.BOGIE OF WAR
 ORDERS IS NOT
 ONE TO DISTURB
Uninitiated Get Nervous in the East When the Cancellation Orders
 Again Rife.
MARKET IS BOOMING

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The hogie of war order cancellations has come up to disturb those who don't under stand the ins and outs of the war order business. one may say almost anything about war contracts and still retain his reputation for verac- ity. that is, if he speaks with eau tion and proper regard for actual facts. It may be said, and quite cor rectly, in one comprehensive state ment, that profits on war orders have been large, have been exagger- ated, have been small, or do not ev- en exist, that orders have been cancelled, that some companies have been giving them up after falling to make good, that additional com tracts have been placed that profits have been less than expected and have been more than expected, that goods have been rejected, and so forth. Every one of these state ments is correct of some organiza. ton or other
 \ common error has been to ap- ply one set of circumstances to all the companies having war contracts, whereas the results achieved have varied according to efficiecny of the plants and the management as well as basis of payment. There were concerns that gave up trying to fill war orders more than a year ago because they couldn't turn out sat islactory goods. Others gave up be- cause at the prices they had agreed to accept they couldn't make prof it as on normal lines, the demand for which had recovered in the in- terlm. Some figured costs too close ly and were disappointed at the re- suits: others allowed a wide margin for costs, and found the gains eX- ceeded their highest hopes.
 To say all have failed in the war order business because some have come troopers is to indicate super ficial observation. It is as if one were to say that because one of the original automobile companies had be- come bankrupt, the manufacturer of motor cars could not be undertaken profitable.
 But perhaps the strangest thing about these beariah war contract stories is that they get into print just at the time that among the professional market operators every effort is being made to get the pric- es lower If these stories are true this week. they were just as true last week or the week belor, but the market was booming then and there was no object perhaps in circulat- ing them. But with the trend Of the market turned. they at once be- came of great news value.

Declares Vessel Sent to Bottom No Warning Being Given by
 Submarine.
NINETEEN L0ST LIVES
Gunners Lost Lives ir Attempt to Get Shot at the UnderSea
 Destroyer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-(SpeciaD- A detailed report of the torpedoing and sinking of the British steamer Marina on Oct. 2S off the southwest coast of Ireland, when nineteen per sons, including six Americans, lost their lives, was given here today by forty-one horsemen, American sur vivors of the Marina, who arrived here as passengers on ;he steamship Tuscania from Glasgow.
 Jesse Hancock of Newport News, Va. acting as spokesman, said the ship was torpedoed without warning, two topedoes being fired, the first hitting her on the starboard Quar- ter and the second on the port side. His assertion was supported by the others, that the firing of the second torpedo was unnecessary and had 1t not been fired there would not in all probability have been any loss of life.
 'It was shortly after 3:45 D. m. on Saturday, Oct 2S, when we were about sixty.five miles off shore, that we were attacked" said Hancock.
 Nineteen Are Killed
 "The first warning we had was when the torpedo hit our ship, the explosion all but breaking her in two. Four boats were launched in eighteen minutes and it YVES while the fifth boat was being made ready that the second torpedo was fired It's explosion killed the remaining men on the deck, nineteen in all including six of the horsemen.
 "The dead, as determined from a checking up of our number were: IP. c. Brown. Charlottesville, Va; J. B. Brown, Roanoake, Ne.; George Sedbury, Fayetteville, N. C.; D. P Thomas, Wilmington. Del; w. L. Buoy. formerly g member or the crew Of the steamship orthia, and George House of Norfolk, Va. A man named John Lux, of Seattle, a mem Der of the crew, was among the missing.
 "The submarine was sighted by us shortly after the Marina went down. It came to the surface sev eral hundred yards away but it did not offer us any assistance. We iloated in our boats for eighteen hours, the weather being cold and with sleet and snow failing part oi the time.
 Picked Up By British
 "Nye were discovered by the look out of a lighthouse. The lighthouse sent out signals to British patrol boats which soon afterward appeared Part of us were picked up by the patrol boat Williams, the other by the British ship Wadsworth and We were taken to Castleton and Cross. haven. Ireland. from which points we proceeded to Dublin.
 s"When we left Newport News on September 22, we had a cargo Of horses and ammunition. The horses were landed at Monmouth and the ammunition at Glasgow.
 We left Glasgow on the return trip to Baltimore October 26. Before leaving Glasgow a gun was mounted on the stern and two gunners from British warship were placed on board. Both gunners lost their lives as they stayed by their posts in the hopes of getting a shot at the sub- marine"

BANK RESERVE ACT
REPUBLICAN TARGET
Democratic Boast of Success
in Its Passage May be
Scotched
ONLY TWO BANKS
REPORT PROFIT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. S.--That
the Republicans are gathering an ar
ray of banking statistics to show that
the Federal Reserve act is not per-
forming its function and that the sta
tistics seem TO raise grave question
as to how the act is working out, was
learned here.
Until recently it had been supposed
that Republicans would have nothing
TO say about the new currency law,
for the reason that it had proved a
success. and the Democrats have
been getting ready to use the Federal
Reserve act as a typical successful
achievement Of the Democratic party,
to the discontinue of Republican
spellbinders.
But now 1t appears that the one
Democratic achievement that was
supposed to be bomb-proof is to be
target for heavy assault Just how
far the Republicans will get with
their new thunder" in the face of
the fact that the country is prosper
ing and that there has been no wide
spread panic is not known.

SCHOOL BOARD TURNS DOWN
FEDERATION OF LABOR


A letter from the Chicago FEEDER

education allow it's attorney to an
sWer questions asked by teachers
who were hit by the Loeb rule was
thrown into the waste basket yes
terday by the finance committee.
The teachers, who are members of
the Chicago Teachers Federation,
have asked the board twice to tell
them what it will do if the Loeb rule
should be sustained in the appellate
court, where the fight was taken
after the rule was defeated in the cir
cult court.
The positions of many hundreds of
teachers may depend upon this deci-
sion. They wanted to know what
action would be taken, so they could
prepare themselves for whatever
treatment the board would hand
them.
The labor body asked the finance
committee to offer the teachers this
little courtesy. At the suggestion of
Trustee Jacob Loeb the letter from
the federation was cast into discard.
