WORK OF OILY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9— Depart-
ment officials have come to the con-
clusion that bo far none of Germany s
promises to the United States ami
none of the rules of international law
have been broken in the submarine ■
raids off the New England coast. No
official announcement of this view
was made, but it is known to have
been reached after a review of such
Reports as are available.
The announcement that the secre-
tary of state would confer with the
president confirmed the impression
gained here earlier in the day that the
American government considered the
attacks on vessels off the American
coast by a German submarine as
fraught with grave possibilities. At
the mine time It was made clear that
there is nothing in the reports so far
received to show that the international
law or the earlier promises of Ger-
many have been violated. Concern
over the situation centered chiefly
about the possibility of what m.ght
happen If the submarine attacks are
c ntinued.
The position of the American gov-
ernment and its determination to
make a full nvestlgatlon before act-
ing was made clear in the following
statement given out by the president:
"The government will, of course,
first inform Itself as to nil the facts,
that there may be no doubt or mis-
take as far as they aw concerned.
The country may rest assured that the
German government will be held to
the. complete fulfillment of Its prom-
ises to the government of the United
States. I have no right now to ques-
tion its willingness to fulfill them.'
Von HernstorfTe VMt.
Count Von Bernstorff, the German
a bassador, who came here today to
give the president a personal letter
from the German emperor on Polish
relief, discussed with President Wil-
son the new activities of German sub-
marines. It was understood that the
president made it clear that whtle the
American government had no Inten-
tion of interfering with the legitimate
activities of submarines. It would In-
sist on the strict observance of the
pledges given previously by the Ger-
man government.
The ambassador, while expressing
an entire lack of official information
from his government on the new sub-
marine uttacks, said that Germany
had promised to conduct her subma-
rine warfare In accordance with the
rules of cruiser warfare.

'THAT HAUNTING QUESTION"
NEWPORT, ft. I., Oct. 9.—The
wholesale raid on foreign shipping
south of Nantucket lightship Sunday
was the work of one submarine, ac-
cording to reports of American naval
officers. Bear Admiral Albert Gleaves,
commanding the torpedo boat de-
stroyer flotilla which did such re-
mar4able speedy rescue work yester-
day, said tonight that the reports of
all his officers agreed that to the
best of their observation one raider
only was concerned. This boat pre-
sumably was the German U-53, which
called ut Newport Saturday.
Admiral Oleaves suid he could
easily understand the positive state-
ments of the captain of the Nantucket
lightship and of sailors of the tor-
pedoed vessels that more than one
submarine was concerned. The U
boat, he said, was very fast and ap-
peared to have been handled cleverly.
It was easy, he pointed out, for her
to disappear on one side of a ship
and then show up unexpectedly, at an-
other spot. Doubtless, h» believed, J
sho had submerged and re-appearea I
often enough to mislead any but a I
keen professional observer and to I
create the impression that more than
ofie sea terror was operating.
This opinion would seem to be borne
out by the statements of many of the
refugees that the submarine had more
business on hand than she could take
care of at once and was obliged to
request one steamer to wait her turn
while another was being put out of
commission. Lieutenant Commander
Miller of the destroyer Ericsson, who
witnessed the destruction of the Ste-
phano, said he was positive that only
one submarine was in the vicinity at
the time.
Six Known Victims.
Today the raiding had ceased, at
leust for the moment. The known list
of the victims of the U boat's Sunday
exploits remains at Six, notwithstand-
ing repoits from th6 Nantucket light-
ship that three other ships, the iden-
tity of which could not be learned,
were sunk. There laso was a persist-
ent rumor, without verification, that a
British cruiser, one of the allied
patrols to be sent to the submarine
zone, had been attacked.
Ten more refugees were landed here
tonight by the Mavllle, tender of the
destroyer flotilla, which picked up ten
Chinese members of the crew of the
steamer Strathdene.
Destroyers swept the waters on a
wide area today in a vain search for
the crew of the steamer Kingstonlan,
who were S'-en from the steamer
Strathdene to take to their boats.
Hear Admiral Knight, commander of
he Narragansett Bay naval defense
district, did not appear to be alarmed
at the lack of success In finding the
missing men. and saw no reason to
change the previous reports that the
raid, so destructive to property, was
accomplished without loss of life.
Notwithstanding the lull In subma-
rine activities today, shipping men
were by no means reassured.
The Rescue Work.
Hear Admiral Gleaves, commander
of the torpedo flotilla, disclaimed in a
statement tonight any prior knowledge
of the intentions of the German U
boat.
"My only information," he said,
"was contained in a S. 0. S. message
which said that steamer West point
had been sunk and that her crew had
taken to the boats. The natural thing
to do was to order out every available
vessel to search ft>r. the crew."
Admiral Gleaves received today
from various sources, official and
otherwise, commendation for the res-
cue work of the various vessels under
his command. He also received a
number of offers of aid and supplies
for the care of the survivors. Ad-
miral Gleaves expressed his apprecla-
tlo::, but stated that the survivors
were amply taken care of.
A testimonial of appreciation for
the r.sslstance rendered by the flotilla,
particularly the aid given by Lieut.
Commander D. C. Hnarahan and the
men of the destroyer Balch, who
picked up the passengers from the
Red Cross line steamer Stephano, was
signed by the passengers and crew of
the liner.

