Nine Subs Operating
In the Atlantic Zone

LONDON, Friday, Oct 11.-Vice Ad-
miral Sims, speaking yesterday at Lord
Northcliffe's luncheon for visiting
American editors, said that the average
number of enemy submarines operating
against merchant ships and transports
across the Atlantic was about eight or
nine, but that sometimes it ran up to
twelve or thirteen. That was all the
submarines the enemy could keep out at
time, he declared.
Around the British Isles, Vice Ad-
miral Sims said, there were about 81
900 anti-submarine craft in operation
day and night. OF American craft there
were 100 and it was about the same in
the Mediterranean. The British grand
fleet, he said, continues to come out Of
port whenever it wants to and goes
wherever it pleases around the North
sea.
The convoy system, Vice Admiral
Sims explained, is nothing else than a
grand fleet of merchant vessels sur
rounded by a screen which makes it
very dangerous for a submarine to make
an attack. There are about 5000 anti
submarine craft in the open sea today,
cutting out mines. escorting troop ships
and merchant vessels and making 1T
possible for the allies to win the'war.
Milkmen and dancing masters are
often at a loss without their pumps.

their. tempers where they cannot find
them again.

GovennentMay Take
Over French Railways

PARIS, Oct. 12-(Havas)-The French
cabinet has decided as a necessary ma
tional defense measure to introduce IN
the chamber of deputies a bill providing
for the taking over by the government
of all French railways during HOSTILE
ties and one year after peace has been
declared The minister of public works
and transport, according to the provi-
sions of the bill, would assume direc-
ton of the railroads and would use the
stairs and material over all the. 'coun-
try Unfortunately as one system.
The measure would be only tempo
rary one and would not bind the future
payment of interest to shareholders. The
payments would continue under the same
conditions as heretofore and the stock
holders would receive remuneration
equivalent to the average dividends paid
in the years 1915. 1916 and 1917.

OTRANTO VICTIMS ARE
BURIED IN CHURCHYARD

ISLAND OF ISLAY, Scotland, Thurs
day, Oct. 10.-(By the Associated
Press. american dead from the troop
ship Otranto will be buried in the lit
tie churchyard at Kilchoman, in wide
graves accommodating twenty bodies
each. The church was too small tU
hold more than a hundred bodies AID
scores were placed under improvised
shelters in the churchyard.
AS rapidly as the bodies can be as
sembled from now on they will be bur-
led in groups of twenty in an open
field o nthe edge of cliff command
a wide view of the sea- and directly
overlooking the scene of the wreck.
A memorial service will be held to-
morrow at the church. 1t will be con-
Quoted by the Rev. Donald Grant, who,
with Mrs. Grant, were leaders in rescue
work. American and British officers,
the Islay authorities and islanders will
attend. After the simple service has
been read, a military salute will be
fired over thee graves.
Owing to the heavy surf and the ex-
treme difficulty of combing the lons
stretches of rock-bound, high-cliffed
coast of the island, the progress of the
searching parties is slow and it may
be many days before the bodies of all
the victims are recovered.
The task of conveying the dead over
the rough. ground from distant points
to Kilchoman is proving a difficult
problem. No four-wheeled vehicles can
be used and the bodies are being
transported on carts.
