Opinion of the Washington Observers
By the Associated-Press
An,Atlantic Port, Oct. 10. Scores of American sailors
were killed by shrapnel fired by a German submarine after
it had torpedoed the steamship Ticonderoga, 1,700 miles off
the Atlantic coast, according to the story told by 20 survivors
who arrived here today aboard a British freighter.
There were 250 men aboard the Ticonderoga, an Ameri
can steamship of 5,130 tons, and all but the 20 who arrived
here today are believed to have perished. The survivors got
away in the only boat which was not demolished by the shell
fire from the submarine, they said. Seventeen of the men
who reached port were members of a detachment of soldiers
detailed to care for horses which were being transported.
The Ticonderoga was attacked.V-
presumably on October 2, when she

Omaha's Quota Is Still Far
I From Filled and Need for
' More Subscriptions Is
' Urgent.
Unless Omaha's Liberty loan
quota is raised by Saturday night
County Chairman Eastman will or
der a recanvass of the entire city.
"Omaha's quota must be raised,"
said Mr. Eastman. "The number of
subscriptions is very satisfactory,
but the total is not. It may be
necessary to go over the territory
once more and ask for additional
subscriptions."
The sales up to 10 o'clock last
right were $7,850,500. The quota is
$10,500,000. The standing of the
campaign is giving some of Omaha's
citizens great concern.
Mayor Says Buy.
' "I am jealous of Omaha's reputa
tion," said Mayor Ed P. Smith. "I
do not want the word to go out
that Omaha has failed. Let's forget
the 'Buy a Bond' slogan and make
it read 'Buy More Monds.' "
"We are at the most critical
feriod of the war," said Frank W.
udson, state director of the Red
Cross. "We must fight a German
peace offensive, we must encourage
our men overseas, and we must
finance the government. The way to
accomplish all three ends is to over
subscribe the fourth Liberty loan."
"This is not the time to falter; it
is the time to fight,' said John L.
Kennedy, state fuel administrator.
"tt takes both men and money to
man the guns. The men are over
there, the money is over here. We
must dig deeply for the money if
necessary and damn the kaiser."
The largest subscription reported
Thursday was $75,000, from- the
Equitable Life Insurance company,
taken by Joe Klein on Capt. C. O.
Talmage's team.

Peace in Sight, but ,

gine trouble..
According to the story of the sur
vivors, the submarine was not sight
ed until she had sent a torpedo
crashing into the side of the ship.
The torpedo did not strike a vital
spot, however, and the captain
crowded on full steam in an effort to
escape, at the same time ordering
the gun crews into action against
the submarine, which appeared
about a mile off. -v.
Deck .Sprayed With Shrapnel
"Our gun -crews did not fire more
than five or six shots," one of the
survivors said, "The forward gun
was shot away almost at once. The
after gun and its crew was done foH
almost as quickly. Then the men
went to the boats, but it was no
use as the flying shrapnel was spray
ing the deck and men fell in scores,
either killed or badly wounded."
Another survivor declared that all
of the Ticonderoga's eight life boats
with the exception of one were rid
dled with shrapnel before they could
be launched. A number of men who
tried to get into the eighth boat
were killed by shrapnel as they
climbed over the side of the ves
sel. "Finally," this survivor said, "one
of our men, in desperation, swam
close to the submarine and hailed
an officer, asking him in God's name
to stop firing.
"The lieutenant who answered him
did so with a loaded revolver, say
ing that if he did not swim back he
would shoot him.
Tried to Drag Down Lifeboat.
"When our boat had only 20 men
in it, we were ordered alongside the
submarine and made to tie up while
the shelling of the dead and dying
on the sinking ship continued. ,
"The leader of our boat was asked
some questions which he refused to
answer and suddenly the submarine
submerged and only the parting of
the rope -with which we were tied
prevented our going down with it."
One of the survivors said the sub
marine was of the cruiser type and
had the largest guns he had ever
seen on a submarine. One of the .

