Save For War Bonds.

A war loan association has been
formed by the school of commerce OF
New York University to preach and
practice the doctrine that the only
way to raise money for the prosecu-
ton of the war Is through saving.
Prof. Gerstenberg, of the university,
says the sooner we come to a realiza-
tion of this the better 1t will be for
the nation, and that the university
loan association plans to accept sub
scriptions OF any amount down to 10
cents for the loans which the Govern
ment may put out. This offer IL prt
marily for the students. but efforts
will be made by the association and
by the students to assist in the sale
OF bonds to the outside public. The
idea is a good one, and 1t doubtless
will attract favorable attention IN
banking quarters, where every EFFORT
is to be made to handle subscriptions
to the loans without commissions or
profits OF any sort.

pounds more copper in March than in

that with better weather copper pro-
duction is likely to be heavier. Forty

$4,000. 900 For Floating.

In deciding to make convertible
the 8 per cent bonds authorized re-
Gently for various internal improve
ments and the purposes Of national
defense, the members OF the Ways
and Means Committee were actuated
by practical motives. 1t would be
impossible, they conceded, to sell 3
per cent bonds following the Issue of
seven billions of bonds and certif-
Gates Of indebtedness at an interest
rate OF 3h per cent
The last section of the bill pro-
vIdes that one-fifth OF 1 per cent of
the bonds authorized and one-tenth
OF / per cent of the certificates OF IN
debtedness, shall be available fof the
expenses Of the bond issue. This
amount In itself Is large and amounts
to twelve million dollars. The float.

inclusive OF every expense incident
thereto, will represent q cost almost
equal to that OF a battleship.

MOVING AGAINST REVOLT
Provisional Government Arrests
V. N. Lvoff Who Brought
Ultimatum
INTO CIVIL WAR

Russia seems to be plunging in
to a civil war. News seems to
show Russia going from bad to
worse. In Petrograd, the provis-
lonal government, with the Social
lists, now constituting the domin-
ant, if not the sole element, still
controls the situation.
On the other hand, General
Koniloff, has a formidable array
on his side.
Through a Swedish source to-
day it was said a report that Pre-
mier kercnsky had been assassin
atcd by a member of Bolsheviki,
the extreme radical element, but
there is no confirmation of the re-
port, and Petrograd adviccs con-
tinue to mention the Prcmicr's
activities. *
Meanwhile the Russian south of
Bukowina have begun an offensive
against the Austro-German lines.
Berlin, which reports this move
ment, says the Russians obtained
only local advantages.
A Russian message received here
this afternoon and signed by the Rus
sian prime minister states that the
entire Baltic fleet, together with the
staff officers, have unanimously placed
itself on the side Of the provisional
government. .Hss i,y-Sr - gssI ~ <ttSH .,...

Washington, Sept. 11.-American
destroyers are believed to have sunk
six hostile submarines off the coast
Of France, Sept. 5, while conveying a
fleet of merchantmen from the United
States. Two ships were lost, but 1t
is reported without the loss OF life.
Meagre reports to the navy depart
ment today giving a brief account OF
the fight were transmitted from the
United States tank steamer Westego.
one of the ships which survived the
Ittack.
No Details Of Fighting. :
The merchant fleet of which the
Westego was, one,r was en- route to
Europe, from the United States, when
attacked. The vessels were under
convoy, but no details of the hght-
ing we're included in the report re-
ceived. No loss of lives were report,
ed nor were the names Of the two
ships sunk included in the dispatch.
It. is not even. known whether they
were American ships or not. The
aavy department has cabled for fur
her information.
Following is the navy departments
statement:
"The navy department has recciv-
ed reports from Paris which state
that the steamer Westeg0 reports on
Sept. 5 that while cruising with sew
eral other ships, they were attacked
by six submarines, off the coast OF
France, Sept. 5, the result Of this at
tack being that two of the steamers
attacked were sunk and probably all
Tho submarines were lost
While this does not actually state
hat American destroyers were con-
voying the ships, it is believed to be
the fact.
1t was announced recently that a
policy of conveying fleets of merchant
ships across the Atlantic had been
adopted, and since the Westego and
the other merchant craft, which were
the objects of the submarines attack,
were bound for Europe, it IS regard
ed more than probable that American
warships guarded them.
American warships have all been
equipped with depth bombs for fight
ing submarines. This weapon has
been highly perfected by American
