ATTAGK COST NINE HIVES Five Men Drowned, Showing They Took to Small Boats Washington, Nov. 3.—Nine casual- ties as a result of the German torpedo attack on the American army trans- port Finland were reported to' the War and Navy Departments. Three of the men lost were mem- bers of the naval gun crew, four were members of the ship’s cjvilian crew, and two were attached to the army service. ‘The casualties were an- nounced jointly by the War and Navy Departments, with the assurance that | no further details regarding the acci- dent had been received. The first re- port received-stated that the Finland had returned safely to port and was only slightly damaged. The casualties on the Finland were: Naval Gun Crew.

The capsizing of one of the boats in launching might aceount for the drowning of the men. It is assumed that two of the armed guard were killed by the explosion’ of the torpedo and that the missing one | probably was blown overboard by the | explosion as was a seaman on the de- stroyver Cassin when she was torpe- doed recently. f A French Atlantie éenport, Nov. 2. —The American transport Finland is in drydock here. The vessel suffered | such slight damages from the German | torpedo which recently struck her puts to sea again. The torpedo struck | a coal bunker, which lessened the ef- fect of the explosion. Amniong those on board the Finland were several survivors of the crew of | the transport Antilles, which was tor- | pedoed and sunk some time ago.. Those injured on board the Finland are in a hospital here. STOLE AMERIOAN FLAG. sSilk One, Won by Sunday School, ! Taken From Church Pulpit. New Haven, Nov, 3.—Cavalry Bap- tist church, Rev.

Dr. Muck has resigned, but acceptance of his resignation is un- certain. i It was the regular Friday after- noon public rehearsal of the orches- tra, a society event as usual, but without the usual small number of vacant seats. Symphony hall, above which floated a flag in response to public demand for it, was filled. The audience was curious as there had been reports that the hall's license was to be revoked unless the anthem was played. The management of the orchestra anncunced after the concert that the and that Dr. Muck would lead the orchestra until the matter of his resig- nation had been decided. Major Higginson has decided to retain the services of his German conductor unless there is public demand for his removal. 5 Inserted into each program was a printed sheet reading, ‘‘The Star- Spangled Banner’ will be played as the closing number. The buzz of comment over this had not died down before Major Henry Lee Higginson, founder and principal patron of the orchestra walked on the stage amid applause. He said: “I have asked Dr. Muck and the orchestra to play ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.” They have never refused to play it. Last spring it was my earnest request of Dr. Muck that he remain in charge, as I considered it esSen- tial to the continued success of these concerts. “He has placed his resignation in my hands that no personal feeling against him may prejudice the welfare of the orchestra. To lose him would be a disaster. The matter rests with me. It will have my earnest consid- eration.” Dr. Muck then appeared on tie stage to lead. He shook hands with the major and, the audience, applaud- ing, stoad up to greet him. After the nounced, he received another great tribute of applause. Thus Major Higginson changed his announced intention of disbanding the orchestra rather than yield to public interference with its programs. Major Higginson Insists that Feder- al officials have exonerated Dr. Muck from suspicion as a dangerous enemy alien, but The Providence Journal, which started the agitation for the plaving of the anthem, demands that he be interned. Three members of the orchestra are still under Federal suspicion. TAKES THE VEIL. Stage and Enter Convent.

