BRITISH AVIATOR
 SINKS SUBMARINE
Squadron Commander BigswOrth Drops Bombs on German Craft
 Off Belgium Coast.

LONDON, Sept. 17.-A German submarine has been destroyed single handed near Ostend by Squadron Commander A. w. Bigsworth, who dropped bombs from his aeroplane.
 ADhicial announcement of the feat was made this morning as follows:
 ''The Secretary of the Admiralty announces that Squadron Comman- der Arthur Bigsworth, R. N, destroy ed single-handed a German subma- rine this morning by bombs dropped from an aeroplane. The submarine was observed to be completely de- molished and sank off Ostend.
 ''It is not the practice of the Ad- miralty to publish statements regard ing the losses of German submarines important though it may seem, in cases where the enemy has no other source of information as to the time and place at which these losses have occurred.
 'sIn the case referred to above, however, the brilliant feat of Com mander Bigsworth was performed in the immediate neighborhood of the coast in occupation of the enemy, and the position of the sunken sub marine has been located by Ger man destroyer.

FIND DIFFICULTY
 IN FLOATING LOAN
American Bankers are Not Subscrib- ing to Huge Loan for British
 and French Bonds.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-It is re- ported in financial circles here that the bankers arranging for the huge loan to the British and French gov- ernments are finding difficulty in se curing the promises of bankers throughout the country to take part in the big game of finance.
 The original plans of the bankers were to loan $1O0,000,000 through the banking house of J. p. Morgan & Co.,, on British and French govern ment bonds The bonds were not to be guaranteed by other collateral as has been the case heretofore when European government bonds were brought to America, and placed with bankers as security to protect the bankers.
 RRe failure of the bankers to CO., g&erate with the promoters of the San is taken to indicate that Ameri- can financiers are not so sure of the ultimate victory of the British allies in the struggle now being waged in Europe.
 Reports have it that Morgan & Co. are now considering the proposition of making loan of $500,0O0,O00 to finance the purchases of the British government in this country. Ameri- can banks are flooded with gold but they are timid about stalking their money on the chances of the allies winning the war.

CANADA ID GET
 MUN|T|0N ORDERS
Manufacturers Being Urg ed to Operate on Cooperative
 Plan on War Orders.

TORONTO, Sept. 17.-Canadiar officials who have just returned from England state that Canadian made of war are meeting with favor among the fighting forces at the front All orders placed among Canadian manufacturers have been delivered on contract time and new orders aggregating $65,000,000 have been placed in Canada.
 The officials also state that the British government has recognized the right of Canadian manufacturers to bid on contracts which have here tofore been awarded to American manufacturers through the financial house of J. P. Morgan & Co.
 Every factory in eastern Canada is being operated to capacity turning out munitions and the manufacturers are being urged to operate their plants on the cooperative plan, simi- lar to that in operation in the Ford works in Detroit. The argument is advanced that it is un- fair to expect the workmen to exert their utmost efforts in their loyalty to the mother country while the own CTS of the factories reap immense profits from the government for the prompt delivery of shipments.

OKLAHOMA RIVERS
 ARE ON RAMPAGE.

BARTLESvILLE, Ok, Sept. IT, The rivers in this state have flooded vast tracts of ground and have swept away many homes, leaving hundreds of people destitute. It is estimated that the loss from the flood will ex- ceed $500,000..

Late in the fall the .Kar- lux made winter quarters many hun dreds of miles east of Point Barrow, and Steffenson and two companions left the ship to hunt caribou. The hunting trip was a success, but when the hunters returned to the point where they expected to find the Kar- lux safe in the ice, they were amazed to find the ship gone, and the sea open because of a heavy offshore wind which had opened up the pack ice and sent the boat drifting west ward.
 Steffenson made his way to Point Barrow, and securing several dog teams and provisions, started out eastward to seek the land of the

MEX|CANS MUST
 CEASE FIGHTING
French Minister Satisfied that Inter- vention is the Only Cure for
 Mexican Strife.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-The representatives of the Latin-Ameri- can countries. who have been acting in consort with United States diplo- mats in considering the Mexican situation will hear the representa- tives of the different Mexican fac tions in order to gain a, complete knowledge of the desires of the Mex ican people themselves.
 Not only the Mexican leaders of the different fighting bands have been requested to appear before the conference, but prominent Mexican merchants and ranchers have been asked to express their opinions as to the cause of the strife which is grad ually depopulating the republic and bringing untold misery to millions of innocent persons.
 The French minister has asked his conferees as to what method they were prepared to adopt to restore peace in Mexico, should the Mexi- cans refuse to entertain the plans of the Pan-American countries. He ex- pressed the belief that intervention would have to be resorted to before the Mexican people would have an opportunity of electing government without interference on the part of the different factions.

Villas command, were instantly kill ed when the train on which they were travelling was wrecked near Sal tillo last night The train rolled down a highf embankment and many of the soldiers were pinned in the wreckage.

The news reached here last night when the power schooner Ruby, com manded by Captain Cottle, arrived here with letters and messages sent by Steffenson on August 18th.
 According to Captain Cottle, the winter camp of Steffenson's party is on Banks Island, many miles east of Point Barrow, and the party will push into the ice pack this fall and drift with the ice. Steffenson left Herschel Island on March 22, 1914, and since that time has travelled thou sands of miles in the Arctic ocean, discovering new and unknown islands with tribes of natives unknown to scientists.
 He returned to Baille Island and met the whaling fleet, and purchased the power schooner Polar Bear, re- fitted it from the stores of the other boats, and with Storker Storkerson and Ole Anderson, who have been with him the past two years, Steffen- son returned to his work of explora- tion.
