before settlement is made, TO per rent arc paid within 30 days and SD to 90 per cent within from so to 90 days.
 Those remaining over unsettled arc due to various causes requiring yerv careful and rigid Investigations. but there is no greater factor in delaying
 tho decision than the incomplete, not to say, the absolute lack of support in
 filing. We recognize that the delay !n settlement of claims does not alto eesher rest with the claimants as We find leck of interest at times with the local agents in giving matters of this Kind the attention that Is required. To that end our claim departments have route agents. whose duties are to trave, over the territory Investigating the hArdling of claims through the local agents and instructing the local agents as to the proper and prompt methods Of handling claims when filed. This as to claims filed without own line; and
 where the shipments originate on our line 1t is permitted of much quickec handling than where shipments pass over two or more lines, making if noe essnrv in many instances to handle through from shipping point to destin- a.ion In order to arrive at the respon- slbility of the causes forcing the claim and in such cases as this it necessitates our handling with the claim depart. ments of other lines to the end of lringing about an adjustment. which. when accomplished. is always relief to our claim department. they are anxious to close out any claim. but must have that investigation that as- sures us of the legality of the claim 5 required by law.

French troops were gathering for attack. The battery Commander authorized two shots. At command the gun crew sprans to their posts about the mortar, already adjusted for Its target. a little less than six miles away, the gun muzzie pointing skyward at an angle of about co degrees As the gun was fired the projectile could be seen and followed in it's course for several hundred feet. The report was not excessively loud.
 Before the report died away the crew were busy as bees about the gun Ono man cranlSed the barrel down to a posi- ton for loading.
 A second threw open the breeeh and extracted the cartridge case; four more seized the heavy shell and lifted to cradle; seventh rammed 1t home; num- Der eight gingerly inserted the cartridge half filled with vaseline like explosive the breech was closed and the gun pointer cranked the gun again into position. In less than 90 seconds the men sprang back from the gun, loaded and aimed.
 A short wait and the observer from his pest near the village ordered next shot, 50 meters nearer" The gun pointer made the slight correction necessary. the nor tar again sent it's shell through the air against the village which this time, it was learned. broke into flames and the men went back to their monday rest.
 Along the roadside through the Cote Lorraine were here and there graves with rude crosses and penciled inscriptions. At the western edge of the forest the battle panorama of the Mouse valley suddenly opened out, the hills falling away again steeply to the level valley bed The towns below, St. Mihiei and Bannoncour, seemed absolutely deserted, not person being visible even around the large par racks in the latter town.
 While the party officers and specta- tors, including the correspondent, were watching the artillery duel on the far horizon or endeavoring to pick out in- fantry positions, a shrapnel suddenly burst directly before them high in the air. Other shots were fired and it was seen that the shrapnel were exploding regularly above the barracks a mile ana d half away, the French evidently suspect ing the presence of German troops there.
 10-mile ride southward led to the position of the Austrian 12-inch battery. Here, as in the German batteries, the war work in progress went on with a machine like regularity. The men tt the guns went through their work with the deft- ness and absence of confusion of high class merchanics The battery had been firing all day at Fort Lionville, e400 meters away and the battery commander was endeavoring to put out of action the only gun turret which still answered the fire. The task of finding this comparatively minute target, 10 or 30 feet in diameter, at a range of six miles, was being fol- lowed with a minute accuracy which promised eventual success.

GERMAN TELLS 0F
 SUBMARINE RAID Had Fine Chance at British Fleet, But Orders Pre-
 vented Using Torpedo

