U-Boats Sink
Only l3 British
Ships in Week
Smallest Number Destroyed
Since the Beginning of
Ruthlessness

LONDON, Oct. 3.-For the second
consecutive week the number Of Brit
ish merchantmen sunk by German sub
marines is lower than at any time since
Germany began her intensive campaign.
Only thirteen ships were sunk last
week-eleven over 1900 tons and two
under-the Admiralty announced TO-
night. Last week fifteen vessels were
destroyed-thirteen over 1900 tons and
two under that figure.
The shipping summary follows:
Arrivals. $3.50; sailings, 2,742. Two
of the sunken ships in the larger class
were sunk in previous period. Fish
ing vessels sunk. none. British mer-
chant vessels unsuccessfully attacked,
including seven previously. sixteen.
The high water mark of the entire
campaign was established in the week
ended April 21, when ffty-fve ships
were sunk, forty of them Of more than
! 1000 tons.
Coupled with the statement to-day
by Winston Churchill. Minister of Mu'
nitions. that the submarine campaign
had been "repulsed," if not defeated,
the sharp reduction Of shipping losses
in the last two weeks has served TO
hearten the British people TO a great
extent.
The capacity Of the country to wage
war. declared Churchill. was unim-
paired; the armies had been supplied
with an ever increasing high level OF
equipment and the reserves OF food
were greater than before the submarine
campaign began.
II was too early 20 say the U-boat
campaign had been defeated, the speak
er said, but II was not toe soon TO say
that tins vital attack on the country
had been checked, even repulsed.
The total of all losses TO worlds
shipping since Germany's ruthless
U-boat war went into effect aggregate
about two-thirds of those claimed by
the Germans in a statement issued Sep
tember /. At that time the Germans
alleged that an average of 100000 tons
had been sunk monthly for seven
months.
The actual totals of tonnage sunk
compiled here show that not even dur
ing the most successful month for the
U-boat-April-have the figures reached
anv such proportion, while the August
losses dropped to almost half the April
figure.

Glue Them Bomb for Bomb,
Lord Northclife Urges

TORONTO, Oct. 3.--Lord Northclfre
expressed himself to-day AS strongly in
favor Of reprisals for the German air
raids on London.
"The French. give them bomb for
bomb. That is the remedy" he de-
clared.
Lord Northcliffe pointed out that the
reason Paris had been so free from air
raids was because the Germans knew
that for every bomb they dropped on
the French capital, some German city
would receive she'll from the French
fiers.

French Fail in 9 Attacks; {;
Haig Holds Flanders Line
in Stiff Fighting

LONDON, Oct. 3.-After repeated ef'
forts for the last week to breaf
through the French lines on the Nerdun
front, the Crown Prince succeeded to-
day in Wrestling from Petain's troops
a trench section east of the Meuse.
According TO the official statement
from Berlin, Wurtemberg battalions
stormed this morning the advanced
French positions on front of nearly
three-quarters of mile on the north
ern slopes Of Hill 344, and held them
against nine furious counter attacks,
IN which the French are declared to
have suffered ssngulnary losses. one
hundred and fifty prisoners were taken,
Berlin says.
Meanwhile, for the sixth successive
day, Won Arnim's troops on the Ipres
front met with decisive defeat in fur
ther powerful efforts TO win back part
OF the important positions between
Tower Hamlets and Polygon Wood.
The curtain Of steel raised by the Brit
ish batteries prevented most of the
attacking troops from reaching the hos
tile trenches, and the British infantry
completed the work of the artillery
wherever the enemy penetrated the
barrage. Field Marshal Haig reports
tonight that the British positions re-
main intact.
British aviators again carried out
successful raids on the enemy's works,
scoring hits on three great aiTdromes

