i
NEWPORT, R. I., Oct. 9. Tlie whole
eale raid ori foreign shipping south of
Nantucket lightship Sunday was the
work of one submarine, according to
reports of American naval officers.
Hear-Admiral Albert Gleaves, commanding-
the torpedo-boat destroyer
flotilla which did such remarkably
speedy rescue work yesterday, said to
night that the reports of all his officers
agreed that to the best of their obser
vation one raider only was concerned.
This boat presumably was the TT-53,
which called at Newport Saturday aft
ernoon to mail a letter to Ambassador
Eernstorff and then put to sea without
taking on an ounce of supplies, al
though she had been 17 days off her
base, according to the statement of her
officers.
U-boat's "peed Baffles.
Admiral Gleaves said he could easily
understand the positive statements of
the captain of the Nantucket lightship
and of sailors of the torpedoed vessels
that more than one submersible was
concerned. The U-boat, he said, was
very fast and appeared to have been
handled very cleverly. It was easy, he
pointed out, for her to disappear on
one side of a ship and then show up
unexpectedly at another spot. .
Doubtless, he believed, she had sub
merged and reappeared often enough
to mislead any but a keen' professional
observer and to create the Impression
that morn than one sea terror was
operating.
Ship Korced tu Wait Tarn.
This opinion would seem to be borne
out by the statements of many of the
' refugees that the submarine had more
business on hand than she could take
care of at once and was obliged to
request one steamer to wait the turn
while another was -being put out of
commission. Lieutenant - Commander
Mailer, of the destroyer Ericsson, who
witnessed the destruction of the Ste
phano, said he was positive that only
one submarine -was In the vicinity at
the time.
Today the raiding had ceased, at
least for the moment The known list
of the victims of the U-boat's. Sunday
exploits remains at six, notwithstand
ing reports from the Nantucket light
ship that three other ships, the ident
ity of which could not be learned, were
sent to the bottom.
Cruiser Attacked, Is Rumor.
There also was a persistent rumor,
without verification, that a British
cruiser, one of the allied patrols sent
to the submarine zone, had been at
tacked. There was a flurry of excitement to
night, when the destroyer Samson re
ceived orders to proceed to Buzzards
Bay. The purpose of the trip was not
announced, but it recalled at once the
rumors circulated yesterday that a
strange submarine had been sighted
by fishermen in that vicinity.
Rumors Are Persistent.
The strict censorship put -on all
radio communication and on statements
by officers and men of the fleet was
the cause of a big crop of rumors.
The most persistent was that concern
ing the sinking of a British cruiser.
Some reports had it that more than
one cruiser had gone down, and the
stories were so circumstantial that the
ban on comment by naval officials was
lifted long enough for one officer of
high rank to state that such reports
were absolutely without foundation. A
rumor that three British liners had
been sunk met with a similar denial.
Ten more refugees were landed here
tonight by the Manville destroyer-tender,
which picked up 10 Chinese members
of the crew of the steamer Strathdene.
Destroyers swept the waters on a
wide area today In a vain search for
the crew of the steamer Kingstonian,
who were seen by members of the
steamer Strathdene to take to their
boats before their vessel was sunk.
Xo Life Lost Is Belief.
Rear-Admiral Knight, commander of
the Narragansett Bay naval defense
district, did not appear to be alarmed
at the lack of success in finding' the
missing men and saw no reason to
change the previous reports that, the
raid was achieved without loss of life.
It was the commandant's opinion that
the Kingstonian's crew had been picked
up by an eastbound steamer 'which
did not care to divulge her position to
lurking submarines by reporting the
fact by wireless.
Notwithstanding, the lull in sub
marine activities today, shipping men
were by no means reassured. If only
one raider were concerned she might
be waiting only to replenish her sup
plies, they believed and this gave rise
to a renewal of reports that elaborate
methods of supplying foreign sub-

Story of Baseball Guino Sent Just
When It Happened to 300 Of
fices ot Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9. An unprece
dented feat in the telegraphic trans
mission of news was accomplished by
the traffic department of the Associated
Press today when one operator sitting
in the stand at Braves' Field in Boston
was enabled to flash over 18,000 miles
of leased wire the story of how tho Bos
ton Americans beat the Brooklyn Na
tionals in the second game 'of the
world's baseball series.
Taking dictation from the Associated
Press representatives who were cover
ing the game, this operator, J. A. Bates,
through the telegraphic connections ar
ranged for tho service, was able to
send the story to 300 Associated Press
offices and newspapers In the United
States, tick for tick, into each -office
simultaneously as far west as- San
Francisco, as far north as Duluth. and
as far south as New Orleans.
The operator sent the story over this
18.000-mile circuit continuously for two
and a half hours and the instant 51c
Nally crossed the home plate with the
winning run in the 14th inning, the
flash "Boston wins" had gone the
length and breadth of the country.
Heretofore, ... in reporting world's
series, the news has been relayed at
Chicago and other points.
" The experiment today of making a
complete transcontinental connection
was reported entirely successful.
Five thousand additional miles of cir
cuit received the story through relays,
but this was by reason of news condi
tions. Tho ls-000-mile circuit, how
ever, stands as a record in telegraphic
history.