F Munich October 4.--tSpecial)-A sailor gives the following account of the Ger man submarine raid to the coast of Scot land in the course of which the U-15 was sunk:
 We played the concertina when only 1500 yards away from the enemy, and he noticed nothing; but often we mo- ticed nothing ourselves when our motors were running more noisily than usual. Our ears did not hear what the concer- tina played, but we recognized the tune by the movements of the performer, by his face, by his fingers as they slipped over the stops. by his feet as they beat time, and by the instrument itself. and we all shouted the song together, shouted as loud as our lungs would let us. Yet we heard nothing of our own singing, SO noisy are the engines of a subma- rine
 What do I know of our trip to the Scottish coast? Almost nothing. We only knew one thlng-victory or death It is certainly not comfortable in nut is not quite a dancing hall. and what the lungs have to breathe is hardly mountain air. Petrol that's what 1t is; petrol all the time. One gasps for air when the thing comes up to the sur face,
 We were ten days away. We did not know where we were going. TO death or victory; I don't know any more my self at present. said our commander. Then out we went with the other sub marine to sea-first together, then we separated. We never saw the U-15 again; the enemy did for her. We went along the whole of the English coast, sometimes under water, six hours work and six hours sleep; ten long days. There were no orders; you could hear nothing for the noise.
 You are like deaf mute, you hear with the eyes and talk with the hands and feet, as it suits you. A little kick means. You there! Wake up! The mate wants you. There is deuce of lot of work for the small crew, particularly when the boat is under water and every body has to be at his post. So it went on for days; now above the waves: now below. That was the only change we had.
 Then one day there was sudden sen- sation. One after the other of us was allowed to leave his post for a minute and have look through the periscope, It was the finest sight of my life! There. like a flock of peaceful lambs, lay a British squadron as needless as if there were no German sea-wolves in armored clothing.
 For two hours We were at the ad- vance post under water. We could have certainly fetched a big battleship under water to keep us company, but we were not allowed to. We were on patrol duty and our boat had to so on. I wonder what Our comma nder fe1f uka-~so c,oso to the enemy, having to leave the torpedo in its tube. He must have felt like q hunter who, on the day before the open ing of the shooting season. suddenly sights splendid stag only 90 paces away"

a fter a reasonable time for delivery has elapsed. Unless claims are so made the
 carrier shall not be liable
 As to this clause 1t has been diff ficult to explain to many claimarts why, if their claim was just, they diG | not have the right to present t at any time and insist upon settlement and as to this will state that as far
 as tlis company Is concerned we were very slow and sympathetic in making
 the change on the grounds that wo first thought a creditor had the right to waive any limitation statute and no one else had right to cimplain, but after thorough and careful consid- tration of the subject by the commis- sion it was thought advisable not to guilty of discrimination and that all lines should act alike and all shippers in whatsoever territory situated bs treated alike. So I would caution each of you to see that your claims are filed within the four months period.
 In the filing of claims the companies which I have the honor to represent have had printed forms which aid ma terlally the claimants in preparing and presenting their claims. which further aids in the prompt adjustment Of claims. This form can be had by np- plication to all agents and gives the requirements necessary as to properly presenting claims that you may have on cvercharges, damages or losses and in the preparation of such claims many of you may feel that this is a hardship or requires time possibly unnecessary. but should you have a claim agajnsr q firm from which you have purchas Eocds as to quality or error in ship ping you invariably take the trouble to write the wholesaler pointing out the discrepancies. The preparation of a claim to . railroad takes no lonre~ than the time that you devote in writ ing a letter of this kind.
 File your claim with the local agent. as this is the quicket channel for ac- tion. Invariably there Is certain in- forma tion at his station that is ncces- sary to have in support of the claim and can best be had at the time the claim Is filed. In many cases claims for overcharges or minor damages can be settled by the local agents, but where this cannot be had and the claim when presented is submitted on the forms aa before mentioned. the final settlement will be greatly expedited through the general office when this form 10 used. Therefore. l wish to stress the point of the importance of using this form in properly presenting your claims.
 With one of the companies with which l am connected 1t receives nforo than 100000 elaine per annum, or 1000 claims per working day. Of this vart number handled. which naturally brings about very great correspondence, which might also add that the interstate commerce commission has ruled that all c'aims must be thoroughly investigatc6

 of you have doubtless taken the tron-
 ble to investigate the problems thst t confront the operators of railroad, or what is commonly termed "railroaG- ing" To describe it briefly I will use Just one damn thing after another '' and Is no different in it's operation to the commercial enterprises of this country except on larger scale.
 The wholesale and the retail spsr- chants have wares for sale or com modities within which they deal. The railroads have one commodity for sale. that of transportation. Of this we are the sellers and you are the purchasers and in it's sale there are many prob lems that confront us the same IS in your business Should you purchase from wholesaler bill of goods and their delivery is not in accordance with the invoice you make claim on the Or should you sell a com modity to a consumer and not in ac- cordaEce with your representation tn, claim is pade upon you by the con- sumer. then it is Q question of adjust ment In the sale of transportation on the part of the railroads many claims will arise and on this subject wish to devote the limited time which has been allotted to me in attempting to explain how such claims can be best and prompt settlement had as we recognize in the adjustment of such claims we make friends and retain tho co-opcratiof1 of the purchasers of trans pcrtatlon. which we at all times seek and appreciate.
