SURVIVORS OF
 LOST ANTILLES
 LAND IN FRANCE Y ,- x
Gun Crew Heroically Stuck at Their Posts Until Ship
 Sank.

A French Port. Oct. 22-Survivors of the United States transport Antilles, which was sunk by German sub marine last week while being con- voyed on her 'homeward trip by American warships, were landed here yesterday by auxiliary vessels and are being cared for by the American Con- sulate. Some of the men have been lodged in local hotels and a few have left for Paris.
 The torpedo struck the ship at 6:45 o'clock on Wednesday morning. Many of those on board were killed in their berths and others while dressing. The explosion killed the engineers, oilers and mechanics and those of the crew who were in their hunks below.
 All the survivors praise the captain of the Antilles and the members of the gun crew, who stuck to their posts while the officers searched with field glasses for, the submarine until the waves closed over the ship. When the Antilles sank 40 or 50 men were at the stern. Most of them leaped 50 feet or more into the sea as the stern rose to perpendicular position, and some were drawn down by the sinking vessel.
 The submarine was not sighted either before or after the explosion The sea was running high at the time making 1t difficult to save the crew and passengers. Some survivors clinging to debris, were in the watel

It Is expected the men will be entrained this week for active training tn southern camps.
 The boys arrived in the city Satur- day night and were given a hearty welcome, the ftheaters and other places of amusement being thrown open to them, The majority, how ever, made a bee-line from the sta tion to their homes to enjoy the first homemade meal since the time they left in civilian clothing.
 A crowd of several hundred per- sons was at the station last night, but unlike the eventfu1 days of August 20 and September 20, all was 5elhty in- stead of sadness. Each of the lads carried a bundle containing home- made goodies

TEDDY ROOSEVELT
 ADVISES J. KING

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who has been in training for some time at the health camp of Jack Cooper in Stamford, broke training long enough yesterday to talk with the newspaper men who were besieging the camp and to make arrangements with Mayer John P. Mitchell of New York to make a number of campaign speeches in Mitchei's behalf. The Colonel is in fine shape and intends to leave for his home in.la few days.
 Incidentally he had another visitor. The political situation has evidently become so precarieus here that it was deemed necessary to get the Colo nel's advice and enlist his help if pes- sible. At any rate John T. King went down to Stamford yesterday and had a conference with err. R." The re- suit of his talk will probably be made known later on.

PROBLEMS AFTER
 WAR FOR BRITAIN

Bond6n, Oct, 22.-s'After the war Great Britain will have to face a com petitive struggle unique in history" writes the editor of the British En- gineering RevieW in his annual discus- sion of trade conditions. Germany and the United States he points out as the most formidable competitors of England in the after-war trade rival ry, saying:
 "On the one side Germany, well equipped, highly organized. forced by defeat and debt to desperate exer- tions, spurred by poverty to accept small profits anything to regain her markets and her ruined credit Un- scrupulous and srasping methods will be backed by the German government and financed as never before. Ger many has only to pick up the broken threads of foreign connections to sup plement the home demands and thus secure the output necessary fully to occupy her large specialized mechan- ical equipment
 "On the other side we shall find the United States, better equipped and staffed than any other industrial with the highest credit, and a big home market, and other conditions essential to lew-c6st production.
 Great Britains distorted indus tries. fianked by abnormal power and starved desperation, demand. first ea all definite and powerful government protection. Unless this can be seeur> ed her industrial leaders will have little encouragement to undertaka z programme of improvement and re. form necessary to put her on eaua fighting terms with America and Ger, many. There is evidence that thil will be insisted upon and secured.''

 America.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 22.-A nation al league, the purpose of which IS to organize the 100000 of persons in the United States who are directly in terested in the musical life of the country, was launched here today. Announcement of the aims and scope of the league was made by John c. Freund, of New York, at a meeting of the City club.
 Do you realize" said MT. Freund, .that there are in this country today, at modest calculation, over 2,000.- 900 people resourceful, Intelligent, cultured, who are earning a living in the musical world or in the musical industries?, This country spends on music and for musical instruments the astounding sum of $500. .0o0. 900 year.

EMPIRE DREAM
 MAS SHATTERED
 BY CONSTANTINE
Refused Offer of Allies to Make Greece Dominant
 in the Near East.

Athens, Oct. 22.-A dream of em- Dire which would have made Greece a ruling power in Asia Minor along the route to the Orient came very near being realized at the opening of the war I'm Europe. This has just been brought out with official exactness in the mass of diplomatic documents laid before parliament, and in state r,enfs by Premfef " enizelcss and the Minister Of Foreign Affafrs M. Poli- <in Referring to the territorial con- sessions which Greece could have ac- quired at that time, M. venizeios said:
 IT had succeeded in obtaining the recognition of the rights of Hellenism over Western Asia Minor. And can say without exaggeration that the day I received the communication of Sir Edward Grey speaking of very, important territorial concessions on 4ha coast of Asia Minor, was a day of re1ofcing as keen as that when the treaty of Bucharest was signed, giv- Ing us Saionilxi, Macedonia and new Greece
 TT who had known how small and feeble Greece was only three or four yeers ago. saw the stupefying bound she was about to make. This little Greece had now succeeded in occupy Ing e place equal to that of the great powers in the settlement of the fate of Turkey which had been the apple of discord between the European pow er1'
 But as Asia Minor was a field of German ambition and hope. M. veni- xelos said he found himself opposed mot only by the then King Constan- time, but also by the army general @taff. which. he declared, "served "a policy purely Germanic."s And with this opposition, backed by the king, the opportunity held out to Greece to become great power in Asia was finally 1ost

After lengthy discussion, M. Politis ssid. a double convention was con cludcd- But at this point the army staff intervened and succeeded in de. feef<ng the plan.
 While these large territorial plans came to nothing. yet their definite. ness indicates they may again be heard from when the final adjust ment of the war takes place, fol Greece is not unlikely to have ths same aspirations toward entering Asis Minor, and the western powers tn, 8Rme willingness they have alread, shown to give Greece a foothold or thin route to the Orient.

They arrived in New Britain at 3:30 D. m. and were forced to leave this morning for Hart ford at ? o'clock in order to catch, Il train for the metropolis which would land them there at the time on which they were supposed to report.
 Both young men are members of the Naval Reserve and now stationed in Brooklyn. Since being called into service they have been in France, re- gently arriving in this country on the return from a trip overseas. They spent ten days in France. In speak ing of their trip they stated that they encountered no submarines either go- ing or coming. The trip across was made in 12 days and the return voy- age in 10 days.
 They are unanimous in condemning the food which was served to them on the trip and state that the edibles which they receive now are no bet ter.

SENT RACK TO CAMP.

Acting on the request of the mill itary authorities, the following local men who came home for the weekend from Fort Totten, Long Island, with out leave, were taken into custody yes- terday by the local police: James Griffin, James Rouilliard, John Smith, John Suess, Frank Forcell, Clifford Anderson, Everett Lacelle. These men were members of Company E before it was merged into the second regiment. Several of the men donned their ci- william uniforms on their arrival in this city which is an offense punishable in wartime but it is probable that a rep rimand will be the penalty.
