 Whether there was loss of life was not known here, but it was assumed that the 70 men rescued comprised the |Schuylkilfs complete complement. x Secretary Daniels made this an nouncernent:
 "The navy department is in receipt of advices that 40 of the crew of the American steamer Schuylkill. which had been torpedoed. have been landed at a Mediterranean port. No navy men were aboard.'
 Both German and Austrian sub marines are operating in the Mediter- ranean, but so far as known the na- tionality of the submarine which sank the Schuylkill was not determined. New York.

He said that if 4u men of her crew had been landed 1t probably meant that all were saved, although he did not have a record of the number aboard available.

marine have returned to their baSe with flags flying. Their victory over the U-boat was one of the cleanest. neatest and quickest pieces of anti submarine work yet recorded by the American squadron.
 The submarine was disabled by a depth charge, rose to the surface three minutes after the charge was fired. hung hesitatingly at the surface for a moment and then sank to the final place of lodgment at the bottom of the sea.
 The pressure of water at the 200 feet or so depth at which she sank soon completed the work of destruc- ton on the strained plates of the sub marines hull. For long time bubbles and oil continued to rise in great gulps from the grave where she lay and then the Americans made assur- ance complete in a manner of which it is unnecessary to go Into detail.

This Revolutionary Move Decided Upon to Remedy the Congestion of
 Transportation
COMMITTEE COMPOSED. lOF VICE PRESIDENTS WILL CARRY OUT WORK
This Body Will Be Under Direction of Railroad War Board-Programme
 Outlined
By the A.soeinted Pres.

By the A83oftuteu
 Washington, November A. Operation of all railway lines east of Chicago as one centralized system was de- cided on today by the rail- road war board to obtain a maximum of efficiency in traffic movement. Cars and trackage facilities will be pooled regardless of owner ship or the railroads indi- vidual interest.
 This almost revolutionary move was announced tonight after an all- day conference between members of the war board and government of ficials, at which many remedies were offered for the freight congestion that has affected transportationt in the least. It was adopted as the best and Ireadiest means of meeting situation that has threatened the production and despatch abroad of war materials.
 The roads will be operated by com mittee of vice presidents of the lines un- der the general direction of the war board. itself comprising five of the coun- try's railway heads. The committee e vice presidents will be given full author ity to adopt any measure found neces- sary to accomplish a unified operation OPERATION PROGRAMME The operating programme calls for the following:
 | Diversion of locomotives, employees and machine tools from western to eastern railroads.
 l Utilization of repair shops on western lines for repairing eastern equipment Pooling of all tracks and equipment in the east wherever practicable. | Pro rata distribution among eastern 1 reads of open top cars on basis of ton- nags carrying capacity of the equipment ] in the pool.
 I Diversion from congested lines of all fre1gnt that can De ndHulcu py dHy oPoA route.
 IMMEDIATE STEPS | To make more effective the pooling arr raneement, the war board recommended that the government take the following
 steps immediately:
 1 Survey the present contracts and meth
 ods of purchase and shipment of coal that cross hauls may be eliminated and that coal may move on the shortest rouls from the producer to consumer. | Extend the pooling of coal production
 and shipment.
 | Transfer as far as possible the move ment of foodstuffs and other export
 commodities to southern ports to relieve
 congestion in North Atlantic ports. ] Survey all government requirements in volving the movement of raw materials
 and manufacturer products so that ac- cumulations on road and in terminals lmay be eliminated while products are awaiting shipment or export.
 Require wherever possible the building of war industrial plants in territory oth- CT than the eastern seaboard.
 The pooling plan was worked out by lthe railroad heads some days ago and was formally approved by government officials at today's conference. The gov ernment representatives present were Robert S Lovett, director of priority of Transportation; Fuel Administrator Hoov- er Chairman Hurley Of the shipping board, Edgar F. Clark of the interstate commerce commission, and others. Tho plans will be put into immediate effect.

Secretary Daniels announced the cap
 ture and sinking of the submarine today
 In formal statement which made no
 mention of prisoners nor of the reason
 for the boat sinking. The details leaked
 out at the department later, but the sec
 retary would neither affirm nor deny
 them, saying he had issued the state
 ment in agreement with the British ad-
 miraity and could not add to it.
 PRIZE EVIDENTLY BIG ONE There was report in naval circles that approximately 40 men, including nve officers, were taken off the submarine. II this were true it Was pointed out the vessel undoubtedly was one of the larg- est, of the cruiser type, known authentic ally to be operated by the Germans. The action occurred in the war zone
 several days ago and the submarine went down while one destroyer was attempt ing to tow her to port Although tho British policy is to publish nothing ir such cases an agreement was reached between the navy department and the British admiralty to give out certain facts. which Secretary Daniels announced today in a brief statement. Officers of both the war and navy departments, hcw- ever, were too elated over the news to keep it quiet First the report spread that some prisoners had been taken. and before the day was over the story of just what happened was out.

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY bles received, the Associated Press makes the following summary of the news from the war fronts:
 Hard fighting continued in the battle of Cambrai Saturday, with the British pushing determinedly northward on the Fontaine -Queant line. west of Cambrai. Unofficial reports late in the day in dicated the prob ability that General Byng,s troops had wrested possession of the hotiy disputed Bourbon wood from the Germans and had recaptured the town of Moeuvres. The village of Fon- taine less than three miles from Cam brai was reported in flames, suggesting the proba ability of an impending German retirement from the place.
 DESPERATE RESISTANCE
 The Germans are resisting desperately the British advance, which is being pressed most energetically on this east lowest front General Byngs evident intention is to drive in behind the main Tindenburg lines, preached in Tuesdays s surprise attack and. the Queant- Drocourt switch line. while still pushing his en- circHng movement of Cambrai to the north and east.
 The British attacks were chiefly de- livered on this same front. Gains were scored, but Bourbon wood and Moeuvres still remained in German hands Byngs troops had even. captured Bourbon VII lage. to the north of the wood. Berlin official statement indicates. hut were driven back by a strong German coun- terthrust The British have pushed con siderably to the northwest of Moeuyres, however and are hamInering at lncfy, which the Germans are battling deter minedly to retain.
 ITALIAN FRONT
 The Italians have now completed a successful two weeks defense or tneir Pfave line and the northern front pro tecting its flank. Although they have had to yield ground during this time on ,her front between the upper Piave and the Asiago plateau, their defensive line remains unbroken. The Italian fourth army, under General Robilant, was on the aggressive between the Piave and the Brenta on Friday, while the first army beat off heavy attacks between the Asiago plateau and the Brenta and the third < h,y foiled further efforts by the Austro- German forces to bridge the Piave with pontoons
