SUBMARINE CHASES BOVIC
INTO NEW YORK HARBOR
% *
International News Service.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—The steam
ship Bovic arrived in port today and
the pilot reported a thrilling escap.
from a submarine. The pilot boarded
the Cunard freighter off Montault
point and had harly taken his plact
on the bridge when a submarine was
seen approaching from the port quar
ter. The Bovic put on all steam for
new York and oirdistanced the U-boat
which gave up the chase and was last
seen in pursuit of the Danship ship
i llellig Alav.
As the Hellif Alav is a slow boat
be point was#cf the opinion that the
submarine would easily overhaul her
and |iossibly sink her if she was
found to lie carrying cargo for the
allies.
This experience of the Bovie serves
to dispel the growing opinion that the
German Submarines had left the
coast and that the first raid was to
lie also the last. Shipping' circles are
much perturbed by the development
mid fear is expressed that ships re
cently sailing from this port may he
in great danger.
When the Bovic sighted the U-boat
no warships of any nationality wore
in sigh!. The British and French
cruisers searching for the German un
ite water craft and supposedly acting
.11 information are thus supposed to
have been eluded by the wily Ger
mans.''

NEAR UNITED STATES
Internationa.' News Service.
IBERIAN, Oct. It,—In the roich
slag today Cunt Von Reventlow spoke
strongly against carrying the subnia
■ >e warfare to the American coast.
He urged that submarine attacks
. n the enemy commerce as it leaves
American ports cannot have any de
ciding effort on the outcome of the
war, that it is attended with great
danger to the intrepid Germans who
engage in such attacks and that it
will tend to alienate the growing sym
pathy in America towards the father
land if it does not finally result in
serious difficulty with the government
of that country. For these and other
I reasons ho urges the cessation of such
operations.
He also states that from all the in
formation he has been able to obtain
there is only one submarine now off
the American coast and as the dam
age this single craft will in the future
lie able to inflict will be slight and as
it has already done all that can be ex
pected of it and more, having sunk
about ten ships and paralysed the
enemy shipping,, he urges that it be
withdrawn and the officers and crew
be suitably honored.
Count Von Reventlow’s speech met
with the hearty approval of the con
servatives.

CARSO FRONT
International News Service.
HOME, Oct. 14.--The official state
ment declares that the third day's
fighting on the t'arso plateau has re
sulted in decisive victory to the ltd
ians.
VAlong an eight mile front the Aus
trians have been invariably defeat
ed anti forced to retreat to other po
sitions. The Italian hold securely all
the former Austrian encroachments on
this long front and are crowding the
enemy at all points.
Experts declare that -the Austrian
! defense is showing increasing signs of
weakness which contrasts strongly
with the increasing strength of the
Italian offensive and the opinion pre
j vails that Austria is soon to receive
a blow that will stagger her and
cause her to summon every resource
I at her command.
TEUTONS EXPERTS FIGURE
ENORMOUS ALLIED LOSSES
International News Seivice.
BERLIN, Oct. It. .Militar\ critics
have been freels discussing the recent
operations on the Somme and against
Russia in the public prints and agree
that the entente allies suffered terrific
losses without any gain or advantage
worth noting and without inflicting
any proportionate loss on the Teuton
ic allies.
These critics assert that the result
of three months' fighting on the Sout
ine front has been the practical onnl
I filiation of the .allied British and
1-Tench army of one million, eight hun
dred thousand men. It is because this
great host of men has been slaught
ered in vain attempts to break the
derman line on this scctoi that the
allied pressure has not been so strong
for the past fortnight and the fighting
has been for the most part by long
| ■" nge artillery. The enemy has rmi
in i'ii able to replace those killeil in
reckless drives in spite of the eon
imial stream of men leaving England
j as fast as 'ransports can transfer
| teem.
It is beeause of this lack of men
| that England is making renewed ef
forts to gain recruits and, the experts
... y, the one weakness of France and
England today is lack of human tun
terial for the continuance of the war.
All other material, it is conceded, thoj
are well supplied with.
The critics also say that Itussiu
j lias thrown one million men into the
j vortex in during the same three
I months and has gained nothing. Rus
| sia is acknowleged in have an abund
ance of men but it lacks military
equipment and above till military skill
to make these unnumbered hordes of
any value in warfare.
The critics concede that h. German
losses have been large but not b»
vond the country's ibility to sustain.
Arguing from the past three months
these experts maintain that tin all
require only time in which t<> waste
[their entire stock of available human
u i material and after th* lapse of
lhet time they will be compelled to sin
• for peace because of utter oxh; ustk a.
r, h»* position of tie fatherland With
jus lines unbroken at all pom' tel
def* nded by a minimum of m* » w
cannot be overcome and with an in
ctetsiip. reserve for use in emerg
encies, this unassailable position of
the country, say the critics, mala
Germany undoubtedly vicior win n !

I BOILERMAKERS'
STRIKE TO END
ON MONDAY
1 SAN FUANSISCO, Oct. 14.—The
strike of the boiler makers and ship
titters at the Union Iron Works will
probably come to an end on Monday.
I This announcement followed a cou
j fere ms- called by the mayor between
representatives of the strikers and m .
fleials nf 'he company.
> Tlie position of the strikers was
I greatly weakened by the refusal of
boilermakers and ship litters employ
ed tit other plants to poin in a gen
<rol strike. The Union Iron Works
officials are disposed to make conces
sions to their men on account of the
Immense amount of work on hand and
the pendency of other orders. So in
view of all the facts the mayor feels
Jit-lifted lit stating that the strike will
be settled no later than Monday.
OPPOSE AMERICAN CONCESSION.
Pacific News Service.
PEKIN, Oct. 14.—Japan and Russia
have united in a protect to the Chinese
government against granting the pro
posed railway concession to Ameri
cans. This is line with the policy of
the new allies which is to dominate
China and all things Asiatic. Amer
ican money has so far been kept out
of China with very few small excep
tions by the guiding hand of Japan
and there is little reason to expect
that she will not have her way in the
present instance.

NEWS NOTES.
The latest announcement from the ^
IVtciflc Steamship office is to the ef- ;
feet that the Umatilla will reach the]
r'.ads.t.vcl at 6 o’clock tonight and that
lighters will take passengers aboard
at g o’clock.
Deputy United States Customs Col
lector It. W. J. Reed calls attentionl to
a curious coincidence in regard to the
shipments of gold from this port. On
October 13 last year the amount of
gold sent away was$409, 387.54. Yes
terday, Oetobcr 13, just a year later,
the amount was $410,360.11. That
these shipments exactly a year apart
should vary less than a thousand dol
lars is indeed rather odd.
While AI CSawn of the lighting com
pany was doing some work at the res
idence of Dr. Fromm ho cut his wrist
in some way, with his jackknife and
severed an artery from which blood
gushed freely. Quenching the tlow of
blood as best he could he made for
Dr. Chace's office where he was treat
ed. Despito rumors to the contrary
the wound was not serious. Dr. Chace
says, and his patient was soon on the
street.

there was only one incident of import
ance during the day. This occurred
when the police searched the house

A hospital ambulance was sum
