Paris, Oct 10.-Cnder the headings
of "Blackmail" and Defiance the
morning newspapers print in prominent
position every scrap of news obtainable
about the submarine campaign on tho
American coast, accompanied by plen-
tiful comment.
The general sentiment of the press
is that Germany is challenging the Unit
ed States with a conviction that the
challenge will not be taken up and that
neutrals must see today that they act
ed unwisely in not "nipping the sub
marine warfare on commerce in the
bud" The newspapers express the opln-
ion that the submarine campaign on the
American coast is the last touch to
a situation which is becoming impossl-
bic owing to the sinking of Scandina-
Wan and other neutral ships. They de-
clare that neutrals must feel bound TO
act as the navigation of the whole world
is affected.
Germany" the Gaulois says, rs con-
WINGED that by extending the field OF
assassination to American waters she
will bring about a peace movement IN
the United States. She imagines that

Return of Campbell, IT, to Bow
doin Will Add Strength to
'Varsity's Line

Brunswick, Me-, Oct. t0..-Bowdoin's
line will be strengthened by the re-
turn of Boniface Campbell, II, from
California. Campbell played in the
on the squad for the last two years,
playing at guard and tackle. OF heavy
build. he will be an addition to the
line which is now much lighter than
that of last year, for at present there
are no veteran guards. Campbell was
in uniform at the field Friday and
Saturday afternoons while the team
was away, and was in the scrimmage
yesterday on the Varsity eleven.
Another Find
Another Freshman was brought to
light in the Amherst game in Cornelius
+. khoades OF Springfield, who played
the first part OF theg anne at tackle.
He has had experience on the team or
the Central High school of Springfield
and showed up well in the game. The
new Sophomore backs behaved finely,
both Turner and Sprague making sub
Stantial gains against the Amherst
team.
In line plunging Bowdoin had dis,inc,
advantage and the two touchdowns came
as a result of continuous line work iii
which Peacock figured prominently. He
was not used the whole game on account

touchdown and helping pave the way for
another Amhersts scoring came as re-

Goodrich, who made two long runs and
kicked a field goal Bowdoin worked one
forward pass from Peacock to Bradford
successfully.
In spite of the rain and the absence of
Coach Weatherhead, practice was held on
Whittier field yesterday afternoon. Cap
tain Shumway had charge of the prac-
tce of the backs and the line men were
under Stone, the varsity center.
Reginald Small of Westbrook played
the entire game al left guard Saturday
and bids fair to hold down the position
for the whole season. There is plenty
of good end material in Bradford Chap

last Saturday. for Amherst was play
ing its first game of the season and the
team was considerably lighter than the
Bowdoin eleven. which is by no means
heavy. Wesleyan has beaten the Con-
necticut Agges to o. but not able to
defeat the Rhode Island Aggies Satur-
day. Captain Deetjen was out of the
first game with injuries, but played last

counts for their failure to score more

DR.. Eliot's Discovery

DR. Eliot pierces tbs heart of the
matter" Mr. Hughes said, and he
finds that the record OF the admins
tration means this: NO intervention
by force OF arms to protect on foreign
soil American commercial and manu-
featuring. adventures who, of their
own free will, have invested their
money or riSked their lives in foreign
parts under alien jurisdiction
Think Of the import of that, you
who represent the best genius of the
world and are thinking of using il
abroad" Mr.. Hughes added. Think of
that, YOU who it is suggested are to be
asked to finance the chief under talk
ngs of the world. Think of that, mer-
chants. statesmen. tellers, clerks and
dealers VINO in serving the world
take Your place remote from your
ties where revolutions are frequent and
only the respect for your flag and the
power it symbolizes may stand be-
tween you and ruin or even death"
Mr. Hughes read the Democratic
platform plank of 1912. declaring for
the protection of American reports
abroad. and asked if it were 'molasses
to catch flies. Il clared the protection
it gave had been deliberately and de-
plorably refused. He quoted from a
recent speech of the President outlin-

