A French Separot, Oct. 25.—Escap- ing from a German submarine after a sgbitter fight lasting nearly four hours and with seven of her crew wounded, two of them seriously, an American steamer arrived here this morning from an American port. The timely intervention of an American torpedo boat alone saved the ship from being .Jsent to the bottom. =" A fow hours after the vessel had entered the danger zone, a lookout sighted a submarine on the port bow, but before he had time to report its presence the submarine fired a shot which missed the stern of the ship . by but a few yards. The captain im- ¢ mediately sent out a wireless call for " assistance, as the position of the sub- fi‘mrlne was such that escape was nearly impossible. The gun crews of the submarine and the steamer then began ‘to ex- change shots. The chief gunner of the . steamer opened fire at a range of nina thousand yards but all the shots fell short. The submarine kept maneuv- ering to keep out of range of the steamer’s guns, at the same time maintaining & runnng fire in an effort %o disable them. The merchant ship “atter altering her course started at ! full speed in an attempt to escape. The stubbornness of the battle is in- dicated by the fact that the submarine fired 234 shots at the steamer which responded with more than 260 shots. A doctor and two assistants board- ed the merchantman and attended to . the wounded. The eigfmeers had ‘great difficulty in repairing the steamer’s engine, and during the night the destroyer and the merchantman lost each other, but finally the steamer made port in safety. The wounded were transferred to a hospital in this city. Two of them be- long to the gun crew and five to the D Steamer was not hit below the water line but her cargo caught fire '\ during the engagement. The amount of damage has not been ascertained, The sea was running high at the time and there seemed little hope of saving the ship when a low streak of black smoke was sighted on the horizon. It later proved to be an American torpedo boat destroyer com- ing at full speed, running right into the sea and at times nearly disappear- tng from view. The destroyer had heard the calls for aid sent out by the & steamer and traveled at a speed of as high as thirty knots to come to her assistance. The destroyer immediately made for the submarine, which dived and dis- appeared beneath the surface. The American warship circled about the spot, dropping a few depth charges “*put no more signs of the U-boat were seen. While coming to the steamer’s as- sistance the destroyer kept sendinfi assuring messages such as “hold on 2 “stick” “we are coming." Theé steamer's wireless apparatus, however, had been disabled soon after the fight begam and the messages never were received, so that the ar- rival of the American destroyer was quite unexpected. The submarine ap- parently was aware of the destroyer’'s presence because she submerged be- fore the destroyer could get within range. = = KILLED BY DL, Fe i ATy Jose Skinner Topples Down Steps fosent Into Cellar. h Skinner, a well known young m::suel‘:out the city, sustained a broken neck shortly after 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, by/a fall down a flight of stairs leading into the cellar of the « Hotel Bassett. Death was almost in- stantaneous. Officers Hayes and sharpe responded to a telephone call rom Constable Fred Winkle that a man had fallen down stairs. Skinner was seen about the city a short time before the fatal accident, by Frank Leist. A waitress employed at McEnroe’s restaurant also noticed Skinner walking in the rear of the Stanley Building a few minutes before his lifeless form was found.

He was taken to the station house, but as he did not appear to even know of the happening, he was subsequently released. bu::: dead man is survived by two sisters, Mrs. James Lynch of Garden street and Mrs Albert Marks of % Dewey street, and a brother, Bernard Skinner, who resides in Providence.

