AMERICAN DESTROYER SUNK
BY ENEMY SUBMARINE

Washington, December 8. Three
officers and 70 men were believed to-
night to have gone down with the
American destroyer, Jacob Jones, tor
pedoed and sunk in the war zone by a
German submarine at 8 o'clock last
Thursday night.
Vice Admiral Sims, up to late
hour, had been able to supply only
meager details in reply to urgent
messages from Secretary Daniels,
whose brother-in-law, Lieut.. Com
mande1'Dayid W. Bagley, commanded
the lost vessel, and was reported
among the missing. Three officers
and 81 men were picked up by other
vessels from life RATS to which they
chung, but the names of only 10 Of
these had been transmitted to Wash
ington.
The Jacob Jones, one Of the larg-
est and newest of American subma-
rine chasers of her type operating in
the Atlantic, was the first American
warship to fall victim to German
submarine, but was the second Am
erican destroyer to be lost in foreign
waters. The Chauncey sank with her
commander, Lieut.. Commander Wal
ter E. Reno, two other officers and IL
enlisted men, after being cut in two

LIVE STOCK SHIPMENTS
ARE NOW STABILIZED

Washington, D. c., December To-
Beginning Monday December 10, all
shipments of live stock into the Chi
tcago market will be stabilized in ac-
cordance with a plan recently sug-
gested by the Railroads War Board.
This plan, which also tends to stabil-
ize prices, was adopted at a confer
ence of representatives of the Chicago
Car Service Committee of the Rail-
roads War Board, the Federal Food
Administration, growers and shippers
of live stock. commission men and
packing interests.
Under the old plan which allowed
unrestricted shipments of live stock,
heavy consignments of cattle would
arrive in Chicago on one or two days
of the week and light consignments
during the remainder. To avoid all
the undesirable results of this Gus
tom, what is called the "zone system"
of regulating shipments was evolved,
and will govern all shipments on and
after December 10.
Under this plan, within a zone of
approximately 300 miles of Chicago,
live stock will be received for ship
ment to reach the Chicago market
only on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or
within the second zone be-
yond 300 miles from Chicago and up
to the So hour limit for shipments Of
i've stock, shipments will be received
10 reach the Chicago market on Mon !
lay, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday;
he third zone embraces all territory
outside the 36 hour limit from Chica-
20, and from this zone Shipments of /
i've stock NAV be made at any time to
each the Chicago market on any
week day.
1t is probable that this system of |
itabilizing shipments and prices Of
i've stock will be extended with nee
,ssary modification to all the big
i've stock markets in the country.

that Americas assistance will be used
by her European associates for the
very opposite of the reason that in
duced her to go to war. The British
saw they will not give up the German
colonies that they have seized. The
French say that Alsace-Lorraine must
be taken away from Germany by
force. The Italians say that they
must have considerable portions of
Austria which they had not pretended
to claim during the long period of
their alliance with Austria, and which
they began to claim only after Aus
tria was involved in war and was ap-
parently approaching defeat at Rus
sias hands. This war, as we have
so often stated, is the climax of the
mad imperial rivalries of the Euro
pean powers. 1t would be a shock
ing thing if Americas enormous sac
rifices in entering the war were to be
used chiefly in assisting several of
these European empires to enlarge
their holdings and consolidate their
positions. The thing that is wrong
is the system itself America did not
go into the war to help one set of en-
pires dominate the world more Sc
curely by crushing their rivals.
These remarks. if somewhat rudely
frank, says the Review of Reviews,
are made from a sense of duty in
view of the tone in which many news
papers in Allied countries, and not
Jew in the United States, made haste

JUS alarm, the noble and beneficent
peace address issued from the vati-
