drowned, Dover reported.
Confusing reports concerning
Americans aboard the Sussex were
circulated. One news agency de-
clared Elizabeth Baldwin and her
parents, OF Philadelphia, had been
saved. the girls leg having been
broken. Other accounts said Miss
Baldwin and her father were missing.
French dispatches asserted fatty
that torpedo was responsible for
the explosion John H. Pearley,
United Press STAFF correspondent
aboard the Sussex, said three Ameri-
cans were positive they had seen a
torpedo speeding toward the vessel
an instant before the crash.
Agents Of the line owning the Sus-
sex refused to comment on the affair.
The company Offices issued a state
ment that the vessel had met mis-

CHILDREN'S WEAR
BUSINESS BETTER
The Two Pants Suits Seem Doomed
As Result of Fashion
Meet.

According to all reports, despite the
somewhat unfavorable weather that
has prevailed recently, the fall sea-
sons business on boys and children's s
clothing, particularly on school outfits,
Is starting off fairly wel throughout
the country, except in a few localities
where adverse conditions have arisen,
as for instance in New York, where
the opening of schools has been post
poned indefinitely on account of the
intantile paralysis epidemic that has
been raging there for the past two or
three months
And here, while on the subject, II
Is interesting to note that another re-
suit of the epidemic in the metropolis
IS the action recently taken by all the
big department stores in refusing to
accept return of children's clothes and
toys after they have once been deliv-
cred. Some Of the stores apply this
policy only to what is known as In
fantS goods, suitable for children up
to four years OF age, but others apply
1T to clothing for children up to the
age of Il years,
Whilo the new regulation has caused
a certain amount of loss, department
store managers say it was an abso-
lutely necessary precaution and that
even if the stores did not wish TO adopt
such a rule, they would have been
forced to do so by the demands Of
women shoppers The situation how
ever, may have a tendency to help the
department stores remedy permanent
" the return goods evil, of which they
have been complaining for a long time
past.
Business in certain other cities and
localities besides New York has been
affected by the infantile paralysis epi-
demic lately and the postponement OF
tho opening of schools, but as stated
above, throughout the country az "A
whole the demand for boys and chil-
drens clothing and school outfits is
reported to be pretty good. The retail
prices of some grades of merchandise
1re higher this season, owing to the
increase that has taken place in the
cost Of materials, wages etc. and the
consumer Is coming to realize that he
must pay these advances or accept in
ferior goods.
IT Is said that as a consequence Of
the present situation in the market

FEAR OF A STRIKE

One Price Glass.

The fear of a general railroad strike
and paralysis of transportation fa-
cilities which hung over the country
for several weeks before September l
was instrumental in hurrying up the
shipments of fall merchandise. Some
manufacturers had been preparing
for months to meet strike situation,
and had urged retailers to accept
carly shipments of goods ordered for
later delivery.
There had also been considerable
81 Jpn ents of fall stocks and many
concerns have been hurrying their
merchandise through by express.
II Is generally reported that de.
liver1es to date are considerably in
excess of what they were at this time

Fall stocks have begun to move in
the retail stores, and, according to
some prominent Dealers tho early fail

II is claimed that throughout the
country there Is a noticeable tendency
on the part of progressive retailers
to induce their salesmen to sell higher

CHIEF DYER HAD A GRAFI
Chinese Coins Were Placed In Dye
stuffs 10 Boost the Trade,

The customs officials have been
manifesting much interest lately in
the discovery of Chinese coins secreted
In tins of German made dyestuffs
shipped to this country from China.
These dyes, originally Intended for
Chinese consumption, have, as pre-
viously pointed out, been arriving in
this country ever since the outbreak
of the war. Stocks OF these dyes had
accumulated in China and were
bought up by American spectators to
relieve the shortage here. II was un-
officially stated at the appraisers
stores that these coins were very evil
dcntly placed in these tins for the pur-
pose of influencing the boss dyer in
the Chinese mills to buy this particu-
lar make of dyes. The coin was so
placed that it would be removed by
The boss dyer and not by the pur-
chaser or owner of the mill using the
dyes.

PROBLEM OF THE HOME.

A boy Is years of age is under ar
rest in Chicago and has confessed to
being implicated with a gang of youths
OF his own age and ranging to q years
old in various deeds of violence. The
youngsters mother, instead of being
bowed down with grief and shame bv
the plight of her son, defiantly pro-
claims that he has been prosecuted"
by the police. 1t is well known fac,
that no one ever was prosecuted by the
police unless they had occasion to
come into contact with the police. No
well behaved boy need have fear of
the police, for the simple reason that
the police will not know of his exis-
tence. A Chicago judge in reviewing
the bad boy questions says. The bad
boy problem is the problem Of the
home" Conditions in the big cities
differ from this in smaller commun-
tiles, but the home influence is fac
tor just the same. There are PAM
pered sons in the city whose parents
beileve them models of every virtue
and who permit their offsprings to do
as they please at all times. On the 9TH
er hand, there are homes here where
the boys are watched as closely as
convicts by misguided parents, hoping
by this method Of repression to grow
wings on the young fellows. 1t cannot
be done in this manner, either. There
is a certain amount of pent UP energy
in boy if he is the real article that
must be permitted to escape. If eased
gradually no damage is liable to result.
Some parents by their easy, indifferent
and tolerant methods, in the parlance Of
the locomotive fireman, having their
| boys popping all the time. Others
close the safety valve too tight. The
wise parent is the one who knows lust
what middle course to pursue. And
then there are some boys who appear
so "cussedly" mean that no influence
on earth seems capable OF reforming.

