Dr. C. B. Banks Gives Narrowing Details of Submarine fare-vessel Sheed and Captured by Undersea Vessel Southerner Has Narrow Escape-Rescued by
 British Patrol Boat

New York. September 1o-Dr. c. B. Banks. Memph1s veterinarian. who ar rived today on the steamer Lapland from Liverpool. said he was aboard the Brit ish steamer Nicosian when she was shelled by a German submarine, and that he saw a British patrol boat approach flying the American flag. The British ensign was hoisted> in its place before the patrol boat opened fire on the sub marine, he said.
 Confirmation of the London report that the submarine was sunk on August 1s while shelling the Nicosian was received 3rom other sources on arrival of the Lap md. but Dr.. Banks declined to discuss Chat phase of the matter. This German submarine was sunk on August 19, the day the AriAic was torpedoed. and not far from the scene. This gave rise to the report that was circulated and the subsequent belief in Great Britain that the Arabics assailant had been sent to |1he bottom.

CHILDREN ARE NOW REQUIRED ID 60 ID SCHOOL Henderson Will Sign Meas ure Making Seven Weeks ]. Attendance Per Year
 Compulsory
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery. September 10.--(Special.) Compulsory education will be actually in effect in Alabama as soon as Governor Henderson approves a bill passed through the senate this afternoon by vote of a to 5. The bill had previously passed the house.
 While the vote in favor of the measure was overwhelming. 1t encountered deter mined opposition in the persons of Sena- tor Lusk and Senator Jones, both of whom by amendments proposed would have nulified the effect of the legsla- tion Amendments proposed by them and voted down in order would have stricken a section of the bill providing for the em- ployment of truant officers. whose duty 1t shall be to see that all children between the years of and IS attend school for at least seven weeks in the year, and would have vitiated a clause making 1t illegal for anyone to give employment to a child between the years of s and 15.
 Senator Bonner strenuously opposed the passage of the bill because its effect will be extended to the negro race. Tn educa tonal circles the passage of the bill caused great rejoicing. It is certain that Governor Henderson will approve the measure, and then Alabama will have renounced the honor of being one of the three states of the union in which there Is no compulsory education law Here after Mississippi and Georgia will alone be without such legtslation.

We started wireless call for help and then the submarine turned loose on us with shrap. nel, the second shot tearing away our wireless apparatus. By this time the sub marine was within 60 yards of us, and she gave our captain 20 minutes to get the crew into the boats The last boat ir which took refuge with the captain. wasN hardly clear of the ship when the submarine opened on the steamer with two guns. fully 20 shells striking the Nicosian. Fortunately only two found a mark below the water line.
 ''The patrol which had been coming up was then within range and when the British flag was substituted for the Amer lean the submarine turned gun on her and fired several shots
 The British admiralty has placed se- were restrictions on all officers and crews of her ships consequently I cannot dis cuss anything that happened on the pa- trol boat on which we took refuge.f
 The Nicosian did not sink probably because she had in her hold cargo Of logs. The patrol boat took her in tow and at 2:30 the following morning she was relieved by tugs sent out from Queenetown."

 In the beginning Mr. Davie urged the members not to object to the considera- ton of the bill before they realized that it's provisions would benefit each of them. During his address members crowded around the desk of the speaker, and there was apparent blood in their eyes" When he concluded Representative Bealle of Tuscaloosa. publisher of the Northport Breeze. protested ably against the pas sage of bill which. he declared was as absurd as a bill regulating the price of sugar would be. Representative knigh. of Hale declared that the legislature which considered such foolish bill was evidently running out of soap and should adjourn.

