FIXED PRICE OF FLOUR
 WON'T PREVENT SCARCITY

The price of flour has now reached a $12.50 level and it is likely that it will remain at that point in the fu- ture owing to the governmental rate on wheat, recently set.
 Dealers report today that restricted quantities of four are arriving from western mills, as was anticipated in news despatches for several months.
 Western millers who have att -ined their maximum output are unable to keep pace with the demand which came to them as result of the hold back of orders by large consumers pending the price fixing at Washing ton.
 , The reserve supply, naturally short drafted upon largely and is being ship ped widely throughout the United States.
 Bridgeport, with other cities. is re- ceiving its quota day by day in car load lots subject to traffic conditions on the railways.
 Although New Ycrx state white wheat a staple commodity two gen. erations ago, has been raised in some quantity this year and is being milled in the restored mills of half century ago, the supply is far short of the need for four as it has been known for the last 10 years.
 In Connecticut where a tendency to reconstruct these mills was shown, it has been found that the supply of grains is insufficient to warrant ex- penditures and the projects have been abandoned.

will be needed to take the place of the fast training machines sent to England. Realizing all this the Amer ican manufacturers are stepping into the breach. Chief among them is the Standard Aero Corporation of New York. which is building training ma chimes for the government at Pialn- field, N. J., and which recently deyel- oped the fastest scout plane nere. Harry Bowers Mfngle, president Of the Standard, less than ten days ago bought the $1,000,000 Brill Car Works in Elizabeth, N. J., to take care or the increased production necessary There the Standard Corporation will make 5000 skilled workmen, of whom 1900 will be women who will make airplane wings This new plant will give the Standard a capacity of 50 airplanes a week, and plants are ai- ready being made to increase, if not double this.
 Other airp1ane manufacturers are planning to increase their plants as fast as they can obtain materials and skilled labor to turn out the machines. Following the Standard lead. they are also putting women to work in their wing shops and wherever possible.
 The result will be that when the German raiders sweep over the Eng fish coast there will be large num- Der of American airplanes among the thousands that will rise, to combat them and the American machines will play an important part in saving Lon don from destruction.

AMERICAN AIRPIlANES
 TO DEFEND LONDON

American aircraft makers are working day and night to meet the situation revealed in rne press of Sep tember 12 when 1t was stated that London is expecting attacks by inn mense squadrons of German aerial raiders Charles H. Grasty, in the New York Times, says in a cable from London, "Nor are they alone in this opinion. I talked today with an American aviation officer who ex- pressed the opinion that within the next few months a fleet of 500 would come to London" The Gotha is the bomb dropping airp1ane used by the Germans for long distance work and can carry nearly one ton of high ex- plosives:
 That London was facing these raids has been known here for some time and the airplane manufacturers have been speeding up'' construction in an effort to save the English capital from partial destruction, Fire must be fought with fire" one of them says, "and the only way to drive off the raiders is with afrplanes. It takes ten or more machines to meet one raider, because the raiders fly at twenty to twenty-five thousand feet and are very difficult to catch. It will require thousands ot airplanes to de- fend London. There ought to be ten thousand at least if the Germans are going to use bombing squadrons of 500."
 This means that fast fighting ma- chimes will have to be withdrawn from the battlefronts and placed on patrol duty about London, It means that the fast machines will have to be sent to England from Canada and other training stations. It means that the fastest and best airplanes that can be made in the United States will Abe needed atFoad.- In addition they

Third-"One of our submarines sighted an enemy submarine on the starboard bow and so dive, but after seeing him through a periscope for few minutes lost sight f him. Our boat came to the surface again and three hours later saw the enemy on the starboard beam. two or three miles away.
 "Our boat dived to attack, but the enemy altered his course and again was lost to view. His apparent ob- 5ective being conjectured our course was altered in the hope of cutting him off, and eventually he again was detected on the port bow, steering as surmtsed. Our course was altered as necessary and when a favorable posi- ton was obtained a torpedo was fired. A splash was observed close to his stern and a few seconds later the ene- my was seen with his stern out of
 water, smoke hanging around 1t and the coming tower half submerged A minute or two later he disappear ed"
 Fourth-"A seaplane proceeded to attack an enemy submarine which she observed mapoeuvring into position to

 over the submarine the latter sub

 heava1 was noticed where the bomb
 was dropped. This could best be compared to huge bubble rising some
 distance above the level of the sea and distinctly visible for a minute or
 more. There was no further sign
 of the submarine"
 Fffth-"A patrol noticed a wake
 with considerable amount of foam travelling parallel with her course a
 short distance away. She crossed
 the wake and dropped an explosive charge over it. Almost immediately a second charge was dropped, and af- ter it had exploded another explosion took place. Oil ard bubbles came to the surface and on this spot a fur ther charge was exploded.
 1.-TWO more patrol craft arrived on the scene and exploded charges. Oil which was still rising after an inter val of twelve hours was heavy brown in color and had. smell like pe- troll"

BRITISH SINK 8 U=BOATS
 IN EIGHT OPEN BATTLES
Three Sunk By Armed Merchantmen One by seaplane; Three by Warships, and One By Allied
 Submarine

London, Sept. Histories of some against German submarines were given to the public in series of brief descriptions of eight encounters, in which eight and possibly nine U boats were accounted for. These eight sea battle lectures were selected so as to cover practically the whole ground of anti-submarine activities.
 In one case there was a battle be- tween an auxiliary cruiser and sub marine, in another an engagement be- tween a seaplane and submarine, then a battle between two submarines in which the British submarine cap tain proved himself the better man. and finally two tales of successes of armed merchantmen against the enemy. The descriptions of these en- counters are as follows:
 --F'frst-'From one of our auxiliary naval forces a torpedo was seen ap- preaching ont the starboard beam. It jumped out of the water when hun dred yards off and struck the engine room near the water line, making a large rent and flooding several com- partments. A starboard lifeboat was blown into the air, pieces landing on the wireless aerial.
 Soon after a perfscope was ob- served just before the port beam. It turned toward the ship. but quickly disappeared as the enemy further submerged. Again it appeared and was followed this time by the coming tower. Fire was opened and the first shot hit the base of the coming tower and removed the two peri scopes. Many other hits were ob- tained and the submarine quickly as- stunned a list to port and several men came out of the hatch.
 '"The U boat widowed along for a space with the stern almost submerg- ed and oil squirting from it's side. and their hands. At this sign of surrender Cease fire was ordered, whereupon the enemy started to make off at a fair speed, hoping to disappear in, the mist. Fire again was opened, a loud
 explosion took place forward, and failing over on his side the enemy sank. the last thing seen being his sharp bow end up, slowly disap- bearing beneath the water. Two sur vivors were picked up. Our ship made for harbor.' i
 Second-"One of our. small craft sighted an enemy submarine at a dis tance of 10, ,000 yards. She maintain ed her course and five minutes later the enemy stopped and then proceed ed toward her. Suddenly he sub- merged, and shortly after a periscope appeared close on the starboard bow for few seconds and then disappear ed. The helm was ported, and when over the place where the periscope was seen an explosive charge was dropped.
 ''The ship circled around and drop ped another charge. The explosion of this charge was followed after two or three seconds by another much more violent explosion which shook the vessel from stem to stern. The water became black over a large area and a considerable quantity of thick oil and fotsam came to the sur face.''
