PRAISES PRESIDENT
Former British Secretary Delivers Address For. First Time in
 Two Years.

London, Oct. 10-Biscount Grey the former secretary for foreign af- fairs, in the first speech he has made in two years, said he thought peace was within sight, but not with in reach.
 He praised the wisdom of Presi- dent Wilson's reply to the German note.
 :. Viscount Grey spoke at Westminis- ter at a '''league of nations" meetinf
 The country, he declared, must give it's united support to the government in the conduct of the war until peace was within reach. A league of ma. tons could not be substitute for the successful termination of the war.
 Never had he seen how it could be possible to form league of na- tions before peace was concluded.
 Such a league must be founded at the peace conference; if delayed be- yond "a few days, the chances that it would ever be formed were slight
 A league, of nations, he urged, must include Germany.
 There could be no thought of dis armament until Germany had dis dIHleu. F. V e> A

GERMAN LOAN IS
 MATTER OF DOUBT

Amsterdam. Oct. 10 lBy The Asso- ciated Press. )-It would seem that the German public is beginning to doubt whether the ninth German war loan is a safe investment.
 The German papers publish as an impetus to the loan the statement that an official declaration will soon be issued announcing that the imper- ial government and the Reichstag will assume full responsibility for the absolute safety of the war loans.
 "Let no one thing that such a de- claration is necessary" the statement continues, "because subscriptions are failing.
 "On the contrary the prospect is excellent and the total of the ninth loan will reach at least that of the eighth. t t
 ''But it is necessary to emphasize abroad that the empire is financially sound" <~-~

300 LIVES LOST WHEN U.bOAT HITS
 JAPANESE LINER
Leaves Passengers Serug- gling In Water; Ameri-
 cans to Rescue.

A British Port, Monday, Oct. 7. (By corded tonight.
 The Associated Press 1.-The Japan csc steamship Hirano Maro of 1885 tons gross, has been torpedoed and sunk. It is feared that 300 lives were lost.
 The Hirano Maru was outward bound for Japan and carried about 200 passengers. The vessel was tor pedoed and sunk by German sub- marine early on Friday morning when about 300 miles south of Ire land
 Ea The few survivors who were picked up by the American torpedo boat des- troyer Sterret have been brought here. They declare that the torpedo struck the steamer in the forward engine room. The vessel sank in seven minu- tes. The scene was indescribable. The :weahtre was bad and rather hazy. ' The cries of the drowning was heart-rending.
 Everybody had been supplied with life belts, but only the strongest were able to stand the buffeting waves and exposure Providentially, the commander of the American destroyer Sterret heard the explos- ion and steered his vessel for the point whence the sound came.
 He found the ship had disappeared and saw mass of people struggling in the water.
 While the destroyer was engaged in the work of mercy and picking up the men and women struggling in the water the German submarine fired two torpedoes at the warship.
 Both missiles happily missed their mark. After making a thorough scar oh for survivors the Sterret headed for the submarine firing several shots and dropping depth charges.

LA CATEAU IS
 CAPTURED BY
 THE BRITISH

Germans in this sector are offering hard opposition with their rear guards.
 But this may break. at any time as it did to the southeast of Cambrai. There are signs that the Germans aer preparing for a general retreat as they must do now that such wide gains have been made to the south east of Cambrai and cavalry and pat rols are working far forward Air planes report increased confusion on the roads to the east and northeast of Le Cateau.
 Pounding The Fleeing Germans.
 The British guns have again been moved up and are pounding the flee ing Germans heavily.
 Low flying British ai1'planas are out in great numbers, despite the bad flying weather, bombing and machine tgunning bodies of troops and fleeing transports.
 They are doing tremendous damage to the terrified Germans. The drive in addition to menacing the Germans north of Cambrai. is rapidly leaving their entire positions south of the river Suippe in a pocket.
 If the British go much farther east and the French ana Americans drive up, the Germans undoubtedly will be obliged to evacuate all this vast stretch of territory.

One of the survivors said the sub. marine was of the cruiser type and had the largest guns he ever had seen on a submarine.
 One of the engineer officers, he said, whose room was pierced by a shell from the submarine declared that the shell was an eight inch pro- jectile.
 Heretofore only six inch guns have been reported OH submarines.
 The survivors who were adrift for four days before they were picked up, said that a, raft with five wounded men on it had put off from the Ticon1 deroga and that they had attempted to tow it with them but that it broke away during the night and disappear ed.
 There were 250 men aboard the Ticonderoga, an American steamship of 5,130 tons and all but the 20 who arrived here today are believed to have perished.
 The survivors got away in the only boat which was not demolished by the shell fire from the submarine, they said. Seventeen of the men who reach- ed port were members of detach- ment of soldiers detailed to care for horses which were being transported.

 Children can help enormously in having in little ways, and there is every reason why they should be taught to do so.
 Mothers or fathers are only 50 per cent patriots who do not teach their little ones what great results come from food sacrifice in this country now. They see the soldiers march ing along their street. They all can sing America" lustily. In school they pledge allegiance to their flag. and they have learned to knit.

 The letter follows
 ''Dear Aunt: You wanted to know about the war. I can't tell so very mrch, but the American soldiers are driving the Huns back every time they get them where they can get to them. Don't see how the war can last much longer, and there is no doubt as to whether we will win or not. I am in the Y M. c. A. this afternoon, and if it wasn't for the Y. M. c. A. don't know what we fellows would do. They take tonac- co and cigarettes right up to the front line to the boys. where the shells are bursting all about.

GERMAN BONDS
 LOSE THEIR
 MONEY VALUE

Basel, Switzerland, Oct. 10.-There are persistent rumors among the working classes in Germany, accord ing to advices received here, that Germany's imperial bonds may be- come valueless
 The rumors have their basis in the repeated entente victories. The peo- pie of numerous towns are said to be unloading their war bonds at extra ordinarily low prices and panic seems imminent
 The German newspapers are pub fishing long appeals in endeavors to tranquilize public feeling.

MAIN BODY HUNS IN
 DESPERATE RETREAT.

With the Anglo-American Forces Oil the Cambrai-St Quentin Sector Oct 10 ((4 p. m.-(By The Associ- a1ed Press. 1.-The British armies continued their rapid movement east ward today despite desperate re- sistance which they encountered at times from strong enemy rear guards who were trying to protect the main bodies of the troops now in flight.
 British and American forces contin- ued to advance rapidly and are driv- ing the demoralized Germans before them, according to all available re- ports on this front
 The whole battle is on field that was aflame throughout the night. The many fires have completely destroy ed towns and farm houses.
 The powerful mines which the Ger mans had placed under Cambrai seem to have been set with time fuse, the idea being to complete the destruct- ion started by fire and to kill as great a number of the allied soldiers as was possible.
 The explosion went off with roar under the center of the town after it had been occupied by the British. The crash and detonation were seen and heard for miles.
 Great damage, the exact extent of which has not yet been determined, was done in Cambrai.
 Not many German prisoners are coming in now, for the bulk of the Teutons, even machine gunners in many cases, fled for their lives as the British and Americans approached.