NEW YORK. Oct. 9. (Special.)
Count von Bernstorff, the German Am

Shadow Lawn today:
1. That his information indicates
that no further merchantmen will be
stink by German submarines on the
United States side of the Atlantic.
2. That the U-boat commanders, en
gaged in the operations yesterday,
strictly observed the pledges given by
Germany to the United States Govern
ment.
3. That all future subiflarine opera
tions will be conducted in conformity
with the assurances hitherto given.
Move to Atlantic Regretted.
President Wilson expressed regret to
he German Ambassador that the
U-boat campaign had been extended to
the Atlantic Coast of tho United States;
that the sinking of ships in close prox
imity to the American coast necessar
ily created a bad Impression in the
United States; that he was having an
investigation made, and that if that
investigatiotr should establish failure
to observe recognized principles of in
ternational law he would hold the Ber
lin government to "the complete ful
fillment of Its promises to this Govern
ment," to quote the statement he is
sued before receiving i'a Ambassador.

BOSTON, Oct, 9. Luck was with
Captain Hans Rose, or the commander

There was evidence today that when
he set out to attack enemy shipping
there was not a British warship within

For some time, according to men
who follow marine affairs, there had
been only three British cruisers en

For 14 Innings tho Brooklyn attack,

But for 14 innings this Boston de
fense formed a long wide wall of steel
and stone back of Babe Ruth, and
against this wail Brooklyn rebounded
to her second defeat.
The score was 2 to 1, Boston predomi

rHILADELTHIA. Oct. 3. Charles E.
Hughes In a speech at Metropolitan
Opera-house here tonight vigorously
assailed t:ie Administration for Its
foreign and Mexican policy and out
lined the Republican party programme)
in two respects, as follows:
"We do not propose to tolerate any
Improper interference with American
property, with American mails or with
lefritimate commercial Intercourse.
"No American who Is exerrlslnsr only
American risrhts shall be put on any
blacklist by any foreign nation.
Submarine Caars Mesttloaed.
In addition to references to the seiz
ure of American mails and the Urltl.-h
blacklist of American firms, Mr.
Hughes recalled ..he sinking; of the Lusl
tanla. repeating; the declaration con
tained In his speech of acceptance that
had the American tJoTernment left no
doubt "that when we said 'strict ac
countability. we meant precisely what
we said, there would have been no de
struction of American lives by the sink
ing! of tho Lusltanla-"
Karlier in the day Mr. Hushes had
authorised tho Idsuatn-c of this state
ment: "Mr. Hushes was asked today for his
views with repect to the present sub
marine situation. He refused to discuss
It. He said he was not 1 control of
official agencies and was not in re
ceipt of oiri.-lHl Information. He said
further that he had no desire to em
barrass the Administration in dealinit
with any current matters as to which
the Administration had the whole re
sponsibility." Attacks More Hitler Than Ever.
-Mr. Hushes attack on the Admin
istration's foreign and Mexican policies
was couched in more vigorous terms
than any he had heretofore em
ployed. "The Administration asks for a vote
of confidence," he said, "but its de
fenders certainly shout in protest when
its record is, critically examined. When
Its humiliating failure to safeguard
American rights is held up to deserved
condemnation it seeks to escape by as
serting that Its conduct had no al
ternative but war; that to disapprove
Its conduct Is to favor war."
That Mr. Hughes characterised as an
"astounding assertion" which could not
avail to "divert attention from the seri
ous errors committed.
"We all desire peace," Mr. Hushes
said, "hut we desire peuco to be honor
ably maintained by correct policies, by
firm insistence on known rights, by de
serving and holding the esteem of the
world. We have not been kept out of
war; we have not enforced our rights;
we have sacrificed our honor."
Ignoble. Personal War Charged.
Act after act by the Administration
in its dealings with Mexico was ctted
by the nominee to uphold his conten
tion that the country had not been kept
out of war. but that it had waged "an
ignoble, personal war" against Huerta
in the days of his power. John Llnd's
alleged authorlxatlon to state that
"Huerta would be put out." the occu
pation of Vera Cruz, the sanding of the
punitive expedition Into Mexico and
the failure of the American troops to
utilize Mexican railways were points
upon which Mr. Hughes touched. .
"Has America forgotten CarrlzalT"
he asked "What was that? Peace or
war?" -
"One brave officer," the nominee said
fie had been Informed, "had been
stricken with pneumonia, was com
pelled to travel four days in an Army
wagon over rough roads in Intense suf
fering and died In the camp to which
he was thus removed."
Peace Called Intermittent.
"This followed the 'curt refusal by
Carrania authorities to allow Amen-
n troops to use the roads.
"We have not been kept out of war,"
Mr. Hughes repeated. "We. have had
Intermittent peace without honor and
intermittent war without honor.
"We cannot say now." he added, "in
what particular sort of mess we shall
find things in March next, but thin
much la certain: If entrusted with re
sponsibility, we shall be able to have
it understood that there will be no
meddling in matters which do not con
cern us; that we shall not simply talk
of the rights of other states, but shall
observe them and. further, that at all
events the lives and property of Ameri
can citizens will be protected."
Ksrsaraa Pol ley Attacked.
After denouncing the handling of the
Mexican situation. Mr. Hughes passed
to the European war. the outbreak of
which he said "found us with prestige
