The New Store of 310 f Wm. STROI SE "st" Mr. Hughes devoted much of his at tention to the protective tariff and to what he termed "the new slavery." He said: "We have heard much of the new freedom. It seems to have a sur prising and deplorable range. It has meant freedom to sacrifice the prin ciples of the merit system which our opponents pledged themselves to en force. Thousands or offices have been created with the provision that they might be filled without reference to the requirements of the Civil Serv ice act. 'lt hus meant freedom to embark the government in novel enterprises in competition with private business as in the case of the government Ship ping bill. It has meant freedom to depart from the principles of interna tional law to conduct a personal diplomacy to satisfy personal vin dictlveness. "It has meant freedom to wage war, not to protect American rights, but to dislodge a disliked ruler and to leave our citizens and their property to anarchy and revolution. Government by Holdup "It has meant freedom to depart from our time-honored policy of pro tecting American citizens who take American enterprise abroad and to substitute a new policy which treats them as adventures whose flag is no longer a symbol of protection of their just rights. "It means freedom to subvert the principles of government by yield ing its authority to the demands of force. In this last phase, instead of the new freedom, we have the new slavery. What are the characteristics of this new slavery? It is the use of the forms of free institutions to tryannize over the public; to Impose demands without inquiry as to their justice. "The new slavery is government by holdup. It is terrorized government, or the rule of politics assuming terror as an excuse for submission. The Executive iB chosen to defend the citadel of constitutional government. Instead, he surrenders It. AVhere shall this stop? "These innovations are serious blows to American business. Cut it Is said that the administration has aided business, and strangely enough it refers to the anti-trusr act. It is said that these laws stood in need of definition; that men spoke of them as of shackles and the administration seems to wish to create the impres sion that It has unshackled business. "A most extraordinary claim! They say that they have supplied the needed definition. They have done nothing of the sort. They have added a vague phrase to the law, the phrase 'unfair competition.' The content of this they have not defined. No phrase more in definite was ever put into a statute. "Usually words are used in a statute with some reference to their meaning in the law. But the phrase 'unfair competition' was evidently not used in its ordinary legal sense. That refers to the palming off of one man's goods as those of another through mis leading descriptions, labels, cartons and the like. There were and are abundant remedies for that sort of thing, as every well-Informed mer chant knows. 'This phrase as used in the new law was evidently intended to have wider meaning than that. What is its mean ing? No lawyer knows. It will have to be worked out through years of litigation and by the decisions of the courts, for the Federa* Trade Com mission cannot settle the legal mean ing of the statute which confers its authority. "Yet the administration compla cently speaks of aiding business by defining the evils aimed at by the Anti-Trust acts. "Not only does the Federal Trade Commission act not define what It means by unfair competition, but it leaves the Anti-Trust act in full effect as before." Attempt Is Made to Wreck Mr. Hughes' Train Louisa, Ky., Oct. 13.—The special train carrying Charles E. Hughes on his third Western trip was stopped by a broken rail on the point of a curve around a steep embankment of the Big Sandy River, leaving Paintsville yesterday. The rail was broken for .a distance of several inches, the in side fiance having been knocked en tirely away. Section hands discovered the break a few minutes before the special was due and flagged the train. The broken part of the rail rould not he found.' Train officials said that the break ap peared to have been caused by a heavy blow from some instrument. Only a few persons aboard the spe cial learned of the cause of the delay.

