Boeton, Oct. 10. ? Excepting for a
forty-mile gale, which has been
sweeping In from the northeast all I
night, evertyhlng is quiet along the
New England coast. The Nantucket
raido station This morning reported
"all kepe are silent." The undersea
monsters hare apparently vanished
ns suddenly as they appeared. The
gale makes the further search of the
missing members of the Kingston
crew impossible. There is little hope
held out for any who may be riding
the wares in open boats.
Was Not the Kingston.
New York. Oct. 10. ? It is now be
lieved that only Ave vessels were
sunk In the Nantuckett raid. This
belief grew In shipping circles as
vague and contradictory reports con
cerning the crew of the steamer
Kingston wsre reoeived. It l? be
lieved that the name of the vessel
was misread toy wireless operators
and that no such vessel was attack
ed. Her name la not registered In
shipping directories. It is possible
that It was misread for "Knudson."
Eleven American destroyers, Ave
miles apart, this morning swept the
coast, searching for traces of the
vessel that was supposed to have
been lost. Yesterday's report that
two members of the Kingston's crew
had been rescued, rpoved to be false.

Whole Fleet Of
U -Boats Are Here
Washington, Octi' 10. ? The opin
ion of American naval officials is
that there is not one German subma
rine here, but probably a whole fleet.
They believe they are going to oper
ate along the entire coast. The wa
submarines of the Commercial type
to furnish them with all the supplies
and torpedoes they need, these offi
cial* say.
Aided by these large supply ships,
the subinarlno swill be completely
equipped for a campaign and be In
dependent of a base of supplies. Even .
should the United States decide sub
marines are not entitled to the rights
of a warship in American ports, the
German campaign would not be ssr- ?
iouBly hampered.
Navy officers believe the Germans
will first appear off one port, then off
another. By the time the British ]
CRITICISES
MOVEMENT
OF TROOPS
Washington, Oct. 10. ? "The na
tional guard troops that were called
I Into service ostensibly to protect the
Mexican border seem to have been
made a plaything largely for the'j
benefit of the transcontinental rail- 1
roads."
"My attention was recently called
to the policy being pursued by the
war department of constantly shift
ing the national guard forces between
the Mexican border and state mobili
sation camps." said Senator Norris.
"Die plan being followed is astound- !
Ing. and I cannot condemn It In too
string terras."
Ijenator Norris referred to the var- |
ious war department orders under (
Which. up to the latter part of Sep- i
ftniber. eleven full regiments nnd J
parts of five other reglthentB. of the
ttatlonal guard, sent to the border bv
the. President under, thei calls of May
9 and June 18. had been ordered
back to state inoblllretlon ramps and
ft similar number from other state j
camps transported to the border.
<'In view of the. (MX that these
troops were flrsf federalized and sent
to the border bccaoee of an alleged
Critical emergency With which the
regular army was unable to deal."
said Senator Norris, "I cannot un
derstand why. after this short time,
part of the troops should be sent
home and others carried clear across
the United States to take their places.
"If there Is a need for the troops
along the border, certainly the or
ganisations which have been on the
ground which have beoome accus
tomed to the climatf<*Bd have been
tralhed to fulfill the dutlee demand
ed of them, should be the best equip
ped and most competent from a mili
tary point of vi?w to ha?dl? th> sit

military v** teems ?o me
warships have arrived at one pniul
of operations the Germans will be
somewhere else, and in that way they
can do incalculable dunume and keep
all the Drltish ships busy.
News of the U-53's exploits was
received here by naval officers with
secret admiration. The State De
partment was worried as an interna
Uunc 1 erisia became Imminent. Naval
officers appreciated the practical val
ue of the undersea boat's achieve
ments, viewed from a fight in* man's
standpoint.
As this country is spending mil
lions for submarines, navul experts
followed the news of the German
boat with keenest Interest.
The view that the United States
must insist to Great Britain that the
U-boats were actually war vessels
was emphasized by naval officers. i
