u. S. Navy Uses Best
Torpedoes in World

AN IRISH PORT, Aug. 29.-Ameri-

is using the best torpedoes in the
world. They are thoroughly Convinced
they are far superior to those used by
the Germans now. At the beginning Of
the war the German torpedo, the Off

lieve that the ones the Huns are using
now are not nearly SO efficient and
must result at times in inaccurate

The Liberty Loan Drive at Home


September 25, 26 and 27 are the days in
which Wayne county will subscribe its allotment
Of the fourth Liberty Loan issue.
The decision Of the committee to complete the
work in three days of actual work is commend
able, for it will concentrate within few days an
activity that formerly has been permitted to drag
over comparatively long period. Success can
be achieved and results obtained in few days, if
the organization is enthused and prepared for the
task, two factors that will be well taken care Of
While the communities in the townships are
giving their time and attention to the details of
the Forthcoming drive it will be in order for the
patriots of the community to prepare themselves
for the subscriptions.
The government announced many weeks ago
that the campaign would be made in September
and pleaded with citizens to arrange their finan-
cal affairs so that they would be able to SUBJ
scribe without impairing general business condi-
tions By adopting restrictive measures the gov
ernment was able to prepare the country
whole for the drive. 1t is now the duty of the
individual to subscribe.
j. Laurence Laughn, of the foremost
political economists and an international author
ity in finance and political science, describes
clearly in this weeks issue of The Outlook the
principle which the government is seeking to
finance the war. He says:
How does the Government get control of a
part of this great surplus of wealth, and how is
the country able to give it? There are only two
ways by which the Government can get it: %
by taxation, or (2) by loans. BY the former the
State takes outright and never repays; by the
latter the State borrows the purchasing power
over goods and agrees to repay in the future.
In either case the outside limit to our power
to pay taxes or to provide loans is the surplus of
our production above necessaries If the Govern
nent gets it, the former possessors of it have to
forego their consumption over goods to that
extent.
1t is obvious that the same wealth cannot be
consumed in two ways at the same time. Hence
the possibility of floating the Fourth Liberty
Loan depends on the willingness of our people to
restrict their consumption of goods and turn over
the equivalent to the Treasury through subscrip-
tions to National loans.
First of all, they must cease buying luxures
or articles not absolutely necessary to daily COM
fort. But that is only another name for saving.
Saving means foregoing of personal consumption
for future gain. Thus that loans the
enormous scale demanded by the war cannot be
got from capital saved on e-bellum conditions,
but only by newly stimulated, patriotic willing
ness to apply restriction over consumption toI
the vast surplus of production over necessaries.
That is, great new loans can only from new
saving applied to this enormous surplus.
In word, the Government get control of
our vast surplus of production by saving the

Rheumatic Pains and Twinges.
Mr. James H Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this
terrible disease left him helpless and
unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consult ed
physicians, made experiments and fin
ally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to 9TH
ers who took 1t, with what might be
called marvellous success. After years
of urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery
through the newspapers. Any druggist
can supply you.-Adv.

 As for the pogrom situation, it is mostly propaganda. For instance, two months ago I was in Cracow and 1 read in the newspapers that there had been pogroms in Warsaw.

Polish Authority Says POgromS
 Are Mostly Propaganda

Warsaw, Dec. 19 (By The Asso- ciated Press. )-In discussing the poIi- teal situation in Poland, especially as regards the Jews, Prof. r. Tutermilch, Il Polish editor and writer, said today:
 The present pogrom agitation has been seized upon by the Jews at the Npense of the Polish nation for the >ulrpose of influencing the peace con- Fress. The Jews expect to obtain na- jonality concessions.
 The Jewish question in Poland is ot religious since we have never in 1fered in that direction. It is poIi- cal. What they really purpose to do rough their nationalist party is not 1ly to get schools, but to have their VII courts of justice and also their "n parliament. They really wish to rnl a state within a state, yet they tcnd also to take part in our own Iitlcal life. It is absurd.
 They are now interfering with our

John Krawicz, aged 13, whom off, cials of the court characterize as "a most unusual boy" was committed to the State School for Boys by Judge John H. kirkham this morning. Kra- Wicz stole a roll of $334 last week from Klemens KaIkowski, proprietor of a Main street saloon, by the use or a clever ruse. of this amount, $274 has been recovered and the remain ing $70 is vet to be given over to Kalkowski.

 After thus locating the sick man the Red Cross, through it's Home Serv- ice, undertakes to provide such relief, food and clothing and the like as may be needed.
 The task of the tuberculosis sOcie- ties Is to secure medical treatment, sanatorium care and instruction in health. It all counts in morale as well as conservation of national strength.
 The Red Cross and the tuberculosis associations work together hand In hand in this campaign. Too often the rejected soldier will not surrender to the passive life prescribed by the sanatorium until the Red Cross re- moves his worries about his family. A humble American home off the main road. well shaded by poplars, sent two sons to fight for democracy. One is in France The other was sent home with the white plague.

But the job he took required heavy muscular eXer- tion and long hours and his health dwindled fast A physician gave him some medicine and told him to "rest up," but Dan construed that as 'go broke" when his parents could not af- ford to board him free. Accordingly he kept working and growing weaker.
 Before long both the chairman of the local Red Cross Chapter and the secretary of the anti-tuberculosis sO- ciety for that county received his name and address from the National Tuberculosis Association and Dan re- ceived friendly call.

Angelo Santi Pays $7 For Cruelty to

He was unloading stock in the yard of the Fafnir Bearing company and when the horse refused to back up, he jumped from the team and struck it with the piece of wood.
