by the company keep all visitors at a
distance to prevent the submarine be
ing reached by water from under the
piers. The piling directly around the

MISSING U-BOAT
BACK IN GERMANY
Submarine Which Visited Newport and
Sunk Vessels Off Nantucket Has
Arrived at Naval Base.

BERLIN, via London, Nov. 1.-The
German submarine U-53 has returned
safely to a German port, according to
an official announcement.
The German submarine U-53, com
manded by Lieut.. Capt. Hans Rose, ar
rived at Newport, +. l., from Wilhems-
haven Oct. 7, aud departed after a
stay of three hours. In the course of
the next day the U-53 sank five ships
off the American coast.
Various reports have been current
regarding the submarine, and it was
uncertain whether the craft was re
turning to Germany or had remained
on this side of the Atlantic There
were rumors also that she had been
sunk. 4 search by American warships
for q German secret base along the
New England coast for supplying sub
marines, proved fruitless, according to
naval officers.

field, Mass, with injuries to her head
as the result of an automobile accident
late last night at the bad underpass be-
tween Whateiy and South Deerfield.
DIR. +. 6. Best, who is in charge of her
case, said this morning that her face
was so badly swollen that he had not
been able to determine whether there
was fracture of the skull At the
hospital it is said that her condition is
improved today.
The others who were with Mrs. Stone
were all more or less bruised but not
seriously injured. They were her hus-
band, Bert Stone, teamster, their
daughter, Hazel, Edward c. Harring-
to1 and Barney S. Mead, owner and

Mr.. and Mrs. Stone had engaged Mr.
Mead to take them to Springfield and
get their daughter, who had left her
home recently, and Mr.. Harrington
went with them. They left here early
last evening.
The night was very foggy and the
roads were in bad condition. As. Mr.
Mead approached the underpass, which
has been the scene of several auto
, mobile accidents and which is one of
the worst in Massachusetts, he says he
was running at a moderate pace but in
the fog misjudged the distance and the
car skidded and eollided with the north
abutment. Mrs. Stone was riding in
the car on the side nearest the abut-
ment and was thrown against it, suf-
fering severe injuries to her head. Mr..
Stone was cut about the face, their
daughter was considerably bruised and
Mead hurt the little finger of one hand.
The car was badly damaged.
Mr.. Mead returned to Brattleboro
this morning, but the others remained
in Greenfield until this afternoon when
all but Mrs. Stone planned to return to
their homes here

MEDIA, Pa, Jan. 1O.-The
people of American cannot view
the affairs of our country as OF
extraneous importance and inter-
est. For your statesmen are real
izing that the time OF glorious
isolation has gone by.
In the future welfare and pros
perity Will rest the future welfare
and prosperity of America.
We have many things in COM
mon; many things that are
mutual. China, by her geograph-
ical position, is linked to Amer
lea by the embrace of the great
Pacific.
Contemporaneous with the
opening of the Panama canal
came the capstone of our inter-
national arch of commerce, fell
lowship and cooperation; it was
China's attempt to come into line
with American principles, aims
and nedeavors in great democ-
racy.
But cable advices announce
that democracy lis swept from
China and has been replaced by a
monarchy!
/ ask that you, citizens of this
great land of liberty, be not de-
ceived as to what has been taking
place. THE ELECTIONS, So
GALLEY, ARE FARCICAL.
Did space permit could tell
YOU how the provincial petitions
recommending the monarchy
were faxed in the capital, how
ballots were forged, and how the
Chinese parliament which went
through the formality of electing
Yuan as president, had been or
dered dissolved In February.
1914, and all local legislative
bodies brought into existence by
the republican regime were dis
solved about the same time, how
in their place we're created a
state council filled with the tools
of Yuan Shi Kai.

that kingly institutions were
not in keeping with progress and
