GERMANY TO HOLD
Ill CONQUERED
territory
Assertion By Count Westarp at
Opening of Reichstag
SOCIALISTS OPPOSE PLAN
Engands Cry Of War to the Bitter
End PrecIudes Peace Now De-
sired by All Nations.

Berlin, via London. Oct. 12-Count
Westarp, leader of the Conservative
party, regulated in a speech at the
opening of the Reichstag yesterday
the idea that Germany will restore Bel
gium and the conquered French terri
tory to their former owners. Ger
many will keep all her conquered ter
ritory, he said, answering Herr Schei-
demann, the Socialist leader.
NO" the Conservative leader said,
what we conquered at the cost of our
blood we will hold as long as neces-
sary in order to assuer the future of
tthe German nation"
Herr Scheidemann said: STANCES
for peace today are poor Since BRAND
and Lloyd George have preached war
until the bitter end, the Chancellor is
unable to talk peace. Bue we are free
to do so. The nations want peace. If
the contrary be said in any country,
then it is absolutely untrue.
"The French nation is kept ignorant
by censorial prohibition of the fact
that it could see its country, as well
as Belgium, free today of German
troops without shedding one more
drop of blood and without losing one
more square foot of soil. What do
these nations still fight for? That the
French shall stay in Farnce, that the
Belgians shall stay in eBlgium, that
the Germans shall stay in Germany
This is the main basis upon which the
coming peace will be constructed"
1t is practically certain the Reich
stag will not discuss the submarine
question during the session. The
budget committee, by vote of "a to 4,
has declared against the discussion.
Major Ernest Bassermann, leader of
the National Liberal party, aftersaying
that the budget committee, for which
he spoke, had considered thoroughly
and under the impression of the high
Importance of the question tits every
aspect" said
The committee recommends that
the Reichstag in its deliberations alb
stain from discussion of submarine
warfare. 1t bases this attitude on the
standpoint that thorough discussion
of the naval, technical, military, econo
mic and political details is impossible
without injury to the interests of the
fatherland, and that without such
thorough discussion the subject could
not be completely cleared up"

klNGsTONIAN SAFE
British Freighter Reported Sunk in
Submarine Raid.

Submarine Raid
Boston. Oct 13.-The British steam.
er Kingstonian reported as among
those torpedoed by a German subma-
rine off Nantucket last Sunday. is safe
in port, according to word received
here yesterday by John NJ. Thomas.
local manager of the Leyland line,
which owns the steamer. Mr.. Thomas
said his information showed that the
Kinkstonian was thousands of miles
from Nantucket last Sunday.
AS the Kingstonian is in the serv-
ice of the British admiralty, Mr..
Thomas was not permitted to indicate
the port at which she had arrived.
but he said that it would take her
two weeks of steaming at her usual
speed to reach Nantucket, so that it
was evident she was nowhere near
the scene of the submarines opera
tions in those waters last Sunday.
This information serves to confirm
the opinion held by marine men at
Boston that the report of the King
stonian's loss arose from a confusion
of her name with that of the steamer
Knudsen, the Norwegian tank steam
er sunk by the U. boat Capt Wilson
of the British steamer Strathdene.
another of the ships caught by the
submarine, hailed a passing vessel
and inquired her name. He under
stood the reply to be Kingston" and
later after the submarine had tor
pedoed the same vessel and her crew
had taken to their boats. Capt. Wilson
reported to the Nantucket lightship
the loss of the supposed Kingston :"
There was no record of any steamer
of that name in these waters but it
was thought possible that the King
stonian might be the submarines
victim as on account of her work for
the British admiralty her movements
are not recorded in maritime regis
tiers. The theory now held by ship
ping agents at Boston is that the yes
sci hailed by the Strathdene was the
Knudsen

New York, Oct. 13.-One man was
killed and a score of more were wound
ed, five dangerously. in riots i'll con
nection with the Standard Oil strike in
Bayonne yesterday afternoon. Follow
ing night of terror, in which strike
sympathizers raided a saloon and a
clothing store and four fires were
started by incendiaries, the police
cowed the army of idle men into at
least temporary submission.
The man killed was Isador Nalitsky,
22 years old, lawyer employed in
the office of Newman & Neiler. Ma
litsky had gone to collect rents at a
house in the neighborhood of East
Twenty-first street and Prospect ave-
nue. He was shot in the back. the bull
let entering one of the lungs, and fell
dead in the street. The police believe
the killing was the work OF sniper.
When the police tonight attempted
to repeat their work OF clearing out
the dead line district they were fired
upon by strikers and sympathizers at
Nineteenth street and Avenue f..
The police returned the fire and
charged the crowd
The police force which invaded the
strike zone was composed of two hun.

rife. a revolver or a club. They

remain indoors. When a man appear
ed in the street he was warned to go
inside. If he hesitated a shot was
fired over his head. Usually this warn
ing was sufficient.
BE sides clearing the streets the
police Taided twelve saloons, smashing
bottles and opening beer kegs. City
officials on Monday had ordered each
of the saloon keepers in the strike
area on Constable Hook to keep their
places closed. They believe that If
all liquor can be removed from the
men half the problem, so far as the
preservation of the peace is concerned
will have been solved.
