NO AMERICANS KILLED IN ZEPPELIN RAIDS State Department Has Been' So In- formed. ‘Washington, Sept. 9—No Americans were killed or injured in the Zeppelin rald on London, according to a state department despatch received late to- day, from the American embassy at London. The message, a four line cable, said the Zeppelins had dropped bombs on the city and that there were a number of casualties. ‘While the state department officials did not care to commit themselves definitely at present to an official opinion on the aspeot in international law of an attack by airships upon London or any other such city, it was indicated that presuming the presence of a defensive force in the cty, there could be no legal objecton by a neu- tral power whose citizens were killed during such an attack. The state de- partment's {nterpretation of the law is that the fact that the place is “de- fended” is sufficient to relative the attackers from the necessity of giv- ing notice befors a bombardment. o the case of London, regardless o the question of fortifications, it 1s pointed out that there are thousands of British troops in this city and that there are many anti-aircraft guns in place on high buildings for the spe- cial purpose of repelling attacks.

Thus Far Confined to Firms Manufac- turing War Supplies. Chicago, Sept. 9.—Flive Chicago firms, said to have contracts for the manufacture of shell casings, or ma- chinery for making them, are the ob- Jects of strikes by machinists, accord- ing to a story printed In the Evening Post today. The Post adds that strikes of ma- chinists are bein gorganized against seven other firms said to be manufac- turing war supplies. The story states that there are no strikes against firms known not to be in the munitions business. “The machinists,” continues the Post, “state that they are striking for an eight hour day. They deny that they are being furnished information by any representatives of foreign’ gov- ernments.” ‘William Schoenberg, head of the lo- cal machinists, said: “We want better hours and better wages, and that is all. The report that we have singled o munitions plants can be answered by stating that our men are at work in munitions plants throughout the coun- Ty J TAFT SAYS REFORMS HAVE FAILED OF PURPOSE Blames Radical Spirit in Politics for Blocked Progress. Seattle, Wash.,, Sept. 9.—Former President William H, Taft, today told the American Bankers' association, in convention here, that practically all of the radical reforms attempted in con- nection with_politics, railroads, and “big business” had failed of their pur- pose, causing the nation to halt in its progress, and that there must- now be a “retracing to the line of modera- tion and justice.” In giving an “economic and political summary of the generation just clos- ing Mr. Taft sald that the latest outstanding feature appeared to be the widespread growth of the spirit of the brotherhood of pan, despite the fact that the war had 'shattered the dreams of_universal peace. In his opening remarks, Mr. Taft outlined the growth of largt combina- tions in business; their successful adoption to politics, and how the “chase of the dollar” had absorbed all the people until they suddenly realized they were almost in the grasp of a plutocracy. It was then that agitation for reforms swept the coun- try, he said, and public indignation became acute. CARRANZA TROOPS SHOUT TO AMERICAN SOLDIERS That They Will Not Fire Upon Ameri- can Troops.

REGRET FOR AMERICANS Unable, However, to Acknowledge Any Obigation to Grant Inderfinity— Would Submit Question’ to The Hague Tribunal. Berlin, Sept. 9, Via London, Sept. 10, 2.36 'a. m.—Germany’s note to the United States bearing on the sinking o fthe White Star Line steamer Arabic on August 19, which as communicated to the American ambassador, James W. Gerard for transmission to Wash- ington, is in the form of a memoran- dum_under date of Sept. 7, the text of which follows: Recognized Arabic as Enemy. “On August 19 a German subma- Tine stopped the English steamer Dusley about sixteen nautical miles south of Kinsale and was on the point of sinking the prize by gunfire after the crew had left the vessel. At this moment the commander saw a large steamer making directly toward him. This steamer, it developed later, was the Arabic. ' She was recosnized as a nenemy vessel, as she did not fly any flag and bore no neutral markings. Why Arabic Was Torpedoed. “When she approached she altered her original course, but then again pointed _directly towards the subma- rine. From this the commander be- came convinced that the steamer had the intention of attacking and ram- ming him. In order to anticipate this attack he gave orders for the submarine to dive and fired a tor- pedo at the steamer. After firing he convinced himself that the people on board were being rescued in fifteen boats. According to his instructions, the commander was not allowed to attack the Arabic without warning and with- out saving the lives unless the ship attempted to escape or offered resis- tance. He was forced, however, to conclude from the attendant circum- stances that the Arabic planned a vio- Tent attick on the submarine. Snubmarine Had Been Fired Upon- “This conclusion is all the more ob- vious as he had been fired upon at a great distance in the Irish sea _on August 14—that is, a few days before —by a large passenger steamer ap- parently belonging to the British Royal Mail Packet company, which he had neither attacked nor stopped. “The German government most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the command- er. It particularly expresses this re- gret to the government of the United States on account of the death of American citizens. No Obligation For Indemnity “The German government is unable, however, to acknowledge any obliga- tion to grant indemnity in the mat- ter, even if the commander have mistaken as to the aggressive intentions of the Arabic. “If it should prove fo be the case that it is impossible for the German and American governments to reach a harmonious opinion on this point, the German government would be prepar- ed to submit the difference of opinion, as being a question of international law, to The Hague tribunal for arbi- tration. pursuant to Article 38 of The Hague conveution for the Pacific set- tlement of international dlsputes. “In so doire, it assumes that, as a matter of conrse, the erhitral decision shall not be admitted to have the im- portance of a geners: decision on the permissibility or the converse under internatidnal Jaw of German subma- rine warfare.” ENDORSED ADMINISTRATION OF SAMUEL GOMPERS. Resolution Passed by Connecticut Fed- eration of Labor, New Haven, Conn., Sept. 9.—After passing resolutions endorsing the ad- ministration of President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, the Connecticut Federation of Labor today decided to continue its stand for the minimum number of working hours, especially for females and minors. The legislative committee was instructed to bring a bill before the netx legislature demanding _the eight hour day for occupations filled by women and minors. A motion was passed unanimously favoring the appointment by the state of an inspector conversant with the metal trades. The convention placed itself on rec: ord as endorsing the strike in progre: at the Capewell Horseshoe Nail com- pany at Hartford. The operatives in that factory have been ona strike for 13 weeks and the strike is still in progress. It was resolved to aid the strikers in a financial way. It was re- ported that conditions at the factory. were intolerable, which caused strike. the HOLYOKE CAR STRIKE 18 DECLARED OFF.

