AMERICAN TRADE
WILL Be HAMPERED

London, Oct. 9.-Possible disagree
ment between England and the
United States as result of the Ger
man U boats activities of the Amer
lean coast, was forecast by the Daily
Chronicle today.
Counter-measures taken by the al
lies will hamper American trade and
also make 1t unhealthy" for Ameri-
can submarines OF the coast of the
United States, the newspaper as
serted.
The United States disagreed with
us when ii admitted the Deutschland,
but yhe disagreement in this case is
much sharper when 1t admits pirate
craft like the U-53 and fraught with
many more inconvenience for the
United States said the Chronicle.
What is to prevent the U53 being
replenished at American ports and
practically using the United States
coast as base for preying on French
and English steamers?
Obviously" IL Germany is allowed
to wage such a war off the United
States coast. We must take counter
measures. American trade will be
hambered. and, incidentally. the
other side OF the Atlantic will become
very unhealthy. not only for German,
but for American submarines.
''All these difficulties will be avoid
ed II the United States government
declines TO let its coast become a Ger
man submarine base. and We must
still earnestly shope that the policy
adopted in t&case OF the u.53 may
be reconsdered.

j, 5, DESTROYERS
BRING SURVIVORS

Newport, r. l.. Oct. 9.-Dripping
with brine, which stood out like sweat
on their steel sides, from the prodi-
gious efforts Of rescuing passengers
OF six torpedoed merchant ships. four
United States destroyers arrived here
before dawn today. bringing the first
stories OF the European war carried
to Americas doorstep.
While searchllshts flashed and
whistles sounded. the destroyer Erics-
son--the first 10 arriye--nosed her
way back from the scene Of operations
of Germany's Y boats.
OF the 81 persons picked up from
small boats by the Ericsson not one
was injured. Practically all, however.
had lost every personal belonging.
They had only the clothes they wore.
Fourteen babies were In the boats
the Ericsson found bobbing on the
water, which had become the grave OF
the steamer Stephano. bound from ST.
Johns 10 New York. Many were
sleeping peacefully In the arms OF
their mothers or nurses. as the life
boats rolled and rocked with the
gentle sway OF the sea. Almost all
might long the boats had drifted On
ly the dim light OF lantern In the
life-saying craft and the soft rays OF
the moon. sitting lntermittently
through the clouds, served TO light
the scene. which but few hours be-
fore had been one OF Americas peace.
The passengers on the stephano
took to the small boats at G30 Sun
day evening. They were adrlft until
about 2:30 this morning.
There was no sign OF lfysterla or
fright as men, women. and even an
eightyear-old child. told their stories
of being suddenly reused from din
ing tables, from little social gather
ings In saloons. and OF babies hurried
ly wakened from sleep to be hustled
over the side and into lifeboats On
ly a short distance away floated a sea
green monster The submarine rest
ed low In the water her bulging sides
and pointed snout giving her the APP
pearance OF giant man-kllling hsh.
When the first alarm was given and
shot came screaming across the bow
Of the Stephano. many passengers re-
fused 10 believe they we're being at
tackled by a submarine. They laugh
ed when an officer rushed by shouting
that all must don life preservers and
take 10 the boats But the serious
mien Of the children. the hurryng
about OF the crew and n glimpse from
the deck Of the ship convinced them.
Thousands ihrongcd the Newport
water front ps the destroyers put into
port with their cargoes OF human
freight picked up from the sea. Newt
port society turned out in force. Mrs.

German submarines has given -

of the county superintendents of the
revised list of books for high schools
A number of important changes have
been made. The new lists will be in
the hands of the high school prin-
cipals by August ].
The rules and regulations giving
certificates TO teachers have been re-
vised and a pamphlet containing the
revision will be issued early in the
new school year All teachers certif-
icates issued before 1916 are TO be re-
placed by an equivalent certificate as
prescribed in the new rules. so that
the record of certificates in force may
be more systematically kept up tC

Dr. Charles A. Wagner is preparing
arguments to submit TO the Rookie

claim that there is need Of a. super

been found that in colored schools al

range from 5 to is years: in grade 2
