tOXDOX. Oct. One statement In
The. German note, the falsity of which
ts glaring, reads as follows:
The German government further do
ries that the German navy in sink
ing ships has ever purposely destroyed
lifeboats with their passengers."
Many cases could be quoted in reply
to this denial.
Two recent cases are the Llandovery
Cktle. the Canadian hospital ship sunk
in the Atlantic, and the French steamer
Lydiana. sunk off the north coast of
aain July is.
The Llandovery Castle was torpedoed
nd sunk off the Irish coast on the
nicht of June 17 while returning from
H.ilifax with no wounded on board.
The German submarine made no effort
to aid the survivors and even tried to
ink at least one of the lifeboats.
After the Lydiana had been tor
ydoed two whaleboats and a raft were
lowered. The German submarine
a-xmmed both boats, cutting them in
two. After several fruitless attempts.
the submarine succeeded in sinking the
raft and then disappeared without help
ing the survivors.
I'-Boat Crew Mlrtfcful.
Nino men of the crew of 42 were
tricked ud later, having clung to wreck
axe for more than a day. The second
engineer of the Lydiana reported that
the crew of the submarine had laughed
t him when he accused them of de
liberately trying to kill all on board
the steamer.
Speaking in the House of Commons
Vesterday. James Thomas ilaoamara,
financial secretary of the Admiralty,
raid there was Rood reason to believe
that all German destroyers and tor-
j-do-boats which had their bases at
Oatend and Zeebrupge have escaped
to German ports.
Kvcry possible step was tnken to
Intercept them, he said. but. he added
that seeing that passage could be made
at night and that Dutch territorial
Crater could be used, there waa no cer
tainty that the measures taken would
fee efficacious.

will give us IS capital ships that will
be the equal of any afloat at the time
they are built. The battleships an
battle cruisers authorized in the first
three-year programme will be unex
celled by those of any other navy, an
the country may rest assured that in
the new vessels authorized our con
structors will produce the most power
ful and effective of fighting craft.
The imperative necessity of turning
out as rapidly as possible all the ae
stroyers and otheY types of craft need

for the necesrities of warfare for th
time required us to concentrate upon
this class of construction has led to
the fear in some quarters that in de
voting so much necessary attention to
the building of smaller crart, we might
fail some in looking out for the future
in building the capital ships on which
the strength of the Navy ultimately
depends.
Schedule of 1016 Duplicated.
"This the naval authorities have al
ways had in mind. The three-year pro
gramme adopted in 1916 provided for
10 battleships and six battle cruisers.
Now we ask for -as many more, to be
built as those formerly authorized are
completed and facilities become avail
able.
"The total expenditure authorized
upon this new programme is $600,000,

being a third of this. $200,000,000.
This is exclusive of estimates for
emergency appropriations for new ves
sels to be built under war urgency,
which total $140,000,000. and also of
estimates for continuing and pushing
the other programme, the emergency
construction of destroyers under way
and other craft.
Total Oatlay Immense.
"Including the $600,000,000 for which
authorization is requested in the new
three-year programme, the total esti
mates of the department for ship con
struction, including armor and arma
ment, amount this year to $972,090,000.
"The total amount I recommended for
appropriation m-xt year for ship con
structions, that la, for completing ves
sels already authorized and for new
vessels, is $572,090,000."
ERZBERGER POORLY CAST
FORMER RECORD UNFITS HVS
FOR PACIFIST ROLE:
Centrist Leader Notorious for Policy
of Extreme Ruthlessness
Avowed la 1915.
LONDON, Oct. 22. It is recalled by
the correspondent of the Times at
Berne that Mathias Krzberger, leader
of the German Centrists and a member
of rhe government formed to convince
the outside world of the peace-loving
character of this government, in a
newspaper article written in February,
1915, expressed sentiments quite the
contrary of those he Is now supposed
to entertain. He wrote:
"The greatest ruthlessness is in real
ity the greatest humanity. If it should
be possible to destroy the whole of
.ondon, that would be more humane
than to allow one of our fellow coun
trymen to bleed to death on the battle
field, because such a radical cure would
lead most speedily to peace.
"England has stolen from us more
than 400 merchant ships. The answer
to this should be that for every Ger
man merchantman one Knglish town
or village will be destroyed by our
airmen."
The German newspapers are laying
great stress on the supposed attitude
of Herr Erzberger on the peace ques
tion. They refer at length to his plan
for a league of nations.
Newspapers here almost without ex
ception view the German reply to Presi
dent Wilson with Impatience and dis
trust. "Germany Still Impenitent" is
the caption on the editorial of the
Chronicle, which dismisses the reply
as abviously inacceptable.
The Graphic is more optimistic and
says: "ertaiiy, tne uermans are get
ting slightly nearer the point of view
upon which the allies mean to insist."'
The nigger In the woodpile, in tne
German reply, according to the ti
press, "is the desire for an armistice
based on an elaborate estimate of the
rival forces as they are today. This,
the newspaper says, is a disingenuous
twist of the Avilson conditions, ana
continues:
"We dare not consent to a suspen
sion of hostilities unless we can obtain
n October the terms we shall dictate
before July to an enemy who is broken
and beaten to his knees.

Bought in the East for less because of the backward season there, these suits combine
the style, and materials women are asking for without the seemingly necessary high price.
Everyone of them was made to bring nearly the price wholesale that we will sell them at.
Not alone favored conventional navy, black and oxford,
but burgundy, plum, brown and taupe besides. Plenty of
distinctive styles and plenty of simple tailored models. AND
ALL SIZES.
Think of soft, lovely wool velour with shawl collars of
nutria fur, of handsome serges and velvets (with and without
fur), of fancy and plain silk linings, and you get some
idea of what to expect.
This is the first BIG suit opportunity we have offered this season, .
and we do not recall having seen any presentation to compare with
this hereabouts in months so we urge immediate, interested attention.