SOUTHERN BRAZI " SEES UPRISING Germans Gafising Trouble There, And Are Being Dismissed Buenos Aires, Nov. 3.—A German uprising is in progress in southern Brazil, completely paralyzing railway traffic, according to private reports received in rallway circles here. The strikes started in this district are said to be spreading to other parts of Bra- zil. *It ig reported that only the strict- est military measures are making the movement of any trains possible. The dispatches continue to report | “the severest military measure ' against Germans” in southern Brazil, where there are large German colon- ies. Details as to these measures and general conditions are withheld by the censorship. It is reported that all Germans have been dismissed from the Government ! service. | A Washington, Nov. 3.—Washington officials have been aware that a Ger- man uprising in Southern Brazil was being planned by Count Luxburg, former German minister to Wrgen- | tina, and other German agents. Anti-German feeling is now running at its highest crest in Brazil and there is no doubt here that the Bra- | zilian government will adopt the se- | verest military measures against the ' members of German rifie clubs in the | States of Rio Grande do Sul and San- | jta Catharina, in the southeastern panhandle of Brazil, where the up- rising is in progress. Unofficial news of the uprising reached Washington tonight after it had become known that the Ameri- can ambassador at Rio de Janiero had sent reports to Secretary Lansing | telling of the patriotic demonstra- tions made by Brazilians in Rio | Grande do Sul and Santa Catharina during which German rifle clubs and German newspaper offices were wrecked. \ STOLE OUR IDBAS, Examination of German U-Boat Shows Theft of Principal Patents. New York, Nov. 3.—Following an intensive study of the German sub- | marine mine layey U-C-5, now in Cen- | tral Park and renamed U-Buy-a-| Bond, oxperts reached the conclusion that Germany had deliberately stolen American brains and ingenuity to | further its undersea campaign against | belligerents and neutrals. The U-C-5, | which early in the year was captured with its crew by the Rritish naval | ferces, was brought to New York to | stimulate interest in the sale of Lib- erty bonds. Important, however, as its function was in arousing public interest in the bond sale, that service, it was declared Yesterday, had been far transcended by the d overy that to the minutes detail the German mine layver W constructed along lines originating in this country. In brief, the design of | the German mine layer almost dupli- | cated that of the Holland type of sub- | marine built for the United States| Navy by the Electric Boat compn.n)‘.l even down to the characteristic spin- dle-shape and non-watertight ‘super- structure. It developed that as soon as the U-C-5, which had come across the Atlantic in three Sections on the deck of a big steamship, had been set up | the Submarine Boat Corporation, the present owner of the Holland patents, started an investigation aboard the | craft to learn its secrets of construc- | tion. With this end in view the cor- poration employed Penni, Davis, Mar- vin & Edmunds, a firm of patent law- vers with offices at 35 Nassau street, to make a minute examination of the undersea vessel with a ‘view to de- termining whether American-owned patents had been infringed. The Sub- marine Boat officials who had prev- i iously made a casual examination of the hull and mechanism of the Teu- tonic craft were struck with the sim- ilarity between the construction and equipment of the German vessel ana that followed by their own company in turning out submarines for the United States navy. HEAVY PENALTIES. For Anyone Who Steals Apples During These Perilous Times. Willimantic, Nov. 3.—Invoking in a law passed by general assembly to protect gardeners, farmers and. those who desired to add to the food re- sources of the state by protecting | them against thefts of fruit and pro- duce, authorities in Windham and Coventry today secured conviction with heavy penalties for the stealing of apples by John Kramer and Roy Wilson of this place. In the local court the charge was theft of five bags of apples which they had in their possession when caught last night. | Each was fined $25 and costs. Deputy Sherff Harmon was on hand and re- arrested the men charging them with | stealing 30 bushels of apples on | October 25 at the Chandler farm in South Coventry. They had used an | automobile. Some of the apples were found in the men’s cellars. Justice Andrews at Coventry sent Kramer to jail for sixty days and fined him $10 and costs, while as Wilson was a first offender he was given 30 days and $10 and costs. MRS. LEWIS RELIASED. New Haven, Nov. 3.—Mrs. Mary Le'wis of Ansonia, who was being held at the county jail here as a material witness in connection with the inquiry into the sheoting of Frank Sandlak at Ansonia has been released, Cor- oner Mix stated today.

