London, Oct. 2.—A telegram from
Amsterdam says that Austria Is
about to send an ultimatum to Ru
mania demanding the free passage
of munitions to Turkey.
This information was received in
Amsterdam from Cologne and for
warded by the correspondent of the

message says Austria’s ultimatum
will be couched in friendly terms,
and that a short interval will be
given in which Rumania may reply.
Paris, Oct. 2.—Reports originat

on the Serbian front appear to have
been greatly exaggerated, in the
light of advices received here.
These reports gave the size of
the Teutonic army as 200,000 to
600,000 men. It is now known that
only about 60,000 men are threat

Indianapolis. Ind., Oct. 4.-—How
President Wilson led his cabinet In
prayer at a recent meeting was told
here yesterday by Bishop William P.
Anderson, of Cincinnati, at a session
of the Indiana Methodist Episcopal
conference. A United States senator
told the bishop of the incident, he said.
The senator had heard it from one
;>f the cabinet members who prayed
r witli the president.
"When the president arrived at the
cabinet meeting.” said the bishop, “his
face wore a solemn look. It was evi
ient that the serious affairs of the
nation were on his mind. He said to
the cabinet members, "I don’t know
whether you men believe in prayer or
not. I do. Uet us pray and ask the
help of God.”

Washington. D. C„ Oct. 4.—Tho
American naval policy for the coming
your, tentative plans for which recog
nized the submarine development of
European submarine warfare and make
provision for a large number of under
sea boats, will be broadly affected by
the British admiralty's development of
successful means for combatting the
submarine peril.
Confidential reports to the United
States government disclosing that the
destruction from 50 to 70 submarines
- had been effected by the use of nets,
t submarine telephones, new types of
T mines and by covering the submarine
area with a fleet, of thousands of high
speed motorboats armed with rapid
fire guns have fulfilled the convictions
of American naval experts that means
would be found to successfully combat
undersea warfare. Likewise these re
ports have reaffirmed the faitli of
American experts in the all-big gun
ship—the dreadnaught—as the effec
tive lighting force of any navy.
Will Apply Lesson.
One immediate development of this
newest lesson drawn from the Euro
pean war probably will be provision
in the new naval bill for continued ad
ditions to the dreadnaught fleet instead
of building submarines on such an ex
tensive scale as has been desired by
many. ■
. It is plain, however, that the develop
ment of successful means of repelling
submarine warfare will not mean the
abandonment of substantial additions
to the American submarine fleet. The
new naval building program probably
will include more than the usual num
ber of submarines and they will all be
of tlie high speed, seagoing cruiser
type, carrying rapid fire guns recently
developed in the naval gun factory,
but the official plan will not contem
plate development of the submarine
arm of the service at the expense of
tlie big gun ships.
New methods of offense and defense
that may revolutionize naval warfare
have been adopted, and high British
naval officers are of tho opinion that
unless the effectiveness of (lie subma
rine is increased it wall no longer con
stitute tlie menace that it has to com
merce and battle fleets.
The British censorship has prevented
the disclosure of details concerning the
developments, but within the last three
weeks confidential reports to various
government departments from repre
sentatives in European capitals of neu
tral as well ns belligerent countries,
have confirmed the British admiralty’s
view that an effective means of dealing
with the submarine has been found.
These reports are being closely scru
tinized on account of tlie bearing they
may have upon the naval policy of the
United States. They reaffirm officers
of the navy in their conviction that the
dreadnought still in the mainstay in
warfare on sea and tend to dissipate
tlie profound impression by the spec
tacular and for a long time apparently
unsupported operations of the German
U-boats around tlie British isles.
Celebrate Achievement.
A dinner was given recently in Lon
don, wiiich while not a formal state af
fair. was attended by high government
officials, in celebration of the destruc
tion of the 50th under water enemy.
Reports of the dinner apparently were
suppressed by the censor in accord
ance with Great Britain's policy of
keeping Germany in doubt as to how
many of the boats have been destroyed.
Although greatest secrecy is thrown
around the means employed, the United
States government has information
concerning the principle methods which
have been successful in meeting the
German war zone campaign. A sub
marine telephone has been developed
by which it is possible to detect the
sound of approaching submarine from
observation boats or stations planted
off shore and connected with points in
the mainland. For tlie capturing of
craft whose presence has not been de
tected or even suspected, the govern
ment’s representatives describe bow
huge nets have been stretched across
the channels through which the sub
marines may be expected to attempt
to pass. In open waters, near steam
ship lanes or in the vicinity of war
ships. nets suspended between floats
have been spread broadcast. Armed
patrol boats watch, and when the
floats disappear beneath the water,
showing that a submarine has become
entangled, the patrols congregate at
the place. When the victim comes to
tlie surface, as it inevitably must to
disentagle itself, it is destroyed by gun
fire or captured.
A special type of mine has been
devised that has proved particularly
dangerous to submarines approaching
steamer lanes.
Discover Supply Bases.
The German methods of supplying
submarines with oil and provisions
either at sea or from concealed places
all along the coasts of the British isles
have been ferreted out and practically
disposed of. This compels the boats to
return to their bases at more frequent
Intervals and leaves them only a com
paratively short time In position or
equipped for effective duty.

