AMERICAN VESSEL TORPEDOED, MANY OF CREW MISSING AN ATLANTIC PORT, Oct. 10.— News of the sinking by a submarine of a large American steamship, with the probable loss of many of her crew, was brought here today by a British freight er. The British ship had aboard twen ty survivors of the American vessel. The American steamship, said to have carried a large crew, was shelled and then torpedoed, according to officers of the rescue ship. The attack was made five days ago. It was reported in maritime circles that the U-ooat’s victim was the Ticon deroga, formerly the German steamer Camilla Rickmers, of 5,130 gross tons. The ship was interned at Manila at the beginning of the war. TICONDEROGA REINjRTED IX)ST FROM HER CONVOY Oct. 10.—-Reports from an Atlantic port today of the sink ing of an American steamer believed to nave been the Ticonderoga developed the fact that the navy department re cently was notified that the Ticonderoga had been separated from her convoy at Since t,ien nothing has been heard of the vessel. was served Harrach, who had been to the garage to see about repair ing the car, came in, with a iong face. Impossible!” he reported. “Puorquoi impossible?" (“Why impossible?”) asked Von der Lanc ken. “A cause de leur sale fete na tionale!” (“Becau.«»e of their dirty national holiday!”) he replied. It was Belgium’s national holiday and the Belgians were observing it, if not ia one way then in another. They would not repair a German car. And so we had the prospect of spending the night at the Hotel de la Pomme d’Or. The valets had gone on by train to Brussels. We considered the possibility of send ing to Brussels for a motor ear but that Involved passierscheins and all sorts of arrangement, in this instance as difficult for these two distinguished German officers as for us in ordinary times; the motor could not get to Oudenarde . before morning, we should gain nothing. But Von der Lancken was resourceful. He sent Harrach to telephone to Brussels and order a special train, and then we sat do<vn to a very good dinner. The yellow-haired Flemish girl, rather pretty, who served us, wore a brooch with a photograph in it. She could speak no French but Harrach could get along with her in Flemish. “Who is that?* ’asked Harrach. She threw back her head with pride: "Beige sold£t, meinherr.” (“A Belgian soldier, sir,") she said. “Your sweethairt?’ Harrach ask ed. “Neen, nyn broedei .’’ ("No, my brother.”) “But you have a sweetheart?” he persisted. "Ik zal niemand beminnen auur ing de oorlog!” ("I shall love no one during the war!”) she said. She was as Indomitable as the rest of the Belgians. We had our dinner and then a bugle in the street announced the retreat; everybody must be indoors a little after ten, that is ten, Ger man time. We left the hotel and walked through the dark and silent streets. Villalobar with Von der Lancken going on ahead, Harrach and I fol lowing, talking in low tones in the ’ intimacy the darkness somehow makes natural. He told me of his troubles at the outbreak of the war; he had been in Florence studying art. He spoke of his family, of his wife and children, of his ambitions, of art, of the war, of all his inter rupted plans. And we strolled on in the soft grateful darkness, weary after our long day As excitement. Suddenly in the darkness a cry-: “Halte-la!” We halted. “Ces vieux bonshemmes de Land sturin tirent si a la legere parfois, vous savez.” ("The old men of the Landstrum sometimes fire so thoughtlessly, you know,' ) said Harrach. Lancken and Villalobar had halted, they were on the other side of the street. Then Lancken’s voice rang out; he was shouting something in German. Finally he was ordered to draw near. We approached then and under the light of a lamp post —th</ only one, I think, in the town that was lighted—the sentinel, a bearded old fellow, read our pa pers, became suddenly obsequious, and showed us the way to the sta tion. When we got there it was half past eleven and we had an hour and a half to wait. Lancken grumbled at the lateness of our return. “Si vous n’aviez change I’heure. nous ne serions pas centres si tard ce soir.” ("If you had not changed the time we should not have re turned so late this evening.”) said Villalobar. The railroad officials, all German, of course, were saluting right and , left. They gave us the waiting room; von der Lancken had them put out the lights and we stretch ed out on the cushions with our overcoats over us. I fall asleep immediately and did not awaken until they called us to take the train. There were four compart ments in the train and, tired of each other’s presence, we each took one. I wrapped myself in an over coat and stretched myself out on the seat. The train jerked and started. Someone had opened the door of the carriage and was shouting: “Brussel, meinheer." We were in the Gare du Nord; it was silent and empty, with that desolate air a railway station wears in the night, an impression intensi fied then because the Gare had be come a "bahnhof,” with all the signs in German. In the Place Rogier, a cabman was snoozing on his box. and Villalobar’s motor was waiting, the Spanish flag -at the fore. We drove home in the cool morning air.

First prices were 6 points lower on December, but generally 7 to 88 points higher, with October selling at 31.20, while December touched 30.28 c and January 29.81e right after the call. Offerings soon in creased. however, with Liverpool and the south among the leading seUers, and prices weakened shortly after the call, with December selling off to 30e and January to 20.60 c. or 3 to 14 points net lower. There was no change of im portance in weather and cron news. The break extended to 20.75 c for December and 29.25 c for January during the middle of the morning, or 38 to 4u points from last night’s closing figures. At this level, however, the market was steadied by trade buying, and prices rallied later on covering for over the approach ing two-day adjournment. Trading was com paratively quiet around midday, with December holding steady at 30c and January at 29.52 c, or about 25 points above the low level of the morning. The volume of business was smaller during the early afternoon but the tone was steady on covering with December ruling at 30.25 and January at 29.71. arouud 2 o’clock, or S to 11 points ret higher.

