American Guns Effective.

American gunnery told effectively in
the second skirmish a few days later.
A protecting screen of destroyers
thrown around the transports held the
raiders at safe distance, while the
presence of oil and wreckage on the
surface of the sea after the battle in
dicated the destruction of one and
probably more of the undersea vessels.
Suspect Spies.
Both attacks were made far out on
the Atlantic beyond the ordinary range
of submarine activity. This is taken
to indicate that the German admiralty
had been furnished with information
concerning the precise route to be
taken by the American contingent.
Every effort is being made to run
down the spies who are believed to
have furnished this information to the
enemy.
1t was just week after the first
troops landed that the last vessels
put into the French port. They were

CONGRESS BOMBARDED
With PACIFIST MAIL
Peace Adherents Urge Continuation Of
Present Status.

Insisting that no events have happened
to Justify a transition from armed neu-
traiity to more aggressive policy. the
American Union Against Miiitarism sent
letter yesterday to- every member OF
Congress urging that, the President be
supported in his armed neutrality policy
and that no advance be made from this
policy to one of open and avowed war
fare
The letter reads in part as follows:
Our entrance into the war would
lengthen rather than shorten IT, The
bankruptcy OF England and the starva-
tloh or Germany. together. will bring
a negotiated peace. But If we 60 into
the war and back up EngIand's credit
she will renew her determination to 60
on until Germany is crushed. This will
renew Germany's determination to wage
war to the end. and the conflict will be
dragged out indefinitely.
I'VE are the only greet people left
who are free from those habits of SER
vie obedience to authority which are
the direct result OF war and mflitarism.
AT this crisis and parting of the ways,
let us have the courage to stand UP for
our liberty and independent manhood
against the menace of militarized Amer
lea. We cannot bring democracy to
Europe by going to war We can pre-
serve democracy in this country by stay

Ten different mass meetings, with
American-born speakers" are being held
In Worcester. Mass; Buffalo, Rochester.

10000 PACIFlSTS HERE
FOR huge CONVENTION
Silent Demonstration on Capitol Steps
I Also Probable.

Ten thousand peace enthusiasts from
all parts OF the country will assemble here
tomorrow to hold a convention and silent
demonstration in the interest Of peace.
Peace enthusiasts began to pour IN the
city last night. The largest party. oc-
cupying three trains, is from New York.
Philadelphia and Baltimore each are also
sending car loads OF pacifists.
Although great parties are coming from
the near eastern section of the country.
many are coming from California, Chi
cago, Boston, Detroit and Philadelphia.
There will be about 5000 visitors in all.
No program for the convention or DEM
onstration has been announced by the
American Peace Federation. 1t IL said
that II anything has been arranged 1t will
not be announced but worked out very
quietly. 1t is announced, however. that
the convention meetings will be held at
Convention Hall beginning tomorrow at
II o'clock. They will continue Tuesday
afternoon and evening
Although 1t has not been given out Of
ficially. 1t is thought that the big mass
meeting will make its way to the Capt.
tol after the Monday afternoon meeting
and hold a big silent demonstration on
the steps of the Capitol.
Many prominent speakers have been Sc
cured, among them David Starr Jordan
and Rabbi Judah Magnes, of New York
City: Herbert s. Bigelow. of Ohio. and
Julia Reinhardt. and Carl Bohm. The
first meeting will be given over to busi-
ness and the remaining meetings will be
devoted to ditcussion of the present

Thrilling Tales Told by Aviators at
University Club Meeting.


Members of the University Club went
for little trip up in the air. last night
at the club headquarters, Fifteenth and
1 streets northwest. Claude N. Bennett,
as chairman OF the entertainment COM
mittee OF the club, was responsible for
the appearance OF several aviators who
have seen service on the battle front in
Europe and with our own forces.
Theodore Davis Boal, jr., of this city,
who recently returned from the Somme
front, described the thrills of being aloft
over shell and shrapneI fire. Mr.. Boal
told Of the hazards of the air pilots,
whose business is being the eyes of the
armies which are in a death grapple on
the eastern front.
THE mighty push Of the British and
French forces guided by air pilots and
balloon observers, not only in the Somme
drive, but IN all important battles, leave
no doubt as to the recognized importance

told of the vast improvement under the

manufacture and operation. Modern
battles cannot be successfully fought
without the air pilot, said Lieut.. Towers.
Mai. L. b. Foulois, U. s. A, one of
the best known of American army avi-
ators, who has been actively connected
with the aero squadrons of the army ever
since the introduction OF aircraft, told
of the usefulness Of the aeroplane during
the expedition into Mexico. He said:

CANE
men ASK Higher
PRICE FOR SUGAR

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13-Members
of the executiveI committee of the
American Cane Growers association,
representing all branches of the sugar
industry in Louisiana, last night pre-
sented to John NJ. Parker, state food
administrator, statement to be for
warded to Federal Food Administrator
Hoover, in which it was asserted the
price of 7.25 cents pound for refined
cane sugar, as agreed upon by beet
sugar producers. was too low and
would allow little or no margin of
profit to planters. Louisiana raw
sugar, it was figued, would be worth
about SIS cents with refined at 1926.
A price of IS cents for raw sugar
would be an increase of AZ per cent
over the average price during the year
before the war, but, according to the
statement, cost of production since
has increased approximately 126 per
cent -:
Should planters receive no more
than 5.S cents, the statement said, pro-
duction would be greatly decreased.

of the suspended matter was remov.
ed by screening and filter-pressing,
a great deal Of minute particles were
left in Juice passing into the syrup
and molasses. 1t is at the point
VIXEN the latter are worked up into
low grades that the presence of these
solids was found most Objectionable.
They seemed to render the masse-
cuites more viscous and purging is
much retarded.
The conclusions obtained from the
various letters from the mills we're
as follows, according to the commit
tees report: r..
The preparation of cane for milling,
by either knives or shredders, in
creases the grinding capacity of the
mill as well as the extraction of
sugar. In reducing the cane to avery
fine state, however, certain Difficult
ties arise which must be overcome
II the full benefit is to 5e derived
from the additional installations:
Provision must be made for prevent.
ing chips of cane from falling through
the stats of the carrier; II the boiling
apparatus is not able to utilize the
additional exhaust steam produced
from driving shredders, more heat.
ing surface must be added; recon
struction of the furnaces so as to be
able to utilize the finer bagasse Sc.
cured from the shredder. The finer
bagasse Is not as good fuel as the
coarser variety, as much of il goes
up the smokestack in q carbonized
state; revision of the filtering station
to remove large quantities of sus
pended matter in the raw Juice.
Fire-room efficiency next took up
the attention of chemists and engin-
neers. The, report Of the committee
on the matter strongly urged that an
enforced boiler inspection be main
tanned, and the delegates were favor
able to the recommendations. The
delegates believe that now since mill
ing and engineering has been brought
to such a high plane, the attention of
the engieers ad chemists should be
directed to the fire-room.
The ultimate end of fire-room ef-
ficiency should be to generate enough
steam for the factory requirements at
the lowest cost according to the re-
port. Factors that affect the cost are:
Capital inyesed. fuel, operation, re
pairs and depreciation. And one of
the most important Is safety. i
The report urged the adoption OF a
systematic gauge for the boiler room,
but cleanliness of boilers, 1t was point.
ed out, is more important than all
the recorders put together. Sand
blasts have been found to do the work
more thoroughly and rapid. The CON-
mittee reminded the engineers to keep
all heating surfaces in the boiling
house as clean as possible. Look
after small steam leaks. Cover all ex.
posed piping. ..=