american enterprise and asserted that
II was impossible to square the fine
words now used with the actions of
the administration"
president Eliot" he continued
says the administration has gone far
10 establish non-intervention by force
Oh arms TOR the protection of miners
and commercial adventures in foreign
parts, as the American policy" If you
want to have a concrete example OF
tilat poilcy, look at the record in
Mexico
What right had this administration to
change American policies as to the pro-
lection of American citizens? Was their
platform molasses to catch flies, other
wise known as American investors? Have
they had any mandate from the Ameri-
can people or the slightest authority from,
the American people to withhold protec-
ton abroad? Have they authorized del
egated power, or have they abused the
authority?
Il do overlook Mr.. Eliot's reference to
force of arms. We are desirous-no one
more than LOT aiding and maintaining
the peace of the world. l believe 1t to
be a mistake to suppose that an adequate
policy of protection to the known right
of American citizens is likely to neces-
state the actual use of force. The sane
ton of force lies back of the laws ana
pursuits of peace 1t is idle to expect
that American enterprise will trust the
assurance OF policy which invites the
destruction of life and property. Such Il
policy will paralyze enterprise in the very
places where it should be promoted.
"A self-respecting policy worthy of the
American name maintaining American
honor, assuring protection to the known
rights of American citizens under Amer
lean law, is absolutely necessary. That
does not mean war. 1t means the secur-
ity of a self-respecting peace. 1t means
that regard will be paid to our just de-
mands."
Tonight's address was the second OF the
day. The first was delivered at Hagers-
town at the Interstate Fair grounds, and
was devoted largely to a discussion OF the
tariff. the Adamson law and what the
nominee termed the extravaganza OF the
present administration. Mr.. Hughes left
at II 90 for West Virginia.

submarine war.
We would emphasized" says the bu-
reau, that the Centrum's declarations
and the attitude of its members in
committee are in complete accord. The
situation IS to be interpreted solely as
an attempt to define precisely the re-
sponsibility Of the chancellor before
the Reichstae on the political aspects
of the question of ruthless submarine
war. The supreme military command
and therefore ultimately Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, is alone competent to
pass upon the military side of the en-
tire question. 1t is wrong, however.
to deduce from this attitude Of the
Centrist members Of the committee
reapproac hment with that group which
demands ruthless submarine warfare
under all circumstances"
The bureau says that the Centrum Is
endeavoring to harmonic contending
standpoints feeling that the contro-
versy over the submarine issue. unless
terminated will have lamentable effects
on popular sentiment.

New York, Oct 1o.-Captain Grotness
of the Norwegian steamer Christian
Knudsen, 'one of the vessels torpedoed
off Nantucket lightship Sunday, Official
ly reported to his agents in New YORK
today his belief that three submarines
were operating in the lightship's Nlcin-
ity.
CAPTAIN Grotness In his report said
that he wasAoverhauled by the submar-
inc U-53 and ordered to stop shortly
after 80 A. NJ. two warning SHOTS
being fired across the bows. The L.
boat then drew alonesid and Capt.
Grotness was instructed to come aboard
and bring his papers, which he did
1t was while standing on the deck
of C-53 that he saw, according to his
report, the coming towers OF the two
other submarines about four miles dis
tant The coming towers, he said,
were the same type as the coming tow
er of the boat he was on. The SUBJ
marines he saw were moving in a
northeaster!y direction.
The cargo of oil aboard the Chris
tan knudsen was consigned to London
The C-boat commander. however, did
not take any of it, as has been report
ed, Capt Grotness said. The crew were
allowed about half hour to take to
their boats before the submarine open
ed fire on the ship with her deck gun.
About $50 shots were fired, most or
which hit. but owing to her divided
tank construction the ship did not sink
Finally. the U-boat discharged tor
pedo into her and she blew up.
Another point brought out in the re-
port of Capt. Grotness was the snort
space of time required for the U-53
TO submerge. He reported that while
