CBy the international News ServiceD
New York, oct. 22.-Four Norwegian
bankers arrived here today on the Nor

rangements for the payment OF huge
sums for material purchased in the

herSas a commission. but as individuals.
Other passengers. however, declared they
did form a commission.
The four Norwegian bankers are Knut
Bachke. Emil Sophus Dahl. and Gustav
Kamstrup Hegge, of Christiania, and
the object OF their mission Mr. Dahl
said:
This is not financial commission. nor
do We represent any bank or banks.
though We are directors Of banks. We
are rather here individually to better
financial arrangements between Norway
and the United States.
There are immense purchases being
made in this country that have to be paid
for. and among them is an item OF 800
OO0,00O for ships alone. While here We
will look into general conditions with a
view to purchasing railroad stocks, iron
and steel"
Equally as significant as the arrival OF
this commission was the presence on
board the Eergensfjord OF seven Nor
wegian steamship captains They are here
to take over large number Of big freight
steamships that have been built in Ameri-
can yards for Norwegian concerns.

life craft were washed away Just as the
rescue ship, car ferry steamer Mar

through the waves toward them. Gras-
haw is the sole survivor Of the Colgate's
crew Of twenty-five.
The life raft TO which Capt Grashaw,
second engineer Harry Ossmann and a
coal passer clung, was sighted by the
wheelsman Of the Marquette this after
noon The three figures, rope-entangled,
were prone on 1t, apparently lifeless.
The ferry steamer quickly directed her
course toward the bit OF jetsam. Just
as she rounded to, an unusually large
wave swept over the raft As it receded
only one man remained.
Capt. Grashaw, whose home Is in Cleve-
land, had been master OF the Colgate
only two weeks and neither he nor the
owners, The Standard Transit Company,
OF this city, were able to give a list Of
the crew.

flashed to Cleveland and Mrs. Grashaw
hurried to Conneaut
She was led to her husbands bedside,
where she dropped to her knees and
sobbed incoherently her thanksgiving at
ler husbands rescue.
The Colgate, threshing about in the
waves, 75 miles west of Long Point,
sprung a leak on Friday, the captain
said.
The big whaleback caught in the wal

ROUMANIA CALLED WEAK

Entrance Into War Declared to Have

By WILLIAM BAYARD HALE,

1t has come to pass that Roumania, whose
entrance into the war was expected to
strengthen the entente is now a chief
source Of their weakness
1t was proclaimed around the world that
the entrance OF Roumania meant fresh
army OF half a million valiant troops to
reinforce the entente. and meant, further
more, tremendous extension OF the front
the central powers were forced TO defend.
1t was proclaimed that it meant the Rus
SLAMS would overrun the Dobrudja- 1t
was proclaimed TO mean that a source Of
invaluable food supplies was closed to the
central powers
Within the last week these prophesies
have been brought to naught. The Rou-
manians are in full retreat before Won
Falkenhayn's victorious armies. Instead
Of aiding the entente. Roumania is now
desperately calling for succor in every
direction.
Still more practical is the prospect Of
the opening up Of the tremendous supply
