ROOSEVELT PLANS DEMOGRATIC CHECK Governor-Elect of New York Is Silent on Presidential Candidacy. By the Associated Press. WARM SPRINGS, Ga., November 12. ¢—A national survey of the Democratic party to gain a “thoroughgoing under- standing” of its strength, was launched here today by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor-elect of New York, shortly after his arrival for a month's rest. Settled in his Winter home, the suc- cessor to Alfred E. Smith declared that _ the letters he would write during the & next two months to Democratic leaders throughout the country would have nothing to do with his recent election or “any future election,” but would car- ry out his practice in past years. Silent on 1932 Candidacy. He declined to discuss the shouted “Roosevelt for President in 1932,” which ted his train in Georgia towns as e neared Warm Springs last week end. “In 1924 I sent letters to all delegates to the national convention and to Dem- ocratic leaders asking their views of the situation. The result of their replies was a thoroughgoing understanding of the situation among leaders throughout the country, which resulted in co-opera- tion and a united front on the part of congressional and senatorial leaders,” he said. “I am convinced that this year, through the various check-ups to be made during the next two months, Democratic leaders will present a united front and bring home the fact that this year the Democratic national ticket re- ceived 40 per cent of the popular vote @s against 29 per cent in 1924, 31 per cent in 1920 and a very substantial gain and at least half way toward 51 per eent.” Starts Survey in South. Mr. Roosevelt will begin his survey in the South, planning to see personal- ly prominent Democratic leaders in this section and communicate with others. Mr. Roosevelt, who first came here for the baths after a stroke of infantile paralysis, spent yesterday quietly, ex- cept for his usual plunge.

The year 1917 saw the German U- boat offensive in full swing. The Ger- mans were enthused over the success of their underwater craft, while the allles were hard pressed to find a means to combat this strange wngon of war. Destroyers were used, but they were of little help until the invention of the hydrophone submarine finder. The use of this instrument made possible the location of a moving submarine. This, in turn, enabled destroyers to as- sume the offensive and use depth bombs in an effective manner. Pollowing the use of destroyers came the “Q- ps,” old tramp steamers and wooden coasters fitted with carefully concealed guns and well trained crews. They ventured into the hazardous sub- marine zone and at the strategic mo- ment unfurled their flag and opened fire on the U-boat that a few minutes previously had attacked them. The effectiveness of this method of com- bating the small underwater craft is vividly shown. The feature is preceded by a Para- mount news reel, a picture of “Young Hollywood,” in which several children of well known film stars are shown to advantage, and “Secrets of the Sea,” a brief study of minute marine life in pictures. MUSIC ALL-AMERICAN PROGRAM. Armistice day was honored in many ways in Washington yesterday. - No- where, probably, was it more fittingly observed than in the all-American pro- gram presented at the Washington Au- ditorium during the late afternoon by three distinguished Americans—Louise Lerch, soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company; Dr. Sigmund Spaeth, lecturer_and humorist on music, and Henry F. Seibert, official organist of Town Hall, New York City. The audience that gathered to hear this program showed much enthusiasm and, while large enough to pack an average theater auditorium, numbering about 3,200, according to announcement, seemed small in that tremendous hall. rather casual talks illustrated at the piano, describing the highlights of na- tive musical development in the United States from colonial days down to the present era of jazz. Dr. Spaeth’s glib comments combined with clever bits of humor held his audience entertained throughout. Dr. Seibert opened and closed the pro- gram with organ numbers by Burnap, Schubert, Ravanello, Sturges, Kinder and Yon, being effective in the softer passages and showing the thunderous possibilitie¢ of the huge instrument at other times. He quite drowned out Miss Lerch and any other singers who attempted the grand finale of “The Star Spangled Banner,” which was led by Dr. Spaeth. HF \ - o First Rural Mail Carrier Dies. ELBA, N.

MAN ADMITS AIDING IN DEATH OF YOUTH Tells of Throwing Boy in River During Quarrel After Coney Island Liquor Party. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 12.—Haunted by the memory, of his part in the drowning of a 19-year-old boy a year ago, Henry Stevens, 32, told the story of the boy's death to the bereaved father. He was in jail today, charged with homicide. In July, 1927, the body of William Pritz was taken from the Harlem River. The father, convinced the boy had met with foul play, could not unravel the mystery. Yesterday Stevens confessed to his part in the drowning. Pritz, with Stevens and Willlam Maher, he said, returning from a drink- ing bout at Coney Island, quarreled with Maher. Pritz, flung into the river, regained the shore. As he lay on the bank, exhausted, Maher and another member of the party, Stevens said, pushed him into the stream again. Stevens was arrested on his own con- fession. Detectives found Maher and charged him also with homicide. 44 MEXICANS KILLED.

NEW YORK, November 12 (#).—An appeal for cancellation of loans made by America to her allies during the war was made by Right Rev. Ernest M. Stires, bishop of the diocese of Long Island, in a sermon delivered in St. ‘Thomas' Protestant Episcopal Church, on Fifth avenue. “There can be little happiness for the United States in a world. where we are surrounded by nations who are our unhappy and, at times, almost desperate debtors,” sald the bishop, who was a Y.
