GROW AFTER WAR

NEW YORK. Oct. 1z-Great prosper
ity in this country after the war is pre-
dicted by Otto n. Kahn, OF the banking
firm Of Kuhn. Loeb & Co., provided
capital and labor proceed on terms OF
fair play. Mr.. Kahn made this predic-
ton and gave this advice while speak
ing last night at a dinner Of the Ma

the Hotel Astor.
II look forward" he said. for this
country to a period OF auspicihus
achievement and great prosperity after
the war, provided that relations between
employers and employees are determined
on the basis OF mutual fair play and
enlightened good will believe We are
easily able to carry the burdens, vast
though they may be, which we shSu
have inherited from our war expendi-
tIrres, provided that our house Is or
dered with reasonable wisdom.
at is true the waste OF war is enor-
nous, but on the other hand we have
created vast assets during the war, both
tangible and Intangible: we have be-
come a creditor nation the world will
need our products and the genius OF our
enterprise and energy as never before"

THIRTY LOSE LIVES
AS NEW SHIP S
SUNK IN COLLISION

KEY WEST, Fla, Oct. 5.-Thirty men
lost their lives Thursday night when
the shipping boards new steamer Lake
City was sunk off Key West in COLI
sion with the tanker James MCGEE.
Only five men out of the crew of 30
were saved.
The MCGEE struck the Lake City
amidships and cut her half in two,
sending the shipping board steamer to
the bottom in three minutes.
Of the thirty members of the crew
who went down with their vessel, IL
is believed that most of them were
caught asleep in their hunks and had
little or no chance to escape. The Nc
Gee was disabled and brought to this
port According to officers of the tank
err her engines were stopped immedi-
ately following the impact of the col
lision and boats lowered to search for
members of the crew of the Lake City.
The boats remained out all night, max
ing a complete search in an endeavor to
pick up survivors. They succeeded. how
ever, in finding only five men.
No cause has been assigned for the
accident, but it is generally believed
among seamen here that the collision
was due to the two vessels running
without lights. This belief is substan-
tiated, it is thought, by the fact that
the Lake City was struck amidship
while trying to avoid the tanker by
turning aside after running close up
before seeing the oil carrier.
All vessels passing the scene at the
time responded to calls and Joined in
the search for survivors.