Washington, Oct. 10. The wholly unexpected
extent of the German collapse between St. Quen
tin and Cambrai which leaves, as the enemy
stands today, a great gap torn in the center of the
lines that were already struggling to extricate
themselves and get back to a shorter front, has
given rise to the belief here that there is even the
possibility of a crushing and immediate military
victory for the allies.
Should the French to the south or the British
to the north also succeed in breaking through be
fore the Germans can complete an extensive re
tirement, the capture or destruction of a whole
enemy army group might be realized.
In the opinion of observers here the situation
today has almost limitless possibilities and Mar
shal Foch is virtually certain to concentrate every
ounce of power at his command in an effort to
execute a final coup.
MAY PAVE WAY FOR INVASION.
The smashing victory of the Anglo-American
forces north of St. Quentin may be paving the way
for early invasion of Germany itself. Striking hints
of a wholly new enterprise directed at the upper
Rhine valley have come from unofficial quarters in
France and they follow repeated reports from
Switzerland that the civil populations of the Rhine
valley towns were being removed by the German
authorities.
Some officers here regard these reports as high
ly significant. They give them particular weight
because it now appears certain that the enemy
will be forced far back all along the front in north
ern France and Belgium within the next few days.
While the constant hammering is kept up in
the north to pin the German armies there it might
be possible, it was said, to deliver a new stroke
on the Alsace-Lorraine front that might swiftly
develop into an invasion of Germany itself by way
of the Rhine valley.
HUNS FACE TRIPLE TRAP.
It does not appear likely, however, that the
Rhine drive plans, if there are such plans, will de
velop until the situation clears in the north.
Should the German armies escape the triple trap
between Verdun and the North sea, however, and
establish a line on the Meuse front, many officers
are confident that the center of attack will swing
suddenly to a drive into Germany itself by the
shortest route, the Rhine valley.

London, Oct. 10. The Dublin
mail boat Leinster has been torpe
doed, according to the Exchange
Telegraph company,' while making a
trip from Dublin to Holyhead.
Four hundred persons perished in
the torpedoing of the Leinster, ac
cording to report which has not yet
been confirmed.
This act would indicate that the
German U-boats again have suc
ceeded in getting into St. George's

of U-boat operations in that water
for a long time, and it was reported
that extraordinary precautions had
been taken with respect to this

"Flight of The Night Mail"
Soon Will Become a Reality
Chicago, Oct. 10. Kipling's dream j New York and Chicago November
of the "Flight of the Night Mail "
great planes racing from the At
lantic coast to the Pacific and from
the Canadian border to the Gulf of
Mexico, regardless of storms, guid
ed at night by searchlights and in
the day by giant landing places,
will be a reality within three years,
Capt. B. B. Lipsner, in charge of
the government's aerial mail service
predicted today.
A sunrise to sunset air mail serv
ice between New York and San
Francisco, using the airplane equip
ment of the army now in service in
France or being built, with Chicago
as the hub of the system, is being
projected now, he declared. The
elimination pi the railways as car
riers of first class mail will take
place soon after the end of the war,
he added.
Captain Lipsner arrived in Chi
cago to complete plans for the op
ening of the aerial mail between
1. "AH of the cities along the route
have already established landing
fields and are building hangars," he
said.
Commenting on what has been
accomplished in the east he said:
"Last month we had a perfect
score in mail delivery between New
York, Philadelphia and Washington
with no accidents or casualties. The
speed averaged more than 125 miles
an hour and I believe this can be
maintained on all routes. Night fly
ing will soon be a regular thing in
the aerial majl service and the planes
we are using and building will be
able to fly in any kind of weather.
While our present weight-carrying
limit is 700 pounds, I believe, we can
soon raise it to five tons. The Ca
proni planes will carry as much marl
as an average mail train. At a speed
of 125 miles an hour, it will cost not
more than $50 an hour to operate a
mail plane."

Time Fuses Set With Object of

Possible.
By Associated Press.
With the Anglo-American Forces
Southeast of Cambrai, Oct. 10. The
powerful mines which the Germans
had placed under Cambrai seem to
have been set with a time fuse, the
idea being to complete the destruc
tion started by fire and to kill as
great a number of the allied soldiers
as possible.
lhe explosion went ott with a
roar under the center of the town
after it had been occupied by the
British. The crash and detonation
were seen and heard for miles.
Great damage, the extent of which
has not yet been determined, was
done to Cambrai.
More French civilians have been
freed from the Germans. Some of
the inhabitants of the town rushed
out to meet the marching British
and greeted them with cheers and

