NO U-BOATS TRIED
 ID HALT ST. LOUIS.
Tense Moments Aboard As Liner Sped Through Submarine Zone
FULL SPEED AHEAD ORDERED

Ship at Any Minute, Should Attack
 Occur-Fragmcnts of Other Craft
 Encountered.
 London, March 26, Delayed by censorship.) From Staff Correspon- dent of the Associated Press.-The St. Louis. the first passenger vessel carrying the American flag to cross the Atlantic since Germany's declara- ton of unrestricted submarine de- struction and the first armed Ameria can liner to enter European port since the war began, arrived this morning. She carried a meager num- Der of passengers.-33 all told, but her holds, were filled to capacity with non-contraband freight.
 The St. Louis came through with out interruption. No submarines were sighted, nor were there at any time any indications that German under-sea boats were after the big liner. If any of them saw the St. Lo1ais they made no attempt to de- stroy her, but kept carefully away from the guns of the American ship.
 But signs of war were not lacking, within the last three days which were anxious ones for passengers and crew alike. On Friday and again on Saturday after the St. Louis entered the forbidden zone, driftwood was passed--apparently parts of destroy ed life boats. Yesterday a great field ol oil was encountered.
 Vague rumors of the sinking of the ships ahead or near the St. Louis in- creased the nervous tension. For three days and nights the captain did not leave the bridge. and never in her twenty-two years of existence has the American ship been driven so furi- ously as she, was from the time she passed into the zone until she was pdcked up by pilot.
 The journey was without incident until the war zone was reached. Unusual precautions were taken as soon as the liner passed the Ambrose Nght, but as she neared the danger point eNan thAs life srafts,s and coll lapsible ~toats were made ready for immediate~ use. Reflectors were strung up fore and aft. and carbide lights were tied along the rails for use in the event the St. Louis became the victim of a torpedo or gun fire.
 From the moment the St. Louis entered the danger zone until she reached comparatively safe waters the word in the engine room was to ''give her all she can stand" For 48 hours the big vessel tore along at top speed Meanwhile the passengers slept but little, remaining in the reading room with life belts ready. Long before daybreak yesterday with the land still far below the horizon, most of the pas apngers were on deck. watching just as anxiQusly as the men on the bridge for signs of hostile submarines. Then suddenly out of the haze shot British patrol vessels. Instructions were sig nailed. The St. Louis responded and ontinued her journey, while the sub. marine hunters bore away on theil ceaseless vigil.

Boy Hops Auto;
Thro,un OF, Head

The grave danger that turks In boys
hopping" autos to get ridee was shown
during the noon hour today when
Archie Kenworth. aged years pupil
in the Arson school, and son Of Mr..
and Mrs. H. W. Kenworth, 401h May
street was perhaps seriously injured
when thrown from a car on which ne
had hoped for a ride. He struck the
road with his head. When picked up
he was unconscious, and the physician
who was called, and who removed the
lad to his home, thought 1t was SER
ious ease of concussion Of the brain.
The case may or may not develop
seriously.
Small boys who hop automobiles do
not realize the risks they are taking IN
catching on cars. Automobile owners
realize the dangers and are powerless
to avoid it. without deliberately stop
ping their cars. Parents and teachers
could aid by impressing on children
the danger before some child is killed

PARTNER WOULD DISSOLVE.
Court Petitioned to End Partnership
of ketchum and CASTOR Company.

William E. Castor, partner of E. 5.
ketchum in the wholesale implement
business Of the ketChum and CASTOR
Company, has filed "a petition in the
distI.>,t court asking for the appoint
ment OF a receiver to close out the
business of the partnership. Failure Of
the partners to agree on terms for the
dissolution of the partnership are al
legged to be the reasons behind the APP
pliCation. 1t is averred for Castor that
he desires 10 withdraw, but that his
partner has declined TO enter into
settlement OF agreement for the dis
solution and has refused to sell his in
terest to CASTOR on the latter's offer
1t is further set out that both part
nerS desire to dissolve the partnership,
and that the business may suffer from
this condition because of the necessity
Of renewing and closing contracts with
dealers. Assets of real and personal
property are listed Of a total of $4,000,
with obligations and debts of $4,000.
The petition says each of the partners
owes the partnership s2,042.15. InClud-
ed in the assets, as listed, is $4,000 the
partnership investment in the real es-
tate and building occupied by the
business. The petition sets out that
the property is best suited for this
especial business or some similar bust
ness
The partnership has been in existence
since Nov l, 1903, under an oral agree
ment, Castor being the travelling sales
man and ketchum the manager Of the
business. The latter, when asked for
statement in addition to what the
petition contained said that he was
satisfied with the Companys business
and would probably continue it but
that he had been unwilling to pay
CASTOR the price asked and did not
want to sell at the price offered. He
had hoped to negotiate a satisfactory
settlement privately and was surprised
that his partner should take this meth
Cd Of forcing sale of his interest in
the business.

HE HAS IRON
IN HIS RLOOD

That is why he is such a great win
ner, accomplishes so much, why he
overcomes obstacles and knows no such
thing as failure.
Iron in the successful formula for
Peptiron, which also includes pepsin,
nux, celery and other tonics, sedativcs
and digestives, helps to give strength,
color and body to the blood; reddens
pale cheeks, steadies the nerves, nour-
ishes and gives stamina to the whole
body.
Peptiron is in pill form, chocolate
coated, pleasant to take, easily assim-
iIated-the most successful combination
Of iron that its makers. c. I. Hood Co.,
Lowell, Mass, know Of.
It is the medicine for you.
It will put iron into your blood.
