SUB VICTIMS ARE
THOUGHT LOST
Divers Get No Response To
Continued Tappings On
Crafts Hull.

Provincetown, Mass.-Rear Admiral
Frank H. Brumby in charge of sal
wage operations of the sunken sub
marine S-4, admitted that there was
no longer hope that life existed on
board the submarine.
81 have not the slightest doubt
that there is no life on the S-4," Ad-
miral Brumby said.
The admiral said he was unable to
announce when rescue operations
would be suspended.
'That is up to the navy department
in Washington" he said, 1--WE have
been keeping Washington informed
and action on suspension of opera
lions must come from there"
All the officers directing salvage
work here agreed with the admiral
that there was no longer room for
hope for the six men imprisoned in
the torpedo room of the submarine.
Admiral Brumby's statement was
made lis hours after the S-4 was
sent to the bottom in collision with
the coast guard destroyer Padding.
Thirteen hours had passed since air
lines were attached to the listening
tube of the S-4 and air forced into
the torpedo room.
Since rescue operations were re-
sumed after being held up for two
days by gales, the oscillator OF the
mine sweeper Falcon, flagship OF the
salvage fleet, had sent signals at Is
minute intervals to the 81. There
has been no sound from the sunken
ship.
Trapped beyond hope of escape in
their shattered steel cage, not man
of the submarines crew was believed
to have escaped.
Divers who went down to survey
the hull of the submarine, rammed
and sunk by the coast guard cutter
Paulding, brought back the pathetic
story of an undersea conversation con-
Quoted on either side by rappings on
the steel hull. "How long will you
be-" was the question asked and re.
peated by six men, perhaps the sole
survivors of the S-4 crew from their
prison in the forward torpedo com.
partment of the vessel. But the only
answer the rescuers could give to the
plea was a qualified one.

LINDY'S MOTHER
REACHES MEXICO
Hop From Tampico To Mexico
City Is Made on Schedule
Time.

Valbuena Flying Field, Mexico City
The Lone Eagles mother made
aviation history herself, when, fol-
lowing the overhead trail of her IL
lustrious son, Mrs. Evangeline Lind
bergh landed at Valbuena flying field.
She was the first woman ever to fly
from the United States to Mexico
City.
Mrs. Lindbergh came straight from
Tampico where she hoped off on the
last stretch of her flight from De-
troit.
Flying his spirit Of st. Louis"
Colonel Lindbergh went out to meet
her, and two Mexican military planes
followed moment later. Soon the
planes were seen returning, and as
the big Ford machine swept over the
field, Mrs. Lindbergh carried in each
hand the flags of Mexico and the Uni
ted States.
General Alvarez, presidential chief
Of staff, was the first to greet Mrs.
Lindbergh. He stepped into the cab
in of her plane and extended warm
welcome to her in behalf of President
Gales, at the same time presenting
the presidents bouquet.
Ambassador and Mrs. Morrow fol-
lowed General Alvarez and greeted the
noted woman heartily. She stepped
out of the cabin amid cheers of about
1000 people who had assembled wav-
ing the flags of the two republics.
The ambassadors automobile was
about to start, when Colonel Lind
bergh came hurrying across the field
to meet his mother.
The visit of Mrs. Lindbergh as the
guest of the American ambassador
and Mrs. Morrow is interpreted by
the Mexicans generally and the Mexi-
can government as another gesture Of
good will and friendliness from the
United States.

BILLION DOLLAR
CHRISTMAS TRADE
SHOPPING STARTS

Work of handling more ~lhan a
billion dollars of Christmas trade will
start in earnest tomorrow. One bill
lion dollars is considered by trades
men as a conservative estimate OF
the Christmas shopping that is COM
ing lid for the Yuletide of 1927 which
they claim is one of the most pros
porous years in American history
1t includes all features of mercantile
endeavor from the tinieSt and S1mpl-
est gift to the high priced articles
and takes care of every member OF
the family in the hints of thought
fulness that are given them as tokens
of esteem by the other members.
Merchants in Douglas have prepared
for their greatest Christmas trade
and generally speaking, the. people
of Douglas are ready to do their
share Of the buying.
Handling billion dollars worth
of business in addition to the current
business that is required to keep the
larders of the homes supplied and
avenues of business functioning will
require the cooperation of every IN
dividuaI buyer Merchants point out
that this cooperation must come In
action on the part OF the buyers to
get their Christmas features as early
as conveniently may be arranged.
Where that is done, it operates as
an advantage for both the tradesman
and the shopper. The latter is more
certain of getting desirable selection
and the tradesman is enabled to give
a little better service.
Mailing Christmas renembrances
is one of the features of Christmas
trade that merchants and postal
officials urge be attended to early.
Those who send gifts want them to
arrive in time to be opened on
Christmas morning and if they are
properly wrapped and sent even now
with caution to the addressee not tc
open until Christmas day, they will
be certain to get to the intended
destination on time and at the same
time help to distribute the load Of
the United States mail out little
more evenly over the time between
now and Christmas
The Dispatch carries, each day, a
little reminder of the need for action
on the part of the shoppers. Those
who need caution will have no reason
to be sorry for neglect if they will
do their share of shopping early BY
starting it from this day.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Nov 90 Embarrassing
estimates of the Argentine exportable
wheat surplus and rapid piling up Of
the world available supply did much
today to force wheat prices down.
Closing quotations on wheat were
heavy, %c to 1c net lower with corn
nc to 5sc off, oats unchanged to asc
UP and provisions varying from &c de-
cline to rise of Csc. M
An unexpected sudden downturn IN
wheat values tSG Liverpool gave an
early advantages today to the selling
side of the wheat market here. 1ndi-
cations pointed to prospective large de-
liverieS on December wheat contracts
at Liverpool and it was stated that not
only were Argentine offerings to Eur
ope increasing but were also 35c a
bushel cheaper. On top of this came
unofficial estimates that the Argentine
yield of wheat this season would total
245, ,O0O,O0 bushels, an amount mate
rally surprising the most recent
previous forecast.
Toward the end of the day, sugges-
ton were current that Argentina would
have as much as 16O,000,000 bushels ex-
portable surplus and it was announc-
ed that the worlds available, supply
had increased 5,742O0O bushels for the
week, making the aggregate 284, ,333, 900
bushels against 44,225,O0O year ago.
Under such circumstances and with
fresh notice being taken of the big
supplies in Canada moving swiftly to
seaboard, the market here finished but
little above the days lowest level. .a
Evening up of December accounts
by active traders who were making
requirements in May promised large
part of the business. Exports from
North America we're slow, about 250,000
bushels all told.
Corn went lower with wheat. A
forecast of colder weather had some
bearish effect OH corn as being likely
to promote husking- and facilitate the
movement Of the crop. Oats gave
evidence of considerable demand from
investors.
Provisions were easier early but
rallied despite lower quotations on
hogs Some improvement was noted
in the call for meats.