DENY HAMPERING
AMERICAN TRADE
Britain Submits Statistics to
Show Re-Exports Have Not
Increased Like Those
of United States.
Washington, D. C.. Oct. 4.—Great
Britain's answer to reports circulated
in this country that she has been in
terfering with legitimate trade of the
United States with neutral nations, is
given in a note handed to Ambassador
Page at London by Sir Edward Grey,
the foreign minister, and made public
here by the state department.
The note, which is in response to the
British ambassador's report of a ref
erence at the state department to the
unfavorable impression created here
by reports of increases in British trade
with northern European countries
since the war began, suggests that
statements concerning Great Britain’s
policy have been inspired by German
agents.
As tending to illustrate that Ameri
can commerce witli neutral nations has
not been hampered by the British or
der in council or the activities of the
British navy the following llgures are
suhmitted.
British re-exports of cotton to Hol
land and the Scandinavian countries
January to May, 1915, 503,895 centals
of 100 pounds each; United States ex
ports to same countries, 3,353,638
centals as compared with 204,177 cen
tals for same perior in 1914.
British re-exports of rubber to Hol
land and Scandinavian countries Jan
uary to May, 1914, 17,726 centals; Jan
uary to May, 1915, 16,693 centals. Uni
ted States exports of rubber to same
countries, January to May, 1914, 1,579
centals; January to May, 1915, 5,040
centals.
British re-exports of lubricating oils
to Holland and Scandinavian countries
increased 709,370 gallons while United
States exports to same countries in
creased 3,857,593 gallons.
British re-exports of unmanufac
tued tobacco of the same countries
show a gain of 2,937,244 pounds, whTie
United States exports increased 6,081,
S48 pounds.
British re-exports of cocoa increased
11,500,000 pounds, while United States
exports increased 16.000,000 pounds.
British re-exports of coffee were
263,488 hundred weights, while the
United States exports were 285,760
hundred weights, an increase from 7,
376 hundred weights.
British re-exports of wheat flour to
same countries increased 47,046 hun
dred weights while United States ex
ports increased 2,555,953 hundred
weights from January to May, 1915.
Sir Edward Grey’s statement adds:
“I could point to many other in
stances of similar proportionate in
creases in the exports of the United
States to Scandinavia and The
Netherlands as compared with exports
to the same countries from the United
kingdom during the last five months.
In respect, to the great majority of ar
ticles for which figures of United
States trade can be given the increase
in this trade are greater, and in some
cases very considerably greater than
the increases in the United kingdom
trade.
"In many cases increases in United
kingdom re-exports are due to the
fact that the products of British In
dian and colonial products, which for
merly went direct to continental ports,
such as Hamburg, Rotterdam or Co
penhagen, are now sent to the United
kingdom and thence distributed to old
customers In Scandinavian countries
and The Netherlands. Among such
may be mentioned, paper, cinnamon and
other spices (largely the product of
the British East Indies), Indian tea,
palm kernels (mainly from British
West Africa) and copra (mainly from
the Straits settlements and Austra
lia). The direct trade of the British
overseas dominions with the port of
Hamburg alone is very great in nor
mal times.
PRESIDENT TO VOTE
FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Wilson Is Expected to Favor
Measure in New Jersey—
Holds It State Issue.
Washington, II. O ,. Oet. 2.—Presi
dent Wilson is expected shortly to an
nounce his intention of voting for the
New Jersey state constitutional amend
ment granting suffrage to women. A
special election on the amendment will
he held October 19, and the president
will go to Princeton to vote. Secretary
Tumulty, whose home is in Jersey
City, said today he expected to vote for
the woman suffrage amendment, it was
reported that Secretary Garrison, who
is also from New Jersey, had author
ized the statement that he would vote
for woman suffrage.
The president on several occasions
has refused to support an amendment
to the federal constitution to give na
tion-wide woman suffrage. He has said
he believed the question to be a state
issue. Rcently he said he w'ould make
known ills position on woman suffrage
before the amendment to the New Jer
sey constitution was voted upon.
Paris. Oct. 4.—It is reported from
Athens that Bulgarian troops from
Sofia are moving in the direction of
the Serbian frontier, and that other
forces are being dispatched toward the
Greek border.
This information was forwarded to
day by the Athens correspondent of the
Havas News agency, who asserts it
was obtained from a reliable source. It
Is believed the principal point of con
centration will be along the upper
Strouma river, southwest of Sofia, near
the Serbian border.
Milan. Italy, (via Paris). Oct. 4.—
Bulgaria is mobilizing all men up to
the age of 58 years, according to the
Corriere Della Sera Bucharest corre
spondent. No citizen under 45 is per
mitted to leave the country, and mar
tial law has been proclaimed. Pro
Gorman manifestations are reported in
Bulgarian cities .along the Danube.
Bulgarian artillery, the correspond
ent asserts, is being massed along the
frontier of Dobrudja, a part of Ru
mania bounded by the Black sea and
the Danube, which was taken from
Bulgaria in 1878 and given to Rumania.

