Assembly relating to the Town of Newark and all
the Ordinances passed, and in effect, by the Coun-
Gil of Newark

We also printed another book of "a pages with
blanks for notes. a copy of all the Ordinances re-
lating to the Government Of Newark, bound in

Here's to Sol Wilson! Nor is
it for an AID. He advertises. If
there's a more up-to- the-minute
business man around Newark, we
don't know who he is. Sol blew
in here from Somewhere and i'm
mediately began to tell us he was
here--and then backed up his
talk. If there is any thing on
Chestnut Street that Sol hasn't
got, he doesn't know it. And he
knows Mems Clothing and all
that goes to make a well dressed
man.
Being a good business man. he
is good citizen. He's liberal. in
terested in everything for the
towns welfare and a Booster.
His name is Wilson true, but he
does more than write notes. And
when you say Wilson, it's not all.
He is good citizen, good bust
ness man and an asset to Newark
AS such, this is a boost for him
If you need anything in the fur
nishing of a gentleman or just
plain man, and have never inter
viewed this Newark Tailor, take
this tip and see the man. It will
cost nothing and may be of SER
vice.

not permit of silence to
such accusation.
7-DiscussiOn-Being Public
question in which every
citizen is or should be in
terested, then surely dis
cuss and welcome discus
sion where all may learn
and take part. This to our
mind offers the protection
ton needed.
So this is our idea Of Traf-
fic Regulation. Right or wrong,
it is honest and will have to go at
that. Whenever the good name
of Newark is questioned, when
ever accusations are made against
our policies, our spirit of Court
esq, Fairness and Sanity in the
treatment of a travelling public,
we shall bring these accusations
to the attention of our officials
and our citizens. We should con-
slider ourselves very lax if we did
not prin this with the same
boldness that we print a compli-
ment to the town.
This The-King-can-do- wrong
theory is not according to our
idea of America, of Delaware or
of Newark. Being possessed with
this idea, we have yet to recognize
any authority with power to pre-
vent the expression of an honest
question or opinion. No fair
minded man with red-blood in his
veins will dare dispute this right
Others are of small moment,
that concern us not at all.

.U.BOAT STAYS;
PLANS CHANGED
Deutschland Ready for Dash
to Sea, but Halt Is Sud-
denly Called.
BY DAMON RUNYON,

On Board the Press Dispatch Boat
Valiant. on Locust Point, Baltimore.
July 3o.-The Deutschland planned to get
away today / have this on excellent
authority. At the very last minute the
plan was abandoned.
Two big tug boats came chugging up
the Pataspsco River about / o'clock this
afternoon. They were the Chicago and
the Britannia, owned by Baltimore
company. It is believed they had been
ordered to assist the Thomas F. Timmons
in conveying the U-boat out to sea.
The Chicago went close to the berth OF
the Deutschland. The Britannia steamed
around in a circle a short distance out.
4 man on the after deck OF the war
bound German liner Neckar, which lies
alongside the Deutschland, hailed the
Chicago and the tug drew up in under
the towering stern of the big vessel.
A tip that the U-boat would leave to-
day had gone around last night Quite
a crowd was on shore
With tug on either side and another
astern the Deutschland would have been
protected from all followers
The reason for the abandonment Of the
plan to sail today cannot be asCertained
Most Of the crew OF the Deutschland
got shore leave today after the plan tC
sail was given up This is taken to
mean that the boat does not intend to SO
for another twenty-four hours.

"MY KIDNEYS WERE
AWFUL L---BUT NOW
THEY'RE ALL RIGHT"
Mrs. M. Snyder, Of 429 N.
Luzerne Avenue, Baltimore,
Finds Quick Relief From
Stubborn Kidney
Trouble.

Honestly; I believe I had the worst
case of kidney trouble l ever heard Of, -
said Mrs. Snyder, a day or so ago.
Honestly. when I first got up in the
morning. the pains in the small of my
back were something frIghtful, So sharp.
IN fact, that it required at least a half
hours effort on my part. before I could
straighten up and walk around. The
urine was fearfuIly high-COIOred and with
a very offensive OdOr.
i've only taken one bottle Of DreCo
and am now on my second and I'm
mighty glad to say that it has simply
worked wonders for me- for it seems as
II il has cleared up all my troubles and
began to do so with the very first dose
Inside Of a week, l could get up in the
morning and move about just as | used
TO- without any sort Of an ache or pain
in my back. That was almost enough
good Improvement in itself, but It wasn't
all
MY urine is now normal, no more bad
odOr, at any time, and the bad taste in
my mouth when I awoke each morning
is almost entirely gone. I'm going to
take the second bottle of Dreco, and
honestly believe that will be all I need
but I've proven to myself that this was
the remedy I was looking for And IL
YOU could see the dozens of bottles I've
got home. some I've taken half Of and
some all Of-you'd almost feel sorry for
me for having put so much Of drugs into
my stomach"
kidney trouble is so prevalent and pain
ful. but it's really nothing out of the
usual for Dreco.
Get Dreco today at O'Donnclrs Stores,
Bury's in Anacostia, Aliens in Alex

NOTE ASSAILS
BRITISH LIST
State Department Gives Out
the Text of the Protest
to England.

