Civil War Veterans.

LONDON, Oct "a prominent
part in all the American war activ-
tiles here since the United States
entered the list of combatants has
been taken by the local Society of the
Civil War Veterans.
The society now numbers only thirty
members, of whom all are over 10
years old, and several Oversee. They
have their headquarters in an old
office building near London Bridge,
where they hold weekly meetings.
Despite their age, they always march
afoot to the American functions, such

Steel Nets Stretch For Miles
AS Safeguard From Submarines
They Are Lifted to Let Friendly Ships Pass Through Entire
Mediterranean is Protected With These Devices.

/ CORFU, Oct. Gravel in the east
ern Mediterranean during these war
days is no easy matter, for the usual
routes of travel are now barred by
long lines of steel nets, set to catch
submarines but at the same time
establishing vast labyrinth of danger
The nets stretch clear across the main
channels, from island to island, and
from the shore islands to the main
land and sometimes ten and fifteen
miles away. Through these nets the
privileged steamer-for all the reg
ular lines are abandoned-must pick
| its way, during the brief interval that
an opening is made daily to permit
the passage of friendly shipping
Seen from the deck of the steamer,
these torpedo nets stretch away for
miles. The visible part above water
consist of steel cylinders, about 70
feet long and three feet in diameter,
like good-sized log. These are
chained together about 30 feet apart,
and at intervals of every 300 feet a
largt anchored buoy holds the chain
in an unbroken straight line. Thus
the chain runs for CYLINDERS
and buoys-with the meshes of the
steel net hanging under the water
from the chain, to gather In sub
marines just as fishermen make their
hauls of herring.
One gets occasional glimpses of this
under-sea water net, as it come to the
surface on the station ships. These
are small trawlers, or steam fish
launches, every mile or two apart, and
two of them are at either side of the
narrow passage admitting friendly
ships. 1t is their business to raise
the net as stated, and to look over
the papers of the ships that pass.
AS We moved through the passage
the steel net was plainly visible
drawn up on the station ship. 1t
looked to be about IL to Is feet across.
The strands of steel were very heavy
about one-eighth of an inch and
the mesh rather open, as subma-
rine is such very large game that a
fine net is not needed to take it. 1t
was seen, too, that each of the station
ships had its own armor of nets max
ing a curtain of steel entirely circling
each boat, thus protecting it from at
tack while it remained in charge of
the nets. Each ship, too, it was noted,
had a rapid-fire gun mounted fore
and aft.
One line of these nets stretched from

JAPAN APPRECIATES COURTESY
SHOWN IT'S VISITING EMBASSY

TOXIC, Oct. 6.-The cordial re-
ception given tot Viscount Ishii in
the United States caused a favorable
impression throughout Japan and has
called forth appreciative comment
The semi-offiical Jan Times regards
the reception as unprecedented in
Japanese experience in its hearty
cordially the honor and respect paid
and in the enthusiasm of its demon
stration. The newspaper adds: THE
Embassy's journey from Honolulu to
Washington has indeed been a vert
able series of royal receptions in the
best sense of the term, in which was
embodied American hospitality. and
sincerity on a most generous and
majestic scale, for which the Amer
leans are additionally noted. All
this is most gratifying to Japan and
the Japanese. The honor due to Wis
count Ishii has been done to Japan
and the Japanese. Japan and the
Japanese cannot but feel and appre-
ciate most profoundly the expressions
of the cordial friendship and of the
reality of war time alliance made
through Viseount Ishii."

seemed endless, and dts further
reaches were lost in the distance. An
other line swung around the harbor
of Corfu. where the allied warships
are gathered and the government of
Serbia is located since it was driven

line of these nets extend from the
southeast point of the island over to
the mainland Back of the nets could
be seen the huge warships and the
frowning fortresses. constructed on
the heights by the Venetians. 1t
seemed strange that strands of steel
wire could protect such fortresses

Greasy saIves and ointmesits should not
be applied if good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 35c, or $1.00 for
extra large size, get a bottle of zemo.
When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and
heals skin troubles, also sores, burns,
wounds and chatting. 1t penetrates, cleanses
and soothes. Zemo is clean, dependable
and inexpensive, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid. Try it, as we believe nothing you

dispatch.
II this is anywhere near true, San
Francisco will bear watching, for IL she

no other city in the country that can't
do H.
The killing at San Francisco has pro-
:eeded thus:
The police close al open and tolerated
houses Of ill-repute.
The free and easy practices in cafes
and other liquor serving places are abol-
shed.
This is clearly wise step because the

There's no question but these things
