Antilles Vas
Crack Boat of
MOrganLines
(By Review Leased Wire. }

NEW YORK, Oct l9.-The Antil-
les, a freight and passenger transport
steamship of 6,S7S tons gross. owned
by the Southern Pacific Steamship
company Morgan line) was one of the
crack American coast liners. She piled
between New Orleans and New York
and had carried thousands of persons
to the Mardi Gras celebration in the
southern city.
Taken Over Early.
The vessel was taken over by the
government as transport early in the
war. Captain H. F. Boyde. master
of the Antilles retained his command
when the vessel entered the govern
ment service as did most of his offic-
ers The crew as recruited by the
quartermaster's department included
many of the men who had served on
the steamship when she was in the
merchant service. The Antilles was
built by the Cramps at Philadelphia
in 1907 She was 421 feet long with
a beam of SO feet and a depth of 81
feet.
The Antilles was withdrawn from
the coastwise trade temporarily ik
September 1914. to make a trip to
Genoa, Italy, to bring home about 400
Americans who had been stranded in
Europe at the outbreak of hostilities
The party mobilized at Genoa under
the leadership of L. F. Loree president
of the Delaware, and Hudson Railway
company. to await the arrival of an
American vessel. The Antilles sailed
from Genoa on September IL and ar
rived in New York on September 26.

by School System,

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Agitation
against the army system in the public
schools in this city by thousands of
boys and girls who paraded the
streets and stoned school buildings
and policemen rose to proportions to-
day that called the authorities to use
sterner measures. The strike has been
spreading daily and it was said tonight
demonstrations on a large scale are
planned for next week.
By request of the board OF education
policemen were detailed today to
guard 32 schools and several women
and children were arrested in Brook
lyn and the Bronx. The juvenile riot.
ers kept the police busy. The most
serious rioting occurred in the Browns
vile section of Brooklyn, inhabited by
a large Jewish population. Two po-
licemen were hurt by the rioters.
officials of the Gary school league
made open charges today that many
school teachers were 'conniving" to
create opposition to the guaranty plan
and that politicians were "inciting''
the children to join In the street DEM

Coast In Night
(By Review Leased Wire.)

LONDON, Get 19.-The following
official communication was issued.
Hostile airships attacked the east,
ern and northeastern counties this eve,
ming. The enemy aircraft proceeded
some distance in land over these coun.
ties but did not carry any very def
mite attack. Six or seven raiders took
part and boombs have been dropped
at various points, including a few in
the London area. The raid is still
in progress"
There were the customary scenes
in London. The people hurried to the
subways and other shelters. which
were soon filled. The omnibuses, how
ever, continued running.
After the warning was sounded very
distant roars of guns were heard for
a few minutes. The searchlights were
in action. but no hostile aircraft were
seen. It was evident that the raiders
were prevented from reaching the
London district.

Wave OF Sorrow.

wave Of Sorrow.
Quick upon the wave of sorrow at
the news of the loss of the transport,
came a feeling of distinct relief be-
cause she had met her fate homeward
bound and not on the way over with
troops. The only soldiers on board
were returning to the hospital or on
special assignment. Had the full COM
plement of the transport been aboard
the loss undoubtedly would have been
written in hundreds as she was struck
in the most vulnerable spot and went
under so swiftly that few could have
escaped.
officials are confident that those
who survived owe their lives to the
careful attention given by the navy de-
partment to the eQuipping of trans
ports with lifeboats and life RATS. 1t
is a fixed rule that enough boats and
RATS shall be carried TO afford a place
for every man aboard. even though the
ship keel over and put half her boats
out of commission.
The loss of the ships engineer of
Nfcers indicates the probability that
none of the engine and fireroom forces
on duty escaped. Probably most of
them died in the blast OF the explo-
sion OF the torpedo which tore its way
into the engine room compartments.
Question OF Loss.
The heavy loss 10 the army enlisted

GERMAN TROOPS

ments Meager. Teutons are
Landing Troops on Dago Is
land Near That of Oesel.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

