BREMEN LOST
IN OPINION OF
HIGH OFFICIALS
Submarine Merchant Vessel
From Germany Overdue
at Least a Month
RUMANIANS FORCE
THE TEUTONS BACK

Washington, D. c. Oct 19.-Loss OF
the German submarine merchantmen
Bremen virtually was considered to-
day by ranking diplomats in position
to be familiar with the movements OF
the vessel. The Bremen Is now one
month overdue.
It was admitted that German ofi-
.cials. not only in this country but In
Berlin were without Information as to
the fate Of the Bremen. All they
know is that she set out for America
from Bremerhaven and that she
should have arrived at an American
port soon after the middle Of last
month. 1t is regarded as doubtful that
accurate information concerning the
fate Of the vessel will be available un-
til after the close of the war, II then.
The disappearance Of the Bremen
will not cause abandonment Of the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the United
States. 1t was said. There appeared
to be reason to expect that another
submarine sea freighter either the
Deutschland or some other, would
reach an American port some time
within the next month. -
German oficials in Washington do
mot believe the Bremen could have
fallen into the hands of the British un-
less she had some accident to her ma
chinery. They pointed out that unlike
naval submarines, merchant subma-
rines avoid all localities frequented
by shipping and therefore are not op-
en- to the same Risks. When the Bre-
men was week overdue no anxiety
over her was felt.
When the vessel was two weeks
overdue anxiety was apparent In var
ious Teutonic quarters. Since then
hope that the submarine might be safe
has dwindled each day and today she
was spoken OF as having been lost.
Reports that the Bremen had ar
rived safely in New London. Conn.,,
were published in newspapers in Ger
many more than two weeks ago. 1t
was at New London that dock had
been specially arranged for the recep-
tion OF the craft.
The Bremen was commanded by
Captain Schwarzkopf and carried a
crew OF approximately twenty-five
men.

TELLS WHY HUGHES
SHOULD BE ELECTED
FORMER SENATOR AND NOTED
PROGRESSIVE LEADER SETS
FORTH REASONS.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-The republican
headquarters here today gave out q
statement from former United States
Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon Of Montana,
manager Of the Roosevelt campaign in
1912. In the statement Senator Dixon
sets forth reasons why Charles e.
Hughes should be elected president of
the United States. The statement fol-
lows:
1T is futile for the democrats to ex-
.pect to attract any percepuble proper
ton Of the progressive voters Of four
years ago. Mr.. Hughes is progressive
enough for ell of us. The man who
successfully conducted the probe of the
insurance scandal was amonog the
earliest Of our genuine progressive
leaders.
"Mr. Hughes has never been aligned
with any element in the republican
party that could be considered re-
dictionary His entire course during
his public career has been along pro-
gressive lines and in the furtherance
OF doctrines that are purely progress
sive. He earned the confidence and
esteem Of the progressive element OF
both parties during his admtnistra-
tion as governor of New York. He
made the Albany climate an unhealthy
one for the political bosses; he
changed the old order Of things com
pletely; he attracted the combined
antagonism Of the special interests
and those who had come to think.
through years Of intrenched security,
that they were bigger than the law
and the constitution.
"Mr. Hughes leadership IN this cam
paign Is really the harvest Of the crop
sown by the progressives during the
past six years. His nomination is
triumph for the progressive forces IN
American politics. That Mr.. Hughes
recognizes this fact is shown In the
personnel OF his campaign committee
and the men chosen to direct the bat
tie this fall.
mot even Mr.. Hughes enemies
have dared to question his political
and personal integrity. His elevation
to the supreme bench met with the
Communications OF all good Americans
regardless Of political ahiliations. His
nomination for the presidency is . fine
illustration of the spirit >of our times.
a spirit which commends and rewards
honesty. fearlessness and ehaciency In
the public service Without seeking
the nomination. without even author
izing others to seek It for him, he be-
came the, choice OF his party. BY the
sheer force OF his personality. his dis
tinguished public service and his in
difference to personal ambition, he at
tracted all elements to his party. No
machine. no combination Of influential
leaders. no clique or faction promoted
his candidacy. It has been said and
with some measure of truth. Nobody
wanted Hughes except the people"
II have no hesitancy in predicting
that Montana will roll up splendid
majority for Mr.. Hughes"

partment Of Justice on the old law was
known. Secretary Of State W. s. AL.
len got into communication with vir-
tually every county in the state to ar
range with the county auditors for the
printing OF the ballots 1t was expect
ed that virtually every county will have

Of the county candidates to the border.

county tickets to the secretary of
state. The ballots will be prepared In

poean,t AIways Conc True.

Doesn't Always Come true.
 "The team that gets the hits wins the games" is an old baseball adage, but it's truth is not apparent, af ter a perusal of the official records for the season of 1916 in the Ma tional League. These statistics show that the Cincinnati Reds, who fin- ished in tie for last place, made more bingles than any other team in the league except Brooklyn, and were only 16 behind the Superbas. Brooklyn had total of 1246 safe ties, and Cincinnati had 1880. Pitts burgh made 1245 bingles, exactly as many as the Phillies, yet Moran's team finished second and the Pirates landed sixth. Boston, which fin- ished third. made fewer hits than any other team in the league-get- ting only 1176. Another peculiar thing shown in the records is that, while Brooklyn won 29 more games than did Pittsburgh. the Superbas scored only 69 more runs. New York, which finished fourth, scored 12 more runs than Brooklyn. Still another unusual thing Is that Brook lyn. the pennant winning team, had more runners left on bases than any of its rivals, 1920 Superba run ners being stranded. The Pirates were second with 1912 men left.