LONDON, Oct. 9.—The text of the
memorandum recently sent by the
entente allies to neutral governments
respecting tho admission of belllger
ent submarines In neutral waters or
jorts follows:
"In view of the development of sub-
marine navigation and by reason of
acts which In the present circum-
stances mny bo unfortunately ex-
pected from enemy submarines, the
allied governments consider it neces-
sary in order not only to safeguard
their belligerent rights and liberty of
commercial navigation but to avoid
risks of dispute, to urge neutral gov-
ernments to take effective measures
if they have not already done so with
a view to preventing belligerent sub-
marine vessels, whatever the purpose
to which they are put, frfom making
use of neutral waters, roadsteds and
ports.
"In the case of submarine vessels,
the application of the principles of
the laws of nations Is affrrted by spec-
ial and navel conditions: First, by the
fact that these vessels can navigate
and remain at sea submerged and can
thus escape oil control and observa
tion; Second, by the fact that It Is
impossible to Identify them and es-
tablish their national character,
whether neutral or belligerent, com-
batant or non-cotnbatant and to re-
move the capacity for harm inherent
in the nature of such vessels.
"'It may further be suid that any
place which provides a submarine
warship far from Its base with an op-
portunity for rest and replenishment
of Its supplies thereby furnishes such
addition to its powers that the place
becomes in fact through the ad
vantages which It gives, a base of
naval operations.
"In view of the stale of affairs thus
existing the allied governments are
of the opinion that submarine vessels
should be excluded frfom the benefit
of the rules hitherto recognized by the
laws of nations regarding the admis-
sion of the vessels or war or mer-
chant vessels Into neutral waters,
roadsteds or ports and their sojourn
In them. Any belligerent submarine
entering a neutral port should be de-
tained there.
"The allied governments tuke this
opportunity to point to the neutral
powers the grave danger Incurred by
neutral submarines in tho navigation
og regions frequented by belligerent
submarines."

Pacific railway, now In receivership,
das filed with the Missouri public
service commission today. The plan
provides for a stock assessment of $50.
PARIS. Oct. 9.—The steamship
Gallia, an auxiliary cruiser carrying
2,000 Serbian and French soldiers was
torpedoed and sunk on October 4 by
a submarine. Thirteen hundred men
were picked up by a French cruiser
and landed in boats on tho southern
coast of Sardivine, and have beeeu
accounted for thus far.
The Gallia was a 15,100 ton steam-
ship 574 feet long and 64 feet beam.
She was built In the Seine In 1913
and owned by the Compagnle de Navi-
gation Sud Atllntiquc of Bordeaux.
She was one of the larger vessels sunk
during the war, having been only 700
tons smaller than the White Star liner
Arabic.
Marly this year Servian troops were
taken to Bizerta, Tunis, which Is
south o£ Sardinia. The Gallia may
have been on her way from Tunis
with troops for the Macedonian front.

President and liaising Will Confer.
Apparently satisfied with the record
of at least six boats sunk Sunday or
possibly short of torpedoes, the Ger-
man submarine raids on steamers off
Nantucket was not continued Monday.
Meanwhile, however, the operations of
the German undersea craft so close to
the American shore has created a sit-
uation which President Wilson and
Secretary of State Lansing will dlscusa
Tuesday at Shadow Lawn, the presi-
dent's summer home. Already the
president has announced that Germany
"will be held to the complete fulfill-
ment of Its promises to the United
States" concerning submarine war-
fare.

British and two neutral vessels which
have been brought In by persons who
were aboard some of them. Indicate
that no lives were lost In the hurried
transfer from the steamers to the
ship's small boats. Torpedo boat de-
stroyers have not yet located the crew

lief prevails that the men may have

merchantmen.
Roumanians Retiring.
On the battle fronts in Europe,
Transylvania and Macedonia continue
for the moment the centers of great-
est action. According to Berlin, the
Koumanians in Transylvania are retir-
ing along the whole line. The Teu-
tonic allies have recaptured Toerz-
burg, fifteen miles southwest of Kron-
stadt and within seveu miles of.the
Roumanian border. In the Danube,
north of Slstova, the Germans have oc-
cupied an island, taking six guns and
making prisoners of the Roumanian
troops there.
Servians in considerable force have
crossed the Cerna river in Servia and
captured Skolvir, southeast of Mon-
astir and also have occupied positlane
along the north bank of the river.
Considerable hard fighting has
again taken place west of Lutsk and
further south in Gallcia, but the re-
sults are somewhat beclouded by rea-
son of the contradictory reports of
the Petrograd and Berlin war offices.
I'etrograd says the Russians In Vol-
hynla succeeded in entering Austro—
German positions east of Viadimor-
Volyiiski, but Berlin reports that these
attacks failed.
Violent reciprocal bombardments
are in progress in the Somme region of
France. Infantry attacks also have
taken place but no important gains
for either side have been chronicled.
Carrying two thousand Servian and
French soldiers the nuxiliary cruiser
Gallia has been sunk In the Mediter-
ranean with a loss of C38 men.

This fact, the Lokal Anzeiger says
is of political as well as technical sig-
