 WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-Coomess and quick maneuvering by Commander Walter Her Vernon probably saved the American destroyer Cassin nom de- suuctIon in an encounter with Ger man submarine Tn ;he war zone on october 10, the navy department was aavlseu today by wee Aumlral Sims m ms lull lepo.. o1 the tIgnt, meage. uetaIis of wnlcn were received iast week.
 before she had an opportunity to ire a shot. the destroyer was hit on the stern by d torpedo, which killed Gun ners Mate Osmond kelly Ingram, slightly wounded five others o1 the crew and put one engine out of com missi an.
 The Cassin had been searching half .tn hour for submarine first sighted five miles away when Commander Vernon suddenly saw d torpedo 400 yards distant and making for the ship at great speed. Realizing that his ves- sel was in immediate danger of being hit amidship and broken in two. the commander ordered full speed ahead and the wheel hard over. The patral boat was just clear of the torpedo s path when the projectile broached on he surface, turned sharply and hits it's objective.
 Recovering quickly from the shock of the explosion the Cassin continued the search to be rewarded by the show ink of the U-boats coming tower. For shots were sent at the German and two came so close that the sub marine quickly went under again.

To Prosecute Hoarders

DENVER Oct. 22.-Prosecution of persons hoarding sugar was threat ened today in a statement by. Thomas B. SteaTns, federal food administrator for Colorado
 Mir. Stearns said that every case of large purchases of sugar would be investigated and where it was found sugar was being bought up beyond immediate needs of the purchasers prosecution would follow
 The announcement followed reports of unusually heavy purchases of sugar immediately after the announcement of sugar shortage in the east
 The report that there is general shortage of sugar throughout the country is untrue" MT. Stearns said. Because of heavy shipments of sugar to the allied nations, particularly to France, there is some shortage on the eastern seaboard But there is no shortage and no prospect of any in Colorado. OVer-eXcited because of these reports. consumers have rushed to make purchases directly against the provisions of the national flood act
 If these persons who are guilty of unnecessary and excessive buying are detected they will be prosecuted to the full extent Of the federal law It is incumbent upon the people of Colo rado to refrain from undue excitement and to obey the .laws There is enough sugar being manufactured in Colo .ado to last an indefinite period"

 The supreme court of Massachusetts was asked to decide whether the estate should first be divided into eleven parts, to correspond with the number of Gideon Howland's kin, or into 45 parts, on the basis of the number of the grandchildren, living or dead.
 The probate court decree ordered distribution by ty-fifths, but appeals were taken by four heirs residing in New York and New Jersey. The Mas sachusettS court is not called in to pass on the accuracy of the list of heirs which has been accepted as re- ported by the trustees and confirmed by the probate court

 Attorneys for Edward H. R. Green Hetty Greens son, submitted a brief claiming that James A. Jelly and one other, of Detroit, are not entitled tp share in the distribution of the es- tate, as they are not lineal descend ants of Gideon Rowland, creator of the fortune

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Oct 22-Heasury officials announced tonight that re- ports reaching the department of Lib erty loan subscriptions throughout the nation today were not of a character to warrant confidence that the $50G0 000000 maximum quota desired would be achieved.
 Virtually on the eve of the cam paign's finish, it appears that the total will fall short of the huge sum set as the country's goal Only an avalanche of dollars can bring the lists up to the full maximum quota.
 Liberty Day, officials assert, will do much toward bringing the goal nearer but Liberty day will not do it all. The remaining three and one-half days they assert, must be days of the most strenuous endeavor and big results if the total runs. to 5000, 100000
 Indications from increases shown by the latest official report of sales and such scattering unofficial estimates on today's business as trickled into the treasury department are that the $2,- 000. .000,0 900 mark has been well passed" says the treasury's announcement to- night, and that possibly $2 250 900. 900 has been subscribed"
 A total of unofficial. estimates was not available from the twelve official federal reserve banks Officials de- layed the issuance of the statement to- night beyond the usual hour waiting for reports but few came in.
 optimism is being expressed by many the announcement continued, 1 in the belief that Liberty day and eleventh hour sales will carry the total across the maximum quota mark. It is considered unlikely by careful ob- servers. however, that these two ele- ments alone will result in the larger total

 WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-Govern- ment control and operation of coal mines was suggested to the fuel ad ministration today in telegram from the president of one of the local unions in Illinois having 5000 mem bers.
 The following telegram summariz- ing the middle west strike situation was received by Dr. Garfield from John P. White, president of the United Mine Workers of America, who is dealing with the situation from his headquarters at Indianapolis:
 All miners resumed work in Indi ana this morning and practically all in Ohio Latest reports from Illinois are that all mines are resuming in line with instructions"
 The strike situation in the south west is unchanged so far as the gov ernment is advised, the men there holding out under advice of their leaders on. account of the operators penalty against strikers.
 Dr. Garfield issued this statement on retail prices:
 Reports just received from state fuel administrators indicate in many sections a gratifying tendency down ward in retail coal prices.
 In Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Pa. retail coal prices have been re- duced.
 Tn New York prices have recently been reduced by larger dealers from ten to forty cents a ton on various grades and other dealers are meeting these new prices.

BRITISH AND FRENCH MAKE ..4N NEW " ATTACKS AND SUCCEED

Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

lRepubiican A. P. Leased Wlrei
 The British and French forces in Belgium have delivered another attack against the German front northeast of Ypres and have captured all their objectives, consisting of many strong positions.
 The offensive was launched south east of Poelcapelle and northward along the southern border of the Houtholst forest Near Poelcapelle the British drove on beyond their object ives and gained important ground. The French troops took the southern de- lenses of the Houtholst forest and in addition a series of fortified farms.
 The attack began in the early hours of the morning, after a heavy bonn bardment of the German positions and apparently the allies met with only slight resistance
 The violent artillery duels between the French and the Germans along the continue.
 Likewise the Austro- Italian theater and in Macedonia, bombardments pre- vailed almost exclusively.
 The Russian gulf of Riga fleet, which last week apparently was bottled up in Moon sound by the German naval forces, has made it's way out of the sound and is now guarding the north ern entrance to the sound of WormsQ island.
 The Russian vessels made their es- cape without further losses than the battleship Slava, which was sunk in naval engagement last Wednesday, and two other vessels. presumably transports which went ashore.
 Meanwhile the Germans have landed forces on the Esthonia coast, pressed back the Russian right wing slight ly and occupied the western portion of the Derder peninsula. That larger landing somewhere along this coast is in anticipation is indicated by the pres ence in the vicinity of the Gulf of Riga of large German naval forces convoy ing transports.
 In a speech delivered in London. David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, said he had carefully ob- served the situation and saw no peace terms in sight which would lead to an enduring peace.
