Stephano, which was shelled, torpedoed
and sunk. apparently preferred to
face the war submarine rather than
the danger Of Nantucket sound shoals.
This opinion was expressed by ship
ping men today who looked forward
with interest to the report to his own
ers of the commander whose ship and
cargo, valued at more than a half mil-
lion dollars, fell a victim to the for
tunes of war.
The Stephano en- route from st.
Johns, n. F., for New York, was warn
ed of the presence of a German sub
marine in the Outside" course, it was
said at o'clock Sunday morning.
A personal friend of Capt. Smith said
that the commander evidently was
confronted with the question whether
to hold to his course far out to sea
and, eight hours later rounding Nam
tucket lightship. or of shifting his
course to the inside route between
Nantucket island and the main land.
This latter course is a dangerous
one Few shippers attempt it if their
vessel draws considerable water I'M

weather is ideal. Sunday wind and sea
favored the liner.

the opinion that Capt Smith had been

ROBERT ROGERS

Montreal Oct. 9.-Hon. Robert Rog
ers. acting prime minister of Canada,
in a public statement says there will
be no CONSUMPTION in Canada but that
there will be a form of registration
which will reach every British subject
and make him give a good and sutti-
cient reason for not going to the front
if he is physically fit.
He also states that some method will
be adopted at once to remedy the high
cost of living in Canada This will
probably take the form of taxation on
the huge profits which are being made
by those handling foodstuffs and will

CONSIDER POSSIBILITIES
(Co,.inued from Page One)

The ambassador expressing an en-
tire lack OF official informant ton from
his government on the new submarine
attacks said that Germany had prom
ised to conduct her submarine warfare
in accordance with the rule of cruiser
warfare.
Ambassador Surprised
The ambassador remained with the
President only IL minutes and was smil-
ing when he left. He declared he was az
much surprised as anybody when the
news of the sinking of the first British
ship reached him.
The Ambassador said that the letter
sent him by the commander of the U-5S
was of no importance and merely inform
ed him that the boat intended putting in
at Newport and leaving again soon after
wards. The ambassador read the state
ment given out shortly before this by
President Wilson.
He smiled as he heard it and remarked ::
THAT is very comprehensive" He
would make no further comment.
Smiles at Statement
He declared that he had delivered to
the Presidents personal letter from the
German Emperor on Polish relief What
the President said to me is for him to
give out" he added. Questioned regard
ing the possibility OF peace he said:
Well. it looks peaceful about here
The President had seriously considered
going to Brooklyn Tuesday to attend the
third world series baseball game, but de-
cided to remain at Long Branch and keep
in touch with the submarine situation.
