It is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and SIM
liar skin troubles. A little zemo. gotten
at any drug store for Csc, or $1.OO for
extra large bottle, and promptly applied
will usually give instant relief from itch
skin and heals quickly and effectively
most skin diseases.
Zemo is wonderful disappearing liquid
and does not smart the most delicate skin.

Brazilian Plan Of
League Of Neutfals
to Aid Trade Interests

Washington, Nov. Full details OF
the recent proposal to the Brazilian
Parliament by the Brazilian Society of
International Law for the formation of
a league of neutrals to resist trade re-
strictions and other encroachments by
belligerents were made public here
today through the official gazette of
the Brazilian Parliament. The pro-
posed league would consist of all pres
ent neutrals and would spring auto
maticaly into effect whenever another
war broke out.
The society, in an exhaustive report,
reviews the constant Entertainments
by belligerents on neutral trade and
urges the government to take imme-
date steps to secure the cooperation
of all neutrals for the declaration of a
uniform service of neutral rights and
for their enforcement of the same.
Rights suggested are the immunity of
enemy goods under a neutral flag,
complete liberty of trade between neu-
trail nations regardless of ultimate des-

Mrs. Wilson passed through this city
today on their way from Williamstown,
Mass, to Washington. They passed

place and at the railroad station crowds
cheered the President. -
The Presidents automobile became
stalled for a moment on a steep hill
above the Hudson river landing and
several men pressed forward and shook
his hand.
Just before his special train left here
the President appeared on the back
platform and shook hands with several
trainmen. One OF them shouted:
Thanks for the eight-hour law"
Mr.. Wilson bowed and smiled.
In the Presidents party were his
daughter. Miss Margaret Wilson. and
his cousin, Miss Helen Woodrow Bones.
They boarded the Mayfiower at
Rhinecliff. On the way from the yacht
to the railroad station the Presidents
automobile passed the hotel where
Charles E. Hughes is staying. :

COLUMBIAN CASE
TO BE LAID BEFORE
THE PRESIDENT

washington, Nov. 12.-The case of the
American steamer Columbian, reported
sunk off the Spanish coast, will be laid
before President Wilson by the state de-
'partment early next week as part Of
general summary of recent submarine op-
-erations, construed by some officials as
forecasting a radical change in the Ger
man policy.
Information regarding the Columbian
was so incomplete Saturday night that no
official would predict what part the case
might play in final determination of this
governments course. Late in the day the
American consul at Balboa forwarded the
report that the vessel has been sunk 30
miles off Cape Ortegal and her crew saw
I'd. but no details were given. The dis
batch Immediately was called to the at
tention of Secretary Lansing.
Points to be cleared up before a de-
cision is reached involve the question of
whether the vessel. was fired upon with
out warning. whether she carried contra
band and whether she attempted to es-
cape.
All available facts regarding the Co.
lumbian will be collected as soon as pos
sible. Information in the Marina, Arabia
and Llanao cases also is still incomplete,
but every report so far regarding these
vessels will be placed before the Presi-

British patrol ship, flying the Ameri-

submarine U-51, deliberately ran down
a rowboat containing the two survi-
vors of the submarines crew in an
endeavor to remove the only witnesses.

north of the Constanza- Tchernavoda
railway. begun last week, the Russo
Rumanian forces have been enabled to
push back Field Marshal Won Mack

the towns of TOPAZ and Karanasuf.
In the Pennsylvania zone the Rus
slams have gradually reinforced the
Rumanians on the northern section of
the line until they are now fighting
side by side with them over q front Of
about SO miles south of the Bukowina
border. The latest official communi-
cations from both Bucharest and Pet

German positions in the Trotus and
Alt valleys and the repulse of attacks
at various points. Near the Oiluz pass

of disaffections against the minority
leader as a candidate for Speaker.
AS the Democrats apparently will be In
the minority some of the friends Of

less he can be elected speaker they pre-
fer that he abandon the race and be-

post he held for many years before the
Democratic ascendency in 1910. Such q
development might precipitate lively
contest within the Democratic ranks with
Claude Kitchin, the present majority lead

Until all the votes are counted and GER

tanned in Preliminary
Report
Sessions Held by Special Board
Headed by Admiral knight

Newport, II. L., Nov. IAN outline
of the dutie3 and equipment of the
volunteer mdtorboat patrol as an arm
of naval defense is understood to be
contained in a preliminary report for
warded to the Navy department today
by special board to investigate the
possibilities of these boats for scout
ing and other purposes. The special
board consisting of seven officers,
headed by Rear Admiral Austin NJ
knight, has been in session during the
past week at the Narragansett Bay
naval station.
Motor boat units will be known as
naval district scouts and the fleet as
the naval district scouting patrol if
the recommendations of the board are
approved. Among the duties suggested
for the craft are harbor entrance pa
troll, mine field patrol, coast patrol
dragging for mines, dispatch duty
searching for and attacking subma-
rines, cooperation with submarines
and air craft and cooperation with the
land forces in defense of the naval
district
Four types of boats are understood
to be included in the boards recon-
mendations A boat of the first type
must be not less than 40 feet in length
with a speed of not less than seven
knots an hour and capable of sustain
ing four men for four days. This type
is to be equipped with one machine
gun and a one FOUNDER. The second
type is of similar dimensions and
equipment except that boats must be
capable of a speed OF not less than 1G

Boats of the third type are to be
not less than 60 feet in length with a
speed of 10 knots an hour and capable

he not less than 16 knots and equip.
ment shall include a gun not smaller

The board recommends that al
boats be built to be able to maintain
their stations in a moderate gale ant
have a mast for signalling.
In times of peace, the board is sale
to recommend that owners of tn,
boats serve on their own craft if they
so desire, but not necessarily whe1

emergency. Four weeks of preliminar!
training, followed by a three-week
cruise each year is proposed.
