WASHINGTON, Oct. ia super
stition almost as old as the navy. was
responsible for the United States de-
stroyers being prepared for action
when they sailed on sudden ofders
from Newport, Oct. z. This was ex-
planned today at the navy depart
ment, in connection with the publica-
ton of a lettsr from a lieutenant on
the DESTROYER Benham, telling Of this
preparedness.
The navy never has forgotten the
Chesapeake.
The old man OF war Chesapeake
sailed from Baltimore in time Of
peace in 1907 without making pre-
parations for war. With her decks
stored with chicken coops and other
paraphernalia of peace she met
British man of war that was ready for
battle. The Chesapeake was searched
and turned ignominiously back to
port
"Since then" it was said, when
ever navy vessel goes out on a
cruise it is ready for action"
The fact that the destroyers did not
know when they left Newport what
was going to develop-whether they
might be attacked or whether there
had been violation of this country's
neutrality-was another factor in the
preparedness. They sailed with al
most no notice, knowing only that
merchant and passenger vessels were
being torpedued They did not know
at that time whether they were going
as fighting vessels or as rescue ships.
But they remembered the Chesa-
peake.

KAISER A BUSY MAN
Is in Several Places at Once in Fact if
All Reports Are True.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb. 26.-
The Wihelmshaven Zeitung states that
Emperor William arrived at Wilhelms-
haven on Wednesday morning and in
spected the warships there. He con-
ferred with the commanders of the
North sea fleet, the Zeitung says, and
departed the same evening.
1t was reported unofficially early
this week that Emperor William had
arrived at the German front north of
Verdun and was supervising the at
tack on that fortress. 1t was said that
the emperor reviewed a rehearsal of
the coming attack and then gave the
order to begin the offensive on Sun
day night. There has been no pre-
vious intimation that he had departed
from the Verdun sector to Wilhelms-
haven.
There has been reports recently of
unusual activity on the part of the
German fleet which has given rise to
speculation whether a dash into the
North sea was contemplated.

WEEKS MARKETS
Uncertainty Makes Trading
Dull ON Exchange.
Congestion of Bull Account Adj
verse Feature of Week.

New York. Feb. 26.-Uneasiness,
arising mainly from unexpected devel-
opments in the foreign situation, was
the oyershadowing factor in this
weeks dull and heavy market. Fears
of an open breach between the admin
istration and congress were mainly re-
sponsible for the irregular depreeia-
ton of values which was partly re-
trieved in the later dealings.
Congestion of the bull account and
continued lack of investment inquiry
were among the other adverse fea-
lures, a condition which emboldened
the short or professional interest to
renewed activity. That faction was
impelied to reduce its commitments,
however, when speculative interest in
rails for the rise was resumed.
Domestic Tone Good.
Domestic advices and other intel
Hgence dealing with industry and
favorable and this helped to bring
about something of balance between
the selling and the buying. Steel and
iron mills continued to report a maxi
mum of productivity. with further
price advances, coppers and allied
shares held relatively firm on the
steady demand for those products and
other lines of manufacture were main
tanned at high pressure.
Railroad returns for January were
less substantial than in the later
months of 1915 but as a rule far in
excess of the corresponding period of
year ago. Although exports of i'm
portant commodities show a falling

ton in the volume of general business.
Weakness of rates on Berlin consti-
tuted the only significant feature of

strengthened. Official denial was

Austria Informally Explains
PetrOlite "HOId Up"

washington Feb. 26.-Austria, sup
plementing her request for more in
formation concerning the American
protest against the submarine attack
on the American tank steamer Petro-
lite in the Mediterranean, has in
formed the United States that the sub
marine commander thought the Petro-
lite was an enemy ship disguised I'M
der the American flag, that he fired
upon her as the ship changed her
course. and he believed she was about
to ram him and that the Petrolite's
captain voluntarily furnished provi-
sions to the submersible.
Secretary Lansing said today that
Austria's communication was not a
reply to the American protest and
could not be considered either accept
able or unacceptable. The American
version of the affair is that the sub
marine fired upon the tanker, injuring
one man, and that when the Petrolite's
commander refused to furnish provi-
eiOns the Austrian commander took
an American of the Petrolite's crew
on his submarine and held him as
a hostage until he got the supplies.
All the facts available to the state
department have been sent to Vienna
