the fraternitys, action in calling off the strike would be a return to the conditions which existed before the strike was called. Reulbach said this certainly was a pretty mess"
 Fultz however, does not harbor any such delusions, and said last night he thoroughly understood he Is cut off from all further negotiations with any parties to Organized Baseball. He declined to say whether the fraternity would continue.
 The collapse of the fraternity is in- evitable. Unquestionably the stam- pede of sacred players to get out of the wet had its influence on the fra ternity's action. Without chance to get hearing from either the majors Or minors there ceases to be any req son for the fraternity's existence.
 Did Honorable Act.
 Yet there is no question that Fultz did the honorable thing in hoisting the. white flag. Beaten on every side,

with players deserting and national war imminent, he surrendered every thing to protect the players jobs. Fultz perhaps would resign within the next few days if he could do it gracefully. For some time past he has been wearied with the whole busi- ness and hated to see his name in print. He is working under a three year contract with the fraternity, which called for $4,0O0 last season, $5,000 this season and $6,000 in 1918.
 One of the strange things about the whole affair is that John McGraw, one of the firebrands of baseball, should have acted as the peacemaker McGraw maintains that he acted en- tirely on his own Volition in meeting Fultz, believing tht the good of the game was at stake and that Dave would listen to any reasonable propo- sition.
 Not only does Fultz release major league players from their pledges but minor league players as we'll.

WASHINGTON, Oct. En- making
public to-day an account OF an action
between an American destroyer IN
European matters and German subma-
rine the Navy Department avoided any
claim that the U-boat had been de-
stroyed. although I'll indications point
ed to that result.
The report on which the departments
statement was founded was made by
Vicc-Admiral Sims, in command OF
American destroye-s in the war zone
indicating his belief that a victory had
been scored, but Admiral Benson, chief
Of naval operations, pointed out that the
experience of Grea. Britain and France
in similar cases made it unwise to
place too much confidence in circum-
stantial evidence.
The report showed the efficiency and
skill Of the destroyer crew and drew a
graphic picture OF the pursuit of the
submarine with she'll fre and depth
bombs. Admiral Benson said that in
this and other incidents, which also will
be made public when military reasons
permit, there is every reason TO believe
that the underwater craft was de-
stroyed. He added, however, that the
department would not make claims
which could not be sustained beyond
doubt.

The issue between the Liberty Loan
committee and the management Of the
Equitable Building as to whether the
loan campaign posters should be pasted
on the structure swung yesterday in ia
vor Of the committee after final row
which almost developed into a fist fight
between amateur bllposters and the
superintendent of the building.
In spite Of the fact that the head
quarters of the loan committee and Of
the Federal Reserve Bank are in the
EQUITABLE Building, the management OF
the skyscraper refused TO allow poster
TO be placed upon 1t.
Since then the management and the
committee have been in lively strife,
during which the management has re-
NAMED steadfast in its refusal.
Late Yesterday afternoon officials OF
the Federal Reserve Bank took matters
into their own hands and told the bill
rosters of the committee that as far
as the space in the Equitable Building
which the bank occupied was concerned
they were welcome to place placards.
The volunteers took the officials AT

6 U.Boats Took Part
In Recent Attack on
Convoy, Says Navy
fSiAH Cnrrssnondence

WASHINGTON, Oct. the Navy
Department to-day made public de-
tailed statement Of the attack on
large convoy of foreign merchantmen
made some weeks ago by Meet OF
German II-boats. as reported by the
commander of the armed guard on the
Westwego, one of the ships in the con.
voy. One merchant ship was sunk and
another badly damaged, according 20
the Navy Department, and, 1t IS pc
lieved, one submarine was sunk. Inc
navy statement reads:
zone merchant ship was sunk and
another badly damaged in an attack OF
enemy submarines on a large convoy
OF merchantmen. These were not
American vessels. The exact number
of submarines engaged could not be de-
termincd. but the general belief was
there were six.
"The first intimation Of the attack
which the Westwego received was the
torpedoing of merchantmen some dis
lance away. The propeller and rudder
of this ship were blown away, and
there was a large hole in the stern.
She was afterward towed into port.
at almost the same time. tanker
was struck squarely smidships by tor
pedo. This ship sank rapidly. UP TO
this time no one on the Westwego had
seen a periscope. A destroyer which
had been off the Westwego's starboard
beam turned back and dropped two
depth bombs. Flying debris and oil on
the surface OF the water followed one
Of these explosions.
"This marked the end of the attack.
Various reports from different ships az
to the number Of submarines sighted
were received Immediately after the at
tack. They did not agree, but, as stat
cd, the general belief. after comparing
the different reports, was that there
were six U-boats in the attack.
Less than a half hour later 4 peri
scope appeared within a few yards OF
the side Of the Westwego, and drfted
aGtern. where it quickly disappeared.
N the wake Of the ship. Destroyers
concentrated at the spot, and the peri
scope presently reappeared more than
half mile way. It was visible for
few moments only. The destroyers
continued the search, but nothing more
CT this U-boat was seen"

Marines Held Intact

WASHINGTON. Oct. 6.-The report
tina: marine organizations already IN
France had been split up or that they
might be assigned to provost guard
duty in towns where American troops
are billeted is officially denied by
Major General George Barnett, com
mandant OF the corps.
Stories TO this effect have caused
much uneasiness among members Of
the corps, VINO are very jealous Of their
unusual reputation and who desire TO
have the marines as an integral unit
take part in the first American Of
fensive.
Certainly it is not true" said Cen
eral Barnett "Of course, the duty 70
be performed by any troops rests with
the commanding general, but the
marines have not been broken up as
described. Furthermore, when the next
increment of our boys arrives IN
France they will be brigaded for &C
tive duty as part of the division
under General Sibert."
