On the Submarine Depreda.
tions off New England
Coast.
U.B0AT OFF SAVANNAH
Wisdom Of Telling Germany Of
Operations So Close to
u. S. Discussed.

Long Branch, N. j., Oct. IL
President Wilson and Secretary Of
State Lansing conferred at Shadow
Lawn today on German submarine
attacks on merchantmen Sunday off
the New England coast.
1t was indicated by officials that
facts so far collected through govern
mental agencies have disclosed no
reasons for drastic action by the Unit
ed States government of the acts
themselves. No evidence has been
found that international law was vio-
lated by the German submarines. II
was indicated however, that the pres
ident and Secretary Lansing discuss
ed the wisdom of pointing out to Ger
many the inadvisability of operating
her submarines in close proximity to
the territorial waters of the United
States.
The presence of a submarine of un-
determined nationality off Tybee bar
below Savannah was reported to Gus
tom house officials and to the British
consul. Officials at both the local
custom house and consulate refused
to say where their information came
from; both emphasized the statement
that it was entirely unofficial" No
undersea boats are believ-
ed to be in these waters.

THE INDIANS MAY GET A
LARGER PER CAPITA PAYMENT

The editor of this paper Thursday
received a telegram from Congress
man Charlie Carter announcing that
the per capita tax item of $500 to
the Choctaws and 500 to the Chick
Jaws. by a unanimous vote Of the
Committee on Indian Affairs, had
been raised to 5000 for the Choc-
taws and 5000 for the Chickasaws.
This report was made to Congress at
noon Thursday by the Committee,
with not dissenting vote.
This would indicate that not only
is there a very strong likelihood of
an increased payment, but also that
there is every reason to believe that
there will be no such disappointment
as there was last year in receiving a
per capita payment The spirits Of
the Indians and citizens in general
were considerably raised the last
time the payment was in prospect.
only to meet with a severe disap-
pointment in the subsequent fillibus-
tering which knocked the whole mat
ter out 1t is expected. and fondly
hoped that at this session the minds
OF the solons will be so engrossed in
the more serious consideration Of the
grave questions of international char
acter which they will have before
them, that they will not be anxious
or even willing to indulge in the friv-
olous parliamentary proceedings that
permit of the blocking of legislation
for the common good.
When the item of per capita pay
ments to the Indians is reached on
the floor Of the House, the old Mis-
slssippi Choctaw fight will be renew
ed on the part of the. members o.
Congress from Mississippi. There
are pending in the Senate and in thu
House bills to prevent the further dis
tribution of funds to the Choctaw
of Oklahoma until the rights Of thu
Choctaws in Mississippi are sustain
e dunder the treaty of Dancing Rab
bit Creek. The per capita item ha
the support of the members of tn
Oklahoma delegation, who contend
that the claims of the Mississippi
tChoctaws have been five times adju
dicated, once in the Supreme Cour
of the United States.

CALoMEL SALIvATES AND
MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
liver and You Lose a Days
Work.

There is 40 reason why person
should take sickening, salivating, cal
omel when fifty cents buys a large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone--a
perfect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it does not
make you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. !t
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick, and nau
seated tomorrow. Don't lose days
work. Take a teaspoonful of Dod-
sons Liver Tone instead and you wilt
wake up feeling great. No more blli-

Tone acts better than horrible calo-
