Importance to providing high type of medical
service, he listed the necessity for freedom Of
the patient from financial worries during the
period when his physical condition is at low
ebb, freedom which is provided by the group
method. Likewise, he pointed out that there is
under that method, absence Of the usual dis

ed by private physicians for the poor, inquired
as to who would take Of the task Of charity

 A German communique report ed that a heavy British cruiser was successfully attacked" by a German air raider near the Brit ish coast. A British Admiralty spokesman termed the German claim as '.poppycock.'
 Berlin said Poland'S capital was shattered in twenty days of the German seige and prepared to surrender probably tomorrow. The German announcement of the city's unconditional surrend- CT was borne out by a Polish news agency dispatch indicating that further defense was aban- doned. German and Russian arm ies are virtually in complete con trol of Poland.
 The Warsaw radio was silent after telling a dramatic story of the city's valiant defense and ruin.
 On the western front hostilit- ies slowed their pace. A French communique said "an enemy at tack west if Saarbruecken was filed during calm night along the entire front"
 Swiss dispatches said a French counterattack had driven back German troops which had thrust toward the rail junction east of Wissembourg.

Deutschland Thought
At Home Port RefueIinq
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 8.-Naval circles
speculated tonight on the likelihood
that the German pocket battleship
Deutschland had slipped through
British patrols into a home port to
provision and refuel.
These sources said the theory was
supported by the fact that there
has been no confirmed report Of
activities by the raider since she
put a prize crew aboard the City Of
Flint in the North Atlantic Octo-
Der 8.
British naval sources said the
Deutschland and her sister raider,
Admiral Scheer, believed to have
begun cruises the end of Septem-
Der, had the long Arctic nights and
poor visibility of winter weather in
their favor in getting home to re-
fuel and out again.

voteIess Motorists

On PEI Peeves
A. A. A. Sets Up Machine
To Poll D. 6. Drivers
On Annoyunces

Voteless voters of Washington
have a chance to cast ballots-and
on a modern vote-tabulating device
at that.
There are number of issues on
the ballots, all involving traffic prob
lens and nuisances. In one the
voter is allowed a choice as to what
annoys him or her most when
driving.
The same questions were put to
951 persons at the Washington
Automobile Show and to 951 per-
sons at the New York City Auto
mobile Show.
Easy leader among 10 candidates
for biggest drivers annoyance was
mo place to park" with road hog
ging" and cutting in" running IN
second and third place. Then
careless pedestrians" "slow-moving
trucks" failure to signal" back
seat driving" roadside billboards,"
winding roads" and inadequate
direction signs"
Other questions in which the
alternatives ran far ahead were:
Should all gasoline taxes and
registration fees be used for high
way purposes?
Should parking facilities be part
of all newly constructed office and
apartment buildings?
Should pedestrians be compelled
to obey stop and 60 signals?
Should highway patrol police cars
be conspicuously marked?
Do you favor the regulation of
outdoor advertising along rural high
ways?
Should motorists be required to
have their headlights, brakes, etc.,
inspected periodically at official in
spection stations?
Do you favor traffic safety educa-
ton, including at-the-wheel train
ing in high schools?
On the question Have difficulties
of night driving caused you to use
your car less after sundown?" the
noes led ATS to 232 in Washington
and 1856 to 1879 in New York. In
both ballots, motorists expressed the
opinion that downtown parking
problems required first attention as
compared with building divided
highways and improving driving
practices.
The A. A. AS voting machine will
be available to the public from
am. to 9 pm. daily.

Recovery in Fifth
District Exceeds
Seasonal Trend
Industrial Rise Led
BY Cool as Exports
Swell Demand
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. Va. Oct. 31-An
increase above seasonal expectations
in industrial activity and consumer
buying has been reported for Sep
tember by the Federal Reserve Bank
here in its monthly review Of busi-
ness conditions in the fifth Reserve
district.
Industrial activity was led by
coal mining, due chiefly to a greater
demand from domestic users but
also because of substantial in
crease in exports as result of the
European war, the bank said.
A 80 per cent increase in depart
ment store sales over August fig
ures, and per cent above sales of
September, 1888, was noted. Sales
Of representative furniture stores ran
y per cent above August and 10 per
cent ahead of September, 1888.
Automobile sales were go per cent
ahead of sales in September, 1898.
Wholesale trade in most lines, the
bank said, was substantially ahead
OF sales in either August, 1899, or
September, 1885,
The report stated that a relatively
large volume of building together
with substantial gains in some in
dustrlal activity and in coal mining,
materially increased demand for
labor, and claims for unemployment
compensation at State agencies are
said to have declined sharply"
The fifth reserve district includes
Maryland, Washington, D. c.; Vir-
glnla, North and South Carolina and
most Of West Virginia.
