RUMOR OF AN
ACCIDENT TO
u. 5. CRUISER
Officials Deny but Seek
Information

Washington, Nov. 10.--Secretary Daniels
today ordered the division of operations
in the navy department to get into com
munication as quickly as possible with
the cruisers North Carolina and Tonnes
see to learn if one of them had met with
a mishap, as had been rumored during
the day The secretary and other navy
officials said they did not feel the slight
est apprehension for the safety of either
vessel, but thought it advisable to allay
any alarm by getting definite advices
Rumors were in the air throughout the
day that the North Carolina had been
blown up by a mine at Beirut, but so
far as could be discovered all reports
originated within the United States. Of
ficieis pointed out that while cable COM
munication with Turkey is slow, they
were in touch with Constantinople and
Beirut, from which points any accident
would have been promptly reported.
Similarly British ships near Turkey
would have reported to the British ad-
miralty The navy department last
heard directly from the North Carolina
and the Tennessee on November 2nd The
former was at Beirut Syria, and the
latter at Mytilene, off the coast of
Greece. On November 9, inquiries were
sent by cable by the department to the
two vessels to learn the basis of reports
that one of the American cruisers had
landed marines, but no answer came
Secretary Daniels has ordered that the
messages be traced.

London, Nov. 10. .35 p. M.-The
claims of the contending armies in
the eastern and western theater CT
the war, especially as concerns the
situation in west Flanders, dovetail-
ed in so few respects tonight as to
leave only one big fact on land or sea
undisputed That was the destruction
OF the German raider Emden and the
trapping of the German cruiser Keen
igberg, the latter in a Palm Lined East
African river under circumstances
which read as If they were taken from
Stevenson. The British marine insur-
ance rate was almost instantly cut in
half-for never since the days of the
Alabama has there been another cem-

Emden: cheers broke forth at the an
nouneement, and for the moment, the
struggles of the armies in France, Bel

cover $14,oOo,OOO from directors and
former directors of the st. Louis &
San Francisco Railroad were dismissed
in the federal court here this after
noon.
The dismissal of the suit which was
filed by the receivers, is part of the
plan of the receivers to disclaim la
bility of the Frisco Railroad on
$4,000, 600 bond issue of the New Or
leans, Texas & Mexico Railroad. 1t
was printed several months ago that
the receivers purposed contesting that
bond issue and plans for the dismissal
of the suit then were underway, it
was said These plans were halted by
the death of James Campbell, one of
the defendants in the suits.
The situation was outlined in the
federal court today by Loomis john
son, attorney for the receivers. He
announced that the dismissal of the
suit would not preclude the filing Of
a similar suit, and that such suit
might be re-filed after the liability of
the Frisco on the s2600O,OOO bond is
sue had been determined.
The receivers desire to contest the
liability of the $26,000,000 bond issue
and felt that to do this they should
dismiss the $14,0O0,O00 restitution suit
against directors and former directors.
1t was felt that the receivers could Sot
consistently claim that the road was

Armies Active

Yet all these armies were at each
others throats-the German and Rus
slams clashing in cavalry engagements
along the German frontier, the Rus
SLAMS still harrassing the Austrians
Galacia and the French and British
and Belgiums uniting to hold what
still appears to be a tremendous Ger
man attempt to break through the al
lies line in the vicinity of Ypres.
Many dispatches speak of the move
ment of German troops eastward from
Belgium as forecasting the necessity
of reinforcements along the eastern
frontier but neither the French nor
German official statements this after
noon indicated any slackening in vio-
lence of the German attacks in West
Flanders. In fact, the French state
ment says that between the sea and
Armentieres the opposing forces were
both acting on the offensive.
AS to the outcome of this double
offensive the rival contentious are ab-
solutely contradictory, the Germans
claiming slow progress near Ypres,
and the French asserting that the Ger
man attack there was beaten back
In view of what seems to be sus-
tanned and concerted German EFFORT III
this region, the reports of the German
retirement are hardly born out, al
though it is said they have moved
their headquarters still further east
this time from Client to Alost.
Aside from the military aspects oil
the situation what stood out today was
Germanys reported threat to cut OFT
the food supply which the United
states Is sending to Belgium If the
Belgians did not return to their cities
and make an effort to resume their

The British government issued to-
night another so-called white paper"
reviewing the incidents which pre-
coded the declaration of war against
Turkey. 1t deals in the main with the
Goeben and Breslau affair, and sets
forth that the Grand Vizier was at
least apparently opposed to dragging
