AVIATOR MAKES FAST TIME
Carrying Mail From Chicago to New
York Victor CarIstrom Breaks
All Speed Records.

New York, Nov. 4-Victor CarIs-
from, the mail carrying aviator, swoop-
ed down from the sky at S:55 o'clock
this morning, landed on Governors
Island and brought to a close his
ightning-like flight from Chicago by
hanging up a record of flight at 135
miles an hour.
He had made the last leg of his jour
ney from Hammondsport, N. Y, about
315 miles, in hours and 20 minutes.
A stiff wind blew at his back all the
way. This is a speed record eleven
miles an hour better than the mark
made by Jules Verdines, French avi-
ator, and officials of the Aero Club
of America, commenting on this fea-
ture of the trip, declared so far as
official records show, it is the fastest
time ever made by an aeroplane
Although Carlstrom was stopped
twice on his flight, his trip was re-
markable for time In addition to the
record made this morning he also hung
up a new American nonstop mark
when he flew from Chicago to Erie,
Pa, 425 miles, where engine trouble
caused the first stop yesterday. He
already held the record in this coun-
try himself

/ 800 SHIPS SUNK THUS FAR
Of This Number Allies Have Lost IS
Per Cent, NeutraIs 1e and
Germans T.

New York, Nov. 4.-One thousand
eight hundred and twenty merchant
ships with an aggregate gross tonnage
of approximately 1925, 5S4 have been
sunk by belligerent nations during
twenty-seven months of war ending
November 1, according to figures COM
piled from cable dispatches and mail
advices published here today by the
Journal of Commerce.
The losses in October were larger
than for any one of the preceding five
months, according to the statistics,
amounting to 127 vessels of a total of
227, 116etons gross.
Norway lost the largest number OF
ships, fifty-six, according to the sta
tistics, but their gross tonnage was
only 1888, as compared with Great
Britain's total loss of 49, gross
tonnage of thirty-eight vessels de
stroyed.
A table showing the total shipping
losses since the war began estimates
those of the Entente Allies at about
rs per cent and those of neutrals at
nearly IL per cent, with Teptonie
losses less than per cent.

GERMANY READY TO DIsAVOW
If Pledges to United States Were
Broken in Marina Case, Will
Make Reparation.

Washington, Nov. If the British
ships Marina and Rowanmore were
sunk by a German submarine COM
mander or commanders in violation OF
Germany's pledges regarding subma-
rine warfare the German government
will disavow the act, offer reparation
and punish the commander for COM
manders, German officials in Wash
ington said today
They pointed out that in the case Of
the Marina, which was reported to
have been attacked first by gunfire,
without warning, the method of at
tack was, in itself, a warning and they
suggested that if'the vessel was tor
pedoed before the crew was able TO
leave the ship, it probably was be-
cause she failed to stop.

SAY THE MARINA WAS ARMED
Question of Aiming of MERCHANTMEN
Probably Will Prevent Clean
Cut Issue in Case.

Washington, Nov. $50 many con-
flicting elements have appeared in the
destruction of the British ship Marina
by German submarine with the loss
OF American lives that the incident
cussion rather than a clean cut issue
of whether Germany has violated its
pledges to the United States.
It became quite APPARENT today both
from the attitude of the State Depart
ment and from the dispatches from
abroad, that much which is essential
to determination of the responsible
ity remains undisclOsed, if, indeed,
the United States, Germany or Great
Britain are in possession of the full
facts. 1t appeared certain, however,
that no move will be made by the
United States until the German YER
sion Of the affair, as well as that of
the destruction of the British ship
gering Of American lives, has been
obtained.
The only positive developments to-
day were the action of Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
in asking his government to forward
full details by wireless, and the issu-
ance Of a statement by Secretary Lam
sing that the investigation would be
in no wise delayed because there is
a political campaign in progress.
While they await full details, two
outstanding facts attracted the atten-
ton of officials.
One was the announcement that the
Marina was armed with a 4.7-inch gun,
mounted astern; the other was a news
dispatch from London, the language
of which was regarded as significant.
1t said:
at is regarded here as quite prob
able that the American State Depart
ment will make still further inquiries
with the object of definitely determin-
ing the status of the Marina. While
it is said that she was under private
charter when she was torpedoed, it
appears that the vessel may have en-
gagged in admiralty work not long be-
fore"

