tracts that each act carry enough
wardrobe in hand luggage to make an
opening appearance on Monday after

art of compression in the matter of
costumes. properties and stage access

KAROLYI DENOUNCES
AUSTRIAN POLICIES
Criticises U-Boats and Mis-.
judging of America.

BASEL, Oct. II (delayed) AT a sit
ting Of the Foreign Committee of the
Hungarian lower House Count Michael
Karolyl. Opposition leader, sharply crit
icised the foreign policy of the monarchy.
according to Budapest dispatches. He
claimed absolute autonomy for the Hun
garians and said that when the Aus
trian Government rejected the British
proposal to submit the Balkan problem
to arbitration the monarchy proved that
1t wished to begin the war.
Count Karolyi said that Austria's for
eign policy during the war has been
still worse than that which prevailed
before hostilities began and asserted
that there were 'numberless coca sionS
when peace might have been concluded.
When we knew that Germany would
not give in and that the whole world
has arisen against the policy of Ger
many, which had become hateful to all
nations" he continued. I'VE might have
made peace. Our fidelity to the alliance
has limits"
Count Karolyi was ruthless in his
criticism OF submarine warfare, and
said that the main mistake OF the Cen
trail Powers was in Understanding
America. He closed by expressing a
desire for the creation OF an autono-
nous Hungary and requesting the abo-
lition OF tho common Institution Of the
monarchy.
DIR. Alexander wekerle. the Hungar-
ian Premier. In replying. justified the
conduct of the Government. and said
that II had created in Germany a SEN
timent favorable TO peace.

RUMANIANs ARE SUSPICIOUS.
American League Says Hungarian
Cannot He Trusted.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Alarmed at
the prospective fate of their fellow
countrymen in Pennsylvania when dis
solution of the Austro-Hungarian En-
pire comes, the Rumanian National
League OF America issued the, follow
ing statement to-day from its head
quarters in Washington:
THE Rumanian National League Of
America, having in view renewed eff
forts of the Hungarians to falsify his
tory and truth so rs to be able to
continue even after the now inevitab BILE
downfall OF the Austro- Hungarian dual
ism, to Cypress the Rumanians. Slovaks
and Serbs Of Hungary, protests with
ali its energy against these attempts
TO hoodwink the good faith OF the
d.mocracies OF the world.
1T also calls attention of the Amer
lean people to the cynicism exhibited
by the leading Magyar circles in pro-
posing to appoint as delegate to tho
future peace conference Count ApponyI,
the most ferocious tyrant OF the sub
ject races of Hungary. and the too
famous author of the law bearing his
name, which closed 1915 Rumanian
schools.
THE Rumanians OF America. all ma
tives of the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
see no other possible betterment of the
situation OF the 100000 Rumanians
living under Austrian and Hungarian
yoke than their complete liberation and
their union with their brethren Of Ru-
mania.
This is the only solution that would
fulfl their legitimate expectations anu
be in accord with the noble principles
of justice and national free determina-
ton for the realization Of which this
great Republic is hghting."

TWO GERMAN LINES
CRACK IN BELGIUM
Allies Soon to Smash Last De-
fence of Enemy.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FLAN-
DERs, Oct. 1s.-In their plans for a re-
tirement from Belgium the Germans had
prepared three successive lines. upon
each one OF which they intended to halt
and reform. According to captured Ger
man officers the two first lines already
have been broken by the allied advance
and the third one will be reached in a
few days.
At the beginning of the allied attack
on October II there were eight divisions
in the Germans first lines. These were
reinforced BY seven new divisions, but
the new divisions already were ex-
hausted and were of little help. During
the night of october 1916 two divi-
sions from the Russian front were
thrown into the battle, but their strength
had been greatly reduced and their
morale was very weak. The seventeen
divisions have lost heavily in prisoners,
killed and wounded.
The retreating Germans continue acts
OF barbarity. At 1seghem German SOL
diers threw bombs into a dugout where
civilian refugees had sought shelter and
were waiting for liberation.

Union Of Czech Deputies at their meet
ing In Prague. September 20, passed
a resolution declaring that the Czechs
have no faith in the promises OF the
Vienna Government. The resolution,
which was suppressed by the Austrian
censor. has just reached London. 1t
says In part:
I'VE do not believe to-day In prom
ises given and not kept. The most
vehement promises cannot blind us
and turn us away from our aim. The
hard experience of our nation orders
US imperatively to hold Arm in matters
where reality is stronger than all
promises. The Vienna Government is
unable to give US anything we ask
for.
THE Czech nation will follow its anti
German policy whatever may happen,
being sure that its just cause will finally
triumph. especially to-day when II has
becume part OF the great ideals of the
Entente, whose victory will be the only
good produced by this terrible war"

SHIPPING LOSS LESS
AS U-BOATS SUFFER
Tonnage Sunk During Three
Summer Months Less Than
for March.

AMERICAN NAVAL BASE, France. Oct.
10 Correspondence of the Associate
Press The record OF submarine activ-
ity for June. July and August. the period
most favorable to submarines. Is now
practically made up. an2 shows two
highly satisfactory results steady fall
in the allied shipping sunk and steady
rise in the submarines destroyed.
For this period the tremendous arri-
walls have been equally satisfactory not
one of the incoming troop ships lost and
every soldier landed. Such losses as have
occurred have been on outgoing ships,
mainly freighters going back with little
or no cargo.
As the American naval convoy service
has borne the brunt OF this protection
the results achieved for the first summer
are notable tribute TO the American
fleet. In the Mediterranean there are
nve of the allied navies cooperating in
the protective service-French, British,
American, Italian and japanese. Here
on the Atlantic coast, however. tho
French and American fleets furnish the
conveys and protective service, and along
300 miles of the front the American SER
vice has foremost part, particularly
In the huse movement of troops and
supplies from America.
The record. OF tonnage losses for the
summer will close around 100000 TONS
or about $4,000 tons less than the
monthly losses at the opening OF the
year, and 100000 tons less than the
losses in March. In January the losses
stood at about 5000 tons They
mounted steadily through February and
March, until the March total was around
100000, Then n sudden drop began, and
In April the losses were down to $780,
600. Again they mounted slightly in
May TO 100000 Then there was an
other fall to 100000. In July they stood
al 100000; and this has ben the level
10 the close OF the summer.
The percentage OF losses on tho At
lantic route since the convoy system be-
gan May 20 last is less than that on any
other route. In the Mediterranean the
percentage of losses Is about ! " per
cent and on one exposed route II runs
up to IL per cent But on the Atlantic
route where the American convoy Is
chiefly concerned the percentage of
losses is around / per cent.
As TO the loss OF submarines. the one
TACT known definitely Is that they are
being destroyed faster than they are
being built But there In not the same
exact data as to the fluctuations of
losses, as these are carefully concealed
ny the enemy and the loss OF an under
water craft is much less apparent than
one on the surface. But a pretty accu-
rate check Is kept nthose which dis
appear and the new ones taking their
place.
Among the new ones are the U-l39,
C-l4l and U-l42, built at the Germania
Nrupp yards at KEEL. They have a
length of about ais feet, with 10 knots
'pced on the surface and knots under
water They each mount four guns ami
'wo machine guns and have four 500
'entimeter torpedo tubes. two forward
and two aft
