farm LOAN BOARD
TO MAKE TOUR OF
SOUTHERN STATES
Members Have Returned to
Washington After Hold
ing q Hearings in the
North and West.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE federal
farm loan board recently named to put
into operation Uncle Sans new rural
credits act has returned to Washing
ton after holding 81 hearings in the
northern half of the United States.
The hearings were held to determine
in what sections of the country federal
land banks are most badly needed.
Farmers were invited to the hearings
to tell their financial needs, and cities
were invited to present their argu-
ments for the location of the II fed
eral land banks which are to be es-
tablished.
Testimony of farmers indicated that
interest rates on first farm mortgages
in the northern half of the country
range from 5 per cent per annum to 5
per cent per month. Even in many
cases where 5 and per cent per an
mum are charged commissions also are
exacted ranging from a flat l and 2
per cent to l to 8 per cent per annum.
Loans are rarely made for more than
five years and farmers constantly face
the danger of foreclosure.
Testimony indicated that farm devei-
opment had been hampered in the
United States as a result of short time
credits; prospective farmers were I'M
able to borrow to purchase land and
productivity of farms suffered because
farmers could not get sufficient credit
with easy terms of repayment to make
necessary improvements and buy live
stock.
Farmers in nearly every state visited
assured the board that the long time
amortized loan at a low interest rate,
as provided under the new farm loan
act, would be great contribution to
the prosperity of the country; that il
would stimulate agricultural develop
ment; check the increasing percentage
of farm tenantry; increase the per-
rentage of farm investment in improve
ments and livestock and thereby result
In more intensive farming, smaller
farms more farm population, and more
farm prosperity.
The board will leave shortly for a
similar investigation through the south
1t expects to establish the 10 fedora
land banks by January, 1917.

1t Is the general belief here that

Benedict will not at this time make any
serious attempt at ending the war in
view of the known attitude of the al
lies unless Germany agrees to allied
terms of peace.
That Pope Benedict will attempt no
peace move at this time was indicated
in a message addressed by the holy
see to the German episcopate in ses-
sion at Fulda today.

PASSENGERS ON
SHIP FORCED
TO LEAVE

Norfolk, Va, Oct. with the Ward
liner Antilla aflame 15O miles at sea
the passengers and crew were forced
to take to the ships boats tonight, ac-
cording to radiograms received here.
The coast guard cutters Onondaga,
Apache and Seminole, the steamer
Somerset and an unknown warship,
presumably British, have gone to her
assistance.
The wireless operator, sticking man
fully to his post kept sending out
calls for help, saying late tonight that
the flames were creeping upon him
and that he probably would have to
quit. At that time he flashed that
vessels rushing must hagen, though he
said most everyone had already got
ten safely into lifeboats.
Laden with lumber and sugar, the
Antilla was due to arrive in New York
tomorrow. She sailed from Guanta-
namo Sept. 20, taking a crew of 49,
but the passenger list IL any. is I'M
known here. The operator gave no
details as to the cause of the fire.
The steamer Somerset expects to
pick up the passengers and crew of
the Antilla before daybreak, unless
prevented by dense fog. which is max
ing the conveyance of the rescue ves-
sells dangerous.
Late reports from the Antilla said
the passengers and most of the crew
had taken to the boats. The crew, leav-
ing last, were driven from the decks by
the flames.

AMBASSADOR SURPRISED.

There are indicat ons, however, that
the coming of the U-53 was a complete
surprise to the German ambassador.
Ambassador Bernstorff declared as
much this afternoon. And Prince HAITI
feldt, counsellor of the embassy, was
hustling some things INTO a suit case
and preparing to catch a train for
Newport to greet the visitors from
under the sea, when the word came
that they were gone again. He had
not known the boat was coming and
he didn't know it was going so soon, it
was clear.
The embassy declared 1t had no
knowledge of any communication
which the boat might have brought
from Germany.
The dispoition at the embassy, after
the first 81 ock of surprise at the Cap
tain Rose exploit had passed, was to as
sumo a matter of course attitude.

land proved that

CONFERENCE is HELD.


Immediately upon hearing Of the
submarines arrival, British Ambas-
sador Spring Rice, went to the state
department for 90 minute confer
ence with Acting Secretary Polk. He
called to Folks attention the British
government expected in a memorandum
on commercial submarines presented
several weeks ago. England took the
position then that any submarine, arm
ed or commercial, which entered neu-
trail port could not leave again dur
ing the war without that country VIC
lating its neutrality.
While the British ambassador made
no formal protest in today's case, he
took pains to reiterate the view of his
government, should the German feat
be repeated.
England agrees with the position
taken by France, in her protest to
Spain, when the German naval sub
marine VIII CHI delivered the letter from
the kaiser to the king of Spain, san =
a French transport after leaving port.
This was that Spain sho Id not have
permitted the departure of the SUB
marine.
State and naval department officials,
speaking today of the status of a Ger
man naval submarine in an American
port hold the view that it should lie
treated as any orthodox naval craft
regarding it's length of stay and free

THE BRITISH POSITION.

The British position Is that a neu-
tral government cannot be sure a sub
marine is obeying the regulations
which a belligerent war vessel is re-
quired TO follow. For example, IL n
warship is ordered to leave in "a hours,
it is at once apparent to the port Of
ficers whether or not she has done so.
But a submarine may submerge just
before the time limit expires and re-
main inside the three mile limit for
days. She may even leave port. at
tack an enemy ship submerge and then
return beneath the water inside the
three mile limit 1t is for the reason
that the British government holds
that submarine either not be allowed
entrance to. neutral port or should
be interned IL she enters.

EpisCopaIianS Realize That Another Three Years Are Necessary

PROVIDE NEGRO BISHOP
Constitution Amended to Make the Change for
 the Benefit of
 the South. m

ST LOUIS, Oct. 26.-(By maiD.-- Revision and enrichment of the book of common prayer of the Protestant Episcopal church, in general conven. ton here, can not be completed for another three years at least This was determined today when the house of deputies of the convention sent back several sections of the report of a commission appointed to suggest changes at the last general convention. with instructions to re- port at the next conclaye.
 Previously. however the report Of the house Of bishops upon proposed changes in the "order or the holy communion" was read. This report had no value, it was pointed out, as 1t registered the views Of the bish- ops upon the service, concurrent ac- tion of the houses being necessary.
 The house of bishops officially re- iected the recommendation that five of the ten commandments in the communion service be shortened by the elimination of the reasons It was reported also that the house of the question of the reservation of the Questin of the reservation of the sacrament provided for in the report Of the commission.
 Adopt Modern Names
 The house of bishops favored the amendment Of the prayer for Christs church. section of which pleads that Christian rulers may punish" wickedness and vice. The substitu- ton of the word'correct" for the word punish was urged.
 Another change approved was in the title of "The Order for the Holy Communion" This would change the name to Divine Liter. gy," and substitute holy eucharist" for the "holy communion" those terms being deemed more modern.
 Beginning with the convention of 1910, efforts have been made by a wing of the church to have included in the prayer book an office for the anointing of the sick Since then the proposals have gone from committee to committee until final ly the commission's report submit. ted to this convention made no mention of them.