Singularly reticent is the German
war office in its latest official commu-
nicatfSn with regard TO the opera ion
of the German naval forces against
the Russian squadron, which is pre-
sumed to be bottled up in Moon
sound, merely dealing with the naval
battle which resulted in the sinking
of the Russian battleship Slaya. Like
wise, the most recent communication
from Petrograd gives few further de-
| taiIs of the situa atfon.
From this later communication,
however, the fact is cleaned that the
Germans at noon Monday began land
ing troops on Dago island which lies
directly north of Oesel island, after
bombardment that the German ma
val units engaged in the conquest of
the three islands and in attempting
to des roy the Russian fleet comprise
at least 10 of the new dreadnaughts,
about 10 cruisers, not less than 50.tor-
pedo boat destroyers, and between 8
and 10 submarines. In addition. a
large number of trawlers and other
auxiliaries and hydro-airplanes and
other craft are working with the en-
emy.
Torpedo Boats
Two German torpedo boats have
been destroyed while running through
the mine field in Moon sound, accord
ing to a Petrograd dispatch, and two
German trawlers have been sunk by
the fire of the Russian fleet. That the
recognized by the Russians is indicat-
ed by the fact that. although such
Contingency had been reckoned on
previously but not carried out, the
Russian capital is to be moved from
Petrograd TO Moscow in the very near
future. The civil population already
is evacuating Reval, one the principal
Russian ports on the Gulf of Finland.
Artillery in West
Artillery continues the principal
method of warfare in the major thea
terS of war.
The British and French artilleries
are still pounding the German posi-
tions before them in Belgium, with
the Germans answering the fire vigor-
ously at various points, especially
along the Menin road and at Zonne-
beke. Little infantry activity is TAX
ing place, except in the nature of
raids.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 19-While En-
peror William and King Ferdinand o;
Bulgaria have been exchanging assur-
ances at Sofia of the unshakable loyal
ty of Bulgaria and Germany to each
other and of the permanent nature Of
the alliance of the two countries, Bull
! garian agents abroad have been en-
deavoring to get into touch with the
entente powers on the subject of
peace.
Their efforts are declared to be in
spried by apprehension that Germany
and Austria-Hungary particularly the
latter may not be overzealous in de-
Tending Bulgaria's interest at the peace
conference as well as by a desire on
Bulgaria's part to escape from revolv-
ing in an exclusively German orbit af-
ter the war.
Special Desires.
The Associated Press correspondent
is able TO report that Bulgarian rep
resentative recently sought and obtain
ed an opportunity in a neutral Euro
pean capitol to lay before the entente
governments the special desires OF his
country with regard to a peace set
tlement and in a one-sided converse
tion explained Bulgarian aspirations to
regain an Independent political stat

and resume cordial relations with the
entente powers. As the case was pre-
sented. in short. the central Europe
idea of an economic league in which
Bulgaria would play comparatively
minor role does not appeal to the Bull
garian mind.
Austria's Land OHered.
Attempts are also being made to get
before the public in America and in
the entente countries defense of Bull
garian pretensions to Macedonia and
the Dobruja, the suggestion even begni
openly made from the Bulgarian side
that Serbia should be compensated
with Austrian territory from Bosnia
and Herzegovina, a suggestion which
is pointed to as illustrative of the
attitude of many Bulgarians toward
their own alkes.
III Feeling.
The correspondent has of late heard
of considerable i'll feeling between the
Bulgarians and their allies. Com
plants are made that Bulgarian div
sions were compelled TO march long
distances on foot while favored Ger
man troops rolled past them in trains.

troversy is certain German and Aus
trian newspapers in which the Serbian
claims to parts of Macedonia were
defended, apparently has left an in
delible impression of distrust on Bull
garian public opinion, an impression
which the public declarations of the
German minister and the interchanges
of cordial kilograms between German
and Bulgarian statesmen. seem to have
been unable to efface.

GOVERNMENT IS
BUYER OF LARGE
Silver COINAGE
United States Purchases Six
Million Mexican Sill yer
Pesos. Entire Market and
Situation Stabilized.
(By Review Leased Wire.l

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Six mil
lion Mexican silver pesos have been
bought by the treasury at SSA cents
unwarranted by offcials here.
dimes and quarters. The treasury
acted wien faced with the necessity
of buying silver for coinage at steadily
increasing prices which, at their
height. brought the value of the metal
dangerously close TO the minted value.
Now the price of silver in this coun-
try has dropped precipitately. The
swift collapse from S1l6 to So cents
per ounce within three weeks has re-
suited in an investigation to deter
mine whether the market had been
manipulated. The high prices recent
Ily prevailing are regarded as wholly
unwarranted by officials here.
Largest Purchase
The purchase of the great volume OF
Mexican dollars, the largest purchase
by the government of the minted sill
yer coin of another nation ever re-
corded, placed the United States in
possession of a sufficient quantity of
silver to run the mints for two or
three months and withdraws from the
silver market here the largest single
buyer.
Negotiations have been proceeding
between representatives of the Car
rama government and Director Baker
of the mint for some time past for
the big sale 1t is understood that
Mexican dollars are to be delivered
soon, and federal reserve board Off
various phases of the negotiations
have indicated their willingness 10
permit the expectation to Mexico of
approximately s5,OOO,O0O in gold as
payment.
Mexico Lifts Embargo
In return the Carranza government
is understood to have lifted it's vir-
tual embargo on the expectation to
this country of silver and copper, and
that these and other commodities
needed here soon will be crossing the
international line freely.
Needs Gold
Mexico needs the gold badly to in
crease its scanty store of minted gold
coin. The importation by that coun-
try of S5.OOO,O00 for this purpose, it is
assumed. also will tend TO relieve the
difficulties of American operators in
the oil fields there in paying their
heavy burden of taxes, which under
the Mexican law must be paid in Mex
lean .minted gold
Net Result
The net result of the transaction. as
viewed by the officials here, is that
the danger of par silver for mintage
has been averted, and that Mexico will
be in a stronger position financially
than before and the somewhat strain
ed financial relations between the two
countries will be eased perceptibly;
that Mexican copper needed here will
be available soon. The position of
the American government of virtual
embargo on silver contributed to the
sudden lowering of silver prices in the
domestic market. For some time the
government has been compelled to buy
silver sparingly in the face of a soar
ing market to meet its immediate
needs, the heaviest ever known. From
approximately 50 cents an ounce, in
1914. silver quotations went steadily
upward until they touched 80 cents
about two months ago. Thereafter
