Ackerman,. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) ' " ' Berlin, Oct. 3. Efforts of the Von Tripitz party to force a resumption of submarine warfare will be defeated as the result of the conferences now being held in secret sessions of the reichstag committee, it is now generally believed. The Tirpitzites, however, hope to force a public discus sion of the whole question when the reichstag recon venes Thursday. Ernest Basserman, gray haired, national liberal party leader and one of the most important figures in the reichstag, declared today after the question has been v aired in the budget committee meetings, it will be fully discussed in open sessions. "We wish to live in peace and friendship with Amer ica," said Basserman, "but undoubtedly there is bitter feeling here because American supplies of ammunition enable our enemies to continue the war. "If America should succeed in forcing England to obey international law, restore freedom of the seas and pro ceed with American energy against England's brutaliza tion of neutrals, it would have a decisive influence on the political situationbetvveen the two countries." "Do you think submarine warfare will be renewed?" he was asked. "That must be decided by the- foreign office, the min istry of marine and the general staff," was the reply. "England is our chief enemy. We must recognize this and defeat her." Tierce Battle Ragln. London, Oct. 3.

Only 25 to 35 per cent of tho usual milk supply reached New York today according to varying estimates from both aides of the big milk strike. Hospitals and the babies still hid their share of fresh milk, but restouioiits in many cases were without any and householders found only small poitic-nu of their required amounts at their doors this morning. Meantime state authorities rushed work on an investigation of both the alleged distributing and producing com bines now at loggerheads. A referee will take testimony in an effort to ascertain if the dairymen's league the farmers organization is a combination in restraint of selling and whether tha Big Three distributors are guilty of any price fixing conspiracy. The distributors aro making a bitter fight on Food Commissioner Dillon. One charged him today with being interested from the commission standpoint. Dil lon retorted with "liar." Meantime the health department de clines to let down tho barH to unpastuer- lzed milk and hence no relief at pres ent is in sight. - ',. .

Clarence W, H. Walker, wife aud two little children, had a miraculous escape from death late yesterday when their big touring car crashed down a precipitious bluf in to a canyon a hundred and fifty feet below. The Walkers arrived in Ukiah today by stage and told their story. Walkers apparently bears a charmed life. Pour years ago he was an aviat or.

The Walk ers vere en route to Ukiah from Ban Praueisco when the steering gear broke and the machine plunged headlong over tho cliff. For 50 feet it -was a sheer drop. Then the big touring car tore throuph a patch of dense brush, break ing off a tree four Inches in diameter. Walker applied the brakes, and at tempting to hold the car straight with one hand, he threw the children under the cowl with the other. Ho cruoched low nnd shouted to his wife to lie down in th' touneau. Whu-.i the nind descent of the automo bile was finally stopped by the brush, the Walkers found themselves 150 feet below' th.' road and without i scratch. The only damage to the machine was tho smashing of one front wheel and the bending of a front axle. The glass panes of the headlight were intact. Wnlkcr's driving goggles were torn off in the descent and were left hang ing on the bough of a tree. Leaving tho machine, the Walkers miido their way down thej-'onyon to a farm where they spent the night. This morning ropes were attached to the suitcases in the tonneau of the Walker machine and they were hauled up to tho road. To haul up the auto mobile will be a difficult feat. Walker is a son of D.