ALLIES URGED TO STRIKE
FIRST BLOW IN BALKANS
London. Oct. 4.—The situation on
the eastern front is still regarded in
London as of the greatest immediate
Importance, notwithstanding the new
offensive In the west. To transfer the
center of gravity of the war to the
western front is the task now before
the French and British.
The menacing attitude of Bulgaria
doubtless is having a marked bearing
an the activity of the allies in France
jnd Belgium for increasing pressure
on the German lines would exert a de
cided influence on plans of the Aus
trians and Germans to concentrate a
heavy force on the Serbian frontier,
Bhouid they commit themselves to a
fresh campaign in the Balkans with
the assistance of Bulgaria. That na
tion now occupies, as Foreign Secre
tary Grey phrased it yesterday, the
position Turkey held during those
weeks of uncertainty before she cast
her lot openly with the central powers.
Some sections of the British press
are urging Greece and the allies to
strike quickly the Instant it is deter
mined that diplomacy is no longer able
to avert a crisis.
"To wait until Bulgaria actually
moves,” says the Manchester Guar
dian, “is to surrender the strategic
Inititive to her. Between an Austro
German attack on Serbia and a Bul
garian attack there is no practical dif
ference. For the allies the moment of
decision has come. As soon as they
are convinced Bulgaria is determined
to make war they should dispatch an
ultimatum to her and give her the
choice of peace or war.
"Should Bulgaria accomplish the -
Germanic design of linking Berlin .
with Constantinople,” the Guardian I
continues, "a very grave change will
have come over the complexion of the |
war in this zone, a region where a
far reaching result might be achieved I
hy the allies with relative speed and •
economy. * * * The strategical in- '
iative must not he frittered away by /
faith in meaningless hopes or fear of i
resolute action." I
GERMAN OFFICERS WILL
DIRECT BULGARIAN ARMY
London. Oct. 2.—Foreign Secretary
Grey announced this afternoon that
German and Austrian officers wepe ar
riving in Bulgaria to direct the Bul
garian army. The secretary said this
tvas a fact which the allies regard
'with the utmost gravity.”

