GREAT SINKING ALLIES
SHIPPING CAUSE PANIC
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—The sink
ing of six steamers off the Atlantic
coast by German submarines has
caused a panic in shipping circles.
All crews and passenger steamers
are safe except the Kingston, no re
port of which has been received.
The Kingston was a former paddle
steamer built on the Great Lakes
for trade with Canada and was o! !
three thousand tons burden, having
been when constructed years ago
the largest ship of her type. The
boom in shipping caused the old
steamer to be remodelled for the
munition trade.
NEW YORK. Oet. 9.—The market
became demoraliezd today following
the reports of the destruction of the
shipping off New York harbor, al
though later reports show that the
orignal advices contained false re
ports of the sinking of some steam
ers which were not torpedoed. The
insurance increased 15 per cent and
the International Mercantile Marine
cancelled all its sailing dates.
NORFOLK, Oct. 9.—Notwith- |
standing the warnings which have |
been issued to them of the presence j
of at least four German U boats in j
the west Atlantic, nine British
steamers cleared today and sailed
direct for Europe with considerable
contraband, much of which is muni
tions of war.
The reports coming this evening
allege that Alied warships are now
patrolling the danger zone, search
ing for the U boats and their ren
dezvous.
SERBS ASAIN DEFEAT
BULCARS, MACEDONIA
ATHENS, Oct. 9.—The Serbs con
tinue to worry the retiring Bulgars
and the fighting between these two
nations is severe in the extreme.
The Serbs today crossed the Cerna
and occupied Skochivir after a
bloody struggle taking one hundred
Bulgar prisoners.
BUCHAREST, Oct. 9.—The Ru
manian forces have again re-crossed
the river having once again caused
the retirement of the Bulgars owing
to their flanking drive on Dobrud
scha. This again strengthens the
position of the Russians and Ru
manians who are following up the
retiring Teutons.
VIENNA, Oct. 9.—Pontoons are
being shipped to the Mackenzen for
ces for the purpose of carrying the
war across the Danube. The facil
ity of the Rumanian crossing has
endangered the flanks of the Bulgar
and German lines on two occasions,
and nullify the drive towards Kon
stanza. For this reason it will be
necessary to fight on the northern
side of the Danube.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 9.—Fierce is
the name of the fighting now on the
Zelota Lipa where the Germans and
Austrian forces have combined to re
sist the advance of the Russians.
This is the most active artillery
work so far shown in the Galician
campaigns. The Russian gains
were considerable.
BERLIN, Oct. 9.—The Russian i
attacks have all been repulsed on
both the Bug and the Lipa rivers. j