Cambrai Smoking Ruins.
With the Canadian .Forces in
France, Wednesday, October 10.
Cambria is a smoking ruin. The
Germans have probably never pre
petrated a more ruthless nor more
premeditated vandalism than this
Cambria. "France can never forget
nor forgive this," remarked a French
officer. "Torch in hand, the enemy
comes offering us peace."
When the Canadians entered Cam
brai the great public square of the
Place D'Armes was virtually intact.
Now it is a mass of ruins. All day,
in every part of the town there were
explosions of incendiary bombs with
time fuses, Attached and these were
followed immediately by outbursts
of fire. In one short street a dozen
houses simultaneously burst in
flames.
The town hall, the bishop's palace
and other buildings were blown to
pieces. I he cathedral still stands,
but only with its ruined chancel.
Fire is lapping the base of the great
belfry tower.
As the hours went by the uni
versal character of the holocaust de
veloped. The situation was obscured
partly and it seemed like a fiery ball
in the smoke and thick dust of fall
ing walls.
The Canadian enginejrs sought to
pen in the conflagration by dynamit
ing the building, but. the flames
broke out at the backs of the sol
diers. Fortune Stolen in Transit

Prince Max Shown to Hold
Democratic Government
for His People in Cyni
cal Contempt.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Oct 1Q, The idea so
carefully featured by 'the "Gerniatj,
semi-oinciai press bureatrtirat trie
appointment of Prince Maximilian
of Baden, as chancellor was a long
step toward the democrazation of
Germany is completely dissipated by
documents written by the prince,
copies of which 'have just reached
Washington. One is the text of a
speech the prince delivered last De
cember in the Baden first chamber,
ot which he was president, and the
other is a letter written last Janu
ary to his counsin Prince Hohen-
lohe. "
The papers show the prince in
his true character and are accepted
here as well as justifying President
Wilson's inquiry as to whether, in
seeking peace, he speaks for those
in Germany who have conducted the
war up to this time. They disclose
the prince as holding in cynical con
tempt the proponents of democratic
government for the central powers.
The letter was called forth by the
speech, which in some quarters was
criticised because of the unnatural
combination of lofty Christian doc
trine with brutal German militarism.
The speech drew a telegram of com
mendation from the kaiser, the
prince wrote his cousin, and the
junkers caused thousands of copies
of it to be printed for general dis
tribution over the empire.
In the letter to his cousin, Prince
Max disclosed his true feeling when
he said:
"As I am opposed to the western
parliamentarism for Germany and
Baden, I was obliged to say to the
people of Baden, or rather of Ger
many, that I understood its merit,
but that such institutions were not
real remedies for them."

Insist on Honorable and
Victorious Peace.
"The. present German peace offer
is nothing more than a "crooked
'kamerad' cry on an international
scale,"- said Floyd Gibbons, war
correspondent with the allies for
four years for the Chicago Tribune,
speaking yesterday afternoon at the
University club.
"Many of our soldiers have heed
ed the 'kamerad' cry of a Hun only
to be shot by the treacherous ene
my," he said. "The same thing
would happen to the allies if they
heeded the present cry of the Ger
mans.
"The allies have known for three
months that this peace offensive was
coming. Last Saturday night the
trap was finally sprung. A hundred
million people in America were put
to thinking of peace, a psychologi
cal condition fraught with the
gravest possibilities. It was a coup
on the part of the Germans and we
must guard against it.
"Our rejection of this offer will
not put an end to the peace offen
sive. During the coming winter the
Germans will make increasingly flat
tering oners for peace, lhey have
already offered the restoration of
Belgium and negotiation over Al
sace-Lorraine. They will even of
fer to depose the kaiser. There is
just one thing that the Germans
want to keep and that is an unde
feated army in the field.
"This they must not keep. Peace
cannot be discussed as long as a
single armed German soldier re

would be Germany's, for it would
be only a few years until this
menace to the peace of the world

German People Unloading
War Loans at Low Prices
Basel, Switzerland, Oct. 10.
There are persistent rumors among
the working classes in Germany,
according tp advices received here,
that Germany's imperial bonds may
become valueless.
The rumors have their basis in the
repeated entente Victories. The peo
ple of numerous towns are said to
be unloading their war loans at ex
traordinarily low prices and a panic
seems imminent.
The German newspapers are pub
lishing long appeals in endeavors to
tranquilize public feeling. It is rec
ommended above all other methods
that persons who desire to sell gov
ernment bonds do so through banks,
which are ready always to advance
cash upon bonds in the usual way.
The public is further advised to re
member that the German empire
guarantees the loans.
Peasants and small business peo
ple, says the appeal, should be the
last to dispose of their bonds, be
cause at the moment of demobiliz
ation they will be able to buy use
ful articles of all sorts. When that
time comes buyers paying with na
tional bonds will be given prefer
ence.
The document on which the aD
peals are based calls upon the Ger
mans to show their patriotism and
also their opposition to the propa
ganda of rumors about war bonds,
which are causing great injury to
the empire.