FRIDAY, should SEPTEMBER 10, 1915 Arranging for Big Foreign CreditLoan TO BE UNDERWRITTEN BY AN AMERICAN SYNDICATE. LOAN OF HALF BILLION An Ell{lMM Delegation of Anglo- French Financiers Are Expected to Arrive in New York Today to Deal With the Situation. New York, Sept. 9.—The first of a series of negotiations through which it is expected to float a big forelgn credit loan in the country, popularly believed to be in the neighborhood of $500,000, 000, will be held here tomorrow after- noon in the private library of J. P. Morgan. Strongest Banks and Trust Compani Prominent New York financiers, in- cluding the presidents of some of the city’s strongest banks and trust com- panies. will be present, informally rep- Tesenting the American syndicate of moneyed interests which probably will attempt to underwrite the loan. On the other hand, representing the Brit. feh empire, France, and perhaps Ru sla, will be the six members of the Anglo-French commission appointed to Qeal with the situation here on behalf of their governments. Foreign Financiers Due Here Today. The members of this commission are believed to be aboard the British steamer Lapland, which is due to dock here tomorrow forenoon. n their arrival they will be met by New York bankers and, in all prodability, by representative of the treasury depart- ment, acting unofficially. They will be the guests of Mr. Morgan during the afternoon and at 2.30 o'clock will be given a reception in his library, at which they will meet some of the men who hold America's purse strings. No Programme Announced, Beyond the day's programme, no an- nouncement was forthcoming tonight as to the commission’s plans. It was learned, however, that tomorrow's meeting with New York financlers Dprobably will be the first of a number of meetinsg at which the members of the commisston will be brought face to face with representative men of the American financial world from_every Section of the United States. Shoul the stay of the commission here be it prolonged, it was considerea {Eey ehat bankers trom Fhitadomnie Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul, New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis, Kan- sas City, Denver, San Francisco and other big cities would be Invited to visit them in New York and discuss the details of their undertaking. _ Jealousies to Be Discarded, _:xzm will be no attempt, it was on the part of any one group of powerful bankers to monopolize the commission or to attempt to direct its energles. Jealousies of the financial world and the conflicting Interests of some of its dominant figures, so far as possible, will be subordinated, it was said, in & whole-hearted attempt to meet the commission half way in its endeavors to adjust the present com. plicated sftuation. That, at least, was the programme tonight. Will Be Given Widest Scope. "As leading New York financiers have indicated that the commission would be given the widest opportunities to fa- miliarize itself with every phase of the situation from the many-sided Amer- ican viewpoint, it was assumed that the labors of the body here would ex- tend over a considerable period of time and that a vast amount of pre- liminary work would precede actual negotiations as to the terme of the loan. A visit by the commission to some of the most powerful financial centers of various sections of the United States was believed within the realm of possibilities. Eminent Delegation of Financiers. No more eminent delegation of finan- clers has ever crossed the Atlantic on a single ship, in the opinion of bankers here. The chairman of the commis sion, Baron Reading, lord chief justice of England, formerly attorney general of England, s regarded as one of the foremost financlers of his country. Since the beginning of the war he has been in intimate touch with the af- fairs of the British treasury and has helped, In no small degree, to ehape the empire’s financial policy.
