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

"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. Gor

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."

BOROUGH COUNCIL
IN LONG SESSION
Turns Deaf Ear lo Pica For!
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.

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

! feeling existed that the rates should
not be advanced unless it was abso
