REACHES LONDON
One American Ship Report
ed to Be Far Out in
Fiume Harbor

London, Sept. 22--American naval
headquarters here, which rs in direct
communication with Adriatic ports, has
no confirmation OF the report that Amer
lean marines have been landed near
Fiume.- Naval authorities here are not
inclined to credit the report.
Rome, Sept 22.-American marines
have been landed at Buecari small
town on an arm of the Gulf of Quarnero,
about 10 miles southeast of Fiume, says
a dispatch to the Messagero, One Amer
lean ship is in Fiume harbor, according
to adviees, but the anchorage is a con-
siderable distance from the city.
General Badoglios ultimatum to the
DAnnunzio soldiers, giving them until
Friday night to leave Fiume, is said to
have been extended till last night.
Fiume is closely invested, but num-
bers of volunteers have eluded the
guards and have joined the forces OF
Captain D'Annunzio, according to re.
ports received here. Friends Of DAN
nunzio have sent word to him that they
have sent supplies to the city and ex-
press the hope that ships bearing the
stores may run the blockade
Reports reaching this city state that
food for 10000 persons must be distrib-

crease in the percentage of cars with
drawn for repairs in the recent months
up to and including July, The fact is
that this increase in the number of cars
withdrawn for repairs has not been due
to falling off in the number of cars
repaired but has been due to q number
of complex factors which have arisen
from the conditions resulting from the
war. from the exceptional pooling of cars
during unified control, and from ques-
tions arising between the railroad ad-
ministration and the railroad corpora
tions. The emphasis which has been
laid upon the percentage of cars with
drawn from service for repairs IS, there
fore, misleading and does not give cor
rect idea as to the number of cars ac-
tually in service. The number of cars
actually in service, not including bad
order cars, increased from l,0S3,000 on
July l, 1917 to 2065000 on July l, 1919.
The railroad administration, however,
is not content with its ability to point
to the fact that transportation service is
more favorable than it was two years
ago. On the contrary, extraordinary ef
forts are being put forth to secure the
greatest possible improvement. Al
though the number Of cars repaired in
May and June, 1919, was fully up to the
normal number of cars repaired, the rail-
road administration gave instructions on
June 20, 1919, that all car forces be in
creased to the full standard measure Of
As hours per week and that additional
shifts be worked where the additional
employees could be obtained and where
they could be economically used. The
showing naturally TO be expected from
the putting into effect of these instruc
tions was hampered in July by the in
tervention of practically a double holt
day and, of course, was temporarily pre-
vented in August by the strikes of a
large number of shop employees. Condi-
tions having now been restored to nor
NAL it is expected that these instrue-
tions will promptly show most favor
able result. Further than this, the rail
road administration instructed on Aug
l6, 1912 that all car forces be put on a
basis of "a hours per week. 1t is be-
lieved that this instruction will result
in marked improvement, also in the
monthly repair of much greater num-
Der of cars actually available for service
as compared with preceding years.
In addition to this, the railroad adj
ministration is rapidly getting the bene-
fit of the service of a large number of
new cars constructed during federal con-
troll but whose introduction into service
was postponed on account of inability
TO agree with the railroad corporations
as to the acceptance of the cars. This
inability has been overcome. Between
Aug. and Sept. 6, 2S,564 of these cars
have been put into service, and they are
now coming into service under the spur
of recent instructions at the rate Of over
300 per day.

BRITISH OFFICERS
ARE WITHOUT JOBS
Men Recently Demobilized Are Having
Serious Time on Meagre Pensions
While They Are Seeking
Work.

London, Sept, % Correspondence of
the Associated Press From all parts
of the country come reports of the diff
ficulty demobilized officers are having to
find jobs. Those former officers with
wives and families to support are in
many cases living on meagre pensions.
One of the most remarkable cases of
unemployment is. that of Cambridge
university graduate who for the greater
part of the war held an important com
mand in the army and subsequently a
temporary post of great responsibility in
government department. He is armed
with letter from the war office thank
ing him for his services and adding:
"There are few people with greater or
ganizing ability, more charming manners,
greater tact and drive than yourself"
Another letter to him from Sir Auckland
Geddes, president Of the Board of Trade,
expresses warm personal thanks for
your loyal and devoted cooperation in
very difficult work." King George be.
slowed on him the order of commander
of the British empire.
But these credentials have been of no
avail in his quest for suitable employ
ment in this country, and, in despair, he
says that he is going to America next
month
Ex-officers have discovered that the

asset. An infantry captain 43 years old,

GAMBAIS "BLUEBEARD'
A Willy PERSON
Gives Evasive Replies to Quizzing of Au-
thorities Who Are Trying to Ferret
Out the Mystery of 10
Women.

