Frye CaSe-1l Other
Vessels Lost

London, Nov. 28.-The American
steamship Chemung has been sunk
by a German submarine off Cape
Gata, promontory on the coast of
Andalusia, Spain. Her crew of
twenty-four men, towed in lifeboats
to within five miles of the coast and
then abandoned by the U-boat, was
picked up at the end Of the day by
the Spanish steamer Giner. The
men have been landed at Valencia.
The steamer foundered with the
American flag flying. Despite the
insistence of the German commander
that the colors be lowered, the Amer
lean captain refused, and the flag
was on the mast when the vessel
went down.
Five British, two French, two
Greek and two Norwegian vessels
also have been sunk. Their aggre-
gate tonnage was about 10000. The
Danish steamer Villemos was capt
ured by the Germans.

Passenger Liner Sunk;
Four Lives Are Lost

London, Nov. 2s.-The sinking Of
eleven vessels was announced to-day
by Lloyds' Agency.
The largest vessel sunk was the
British steamship City of Birmingham,
of 1893 tons. All the passengers ard
crew were saved with the exception Of
a physician and three members Of the
crew, who were drowned. The vessel is
presumed to have been on the way
from Bombay to Liverpool.
The captains and crews of the Greek
steamer Christoforos and the Norwe-
gian steamers Belle lie and Visborg
have been landed and report the sink
ing of their vessels by German subma-
rines. The other ships sunk were the
British steamers Ransgarth, Alison,
Alert and Rhona, the French sailing
vessels Alfred de Courcey and Malvina
and the Greek steamer Mihail.
The British steamer Ernaston, pre-
viously reported sunk, has been towed
into Gravesend, seriously damaged by
a mine or torpedo.

Washington Sees No
Serious Issue in Case

Washington, Nov. 2s.-Consul Put
nam, at Valencia, Spain, reported to the
State Department to-day that the Che
mung was first Shelled and then tor
pedoeG.
From the meagre details given in the
consul's dispatch, State Department
officials infer that warning was given
and ample opportunity afforded the
crew to escape. The only question that
can be raised, therefore, it is believed,
concerns Germsnys responsibility to
the owners of the ship and cargo.
The case appears TO be similar to
that of the William p. Frye, sunk early
in the war by a German raider II the
vessel carried more than so per cent

stroy her cannot be questioned.

American Crew Resisted

Paris, Nov. 28.-The commander
of the submarine which sank the
Chemung gave the crew only few
minutes to abandon the vessel, not
allowing them to take their money
or papers, says wireless dispatch
from Madrid.
A lively incident preceded the sink
ing of the vessel. The German COM
mander gave orders that the American
flag should be lowered, and German
sailors prepared to put them into ef-
feet. They met with stubborn resist
nnce on the part of the American cap
tain Duffy and his crew, who refused
to haul down the colors, saying that if
the ship had to be sunk it would be
with the flag flying.
Captain Duffy maintained his ground,
and so rapidly were the preparations to
sink the Chemung made that further
discussion about the flag ceased, and
after the captain and crew had been
taken aboard the submarine a torpedo
and three shells against the side of the
American ship sent her to the bottom.
Registered at New York
Although angry at the action of the
German commander, Captain Duffy and
his men had some measure Of satisfac-
tion in seeing the Gag at the masthead
as the waves finally engulfed their
ship.
The Chemung was registered at New
York. The crew found place in two
lifeboats. and after a time on the open
sea were picked up by Spanish
steamer. which took them TO Valencia.
Captain Duffy has made a long report
Of the incident to the American Consul
al Valencia, John 4. Putnam.

The will states that the testator would

among the papers filed that the task
had been started. Under the terms Of
the will IL the trustees appointed can
not carry out the work of establishing

