BETHLEHEM STEEL PLANT
 DAMAGED $4,ooo,ooo
6ytFire Yesterday Which Virtually Destroyed No. 4 Machine Shop.

South Bethlehem. Pa Nov 1o.-Un- official estimates tonight of the loss caused by the fire which today virtu- ally destroyed the number four ma chine shop of the Bethlehem Steel company here placed the damage be- tween s1,0O0,000 and $4,000.0O0. Many persons who viewed the damage ex- pressed the opinion that even the iat- ter amount was too small. They call- ed attention to the fact that the build ing destroyed recently was recon structed and equipped with new ma chinery at a cost of $3,000, 900 and that sec guns and large quantities of other war material in process of manufac- ture either were destroyed or badly damaged. A number of gun carriages, of a consignment of several hundred which were completed and were to have been shipped to England today were dragged out safely. but the ma jority of them were destroyed Esti- mates placed on this material by many dollars and it was said that very. lit- tie of it escaped destruction or ir- reparable damage.
 Workmen employed at the burned structure said that the spark which caused the fire could easily have been extinguished with shovel of sand, but that while one workman was get ting the sand another tossed. bucket of water on the blaze, causing it to flare up and ignite the oil.
 All departments at the plant were being operated as usual tonight and it was said that work of rebuilding the burned shop undoubtedly would be started almost immediately.

27 Americans
 on the AnCOna
AMBASSADOR PAGE CABLES THE
 STATE DEPARTMENT
DETAILS ARE LACKING
Washington Officials Feel Certain That Liner Was Trying to Escape When Torpedoed.

Washington, Nov. 10.--About twenty seven Americans are believed to have been lost with the torpedoed Italian liner Ancona, according to a cable to the state department tonight from Ambassador Page at Rome.
 Lansing Awaits Details.
 No further word came from Ambas- sador Page during the night. Secretary Lansing kept in touch with the tele- graph office of the state department until nearly midnight. hoping that ad- ditional despatches would tell definite ly of the fate of the missing Americans and throw some light upon the manner in which the Ancona was attacked. Believe Liner Was Trying to Escape.
 Such information as has been re- ceived caused officials to regard it as very certain that the liner was att tempting to escape when she was sent to the bottom. For this reason, in spite of the evident feeling over the loss of American lives, so far there has been an absence of the tension in official quarters which was apparent after the destruction of the Lusitania and Arabic.

House of Lords
 Debates Finances
GIGANTIC SUMS SPENT sTAeeER
 FINANciERs
MAY BE FORCED LOAN
Lord Devonport Says Country Cannot Go on Indefinitely and Maintain It's Financial soIveney.

London, Nov. 10, $50 D. m.-During the debate in the house of lords this evening on motion of Viscount Peel declaring it to be the duty of the gov ernment to exercise more effective su- pervision and control of naval and military expenditures, Baron Devon port said the country could not go on as it had been doing indefinitely and maintain financial solvency. He add ed that the situation was one of great gravity.
 Bulk of Expenditure.
 The Marquis of Crewe, lord presi- dent of the council, who replied, said that the main bulk of the expendi- ture was on account of the importation of munitions and loans to the al- lies and the British dominions.
 Lord Peel, in support of his motion, said that the figures which were given as to the expenditure on war and civil establishments for a full year approached very nearly to the aggre- gate amount of the income of the na- tion. The gigantic sums which were being spent were staggering to the ablest fnanciers and great caution was necessary in controlling national finances.
 He doubted whether the government was sufficiently serious in enforcing ed only half-he%@sedly in restricting the excess of imports and. while ad- vising the nation to practice economy, there was no evidence that the gov ernment was setting an example in economy. ~ Forecasts Forced Loan. Lord Davenport thought it likely that the government would have to re- sort to a forced loan. We cannot go on indefinitely and maintain our fin ! ancial solvency." he said. There is no doubt that the next war loan will be subscribed. But what of the loan after that. and the loan after that again ?'
 Close Door to imports. Could not the government, he con- tinued. close the door to goods not es- sential to the country's existence? He estimated that the country imported from s25o o00. 900 to $500, ,00o, 900 worth of goods which could well be dont without. The government, he urged should have courage to recast the system of separation allowances, Sd that no family should have more thar | it received before the war. This woule save from $10o,O00. 900 to s150, 1000, 900 6 year.
 1 Army and navy pay sheets should also be rigidly scrutinized. because ht believed there were shoals of men liy. | ing on the public purse who were giv. ] ing no adequate. return in. service.