The Baby Sheds His Band.
Is the baby's band efficacious?

Is the baby's band efficacious?
Does it really serve the purpose for
which it is intended?
Once more we find ourselves at
variance with old, accepted ideas.
1t is the ancient argument that the
baby band makes his little tummy
warm and helps digest his food; that
it strengthens his back; and that ba-
bies have worn abdominal bands ever
since cloth was first woven, and hence
should continue the habit
Science holds that the only function
or excuse for baby binder is to re-
tain the umbilical dressing. Science
deposes and says that a band won't
keep the baby any warmer than his
shirt; that the band is so loose and
twisted out of place half the time
that it can't offer appreciate sup
port to the back, and anyway the bach
needs no such support.
A good many anxious fathers have
paced the floor many and many a
night with cantankerous baby, made
so by the irritation of needless band
A good many doses of collie cure
soothing syrup and other poisonous
dopes have been poured into babies
who were endeavoring to explain tina,
they wished some sane person would
remove that confounded, itchy, twist,
ed, annoying, heating binder.
At the age of weeks in most in.
stances, and surely at the age of ]
month, every baby should shed the
binder, whether his parents like the
idea or not. This advice we give the
babies in the interest OF the health
and strength of the coming genera.

ARMY APPROPRIATIONS WASTED

sat recently in the house of repre-
sentatives and heard the Hon. Au-
gustus Gardner Of Massachusetts,
make the statement upon his respon-
sibility as a member Of the American
congress that:
eff war were to break out today, it
would be found that our coast de-
lenses have not sufficient ammunition
for an hours fight"
Whether or not Mr.. Gardeners state
ment is correct can not say, because
do not know; but this do know, that
we do not have the ammunition and
| armament that we have paid for and
should have in return for the count
less millions of dollars of the Ameri-
can peoples money that have been
expended from the public treasury.
l mean to say that those army and
navy officers who do the purchasing of
war munitions and who are paid a sal
airy by the people and are trusted by
the people to see that the government
receives dollars worth Of material
for every dollar expended, have per-
mitted a ring Of ammunition manufac-
turers to outrageously oyercharge
Uncle Sam for armor, guns, powder
and munitions in general.
For instance, the war department
in 1918 purchased seven thousand At
inch shrapnel from the ammunition
ring, paying s25.26 each therefor. At
the same time precisely the same
shrapnel was being manufactured in
the goyernment-owned Frankfort ar
senal for s15.45, all overhead charges
included.
Mr.. Average Citizen, are you willing
that the public officials in the war de
partment who are spending your
money, should pay s25.26 for an ar
ticle that they could have manufac-
tured in government plants for $15.45t

THE PRESIDENTS NEU-
TRALITY.

Colonel George Harvey, who has
just returned from Europe, declares
that President Wilson is the most
unpopular government head in the
world The reason of this is that he
has steadfastly refused to be drawn
into the maelstrom of Europe, although
enforcing superior wisdom and knowl-
edge of international law the rights of
the United States as a strictly and alb
solutely neutral nation Colonel Har-
vey particularly deplores the marked
unpopularity of the president in Lon
don. Our German-American friends,
who have been bombarding Mr.. Wilson
for pro-British leanings and jug
handled neutrality, will have some diff
ficulty in realizing that attitude.
But the fact remains that the presi-
dent has been the recipient of much
abuse in the English press, ranging
from the scurrility Of the yellows"
to the more civilly phrased but effec-
tive intimations of recusancy, spine
lessness and disposition to favor the
central powers, on the part OF the
heavy respectables.
The London Daily News thinks the
Monroe Doctrine has gone by the
board because of the presidents nerve
less complaisance to Germany.
1T is doubtful whether the Monroe
Doctrine will ever be tenable again,
experience having shown that the
United States can no longer rely on
political isolation founded on geogra-
phical detachment, which has largely
lost its meaning. If Germany were
victorious in this war the United
States guarantees Of the independence
of the state of South America would
not be worth the paper on which that
doctrine is written"
The London Times is of the same
mind;
THE president has striven. and is
still striving hard. with the full appro-
baton OF the masses Of the people,
to cling fast to the notion that the
United States can continue to live its
own life, uphold exalted ideals
throughout the new world, and pro-
mote their realization in the old world
without abandoning the splendid isola-
ton she has so long enjoyed. The
hard realities of the situation created
by the war are beginning to show that
the notion Is no longer tenable with
the firm assurance of even last year"
The London Standard roars at the
president for not plunging into the
fray because Of the denominations
wrought in the name of German kul-
tur." So it goes only much worse in
certain sheets of the lesser sort, par
ticularly pictorial rag IA sort of vul-
CARRIED Punch whose highly disre-
spectacle name escapes US.
He that is not for us is against
u.s." that is the general idea. Open
Dartisanship, not detachment OF mind
and an honest effort at neutrality
that is clearly what is wanted. OF
course Colonel Roosevelt's violent full,
limitations against President Wilson
and particularly his preposterous the
Org that our government was obligated
20 rush into the melee because Of the
