British Find Means to Rid Seas of Submarine Menace

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2. Great Britain has discovered and put into effective operation means of combatting the submarine, which, according to oiiicial reports of the United States go eminent, already have resulted in a loss estimated at between 30 and 70 German submarines. The British admiralty confidently believes it has crushed the German undersea menace. New methods of offense and defense that may revolutionize naval warfare have been adopted and high British naval tlicers are of the opinion that unless the effecti eness of the submarine is increased, it will no longer constitute the menace that it has to commerce and battle lle.ts. Tlie Crated States government has infurmaton concerning the principal methods which have been successful in meeting the German war zone campaign. A submarine telephone ha.s be-n developed to locate the undersea boats by sound from observation boats or stations planted off shore connected with joints on the main land. The government's reports describe how huge Pitts hav been stretched across the channels through which the submarines may attempt to l;ua find

The loss of life at points along the coat west of New Orleans is estimated at approximately 1(0, including crews of schooners which had not been heard from up to a late hour. In tho Louisiana marshes there were approximately 90 schooners ashore, many of them turned upside down. Aboard thee 90 boats were about 54 0 men. Nearly 10 per cent of the members of the crews of these schooners were rescued and brought into Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis Thursday night and yesterday, but it is believed that ir.any others lost their lives.

Oct. 2. Tho estate of the late A. G. Spalding, former baseball star and sporting goods manufacturer, is valued at least $1,000,000 in a survey by John W. Carrigan, state inheritance tax attorney, made public today. In his will Mr. Spalding valued his estate at $60-0, 000. According to Atty. Carrigan further inquiry into the estate may increase its value to $2,000,000. in open waters near steamship lane3 or in the vicinity of warships, nets suspended between floats have been spread broadcast. Armed patrol boats watch, and when the floats. disappear beneath tho water, showing that a submarine has become entangled, the patrols congregate at the place and when the victim comes to the surface, as it inevitably must to disentangle itself, it Ls destroyed by gun tire or captured. Aspecial type of mine .lso has been devised which Ls laid in large field3 that have proved particularly dangerous to submarines approaching steamer Lines. The German methods of supplying submarines with oil and provisions, cither at sea or from concealed places along the coasts of the British isles have been ferretted out and practically disposed of. Armed trawlers also have proved effective on account of their speed and ability to pet quickly within easy rarue of their victims. But the great est single factor, it is said, has been a nwly designed and built Meet of small sea-going motorboats. armed with on or two three-inch guns ur.d possessing very high speed.

T ft BILL! (HI Allied Loan Already Subscribed For Will be Paid in Installments. NEW YORK, Oct. 2. Bankers close to J. P. Morgnn & Co. declared today that the .synaicate underwriting the $500,000,000 war loan to the allies has already received sufficient subscriptions to cover the entire amount. All of these pledges, however, have not yet been recorded upon the subscription books. It is explained that the underwriters want to gave the general public a chance to buy in order to ascertain through that medium, the attitude of the small investor towards the loan. From an authoritative source it in learned that Charles M. Schwab and Gen. Dupont of the famous powdermaking family, have guaranteed to take over $55,000,000 worth of the bonds. It was admitted that the refusal ol Kuhn Ixeb & Co. to participate in the loan might have some effect, but those interested in floating the credit declare that this effect has been discounted by tho flood of subscriptions which have been received bv J. P. Morgun & Co. So far the underwriters syndicate has not t'iken delinite form and the subscription books have not been formally opened to the public, but the preliminary work ha.s progressed so fast and so satisfactorily that announcements on these points are now expected very soon. Curb market brokers have already begun to deal in tho war bonds but all contracts are conditional. It is announce-d that the payment on subscriptions will be in three installments, the first to be 2.", per e-ent on Oct. 15, the second. 25 per cent and Nov. 15, and the third. " per cent on Dec. 15.
