GERMANY WILL
AGREE TO keep

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL Germany
is expected to agree not to try to
blockade American ports with her
submarine fleet She will, however,
insist on her right to operate generally
along the regular steamship lanes IN
her attacks upon enemy commerce"
That will be the position which will
be assumed when this government re-
iterates to Germany similar protest
to that which was made against the
Anglo-French operations off the big
harbors of the Atlantic coast, accord
ing to diplomatic officials here who
know the facts. Germany. it was said,
already has considered the effect sub
marine operations on this side of the
ocean would have on American public
sentiment and the trip of the U-53
and U-61 was for the purpose of bring

NUMBER OF men
WHO WILL VOTE

According to the enumeration Of
Wayne county voters taken in 1914.
there are only about 359 voters in the
county who are not properly register
ed to vote in the November elections.
The total registration in the fifty
six precincts which had reported at
noon today was 1856. This includes
the names which were copied from
the 1914 registration books. Consid-
ering that the remaining nine pre-
cincts will at least be equal to the
registrations Of 1914-1,605. the total
registration for the county will be 49,
421. It is safe to assume that the
registrations in the precincts which
have not yet reported will at least be
as large as in 1914 and county officials
estimate that they will amount to
more The enumeration Of 1913 shows
that there were 1890 voters in the
county.
Because Of an increase in popula-
ton this enumeration is considered
somewhat small.
Total registrations in 1914 amount.

WILSON TO STOP
HERE 5 MINUTES
ON THURSDAY

For a second time this year Wood.
row Wilson, president OF the United
states, will pay brief visit to Rich.
mond, tomorrow morning. enroute to
Indianapolis where he will attend the
state centennial celebration.
President Wilson's special car WILL
be attached to the Pennsylvania train
which arrives in this city at 1:1O
o'clock in the morning, departing five
minutes later for Indianapolis.
AS Richmond this fall is to celebrate
the centennial anniversary Of the
founding Of the city a telegram was
sent to President Wilson several days
ago urging him to make a brief ad-
dress from the platform of his private
car while in the Richmond union sta.
ton. However, no information has
been received as to whether the presi.
dent intends to comply with this re-
quest.
Democratic state headquarters at In
d1anapolis was unable to announce to-
day whether President Wilson would
speak while in Richmond, but was in
clined to the belief that he would not
make a speech here. 1t is probable,
however, that he will address a few
words to the crowd which will un-
doubtedly fill the train shed for the
purpose of greeting the nations chief
executive.
The president will be accompanied
by his wife and by a staff of secret
service men and White House attach
ees. He will deliver two addresses
while in Indianapolis.

U. S. SEARCHES
CONTINENT FOR
GERMAN BASES

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - The
United States has now in progress one
of the most comprehensive searches
ever undertaken. It's object to de-
termine absolutely whether there is a
German U-boat base on American ter
ritory. British and French agents in
New York and Boston have said that
there was and that parts for subma-
rines were being made here and sent
to an INDICATED point for assembly
The entire resources of the state
department, the navy department and
the department of justice are being
used to investigate this allegation al
though officials declare that it is their
opinion there is no truth in it. It is
realized however, that such a base
may have been established near the
West Indies or along the coast of
Central America Naval officers, how
ever, doubt this theory and declare
that the German submarines are being
supplied by mother ships which
either ship from neutral countries or
slip through the blockade as the
Moewe did.

American coast are mothered by the
subsea boat Deutschland was ex-
pressed here by Henry o. Bird of New
