U-B0AT'S DESTRUCTION
NOT ACTUALLY CERTAIN

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIssl
Washington, Oct 6.-In making
public today an account of an action
between an American destroyer In
European waters and a German sub
marine, the navy department avoided
any claim the U-boat had been de-
stroyed, although all Indications
pointed to that result. The report on
which the departments statement was
founded was made by Vice Admiral
Sims, in command of American de-
stroyers in the war zone, indicating
his belief n victory had been scored,
but Admiral Benson. chief Of naval
operations, pointed out that the ex-
perience of Great Britain and France
in similar cases made il unwise to
place too much confidence in circum-
stantial evidence.
The allied powers have found that
German submarine commanders at
tempt to create the impression their
craft have been destroyed and thus
terminate the pursuit. There have
been cases where destroyers have
dropped depth bombs and oil has
come up, indicating a hit. The as
sumption is the oil was released to dI-
vert attention while the boat crept
away.

they listened attentively while the

New York, Oct. 6.-Exposures by the
state department of Bolo Pasha's
activities in this country resulted to-
day in a reopening here Of the state
attorney generals inquiry into the
Vaccinations of the spy with former
Ambassador Won Bernstorff to bring
about a separate peace between Ger
many and France early in 1916.
After additional testimony had
been given by Adolph Pavenstedt, a
recalled witness, Alfred Becker, depu-
ty attorney general, left for Washing
ton to place before the French am
bassador the disclosures resulting
from the inquiry in this state. This
evidence will be sent to the French
military authorities in Paris early
next week, to be used at the trial of
Bolo, now under arrest.
While the state investigators re-
garded their inquiry as virtually COM
pleted, since they have accomplished
what the French government asked,
il is thought certain the federal gov
ernment, with the disclosures made
here in its possession, will be able to
make further revelations Of German
intrigue in this country. Iquiry into
Bolo Pasha's financial transactions
here will be continued.

U-bOATS LOSING
TERROR; RATE Of
INSURANCE IS GUT
It Is Believed Methods Have
Been Found for Minimizing
Dangers From Submarine
FrightfuIneSS.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Reduction Of
nearly 25 per cent in premiums for
insurance Of American vessels and
cargoes traversng the war zone, was
announced today by the governments s
war risk insurance bureau.
The reduction was made, it was
officially announced, because of de
creased risks. Unofficially 1t was re =.
garded as the governments expires
sion of its experience, In dollars and
cents, that the U-boats have pa ssed
the zenith of their campaign of
frightfulness.
Announcement Of the reduction was
made by the treasury department as
follows:
''The secretary of the treasury to-
day announced that the bureau of
war risk insurance has reduced its
rates on all American steamers and
cargoes traversing the war zone from
S1s to per cent.
This reduction is made because Of
the corresponding decrease in the
risks"
Determination of the war risk pre-.
MUM Is based primarily on the mum.
ber Of vessels traversing the war 2one
and the number of sinkings. Tho eff.
fectiveness of methods used in com.
batting submarines also enters into
consideration.
From the announcement it is re-
garded as apparent that officials be-
lieve effective methods have been
adopted to deal with the U-boats.
Todays announcement marks the
first reduction in any government in
surance risk to any water infested by
submarines. Heretofore reviGons
have all been upward.
Steady diminution in the number OF
weekly sinkings since September 2, is
primarily responsible for the decrease
in rates announced today.

British Front in France and Bel
GUM, Oct. s (by the Associated Press).
The Germans attempted no coun-
ter attacks of Importance along the
new battle front during the night and
spell after the arduous work of the
last two days. The artillery, OF course,
maintained lis ceaseless firing at vari-
Gus points.
A cold, drizzling rain was falling
this morning, adding still more to the
discomforts of the men lying out in
the mud and water in this inhospit-
able zone. At some places along the
line the Germans found themselves in
such exposed positions as a result of

ported to have pulled their defenses
back a short distance to. more favor

Crushed by Barrage Fire. ht5
The prisoners already county num-
Der more than 1000. Many of the
enemy's losses were suffered when
at least five divisions OF troops which
had been massed for pretentious at
tack were caught In the British ar
tillery barrage and crushed in its over
whelming sweep.
Not only were thousands of men
wiped out, but the we'll defined plan
of the German high command for an
attack was utterly disrupted.
The collapse of this scheme, the
extensive defeat inflicted by the Brit
ish and heavy toll in the German
ranks are things which it is difficult
to explain to an army which has al
ready shown marked signs Of deter
ioration in morale.
The diminution in the fighting spirit
of the German troops along the Ypres
battle front Is generally admitted by
prisoners and has been evidenced in
the tactics employed recently. One
German officer said that the worst ef-
feet on the morale of the ,iermans
was occasioned by the British artil-
lery fire, which he characterized as
too terrific for words.
Organization Lacking.
The manner in which the German
command conducted the defense or
Thursday is significant In accord
ance with their custom they threw in
various units promiscuously along the
whole battle front in an attempt TO
stem the advance, but striking fear
tire was the mixture OF the units, the
lack of cohesion between them and
the confusion arising as consa-
quence. This tends to indicate lack
of organization. 40
The artillery work OF the Germans
also gave evidence of imperfectly laid
plans. The fire was weak and scat
tered throughout the day.
The British morale and organiza-
ton, on the other hand. have never
been at higher pitch than at present.
On every side one hears the comment:
when spring comes and the
Americans are in the line with the al
lies, nothing can hold us back

Big gun actions are in progress
along the Flanders front with indica-
tions that the Germans. as usual in
this form of combat, are playing the
secondary role.
Field Marshal Haig's report on Fri
day nights activities mentions only
the increased fire from German ar
tillery, Press reports, however, show
that the Germans are suffering heav-
lily from the effectiveness of the Brit
ish artillery fire. Some of the ad-
vanced positions to which they were
still clinging after Thursdays attack
have become too hot to hold and
British reconnoitering parties are
finding them evacuated.
Gun Fire Terrific.
The overwhelming nature of the
British fire employed in the present
offensive is being paid tribute to by
the Germans, it is noted, by the inven-
ton Of a new term to describe the
bombardment 1t is no longer drum
fire" nor even ''whirlwind fire." that
is spoken of, but hurricane fire."
1t is fire of this sort or measurably
near it, that is preventing the German
counter-attacks from being launched
as promptly or proving as effective as
they formerly were.
Russian internal affairs still claim
precedence in interest over happen
ings along the Russian front. The
