NAVAL EXPERT BELIEVES OPERATIONS OF U=BOATS
 MAY CAUSE SEA BATTLE

Washington, Oct. 9.-"As I see it," said an expert, of the navy department today, "the Ul53 is here for double purpose. First, the German admiral that the Kaiser's submarines can cross the ocean prepared for battle and con- duct aggressive operations on this side without securing supplies from this country.
 Second, such German strategy will compel Great Britain to send a much larger number of naval vessels to this side of the ocean, thus weakening the forces in the war zone and giving submarines and other German naval vessels there a better chance to oper- ate with success.
 Should sufficiently large number of light British ships be sent across the Atlantic, another engagement be- tween British and German forces in the North sea might be looked for,
 Motor Boats Available
 "It is probable that Great Britain has numerous fast motor boats fin Canadian waters that can be utilized as part of the patrol off American ports. Many fast motor boats are be- ing built in this country for the allies, but they cannot be turned over here for military use, since that would be a violation of neutrality. They could, however, be shipped across the Cana dian line and there converted into submarine chasers.
 My conviction that Germany has established a submarine base or bases on this side of the Atlantic is much stronger today than yesterday It is up to the great newspapers like The World to do their part in locating these bases, if they exist. If the bases are not in United States territorial waters, we could do no more after finding them than take our hats off to the ingenuity of the Cermarrnaval ex- perts. If one or more of them should be located on the American coast, it's presence would constitute grave breach of neutrality and might lead to serious consequences.

Long Branch. N. J., Oct. 9-Back from his triumphal trip to Omaha, President Wilson, from the potch of Shadow Lawn, Saturday, delivered the second purely political address of the campaign, smashing back at his po- litical enemies and poking fun at Col Roosevelt and Republican Candidate Hughes that provoked roars of laugh ter from an audience of more than 2,500 men and women.
 The President, without mentioning the Colonel by name, called him "the only articulate voice-a very articu- late voice"-in the Republican party, "at whose announcements the rest in private shiver and demur." Further referring to T. R. as "the active and vocal parts of the party

 Captain Hans Rose, her commando CT, said that he was r days on the way from Wilhelmshaven and had come in to mail letter to. Ambassa- dor Bernstorff.
 At dusk the stranger pointed her nose out of the harbor and in the open water off Brenton's Reef Light ship submerged and for few hours all trace of her was lost
 Naval officers still speculated to day as to the remarkable cruising possf- bilities of the submersible which per- mitted her to make so long and so difficult a voyage through enemy-con- trolled seas without need of supplie of any nature. Shippers of munitions to the allies speculated pneasily as to the number of submarine raiders in the center of the freight trade route from Atlantic coast ports to Europe. Speculation even touched upon the rumor, impossible to run down, that ther aiding was made in America that her parts were assembled at a secret base on this side of the Atlantic where she was launched.
 The rumor broadened to include re- ports that stores of petrol and other supplies had been spirited out of American ports and deposited in mar inc caches. 7

Not one of the human family is so blessed as to be without an enemy. or all the enemies that are to be dreaded most are the invisible ones that work from ambush. Like the treacherous Mexican, they sneak up on you and strike when you least expect it. Few people seem to realize the many dan gers that beset their everyday paths. These much to be feared invisible ene- mics in the guise of germs are lurking everywhere. There arc in the air we breathe and food we eat. For if you stop to think a minute, there are only two ways that germs can enter the system from without. One is through the stomach, the other through the lungs. But by far the most elusive and destructive are those created within your body through the action of tonic poisons formed in the intes- tines and kidneys. Those that cause the most pain and suffering are the germs of rheumatism, which, like imps go tearing around the system, first here, then there, and with their uric acid weapons torture their vic- tims unmercifully. Authorities claim that rheumatism arises in the kidneys and is poison that gets into the blood and lodges in the joints, back. shoul- ders and neck, and sometimes In the feet and ankles. Thousands of suffer- CTS from this common malady, whose terrible suffering none can understand who have not had the disease, will be interested to know that scores of peo- pie here in Bridgeport have found quick relief with the new Wilderb treatment.

Abraham in Swiss Moun- tain Climbs" was the adventure which befell an amateur and his young guide. In passing along the dangerous final cornice it suddenly gave way under the amateur, and he went fyins through space to apparent destruction. The guide at the other end of the rops seemed in hopeless plight, but with astounding presence of mind he f1uns himself down the opposite side of the ridge, thus saving two lives.

Hidino Places For Money.

The woman who, as just revealed in the law courts, hid her savings on her mothers grave in Forest Hill cemetery probably hit upon unique cache. But there is no saying. The person who mistrusts savings banks generally looks around for the most unlikely spot in which to deposit wealth, and more than one may hit on the same idea.

 From the point of view of the inn mediate market the comparative ease of money in so big a speculation is the impressive fact that it looks as though it would continue. The reason is that the Federal Reserve system will take care of commercial require ments in event of any pinch. There has been none yet.
 eff the Federal Reserve were not an established fact we would have seen 50 per cent. money on call before this, and would have been unable to give two billions of credit and loans to Europe. We have not had to fall back on this resource because the ba nks of East, West and South have known it is there and ready.

of which took their lives in their hands when they sailed from Wilhelmshaven, present a serious problem to the Ad- miralties of the allies. Means must be devised immediately for protecting their shipping It is possible that the British Admiralty already has taken adequate measures. I have cruised along the coast and seen three British ships together. At other. times I have seen more. Nobody here knows how many of them are assigned to patrol duty along our co&St and in nearby waters.
 q expect the U-53 to get lot more British ships. It is only to be expected that all allied merchant ships leaving American ports from now on will go armed with light guns for defense. In all proba bility, however. the U-53 car ries guns of calibre sufficient to enable her to keep out of the range of guns of merchant ships and still be in her work by shell fire, if unable to use her torpedoes.
 Serious Blow to Shipping.
 "Unquestionably, the presence of the will have serious effect on merchant shipping. Many vessels scheduled to sail yesterday and today are reported still at their docks. Other ships have scattered broadcast over the nearby Atlantic, making a point to get off the steamer lanes. This means a general disarrangement of shipping schedules, which, in turn, means more or less se- rious embarrassment to the allies
 'The possibility that more German U boats accompanied the U53 also is certain t) increase the panicky feeling in shipping circles. A considerable panic developed immediately on the receipt of news that the U-53 had reached Newport.
 ''In some respects, 1t is we'll that the U-53 took no supplies of any kind from Newport, because that left no ground whateer for legitimate complaint from the allies regarding her presence in an American port. She is conducting her warfare on supplies brought with her, or secured from a secret base on this side.
 "So long as the German U boats keep outside American territorial waters and conduct their operations in ac- cordance with international law, the United States government cannot com- plain of their presence