WARSHIP PATROL IS FLUNG ALONG COAST [Continned From First Page] Two destroyers are operating at Boston harbor in compliance with the new orders, by which the neutrality service of recent months has been in creased. They are the Warrington and Reid, with the Davis, a new de stroyer, almost ready for commission. Deny All Ships Bound For England Will Be Sunk The Hague, Oct. 13. The special correspondent in Berlin of the Nieuwre Rotterdamsche Curant telegraphs the following: "I have been authorized by compe tent naval authorities to says that the submarine commander cannot have made a statement to the captain of the Bloomersdijk that all ships which had to touch at British ports would be sunk," A Rotterdam dispatch on October 10 quoted from a report to the Hol land-American line owners of the steamer Bloomerdijk, which was sunk off the New England coast during the German submarine operations of last Sunday, that the submarine's com mander "informed the Bloomerdijk's captain that the would sink any ship bound byway of an English port. Sight Submarine of Unidentified Nationality East of New York Boston, Mass., Oct. 13. A sub marine of unidentified nationality was reported about 200 miles east of New York by the steamer Bovlc in a wire less message to-day. The course of the submarino was not stated. The Bovic, which is due in Now York to-day or'to-morrow from Man chester, England, reported sighting the submersible in latitude -10.17 north, longitude 68.7 7 west. It was added that the submarine was "astern," but whether pursuing the Bovic or keeping an opposite course was not stated. The figures of the longitude as received are not correct, the degree given be ing wrong, but it was stated that the error probably was one of only a few degrees. The Bovio is a British freight steamer owned by the White Star Line and sailed from Manchester Septem ber 30. Her commander, who prob-' ably made the report that a submarine had been sighted, is Captain Summers. Confirmation that the British steam ship Bovic sighted a submarine off the coast was contained in a statement by a naval official here to-day. He said: "A passenger steamer reported to Nantucket shoals lightship that she had sighted a Gorman submarine well astern this morning." Nc position was given, nor was the direction of the submarine stated. Admiral Mayo Orders Search of Coast For Reported U-Boat Base Washington, D. C., Oct. 13. —Admiral Mayo, commanding the Atlantic fleet, notified the Navy Department to-day that he had ordered a survey of the New England coast to investigate re ports that belligerent ships had es tablished a base there or that wireless plants were being operated in violation of American neutrality. In announcing Admiral Mayo's ac tion Secretary Daniels said to-day that, "eyeral destroyers already had been from Newport north and that the work would bo done under the admiral's direction and without in structions from Washington. Naval officials here did not place much cre dence In the reports and characterized them as an outcome of the recent op erations of the German submarine u-53 off Nantucket shoals. Numerous reports of the same character have been received by the department since the beginning: of the war. Investi gation was made in each instance, but was unproductive. Dozen U. S. Destroyers Are Patrolling Highways Leading Into Sea Ports New York, Oct. 13.—A dozen de stroyers of the United States Navy are patrolling the ocean highways to and from North Atlantic ports to-day, but for what purposes is known only to naval authorities. It was reported that they went out to maintain the neu trality of American waters, but Rear Admiral Austin M. Knight, comman dant of the naval station at Narra guneett Bay, is authority for the state ment that no official action toward es tablishing such patrol had been taken. He said, however, that this would soon be done. The seaward dash of eleven destroy ers from Newport yesterday aroused much speculation. At least one other Imted States destroyer Is known to have been on guard outside New York since the German submarine raid off Nantucket last Sunday. Liner Driven Into I'ort? Efforts to explain the activity of the destroyers ranged from a reported covery of a foreign submarine base to a rumor that a liner had been driven into Bar Harbor by a German sub marine stationed off Rockland. Maine. All these stories lacked verification. Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves, com mander of the torpedoboat flotilla at Newport, R. 1., said the sending of the destroyers to sea had no connection with the sailing of the White Star liner Adriatic from New York for Liverpool yesterday. "There have been impor tant developments," said he, "but you could not call them submarine de East Camp Hill Addition I LOT SALE i! < H ► Will Take Place On Saturday, jjj; Rain or Shine i 31 1 Starting at 1,30 P.

Since the advent of the German sub marine off Nantucket the Navy De partment has shut down all coast wire less stations. Navy officers havo been sent to the Seagate station, Telefunken station, the National Electric Signaling Company's Brooklyn station and all local wireless plants to instruct the operators as to the exact meaning of neutrality. It. was stated that one newspaper wireless station here had sent out last Sunday to ships at sea an announce ment of the raid of the U-53 and that this was regarded as an unneutral act in violation of the President's procla mation issued two years ago. The British steamship City of Ma dras later resumed her Interrupted voyage, sailing from Quarantine about 10 o'clock.

BEST CAUSE FOR MARRIAGE LOVE Dr. Hutchinson Says "Ma and Pa" Should Take Back Seats Philadelphia, Oct. IS. Scientists have been unable to discover a better cause for young persons getting mar ried than love ,and "ma" and "pa" shoudl keep "hands oft." asid Dr. Woods Hutchinson at the third an nual meeting of the Child Federation at the Bellevue-Stratford, "Eugenics,"- Dr. Hutchinson de clared, "has not been able to usurp love. Despite the talk and the writ ings of scientists on mating, love still remains the principal reason why two young persons should get married. I.ove, in fact, will generally promote eugenics and result in proper mar riages." Dr. Hutchinson said that It wag perfectly natural for young persons to desire marriage with the best-looking, the most pleasing and most fascinating of the opposite sex, and that it wag doubtful if eugenics could set down better rules for mating. Disease Will Go "Children must have plenty of food and good food. Cheap food makes cheap men and women," said Dr. Hutchinson. "It is a wrong idea to think that th children of families where poverty ex ists are naturally born abnormal and that little, therefore, can be expocted of them. Give them the chance and they develop the same as any other children. It must be remembered that genius and success have not been con. fined to the so-called upper class. Quito often the genius has been bom in a hovel." 13
