WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Deposf
lions probably will be asked or the
survivors Of the six steamships which
fell victim to submarine attack off
the United States coast yesterday, 1t
was said at the state department to-
day. The department desires the full
est possible report on what happened
before determining the course this
government must take. Secretary
Lansing today said further facts are
necessary, but refused to discuss the
matter beyond that point.
No British protest against the har-
boring of the German U-53 at New
port for three hours Saturday has yet
been received but at the embassy 1t
was said the ambassador had got in
touch with the British foreign office.
Will Be Held to Account.
LONG BRANCH, N. j., Oct. o.
"The German government will be
held to the complete fulfillment Of It's
promises to the government of the
United States" President Wilson
said today in a statement to the
American people, upon the German
submarine attacks off New England.
The statement follows:
1.-THE government will. OF course,
first inform itself as to all the facts,
that there may be no mistake or trou-
BILE so far as they ara concerned and
the country may rest assured that the
German government will be held to
the complete fulfillment of it's prom
ises to the government of the United
States.
"I have no right to question their
willingness to fulfill them.
(Signed) Woodrow Wilson"
When he saw Ambassador Bernstorff,
President Wilson planned to take up
in full the latest developments in the
submarine issue between the two gov
ernments. In official circles the situa-
ton was regarded as fraught with
ominous possibilities, but pending
definite word from Bernstorff and
from official government reports, no
conclusions were ventured by off,
Gals here
Ambassador Bernstorff saw the
president about one o'clock, arriving
here earlier than was expected. He
succeeded In avoiding the newspaper
men.

This is a recent discovery OF DR..
Pierce, who is head Of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital fol- several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms OF
inflammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or IL uric
acid In the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best OF results are
always obtained in cases OF acute
rheumatism in the joints, In gravel
and govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per.
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

DISEASE HITS PINE
Blister Rust Threatens Big
Economic Loss.
Recent Outbreaks In Eastern States
Lead Federal Authorities to Issue
Warnlng-comes in on I'M
ported Stock.

Washington, D. C.-The alarming
character of the white pine blister
rust and the economic loss which 1t
threatens in the northeastern and
western United States are sharply en-
phasized by four recent serious out
breaks on pine trees and currant
bushes in Massachusetts and New
York, says the United States depart
ment of agriculture. This disease
was introduced on imported white
pine nursery stock and first appeared
at Geneva, N. Y, in 1906.
In 1909 extensive importations OF
diseased white pine nursery stock
were located and destroyed in New
York and other eastern states, and
warnings were issued broadcast
against further importation Of white
pine from Europe. In spite of these
warnings importation continued even
from the particular nursery in Ger
many which was definitely known to,
be the main source Of disease, until
finally in 1912 all such importation
was stopped by federal action.
The white pine blister rust affects
the eastern white pine, the western
white pine, the sugar pine and indeed
all of the so-caIled five-leaf pines, pro-
ducing cankers on the stems and
branches, killing young trees and
manning and disfiguring old ones. 1t
also produces leaf disease of cur
rant and gooseberry bushes. The fun
gus causing the disease must live for
part of its life on pine trees and
part of it's life on currants and goose
berries. The disease cannot spread
from one pine tree to another, but
must pass first to currant bushes and
then back to pine.
In Europe the disease has made the
culture of American white pine i'm
practicable in England, Denmark and
Holland, and has seriously handi-
capped it's cultivation in Germany.
Since the trees which it attacks in
clude those of the most important
timber trees Of the United States, the
loss which this disease will produce
if unchecked is very great. Fortu-
nately the disease is not now known
to be present west of Buffalo, N. Y,
but IL it is not checked in the
eastern states it's ultimate spread to
the vast forests Of the Rocky noun
tains and the Pacific coast is certain.
The disease now occurs in three To-
calities in New Hampshire, two in
Vermont, ten in Massachusetts, two
in Connecticut, five in New York, one
In Pennsylvania and three in Ontario.
Canada.
The disease could be controlled now
by the destruction Of the diseased
white pines or the complete destruc-
ton of all currant and gooseberry
bushes in the vicinity of infected pine
trees. Whether or not this simple &C
ton can be accomplished depends up
on the legal authority possessed by
the various state horticultural inspec-
tors concerned. II the inspector Is
not armed with authority to destroy
either currant bushes or the diseased
white pines without the consent of
the owner, all efforts at control will he
unavailing, as single person by per-
hitting diseased pines or currants to
remain on his place can nullify the
WORK of an entire community.
