ACTION DEEMED POSSIBLE
German Embassy Calls Attention
to Situation Resulting From Raid
by TJ.53, but Doesn't Re.
gard Result as Remarkable,
' WASHINGTON. Oct. 12. (Special.)
A request from the United States that
German submarines should not at
tack even ships flying the flags of th
allies so close to American shores
would, under one stipulation, probably
be acceded to by the German govern
ment, in the opinion of Bources close to
the German emDassyhere. That one
stipulation is that the United States
should at the same time make the same
request of the allies with regard to
their warships and that the allies
should actually comply with ' the
request.
"If they should say to both sides:
"Please keep your distance, gentlemen,'
I should think that the request might
be' granted," said the official of the
German embassy. "If, on the other
hand, a note should be sent to Ger
many, as has been indicated might be
done, asking that the submarine activi
ties close to American shores be dis
continued, while nothing was asked of
the allies, we might reply with good
grace: 'We sent our submarines over
in the hope of torpedoing some of the
British cruisers which have been hover
ing off the American ports.'
Note to Britain Ignored.
"The note sent to the British govern
ment, which might be regarded as
covering the same ground, was sent, it
will be recalled, long before the visit of
the Deutschland to this country. Yet,
despite that note, there was a perfect
cordon of allied warships stretching
across the entrance to the Virginia
Capes from the time of the arrival of
the Deutschland until after her depar
ture. One of them entered the three
mile limit, in her desire to be close up,
while another played her searchlights
along the American shore.
"Now, if we are to be asked not to
do something which we have a per
fect legal right to Jo conduct sub
marine operations under the agreement
in existence with this Government, the
only condition being that we safeguard
lives, aside, of course, from the treaty
obligation that we must not attack
American ships even if they are car
rying contraband then there arises a
condition where we may demand some.
' thing in exchange for what stust be
admitted to be a concession.
Reciprocal Action Asked.
"We would demand I am assuming
all this action, of course, since the
United States Government has not even
made the request is yet only that the
eame conditions be applied to the war
ships of our enemies that this Govern
ment desires shall be applied to" our
war submarines.
"As a matter of fact, we do not know
that the German government intends
to repeat the performance of the U-53.
I have noticed that all th. newspa
pers speak of the submarine's Vork as
big success. Perhaps so, but her bag
of ships was, after all, not striking, if
an average is struck. Five ships in
one day is big, it is true, but in count
ing In the number of days for her to
make the long passage both ways I
do not think her average would equal
that of submarines operating in the
i North Sea or the Irish Sea from time
to time and elsewhere. The big point
' which helped her success was the ele
ment of surprise."
Investigation of Germany's subma
rine operations off Nantucket appar
ently has eased the minds of officials
here, but it was said authoritatively
tonight that should the situation de
' velop prolonged paralysis of American
- trade in the Atlantic or any similar in
Jury to vital American interests, a
' hroad issue might be raised transcend
' lng the specific questions of interna-
tional law discussed in connection with
i the U-boat raid. '
Shipping Paralysis Possible.
Such considerations as the disloca
Hon of shipping along the Atlantic aea
. board, the great increase In marine in
surance rates and the possibility of
serious freight congestion and railroad
embargoes have been foremost in the
minds of officials, it was indicated, and
' will determine largely the Govern
' ment's policy if an extensive submarine
. campaign is attempted on this side of
'. the Atlantic.
A high official expressed the view-
that the unprecedented issue involves
questions which can be considered only
" in an extra-legal light. The sinking of
the Dutch steamer Bloomersdijk. flying
a neutral flag and plying between two
neutral ports, is understood to be one
of the considerations that has led of
. ficials to view with apprehension the
future of submarine operations off
American shores. What measures Ger-
many may contemplate against neutral
, trade out of American ports is a mat
- ter of lively speculation. Regarding
the Bloomersdijk case specifically,
: however, the State Department is un-
derstood to feel that this Government
ha no cause for complaint.
' So far the department has made no
. extensive investigation of the effect of
) the Nantucket raid on American trade,
, and Is expected to consider that inci-
' dent solely on its merits as an in-
dividual case in international law.
i' Should such raids continue, however,
the resultant restraints on" American
Interests may become a serious consid-
eration.

