There Today No Signs
Of The Subrrier--sible.
Savannah, Ga., Oct. 11. If a Ger
man submarine is lurking in the waters
of the South Atlantic coast, as unoffi
cially reported yesterday, it has suc
cessfully evaded detection today. Cred
ence given the first report diminished
to such an extent that the captain of
the British steamer Noya cleared 'his
vessel this morning and announced
that he intended to sail later in the
day.
No Signs of the Subs.
New York, Oct. 11. Nothing to in
dicate the presence of German sub
marines off the Atlantic coast was
observed by steamships which ar
'rived in port this morning, after
completing their voyages. There was
no unusual activities on the seas nor
were there any warships of the En
tente Allies sighted.
The British consul here and local
customs officials, who yesterday de
clared that a German euomarine was
off the Georgia coast, but who then
refused to give the source of their
information, today stated that the re
port was based on "street rumors."
Up to noon nothing additional was
learned as to the report that the sub
marine was near here.

Long Branch, Oct. 11. It was re
ported today that Mr. Lansing would
stop in Atlantic City on his way to
Washington to confer with members
of the Mexican-American joint com
mis,sion, but at the executive offices
here it was asserted that he gave
no indication of such an errand.
Officials declared there was no
statement to be made regarding Mr.
Lansing's visit and the only fact was
that he and the President discussed
the submarine question fully. It was
on the basis that no violations of In
ternational law had occurred and
that no ground had been found for
drastic action. So far the rules of
the law have been followed.
The President iias received many
telegrams urging that he take some
action to prevent a repetition of sub
marine attacks near the Atlantic
coast.
Mr. Wilson planned to leave here
today for Indianapolis, where he will
speak twice tomorrow. He will re
turn here Friday.

Appam Ruling Makes
Sinking of Vessels
Necessary.
Berlin, Oct. 11. (via Wireless to
the Associated Press), Oct. 11. The
German submarine campaign off the
American coast, according to the firm
convictions of the admirality and in
official circles, is being conducted in
full accord with the recent ruling on
"crucial warfare," and with the Ger
mans understanding with the United
States not to sifnk ships without warn
ing and making positive of the safety
of the passengers and the crew.
The decision of the American courts
in the case of the British steamer, Ap
pam, which was awarded to her Brit
ish owners, after being taken into
Norfolk by a German prize crew,
makes it impossible to send the prizes
into American ports.
Submarine commanders, therefore,
have no option, except to destroy
them.
It is asserted here that the American
government has no ground to protest
on account of submarines being in
close proximity, to the American
coasts, since the German warships are
merely following the example of Great
Britain and her allies, who have kept
watch off the American coast.
Of Both Lives and Tariff,

Clarksburg, W. Va., Oct. 11. Charles

that he stood for the protection of Am

and that he had "no agreements with

."I stand for American rights through

Hughes said. "I have no understand
ing, no agrement, no intrigue, with
anybody, but I stand for the rights of
American citizens and for the protec
tion of American lives, property and
commerce throughout the world," he
said.
Mr. Hughes spoke for the protective
tariff and attacked the administration
for the enactment of the Adamsoni
law.
"I am not opposed to the principle
of the eight-hour work day," he de
clared. '1 favor that, but I am oppos
ed to legislation by hold-up methods,

The Chinese-American Product Ex
change Company was organized
about a year ago with a capital of
$3,000,000 to encourage the exchange
of trade between the United States
and China.
The prime purpose of this organi
zation is to bring about direct trade
between the United States and
China, which it is predicted will
prove to be a most profitable under
taking for the merchants and citi
zens of both countries.
"When the Chinese Trade Commis

advantage that would accrue to both
countries if we could trade directly,"
