"GermanS Realize U-Boat
War Is Failure"

LONDON, May 2J-The enemy is
destroying British, allied and neutral
tonnage at the rate of about 3,5OOOOO
tons yearly, while Great Britain and
her allies and the neutral countries
will very soon be producing tonnage at
the rate of about 100000 tons yearly,
writes Archibald Hurd the naval ex-
pert. in the Daily Telegraph. Tha,
favorable situation, he declares, should
be reached in few weeks and thence
forward the upward curve in favor of
the allies should proceed in a manner
70 convince the Germans of their fail
ure.
Germany Realizes Failure.
There are indications, the writer
points out that the Germans themselves
realize that the submarine campaign
was a political blunder. The allied
navies have not been weakened he
notes, and the submarine which brought
America into the war has not been able
10 interfere seriously with the transport
tation of American troops and ma
terials..
Morale on Decline.
As result OF the elaborate prepara-
tions made by the admiralty last year
Mr. Hurd comments, the sea is be-
coming an inferno for the submarine
pirates and the morale of the officers
and men employed in the enemys sub
marine service is steadily declining, as
Is shown by evidence of the most con
elusive character

SEEKING AN EFFECTIVE
 VACCINE FOR INFLUENZA

Washington, Oct. 10.-In it's fight to stop the spread of Spanish influenza the public health service is investi- gating the causes of the disease, the conditions which promote it's spread and the part played by carriers in ep- idemics of the malady It also is seek ing an effective vaccine but announce ment was made tonight that the ser vice has as yet been unable to recom- mend any that it believes will be suc- cessful.
 Meantime influenza continues to spread over the country in spite of the strenuous efforts and drastic meas ures taken to prevent it.
 ConditioGs at army camps today showed slight improvement for the second time since the malady became epidemic in the training places. Dur ing the 24 hours ended at noon 12.321 new cases were reported to the office of the surgeon general of the army with 2,7e7 new cases of pneumonia and 8S9 deaths. The total of influenza cases reported at army camps since the disease first appeared now has reached 211, 900, pneumonia cases 25.- 0SS and deaths 7,432.

LETTERS REVEAL TRUE
 CHARACTER OF PRINCE MAX

Washington, Oct. 10.-The idea so carefully fostered by the German semi official press bureau that the ap- pointment of Prince MaxiD1ilian of Baden, as chancellor was a long step toward the Characterization of Ger many is completely dissipated by doc uments written by the prince, copies of which have just reached Wash ington. One is the text of a speech the prince delivered last December in the Baden first chamber, of which he was president. and the other is 8 letter written last January to his cousin, Hohenlohe.
 The papers show the prince in his true character and are accepted here as well justifying President Wilson's inquiry as to whether in seeking peace
 he speaks for those in Germany who
 have conducted the war up to this time They disclose. the prince as holding in cynical contempt the pro-. ponents of democratic government for
 the Central Powers.
 The letter was called forth by the speech, which is some quarters was
 criticized because of the tural combination of lofty Christian doc
 Urine with brutal German militarism. The speech drew telegram of com mendation from the kaiser, the prince wrote his cousin, and rhe iunkers
 caused thousands of copies of it to
 be printed for general distribution over the empire
 In his letter to his cousin, Prince Max discloses his true feelings when l he. said
 AS I am opposed to western par l iiamentarism for Germany and Baden. I was obliged to say to the people of Baden. or rather of Germany, that
 understood its merit, but that such | institutions were not real remedies for them"

NO OVERTIME EXCEPT FOR
 OVER 48 HOURS A WEEK

Washington, Oct 1O.-In announcing awards in three labor controversies today, the War Labor Board laid down the rule that no worker shall draw ov- ertime or extra time pay unless he works forty eight regular hours week except where illness or some other kind of just cause presents
 This policy meets complaints that have come from many war industries that some employees make practice of laying off during the week to work overtime or Sundays for higher rates Of pay Today ruling puts this prac- ucc Inoer the ban and at the same time provides that excessive over time neither shall be permitted nor ex- acted. In order to keep overtime with in reasonable limits it is ordered that where more thar two hours in excess of eight hours work in one day is re- quired, overtime shall be paid for that day, regardless of whether the work CT shall have worked the regular schedule that week
 The ;.W ards were in controversies be- tween the employees and managements of the imerican Locomotive Com pany of Schenectady, N. Y; the Mason Machinery Company of Taunton, Mass, and the United Engineering Company of Youngstown, Ohio. In each case the standard eight hour day, with time and half for overtime and double time for Sundays and holidays was prescribed.

