assaulted the administration for it's for

lined the Republican party program in
two respects, as follows:
1--WE do not propose to tolerate any
improper interference with American
property; with American mails, or
with legitimate commercial inter
course. No American who is exercis.
Ing only American rights shall be put
on any blacklist by any foreign ma
ton"
In addition to references to the seiz-
ure of American mails and the Brit
ish blacklist of American firms, Mr.,
Hughes recalled the sinking of the
Lusitania, repeating the declaration
contained in his speech of acceptance
that had the American left no doubt
that when we said "strict accountable
ity'' we meant precisely what we said,
there would have been no destruction
of American lives by the sinking OF the

Are Sent to the Bottom.

New York, Oct. 10-Thirteen shots
were fired at the British ship Strath
dene, one of the vessels sunk by Ger
man submarine off Nantucket Satur-
dag, before Ii members of the crew
had taken to their boats, according to
Captain Wilson, the Strathdene's
commander, who was brought here
with his crew by the Uruguyan steam
er P. L. NJ. No. 4.
ATTACKED Without Warning"
"My ship was attacked without
warming" declared Captain Wilson,
after he had given detailed state
ment of the incident to the British
consul general.
Thirteen shots were fred before
we left the vessel. None of the shots,
however, struck the ship until we had
taken to the boats"
Under instructions from the consul
general Captain Wilson declined to
give out further information.
Takes Oil From Steamer.
Members of the Strathdene's crew
said that after they had pulled away
from the vessel, they saw the submar-
inc approaching the oil steamer Chris
tian Knudsen. The submarine then
returned and torpedoed the Strathdene
and again steamed toward the oil ship
and apparently replenished her oil
tanks.
Several torpedo boats were in the
vicinity the sailors said, when the two
ships were sunk Officers of the res
cuing ship asserted the Strathdene's
officers told them that the submarine
was made fast to the tanker for three
quarters of an hour, taking oil, before
that vessel was sunk.

CHINA WANTS OUR GOODS
American Manufacturers Are Meeting

The Chinese are beginning distinct

gard America as a model from man

viewpoint, according to Maurice Ben
jamin general manager of the Oliver
Import and Export company, Shang-

freight he says, American manufac-
turers are not only gradually finding
their way into China, but are being
sought by the Orientals.
"'The tremendous disturbances in
Europe have not failed to leave traces
in China" he said. 'In this the high
freight rates have played no small
part. China wonders why so large a
mercantile marine. In some lines
where only $40 per ton was paid be-
fore the war for transportation from

error to think that the Chinese are

ing of Chinese in towns where there
are Europeans has probably doubled
