ONLY A few SUBS
Vice Admiral Sims Says Ger
many Only Uses s or 8.
That Many Operate Against
the Merchant Fleet.

London, Oct. 12.-Vice Admiral
Sims. speaking at Lord Northcliffe's s
luncheon for visiting American editors,
said that the average number of enc
my submarines operating against mer-
chant ships and transports across the
Atlantic was about eight or nine, but
that sometimes it ran up to twelve or
thirteen.
That was all the submarines the
enemy could keep out at time, he
declared.
Around the British Isles, Vice Ad-
miral Sis said there were about 5000
anti-submarine craft in employment
day and night. OF American craft
there were 160 and it was about the
same in the Mediterranean.
The British grand fleet. he said,
continues to come out of port when
ever it wants to and goes wherever it
pleases around the North sea. The
grand fleet is enabled to do SO, SIM
ply because it is surrounded by an
area carefully patrolled by screens OF
destroyers within which 1t would be
suicidal for a submarine to show its
nose.
The convoy system, Vice Admiral
Sims explained, is nothing else than a
grand fleet of merchant vessels sur
rounded by screen which makes il
dangerous for a submarine to make
an attack.
There are about 5000 anti-subma.
rine craft in the open sea today.

GOOD FLU ADVICE
Keep Yourself i'm Good Condition
and Drink Water.

A well known Topeka physician has
offered this common sense advice to
persons who would avoid influenza:
Some people are immune Why?
Because their physical condition is
such that the bacilli will not thrive
The way to get and keep in that con-
dition is to know how to live, eat,
sleep and drink. All are important
Live in pure air night and day. Never
sleep with closed windows. DRINK
WATERLOO preferred-but DRINK
WATER. Avoid eating meat Eat
fruit, milk and vegetables. Eat onions
raw or cooked. Use plenty~of lemons
and grapefruit. Do not eat unless you
are hungry. Do not eat just because
it is meal time but wait until nature
demands something. When you are
feeling badly do not eat thinking that
it will make you feel better as a
rule you will feel worse.
"Altho influenza is a dangerous dis
ease and one should know the symp-
toms to some extent, it is not advisa BILE
to learn them by heart and try to ap-
ply them to ones condition. There
are several symptoms which one
might apply and still the disease
would not be present If you do not
feel well drink a pint of hot lemon
ade or hot water and go to bed and
if you do not feel better within a few
hours call a physician and follow in

HE WOULD KILL?
Man Tried To Get at President
Loaded Revolver Is Found.

l.
New York, Oct. 12.-Just as the
president passed Fifty-first street, in
the Liberty day parade today, a man
broke thru the police line and started
toward the president. He was imme-
diately seized by secret service men
and placed in an automobile which
speeded away with him down Fifth
avenue. A few minutes later a loaded
revolver was found on the street
The man was taken to police station
where his name was given as H. J.
Boone, a printer. He denied, accord
ing to the police, having any harmful
intentions, saying that he merely
wanted to shake hands with the presi-
dent.
In the apparent belief that the man
may have contemplated harm to the
president, the crowd started toward
him, but the secret service men were
too quick. Spectators noticed as the
secret service machine drove away
that the mans head was bleeding. The
revolver picked up afterward contain
ed five bullets.
The man was held on a charge OF
disorderly conduct "in that he annoyed
the president" as expressed by the
police. Mr.. Wilson himself did not
seem to be disturbed by the incident.
He smiled sligh " as his guards seized
the man but did not halt his march.
At Washington Square the president
again entered his automobile and re-
viewed the marchers as they filed thru
Washington arch.
