NAVY TO GUARD
U. S. NEUTRALITY
Warships Being Prepared
for Coast Patrol if At
taCkS Continue.

Washington, Oct. a.-The Navy De-
partment took steps to-day to be ready
to establish a patrol of warships cling
the north Atlantic coast TO make GER
tain that American neutrality is not
violated by the German submarine
raids on Allied shipping.
No orders were sent TO the Atlantic
feet or commandants of navy, yards.
but department officials began making
ready all craft of the active and re-
serve fleet which could be assigned TO
the patrol duty should developments
make it necessary to establish watch
along the three-mile limit
Some neutral European countries
have been compelled to protect their
territorial waters against violation. in
which British. German and Russian
ships have been involved. In some
cases ships sighted on the high seas
were pursued into neutral waters By
submarines. American officials are de-
termined that no ships shall be at
tackled in American waters.
Navy officers say their preparations
are more for developments rather than
any immediate emergency. The Ger
man underwater craft operating of
Nantucket Shoals, it was said. have
shown no disposition thus far TO vio-
late American neutrality, but officials
wish to be ready to establish the patrol
without delay.
Secretary Daniels gave high praise
to-day to the Atlantic destroyer foti!la
for saving the lives of those compelled
TO take to the small boats yesterday.
A record for quick action probably was
established when the destroyer Jarvis
nut to sea from Newport within fifty
six minutes after the sos call from
the torpedoed steamer West Point was
received. Fifteen minutes later six
teen other destroyers had followed the
Jarvis.
Secretary Daniels made it plain that
the only immediate interest Of the
Navy Department had been to do every
thing within its powe, 20 prevent loss
of life. That attitude may be described
as the policy Of the government in
regard to the submarine operations in
progress of the Atlantic Coast at least
until such time as developments shall
warrant some other action.

Rotterdam, Oct. 9.-The Holland
America Line is still awaiting news
from its New York Office regarding he

President Germany
Will Obey Law.
MENACE is SEEN
IF RAIDS GO ON
TeutOns Must Prove No
Lives ImperilIed by
Sinkings.
tFrom /, s,sn Correspondent, Of Tn. Tnbune.l

lFrom , s,sr Correspondent, Of The Tnbunel
Long Branch, n. j., Oct. 9.-The
situation brought about by the T.
boat raids off Nantucket has grave
possibilities. This was indicated to-
night, when President Wilson sum-
moned Secretary Lansing from
Washington for conference here to-
morrow.
Earlier in the day the President
had announced that Germany would
be held to complete fulfilment of its
promises" Then came a conference
with Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man Ambassador, who had no Off
cial advices from Berlin, but said ne
had every reason to believe that Ger
many would Give up to her promises
in the future as she had in the past.
Blockade Holds Danger.
The danger in the situation does
not lie in the fact that single sub
marine sank six or more vessels off
the American coast. 1t lies in the
possibility that the one raid may be
the forerunner of more, and that the
U-boats may establish what is prac-
tically a blockade of the American
ports.
There is nothing in the reports re-
ceived by Administration officials 50
far to indicate that the German COM
mander violated Berlin's pledges.
The concern felt in official quarters
here is over what might happen if
the raids are continued.
That the President appreciates the
seriousness of the situation is indi-
Gated from the fact that he immedi-
ately got into communication with Sec
retary Lansing and, after cancelling
his proposed visit TO the worlds series
ball game tomorrow, summoned the
Secretary 20 meet MN mere to-Horro"
evening. Meanwhile Mr.. Lansing has
been asked to obtain all official infor-
nation possible concerning the opera
tions of the U-boat or boats.
Moreover, the President set aside his
custom of making his statements con-
cerning Official problems in the third
person and issued this statement:
"The government will, of course,
first inform itself as to all the
facts, that there may be no mistake
or doubt so far as they are con-
cerned. and the country may rest
assured that the German govern
ment will be held 90 the complete
fulfilment CT its promises to the
government of the United States.

their Willingness to fulfil them

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Aside from all kinds of comedy, the
Keystone, His Hereafter" at the Ma
jestic today and tomorrow, is worth
seeing for some of the spectacular
scenes. A real gambling house is
shown with all the paraphernalia of
the games of chance The locale is
a western town and the cowboys and
townsmen are equipped with belts and
guns. A big event in the comedy is
a hold-up near the town and there is
a very realistic fight. While it is fun
ny, it is full of thrills and the way
men are shot off their horses makes
the onlookers think that they are
really risking their necks in the fall.
A big thunderstorm occurs in the play.
The lightning flashes and the rain
falls necessarily. Men are women are
shown in terror of the elements and
seeking shelter, while horses and cat
tie race madly in their excitement.

AT THE COLUMBIA.

Manager Blanchard of the Columbia,
Davenport, announces that there will
be a special excursion today at his
theatre. He has booked an eXtraOrdin-
airy attraction, and has been under a
great expense in doing so, having Sc
cured the best, latest and most catch
lest musical comedy on the road this
season, This Way Ladies'" heralded
all over the country as an excursion
to laughland." This Way, Ladies" is
not musical comedy of the ordinary
class of musical shows, because it is
on the latest and newest style. 1t is
a musical melange with a plot and
good wholesome, clean comedy, that
never fails to send the audience home
in good humor. Bright comedy and
jingling music and an unsurpassed
young beauty chorus of real terpsi,
choreans are among the many prom
lses of the management. Halton
Powell, considered as the Youngest
and most successful musical comedy
producer west of New York, is re-
sponsible for this musical comedy ex-
travaganza and This Way, Ladies"
will surely be up to the high standard
of his many other musical comedies.

CONCERN STATES
RATE REDUCTION
Peoples Power Company Declares
Schedule Submitted 10 Rock Island
Is Easily Understood.

Officials of the Peoples Power COM
pany stated today that the new gas
and electric rates submitted to Rock
Island city officials would result in a
very substantial reduction in rates for
both gas and electricity, particularly
for the small consumer.
The rates proposed for the majority
of the gas and electric customers are
very simple, and easily understood and
applied" an official of the power COM
pany said ITO consumers desiring to
comply with special conditions the
company has offered purely optional
rates. which may appear complicated,
but which form OF rates is in common
use
The maximum rate under the new
schedules will be 8 cents net per kilo-
watt hour for electricity, and 80 cents
net per thousand cubic feet for gas.
and will result in straight reductions
of 1876 per cent for all electric Gus
toners whose bills are under 1925
per month, and of 10 per cent for all
residence gas consumers.
These reductions are made in spite
of large increases in cost of all mater
ial entering into the production OF both
gas and electricity: the price Of gas
oil having doubled in the last four
months. and the cost of coal and coke
having increased very materially. The
price of copper is double that of a
year ago and the price of gas pipe and
other material has increased almost as
much
The price of gas and electricity he
been reduced. while every other corl-
modify which enters into the cost OF
living has increased in price very
greatly. That the rates are submitted
in good faith is assured by the fact
that it will be necessary to submit
them to the state public utilities COM
mission of Illinois for approval after
they have been accepted by the city
officials"