BIG GAME ENDS IN
FAVOR OF BOSTONIANS
BOSTON, Oct. 9.—In the longest
game in the history of the World
Series Boston won by a score of two
to one. The victory is accreditted
to the master strategy of Carrigan
-who used Gainor as the pinch hitter
for Gardiner in the Fourteenth in
ning when he singled and M’Nally
tallied, winning the game.
Brooklyn in the first half of the
first inning scored on Miller’s cen
ter a home run in an otherwise
featureless game up to the begin
ning of third. In the last half of
the third Scott scored when Cut
shaw fumbled Ruth’s grounder.
Ruth was out on first when Janvren
forced Hooper, Olsen to Cutshaw.
The game was deadlocked from
the Fourth to the Fourteenth.
Brooklyn’s brilliant work at the end
of the Ninth saved a dangerous si
tuation by the retirement of Janv
ren preventing Boston scoring until
the end of the fourteenth, M’Nally
scoring on Gainor’s single.
The line-up was as follows, Bos
ton: Hooper right, Janvren second.
'Walker (and Walsh beginning the
tenth) Center, Hoblitzell first,
Lewis left, Gardner Third, Scott
shortstop. Brooklyn (in the same
order) Johnston, Cutshaw, Myers,
Daubert, Wheat, Mowrey, Olson,
Short. Batteries: Ruth, Thomas,
Smith, Miller. Score Boston two
runs, seven hits, one error. Brooklyn
One run six hits, two errors.
The game was marked generally
by faultless play and the attendance
again large.
STRIKE SITUATION IS
NOT CHANGED GOTHAM
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—The strike
situation here is unchanged and has
practically settled down into a pro
longed battle between the traction
company and the traction employ
ees. The main strike is on the sur
face lines which are still badly pa
WILD ANIMALS AT DREAM.
America’s greatest wild animal
picture in seven parts will be shown
at the Dream tonight. These
wonderful educational and exciting
pictures took Salisbury over two
years to take. Over 50,000 feet of
animal life was taken to get this
feature of 7000 feet and no animal
life was neglected. From the
trilling episodes of capturing alive
of great mountain lions, bears and
lynx to the visit to the breeding
grounds of our fowl and the catch
ing of record weight trout with a
light rod—no phase of active sport
has been omitted. This is a picture
not only educating but one with a
“Punch”
tronized and give an inefficient
service.
The traction company has still
great numbers of guards, but with
the police being supplied them in
ever increasing numbers, they are
preparing to dispense with their
own gunmen, so that Gotham can
pay the bill.
There have been some disorders,
and sympathizers and strikers con
tinue to make demonstrations. It
was reported that efforts would be
made to try to settle the strike but
owing to the fiasco attended the ef
fort to get the other labor organiza
tions to help the tractionists win,
the company is confident of victory
although the cost is tremendous.
They have cast iron injunctions
against the unions issued by the
courts and they feel satisfied of
winning in the end.
The labor papers are at outs over
the advisability of the strike to sup
port the traction workers, but the
leaders have so much politics to
play that it was doubtful at any
time they really intended to carry out
their threats. This is now realized
in a good many unions.
The desertion of the tractionists
is being condemned in the radical
and industrialist papers as shame
ful.

SAYS VON BERNSTORF
SHADOWLAWN, Oct. 9.—Count
yon Bernstorff made a special trip
to interview Wilson relative to the
sinking of the ships in the waters
off the Atlantic coast, four British,
one French and one Norwegian boat
having been reported sunk at the
time by German divers.
Wilson issued a statement today
saying that the State Department
is making a full investigation and as
sures the people that the United
States rights would be fully respect
ed and Germany would be held to
strict acountability for the fulfil
ment of the American demands to
which she had agreed. Germany had
no right to make promises unless
there was a willingness and deter
mination to fulfill them.
Practically all the destroyers and
cruiser fleet are now guarding Am
erican waters.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 9.—
Secretary Daniels says that the Ger
man submarine acts are legal from
a naval point of view. No state
ment is made by the State Depart
ment.
LONDON, Oct. 9.—The submarine
situation in the North Atlantic is
the subject of comment in the even
ing papers here. The general feel
ing here is that it is the proximity
to American territory ami waters
which is so exciting the Atlantic
coast.. Most London firms have
wired their steamers to sail as usual
as it is believed that there is no
greater risk now than at any other
time from the German U boats.

ANOTHER HUGE STEAMSHIP
MERGER ALEXANDER PROJECT
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9.—Presi
dent Alexander of the Pacific Steam
ship Co. today announces that ne
gotiations are under way for a mer
ger or working agreement with the
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies
Steamship Co. for the purpose of
in; ugurating an Atlantic and Pacific
intercoastal trade via the Panama
Canal. This gigantic merger would
practically turn over the entire coast
trade into one vast consolidation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.—It is
now reported that the transconti
nental railroads are behind the big
steamship mergers which are being
effected and it is . the intention to
corral absolutely the intercoastal
trade as well as the traffic via the
canal. Already there is talk of de
manding an investigation of this
trustification of the industry as dis
tinctly illegal.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Oct. 9.—
While no official reports have been
received of the gigantic steamship
mergers which are now being con
templated it is known that Presi
dent Galen Stone of the Atlantic
line has been associated with Alex
ander in the recent consolidation ot
the Pacific Coast Steamship Co. and
the Admiral Line. It is held to be
properly a subject matter for in
vestigation if one firm, no matter
what may be the commercial connec
tions, obtains a complete control of
the intercoastal trade. It is likely
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission may be requested to make
an unofficial investigation and that
a report of its findings be submit
ted on the subject.
