REICHSBANk INITIATES
 ANOTHER GERMAN LOAN
''Third Financial Battle Will Be Won By Teu-
 tOnS."

Berlin, Sept. 2, by Wireless to Say vile, N. Y.-The managers of the Reichsbank have issued formal call for subscriptions to the new war loan. The newspapers point out editorially that great advantages are offered to investors, who are able to obtain with their savings nine year imperial bonds paying five per cent. Private banks and savings institutions announce their readiness to assist their depos- itors to subscribe.
 The loan has several new features The issue will be confined to bonds, no treasury notes being sold. More over, it will be impossible for the first time to purchase these bonds at postofices.
 The Reichsbank managers, private bankers and the newspapers predict that the loan will be as successful as on the two former occasions, and that Germany will win "a third great bat tie upon the financial field"

ARABIC'S DESTROYER
 CAUGHT BY BRITISH?
White Star Line Official Says U-Boat Was Caught
 in Net.

New York, Sept. 2.-An officer of the White Star Liner Adriatic, which arrived from Liverpool today, de- clared that the German submarine which sunk the Arabic had been caught in a steel net and the U-boat's double crew were now prisoners in England. He added that within the past sixty days the British have cap- tured no less than fifty German sub- marines. The officer said that for obvious reasons he could not dis close the place of capture nor detail the circumstances. He said, however, that the U-boat was of the latest and largest type in the German navy, and that the craft carried a double crew. He understood the Germans now manned all of the large submarines with an auxiliary crew for training purposes.
 Sir Robert Borden, premier of Canada, and Major Gen. Sir Sam Huges, Canadian minister of militia and defense, also were passengers on the Adriatic.
 Six survivors of the Arabic arrived on the Adriatic and thirty-five on the American liner St. Paul, from Liverpool.

NEW BRITAIN HAS MANY
 CRIMINAL COURT CASES
Twenty-eight Recorded for Trial, Four of Whom Are
 Married Women.

"New Britain is still being kept on the map," declares States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn. When the criminal term of the superior court opens on September 21 the Hardware City will have twenty eight cases to be dis posed of. While most of these cases are appeals from decisions in the To- cal court and a number will be vacat- ed before hey come to trial, this is, nevertheless, one of the biggest dock cts ever sent to the higher court from this city.
 States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn is already preparing his prosecutions in the cases and yesterday was closeted from some time with Captain T. w. Grace end Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth, as we'll as other witnesses getting an insight into the facts. The cases on record for trial from this city at present are herewith given:
 George Schmidt and Mrs. Mary Smith, adultery.
 Albert Marleni, rape.
 John Kalca meskus, alias John Cook robbery and assault
 James r. Boyle, two counts, drunk enness, breach of the peace and re- sistance.
 Justin Piikus assault.
 Stephen Jacobs violation of the mo- tor law.
 John Marangie, assault.
 Walter Smith, drunkenness, resist ance and breach of the peace.
 Hyman Schlaffer refusing to move when ordered to do so by police man.
 Mrs Elizabeth Grabeck, drunken
 John Claverwicz and Mrs. Helen Schneider, adultery.
 Emanuel Peterson, embezzlement
 Mrs. Margaret Canning and Alex ander Sim ons, adultery.
 John Debrowski, violation of health ordinance.
 Thomas Odell, breach of the peace.

 Jacob Palangian, indecent assault.
 George Moffitt, assault
 Thomas Baker and Bernard Neil mire, violation of the liquor law.
 Eugene Connelley, breach of the peace.
 James Killian, violation of the otor law.
 The most serious case from New Britain this term will be that of John Kalcameskus (John Cook) charged with assault and robbery. He is the man charged with burgIarizing the tailor shop at the corner of East Main and Center streets and brutally beating the proprietor with a heavy iron bar as he slept in bed. Re- shots also figured in this case.
 The number of women to come be- fore the criminal court from this city is also unusual, there being no less than four on the record, all of whom are married.

NV. w. LEADER
 GETS SIX MONTHS
J. J. Ettor Appeals Finding of Water- bury Court-Alleged to Have
 Abused Police,

Waterbury, Sept, 2.-Joseph J.. Ettor, the I. w. w. leader, was sen- fenced to six months in jail by Judge Wm. J. Larkin, IT,, in city court here this morning. Ettor was arrested while conducting a mass meeting in hall on Bank street last night, after he had made insulting and abusive remarks about the Wa terbury police department.
 He had previously tried to eject from the hall Detective Sergeant Thomas Colasanto, who had been de- tailed to do plain clothes duty at the meeting. When the I. w. w. leader failed in his efforts to eject the de- tective, he took the platform and made vitriQlic speech in which he called Sergeant Colasanto and the rest of the police department '1ouses'' The detective then telephoned to headquarters and seven policemen were sent to the hail. There was ai- most riot when the police made their appearance and placed Ettor under arrest.
 In court he was charged with breach of the peace and obstructing an officer, but sentence was suspend ed on the latter count. Attorney J. c Guilfoile, his counsel, gave notice of an appeal and secured bonds of $500 for his client.

