SOLDIERS Debt BILL
HINDERED in SENATE
Measure Which Protects Fighters
From Debts Meets Opposition.

The soldiers and sailors civil rights
bill, which would prevent American
fighting men from being sued for
debt. met with fierce opposition yes
terday. Senator Reed, of Missouri
even declared that it would ruin the
credit of the men, because merchants
would realize they could not collect
their debts. Objection was made to
the bill by Senator Brandegee, of
Connecticut, because he thought its
insurance sections defective.
Secretary of War baker, however.
appeared as champion of the meas
ure. He wished the Senate Judiciary
subcommittee, before whom a hear
ing was held, to urge the bill for
passage by Congress.
This measure will place our SOL
diers. who in a short time will be in
France in large numbers, in a posi-
ton where they can be relieved of
anxiety as far as their families are
concerned. Men who owe money, and
who may be pressed for it while
they are at the front, cannot be ex-
pected to have the same freedom of
mind as they would have il they
knew they would be protected until
the war was over.

that the steel men showed a sn. :
desire to cooperate with the govern
Inent in increasing production and
charging a reasonable price.
One of the big factors in fixing the
price. it is stated. is the matter OF
wages. Steel workers are paid on a
sliding scale and have received in
creases within the last six months of
approximately 10 per cent. With a re-
duction in the price of steel, unless the
President specifically makes some pro-
vision, the workmen will suffer Sc

London. Sept. 22.-In a swift, sud
den drive the Germans today cut a
gap twenty-five miles wide and six
miles deep into the Russian Dwins
line at Jacobstadt. seventy-iive miles
southeast of Riga. They captured
the town and took more than 40
prisoners and fifty guns. As at RIGA,
the blow staegered the Muscovites,
who. according to official Petrograd
admission. fed across the Dwina.
simultaneously the Teutons attacked
on the Riga front in the direction OF
Sissegal. forty miles northeast of the
Baltic port. Here, however, they were
beaten eff by the Russian advanced
guards who yaliantly defended and
held every foot of ground.
But the situation created by the

UBCAMPAIGN
LOSES Terror
Admiral Benson, Chief Of
Operations, Deprecates
Hun Operations.

Germany's submarine campaign
has lost it's frightfulness. so far as
the movement of troops and sup
plies from the United States to Eu-
rope are concerned. This is ac-
counted for mainly by the employ
mcnt of these four things:
Observation balloons on trans
ports and other vessels.
Smoke bombs.
Perfect system of conveying
ships.
Arming vessels and manning them
with competent crews.
Admiral Benson, chief of opera
tions. last night strongly indicated
that great fear of the Teutonic un-
dersea boats had been dissipatcd.
Continual crossing OF the Atlantic
by troopships, passenger vessels
and others has demonstrated that
the German subsea terror will not
attack when the steamships are
well conveyed. He said that the
Germans had extended their opera
tions so that now the submarines
had been reported as far out as the
thirtieth meridian, Oft the Azores.
or approximately half way across
the ocean. But practically none of
them will approach n conveyed ves-
sci and the possibility of any at
tack on this country was put at
minimum.
German Increase Fruitless.
: Germany has been increasing her
submarines, both in numbers and size,
| but the lie part tment has not +.' any
definite information that there is any
| considerable number of the supposed
| Dreadnought U-boats of 400 or 500 feet
| in length. In none of the engage
ments has there been reported any
submarine of remarkable size. al
| though the Navy Department considers
| it perfectly logical that the length
| of these vessels naturally will in
crease with their popularity.
But the attacks on trans. tlantic
ships has dropped off. The smoke
bomb has been a big feature in le-
terring the attacks. But Admiral Ben
son gave the opinion that the great
est and most effective deterrent of
all were the system of conveying
| and the fact that nearly every ves-
sci today is armed and manned with
| an excellent gun crew. III edition
! the captive observation balloon is now
carried on most of the vessels. b.
means of these, the snip may keep
an excellent watch for the subsea
/ terror. Submarines may be seen as
| far as fifty feet below the surface
+ of the ocean, and the balloon crows
nest has been unusually effective not
only in discerning the submarines but
! also in directing the firing.
Admiral Benson said the department
! had no definite information of the
number of submarines that had been
sunk by United States ships; none
/ has been captured. 1t was reported
yesterday that five British merchant
vessels and two submarines had been
sunk in a battle in which the subma-
rines attacked in force. No advices
to this effect have come to the de-
partment. The only knowledge it has
| of a mass attack of submarines was
upon a fleet going into Dunkirk. 1t
was doubted that there would be any
value in such a move as the armed
merchant vessels undoubtedly would
be able to sink several of the U-boats.
Two or three merchant ships for a
submarine would be given up gladly
| by the allies.