 Most of this railway system already is held by the invaders. but they now are aiming particularly at the main trunk line which, starting at Riga, runs through Dvinsk, Villa, I.ida and the east Pripet marshes to Rovno and onward to Lem- berg, Galicia. Military critics express the opinion that once this line is held by tho Austro-German forces they will go into winter quarters. for the more important

AMERICAN DOLLAR WILL RULE WORLDS
 FINANCIAL MARKETS
Federal Reserve Board Says Time Will Come When United States Currency Will Dominate the Financial World. American Bankers Decide to Extend Credit and
 Increase Working Value of Reserve Funds

Washington September 10.-The tim, has come in the opinion of the federal reserve board when the American dol lar should take a dominating place in
 the financial markets of the world, aud when American or dollar exchange should become the medium through which the millions of exports and i'm ports Of the United States are paid. TO open the field for American exchange the board today issued revised reEuia- tions governing the re-discount of bankers acceptances by federal reserve banks, providing among other things that under certain conditions such &C., ceptances may be renewed. In explana- ton of the new regulations the board tonight issued a statement which said:
 Tt has been the aim of the board to do everything in it's power to create for the American acceptance, that is dollar exchange. a dominating position in the world market. Present conditions offer in this respect great opportunity. In widening somewhat the facilities of federal reserve banks in dealing with American bankers acceptances the board is attempting to give the mem
 Der banks a larger opportunity for developing their sphere of usefulness in this respect. The United States should now do what Europe has done for many generations. that is to say. the bank facilities of the United States should be used for the

carrying of import and export transac- lions for foreign countries just as much as Europe up to now carried by it's -accepfaneess the imoprt and export transactions of the United states. Ill or- der to do ths with the exchange mar- ket disorganized 1t was thought that 1t would facilitate foreign transfers if lib- eral conditions should be allowed for the renewal of such drafts so as to enable these foreign countries to have ample time to procure the necessary cover against the acceptances drawn by them"
 To Review Regulations
 Members of the board said there Is no connection between the revision of the acceptance regulations and the visit of the Anglo French commission to the United States to take up exchange prob lems with American bankers.
 It was pointed out tonight, however, that the new acceptance regulations might facilitate the credit loan sought by the Anglo-French commission. The board has liberalized conditions so that for eign and American bankers may use part of the resources of the federal re- serve system in taking care of purchases made here for exportation. On the last day the condition of the 12 reserve banxs was published they had combined re- sources in gold in their vaults of about S209, 900. If American bankers decided to extend credit by indorsing or accept ing drafts on Europe they probably lould reply on rediscounting these drafts with federal reserve banks to the value of many millions.

GERMAN NOTE ON ARABIC INCIDENT
 IS DISAPPOINTING
U. s. Would Probably Not Be Willing to Arbitrate Principle = Had Been
 Promised. Satisfaction

Washington. September 1o.--Freai- dent Wilson devoted several hours to- day to study of Germany's note on the sinking of the Arabic No official com ment was made but it was indicated plainly that the German explanati n was disappointing.
 Count Von Bernstorff, the German ann bassador. had assured Secretary Ian sing that full satisfaction would be given if 1t was determined that a Ger. man submarine sank the Arabic. Ger many's statement that she could not acknowledge any obligation to grant indemnity Is not considered full satis- faction by officials of this government
 It Is understood that the United States government would be willing 70 submit to The Hague the question of how much indemnity should be paid. but 1t Is improba ble that 1t will consent to arbitrate the principle involved.
 An answer to Germany is expected to go forward promptly.

London, September 10.-Q0:l0 p. m.)-The Germans have repeated in the vosges mountains and in Artois attempts made to break through the French lines in the Argonne forest. This seemingly indicates that the long g-expected offensive in the west will not much longer be delayed.
 In these attacks the Germans claim that they occupied some French trenches The French admit this, but say the Ger man progress was accomplished by as- phyxiating gases and that in counter att tacks the French regained most of their lost ground at Hartmans- W eilerkopf and later repulsed another violent attack against that position.
 Hartmans- Weilerkopf, which was taken by the French during their spring and summer operations, probably has been the scene of as much hard fighting as any place on the whole front. It has changed hands a dozen times. Yesterday the Germans by assault again got foot ing on the summit, but, according to the French. were driven down again dur ing the night Outside these events, the armies In the west have been engaged in almost continuous artillery duels, bomb throwing and afr raids.
