the Lehigh Valley canal, which parallels
it at Easton, Pa, lend rare charm to the
tale.

THE YANKEE GIRL.
Blanche Ring, the actress, is every bit
as gifted as her only rival, Blanche Ring,
the singing Coincidence. This fact is
ably demonstrated in her fimiza ton of
1.-THE Yankee Girl" her memorable mus
ical comedy hit of a season ago.
1.-The Yankee Grip has been taken
from the painted scenery of the stage
and placed in natural settings featuring
a real yacht on real ocean and real
Spanish surroundings in which to work
out the plot.
Figuring in an entirely new field and
derived of the usual resources whereby
she has been accustomed to get her
effects, Miss Ring by sheer fine acting
makes the spectator love her just as
much as of old.

DOMESTIC DEMAND
SHOWING INCREASE
Reserve Board Report Says
Business Good and on
Firm Foundation

Washington, August 1.-The monthly
summary of business prepared by the
| federal reserve board today from reports
| from the agents In the twelve fedora
reserve district shows domestic demand
gradually taking the place of foreign or.
ders.
1.-THE present trend of business is more
along the line of conservation, which
bankers and business men have been urg-
ing" the summary stated. 1T tends to a
more permanent prosperity. The pressure
to place new orders and to stock up
heavily which was so prevalent month
or two ago is disappearing.
THE general business outlook is salts
factory; crops better than of an av-
uation is satisfactory almost everywhere
except New York, where the garment
workers are on strike, and San Fran
cisco, where strikes continue on the
water front.
Atlanta reports business conditions con-
siderably disturbed as a result OF the
recent tropical storm. Cotton and corn
crops suffered heavily but the signs are
more favorable for citrus fruits. job
bers and wholesalers report light orders
because of the storm.
The iron and steel market shows little
change.
Richmond says it is difficult to prepare
correct report on conditions in that dis
trict because of the Generalization of
train and mail service by the great storm
which swept that section July Is, caus-
ing the deaths of 70 persons and de-
stroying millions of dollars worth of
property.
Summer dullness is said to have taken
the edge off business and crops suf-
fered severely from the storm.
In the Dallas district the grain crop
Is said to have been saved practically
corn will not be as heavy as was prom
ised. Boil weevils have appeared practi-
cally everywhere but except in a few
sections have done little damage to
cotton.
1T is gathered from many sources"
says the augury In the report, that the
trade is feeling the usual summer de-
preston"
Boston reports business in almost all
line continues good, while New York
noted little or no change in the indus
trial situation. Statistics denoted large
increases in imports and exports, but
bank clearings. higher railroad earnings,
and postal receipts, more new corpora
tions, greater activity in building, and
fewer failures.
Business continues very good and the
general outlook is encouraging" says the
Philadelphia report.
Cleveland also reports business steady.
From Chicago general satisfactory bust

FAILURE
IN POLISH PLANS
Germany Tells u. S. Further
Negotiations Are Use
less at Present

Washington, August 1.-Complete
failure of the persistent efforts made
by the United States to extend aid to
the people of Poland now is regarded
by officials here as virtually inevita-
BILE.
Germany, in a note reaching the state
department today served notice that
in view of the 'impracticable condi-
tions" imposed by Great Britain on
shipment of relief supplies through the
allied lines, further negotiations are
devoid of purpose" The British for
eign office indicated in a communica-
ton several days ago that it had said
Its last word on the subject in agree
ing to permit shipments on condition
that no native food would be taken by
the Teutonic armies occupying Polish
territory.
There still is a slender possibility
that the personal appeal sent by Presi
dent Wilson to rulers of the belligerent
countries may result in some concession
on the one side or the other. So far
no replies to this appear have been re-
ceived and there has been no indication
that it has made an appreciable i'm
preston in any European capital.
Officials are particularly pesimistic
over the future of relief work in the
war zones because of intimations reach
ing Washington that the harsh rules
imposed on Poland soon may be APP
piled also to Belgium. They see posi-
BILE evidence of such a purpose in the
uncompromising stand taken in the
present negotiations, and it would oc-
casion no surprise here If Germany
withdrew her undertaking to permit the
Belgians to retain their native crops
and Great Britain retaliated by can
ceiling the privileges extended Ameri-
can relief societies in sending supplies
into Belgian territory. Such a develop
ment, 1t is feared, would mean great
hardship in Belgium. where large part
of the population is being fed and
clothed by America.