The State Department yesterday gave
out the text OF its note to Great Britain
assailing the British blacklist as an arbi-
trary interference with neutral trade.
No demands are made and there are
no threats OF reprisals. The note confines
itself to condemning the attempt of bel
ligerent power to injure or abbreviate
the rights of American citizens.
1t was made plain at the State De-
partment yesterday that no present con-
sideration will be given preliminary as
surances by the British Ambassador de-
signed to show that the blacklist is not
aimed at neutrals and is not intended to
take any form of a secondary boycott by
striking innoCents who deal with black
listed persons or firms.
What the United States insists on is
reply on the principle, for which It
holds there is no moral or legal justiica-
ton.
The note charges Great Britain with
utilizing British steamship companies to
refuse transportation of blacklisted goods
and similarly coercing neutral merchants
and bankers to boycott firms on the
blacklist
The United States insists on the right
of its citizens to trade with citizens now
at war. subject to remedies and penalties
for breaches OF neutrality.

DAMAGE TO LIBERTY
STATUE FROM BLAST
MAY REACH MILLION

New York, July 30-Great havoc was
wrought on Bedloes Island. Damage to
the Statue of Liberty has been variously
estimated at from 800, 900 to s., 900. 600
The latter is the guess of Capt. Clifton.
in charge OF Liberty Island. The exact
injury can not be ascertained until ex-
perts have made a careful examination
of the pedestal and base of the statue.
Bedloes Island, almost on a direct
line with Black Tom, bore the -brunt of
the shock
Every window in the pedestal of the
Statue of Liberty is broken. but a
cursory examination failed to reveal any
extensive damage. A little curio shop
inside in the statue was found to have
been completely demolished.
One burning barge singled out build
ing on Bedloes Island for its exclusive
attention. The bursting shrapnel from
this barge completed the destruction
wrought by the two first explosions.
Capt. Clifton. who occupied the first
house in the row. with his wife, hi.
daughter, Elizabeth. II years old. and
small son. was aroused by the ex-
plosion.
II knew what it was" he said, hay
ing experienced the San Francisco earth
quake
Rushing into the bedroom. occupied by
Ile CnliuIen, capt. Clifton TOOK them IN
his arms. Followed by his wife, he made
his way TO the parade ground
On the way out he ordered the buglers
to sound a general alarm, calling out
every man on the island
In all, thirty women and about twenty
children gathered on the little parade
ground, which even then was under fire
from exploding shrapnel.
Near where they stood were scores of
boxes of explosives. All about them It
Sained debris. The thud OF iron bolts and
exploded shells sounded all around them.
The women and children nestled close to-
gether
Less than ten feet away from where the
women and children were grouped the

itself deep in the ground. A heavy piece
of chain, weighing at least 800 pounds

hurtled over their heads and fell with a
crash against a concrete walk.
The women and children on the island
were taken in a police patrol boat to
Governors Island, which was untouched
by the explosion. and orders were issued
tnat no boats. other than those engaged
in government business. can land at the
island. Shore leave was refused the men
at the post.
The water supply on the island was cut
of and the men isolated on the island

finally Chief of Police Healy himself

More than score of mothers with in
fants in their arms collapsed and were
taken to hospitals as a result Of the long
wait at the beach gates. Twenty or more
persons collapsed or were overcome even
after they got into the water.
City fire companies throughout the
crowded sections kept their hose playing
on men, women and children and horses
throughout the day.
Chicago was not alone in its suffering.
Wisconsin reported twenty-seven deaths,
OF which twenty-five were in Milwaukee.
Reports from Illinois cities outside Of
Chicago give an estimated total of about
forty casualties, while in Indiana the
State totals mounted nearly to fifty

and thousands Of eyes were turned
heavenward in awe.
Police headquarters and the fire depart
ment bore the brunt of the battle for
information. The fire department was
compelled to call off two men who were
doing duty on the board for fire alarms
only and detail them to assist in answer
ing the one great question which came
over the wire constantly, Where's the
fire." More than fifteen hundred panic
stricken men, women, and children sue
ceeded in making telephone connection
with Main 5000, the fire department head
quarters during the evening.
People Feared the Worst.
The glare appeared at an opportune
time for a successful scare. News of
the explosion in New York harbor yes
terday was still fresh in the minds OF
many. They were in the proper frame of
mind to look for the worst They did.
Churches were emptied. people alighted
from cars to stand in the street, whole
families rushed frantically from their
homes and wildly ran from place to
place seeking reliable information as to
the cause of the red glare. In fact,
Washington was in a panic The news
paper offices were besieged for informa-
ton and. for a time, even they were
unable 10 account Tor the unusual glare.
Throughout the entire time the light
appeared no one was found who could
in any manner claim to have known or
guessed the real cause for the panic.
Nothing simple as the reflection of
the departed suns rays from a white
haze in the heavens was entertained.
The light was visible for twenty-five
minutes and gradually faded away
Looking down Pennsylvania avenue the
red glare was reflected from the hun
dreds of windows in the large build
ings and the Capitol was bathed in GRIM
son.
The weather prophet sees no relief from
the hot wave for the next few days.
Sweltering weather must be endured
starting today he says.

The damage done on the Island is
estimated at $4,000, the immigration
building suffering most. The big hve-

foundation to the roof and every window
was smashed
To the immigrants 1t seemed that the
building had been lifted out of Its
foundation and dropped back again.
While women and children ran about like
mad. shrieking and wringing their hands,
the men, too stunned to scream, lay
wid-eyed wherever the original blast had
hurled them.
The two hundred hospital patients were
taken along with the others to the lawn

unexploded shells, pieces of iron. bricks
and glass splinters. None was killed and

The British are continuing their

German trenches south of the Ypres dur

out a successful raid in the Loos salient.
The artillery fire of the British is

drawn amazed comment by the German
general staff. In the official report given
out at grand headquarters in Berlin today,
the Germans describe ~ "~tulering as
