Official Statement.
The Navy Department made this
official statement:
"The destroyer recently mentioned
in dispatches made public as being
injured by torpedo, was the U. S. S.
Cassin, commanded by Commander
w. N. Vernon, executive officer;
Lieut.. j. w. McLaran, junior officer;
Lieut.. j. A. Saunders, Lieut.. L. R.
Agrell, Lieut.. r. M. Parkinson and
Asst. Surg. D. w. Queen.
"While this vessel was on her pa
troll station submarine was sighted
on the surface at about five miles dis
tant. The Cassin Immediately pro-
ceeded at full speed ahead on both
engines, put her crew at their battle
stations. She searched the area for
thirty minutes zigzagging back and
forth, when the commanding officer,
Commander Vernon, sighted tor
pedo running at high speed near the
surface about 400 yards away, head
ed to strike the Cassin amidship.
"Realizing the situation the COM
manding officer ordered the cmer-
gency full speed ahead on both en-
gines, but the ruddcr hard over, and
was just clear of the torpedo's course
when it broached the surface, turned
sharply towards the vessel and struck
the stern of the Cassin.
Fortunately only one engine was
disabled, thereby permitting the de-
stroyer to remain under way, circling
in search of the submarine.
"After about an hour the. subma-
rine exposed it's coming tower long
enough for the Cassin to fire four
shots. Two Of the shots fell so close
to the submarine that it was not seen
again. The Cassin continued to
search until dark, when, having been
Joined by other British and American
patrol vessels, she was taken safely

given.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarralhal deafness, AMI that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamcd you have rumbling sound
OF imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
sule. Unless the Inflammation car
be reduced and this tube restored tc
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Mcdi-
cine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.

QUICK WORK SAVED
DESTROYER CASSIN
Admiral Sims Gives Special Credit
to Commander Vernon and
Praises Others.
STORY OF THE ENCOUNTER
After Being Struck Destroyer, Con-
tinuing Search, Fired at U-Boat
-Four Times.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Coolness and
quick manoeuvering by Commander
Walter Fl. Vernon probably saved the
American destroyer Cassin from de-
struction in an encounter with Ger
man submarine in the war zone on
October 16, the Navy Department
was advised today by Vice Admiral
Sims in his full report of the fight,
meager details of which were receiv-
ed last week.
Before she had an opportunity to
fire shot, the destroyer was hit on
the stern by torpedo, which killed
Gunners' Mate Osmond Kelly Ingram,
of Pratt City, Ala, slightly wounded
five others of the crew and put one
engine out Of commission.
The Cassin had been searching half
an hour for a submarine first sighted
five miles away when Commander Ver-
nou suddenly saw torpedo 400 yards
distant and made for the ship at
great speed. Realizing that his ves-
sci was in imminent danger of being
hit amidshps and broken in two, the
commander ordered full speed ahead,
and the wheel hard over. The patrol
boat was just clear of the torpedo's s
path when the projcctiIe broached on
the surface, turned sharply and hit it's
objective.
Fires on U-BOat.
Recovering quickly from the shock
of the explosion, the Cassin contin-
ucd the search to be rewarded by the
showing of the U-Boat's coming
tower. Four shots were sent at the
submarine and two came so close that
the submarine quickly went under
again.
The destroyer continued it's hunt
until darkness. Later conveyed by
other American and British patrol
boats she made port. In the mean
time officers and men had made tenn
porary repairs.
Admiral Sims reported that the be-
havior of the officers and the entire
crew was admirable. He gave spe-
cial credit to Commander Vernon and
commended Lieuts. McLaran, Saund,
ers and Parkinson for their ingenuity
in affecting repairs and for their cool,

JAPs scoFF BERLIN PROPOSAL
Can Not Imagine What Germany Was
Thinking Of, Officials Declare
Idaho Case Queted.

Tokio.-The declaration of the Jap.
anese government, through Foreign
Minister Viscount Motono, that Japan
has received no proposition from
Mexico or Germany to join in pos
sible war against the United States
was supplemented on behalf Of the
government by Kijuro Shidehara, vice
foreign minister.
I'VE were greatly surprised to hear
of the German proposal" he said We
can not imagine what Germany is
thinking about to conceive that she
could possibly involve us in war with
the United States merely by asking
Mexico. This Is too ridiculous for
words. Needless to say, Japan re
mains faithful to her allies"
In response to question regard
ing Japan's attitude toward the anti
Japanese measures which were pu
forward in Idaho and Oregon, M. Shi
dehara said he had especially request
ed newspapers to refrain from in
flammatory comment, advising tina
the matter be left for treatment II
diplomatic channels.
1t was noticeable that the agitation
did not approach that of the time
the matter was brought up in Cali
fornia in 1913 and it is doubtful i
the masses of the people were ever
cognizant of the Oregon and Idaho

SENATOR STONE A SENSATION
Missouri Senator Exposes, in Oper
Session, Naval Secrets.

SESSION, naval oeCretS.
Washington, March 3.-Naval Off
GERS and administration officials are
incensed at Senator Stones disclos-
ure in the senate debate today that
the navy had planned equipping mer-
chant ships with light, swift subma-
rine chasers to guard them against
submarines in the prohibited zones.
They regarded it as fortunte that
more of their plans had not been
disclosed in the heat of the senator s
opposition to the armed neutrality
bill, but were chagrined that SO much
had been said, especially in view of
the fact that the senate only recent
ly, at the request Of the military
departments, passed bill making 1t
crime to publish the government s
secrets.
Secretary Daniels was in the cap
itol when Senator Stone made his
statement, but refrained from max
ing comment. Naval officers were

The Oath.
When the president took the oath
at the public ceremony the chief JUS
tice stepped forward, Bible in hand
to administer the oath of office. He
repeated, and the president touched
his lips to the Bible, repeated after
him, this oath prescribed by the Con-
stitution:
Il do solemnly swear that will
faithfully execute the office OF presi-
dent of the United States and will
to the best of my ability, preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution
of the United States"
The next thing on the program was
the delivery of the presidents ad-
dress. At it's conclusion most of the
party except the president and vice
president and their escorts returned
to the capitol while the president and
vice president, with their escorts
headed the inaugural procession to
the White House.
When the procession reached the
court of honor directly in front of the
executive mansion it halted while the
president, vice president and their
parties took places in the reviewing
stand. Then the procession passed
along, disbanding little further on.
The procession moved by in a
steady stream Of marchers, requiring
eleven hours to pass the reviewing
stand. State delegations sang their
state hymns, southern delegations
gave the shrill rebel yell, Grand Ar
my veterans trudged past giving
cheers, the midshipmen and West
Point cadets marched by "eyes left
and the many military organizations
passed at salute All during the Ger
emonies, which became physically ex
hausting, the president stands, head
uncovered, acknowledging greetings.
BY the time the last Of the march
ers passed it was dark, the great
green expanse at the foot of the
Washington monument came the
sound of exploding bombs. Then came
display of fireworks. The presi
dent and his family saw this spec
tacle from the south windows of the
executive mansion. 1t was past mid
night before the last of it was over
