PRESIDENT SEES HOW U-BOAT WAR ] IS MET BY YANK Vessel Feels Explosion of Depth Bombs Let Down by United States Destroyer; Wilson Stands on the Bridge During Spectacular Demonstration On Board V. S. S, George Wnsh lugtou, Doc. 10.—President Wilson stood on the bridge of tho George Washington yesterday afternoon and saw a I'nitvd States destroyer stage a thrilling demonstration of tho work of repulsing a submarine at tack. A touch of realism was given by the drill of the men on board tho liner and tho convoying ships. Tho great liner was gliding through the tropical waters like a chip on n duck pond when bugles and alarm bells called tho men to battle stu ttone. President Wilson was taken to the bridge by Captain McCauley so that he might get a better view of tho demonstration. Destroyer Leaps Into Action A destroyer which had been lag ging fur ustern suddenly leaped for ward, her funnels belching smoke and white spray dashing from her bow as she tore through the water ut a clip of thirty knots an hour. As the destroyer came abeam of tho liner, depth bombs were drop ped and great geysers were thrown high into the air as the warship zig zagged its way through the waters beneuth which was supposed to lurk the enemy submarine. Catarrh i Of The Stomach a j is Dangerous 3 "Thousands Have It and G De..'t Know It," Says Ijj Physician. Frequently Mis- P taken For Indigestion— Ql B How to Recognize and H | T „„. | Vll |BF=|HF=IF]I !Plf=" "Thousands of people suffer more or less, constantly from furred, coated tongue, bud breath, sour burning stomach, trequent vomiting, rumb ling in stomach, bitter eructations, gas, wind and stomach avidity, una villi it indigestion when in reality their trouble is due to gastric catarrli of the stomach," writes a New York physician. Catarrh of the stomach is danger ous because the mucous mcmbrance lining ot the stomach is thickened and a coating of phlegm covers the sur face so thut the digestive lluids can- Hot mix with tlie food and digest them. This condition soon breeds deadly disease in the fermented, un- Hssimilated food. The blood is pol luted and carries the infection throughout the body. Uustric ulcers are apt to form and frequently un nicer is the lirst sign of a deadly cancer. In catarrli of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meals a teaspoonful of pure Bisurat ed .Magnesia in half a glass of hot isater as liot us you can comfortably drink it. The hot water washes the mucous from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach while tlie bisuruted magnesia is an excellent solvent lor mucus and increases the efficiency of the hot water treatment. Moreover the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as a powerful hut harmless ant acid which will neutralize any excess hydrochloric acid that may be in your stomach and sweeten its food contents. Easy, natural digestion without distress of any kind should noon follow. Bisurated Magnesia is liot a laxative, is harmless, pleasant and easy to take and can be obtained from any local druggist. Don't con fuse Bisurated Magnesia with other 1 forms of magnesia, milks, citrates, j etc., hut get it in the pure bisurated form (powder or tablets), especially prepared for this purpose. G. A.

Each explosion waa distinctly felt , on board tho George Washington. Tho concussions sounded llko heavy 1 blows being struck against tho aide ! of the vessel. President Wilson was most inter -1 | esfed In tho demonstration and ask -1 ' ed queatloifs about It, going Into tho most minute detail. The George Washington passed Into the Azores this morning and 1 turned northward on the last leg 1 of her txiyage. There was no stop at tho Azores. President Wilson probably will not sit at the peace tuble, but will be represented there by delegates, while remaining la closo contact with ' the heads of the other nations and prepared to decide questions referred to him. Premier Clemenceau, it is believed, will be president of the peace confer ence. This is considered fitting, be cause the conference will be held In France. President Wilson's disposition is in favor of entirely public proceedings, such as are carried on in the Senate chamber at Washington, with tho press representatives given every fa cility to report certain business. Naturally there will be need of se crecy, as there is in the Foreign Re lations Committee, but- the Presi dent's idea is that the procedure could be much the same as at Wash ington, a committee considering the confidential and delicate features of various'juestions, and thon reporting back to the peace congress for ac tion. President Wilson unexpectedly at tended a songfest in the enlisted, men's hall, where, afterwards, he shook hands with the officers and sailors. The President was given three cheers and a "tiger."

Adequate Police Pro tection Although the borough council held a rather lengthy. session last even ing, very little was accomplished. Much discussion but no action mark ed the introduction of the subjectj of more adequate police protection, j It was brought out that within the' last few weeks, shooting affairs, hold ups, and lawlessness in general, were becoming quite common matters, especially among the colored popula tion. Most of these affairs have hap pened in the West side, and Council man Reider made an urgent appeal for better police protection in that section of the town. Appeal IN L'nlierded His appeal went unheeded, no ac- , tlcn being taken. The inactivity and j , silence on the part of council in this I ] matter apparently amounts to little! more than an expression of willing- j ness to have the matters continue as they are. The police force of the borougli, while doing all in its power i to bring the guilty ones to Justice and break up the lawlessness, is adequate in size to cope with the affair. Seven 1 policemen for a to*wn with twenty i thousand people, a large portion of which Is composed of negroes and j foreigners, is very much like an In- I vitation for lawlessness. Even the I standard police protection of one of- 1 j fleer to every thousand population ; followed out in the majority of towns ' in Pennsylvania, would be inadequate j Ir. Steelton because of the nlixed pop- i ulation. That standard of protection j would give Steelton about twenty of- | fleers. —what then can be expected j with seven? *•", While the discusslpn was going on, | fate decided to bring the matter to j a head. A police call came from the I lower end of the borough, stating that Tom Zabbic and his brother, i Evan Zabbic,' had Just bebn held up by three negroes close to Adam Glad's dairy. But even this report failed to move the honorable bor ough fathers to action. With holdups as a nightly occur- I rence, robberies and shooting affairs almost as frequent, with two mur- ! derers still at large,-the time has ar- , rived when police protection has be come an absolute necessity, regard less of the oplnon of the borough j council.

Gilland," of Shamokin. man Reider was persistent in the matter, however, and finally broke down the opposition. Councilman Blackweli, opposed at first, gave in eventually and voted for its passage. Councilman Capella was keen for its passage, being chairman of a spe cial committee named some time ago to meet officials of the Harrisburg Railways Company. Apparently these meetings were not successful and Capella said he was tired of "having I the linger of scorn pointed towards | him." The ordinance, which is really a I police regulation, calls for the taxa- I tion of SSO per year on every street i car operating through the borough streets. There are approximately from twenty-live to thirty such cars. Chairman Keim, of the police com-- mittee, asked for improvements to the red light police call system. It .was granted. The matter of raising the water j rents was held in abeyance until fur | ther information be secured. The ! feeling existed that the rates should not be advanced unless it was abso lutely necessary.
