vessels story. The U-55 will go out
side the harbor for anchorage during
the night.
The U-53, in command of Lieut..

span upon her arrival here and looked
as if she had been out only for ma
neuvers. Her commander reported
that he had not sighted any
hostile craft on his voyage over, add
ing that the boat was plentifully sup
piled with provisions and fuel and
that nothing would be taken aboard
her.

in, Commander Rose paid an official

sett Bay naval station, to whom he
stated that he was preparing to-leave

food aboard to last for three months.

arries four officers and thirty-three
men. The U-53 was escorted in the
harbor by the United States submarine

/ clined to say whether he had been or
dered to American waters to search

Games in East.
New York. Oct 7.-Several elevens
from southern colleges and one from
Ohio invaded the east today to give
battle to the leading universities OF
this section. Some of the southern
teams are considered the strongest il,
that territory. More than usual in
terest at this stage of the football sea-
son is displayed in the Yale-Virginia
game at New Haven, owing to the
defeat which the Southerners gave to
the Connecticut men last year. The
Yale men regard their eleven as SO
per cent stronger tnan the one Vir-
ginia defeated last year.
Princeton players looked for a
strong opposition from North Caro-

Political Situation FOrestalls
Move for Peace.
Britain's Plain Islands OF"
Crushes Past Hopes.
PRESIDENT LOSES OPTIMISM
Not Informed That Gerard Is
on Peace Mission.
VIII Not Offer Further "GOGd
Offices" to End War.

Washington, Oct. Likelihood OF
the United States government acting
as a prominent factor to bring peace
to the warning powers of Europe is
dwindling day by day. according to
general belief in official circles here.
The subject once more is receiving
diplomatic consideration on the eve
of Am mbassador Gerard's return to this
country from Berlin, Count Won Bern
storff's visit to the president at Shad-
ow Lawn next Monday and as result
of the presidents continued utterances
on the subject of world peace for the
future.
Two points are made by those who
believe the United States will make
no further move to end the hostiilties
and probably will be unable to aid
in the readjustments between tho
European countries when the war
ends:
Two Reasons for No Move.
Fiist-Great Britain, thru an inter-
view given the United Press by Lloyd
George, has plainly said hands Off
that any attempt by the United
States to intercede IN behalf of peace
would be regarded with hostility.
Second-The political situation in
the country has aroused to a marked
degree partisan feelings for one or the
other of the warning sides. 1t has re-
suited in stirring up a feeling abroad
that the United States is not strictly
neutral and, as President Wilson re-
Gently said in an address at Shadow
| Lawn, this feeling has reached point
where even diplomatic intercourse be-
| tween this country and foreign nations
will be seriously embarrassed until
after November Z. because foreign
| diplomats are waiting to see what will
be the outcome of the election.
| Perhaps no expression by the presi-
| dent in recent months has aroused so
much conjecture here as that in
| Omaha Thursday night when he said:
Wilson Anticipates Long War.
| -Wnen we look forward to the years
/ to come-I wish / could say the
| months to come-and to the end of
! this war, we want the world to know
we are ready to lend our force to the
| preservation of peace"
This is regarded here as Indicative
that the president feels the end of the
war may be far off-and also that he
feels the work of America will be to
preserve the peace of the future, not
| to intervene now. From those with
the president comes the word that he
knows nothing regarding report that
| Ambassador Gerard is bringing with
him to this country a request of the
German government TO intercede In
behalf of peace. But there is strong
| belief in official circles here that the
president will consider no further
move either directly or indirectly
toward offering his good offices unless
such a plea is made openly by one or
more of the belligerent nations.