JOHN F. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 10.—Liverpool futures were 20 to 30 points higher than due, which would indicate that the market parity is con sidered narrow enough the present. Our my kef developed an advance of 20 to 30 pointts on the opening trading. Pressure was absent, which. In conjunction with yesterday's spot re ports, suggests a more resisting attitude in spot circles, while the bullish technical conditions | created in our markets by the recent heavy seiling acted as a brake here. Holiday covering was a probability on fear | of bad weather developments over Sunday, while the possibility of a broader spot demand at this level had also to be considered; but the market is timid and gives way on any signs of re sumed pressure. It looked strong and hopeful around 29 cents for December, when a sudden break of 40 points occurred on adfice from New York saying: "Wall street and <>rtain Interests again heavy sellers; crowd thmks peace nog far off. and will be bearish; considerable south ern selling.’’ Thi« shows that bearish action Is now based on educational efforts to bearish views of peace. This view met with considera ble opposition. While it is granted that there might be a tvmporanr derangement of mill con tracts. it is a fact that there is no reserve supply in civilian goods, that civilian goods prices are higher than government limits, also | the probability that army needs will continue | for some time after peace comes, and that de- . rnand and consumption should broaden with the opening of shipping and territory. The feeling of victory and relief also are hardly to be an ticipated as bearish in their effect. Generally cloudy weather prevails over the belt, and rainfall was general over the north western quarter and in Louisiana and Missis sippi. Temperatures in the Atlantics under 50 are against lute growth. Indications are for cloudy, 'insettled weather. Spot advices from the interior indicate con siderably stronger sentiment against further concessions. Factors here hare very little to offer. The contract market rallied promptly to open ing figures when the selling week had passed, an>l ist steady at present around 28.90 c for De cember. Advices from Galveston say that larger extmrts nrv in view Do Not Get Careless With Your Blood Supply •I Impurities Invite Disease.

A few GRAIN CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—New breaks took place in the com market today, influenced exclusively by developments in the military and diplo matic situation. Opening prices, which ranged from l%c to 4c net lower, with November 81.12 to 81.13 and December 8110 to 81.11, were followed by declines in some cases to tinder the initial bottom figures.

FOCH SHATTERING GERMAN DREAM OF WORLD CONQUEST WASHINGTON. Oct. 10.—Foch is i striking to bring upon Germany a semblance of Waterloo to stress allied i determination for unqualified peace. The spectacular victory on the west front will carry to Germany more than any thing else to date, the futility of her I dreams of conquesL Napoleon, after two great disasters, | rose again and was not vanquished un- , til his Waterloo. Germany must not be I given even the opportunity to rise again in her military might, military men de clare. Already the smashing of Foch has affected the German people. According to reports to this government, public opinion, which was counting on a stop at the Hindenburg line, “is seriously at fected.” There is feverish recruiting everywhere in Germany. Bombardments Madden People "All deformed and exempted are ; taken. Workmen are replaced by pris- ; oners, by Russians and Foies —veritable > slaves—and by Belgian and French | evacues. It it reported that the allied > bombardments hav» maddened the peo ple.” But all available advices of an au- I thoritative kind indicate that elimina tion of the evil genius,- militarism, can I only be. attained by absolute defeat, and i Germany will only confess she is van- ‘ ! quished when her people see close at ; ■ hand, on their own soli, the horrors of I war. I Foch is now striking rapidly to this , end. To Drive Hun to Border Military plans of America and her al- ■ lies contemplate smashing back the Hun to his home defense lines in the west be fore diplomacy, by any chance, gives Germany any opportunity to withdraw unhindered. Military men are delighted, to put it mildly, over the developments on the western battle line. They foresee that the German retreat eastward between Cambrai and St. Quentin and the American smashing of tiie Kriemhilde line are the forerunners of a general withdrawal that will free northern France and Belgium of the enemy. As predicted some days ago, they think that this retirement can be ac complished before winter sets in. Military men privately express dis pleasure at the idea of granting the Germans a chance to evacuate occupied territories and haul his armies out with out damage. As the west front situa tion is now developing, they say. the German is destined to suffer heavily in his retreat. This fact is evidenced by official reports showing that the ! British bagged 10,000 prisoners Tues day. The present retreat is viewed as the direct result of the incessant hammer i ing all along the western line. Foch has kept the Hun in doubt as to his next move, and has made the shifting of reserves a difficult task. Now he has shaken the hold of the Boche on every important key of the western line and a severe punishment is in store for the fleeing Germans. Whether they will attempt to make a stand at lines improvised in the vi cinity of Le Cateau is doubtful, tor! reports indicate passage beyond that 1 point, and the disorganization is suffi-1 clent to make resistance just now doubtful. Incidentally, cavalry is playing a i heavier part than heretofore because of: the necessity for rapid action in keep-1 ing in touch with the fleeing forces. I America will have a larger cavalry force than previously, but emphasis is! still laid on infantry as the main re-1 quirement. Atlanta Live Stock (Corrected by W. H.
