FIRING UPON 1)757 VESSEL CONFIRMED Continued From First Fagt, ance in the war upon the entente pow ers, convinced officials here it would be well to have both ships remain in the Mediterranean for the present and both have been going from port to port in Turkish waters or thUse nearby. The Safety of Americans So far Ambassador Morgenthau's re ports concerning the safatv of Ameri cans have been reassuring. An under current of uneasiness was created, how ever. early this month when the Turk ish commande.' at Beirut addressed a note to the American Consul General, which he intended for the information OJ. the French and British governments, declaring that for every Mussulman killed in a bombardment of any un fortified port three British or French subjects would be put to death, and added that he could not take the re sponsibility for any uprising against ( hiistians which might follow such an event. It was pointed out at the time that bombardment of any open and unforti fied towns was unlikely, as it is pro hibited by The Hague convention, i hose Turkish officials who remain at the embassy here were confident that jf the Tennessee had been tired upon it was the act of some local official, which would quickly be taken u.p by Constantinople government. Fur ther tin n calling for inquiries from other American officials in the vicinity, it appeared that Washington was await ing further reports from the Tennessee herself before proceeding. It became known also that England and France were asking their commanders in the Mediterranean for information of the incident. Theory of Washington Officials The theory of the officials here is that Captain Decker had been ashore at Smyrna to pay his respects to Consul General Horton and that the Consul, who had returned the visit, was being taken ga<-k to Smyrna when the launch was tired upon. Ft was pointed out that in making a visit to Smvrna the ordinary procedure for the Tennessee to take would be to anchor outside the harbor and send a lunch ashore. An other view is that the tiring may not have been inteuded as an unfriendly act, but merely as a warning that, the port was closed. This is said to be a usual form of notifying a foreign ves sel that a port is closed when other notification has not been made. Vour lah is about ten miles from Smvrna. The cruiser North Carolina is at Beirut, on the coast of Asia Minor, about 500 miles awav. To Make Complete Investigation • Secretary Daniels immediately noti- j tied Acting Secretary Lansing of the 1 firing and that official immediately callej upon Ambassador Morgenthau at Constantinople to make a complete in vestigation. Communication, however, between Constantinople and the United States is very slow. The latest message from Mr. Morgenthau, received yester day, was dated November 12. It made no mention of any disturbances. As Captain Decker's report mentioned the fact that anxiotv had been felt for the safety of the American consulate at Smyrna, the opinion was expressed in some quarters t>hat the launch might have beeu taking a guard from the Tennessee to protect the consulate and such Americans and other foreigners w*ho would naturally seek asylum in that quarter. Report Shots Fired at Launch Chios, Agcan Sea, Nov. 17.—The! American armored cruiser Tennessee ar rived in this port to-day. It is stated that yesterday, while the captain of the Tennessee was in the ship's launch, which was flying the American fla«, on hiß way to pay the customary visits j on the Turkish officials at Smyrna, i HARRIBBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18. 1914. The Use of Bisurated Magnesia lor Stomach Troubles In these days of almost universal In digestion, dyspepsia and other stymach trouhle, the recent announcement by a great specialist that pure blsuratad magnesia is an almost Infallible rem edy for nearly all forms of stomach trouble, will come as a welcome sur prise to all sufferers. A teaspoonful In a little water immediately after eat ing, or whenever pain Is felt, neutral izes the excess add, and Instantly stops the fermentation and pain. Those who use bisttr&ted magnesia regularly for a week or two usually lind that the trouble has entirely disappeared, and normal dlg&sMon is completely re stored. adv. three solid shots were fired ou the boat by the forts. The American Ambassador, Henry Morgenthau. without investigating the incident, it is said, immediately ordered the Tennessee from Turkish waters at the request of the Turkish officials. Chios, at which port the cruiser Teunessee lias arrived,"is the capital of the island of the same name, about four miles off the coast of Asia Minor and near the Gulf of Smyrna. The island formerly belonged to Tur key, but as a result of the Balkan war was turned over to Greece. A great portion of the population 0f,60,000 are Greeks. Dispatches from Athens yesterday re ported that the Tennessee had arrived at the port of Vurla, in the Gulf of Smyrna, and that her appearance had put a stop to the ill-treatment of Brit ish, Russian and French residents. The authorities of Smyrna, the dispatch added, fearing a bombardment, had left for the interior. Captain Benton Clark Decker is iu command of the Tennessee, which left New York on August 6 with nearly $6,000,000 in gold on board for the relief of the American tourists strande.l in Europe. The warship first went to England and then to France and finally entered the Mediterranean, where she visited several ports itv- pursuance of her relief work. PRZEMYSLJOW BESIEGED. PROVISIONED FOR A YEAR Berlin, Via The Hague and London, Nov. 18. 10.25 A. M. —An official war bulletin given ofit in Berlin to-day sets forth that the operations on the east ern front arn progressing favorably. The Germans apparently are using their victory at Wloclawek to the greatest advantage. The Russian armies de feated near Lipno yesterday arc prob ably in the vicinity of Plock, and the forces defeated near Wloclawek are now at Kutno and Lesehytea. For the continuation of operations, the bulletin goes on to say. it will be of the greatest importance for the Ger man troops from the region of Solday to make further progress against the right w'ng of the main Russian army. If the Russains intend to retire behind the Vistula such a retreat, considering the extremely bad conditions of the roads, would bo most difficult, conse quently the Russians probably will pre fer to make a definite stand when the German and Austrian forces attack. The papers of Berlin declare again to-day that the fall of Belgrade, Serv ia, is imminent. According to a statement given out in Venna, the fortress of Przemysl, now being besieged by the Russians, is pro visioned for twelve months.

SURE WAY TO GET RID OF DANDRUFF End Itching Scalp and Stop Falling Hair—At Once There is one sure wa.v that never i fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it j entirely. To do this, just get about four j ouaces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; j apply it at night when retiring; use | enough to inoistefi the scalp and rub it! in gently with the fiinger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your | dandruff will be gone, and three or four, more applications wil completely dis solve ami entirely destroy every single i sign and trace of it no matter how much > dandruff you' may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop in stantly, and your hair will bo fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to keep your hair look ing rich, do by all means get rid of dandruff for nothing destroys the hair so quickly. Tt not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it. Yrfu can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy hus never been known to fail. Adv.

Many of his friends did not know him, and others thought he had a wig. On be ing asked how he did it, he made the following statement: "I attribute the growth of my hair to the following simple recipe which any lady or gen tleman can mix at home. To a half pint of water add 1 or.. of Bay Rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and oz. v of Glycerine. Apply to the two or three times a week with tl)« finger tips. It not only promotes the growth of the hair, but removes dap liruff, scalp lutmors and prevents the hair from falling out. It darkens streaked, faded, gray hair and makes the hair soft and glossy. Those ingrodi ents caii be purchased at any drug store at very little cost and mixed at home." Advl 7
