officials view the submarine situation
as taking on aspects of much gravity.
The possibility of breaking off diplo-
matte relations with Germany is again
being discussed as one of the event
ualities which is expected to follow
if it is shown that the steamers Sus-

have additional information but there
is an undercurrent of uneasiness over
the possibility that German subma-
rines have renewed their activities
against passenger carrying ships in
violation of the assurances given to
the United States.
All administration officials refrained
today from making definite statements
as to future action or from having
any definite statement to go out with

For its candidate as attOrney-gen-
eral, the Democratic party has selected
one of the most prominent and capable
attorneys in the state, whose legal
record is such that no question as to
his fitness for office can be raised upon
that score.
Thomas Henry Ryan of Appleton
is known throughout the legal frater-
nifty of Wisconsin as an attorney Of
high character, exceptional ability
and polished eloquence. His training
has been all that one could desire.
Born January q, 1867, in the town
of Buchanan, Outagamie county, he at
tended district schools in that town.
Later he entered Ryan high school at
Appleton in September, 1884, and was
graduated from that institution June,
1887. He then entered the University
of Wisconsin in the fall of 1887, and
was graduated from there June Is,
1891. He entered the law school Of
the university in the fall Of 1891, finish
ing June II, 1892 After leaving school
he located in Appleton July 5, 1892.
During the years of 1897, 1900, 1901,
1902, 1903, 1906 and 1907, he was city
attorney of Appleton, which position
he filed until 1907, when he was elect
ed to the position of Municipal Judge
for four years, being the first Munic-
ipal judge of Outagamie county. He
was reelected without any opposition
in 1911 for another term of four years.
At the expiration of his term in 1915,
he refused again to be a candidate,
having decided to enter the law firm
of Ryan, Cary & Frank in the city OF
Appleton

Dangers of Draft

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring just when they are most dan
gerous and the result is Neuralgia, Stiff
Neck, Sore Muscles or sometimes an at
tack of rheumatism. In such cases
apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t stimulates
circulation to the sore and painful part.
The blood flows freely and in a short
time the stiffness and pain leaves. Those
suffering from Neuralgia or Neuralgia
Headache will find n or two applica-
tons OF Sloan's Liniment will give
grateful relief. The agonizing pain gives
way to a tingling sensation OF comfort
and warmth and quiet rest and sleep is
possible. Good for Neuritis too. Price