Bridgeport, Oct. 26.—The summer colonfes along the water front from Fairfield to Milford are a mass of ruins today following the storm which swept over this section of the coun- try yesterday. Hundreds of citizens forced to remain at the shore because of the scarcity of the houses in the city are homeless due to the flooding of their cottages by the high seas, Altogether damage estimated at more than $100,000 was done. The Milford beaches suffered most, nearly a dozen cottages being under- mined or toppled over. Piers were washed away, verandas torn from cottages that withstood the waves, furniture was tossed about and smashed against the walls and debris litters the streets and shore front for more than a mile. Big trees were uprooted at Walnut beach a distance of 200 yards from the water front, while theaters and buildings even more distant were under three feet of water on their first floors. The trolley tracks were undermined so that trafflo was abandoned from early Yyesterday afternoon until this morn- ing and the damage done to the line along the way will amount to thou- sands of dollars. At Fairfleld beach five ocottages were undermined and demolished, while all plers and bath houses were wrecked beyond repair, Scavengers added to the loss at Mil- ford beaches, appearing after the storm subsided and carrying away in teams ®verything moveable, A cordon of Milford police finally put a stop to the looting, but not before hun- dreds of dollars worth of goods had been stolen. KRONSTADT IS BEING EVACUATED BY RUSS Is Most Important Naval Base in Russia, But MAXIMUM TOTAL I THOUGHT LIKELY Indications That Three and Hali Billions Are Already Subscribed NEW YORK'S BIG PARADE Last Minute Sales Expected to Be Large, Ycsterday’s Rain Tending to Prevent Investors From Subscribing —General Pershing Buys Bond. Washington, Oct. 25.—Indlcations today were that Liberty Day sales had carried the total to about $3,« 500,000,000, if not beyond that sum. Banks reported officlally subscrip~ tions totalling more than $400,000,- 000 but this sum, officlals say, repre- sents only a fraction- of what was really secured during the day. “A flood of telesrams from ever) part of the country,” the treasury d. partment announced, “told the same story of subscription agencies swamp- ed so badly that there was no pos- sibility of making accurate estimates of yesterday's sales before tonight at the earliest. Out of all the confusion that has resulted from the over- whelming of business that fairly swept sales committee off their feet, there is evident a fixed determination to at. tain the $5,000,000,000 maximum total, New York, Oct. 26.—New York to- day celebrated its second Liberty Loan day. While the downpour of rain yesterday caused a postponement of the parade which was to feature the day set aside by President Wilson, it failed to dampen the ardor of the Liberty bond salesmen and served to give the city another day in which to incremse its subscriptions to the loan. The subscriptions yesterday—$120 000,000—caused the minimum allot- ment of $900,000,000 to be passed and encouraged the workers in their belief that the maximum quota of $1,- urday. Thousands of men and women, thirty bands and forty floats, symbo- lizing America’s entry into the war, were to be in line in the postponed parade up Fifth avenue to Central park late this afternoon. Secretary Daniels was expected to review the procession.* The British caterpillar tafk, the B-4, with its crew of soldiers from “Somewhere. in' France,” one of the features of the parade, was to swing into the sheep meadows at Central park and take its place alonsside the captured German mine-laying subr rine UC-5. After the parade, the under-water boat was to be re-chri People Go. Petrograd, Oct. 25.—The evacu@~ tion of the civil population of the naval base of Kronstadt has begun. The removal of the civilians from XKronstadt, which is the most im- portant Russian naval base, probably is a military measure. The civillan population is moving from Petrograd, from which the government also will g0 to Moscow. The evacuation of Reval, another important port on the Gulf of Finland, was reported last week.

America's aid, Queen Marie de- clared, came at the crucial hour when the need was greatest. “Our hearts warmed with gratl- tude,” she said. “‘and our hopes were | re-inspired by this evidence of Amer- ica’s generosity. I wish the Asso- ciated press to convey my most sin- cere thanks to the entire American nation for the noble way in which it has come to our assistance in the hour of suffering. ‘“The mothers, children and sol- diers of Rumania bless America’s great name. Each sufferer well knows that Rumania’s ally overseas has come to the rescue in the time of trouble, and as their queen I voice their gratitude to Ameri which is the whole-hearted on of the 8,000,000 of my people.’ The queen paid tribute to Charles J. Vopicka, the American minister to Rumania, whose “‘efforts in the United States towards securing aid for our stricken country will long be remem- ! bered.” She spoke feelingly of Ru- manian reverses during the thirteen months the kingdom has been at war. It required stout heart, she said, to face the renewed onslaughts of a foe who was profiting by Russia’s failure and she cxpected that efforts again would be concentrated against Ru- mania. The defensive of the Ruman- ian troops had proved their heroism to the world and have demonstrated that their series of disasters was due to lack of armament. “The noble ideals of President Wil- son, with which I am in sympathy” the queen continued, “touch closely our country, for Rumania entered the struggle in the hope of realizing na- tional unity with the other four mil- lion Rumanians beyond the jans. King Ferdinand hims been the exponent of principles of democracy. In a message submitted to parliament before the war he pro- posed on his own initiative that there be a fairer division of lands among the people, and he intended to set the first example by surrendering large estates to be divided among the peasants. “In the same message he asked the widest political rights for all his sub- jects, who previously had voted ac- cording to the amount of taxes paid.

YE\A}RS OR MORE OLD Percy Lee Discovers Blade in Farm- ington That Belonged to Race of Giants. What archaeologists believe to be an important discovery has bhcen made by Percy Lee, an artist, of Main street, in the form of a stone hatchet, at least 400 years old. The hatchet, which corresponds more to the outlines of a battleaxe, was found on the Farmington flats, in ground which had been turned over by a plow. It was not far beneath the surface. The hatchet weighs 11 pounds which leads archaeologists to believe it was wielded by men greater in stature than the present race. The handle had long, since disappeared and any inscription that might have been on the blade has been worn away by its" long stay in the earth. It is possible that the hatchet is thousands instead of hundreds of years old.. The Tunxis Indians made their home in the neighborhood where the axe was found but the instru- ment is thought to antedate these people. Mr. Lee has added the hatchet to his fast growing collection but may exhibit it at the Museum of Natural History and Art at the New Britain Institute. OPENS OONVENTION.