New York, Nov. 3.—The financial district continues to be dominated by operations connected with the war. Successful placing of the second Lib- erty Loan is a soyirce of much grati- fication, having proved the strength and the abilities of New York as a finangial center in a most remark- able fashion. This must be attributed to the loyal co-operation of the bank- ing fraternity throughout the whoie country. Thanks to the operations of the Federal Reserve law and the con- centration of banking resources, the huge strain has been met with scarce- ly a ripple in the money market. Business transactions with the banks, have gone along much about as usual, owing to the skilful conduct of af- fairs by the Money Committee; only $100,00Q,000 of the $200,000,000 allot- ted having been used for taking care of business interests. The outlook for the money market is satisfactory. Crop requirements and autumnal demands have been met without difficulty and time money is available to all good borrowers at reasonable rates. One effect of the huge bond issue is seen in the new security issues, which in October were barely $50,000,000, or about half the amount of a year ago. Since Jan. 1 domestic capital issues have been reported to the amount of $1,- 400,000,000, a decrease of $425,000,- 000 compared with the same ten months last year. Of course, there were other restraining influences up- on new enterprise, such as the un- certainty ‘0f profits, increasing taxes, advancing wages, new trade regula- tions, transportation difficulties, etc., all of which can be traced to the war. Whether money will flow more freely | into new enterprises during the next few months, remains to be seen. The country's vings, however, are being largely absorbed by the Liberty Loan and other additional loans will follow in due course of time; so that imme- diate conditions are not conducive to new flotations. The unfortunate plight of American railroads is being daily forced upon public attention and will require some sort of immediate relief. Under the strain of war traffic, equipment is rapidly running down, while the im- pairment of railroad credit by inaction of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion prevents necessary replenishment. If the roads are to meet the require- ments 6f ordinary traffic and the ex- traordinary emergencies of war, relief is imperative. Within a few days the Interstate Commerce Commission is to give another hearing, and there is a hope that just and reasonable ad- vances will be allowed to offset present high costs of operatfon. If the relief is adequate, the roads may recover the injury to their credit from the starvation treatment imposed by the | commission. Net earnings of several of our most substantial roads are, in spite of strict economy, falling to a point. that threatens reductions of dividends. The effect of these condi- tions is to still further damage their credit, rendering it impossible to at- tract the new capital needed for ex- tensions and {mprovements. Vast sums have been expended to meet the increases in wages, while relatively small amounts are also necessary to maintain dividends -and support railroad credit. Government regulation has, thus far proved a miserable failure, chiefly because the rate-making power has been in the hands of prejudiced and inexperi- enced men. The only step for the government to take is to give the rail- roads a fair chance, which is now | denied them. The present operation | of the transportation companies as a | $20,000,000,000; and their taking oyer | { by the government is a transaction al- together too hugo to receive serious tonsideration in times like the pres ent. i = The irregularities in the stock mare: ket were only such as must be ) Pected in these troublous times. '8 | vere declines occurred in many of i leading lssues, which in addition the uncertainties referred to aba were aggravated by the disturbance in Canada, arising from temporasy interruption of gold shipments heavy selling attributed to Germ sources. The setback in Italy also-d pressed the market on the theory. it will prolong the war. Trade a industry are still more or less .ol fused by the expansion of gowi ment _control, which has air reached a vast extent. The govern¥ ment is rapidly applying its price fixsg ing policy, which meets with genersl} public approval. Even merchants and manufacturers are in favor ‘OffS the present policy of stabilizing prices and stopping profiteering. The ernment is also succeeding in its forts to regulate the distribution’ food products and certain other s industries, while the food 'conse: tion campaign is bringing impe: economies. Needless to say, busin men are facing and solving m; highly perplexing questions, thou not without considerable anxi Nevertheless, the volume of ti generally speaking, continues exe ingly active. The tremendous . de: mands created by the war and whiel will continue with the vast expendi: tures of the Liberty\ Loan, preve: any decline in the grand total of dustry. A few of the less necessar lines of work are feeling the dive: sion, but the dountry as a whole 8 still enjoying prosperity, with oceas sional depression in spots. It shoul i be remembered that not all of th vast amounts now expended becausd: of the war will be wasted. 4 The outlay for ships over '$500,000, 000, will be a good investment. BEx penditures for new shipyards and mu- Zition factories will have considerabl permanent value and the enorme sums spent for feeding and clothingH armies is simply a shifting of expendia: tures and is not entire loss as mo of the food and clothing wouldib purchased anyhow. # 1 An active and fluctuating rharki must be anticipated for some tim 9 come. Liquidation has been Bevere and has apparently not yet run- its course, though rallies must o from time to time. In many eca: prices have-declined to a level entire ly disproportionate to dividend pro pects, which have not been serio impaired .except in a few instane The Stock Exchange has taken ‘pru dent precautions against aggravating the situation by artificial selling, and:if there is no doubt that the situation has been improved by the liquidation of the last few weeks. On the other hand, the end of the war is not in sight and its terrific wastage, accom: panied by the issue of such enormo obligations, is a depressing factor.’ Thus fan the credits which we have granted the Allies aggregate over '$3,= | 500,000,000, of which $1,860,000,000 1 went to Great Britain. Practically all ] of these vast sums will be expended in this country for munitions. . = HENRY CLEWS. ' ¢ DISOUSSED CONSERVATION.