is not popular with his command. The matter was put to vote, it is said, but the other members of the com pany did not see fit to support them in their request that the commanding officer retire.
 Claims Captain Kicked Him.
 There are several versions of the affair. Friends of the man who is said to have demanded Captain Lows resignation, Louis Warrinock, say the trouble dates back from the re- cent camp at East Haven. They say that when on the firing line the men are supposed to lie on their left side with their feet curled slightly behind them. As Warrinock is left handed he lay on his right side, throwing his feet out of alignment with the others. It is claimed that Captain Low, seeing this, ordered him to change his position and gave more strength to his order with kick. The other version of the affair is that Warrinock was thought to be deliber- ately delaying as the rest of the com mand was preparing to go home and Captain Low ordered him to hurry up and entered his tent and gave him gentle kick with the side of his foot.
 Demand Lows Resignation.
 At the meeting Tuesday night, fol- lowing general discussion, it is said that Warrinock upbraided Capt ain Low on general principles and concluded by asking him to resign. Private Arthur Hoffman is said to have seconded Warrinock's motion and demanded that the matter be put to a vote. It is said that the m majority of the command paid but little attention to the voting for or against Captain Low and the motion was lost.
 Extra Bonus for Cooks.
 Trouble in the ranks of Company E came to head during Tuesday nights meeting when some member of the company suggested that the company cooks be given an extra bonus for their efficient work during camp week. The figure suggested did not meet with the approval of the officers and after some wrangling it was de- cided to give the cooks the same bon us as they received a year ago.
 Arguing over the advisability of do- ing this, one thing led to another un- til the upheaval came.
 Various members of Company E approached on the. subject admitted that there was some little disagree ment at Tuesday nights meeting and that the above named men did ask for Captain Lows resignation. Fur ther than that, however, they are in clined to view the matter lightly and attach no particular importance to it. Friends of Captain Low state that Warrinock is a trouble maker and brought the whole affair on himself.
 Captain Is Away.
 An attempt was made this after noon to locate Captain Low but in- quiries at his home elicited the in- formation that he is at the state range in East Haven and will not re- turn to this city before tomorrow night

BUNCOED OUT OF $7,

Dominic Chevera, employed as a laborer by the railroad, notified the police this afternoon that he had been feeced out of his weeks pay, amounting to $7, by two strangers who accosted him on the Arcade. The men asked him if he wanted a job and promptly hired him. Then they told him to go to TAP Main street and get a package for them.
 Before Dominic started however, they reminded him that they knew nothing of his character and as the package he was to bring them was very valuable he ought to give them a deposit as proof of good faith Dominic gave up his weeks pay and went in search of 742 Main street There was no such number and when he returned to his employers they were among the missing

SUBMARINE POLICY
 VIRTUALLY SETTLED
Sinking of Arabic to Be Disavowed- Neutral Commerce Next Prob-
 lem for Government.


 Washington, Sept 2-with both oral and written assurances from the German government transmitted through Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, to the state de- pertinent regarding Germany's sub- marine policy, officials of the Wash ington government today looked hope- fully forward for an ultimate and sat- isfactory settlement of the whole sub- marine problem. Assurance is given that liners will not be sunk by Ger man submarines without warning and without safety of the lives of non- combatants, provided the liners do not try to escape or offer resistance.
 Germany's next communication, it was said authoritatively, will be a formal disavowal of the sinking of the Arabic, and reparation will be made for American lives lost in the disaster, if the attack was made by a German submarine.
 With the situation growing out of the Arabic incident out of the way, Germanys reply to the last American note on the Lusitania will be forth coming. If that is satisfa actory to the United States, it is believed that the Washington government will then turn it's attention to the problem of neutral commerce. A note to Great Britain already is in course of prep aration. The two issues however, are being kept entirely distinct, President Wilson having consistently refused to allow the question of neutral com merce to be involved along with the submarine problem.

BRYAN MAY VISIT POPE.
Talk to Be on Peace If Ex-Secretary
 Requests.

Rome, Sept. 2.-Reports reaching here from Germany say that the Ger man press is discussing W. J. Bryan's forthcoming trip to Europe and that a hint is given that it is possible that the former American secretary of of state may cooperate with the ef- forts of the Pope to hasten peace.
 Information has been secured from a Vatican source that if MT. Bryan so- licits an audience the Pope will not hesitate to receive him provided that assurances the given that the audience will be confidential.
 The Pope, although ardently wish ing and striving for peace, is deter mined to end the war without seek ing the favor any any groups of bellig- erents to the detriment of others. hence he is unlikely to ac- cept the cooperation of so-calIed peace missionaries unless he is con- vinced that their efforts are sponta- neOus.
