SUBMARINE MENACE
STILL VITAL FACTOR
VESSELS BEING SUNK MORE RAP
IDLY THAN THEY CAN BE
BUILT BY ALLIES.
Urgent Need for the United States to
Press Ship Building on a Broad
Scale Emphasized in British
Official Statement.

Iond .)n.-According to statement
issued on September % by the control
Ter of shipping, British shipping losses
since the beginning of the unrestricted
submarine campaign last February
now approximate the total losses be-
fore that period.
The controller of shipping authorized
the publication of the following state
ment of the shipping situation and the
urgent need for the United States to
undertake Workmanship building
program on broad scale:
III is of the utmost Importance that
the United States should realize that
the shortage of shipping is the most
vital fact in the present situation and
the building of merchant ships is of
the utmost Importance.
Question U. S. Must Face.
1.-THE question the United States
must face is whether, on the basis of
the shipbuilding preparations she is
now taking, it will be possible for her
to send any substantial force to France
next spring without such a drain on
the worlds shipping as will subtract
just as much from the fighting
strength of the other allies as her own
forces will add.
However large and powerful the
army which the United States trains
during the winter. it may be rendered
absolutely useless as an addition to the
fighting forces against Germany if
there are no ships to transport it eX-
cept at the cost of stopping the flow
of vital necessities to the present
armies.
1.-THE loss of shipping since the be-
ginning of the ruthless U-hoat war is
now roughly equal to the total losses
prior to that time. By next spring
Germany may be expected to destroy
200 vessels in excess of what are built
in the meantime.
"Next spring this years harvest
will be largely exhausted and the
need of supplying Italy. France and
! Great Britain will be largely increased.
At the same moment the United States
will need n large increase in vessels to
transport its army and maintain it,

London. - Again the Germans have
delivered violent attacks against the
British troops in their newly-won posi-
tions in the vicinity of the Ypres-
Menin roQd and the Polygon wood.
Two sepecate onsaughts were made
on Monday, three hours apart, and both
with huge effectives moving in wave

were repulsed with heavy casualties,
except opposite the southeast corner
of the Polygon wood, where two Brit

In the Verdun sector the French and
Germans are engaged in another ter
rifle duel. Twice the Germans
launched infantry attacks in an effort
to capture positions, but on both DC,
casions they were stopped short by
the French fire.
In the Austro-Italian theatre the
Austrians have delivered several heavy
counter-attacks against the newly-Won
position of the Italians on the Balm
sizza plateau, but everywhere have
met with complete repulse.
Again the Russians, through an at
tack in the Riga region, have forced
the Germans to give ground, this time
for depth from 800 to 1000 yards.
Russian airmen to the south have
dropped large quantities of explosives
on enemy camps situated near koyel.
On the other fronts there is little
activity except in the nature of artil-
lery duels.
A stronghold has been obtained by
the British on Bagdad through the
capture from the Turks of the main
Ottoman position in the region OF
Relnadie.

REGULATING COAL INDUSTRY.
Retailers Margin Limited as Result of
Action of Fuel Administration.

Washington-H.A Garfield, federal
fuel administrator, took three impor-
tant steps in the regulation of the
coal industry on September 80.
The margin allowed retail dealers is
tentatively set at 30 per cent above
the margin they maintained in 1913. In
no case will this margin-the differ
ence between the cost of coal to the
dealer at his yard and the price he
charges the public-be greater than
the margin of this July.
The price of anthracite pea coal at
the Pennsylvania is cut 60 cents u
ton.
The classification of coal from the
small far western fields and the
prices permitted are announced for
the first time. They range from 81 a
ton for Wyoming coal to $3.50 for
that from the state of Washington.

INDIANS USE A GRABHooK
Have Unique Outfit Which They Use
In Fishing for salmon-PoIes
Are Twenty Feet Long.

The Indians fish for salmon with O
"grab-hook," a large iron hook fas-
tened to pole by loose cord three
or four feet long. A hole at the blunt
end of the hook that slips over the
tip of the pole keeps it In place until
the fish is hooked. Then the hook Is
pulled off the pole and the cord gives
the fisherman a chance to play his
fish If necessary before dragging it
ashore, says the Southern Workman.
The hooks are made by the black
smith, but the poles, about 20 feet in
length, the Indians make them
selves of red fir. Taking rough
piece Of dry wood Of the required
length, they patiently work at it with
drawshaye and knife until 1t Is the
right size and tapering to suit the
workman. Then it Is usually hard
ened in the Goals before putting on the
cord, which they braid themselves.
II pole breaks, as often hap
pens, the broken parts are dashed
together with string, pitch is smeared
over and melted by being rubbed with
a hot stone, which makes the pole as
strong as before. The Indians gen
orally fish from the bank or from
platforms built over the water. They
thrust the long pole out across the
river as far as they can and lei. the
current carry it down and into the
bank, trusting to chance and quick
jerk to hook the fish If they feel one
in the. water.

ANOTHER SUBMARINE
 FOR OUR DES7R0YERS
Gunners From American Ship Get Good Crack at
 Undersea Craft.

Washington. Nov. 24-Definite news Of the destruction of another German submarine by American destroyers reached the navy department today in a cabled report from Vice Admiral Sims. The submarine, damaged by a depth bomb, went down with all on board after destroyer had attached a line and was attem pting to take her in tow.
 Secretary Daniels announced the re- port in this statement:
 'Despatches received from Admiral Sims states that a German JT-boat has been accounted for by American de- stroyers operating in European waters While on patrol duty destroyer sighted a periscope four hundred yards off. Immediately ringing full speed ahead, the commanding officer headed his craft to pass a few yards ahead of the submarine. As the de- stroyer passed over the U-boat's course. a depth charge was dropped This evidently caused damage to the U-boat which shortly afterward preached (came to the surface) about 500 yards away.
 Fire was immediately opened on the submarine by two of our destroy ers which circled about their target.
 The submarine did not return the fire, and was evidently disabled. One of the destroyers got line to her, in- tending to tow her, but the boat soon sank"
 Two dcstroyers took part in the ac- tion.. One, sighting a periscope at four hundred yards. headed for it and dropped a deadly depth bomb. Soon afterwards the submarine came to the surface with no sight of life aboard. The second destroyer steamed Up and attached a line, but the T-boat. appar- ently shattered by the bomb, went to the bottom.
