The meeting was the first the fedora

warships of the entente allies, which
are supposed to be scouting along the
coast, but up to darkness none had

Speculation as to the mission of the

Some thought they saw a connection
between the arrival of the ship bear

that peace negotiations have been

WILL MAKE CONCERTED
MOVE TO DANISH POLES
Associations to Demand That All
in Center of Bladensburg
Road Be Removed. ...

DR.. L. D. Walter. vice president of the
Washington Safety First Association
and of the East Washington Citizens
Association, announced last night that
a concerted effort will be made to have
removed from the center Of Bladens-
burg road all the trolley poles of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, the presence of one of which
caused the death in an automobile acct
dent Monday night of William M. Schaf-
fer.
Il am informed" DIR. Walter said,
that the poles between 18th and II
streets and Mount Olivet cemetery have
been removed by the railway COM
pany, in commendable spirit of
safety first; but this will not do; it is
not enough. All the poles in the center
of the road from Mount Olivet cemetery
on out to the end of the line should be
removed from the center of the road.
May Have Conferences.
We are preparing resolution to be
introduced tomorrow night at the meet
ing of the East Washington Citizens
Association, and if it obtains the sup
port we expect it to have we will get to
work on a campaign to have the poles re-
moved. We may have some conferences
with the trolley company officials on the
subject later on.
The Commissioners of the District of
Columbia, announced yesterday, are
also to have conferences with the rail-
way officials. after the Commissioners
inspect all the trolley poles in the Dis
trict, and it was expected last night that
this inspection would take in the poles
in the center of Wisconsin avenue along
the Tenleytown line. and other points
where it is believed that the presence
of poles in the center of roadways makes
for a dangerous condition.

LITERATURE USED IN WEST
BY N. O. MESSENGER.

CHICAGO october 1.-Two man
props are being relied upon to support
President wilson's campaign IN TINS
great western country. namely, appear
to the peace-loving sentiment OIL the
country on the ground that he should
be credited for the nations exemption
from war. and claim upon all LABOR
for having secured the eight-hour
day"
The western bureau of the democratic
national committee has flooded all the
territory from Indiana to the racine
coast with posters. handbills. cards
bearing catchy phrases and argumenta-
tive pamphlets bearing upon these two
topics.
To indicate the kind of campaign the
democratic management is conducting
on the two leading issues, submit
some quotations from their literature
which as stated, is blazing by posters
and flooding by handbills the whole
western country. Here is Sood
starter 1t is small card. bearing the
American flag and likeness OF the
President. On the reverse one reads:

Christ on the battlefield, with the dead
and dying all around him, with the
scream of the shrapnel and the roll of
the cannon, and l can hear the Master
say to Woodrow Wilson, Blessed are
the peacemakers for they shall be
called the children of Cod.

Will Impress American People.

The merchant submarine Deutschland
crossed the Atlantic and returned, but it
is realized that the appearance of an
armed naval underwater boat will create
a much more profound impression, par
ticularly upon the public mind, in this
country.
1t was expected that the visit would
revive Immediately rumors of a German
submarine base on the North Atlantic
coast and Of secret radio stations main
tanned along the American coast line by
German interests for the purpose of com
municating with the undersea boats. For
a submarine patrol off American or Ca
madam ports provision would have to be
made to supply the fuel torpedoes and
food supplies. The average submarine
carries not more than ten or twelve tor
pedoes at most and since the chances
are that several of these would be fired
for every hit recorded it would seem
necessary that reserve supply be kept
close at hand.
While they are without any definite
basis for an opinion, majority OF the
officers around the Navy Department last
night appeared to think it likely that the
U-53 had been sent over as convoy
for slower merchant submarine or with
the view of threatening Canadian trans
ports and ammunition ships sailing from
american ports.

Commander Rose appears to be about
thirty-eight years of age. He is Of
more than medium height, with dark
hair and blue eyes. He wears a pointed
beard and his mustache is cropped
short. About him as he talked to the
newspaper man were grouped four
officers and the crew of thirty-three
members The officers We're in the blue
looked as if their clothes had been
brushed and pressed for the occasion.
The crew wore black oilskins.
Lieut.. Capt. Rose wore a fatigue uni
form with side arms. On his breast
were an iron cross and other decora-
tons. He declined to talk about his
adventuresome trip across the Atlantic,
except to answer a few harmless ques-
lions in a casual way.
I'VE left Wilhelmshaven seventeen
days ago." he said I'VE encountered
heavy seas until we We're off New

generally uneventful. Some days it was
rough and some days it was smooth.

Asked whether he had sighted any
foreign warships off shore, Capt. Rose
asked: Are there any?'

could see plainly many familiar points

for the wireless was just below the

Object of Visit Excites Interest.
While the flying visit of the sub

was the probable object of the visit
and the possible mission of the U-53
on the American coast which Interested
them rather than the mechanical fea-
lures of the boat or the significance
of her trip from Germany as it may
affect naval warfare in general
The distance covered by the subma-
rine from Wilhelmshaven is well with
in the cruising radius of much smaller
vessels than the U-53, including some
of the older craft of the American
navy. However, it is believed, that
even the big ~ boats, which jour
neyed from the North Sea to the Med
iterranean and back long ago. could
not carry enough fuel oil for a round
trip across the Atlantic, as well as
for tour of cruising duty on this
side
For this reason many officers appeared
to believe that the purpose of the trip of
the U-J3 must have been more to give a
demonstration of the possibilities of sub
marine warfare than actually to lie in
wait for British or Canadian vessels
plying across the Atlantic.

without widowing a single American
mother. without firing a single gun or

from the most militant spirit that ever
brooded above battlefield the conces-

From the manual issued to demo-
cratic workers is quoted the following:
president Wilson has kept the United
States out of the most terrible war in
the history of the world. Patiently en-
during criticism from hotheads and
partisans. he asserted the essential
rights of American citizens without
sacrificing the lives of American SOL
diers. While the homes of Europe have
been made desolate, while millions of
men have been butchered and millions
of women have lost husbands and
fathers. the families of America have
enjoyed peace and plenty.
Zone false step would have plunged the
United States into the world war. One
mistake would have brought the wars
terrors to every Amer can home But
President Wilson made no false step He
made no mistake"

been our fate had Candidate Hughes
been our President? Think this over next
