such as is in ordinary use, and which
has the disadvantage that they can talk
one at time only with the battery" or
central station. With the new system, it
operate to assist one another in locating
a particular point, from various angles.
That is, three or more observers, II 1t were
possible to train simultaneously their fele-
scopes upon predetermined point, could
without a doubt advise a battery com
mander as to what was going on at that
particular point, as often one observer
can see only from a point that gives a
very poor idea of what is really there.
With the new system, it is stated,
one observer can be placed in connec-
ton with another. through the battery
station, or all can be signaled and
talked to simultaneously by the bat
terry, or the two to the exclusion OF
as to an objective point. This objec-
tive point can then be. observed stimuli
taneously from the two points. and a
definite decision telephoned from eaeh
observer to the battery station with
the proper instructions as to whether
the particular point should be bonn
barded
Also, should any one or more Of the
observers be injured or killed and the
telephone set carried by him fall in
any position with the receiver on VI
off the hook, the telephone system is
not affected and the battery can COM
municate with any one of the other
observers and connect any two OBJ

This is accomplished by using a
single wire extending around the en-

key, all of the various instruments be-
ing connected in series and each pro-

GERMAN SUBMARINE BASE
ON ISLE OF GUERNSEY
American Cattleman Says British
Have Caught Twenty-Eight
With Steel Nets.

NEW YORK, September 23.-Substan-
tiation of rumors that German sub
marine bases had been established in
English waters has been brought here
by Frank s. Peer of Ithaca. n. Y. a cat
tie breeder who owns a breeding place
on the Isle of Guernsey. He said that
about four months ago it was discov-
cred by the British naval authorities
that petrol had been secreted on the
unfrequented Guernsey coast and that
German submarines by this means had
replenished their supplies of fuel. AS
the result of the watch that was kept
forty persons of German origin were
arrested. he said. accused of supplying
the petrol.
Mr.. Peer also said that the British
were trapping submarines in the vi
cinity of Guernsey by means of steel
nets and that he knew personally of
twenty-eight that had been thus cap
tured during his five-month stay on the
island.

Armies Are Supplied.


Great Britain, Mr.. Runciman pointed
out. thus supplied her own army and
the French army and had a consider
able surplus. which was being sold for
the benefit of the civil population.
The operations had been on a gigantic
scale, and probably in the course of the
next twelve months beef to the value
of $3.50, 100000 would be bought. sold
and distributed by the board of trade.
Mr.. Runciman expressed himself as
satisfied" with the wheat outlook. 1t
was anticipated, he continued that
there would be larger crops imported
by Europe from the United States.
Canada, Australia and Argentina than
for some years past.
Reverting to the meat question. Mr..
Runciman referred to the statement
attributed to Arthur Meeker in Am
bassador Damba's letter to Foreign
Minister Burian of Austria Hungary,
made public. that he had not played his
last trump, and that if Great Britain
could not get meat from the United
States or Argentina she would soon
give in. Mr.. Runciman's comment was:
"Having got meat and ships, we have
no intention of giving in"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-09-23
Handles French Business.

During the next twelve months, Mr..
Runciman continued, the operations OF
the board of trade would amount to
about $4,000, 900 (s5o,000,o00). He add
ed that the French. government had
such confidence in the board OF trade
that 1t had placed the whole business OF
supplying French meat requirements In
the hands of the board.
Mr.. Runciman said that circumstances
had necessitated the board entering
into a contest with a comparatively
small number of commercial houses
controlling the beef trade. The Ar
gentine supply. he added. was in the
hands of a half dozen very powerful
firms. mainly controlled in AMERICA
When the government tried to. make
contracts. he continued. it found prices
excessive, and the only way in which
the government was able to deal with
the situation was by requisitioning the
whole tonnage that carried beef from
South America to this country. These
requisitioned ships were sent to Aus
tralia, where the Australian govern
ment took control of the whole of the
beef and mutton produced in the coun-
try and loaded up the ships at cost
price.

The Russians Are i'm More Critical

Beginning of Present

PETROGRAD, Sept 2O-The
Germans are attacking both flanks
of the 300, 900 Russian troops who
are falling back from wilma. The
position of the Russians is more
critical than any Russian army has
been in since the beginning of the
present AustiO-Gerntan campaign,
but every confidence is expressed in
the Siavs being able to make good
their retirement without being fore
ell into general battle or smash
ing their way out of the trap Ii they
fail TO do this.
Enormous losses have been sus-
tanned by the Germans in the last
few days. Cavalry attacking the re-
tiring forces have ben moved down
with artillery.
Bavarians attempting to cut off
the Russian retreat from the south
are within a few miles of the Lida-

the Anglo-French financial commis-
sion is expected to approve today.
Practically all Of the details have
been cleared out of the way. The
loan will take the form Of short
term notes issued and guaranteed BY
the British and French governments
and viii mature in five to ten years.
These notes are to be offered at par
and bear five per cent interest. and
it is understood the underwriting
syndicate is to receive an additional
one-half per cent for the flotation.
which will probably amount to ST.

The other points which remained
to be decided at today's conferences
were whether the loan would be for
the paymnt of actual war material
and whether Russia would partici-
pate in the loan. German-American
bankers, whose aid is needed, may
stipulate that the money be spent
solely for such supplies as cotton,
grain and the like.
