Out Of q total Of 500 German sub
marine commanders the Entente
powers have called for only thirty,
who, presumably, are suspected Of

Few parliamentary leaders in Ber-

as to what action would be taken, but
were inclined to be skeptical in re,

demand for extradition. They were
inclined to believe it to be the pre-
lude of demand for staggering
indemnity. or an Allied move in some
other direction. II < H. ;, J

ASSH|P
SINKS IN COLLISION
Concrete Steamer Cape Fear
Goes to Bottom in Three
Minutes.

NEWPORT, r. l.. October 80 (by
the Associated Press) OF
the coast guard crew stationed here
reported early today that no trace
had been found of any, of the nineteen
missing members of the crew OF
thirty-four who were on the concrete
steamer Cape Fear when that vessel
was sunk in Narragansett bay last
night in a collision with the Savan-
nah line steamer City of Atlanta.
The coast guardsmen conducted an
a1l-night search and found only guam
titles Of wreckage. Points along the
shore also reported Wreckage, but
there was no word of the missing
men. Both vessels carried only their
crews.
The { pc Fear was struck amid
ships ano sank in three minutes about
half way between Castle Hill, on the
Newport shore, and Rose Island, go
ing down bow first in 125 fathoms, the
greatest depth in the bay.
The City Of Atlanta's bow was dam
aged badly. Her bulkheads held. how
ever, and she anchored in the bay
The Cape Fear went down so quickly
that the majority of the crew had to
lump into the water.
The Cape Fear, which had been ly-
ing at anchor in the harbor at Provi-
dence since last June, was outward
bound for Norfolk in ballast. The City
of Atlanta was bound from Savannah
for Providence with cargo of pig
iron.
Capt. Garfield Of the City of Atlanta,
describing the accident, said that he
picked up the lights Of the Cape Fear
and signaled with one whistle. which
was answered. He was bearing stead
lily to port, he said. with plenty of
clearance room when suddenly the
Cape Fear swung across his bow,
blowing two whistles as a signal after
she had turned to cross to the other
side. Capt. Garfield said he ordered
full speed astern, but could not avoid
the collision.
Possibly Twenty Lost.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., October 30.
Articles signed by the officers and
crew of the steamer Cape Fear show
that nineteen and possibly twenty
men were lost when the ship >foun-
dered off Newport last night. Most of
the crew shipped from New York, and
their addresses are not known to the
United States shipping commission
here.
No third officer signed the articles,
but one whose name is not known is
believed to have been aboard when
the Cape Fear sailed.

Two Offers of Four Million
and Slightly More Held
Inadequate.

Only two bids. both Of which were
rejected, were received today by the
Shipping Board for the great Hog
Island shipbuildings plant, near Phil.
adelphia.
The Barde Brothers, steel corpora-
ton of New York, bid a fiat 81. .o0o.-
900 and the New Jersey Machinery
Exchange of Newark bid $4.268.750.
AS the plant cost the government s7o.-
100000 when it was built during the
war, the bids were regarded bv Chair.
man Benson as entirely inadeouate
The Barde Company's offer was the
only one which had been submitted
when the board met to receive the
tenders. After this bid had been
opened the Newark company sub
mitted it's offer.
Before it was opened. notice was
given by Clarence w. De knight of
Washington. who said he represented
Frank M. Zeller of Philadelphia, that
litigation affecting the property was
pending in the courts of Pennsylvania,
two suits against the American Inter-
national Corporation. in which the
Shipping Board is Joined, and another
suit against the corporation alone, the
suits involving title to sixty three
acres of the waterfront of Hog Is
land.
Outcome of the suits will determine
whether the commonwealth of Penn
sylvania will grant title to the land
to Mr.. Zeller or to the American In
ternational Corporation, which con-
veyed the land to the Shipping Board,
the notice stated.
After Mr.. De Knight had served the
notice on the board. Chairman Benson
chided him for not bringing the mat-
ter to the attention of the board
earlier and wasting governments
time" by bringing the matter before
the board now.

PARIS, France, October 30.-French
opinion is showing signs of irritable
restiveness under the provocation of
what is regarded here as veritable
propaganda campaigning in the United
States against France. At moment
when the relations with Britain are
strained and those with Italy are none
too good and when the German cham
cellor is openly accusing the French
Of militarism, French leaders consider
it particularly painful to be obliged to
defend their country against attacks
from the United States.
The latest thrust is considered typical
of many others in the American news
papers. 1t is an article in the New
Republic of October 6, in which Felix
Frankfurter, professor in the Harvard
law school, adviser to the government
on labor matters, asserts that French
chauyinism and imperialism'' are alone
responsible for Europe's present Difficult
ties, and calls upon Wall street tQehIing
France to order by refusing credits.

First, that not France alone, but all

allies to ask France to reduce the
sum for reparations without guaran-
teeing the payment even of this re-
duced sum is unjust. and. finally, that

concessions to her debtor. Germany.

IRE OF FRENCH AROUSED
BY ATTACKS IN AMERICA

France would be unable to reimburse
the United States.
No Indemnity Collected.
Does the United States realize, NJ.
Aubert wonders, that France, which
has not received a single sou from
20.000,0OO.00O francs (normally s4.-
00.000,00O) for the reconstruction of
the devastated regions, and that ex-
cept for the amount of these advances
she has completely balanced her bud
get?
AS for the proposal to bring the
pressure of Wall street to bear upon
France. NJ. Aubert points out that
Frances chief Indebtedness is not to
Wall street; but to the United States
Treasury-that is to say. to the
American people. 1t seems to him
curious and inconsistent that Ameri-
can liberals. who would deplore the
use of dollar diplomacy" against
Mexico, should propose it against
France.

Why, asks NJ. Aubert, is the French

prestige. If France has been Obliged
to assume the costly and ungrateful
role of policing the plebiscite areas
it is solely because Britain and Italy
reduced their contingents of troops

Moreover. NJ Aubert adds, in failing
to ratify the Franco-Americ guar
anty pact, thus automatically annul-
ling the Franco-British guaranty pact
the United States prepared the way
for most of the MISUNDERSTANDING

entente.
