Berlin, Oct. IT. Via London,
Oct. 10, Delayed. The Kreigs lei
tung, the evening edition OF the Lo-

the British have ordered the arming

as result Germany may be forced
to take up sharper submarine cam

continues:
"If 1t Is truc that England actually
intends to arm all its merchantmen
with heavy and therefore far-carry-
ing guns and thus label them plainly
as warships intended for attack, it
cannot be avoided that, whether we
wish to or not, we must give a Shar-

'Whcthcr the United States, with

warfare to the situation created by

shall have to go over carefully with
the government of the United States
all the possibilities of the newly Gre
ated situation. For we may accept
this much as now certain: Aside
from few jingoes and shouters who
would involve America in the war at
any price, the American people would
dislike most greatly to have the sub
marine question lead to new dis

Rev. Irl Il. Hicks Dead,
(iRchmond Virginian.)

(iRchmond Virginian.)
Thousands who have long held him
in high esteem will be saddened to
learn Of the death, at his home in st.
Louis, of Rev. Irl r. Hicks, sighting
ly referred to by some as the "long
distance" weather forecaster.
Whatever else he may have been,
Mr.. Hicks was noting of the char
latan. He had a well-defined theory
OF cause and effect as to atmospheric
and seismic disturbances, in which
years Of study and investigation had
deepened his faith. He had hoped
the government would eventually
take charge Of his work and continue
his experiments over period of
years.
Probably his most notable long
range forecast matured on inaugural
tion day, March i, 1909. The night
Of March 3 the government weather
bureau predicted fair weather for
Mr.. Tafts inaugural. In his almanac
for 1909, printed in the latter part
of 1908, and probably edited as early
as August or September. the "long-
distance forecaster predicted that
the biggest snow storm Of the winter
would strike Washington March A. 1t
did. Those who suffered the stings
of King Weather that day we'll re
member the weather bureaus "fall-
down." and the blizzard which swept
over the national capital. Mr.. Hicks
had won.
Mr.. Hicks founded his forecasts on
planetary influence, theory which,
We doubt not. will eventually find
general acceptance.

STORM HITS ANDALUSIA HARD,
FoU" N":...., and Property Damage
az 100000 Reported.

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 19.-Reports
late to-day from the hurricane-swep
section Of Southern Alabama increas-
ed the death toll in Wednesdays
storm from two to four and the prop
erty damage by upwards Of 100000.
Andalusia. a small town near the
Florida boundary line, appears to
have been the chief sufferer, many
buildings being unroofed and several
residences blown down. One person
was killed and several others injured
The other death reported to-day
was in Coffee county, where many
houses were said to have been leveled
and all wires in the county blown
down. Several persons were injured
during the gale, the reports said. As
reports from outlying districts which
now are isolated because of wire
prostrations come in, the property
loss probably will be increased, but
1t Is certain that it will not total any
thing like that caused by the hurri-
cane Of last July.
Further investigations in this civ
and Pensacola to-day revealed that
first reports of the storm damage
were approximately correct, loss on
shore being confined chiefly to un-
rooted buildings and broken plate
glass windows. There were several
marine disasters in each harbor.

ANOTHER YEAR OF WAR?
SO Think the Entente Allies on tic
French Front.

British Front in France, Oct. 10,
via London, Oct. 19.-The war will
last another year, according to the
concensus OF opinion among the Brit
ish soldiers and their leaders. 1t Is
also the opinion Of the Germans if
the views Of prisoners count for any
thing.
Before the grand offensive started,
high authority informed the CORES
pondent Of the Associated Press that
the German line would not be broken
this summer and that slow opera
tions, wearing down the Germans,
would be inaugurated and would
probably last through another sum-
mer. With the approach of winter
conditions which make military
movements dlfhcult, this officer re-
called his prediction and, speaking
Of the situation to-day, said:
1--WE know what the German re-
sources were and what ours were and
the time required to force a decisive
victory for our arms IS a mattor OF
calculation"
Arc Fortifying.
German prisoners taken during the
summer invariably spoke of peace be-
ing a certainty In the autumn. They
regarded the 'Somme thrust as a final
effort Of the allies for a decision and
that after it peace would he made.
Their tone has been entirely differ
ent Of late. They recognize that it is
Il fight to finish between the man
power and resources Of the two foes
and that an ultimate decision will
come from the fearful attrition on
the western front which now will
know no intcrmissiOn until the end.
The Germans are determined to make
every village on the western front a
fortress which will yield only when
reduced by powder, by shell fire. and
every gullcy and crater machine
gun post to secure their defensive
against a critical defeat.
At period when the weather is
adverse to offensive operations else
where, the Germans are apparently
concentrating every possible man and
gun against Roumania. The view OF
the British officers is that the Ger
mans hope to crush Roumania so that
when they have to face a common al
lied offensive in the spring they may
not have to defend the immense
length Of the Roumanian frontier in
addition to what they have had to
defend this summer.

BOAT BREMEN CONCEDED LOST.
Subnlarine Merchantmen 30 Days
VerLue-Know Nothing Of Her.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Loss of the
German submarine merchantmen
Bremen virtually was conceded to-
day by ranking Teutonic diplomats,
in position to be familiar with the
movements Of the vessel. The Brc-
mon Is now one month overdue.
1t was admitted that German OFF,
cials were without Information as to
tho fate of the Bremen. All they
know Is that she set out for America
from Bremcrhaven and that she
should have arrived at an American
port soon after the middle Of last
month.
The disappearance OF the Bremen
will not cause abandonment Of the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the Uni
ted States 1t was said. There ap-
pcared to be reason to expect that
another sub-sea freightcr, either tho
Deutschland or some other, would
reach an American port some time
within the next month.
German officials in Washington do
not believe the Bremen could have
fallen into the hands OF the British
unless she had some accident to her
machinery. They pointed out that,
unlike naval submarines, merchant
submarines avoid all localities fire.
quentcd by shipping and therefore
are not open to the same risks.
Reports that the Bremen had ar
rived safely in New london were
published in newspapers in Germany
more than two weeks ago.
The Bremen was commanded by
nj Sf.h ,.yl l. - ,,,I Il
crew Of approximately - men.
One official said it was considered
most likely that the Bremen had met
the fate OF several naval submarines
which had never been heard from
These vessels have disappeared COM
plctcly and none Of the members OF
their crews has been reported as be-
ing in detention camps OF the allies.
1t IS presumed that they had some
accident.
Another argument advanced in
support Of this theory was that the
Bremen had aboard Il number Of i'm
pOrtant documents for the German
embassy here which probably would
have been made public had they
fallen into the hands Of the British.
