Four British Steamers Sun by German Submersible Commerce Raiderson Sunday Boston, Oct. 8. A German submarine supposedly the U-53, which called at Newport yesterday, today torpedoed and sank the Brit ish freight steawer Strathdene and torpedoed and crippled the British freighter Westpoint off Nantucket. No loss of life was reported. The submarine also held up the American freight steamer Kansas, but later allowed it to proced. , , . Newport, R. I., Oct. 8. The British, steamer Kingston has also been sunk. The crew of the Kingston were saved by an American destroyer. This word was received at the naval radio station tonight. No further details were given. - The torpedo boat destroyer Raich, reporting officially to the naval tation here by radio tonight, said that the British steamer Stephano had been torpedoed and sunk off Nantucket. Its crew was reported safe aboard the Raich. - - All the passengers and crew of the British steamer Stephano have been rescued. They are understood .to be aboard the American destroyer Batch. It is seated thai the Stephano had between eighty and ninety pas sengers on board, when it was stopped by the submarine, which later sank it Most of the passengers were1 tourists from New York, returning, home. All of the Americans on the Stephano, who were rescued by the destroyer Balch, were transferred tonight to the destroyer Jenkins. The number of Americans aboard was sot stated in the radio message re ceived here. -.; ' All members of the crew of the British steamer Westpoint hare been picked up by a torpedo boat destroper. TWO OTHER BOATS SENTTO BOTTOM One Is a Dutch Boat and Other Is Norweg ian Steamer Details Lacking. CREWS OF EACH SAVED BULLETIN. . , Boston, Oct. 8 Two more steam ers have been sunk by submarines. One it, the Dutch steamer, Bloom ersdijk and the other i the Nor wegian craft Chriatian Knudsen. Th crews of both vessels were picked up by the 'American torpedo destroyer Drayton and .'are being brought ino Newport. New York, Oct. 8. The British steamer Stephano, carrying nearly one hundred lrst and and second class passengers, including many American tourists, was sunk off Nantucket Light ship at 4:30 p. m. today, pre sumably by the German submarine U-53. The, United States torpedo boat destroyer Batch reported the Toss of the liner by radio to the naval station- here, ' stating .ithj(L3 the sliip had been torpedoed. ' The message from thr destroyer said that the crew and' passengers were safe aboard the Batch. Confirmation of the rescue was con tained in a later message sent by the destroyer to the naval station here. It was said that it had picked up the passengers and later had transferred the Americans to the destroyer Jen kins. Rear Admiral Knight, commandant of the Narragansett naval district, said that the passengers who so de sired would be allowed to remain on the warship until morning. At the same time, he saidt if any of those picked up wanted to be set on shore their wishes would be complied with as promptly as possible. Members of the so-called Newport society set were prompt to extend proffer of help te the ship-wrecked passengers through Admiral Knight. Mrs. Robert L. Beekman, wife of Governor Beechman and Mrs. French Vanderbitt volunteered to take care of as many refugees as possible. ; Many of the passengers on the Stephano are residents of New oYrk. Cargo Light The cargo loss of the Stephano, it was expected, would not be very heavy, as on its westbound voyage it usually carried little freight. This is marie up largely, as a rule, of fish, oil and other fish products. The vessel was in the regular ser vice of the Red Cross line and was bound from St. Johns, N. F. to New York. It was due in New York to morrow morning. Her agents were Bowring Co., Ltd., of Battery Flace, New York. The salcof the Stephano to the Rnssian government which had plan ned to use her as an ice breaker, was recently announced. Its sister ship, the Florizel of the same line, also had been sold to Russia for ice work. It was expected in marine circles that this was inteded as one of the last of the regular sailings of the Stephano, prior to her sailing for the White Sea. , Skillful Navigator. ' ' The liner was under command of Captain Smith, who had been in the company' employ for a number of years. He is 48 years old and he is known as a skillful navigator. Shipping men here conjectured that Captain Smith has taken the outside course in round ing Nantucket lightship and thereby had fallen like a ripe plum into the grip of the undersea raider. Ordinarily, the Stephano takes the inside course, if the weather ia fa vorable.