There is some difference of opinion

Berlin, Nov. 2S (by wireless TO Say
yille).-The recent conference Of the
Entente Allied governments at Paris
was followed by an informal discus
sion of the general situation in which
representatives of the small powers
took part, says the "Vossiche Zeitung." "
Belgian, Serbian. Montenegrin and
Italian representatives gave vent TO
bitter feelings against prolongation Of
the war by the large powers and
against the way in which the desires
Of small states were unheeded." the
newspaper asserts. "A former Portu-
guese minister stated that II would
have been better for Portugal to have
maintained neutrality friendly 20 the
Entente and that the war completely
ruined Portugal.
Representatives OF the small states
said il was rsproach 10 neutral
powers that they made no effort TO
bring about peace but sought TO gain
wealth"
The small powers decided TO hold an
other meeting at Paris shortly and TO
follow this with meetings AZ their re-
spectivs capitals, says the newspaper.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-New rep
reservations are about to be made ID
the German government by the
United States concerning the de-
portation Of. Belgian civilians fol
labor in Germany.
What form they shall take has
not been determined, but it became
known tonight that the Administra-
ton is seriously exercised over the
matter and is preparing for its next
step with great deliberation, hoping
to make it effective without strain
ing the relations between the two
countries.
American Charge Grew at Berlin
recently took up this question infor-
mally with the German Foreign Of
fee, and at the State Departments
direction said that a most unfavor.
able impression was being created In
neutral countries, particularly in tbs
United States.
Repulsed by Germany
His effort was unsvailing, however.
The Foreign Office, In a note on its
way to Washington. replied that de-
portation Of the Belgians was a MILF
tary necessity, and was being carried
on In accordance with international
law governing tho treatment OF popu-
lations in conquered territory.
The charges preliminary report, the
lntest appeal for aid from the Bel
gian government and other informa-
sion in the hands Of the State De-
partment were discussed at to-day's
Cabinet meeting, and Secretary Lam
sing remained with the President for
nearly half an hour after the other
members left.
Ambassador Gerard, here for final
conferences before returning 10 Ber-
lin, and Colonel +. NJ. House also
talked over the plight Of the Belgians
during visits to the White House and
the State Department II was said
later that this situation had made
such a profound impression that. for
the present, at least, it had displaced
in interest the submarine issue.
Gerard Prolongs Stay
Ambassador Gerard did not see the
President, but at Mr.. Wilson's request
deferred his plan to leave for New
York and will see him tomorrow. Re-
gsrdles. Of whether IL is decided to in
struct Charge Grew to act further i'm
mediately in the Belgian matter, the
Ambassador will learn the Presidents
personal views on that subject as well
as on the latest developments in sub
marine warfare.
State Department officials admit that
the government is proceeding with the
greatest difficulty in endeavoring to
help the unfortunate Belgians. They
say that virtually the only basis for
representations is the broad ground OF
humanity, and that it is almost impos-
sible to establish an uncontrovertible
statement Of the facts in the case.

WAGES INCREASED
BY STANDARD OIL
10000 BayOnne, Elizabeth
and ClaremOnt Work
erS Get Raise

Less than two months ago 2,OOO
strikers at the Bayonne plant of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
returned to work, defeated in their at
tempt to obtain a raise in wages. Yes
terday their defeat was turned into a
victory, not only for the 1000, but for
approximately 10000 workers in all
three plants of the New Jersey corpora
ton.
A statement issued yesterday at the
Offices of the company, at 26 Broadway
announces that, beginning December J,
the daily wage Of unskilled labor would
be advanced from s2.20 to $3.50; work
ers receiving less than s2.20 would be
raised i'm proportion to the increase in
the unskilled rate, and all other labor
would be advanced 20 cents day.
Bulletins announcing the change will
be posted this morning in the Bayonne,
Elizabeth and Claremont refineries'
The advance is confined exclusively to
employes of the Standard Oil Company
Of New Jersey.
The company's action is more liberal
than the demands of the strikers. The
men asked for a 3O-cent increase for
those earning s2.20 day, 20 cents for
the cheaper operatives, or apprentices
and 90 cents for those earning more
than So a day. An eight-hour day was
tho basis for the demands OF the
strikers. and is likewise the basis OF
the advance.
Had No Guarantee
When the Bayonne strikers returned
to work. on October 81, they returned
without receiving definite promise OF
an increase on the part of the COM
nany. They had only the pledge Of the
Federal mediators that they would take
nm the unsettled issue after the men
had returned to their posts. The COM
pany bought space in the newspapers to
docIare that the strike had been settled
without any promise of increased
wages.
The men struck without formal or
oan,zation. At the time the strike
ended it was said that they would or
ganize union and walk out prepared
for a fight to the finish if the ex-
nected raise was not forthcoming.
There was no reference to the strike
in the statement issued by the company
Yesterday. The increase. 1t was sald,
is in recognition of the increased cost
of living and in maintenance OF the es-
tablished policy OF the company in
keepinc pace with or ahead of the wage
rate Of other industrial establish
ments."
In the present instance, it is declared
the schedule that affects unskilled la
bor is in advance Of nearly all big
manufacturing concerns. The combined
increase in wages paid since August,
1915. and including the adoption Of the
eight-hour day, it is said. represents a
total increase of labor cost TO the CON-
pany of 60 per cent.

Investors Disturbed

In respect to the private investors
participation in foreign war loans
there was added a paragraph as fol-
lows:
"The board does not consider that 1T
is called upon to advise private IN
vestors, but as the United States Is
fast becoming the banker Of foreign
countries in all parts of the world it
takes occasion to suggest that the in
vestor should receive full and authori-

ment Of the past"
Although phrased in very guarded
manner. this expression could not fail
10 create in the public mind certain
vague reservations as TO the desirabil-
i,y Of foreign loans for purposes OF
investment, and that such effect was
actually produced cannot be doubted in
view OF the weakness yesterday in all
that group of securities.

Bank Question One of Degree

In respect to the treasury bills the
opinion Of the Federal Reserve Board
j that the banks. unless warned be-
forehand, will be tempted by the rate
Of interest to lend upon them exces-
sively. The danger in so doing is that
such bills. although technically matur-
inr st short periods do not In fact,
mature at all, as paper" discounted
nv commercial banks should, but in the
very nature Of the case could be paid
oF only with the proceeds of more
bills.
Therefore, the liability would pyra-
mid upon itself and tend to absorb IN
A permanent manner banking resources
which ought to remain liquid.
This is purely banking matter. IN
volving question of degree rather
than one of principle.
