Another series of thrilling reports of recent naval actions against submarines, illus trative of the manner in which the U-boat menace is being met was giv en out last night by the admiralty. The reords are official but no dates are given. The statement begins by reciting row a torpedo gunboat sighted a periscope COO. yards away and turn ed ship so that the periscope was traveling in the opposite direction to that in which it was first seen. When at a distance of 50 yards the peris cope disappeared and the gunboat, altering its course, passed over the submarine. The impact of the collision was felt and when the captain estimated that the submarine was under the after part of his ship, explosive charges were dropped astern. A mine sweeper found an obstruction on the bottom at this point. A torpedo boat patrolling in the Atlantic found a steamer torpedoed and sinking. The survivors wer-3 rescued and then the torpedo boat circled about the locality for mora than an hour. Finally, a white patch of water was seen dead ahead. The torpedo boat dashed over the ' spot, grazed the submarine and dropped three submarine bombs. Oil and air nibbles reeking of gasoline came to the surface and the mine sweeptr found another obstruction here. The next encounter described in the statement was that of submarine against submarine. A British u boat sighted a German submersible while both were at the surface. The British submarine dived and later picked up the enemy through the periscope. A "torpedo fired at 800 yds. caused a violent explosion in the German vessel. When the Britisher arose he found ! a patch of oil in which Germans were By Associated Press. Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 1. Estimates today of the damage done in the city of Pensacola by the tropical storm last Friday placed the property loss at $100,000. The damage done was confined to wires, roofs, and frame buildings.' No reports of loss of life to per sons in this vicinity have been re ceived;. Student aviators from the navy aeronautical station near here res cued a number of persons from the flooded portions of Warrenton. Ten fishing schooners and a number of smaller vessels were aground in the harbor and one large steamer went aground in five feet of water. Authorities at the navy yard stat ed that the loss there would aggre gate about $100,000, injcludfog an unroofed store of supplies and wreck age of airplanes. 0. S.

A flotilla of sweepers was engaged in western channel water when an ex plosion occurred between a pair of them, the wire net parting. w,nen the sweemntr wire was pulled in two mines were found entangled, ore of the ship's side and the other just under the surface.

The mines fell into the sea without ex- Dlodine The mines then were towed away iringerly by another ship "The training of merchant marine officers in gunnery tactics is bearing fruit. A British merchantman was attacked by submarine gunfire from a distance of three miles. The shots woro wild and she immediately re plied. At the sixth and sevantn rounds smoke and flames burst irom the forepart of the submarine which ;ih:indoned the Chase. The determination of the rati chant marine is evidenced by the instance of an armed shjp proceeding to Liv erpool convoying one which was un armed. A submarine was sighted at the same moment a torpedo struck the defensively armed vessel. The master ordered the ship abandoned but. he and the two gunners remained aboard. The unarmed ship fled, pursued by the submarine, whereupon the masler opened fire from the sinking ship and forced the abandonment of the chase. The submarine returned ar.d torpedoed the ship twice more. It then took the master and the gunners prisoners.

Wiiile the fighting front in Flan ders apparently is witnessing the ! preparation of another stroke by mans are trying to anticipate by tounter attacks and retaliatory fire, the German crown prince's army is again attempting to harrass the French in the Verdun region. Attacks on the French were de livered last night both east nnd north of the Meause in the Verdun sector, where artillery fighting has been lively during the last few days. The attacks failed. After yesterday's three futile at tempts to drive the British back from the high ground on both sides of the Ypres-Menin road in., Flanders, the Germans contented themselves with keeping up an intensely active artil lery fire during the night. London is silent on this theatre, but judging from past experiences the British are sending a hail of shells into the German lines. News from the Italian front is that General Cadorna is pushing out again east of Isonzo, driving forward on the Bainsizza plateau near the southeasterly edge of which he has almost reached the Chiapovano val ley. The capture of more htan 1, 400 prisoners in Saturday's .thrust indicates the power of the Italian blow, which there is every indica tion will be followed up, as the new ground has been firmly held against several Austrian counter attacks. interest also attaches to the Meso- GERMANY IS WEAKER mit Chief Justice White and his as sociates to pay their customary call on President Wilson.

Appeals from the decision of Judge Speer in Georgia, who upheld the constitutionality of the law and cases from Minnesota, Ohio and New York, which include those of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, convicted of attempting to oppose the carrying into effect of the law by urging men within the draft ages not to register have been filed. All are time. Dates have not been fixed for the hearing of arguments in the anti trust suits. These cases were argu ed last term. Rumors that owing to the war, action on them would be delayed until after peace was de clared were met by Chief Justice White ordering them re-argued at this session. The cases stand near the top of the docket and unless de lays occur, court officials expect the Harvester and the nthracite trust cases to come up for consideration this month and the ethers shortly af terwards. This will be the second time the steel and the shoe machinery cases have been argued and the third time for the Harvester and the an thracite suits. The Harvester case was appealed to the Supreme court from the Min nesota federal court, which in 1914. ordered the dissolution of the com pany and its subsidiary organizations combining $224,000,000 assets, as be ing in violation of the Sherman law.