The number of passen- gers on the Ancona is placed at 482. and the crew has been estimated yari- ously from 50 to 160.
 May Be Other Survivors.
 The Ancona carried boats for the ac- commodation of 2,500 and it is possible that some of the boats are still afloat and may bring in additional survivors in the next A hours.
 The Ancona was torpedoed Tuesday morning and Tunis despatches to the GiornaIe D'Italia gives ad ramatic through brief. account of the attack.
 Attempted to Escape.
 A submarine approached the An coma towards noon," says this account attempt was made to escape at full speed"

London, Nov 10, 9.05 p. m.-The re-. newed activity of German and Austrian submarines. especially those in the MediteFranean, is in evidence by the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona and the attack on the British transport Mercian, has again brought to the front the easing vigilance required by the navies of the allies to secure the safe transport of troops needed in the near east.
 The news of the sinking of the An coma. which reached the British public today in despatch from New York, created a sensation, and was compared with the destruction of the Lusitania. the London evening papers heading the report of her loss with the words An other Lusitania.s
 a Anxiety for Transports.
 Naval writers believe that the navy will be able to contend with the sub- marines in the Mediterranean as was done in. the waters around the British Isles, and already two of them are rel ported to have been sunk, but for the moment there is natural anxiety for the transports which are proceeding east, and because of the possibility of interference with the campaign in the Balkans. Swhere troops are so neces- sary.
 Allies Holding BuIsars.
 The Anglo French forces already here are believed to be more than holding their own againsts-tF4e report ed attacks of the BulgariaEs who are. trying to destroy the little army be- fore endorsements can reach it. But az the Serbians are driven back by the Austro-llerman and BuIgarians and the latter receive additional supplies of munitions, they will be able to as-i sume stronger offensive in the south. ss
 With the French reoecupation of Veles, however. the position of the Bulgarians at IUskup and west of that town is precf fous.
 Russians More Aggressive.
 On the other fronts there is much fighting despite the unfavorable weather conditions. The Russians have by repeated attacks, gained some ground around Riga and Dvinsk, have driven the Germans further hack from the Dvina river. and in the south are repeating their thrusts, with the ob-i 3ect of preventing the Germans and Austrians from entrenching.
 In fact, Generals Russky. and Ivan- off and their colleagues are proving that it3is dangerous for the Germans to weaken their fronts to support the Balkan. western lines.
 The Italians likewise, continue their aggressive tactics and have added an- other mountain position to their gains in Tfentino
 :. The British are having a rather quiet time while the French in the western zone have had to contend with only few minor attacks There is a report current that the Germans con- template another offensive in the west such as they put into effect a year ago.

CATCH OF COD LIGHT OFF
 COAST OF LABRADOR
Higher Prices Will Give 1t an In-
 creased Value of $2ooooo.

St. Johns, N. B., Nov. 10.-Although the total catch of cod off the Labra- dor coast in the fishing season just ending was somewhat less than that of last year, the higher prices obtain ed gave it an increase in value esti- mated at $200,000. More than 10000 men and women were engaged in the fisheries, in which S52 vessels were employed. The women, numbering about a thousand, were employed in caring for the fish landed at the nu- merous stations established along the coast.
 The fishermen are now preparing for the winter herring fisheries off the west coast of Newfoundland. Reports received from. the coast indicate that there will be more activity thxp usual in this direction, because of the cur tailment of imports to Canada and the United States from Europe as a re- suit of the suspension of fishing in the North sea.