Paris, Sept % Correspondence Of the
Associated Press Little Roadway has
been made in the case of Landru, the
Cambais Bluebeard," as the French pa
pers term him, who is charged by the
police with being responsible for the dis
appearance of ID women to whom he had
promised marriage.
The police have been investigating for
four months and four times week
Landru is taken from the prison OF La
Sante to the Office of Judge BONN, whose
questions as to the fate of the IL women
elicit from Landru evasive and at times
very witty responses. They have got as
far as sweetheart number three and
Landru's fippant replies have nearly
driven the judge to nervous prostration.
Yesterday the Judge announced that
he was going for holiday. Landru i'm
mediately Clipped in with the request
that he, too, be permitted to take q va
cation, as the regime of La Sante did
not agree with him. Might he not be
allowed to go to his villa at Gambais
and hold himself. at the disposition of
the court? 1t was froms Gambais villa
that Landru's future spouses disappeared
never to be heard of since.
Judge BONN was asking Landru this
week how it was that his son, who as
sisted him in removing the furniture of
three of his fancees, did not make quer
les when moving that of Mrs. Guillin, the
third removal Of furniture in six months,
did he not find it stranger asked the
Judge
my children obey my orders, they do
not discuss them" responded Landru Il
have my misgivings as to the way you
bring up your children, Judge" he added,
sententiously.
Landru commended that he had an or
der from Mrs. Guillin, drawn up in legal
form, giving him full power of attorney
to administer herlproperty. "This docu-
ment was not found among your papers,
therefore, / must conclude that it never
existed" said the Judge
"And as you and your police, with all
the means at your command, are unable
to find Mrs. Guillin, / must therefore
conclude that she never existed" coun-
tered Landru.
Not one vestige of the missing women
has been found and the charge of murder
against Landru is growing weaker
There is no corpus deficit" The villa
at Gambais has been ransacked by the
police and ponds in the vicinity Of the
villa have been drained, but it would
appear that the women have vanished
into thin air. To questions as to the
probable whereabouts of the missing
women, his relations with them prior to
their disappearance, Landru invariably
replies; Il am man Of the world, can
not betray the confidence of women"

RECLAIMINC TREASURE
FROM THE LAURENTIC
1t Is Reported That There Was S35,ooo,.
900 Worth of Gold on the White
Star Liner When She Sank
Jan. rs, 1917.

Portsalon, Ireland, Sept. 81 GORE
spondence of the Associated Press).--
Salyaging S35,000,000 worth of gold in.
gots and bullion the White Star liner
Laurentic is reported to have carried
when she was sunk the night of Jan. %
1917, off the Fanad light, one of the
northernmost headlands of Ireland, at
the entrance to Tough Swilly, is being
conducted by the salvage ship Racer.
The princely cargo lay at depth OF
% fathoms. The gold and bullion were
contained in the strong chamber amid
ships rendered almost impregnable by
its thick steel walls and heavily bolted
doors At first portions of the Lauren
tics decks were blasted away and a pas
sage was made clear for the divers. On
June 20 the retrieving of the treasure
began.
The first bucket sent up contained only
copper pennies and a few silver coins,
Then for several days, bucket after buck
ct containing three or more gold bars,
each worth more than $1,000, were hoist
ed to the surface and dumped on the
deck Of the Racer. The first of these
bars brought lusty cheers from the crew
of the salvage ship, but tossing fortunes
about soon came to be merely another
form of manual labor to these sailormen,
Most of the gold bars were nine inches
long, two inches thick and four inches
wide and weighed about 2S pounds. For
days not one was found, as many OF
them were hurled clear of the wreck by
the blasting necessary to make the
strong chamber accessible. Several feet
of sand have now been washed over
these scattered bars and meath masses
of-twisted steel and it frequently requires
hours of patient labor to pry them loose.
The record days haul so far had been Al
bars worth approximately S350000
Thus far several million dollars worth
of treasure has been salvaged.
The Racer carries eight divers. Their
tricks" are so arranged that one diver
lis at work throughout the day. Each
works half an hour and then must spend
SO minutes in coming to the surface, as
otherwise the sudden relief from the
tremendous deep-water pressure might
cause partial or complete paralysis. They
are brought up in l0-fathom "hauls,
with l0-minute rest" intervals
When the days work is over, the day s
catch" if considerable, is dispatched to
London with an armed convoy
When first built the Racer was a
square-rigged man o-war-one of the
Wooden Walls Of England" as the
ships Of the British navy at that time
were known-a century ago.

CAR SITUATION
MORE SATISFACTORY
There Was Surplus on Aug. 1, 1919
More Than Double the Surplus
One Year Ago.

Current discussion of car shortages and
related questions makes it important to
bring to the attention of the public the
fact that, contrary to what seems to be
the public assumption, conditions in this
respect are substantially more favorable
than they were in recent years prior to
the war, says Walker D. Hines, director
general of railroads.
On Aug. l, 1917, the total car SURPRISES
reported throughout the country were
43, 48l cars, whereas on Aug. l, 1919, the
total car SURPRISES were l07 800 The to-
tai number Of untitled car acquisitions on
Aug. /, 1917, was 1881, whereas the
total number of untitled ear acquisitions
on Aug. /, 1919, was only 1921
The number of freight cars in service
and not withdrawn for repairs on July /,
1917, was l,9s3,00 The number of
freight cars in service and not with
drawn for repairs on July /, 1919, was
2,065 900.
The very fact of unified control of all
the railroads has tended to concentrate
the comments upon any inability to per
form 100 per cent of the transportation
required, but the foregoing figures show
/ Jnat the SITUATION uuIllg ana hJ the enu
of July, 1919, was very much better than
in the corresponding period in 1917. 1t
is believed this fact ought to be borne in
mind by the public in appraising the ex-
listing car service conditions.
The extent to which freight cars have
been repaired in recent months has been
the subject of some comment The mum

On account of the fact that the Fourth
of July came on Friday this year and
of the proportionately small amount of
work done on the following day, the
falling off in the number of cars repaired
in July as compared with June is clearly
explainable. The number Of cars re-
paired per month in May and June kept
fully up to the number repaired in Jan
ury, although in May and June many
shops were still working on shorter hours
than in January.