French Vainly Ask
For Ships to Carry
Supplies for Army

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. - After
months of fruitless negotiations with
the Shipping Board. the French COM
mission to the United States has given
up hope Of getting tonnage from that
body TO move supplies for the French
army from America to France, and has
applied TO Secretary Baker for ships.
If that fails. the next move will be
an appeal to the President direct.
There are now lying on American
piers more than 100000 tons of sup
plies for the French army. Some Of
this enormous tonnage has been there
for more than year The congestion
is increasing. Supplies ordered and
paid for by France are being shipped
every day TO the seaboard, but very lit
tie is being moved across the ocean.
Included in these supplies are several
hundred thousand tons 81 steel needed
in France for the manufacture of shells
and cannon. Yet. the only thing France
has been able to get moved since June
has been a 1ew thousand tons OF oil
Nitrate, one OF the prime requisites
for the manufacture Of high explosives
is now an absolute necessity for
France. But she can get no ships to
carry nitrate.
May Establish Plants Here
The French High Commission has
begged the Shipping Board for one or
two ships TO carry nitrate from Chile
10 France. BIT nothing has been done
and the commission is considering es-
tablishing plants in this country for
the manufacture of nitrates, in the
hope that if that is done the Shipping
Board will allot space for few tons
on some ship going TO France.
England had huge freight conges
tion on American piers. and Lord
Northcliffe was sent TO this country 10
see what could be done about il. He
brought the English traffic up to date.
But England had ships of her own 10
carry supplies. France has no mcr-
chant marine of her own. She has 70
depend on this country
The French commission has explained
20 Secretary Baker what it means 10
France. to America, and to the whole
Allied cause TO let the French stocks
of steel and ether supplies get below
a certain point.
The Shipping Boards reply TO the
French commissions request has been
that il could not furnish ships 10 move
the French material and also move
supplies for the American army. 1t has
been pointed out that the French army
is fighting daily as a cover 10 the
American force in formation, and must
continue the fight, but no results have
been obtained.

Large Funds Came
From Bernstorf
Results of an Investiga-
ton by New York's
Attorney General Will
Be Reported to French
Ambassador

There are theatrical Developments in
the case Of Bolo Pacha, Germany's
master spy and propagandist, now
prisoner in Paris.
Both the French and American gov
ernments have been investigating his
relations with William Randolph
Hearst. At the same time, Merton =
Lewis, Attorney General OF New York.
has been conducting an inquiry into
Bolo Pachs's activities in this country
in 1916. This investigation was or-
dered by Governor Whitman, on re-
quest of the French authorities.
The Attorney Generals report IS
ready, and will be in the hands Of NJ
Jusserand, the French Ambassador. 10
day. 1t involves several German agents
and propagandists and discioses their
relations with Hearst and other citl-
zens.
French officials are now cooperating
with American in collecting the entire
story of Bolo Pacha's amazing sctiyi-
ties in America and France.
While Bolo Pacha was in America,
conspiring with Count Won Bernstorf,
Or. Heinrich Albert and the smaller
fry of the German spy system. he was
on very friendly terms with the owner
Of "The New York American" On at
least one occasion he entertained
Heefet.s lie was received as . guest In
the Hearst home on Riverside Drive.
..-Rsceived s1,ess,5oo From Bernstord
Mr. Lewis's investigations have also
brought out the fact that the spy re-
ceived 81, 800 from Count Won Bern
storff, who acted upon orders from
Zimmerman, the then German Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs. He also re-
ceived millions through Swiss banks
and other large amounts from sources
in this country which have not yet
been made public.
1t is also shown that Bolo Pscha
made astute use Of camoufsge and de-
posted the money which he received
from Bernstorff to debauch newspapers
here and in France, in the New York
branch of the Royal Bank of Canada.
Three checks in the possession OF
Mr.. Lewis show how the camoufage
was applied. The first shows the initial
withdrawal in cash of 100000 on order
of Hugo Schmidt, New York representa-
tive of the Deutsches Bank, from an
account kept in the Guaranty Trust
Company. The second, a check for the
same amount 70 the Royal Canadian
Bank, and signed by G. Amsinck & Co.,
like the first, fails to disclose the orr
gin Of the money.