BIG BUT SANE NAVAL
PROGRAM IS PLANNED
Daniels to Ask Congress for Approximately $225,000,000—
Large Increase in Personnel His Aim—Believed Con
gressmen Will Favor Proposed Expenditures.
Washington. Oct. 4.—The navy de
partment estimates, as they are now
planned by Secretary Daniels and
leading navy officials, will provide for
a total expenditure cf $225,000,000. This
is the information which came today
from high sources, and is believed to
represent the approximate figures on
naval expenditures which the admin
istration will recommend to congress.
Not less than four new superdread
naughts and a number of swift battle
cruisers and many smaller craft with
ample provision for submarines and
aeroplanes will be recommended.
The estimate of $225,000,000 would
be, roughly speaking, about $75,000,000,
more than the usual outlay on the
navy. It would mean a large outlay
for warship construction. It is cal
culated by the navy department that
If $226,000,000 a year could be had for
three years, then the country could
settle down to an expenditure of about
$200,000,000 a year for the navy as a
steady policy, and in doing this keep
the fleet up to the standard needed to
meet all probable requirements as to
preparedness.
It would keep the navy up to a point
which would make it the best navy in
the world next to that of England.
Whatever may be the fate of army
expenditures at the coming session,
it is believed congress will appro
priate liberally to the navy.
A large increase of personnel is one
of the things for which Secretary
Daniels will provide in the estimates
and an increased number of cadets at
Annapolis.
TIGRIS EXPEDITION
HALTED TURKS SAY
Constantinople Advices Declare
the British Drive Toward
Bagdad Has Been
Turned Back.
Constantinople, (via London), Oct.
4.—Announcement v.as made by the
war office today (hat the British forces
In Mesopotamia were repulsed in the
recent fighting. The report follows:
“On September 27 the British re ■
sumed the offensive. The battle was
very violent and lasted until evening,
but the attack finally failed, notwith
standing the fact that the British
forces were four times stronger than
ours.
“On the Irak front our advanced de
tachments on September 28 surprised a
hostile force which landed on the bank
of the Tigris, north of Korna, under
the protection of gunboats. We in
flicted heavy losses on them."
Announcement was made in the
house of commons Wednesday that the
British, under General Nixon, had de
feated the Turks, who were said to
be in full retreat toward Bagdad.
In a dispatch. General Nixon report
ed that one position carried by the
British constituted a long line of de
fenses astride the Tigris river. Seven
miles east of Kut, two brigades crossed
the river from the right bank and by
a forced march reached the left wing
of the Turkish position, carrying it by
assault. By nightfall the whole posi
tion had been carried.
The Turkish losses in dead were de
scribed as severe. The Turks clung
to their trenches with great tenacity,
and these were filled with corpses when
the British carried them.
General Nixon gave the British cas
ualties as “under 600.”
MILLIONS IN PRIZES
FOR BRITISH SEAMEN
London, Oct. 2.—The amount of prize
money for officers and men of the navy
which has accumulated during the war
is said by the Morning Post to be $20,
000,000. None of this has been dis
tributed and the Post makes the com
plaint that purchases by the govern
ment of confiscated cargoes deprives
the navy of prize money.
STRIKE IS AVERTED.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 2.—Leaders of the
