CREW OF LOST ship SAFE
Captain and Seven Men Afloat in
Small Boat Three Weeks

Turks Island, II. w. l., Nov. 6-The
captain and seven men of the Norwegian
bark Stifnder. who had been missing
since their vessel was stopped by Ger
man submarine and they were forced
to take to a small boat on October 13,
have arrived here after more than three
weeks exposure and in an almost starved
condition.
The captain said his small boat made
for Halifax. but soon capsized and most
of their provisions were lost. They
managed to right the craft, and then,
because OF the extremely cold weather.
they decided to try for Bermuda.
Instead they rowed all the way to
Turks Island. from a point approxi-
matey 1000 miles east of New York.
They suffered intensely and were in a
pitiable condition when they reached
here. They knew nothing of the fate
OF their companions who were In the
other small boat.
New York, Nov. 6.--The arrival of the
captain and seven men Of the Norwegian
bark Stifinder at Turks Island accounts
for the entire crew of the vessel. The
others reached New York last week after
being picked up by n United States naval
ship They reported that the crew of a
German submarine had abandoned the
Stifinder's men to their fate after board
ing the bark and placing bombs on her.

Bankers were slow to express opinions

war. now that Austria Hungary has

from the end Of the present week till
two months from now. There seemed
10 be in the minds of several financiers
fear of the mob IN the bolligerent
countries breaking all bounds and for
time producing chaotic conditions such
as prevail in Russia. One banker said
he dreaded war before the United states
went in, and now he breads peace more,
or, rather. what may happen until peace
and stable governments have been es-
tablished.
"Our first duty" he said, must be
to feed Europe. There Is not as much

the mob In Central Europe must be-

Germany's harvest this year Is wofully
short--so short, he said, that above all
other considerations 1t Will have the
greatest weight in compelling Germanys

which tie Allies may impose.
The weight of opinion in the financial
district leans to an early surrender on
the part OF Germany, now that the AL

PAY YOUR OWN DUES, SAYS MAC

In refusing to permit club dues of railroaders
to longer be paid out of the operating funds, T. T.
Director McAdoo has hit the railroad higher-ups
right where they swallow their asparagus.
1t has been matter of general, and often par
ticular, comment that when questions OF rates,
trackage or other rights came up between NUM-
cipality and railroads, chambers Of commerce,
commercial clubs and similar bodies very often
voted in friendliness with the railroad magnates.
A large part Of the vote was cast by freight and
passenger solicitors and the smaller executive Off
GERS Of the railroads whose club dues were paid
out of the roads operating expenses"
The operating expense money came out OF the
railroads patrons, shippers and passengers, 50
that the process virtually was to take the patrons
money and use it for effect against their muni-
cipal interests. A double-buckle cinch, according
to raw Arizona philosophy!

propose to make their campaigns on the simple

the league, land some other standards than mere
self assessed patriotism should be considered"
It won't make much difference what the candi-

platforms-the people are going to size up candi-
dates on the standard of their loyalty, and can
them if they don't shine in this particular. The
war is going to last longer than the next congress.
AT any rate, the people are preparing for such q
condition, and they want none save loyal men on
