The rescue of 626 officers and sailors from the Oceanic, formerly of the White Star Line, which was, wrecked off the coast of Scotland, was effected through the daring work of Captain Armour, of the trawler GlenoglU" ; He told the following story: "It. was misty and dark on Tues day morning off the north coast-of Scotland when our attent'on was fo rested on our homeward way by sig nals of distress in the direction -ef the coast. It required skilful se manship which would have been Jm- possible to a larger boat than, ours to bring the Glenogil near enough f to discover the Oceanic upon the rack , . , . T -FWalTy,' after a long,-hariF'tusflle in a nasty -sea, we brought ourselves alongside. , Ropes and . ladders were lowered over -the side 'of the liner, down which the crew scrambled and tumbled to the deck of our boat.

We could hold no more. f "After transferring "the rescued seamen to a larger steamer which was standing by In the offing, being unable to get any nearer the wrecked liner, we returned to the Oceanic. The sea was high and the rocky ledg es of the coast made our trip slow and dangerous. As quickly as . we could we took off the remaining mem bers of the Oceania's crew and then transferred them to the larger ship. , V'The rescue work was attended with great . difficulty on account of the heavy sea, the darkness and the dangerous rocks over which the tide boomed like thunder, .- "Captain - William Stater, com mander of the Ocenaic, was the last to leave his ship. He paid us a high compliment and thanked us warmly." Reports had been current that the Oceanlo, which had - recently been converted Into a cruiser, was the vic tim of a German floating mine, but Captain Armour denied this. There is a possible chance that the Oceanic might be saved. i . fflCAfl NEUTRALITY Steamer of American Register ; Communicated With British 'Steamer ., San Francisco.. Sept. 12. Rear Admiral Chas, F.

REPLY TO PROTEST Denies That French Troops Have Used Dum Duin Bullets. buy? Washington, Sept. 12. President Poincaire of France, has cabled to President Wilson a reply to the pro test of Emperor William which cbarg ed the alhes had been using dum dum bullets. The French President declared in his message that Emperor William was attempting to shift responsibili ty for the use by Germany of dum dum bullets practically' since the out break of the war. Bordeaux, Sept. 12. President Poincaire yesterday cabled President Wilson as follows: "Mr. President: I am informed that the German government has sought to surprise Tour Excellency's good faith by alleging that dum-dum balls are manufactured in ' the French Btate factory and used by our soldiers. This calumny is but an au dacious attempt to reverse roles. "Since the beginning of the war, Germany has used dum-dum bullets and violated daily the law of nations. On August 18, and several times since, we have had occasion to . bring these facts to the notice of Your Ex cellency and the powers signatories of The Hague Convention." "Germany, who knew of our pro tests today seeks to confuse the is sue and furnish herself lying pre texts for fresh acts of barbarity.

The government is now making an appraisal of all the railway property in the United States. The hugeness of this task one which only the gov ernment has the resources to afford may be gathered from the number, of men engaged in making an expert tabulation of the Norfolk Southern property alone. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion representatives now in. New Bern are as follows: A. E. Hess, J. I. Lyon, U. L. Fisher, John Reimann, S. B. Over, J. N. .Ramsey, W. A. Rice. H. W. Russell, C. R.

Dis regarding opposition from some of their colleagues to the proposed tax on freight transportation, Democrats of the Ways and Means committee completed the war Tevenue bill yes terday without vital changes and it will be Introduced today by Chair man Underwood. The bill will be reported to the House Monday and called up Tuesday. A specia.1 rule to expedite its passage probably will be presented. Efforts were made to exempt from the freight tax farm products en route to market, but the proposal was, rejected. Administration lead ers thought it unlikely the bill would be amended in the House. "No one wants this bill," said Mr. Underwood. "We don't want any. kind of a tax, but we can't heln if. We did not want the war in Europe." Administrative features were ad ded to the bill yesterday, providing for a penalty of double the tax on persons who seek to evade it and . authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury and Commissioner of In ternal Revenue to fix rules add reg ulations. Representative Rucker, of Mis-- souri, yesterday introduced a bill to increase the income tax rate one half per cent and to reduce the exemp tion to $2,000 and $3,000, as origi nally provided by the Ways, ami Means committee in the revenue bill, but it was withdrawn at the request of the President.
