nancial Strength

Jacob II. Schiff. head Of the banking
firm of Kuhn. Loeb & Co. and member
Of the Liberty Loan Committee, told
several hundred members OF the Bond
Club Of New York at dinner at the
Hotel McAlpin last night that il New
York had not led the way in arousing
enthusiasm the success of the Second
Liberty Loan probably would not have
been as great as the official subscrip-
tion figures now indicate. This result,
he said had been achieved in the face
of "the wild. demagogic utterances Of
a leading public man, scarcely a week
ago, imputing to the New York bank
ing community the bssest intrigues
against the success OF the Second Lib
erty Loan-an accusation which the ut
terer, for his own good, found it well
to very promptly withdraw
The Liberty Loan campaign just
closed, Mr.. Schiff said, emphasized for
the American people the great inherent
and economic strength Of their coun-
try, of which until recently they had
only a limited conception. How far the

day in railway circles as the result Of
the proposed wage demands. Two
weeks ago the Brotherhood OF Railway
Trainmen formulated demands which
would make SIS day the minimum
wage for switchmen. Yesterday the
Switchmen's Union CT North America
drew up a schedule calling for bl
per cent advance.
The switchmen say their wage scale
Of $3.50 10 81 a day is approximate ~
the same as seven years ago, except Tor
the reduction in the hours brought
about by the passage Of the Adamsor
law.
The Switchmen's Union OF North
America. which claims a membership
Of 10000, is distinct from the switch
men who are members of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen. Several
days ago members Of the latter organi-
zation voted to ask for minimum
scale, ranging from s. a day for help
ers 10 $3.50 for night foren1en.
Wages were advanced and hours pei
Gay and days per month were reduced
by the board of arbitration which re-
ported to-day on the demands made by
telegraphers of the Chicago, Rock ISL
and & Pacific Railway system. The
road will have TO spend Sl7,0OO add

U.Boat Before She
Was Torpedoed
Survivor Brings Story of
Encounters; French Army
Instructors Arrive

AN ATLANTIC PORT, oct. 3i.-If
every American freighter lost in the
war zone was able to do what the tor
nedoed Lewis Luckenbach did on Octo-
Der II the seas would soon be free OF
U-boats. This conviction was brought
TO port by Richard Dunphy. third ofn-
Ger OF the lost freighter, who was
passenger on a French liner that ar
rived to-day from France. Dunphy,
who comes from Brockton, Mass, said
the guns from the Luckenbach destroyed
a submarine at 3 p. m. on OCTOBER IL ana
that three hours later the ship was sur.
prised in the darkness, torpedoed ana
sunk in heavy sea, which swampen
one Of the lifeboats containing Cap
tain ". J. Watkins. j. K. Mcneil, one
of the navy gunners. the French p1.ot
and seven members Of the crew. Inc
loss of these men was confirmed to-day
By the Navy Department.
Dunphy expressed surprise that no
news lad been received in this country
relative to the sinking Of the supma-
rine by the Luckenbach,. =,
"There is no doubt that we got the
frat submarine" said Dunphy: The
naval officers in France knew all ABOUT
IL. ard the destruction of the U-boat
was conceded. The German came to
the surfac, dead ahead. Our skipper
immediately put the Luckenbach to
port and a 5-inch gun on our stern
smashed the submersble between her
two periscopes II was clean shot.
She went down too quickly FOR ordinary
submerging. Air bubbles, oil and
splinters covered the water. and just TO
make sure Of the destruction Captain
Watkins drove our ship right over
where she had gone under. At p. m.
the same day another submarine got
US. We did not see her until her tor
pedo hit us amidships."
Also on the French liner which ar
rived to-day were forty officers and
men from the French army, who have
been sent here rs instructors at the
American training camps.
Among the travellers were Com
n.ander J. Lindcboom. Of the French
navy; Miss Julia {. Hicks. Marion Has
seltine and Miss Harriet Liyermoorc,
Red Cross nurses, who have come home
on leave; and the Prince and Princess
Engaltchef. The prince, who was
formerly Russian vice-consul at Chi
cago, recently married the widow of a
French army officer.
A concert held aboard ship three
days ago brought a contribution Of
$4,000 for the benefit of French
wounded.

China Protests Against
Japan Extending Rule
Opposes Civil Administration
Along Shantung Railway,
Captured From Germans

PEKING, Oct. 3l.-China has pro
tested against the extension OF the Jap
anese civil administration along the
railway on the Shantung Peninsula
between Tsing-Tau and Tsinan-Fu,
captured from the Germans.
On October Japan established DR..
Akiyami as chief civil administrator
at Using Tau, and by decree extended
his authority along the railway. The
japanese civil administration, accord
ing to this decree, is still subservient
TO the military administration under
General Hongo at TsingTau.
China holds that Japanese consuls
should administer japanese civil affairs
along the railway.
The Chinese newspapers generally
insist that Japan should leave Shan
tung entirely.