Were Saved After 80 Hours
in Open Boat

London, Nov. six Americans
were killed in the sinking of the Brit
ish steamer Marina, according to
telegram received by Wesley Frost,
American consul at Queenstown, says
the Press Association. The telegram
stated that fifty-one Americans had
been saved.
Consul Frost has arranged to take
the dispositions of twenty-eight Amer
lean survivors who have proceeded to
Dublin. Thirty-four additional surviv-
ors. including fifteen Americans, are
expected to arrive at Cork tonight.
Dublin, Nov. 1.-The British steam
er Marina was torpedoed without
warning, according to a statement
made by American survivors of the
vessel who arrived here tonight from
Bear Haven. The survivors, in a
statement to the Associated Press, de-
clared that two torpedoes were fired
at the Marina, and that the submarine
watched the boats containing the sur
vivors for half an hour without offer
ing assistance.
Twenty-eight American survivors of
the steamer arrived at the Seaman's
Home here tonight from Bear Haven.
In the statement they said:
1.-THE Marina, with cargo Of whisky
from Glasgow to Baltimore, was
struck by torpedo without warning
on the starboard side off Skellig's
Rock at Ala o'clock Saturday morn
ing and sank in few minutes. sec
ond torpedo struck the port side of
the vessel about ten minutes after
the first.
"All Americans aboard were mem
bers of the crew except one, a pas
senger named Middleton off Freder-
icksburg, who was drowned, and two
stowaways, who also were drowned.
''The submarine watched our boats
for half an hour and offered no as
sistance"
Long Branch, N. J., Nov. AFTER

six Americans had lost their lives by
the sinking of the Marina, President
Wilson communicated with Secretary

that all possible haste be taken in OBJ
tanning the facts concerning the sink
ing of the vessel.
Secretary Lansing informed the
President that in addition to asking
! the American embassy in London for
information informal inquiries had

KINGS MEN FORCED TO RETIRE

-Nenizeios Has 10000 Men.

Athens, Nov. SKIING Constantine
issued orders this morning to the roy.
alist troops to prevent the advance
Of the revolutionist forces at all costs.
One hundred and fifty loyal troops
previously had evacuated Katerina be-
fore six hundred insurgents armed
with machine guns, withdrawing to
Larissa to join re-enforcements. The
evacuation of Katerina is confirmed
by the general staff.
Mean to Seize Railway
London, Nov. 3.-The conflict be-
tween Venizelos and King Constantine
Of Greece that has been brewing ever
since Bulgaria joined the Teutonic Al
lies has become an armed struggle.
The general staff at Athens con-
firms the announcement that Katerina
has been evacuated. The monarch is
rallying around him all the forces he
can muster, for the rebels apparently
are determined to seize the railway
to Athens.
The important factor in the whole
situation is the size of the force Veni-
zelos has been able 70 muster. A
fortnight ago it was reported that he
was raising an army corps to drive the
Bulgars out of Macedonia. The revo-
lutionary movement has spread rapid
ly and the chance that the ex-premier
has raised large army in the affect
ed provinces seems good.
Kings Army Reduced.
King Constantine's army was cur
tailed recently in response to the de
tente leaders found it necessary to
take drastic steps to prevent a Greek
attack on SarraiFs flank, one OF the
requirements they imposed on the
government at Athens was the reduc-
ton of the Greek army from $4,000
troops to $4,000. That reduction, it is
believed, already has been partly &C
complished.

The Bremen is Indefinitely known to
