FOE RUTHLFSSLY
SANK uFEBOATS

LONDON, oct. 2s.-with reference
to the paragraph In the German note
denying that the German navy ever
purposely destroyed llfeboats with
their passengers, it Is pointed out in
government circles that many cases
could be quoted In reply to this de-
nial. Two recent cases are the LAND
overy Castle, the Canadian hospital
ship sunk In the Atlantic, and the
French steamer Lydiana, sunk off the
north coast OF Spain July IS.
The Llandovery Cstle was torpedo
ed and sunk off the Irish coast on ths
night OF June 81 while returning
from Halifax with no wounded aboard
The German submarine made no ef-
fort to aid the survivors and even
tried to sink at least one OF the life-
boats.
After the Lydiana had been torpe-
doed two whaleboa and a raft
were lowered. The German subma-
rine rammed both boats, cutting them
in two. After several fruitless at
tempts, the submarine succeeded in
sinking the raft and then disappeared
without helping the survivors. Nine
men OF the crew of AZ were picked
up later, having chung to wreckage for
more than a day. The second ensi-
neer of the Lydiana reported that the
crew of the submarine had laughed
at him when he accused them Of de-
liberately trying to kill all on board
the steamer.

BRIGHTER LABOR OUTLOOK.

The federal secretary of labor an
nounccs that there are fewer strikes
i'll progress than at any previous
time in the existence OF the labor
department. This is good news to
nation that has been worrying
lately about its labor problems.
We have had plenty of economic
troubles since we entered the war.
but most of them seem to have
been Strengthened out, thanks to
the sensible efforts of government
representatives, the patriotic con-
duct OF labor leaders and the fun
damental loyalty OF the majority
of workmen. There is practically
no more difficulty in the shipyards.
Hardly any OF the strikes now pend
ing affect important war industries.
Government, capital and labor have
got together informally for the pur-
pose Of reconciling remaining diff
