The effect on the political situation can
not be mistaken.
Having reached the above conclu-
sion, democratic leaderse are regard
ing the situation. will. in all probability,
suppose, for instance, German subma-
rines off the American coast, should
flagrantly disregard American restric-
|tions-should strike within the thre -
mile limit. should sink ship without
warning, or sacrifice the lives of Amer
leans! And then suppose the Presi-
dent should apply the doctrine of the
mailed fist to the German Kaiser.
The German American voter, regard :
ing the situation, will. in al probability,
recall the fact that as long as the
submarine obeyed the precepts of civ
Iilized warfare. Wilson remained
"hands-off." But should he forget that
fact, and go abroad urging his COM
patriots to support the republican
ticket in order that. the administra-
I ton might be rebuked-is it not pos
sible of belief that those of Ameri-
can birth would recognize the Kaiser
bund" isue and rally to the support of
the President?
At any rate, all the foregoing is
the opinion of democratic leaders
They smile while republicans whistle
to keep their courage up.

U. S. POLICY ON
SUBMARINE RAIDS
TO AWAIT EVIDENCE
Lansing, on Return From
Conference With President,
Makes Plain Attitude of
State Department

Washington, October 1.-THE policy
Of the United States regarding the re-
cent U-boat raid off the New England
coast will not be determined until much
more complete information as to all
the facts have been received. This
was announced by Secretary Lansing
tonight after his return from his con-
ference with President Wilson at
Shadow Lawn.
Although the secretary declined to elab-
crate on his statement. other officials in
dicated that much would depend on Rear
Admiral knights report on all the naval
phases of the raid, particularly the steps
taken to insure the safety of passengers.
There was every evidence that Secretary
Lansing had gone to see the President
more to discuss possible eventualities than
with the idea of making a definite de-
cision.
Officials here expect that the report
from Rear Admiral knight based on the
statements of officers on the relief lotilia
of American destroyers, that were at the
ready for consideration within a few
days.
Whether the German commander took
proper care for the safety of the per-
sons he put into small boats from the
attack of vessels is a question involving
points on which officials believe there is
no Clear precedent, and on which a de-
cision by the United States might APP
proximate precedent at least, so far
as concerns any further submarine oper-
ations Germany may contemplate on this
side of the Atlantic.
Newport, r. l., October 1.-THE Ameri-
can navy is taking every precaution
against the use of the American coast
as a base of supplies for foreign sub
marines. All day today there was great
activity among the destroyer flotila at
the naval base here. and when the de-
stroyers Mccall, Porter and Cummings
went out on a mysterious mission this
afternoon, Rear Admiral Knight, in conf
mand of this district, was asked if the
boats were searching for a submarine
base or looking up some foreign subma-
rine tender
II cannot answer that" the admiral
stated. but We are letting no report of
submar ine bases or tenders pass by with