REVELATION OF GERMAN PRoPAGANDIS1'S
Exposure Made by A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property Cuso dian, in Taking Over 19,900 of the 10000 Shares of the Bridgeport Projectile Company Germans Organi- zed $2 900 900 Corporation to Take Big Orders From the Allies and Then Fail to Deliver Them.


 New York, Oct. 10-Revelation of the method by which Count Von Bern storff and other German propagandists, failing in their effort to stop the ship ment of munitions to the allies by blowing up ships and factories. organ iZed a $2,000 900 psuedo American cor poration-the Bridgeport Projectile company-to take big orders from the allies and then purposely fail to fill them, was made here tonight by A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property cus- todian, in announcing the taking over of 19,900 shares of the 10000 shares of capital stock Of the Bridgeport, Conn, concern. In addition, MT. Palmer stated, the company had reported to him other property worth $500,000 held by it and in behalf of Germany.
 The action followed many months
 of inquiry by Francis P Garvan, di-
 rector of the bureau of investigation
 of the alien property custodian's office,
 and involved besides Von Bernstorff,
 Dr. Heinrich Albert pr. Bernard Bern
 burg, Captain Won Papen, Wolf Von
 Igel, Carl Henen, one time American
 consul in Mexico, recently informed,
 and Hans Tauscher, husband of Madame Gadski. the American repre- sentative of Krupp, Mauser and other German intuition manufacturers.
 Incorporation of the company was brought about. MT. Garvan stated, by
 enc George w. Hoadley, an American citizen of Bridgeport, an old friend of Tauscher's. l. was said to have been financed by the German government to the extent of s5,000,000. although the original plans called for an investment ! of s10.0O0,000.

ten miles to the south the city Is out hanked at Solesmes.
 Meantime the French and American armies on that part of the line run ming from northwest of Rheims to the Mouse river still are pressing for ward in the converging movement with the armies in the west and grad ually are forming the entire war theater into huge sack. The Amer jeans continue slowly to advance up the eastern side of the Mouse, while west of the river, in conjunction with the operations of the French, they have all but obliterated the great Ar eonne forest as an enemy defence po- sition. To the west of the forest in the Aisne valley and still farther westward the French also have made further gains. Throughout this en- tire region the Germans still are of fering stubborn resistance, mainly with machine guns. realizing the i'm portance of hol1ing back their foes while their armies in Belgium and farther south make good their retro grade movement
 Both in the Macedonian theater and in Palestine the allied forces are pressing the enemy hard. Albania is fast being cleared of the Austro Hun gaHian troops, while in Serbia the enemy is nearing Nish. harassed by the Serbians. At last accounts Gen eral Allenby still was driving the Ot- toman troops northward in Palestine.
 So lightning like are the manoeu- vers of the allied armies on the va rious battle fronts-from the North Sea to Verdun in Macedonia and in Palestine-that except to the war ex- pert with his military maps constant ly before him it is almost impossible to visualize the situation and real ize the swift strides the allies are making in defeating the common enc my. In France and Belgium in three weeks five important cities which had been in German hands for four years have been recaptured. Dixmude, Ar mentieres, Lens, Cambrai and St Quentin now are in allied hands, while Lille, Douai and Valenciennes seem ingly are all but captured. Serbia shortly is to be fully reclaimed and the Turks soon will know the Holy Land no more.

First Great Air Raid
 By the Americans
$50 Machines Participated En the Future No Part of Germany Will Be Safe From Rain of Bombs.

Washington, Oct 10--Word of the hrst great American air raid against the German camps north of Nerdun sent thrill through war department officials today, although no official re- port had been received to furnish de- tails to the exploit. So far as could be learned, however, the participation of $50 machines in this one enterprise marks it as the greatest air offensive yet undertaken on the western front in point of the air forces employed. No record could be discovered here to- night showing either allied or Ger man bombing raids on anything like a similar scale.
 No official comment could be ,ob- taiped pending the receipt of formal advices. There is every reason to suppose, however, that a considerable portion of tha bombing planes used were De Haviland bombers built in the United States and equipped with Lib erty motors. Shipments of these ma I-ch.nes to France have now reached considerable proportions and recent performance reports from France have been encouraging
 The language of the account of the raid permitted to pass by the Amer fear military censor is taken here to indicate that the operation was joint enterprise. with French ard possibly British airplanes aiding in the pro- lection of the Americans. The refer ence to fifty triplanes as included ir the great air fleet found no expression
 here. If. they were operated by Amer , ican pilots they gre French built ma chimes and no details of the equipment
 obtained abroad by General Pershins
 have been released for publication.

 were dropped by such a force strucl