K1NGST0NIAN1S SAFE
BRITISHERS PUT TO SEA
Coal Freighter Is First to Leave
Boston Since Attacks by German
Submarine on Vessels Off
United States Coast.
BOSTON. Oct. 12. The British
steamer ICIngstonian. reported as
among those torpedoed by a German
submarine off Nantucket last Sunday,
is safe in port, according to word re
ceived today by John M. Thocnas, of
this city, local manager of the Leyland
line, which owns the steamer.
Mr. Thomas said his information
showed that the ICIngstonian was thou
sands of miles from Nantucket last
Sunday.
As the Ivingstonian is in the service
of the British Admiralty, Mr. Thomas
was not permitted to Indicate the port
at which she had arrived, but he said
it would take her two weeks of steam
ing at her usual speed to reach Nan
tucket, so that it was evident she was
nowhere near the scene of the sub
marine's operations in these waters
last Sunday.
This information served to confirm
the opinion held by marine men here
that the report of the Kingstonian's
loss arose from a confusion of her name
with that of the Christian Knudsen, the
Norwegian tank steamer sunk by the
U-boat.
The first British steamer to leave
this port since the appearance of the
U-boat was reported sailed today. She
is the Corunna, a coal freighter, bound
for Loundburg. A few hours later the
Leyland liner Memphian. with a big
cargo, largely grain, - sailed for Man
chester, England.
The steamer ICansan, which was
held up by the German submarine early
Sunday morning and was later allowed
to proceed to this port, where she took
on horses for Genoa, Italy, is now ex
pected to sail tomorrow. The delay in
her departure on account of fear of
the submarine off the coast has been
costly to her charterers, the Franco-
Canada line, it is said, as the charter
price is understood to be $2300 a day.
or nearly $100 an hour.
there are 100,000 voters in Indiana who
say little, but are for Hughes, and
that nothing will stay a clean sweep
for Hughes and Fairbanks and the
state ticket, including the two United
States Senators. '
ELECTION PROBE STARTED
Government Investigates Reports of
Numerous Frauds.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. The Depart
ment of Justice, through the United
States Attorneys, in some cases sup
plemented by special agents, is inves
tigating charges of election frauds in
violation of Federal laws in Detroit,
Denver and in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The
charges in most instances are vague
in character, but the department has in
structed that they be looked into and
announced that the investigating force
is at the disposal of any District At
torney who needs help.
United States Attorney Kinnane. at
Detroit, has advised Attorney-General
Gregory that election frauds have fre
quently occurred there.
DENVER, Oct. 12. United States At
torney Harry B. Tedrom today declared
he knew nothing about a Federal in
vestigation of alleged election frauds
in Denver.
"I have heard nothing whatever
about it." he said.

State pride in the candidacy of Mr.

William P. Walter, an attorney of
Fort Wayne, Ind., sent the Hughes
Alliance today the names of 107 men
of his personal acquaintance. all
Democrats, who have announced their
support of Mr. Hughes and enrolled in
the alliance. This indication of
Hughes sweep in Indiana is borne out
by information gleaned by R. B. Fisher.

completed a -.trip through that state

Banish Vessel, More Venturesome
Than Britishers, Takes Easterly
Course Six Americans Are
on Big British Craft.
NEW YORK. Oct. 12. With all lights
extinguished, the steamship Adriatic, of
the White Star line, carrying 853 pas
sengers and 18,000 tons of war muni
tions, was believed tonight to be speed
ing south from this port, well within
the three-mile zone of safety. Her an
nounced destination was Liverpool and
her course to that city would lead east
from Sandy Hook. Apparently she fol
lowed in the wake of the f relght-lauen
Pannonia and Minnehaha. The Danish
vessel Hellig Olav, more venturesome
than the British steamers, took the
easterly course after clearing the bar.
They were the first vessels to leave
New York for European ports since the
submarine raid of Sunday.
The Adriatic left her dock this after
noon, but after reaching Sandy Hook
dropped anchor outside the harbor. As
night fell no lights flashed aboard the
big liner. It was believed, however.
that she headed south soon after 7
o'clock.
No British or French cruisers which
might act as convoys were sighted, al
though it was believed they might pick
up the lMier after she was forced to
leave the three-mile limit. It was
thought the almost simultaneous de
parture of the Adriatic and the two
British freighters might be significant.
There were four Americans among the
38 passengers in the Adriatic a first
cabin. Two other American citizens,
Filipinos, also were aboard. There
were 108 passengers in the second
cabin and 100 in the steerage. There
were no cheery farewells at the pier as
the steamer cast off and most of those
aboard wore serious looks. All the
lifeboats of the upper tier were un
covered and ready for instant use.
The Hellig Olav carried about 100
passengers In her first and second cab
ins and 250 in the third cabin. One of
the passengers was L. C. Helveg-Lar-sen,
ex-Governor of the Danish West
Indies.
Captain L. Hoist said Just before sail
ing that he had no orders to change his
course during this trip. The steamer
has a large cargo of grain.
Check Kiting Is Charged.
G. J. Summers, aged 32 years, was
arrested last night at Second and Burn
side streets by Detectives Coleman and
Snow, and charged with passing a
worthless check at Erlckson s pool hall
last week. The man is said to have been
trying to pass another check when ar
rested.

Member of Republican Advisory Com

CHICAGO. Oct. 12 James A. Hemen.
way. of Indiana, member of the West
ern Republican advisory committee, re
turned today from a two weefts" trip
through Western states in the interest
of Hughes and Fairbanks. He believes
that the 'Republicans will carry Cali
fornia, Washington, Oregon, Utah and
Wyoming.
"In all these states I found the Re
publicans and Progressives working In
harmony for the success of Hughes and
Fairbanks." said Mr. Hemenway. "I
was in California five days and I found
that the differences between Republi
cans nd Progressives have been
healed. The state is well organized. In
nearly every section.
"At the registration In San Francisco
last Saturday the Republicans had
much the best of It. The southern
part of the state is strong for Hughes.
I do not think there Is any question
about Utah and Wyoming frni a Re
publican standpoint. Colorado appar
ently is a close state with both sides
claiming victory."
Charles W. Fairbanks. Republican
candidate for Vice-President, will con
clude his Western speaking trip at
Aberdeen. S. D.. Saturday, October 14.
and will go to his home at Indianapolis
for a brief rest. Next Tuesday he will
begin a three days' speaking; trip
through Ohio.