Lincoln,, Oct. 8. (Special.) Ac cording to a bulletin issued by Secre tary W. R. Mellor of the State Board of Agriculture, Nebraska raised less wheat this year than last but the crop is worth about $20,000,000 more. This is partly due to rite fact that there was an acreage of 352,574 less in 1916 than the former year, but was partly offset by an average yield of 1.6 bushels per acre more. The total acreage this year was 3, 063,756 acres and the yield 65,365,691 bushels. The total crop is valued at $78,438,829. as compared - with $58, 856.358 last year. . .. Clay county raised the largest crop, 2,430,417. bushels with Adams' county a close second with 2,411,803. Douglas county 1 raised 149,006 bushels on 6,7U acres; jui average ; of over twenty-two bushels to the acre. The highest average yield was in Chase county, being little over thirty-four and one-half bushels.. - Antilla Burning, But 1 Crew and Passengers Are Removed Safely Washington, Oct 8. Thk pas sengers and crew of the Ward line steamer Antilla from Guantanamo to New York, which last night was afire 120 miles off the Virginia capes, were being brought into Hampton Roads on the United States coast guard cut ter Onondaga.

' ; ' it We May Never Reach Home," Says Commander of Xlerman Submarine Newport, ' R. I-, Oct. 6. Colonel Ernest Voight, a German-American' of this city, who was one of those who went aboard the armed German sub marine, talked with the commander. Later Colonel Voight said it was ap- Sarent that the vessel visiting here ad been on the surface sometime, as its upper structure was well dried out and everything on deck was polished, as for visitors' day, Colonel Voight iA that rnmmanrlpr Rose had told: him little about the trip except that he had run submerged for virtually three days. He did not make known, why this was necessary. No warships were sighted from the time he left Wilhelmshaven until he met the D-2. The records showed, Voight said, that the vessel had submerged to a depth of 200 feet. The commander told him that his ship could make eighteen knots on the surface and twelve knots submerged. . "When do you expect to reach homeT Voight asked. The German commander smiled, thought second, and replied: "We may never reach home." Soon after the U-53 dropped anchor, a motorboat came alongside, having been , dispatched from the naval station to bring Commander Rose ashore.

London, Oct. 8. British and French have again joined forces in an extend ed attack against German lines on the Somme front. The British attacked from the Albert-Bapaunie road, while the French attack was along the line of the Pcronne-Bapaume road. Gains ranging from a quarter of a mite to two-thirds of a mile were made and the Angjo-French front was considerably straightened. The two forces now are engaged in an advance along the two sides of a triangle formed by the two roads, the apex of which is Bapaume. '". The British captured Sars, about a mile and a half northwest of Cource,- lette, while the French, according to the war office, attained all their ob jectives. A German armed submarine has made tho voyage across the Atlantic, arriving at Newport with official dis- f latches and departing a few hours ater. Allies Advance In Balkans.

He remained only 4 few minutes. Later Admiral Knight said that his caller had not told him where he was going, but merely that he would put to sea tonight. He added that they had only exchnged felicita tions. From the war college the Ger man commander went to the flagship and after a brief stay with Rear Ad miral Gleaves, returned to his shio. UA few minutes later the American admirals visited tne U-3J. the com mander told bis Visitors that it was his first visit to America. Soon after Admiral Knight and Admiral Gleaves had left the submarine, weighed anchor and turned its prow toward the open sea. - The pleasure boats that had hung about it started in pursuit, but they were soon outdistanced by the sub marine, which started away at a speed of eighteen knots. It sailed at 5:18 o'clock,, lighted from stem to stern, and traveling awash. At 7 o'clock, it had approached the limit of the three mile neutral zone off Brenton Reef. Here its wireless was dismantled, the lights went out and five minutes later it gently settled below the surface. All afternoon shore observers kept a sharp watch for the appearance of warships of the entente allies, which are supposed to be scouting aloug the. coast, but none appeared. I DR.
