NONSTOP FLIGHT RECORD
IS MADE BY CARLsTROM
Engine Trouble Brings Aviator
Down at Erie on(ChiCago-
New York Trip
BY Associated Press.l

ERIE, Pa, Nov. 2.-When Aviator
Victor Carlstrom, VINO is flying from
Chicago to New York, landed in this
city at 1926 a. m. today because of en-
CINE trouble, he had established i new
American nonstop flight record. Erie
is just half the distance Carlstrom set
out to cover.
The aviator was flying about seven
miles south of Erie when a pipe came
loose on his engine and he made for this
city so that he could obtain mechanical
assistance. He landed easily in a large
open field and jumping from the car
at once began repairs. He said that
he was delighted with the flight and
although disappointed because of the
slight engine trouble, he deemed it ad-
visabIe to take no unnecessary chances,
as he was very anxious to get to New
York by o'clock this evening.
The engine was doing all he had eX-
pected of it in the way of speed, the
distance between Cleveland and Erie
having been covered in so minutes.
The aviator is carrying a sack of
mail made up of letters from city Of
York Included are several communica-
tions said to be destined for the
Deutschland at New London, Conn.
Carlstrom has a special appointment
as aerial letter carrier. His trip is be-
ing under the auspices Of a New York
newspaper.

j. S. AWAITS GERMANY's
REPORT ON MARINA CASE
Report of Intention to Cease
Warning Ships Causes
Some Concern
by Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-State de-
partment officials still were waiting to.
day for Germany's version of the de-
struction of the British steamer Marina
with loss of American lives. They also
were expecting affidavits and other data
gathered from American survivors on
which to determine whether Germany s
pledges to the United States had been
broken.
A news dispatch from Athens last
night, saying the Greek government had
been notified Germany intended to sink
without warning all ships carrying sup
plies to the allies was regarded here as
of great Importance. So far as is known
the United States has received no such
notification and it is not kn9vn wheth-
er one has been sent to other 7neutrals.
Such a procedure would be regarded
by the United States as directly con-
trary to Germany's pledges.
Secretary Lansing said today that the
United States understands Germany 5
pledges not to sink merchantmen with
out warning and without providing Tor
the safety of passengers and crew, APP
plies to ships with defensive armament.
No distinction was drawn in the cor
Tespondence between armed and unarm-
ed ships and the state department does
not accept any contention that Ger
many's responsibility is limited to those
! without armament. Nevertheless, it is
admitted that Germany has always TAX
en- a distinct view of the status of arm
ed ships and it is thought probable
| that she will attempt to inject the point
| into the present situation So long as
the policies of the two governments are
SO utterly divergent, 1t is thought pos
sible that Germany might use the Ma
rina case to settle the issue. Her III
| creased submarine warfare, combined
with the increasing number of armed
allied ships and their increasing ef-
ficiency in defense, makes it a vital
question to her.
Secretary Lansing said his tnforma-
ton was substantially the same as that
of the newspapers.
Germany and Austria on February 10
in substantially the same terms, noti-
fled the United States to the folowI-.7
effect:
Enemy merchantmen armed with
guns no longer have the right to be
considered as peaceable merchant ve5-
sells OF commerce. Therefore. the Ger
man naval forces will receive orders 10
treat such vessels as belligerents-'
However, in accepting the American
note on the Sussex demanding the aban-
1. donment of its submarine warfare
against passenger and freight carry
ing vessels" Germany said such YES
sells should not be sunk without warn
ing and without providing for the safe
ty of passengers and crew, unless the
ships attempt TO escape or offer re-
sistance'
No condition was made as TO armed
ships.

&c. M. Gambler Offers
Plan to Help Railroads
Prevent Car Shortage

In the opinion of c. NJ Gambler chair
man of the Georgia railroad commits
sion, future car shortages such as is
at present having q serious effect upon
/ the coal supply and that of other neces-
sary commodities, can be averted
through the following means:
First The railroads to build more
cars.
Second: The per diem charge for the
use by one railroad of another railroads
cars TO be increased so that it would
be cheaper to own cars than to arbi-
trarily confiscate them,
Third: Demurrage rates to be in
creased so that ii would he cheaper for
shippers to rent warehouses than 20
hold cars for the storage of shipments.
Fourth: Cars should be loaded nearer
to their capacity.
/ 1t is said that few of the large rail
roads of the country have an adequate
number of cars and that practically
none of the smaller roads own anything
like the number of cars required for
their traffic.
At present the per diem which one
road must pay another for its use OF
! the others cars is but 45 cents; it is
obviously cheaper to pay the per diem
/ than to build cars.
Present demurrage chargs are 81 a
/ day after the forty-eight hours allow
\ ed for the unloading of cars. Many in
I dividuals and business concerns have
/ long strings Of cars tied up on sidings
/ finding it cheaper to pay demurrage
! than to store in warehouses.
II is a common thing for shippers
! to put minimum load on a car often
/ times three cars being required to
/ transport what could be easily loaded
on one.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-Fort Vaux.
one of the most important Qualifications
captured by the German crown prince
in his drive at Verdun, has been evac-
uated by the Germans. The evacuation
is announced by Berlin today.
Shortly before Fort Douaumonr had
been retaken and a wide stretch of the
front in this region regained by the
French in their sudden offensive move
ment on October 25, it was pointed out
that Fort Vaux likewise had been put
in a perilous position. The French adj
vanced close to the edge of the forth
fication on its immediate front and
pushed well beyond it on each side, max
| ing its fall, in the opinion of observers,
only a question of a short time.
The Germans evacuated Fort Vaux
during the night, says their official
/ report, without hindrance by the French
and after portions of the fort had been
blown up. The French continued to pour
heavy fire from their big guns on the
| fortification.

I There is no apparent let-up in the
pressure which General Won Falkenhayh

western frontier, but in general the Ru-
manians are reported to be holding him
firmly well in check. No new advances
of importance are announced today by
the German war office.

High Cost Of Burial Is
Also Laid on the War

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The European
war is held responsible for the increase
in the cost of burial supplies and con-
sequent advance announced today by I'M
dertakers for funeral SERVES. Owing
to the war, il was said, "undertakers'
hardware plates and coffin
handles-has risen in price from 20 to
40 per cent due to the fact, the sup
ply men claim, that the chemicals used
to give the nickel effect is not now be-
ing imported. 1t is estimated that even
