GREAT LOSSES OF SUBMARINES
 IS INDICATED
(Associated PressJ

LONDON, Nov. 1.-Be- tween forty and fifty per cent of the German subma- rines operating in the North sea and the Atlantic ocean have either been destroyed or captured by the allied and American naval forces since the beginning of the war, ac- cording to Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the British ad- miralty.
 In a speech in the house of commons today Lord Geddes stated that the number cap tured was far greater than is commonly supposed by the laylnen and that only by ut1- lizlng her entire shipbuilding industry in turning out sub marines has Germany been able to maintain her under sea campaign as long as she has. He declared it was un- wise to make public all the devices used to combat the U-boats, but that the cam paign against them has been uniformly successful. A mum Der of German submarines are now held captive in diff ferent English ports and a much greater number have been destroyed by the destroy CT fleets, first of England and France and later by the American flotillas now in Flu rOpean waters.

MORE SAMMIES GO TO FRENCH
 BATTLE LlINES

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, Nov. 1.-The first contingent ol American troops who took their places in the trenches on the battlefront were to- day relieved from duty by or ders of the French command CTS and their places taken by fresh American soldiers. The French officers are loud in their praise of the conduct of the Sammies, whom they declare to be the equal of any fighting men in the history of the world. During the short time they have been in the trenches the Americans are said to have handled themselves like veterans and justified the claims of their commanders that they are en- tirely ready for duty.
 Fresh gunners and assist ants were assigned to the Am erican batteries and have al ready resumed the artillery bombardment of the German trenches.
 The troops who were re lieved were saturated in mud from head to foot, Their clothing was one mass of mud cakes. They were taken to a temporary camp in the rear of the trenches out of the fire zone and given gasoline baths. Their clothes were next dried and cleaned, and after few days of com plete rest and relaxation they will be sent into the trenches again for the final touches to their preliminary training.

New York Exchange
 Weakest In Years
AAssnclated Iresst

tAssoCIated fTessI
 NEW YORK, Nov. In the face Of the recent active bear raids. practically all listed stocks on the New York exchange have dropped to points lower than any n the last twenty or thirty years. The raids are the bitter est ln the history of the local exchange.
 Tonight the board of goyer- nors took steps to stop the VI clous short selling which has been responsible for the disas- trous results. Owing to the fact that the raids have been Inau- gurated since the beginning ot the present Italian reyerSes. it IS believed that Il is the work ot German agents and pro-Germans, who, acting under the instruc- tions of the German government, are seeking to discourage Am ericans There is said to be no real reason for a decline in any stock.

 Nov. l.-Licensc restrictions were this morning imposed upon the nation $ manutaCtur- CTS and distributors of staple food commodities in an et- fort to eliminate protlteerlng abuses.

 PETROGRAD, Nov. 1.-The gov elnment forces won a complete vic tory in the Russian elections held throughout the country today, when the non partisan Conservative Social lsts won sweeping victories over the radical Bolsheviki candidates in the municipal elections held in most Russian cities.

 The Bolshevikis have been threat ening to start a civil war to force the present government out of power and set up a regime of their own They have openly accused Premier kerensky of treachery and sought to oust him from his position.

V0l1 HERTLINS
 NOT PLEASING
 TO DEMOCRATS
lAssnciAtel lrNsAl

LONDON, Nov. 1.-OW- ing to the attitude of the leaders of the German reich stag, it is said to be doubtful whether Non EIcrtIing, the man selected by the kaiser as the new imperial chanccI- Tor of Germany, will retain his position. Dispatches re Ceived here today from Am sterdam declare that he was rejected by them as chancci- Tor. It is evident that these dispatches were written be fore the announcement of his appointment was made yes terday, but after he had been offered the place.
 The reason for the opposi- ton of the reichstag leaders is said to be tWofold. He is known to be reactionary Of the deepest type. On several occasions he has declared him self as opposed to any demo- cratic parliamentary system, even such a one as represent ed by the reichstag itself. This one stand of his has made him greatly objection able to the majority o1 the reichstag, and they have Vio- lently opposed his selection.
 The other reason for his opposition is the fact that he has announced himself as be ing opposed to the recent res olution passed by the reich stag declaring in favor of peace without any anneNa- tion of territory by any of the warning powers. From the tenor of the dispatches re ceived it is apparent that Won Hertling was appointed with out consulting the wishes of the reichstag majority.
