activity and the admiraltys cau-
tious announcement that "a num-
Der of U-boats have been destroyed"
was taken by naval authorities to
tell story of far greater successes
than the guarded statement indi-
Gated.
Reich Blamed for Sinking.
Britain placed responsibility on
Germany for the sinking of the
8,000-ton Belgian motorship Alex
van Opstal last night in the Chan
mel off Weymouth, claiming she was
sunk by mine or torpedo in viola
ton of international law.
Un Brussels, Belgian authori-
ties refrained from lodging
protest pending a report from
the master of the vessel as to
whether she was sunk by tor
pedo or mineD
A British communique said there
were no British mines in the neigh
borhood, that Germany had sent
no notification of German mines
there and that attack without warn
ing YVES in violation of the subma-
rine protocol, to which Germany
subscribed
The Alex van Opstal left New
York September for Antwerp with
eight passengers and 3,400 tons of
grain.
Tanker Shelled, Set Afire.
Latest ship to be added to the list
of British losses was the tanker
Cheyenne of the Anglo American
Oil Co., which was of11cially an
nounced attacked and sunk by a
submarine of the southwest coast of
Ireland.
Messages from the captain indi-
Gated she was shelled and set aflre.
The crew, like that of the Alex van
Opstal, was rescued. The Norwegian
steamer Ida Bake, which already
had saved the survivors of the
sunken freighter British influence,
picked up all 81 members of the
Cheyennes crew.
The other new British losses were
the traWler Davara, destroyed in
the Irish Sea, and the freighter
Fanad Head. torpedoed in the At
lantic near the English Coast. The
crews were rescued.
The crew of the British tanker
Inverliffey, shelled to pieces Sep
tember 9, told how they huddled
around the coming tower of the
German submarine which had at
tackled them, while a tidal wave of
fire rolled over the sea from their
sinking ship.
Members of the Cheyenne's crew
had similar tale to tell. The SUBJ
marine which sank the tanker
stayed on the surface until the Ida
Bake hove into sight. The under
sea boat. they said. offered to tow
the lifeboats toward the British
Coast.
Patrol Widening Scope.
Chief consolation to shipping men
after announcement of plans for con-
voys was that the navy was hunting
submarines on an efficient pattern
They had, moreover, every faith that
submarines were speeding home for
rest, food, fuel and fresh shells ana
torpedoes at Kiel and that many
would be trapped on route.
Evidence that detection was in
creasing and the patrol widening its
scope was given by crew members
Of the Cheyenne. They said a Brit
ish destroyer was racing to the scene
while the submarine was destroying
the tanker. The destroyer later sunk

Church Interest Gaining
President Roosevelt stressed the

do you think interest in religion
in this community has increased
or decreased during the last few
years? the Institute asked.
The vote for the country as
whole divides evenly, but a closer
look shows an important difference
between rural and urban Ameii-
cans. The largest number of city
dwellers report that interest in
churches is increasing in their
communities. The largest number
of farmers and small-town people.

City Dwellers .............
Some reasons for an increasing
interest in the church and in reli-
gion, the comments of typical vot-
ers show. are u the influence of
the depression, 90 growing appre-
hension of another world war and
go disturbing news from other
parts of the world in general.
What Could Churches Do"
Churchmen and laymen will
learn much about the problems of
American churches when the U. S.
government regular Census of
Religious Bodies. due in 1887 but
postponed because of lack of APP
preparations, is made public short
~. The census will not attempt to
answer sp9h questions as What
could Churches do to increase the
interest of the public" however.
The Institute has put such q ques-
ton to the voters in today's sur
vey, and the result is a list of
hundreds of spontaneous sugges-
tions.
A majority of those interviewed
either thought there was nothing
the churches can do to increase
interest or were unable to make
any specific suggestions, but here
are the most frequent recommen-
dations. listed in the order of
mention:
/. Select ministers who are
more intelligent.
2. Arrange more social activi-
ties around the churches.
8. Become more modern and
liberal"
4. Eliminate hypocrisy"
5. stop emphasizing money and
contributions.
6. Let church people be more
friendly"
= Increase the number of serv-
ices"
s. apply sermons to everyday
matters"
9. Make special activities for
young people
10. Emphasize the Bible"
IL. stay out of politics.
u, Make services shorter"
Is. Manage to have more unity
among churches"
IA. Provide transportation for
those who need it.
Is. Improve church music"

Young Swedes Plan to
Probe Battles Depths

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN. = Two
young Swedes are preparing to
make a descent to the bottom of
one of the deepest parts of the Baltic
sea some time this month.
They are an engineer named Sven
Otto Placer and an architect named
Walter Williamson. They have
steel globe practically ready for
their venture.
The place they have selected for
their descent is off Landsort-con-
sidered to be the deepest spot in
the Baltic with a depth of about
230 fathoms.
The globe is provided with win
doWs from which observations can
be made and photographs taken.
The exact details of the interior
have not been made public, but it
is stated that the two men will be
comfortably accommodated. The in
tention is that the globe shall not
be attached to any line, but will
be free to roll on the bottom.
