Details of how an attempt, by a Ger- man submarine to blow up the bridge | over the Tay at Dundee some time ago was frustrated are published by | The Dundee Advertiser. A British air man observed a large submarine lying | on the sandy bottom of the river near | Dundee. An alarm was immediately given, 4nd numerous mine sweepers and destrovers wera soon in the vieinity. The wire ropes of the sweepers struck their mark and a depth charge was | lowered. A patrol boat then dropped a very heavy charge, which exploded with tremendous force. Oil and kage came to the surface, and s afterward found thirteen dead German sailors. ? Two guns and a large part of the wreckage salved are now on exhibition in Dundec. a INSIST ON KAISER'S ARREST. Coalition Government Determined to Punish Former Emperor. London, Nov. 30, via Montreal.— The coalition government's policy if it is returned to power will be to in- sist upon the personal accountabili- - of former Emperor William for the crimes for which he was personally responsible, said Sir Frederick Smith, British attorney general in an elec- tion speech at Wimburne yesterday. The attorney generai deciared it was the government's intention to send Germans interned in England back to German GETTING GERMAN FOOD. People of Alsace-Lorraine Take That Hoarded By Hun. Strasbourg, Nov. 30.—Tt is difficult | to get at the real food situation of the reconpuered French provinces. Visitors there are now finding in the populous | centres that good food is to be had in plenty, through generally at high prices. Sometimes, however, food may obtained at astonishingly rea- sonable rates. At the same time visitors are told that In many places persons had been unable to obtain even the card al- lowance of food, although with money in hand to pay for it. The supposition that there always was plenty of food for the population but that it was held in reserve for the German army seems to be supported by the fact that provisions are now most plentiful in towns where strong garrisons were stationed. Departure of the garrisons released food re- services for general use. .pald ia another case, while a | how long some of its important pl | will | Brockton, Ex-Pres.

Steel and Pig fron Markets i | | | The Iron Age says: New inquiry and particularly that representing export demand from many sources has given a new turn to steel trade sentiment this week, ater a fortnight of absorption in cancellations. »Gonerally producers have been stiffening agaiast cancellations uniess directly due to government action and they have now been aided in this stand by the appearance of an unex- pected number of filling-in orders and by the fact that outside of the scrap trade’ prices have been maintained thus far. There is little disposition to over- rate this buying, as it is generally rec- ognized as limited to the meeting of necessities which only war could have pushed aside, and likely to develop into a that will reinforce prices. So far as the export buying is con- cerned the considerable range prices paid and the lack of tonnage show that in turn of a comparatively consumen: as ve plate 0.2 a large free market no more than sellers have any definite plans. Export have sold at 3.50c. per Ib, or c. above the government price in ,000-ton transaction, and 4c. was 250-ton sale was made at 6c What will come of the 200,000 tons of plates for Japan, much of it at 8c., on which deliveries were not permit- ted by the War Trade Board, has not been decided, but the buyers expect a revision of the price in view of the idleness of their shipyards in the in- terval. The Steel Section of the War In- dustries Board has notified all steel manufacturers that it will discontinue allocation of steel on Nov. 30 and thereafter dealings will be directly be- tween Government and other purchas- ing agents and the manufacturers. A conference at Washington, Dec. 11, between' the manufacturers and the Price Fixing Committee may result in extending official prices; with or with- out change, for another three months, but there is a growing feeling in favor of an early return of the industry to a free basis. The action of one railroad in seek- ing a legal release from an assignment to its cars bought at high prices by the Railroad Administration and the possibility, of like steps in other cases bring the question the whole price structure. So far as agricultural bars are concerned, the §5 concession made several months ago may vet turn out to the advantage of the mills, since the contracts are firm and were in line with definite prices for implements and for the farmer's wheat. The plans of leading independent steel interests for the formation of an export company under the Webb act are rapidly taking shape. Al- ready 28 companies representing an ingot production of 20,000,000 tons a year have given informal approval and a New York charter will soon be secured for the Independent Steel Product corporation, taking in a ver Jarge part of the capacity outside the Steel corporation. A marked reduc- tion in the amount of steel exported through merchant firms and brokers | will result from the new organization. The co-operating companies plan to devote about 10 per cent. of their output to export trade regardless of fluctuations in domestic demand. Nothing definite has developed con- cerning the large amounts of pig iron and steel sald to be required for Furope. The need is not immediate nd the supply of shis is problem- matic: Automobile manufacturers pressing for early deliveries of shects and other forms of steel, some them expecting to resume the manu- facture of pleasure cars on a large scale by Jan. 1. Their orders for alloy steels will partly occupy some elec- trie fuznace capacity that has bheen devoted to steel for guns. The leading interest has not been soliciting business and that policy may continue until it definitely known nts government work. In both pig iron and finished n terial neither buyer nor seller making commitments for the future. The continued cuiting down of coke supply by influenza is limiting pig iron output and this will tend to hold prices. Weakness in odd material ordinarily affects pig iron, but has not done sg as vet. is be kept on ‘Ex-Pres. Taft, Fox's theater, Dec. 16. —advt. BAYONETS BIGHT BOCHES Mass., Soldier Is Awarded Honor Medal for Fighting at Battle of Cantigny. Brockton, Nov. 30.—Having killed eight Germans in bayonet duels in the terrific fighting at Castigny, Private | John Assad, Co. L, 28th infantry, has been cited and decorated for extreme bravery. The citation arrived at the home of Mrs. James Campbell, 93 Cherry street, who was interested in the career of the young man since he came here from Syria about 14 years ago. He is 22, and enlisted in the regular army just after the United States entered the war. His citation, made by order of Major General Bul- lard, was given by Major H. K. Loughry, division adjutant, and is as follows: “The division commander cites the following man for conspicuous de- votion to duty: Private John Assad, Co. I, 28th Infantry. During the at- tack at Cantigny, May 28-30, 1918, he, single-handed, killed eight of the enemy with the bayonet.” During the latter part of the attack he was severely gassed, and for weeks he was unable to see, but he writes to Mrs, Campbell he is slowly recovering, of | is, therefore, not) movemeat | } in the sudden re- | are [ ened shippings, minor | 31 WEST MAIN STREET ...
