GERMANS MURDER
AMERICAN SAILORS
SCORES KILLED OR WOUNDED
BY SUBMARINE WHICH SUCK
THE TlCONDEROGA.
All But Twenty of the $50 Men on
Board Believed to Have Persisted
When Ship Is Torpedoed 1900
Miles OFF Atlantic Coast

An Atlantic port.=Scores of Ameri-
can sailns were killed or wounded by
shrapnel fired by German submarine
after it had torpedoed the steamship
Ticonderoga, 1900 miles off the At
lantic coast, according to the story told
by twenty survivors who arrived here
Thursday aboard British freighter.
There were go men aboard the III
conderoga, an American steamship of
5l30 tons, and all but the twenty who
arrived here are believed to have per-
ished. The survivors got away in the
only boat which was not demolished
by the shellfire from the submarine,
they said. Seventeen of the men who
reached port were members of de-
tachment of soldiers detailed to care
for horses which were being trans
ported
The Ticonderoga was attacked, pre-
sumably on October 2, when she fell
behind her convoy because of engine
trouble.
According to the story of the surviv-
ors, the submarine was not sighted I'M
til she has sent torpedo crashing INTO
the side of the ship. The torpedo did
not strike vital spot, however, and
the captain crowded on full steam In
an effort to escape, at the same time
ordering the gun crews into action
against the submarine, which appeared
| about a mile off.
"Our gun crews did not fire more
than five or six Shots" one of the sur
vivors said. 1.-THE forward gun was
shot away almost at once. The after
gun and its crew were done for almost
as quickly. Then the men went into
the boats, but it was no use, as the
flying shrapnel was spraying th'
decks, and men fell in scores either
killed or badly wounded"

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells ITSELF as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation ! have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that l know of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, 1T full lis al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper

WILSON ASKS DIRECT
REPLY IN HIS NOTE

Presldeni Wilson's note to the Ger
man chancellor, which was transmit
ted to Berlin. October s. is as follows:
"Slr: | Lave the honor to acknowl-
edge, on behalf of the president. your
note of October 6. nclosing the COM
muni6ation from the German govern
ment TO The president: and | am in
structed by the president to request
you to make the following commune
cation to the imperial German chan
cellor:
"Before making reply to the request
of the imperial German government
and in order that that reply shall be
candid and Straightforward, as the
momentous interests involved require,
the president of the United States
deems 1t necessary to assure himself
of the exact meaning of the note of
the Imperial chancellor. Does the inn
perial chancellor mean that the imper-
ial German government accepts the
terms laid down by the president in
his address to the congress of the
Oulttt SUITES on tllt OH VI JtuudIN
last, and in subsequent addresses and
that its object in entering into discus
sions would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their application?
1.-THE president feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel al
| liberty to propose a cessation of arms
| to the governments with which the
government of the United States Is
| associated against the central powers
so long as the armies of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith OF
any discussion would manifestly de
pend upon the consent of the centra
powers Immediately to withdraw theil
| forces everywhere from invaded terri
| tory.
"The president also feels that he Il
justified in asking whether the i'm
perial chancellor is speaking merel.
for the constituted authorities of tn,
| empire who have so far conducted tn,
war. He deems the answer to thes
questions vital from every point o
view"
