BERNSTORFF VISITS WILSON; Daniels Reports Germans Apparently1 Comply With International Law Rulings. Newport, R. L, Oct. 9.-Kaiser Wil- helm's submarine U-3, after bringing the war to the very doors of America, had disappeared this afternoon, al- though the whole Atlantic seaboard was on edge awaiting news of the grim little submersible, and allied war- ships patrolled the waters off the; coast. Not one word concerning the move-1 ment of the U-53 filtered in during the day. Admiral Gleves expressed' the conviction tonight that only one ;ubmarine was engaged in the raid! that sent six unarmed ships to the bottom. Other sources had previously reported that at least two and possi- bly three had been engaged. Late this afternoon the entire American torpedo1 flotilla stationed here was ordered out to search for the missing crew of the steamer Kingston, one of the victims, of the submersible. Two survivors of the Kingston were picked up late in the day off the Nantucket light ship. Wild rumors were circulated this afternoon that three allied warships searching for the U-53 had been torpedoed off Nantucket but the commandant of the training station reported that no wireless con- taining such information had been re- ceived. Ambassador Visits White House (By Roger J. Bender, United Press Staff Correspondent.) Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 9.-Less than an hour after President Wilson had publicly announced he would hold.. Germany to a "complete fulfillment" of her submarine pledges, Ambassador von Bernstorff late this afternoon as- sured the President that the German government intends to keep its prom- ises made during the Lusitania ne- gotiations. The President's statement was issued just before the German ambassador arrived at the summer white house for the first conference these two have held in many months. Von Bernstorff was with the President 15 minutes. They did not discuss peace. The President was advised this aft- ernoon In a preliminary report from Secretary of the Navy Daniels that the German submarine active in the steam- ship lines off Nantucket had appar- ently complied with all rules of in- ternational law before acting. Daniels was expected to submit a detailed re- port later. The German government, President Wilson declared in a state- ment this afternoon, "will be held to the complete fulfillment of its prom- ises to the government of the United States," regarding its conduct of sub- marine warfare. The President issued this statement: "The government will of course first imform itself as to all the facts that there may be no mistake or doubt so far as they are concerned and this country may rest assured that the German government will -be held to the complete fulfillment of its prom- ises to the government of the United States. I have no right to question their willingness to fulfill them. (Signed) "WOODROW WILSON." In official circles the situation was regarded as fraught with. ominous pos- sibilities, but pending definite informa- (Continued on Page Six.) U-.

MICHIGAN UNION STARTS CAMPAIGN FR6 MEMBERS( "Golden Rule" Warden Resigns Buffalo, Oct. 9.-Thomas Mott Osborne, philanthropist, reformer and "golden rule" warden of Sing Sing prison, has resigned as warden, Su- perintendent of Prisons Carter announced this afternoon. The resigna- tion will take effect October 16th. Osborne retired voluntarily, Carter said, the resignation, however, was not entirely unexpected. Several escapes of other prisoners from Sing Sing during the past few months had aroused the displeasure of the state superintendent, who on one occasion declared that if the escapes did not stop something would be done. In a speech before the American Prison association here Sat- urday, Carter advocated "a little more sense and a little less sentimental slush in prison matters."~ Banquet Tendered Captains of ious Competing Teams in Contest Var.

During the general discussion which followed the dinner, final arrange- ments were made concerning the methods to be employed in this fall campaign which is to deal both with life and yearly memberships. In order to increase the enthusiasm among the sub-committeemen, it was decided to place the work upon a com- petitive basis, the winners to receive appointments to various important Union committees, according to the number of points gained by them. The following basis of points was adopted: each yearly membership shall count one point, each pledge to a life mem- bership three points, and each life membership, upon the first payment, will count five points. The captain of the winning team is to receive a com- plimentary trip with the Union Opera cast on the annual tour. This evening a supper will be given at 5:30 o'clock at the Union, for the captains and members of the various committees. Following this, talks will be given by Staats Abrams, '17E, Glen M. Coulter, president of the Union, Robert Collins, 17E, and-Joseph Meade, '17E, general chairman in charge of the campaign. The following men have been chosen as captains for the various competing committees: F. J. Thieme, Jr., '18E, Harold A. Taylor, '17E, T. S. Cox, '17, Wm. K. Niemann, '17, J. W. Neumann, '17, J. D.

Dr. Rice last night gave the first of a series of addresses that he will de- liver this week at the Methodist church in the interests of the Uni- versity Y. M. C. A. He took for his theme the tempta- tions that assail the university student and pleaded with his hearers not to give the devil the advantage by giving him "the under-hold." The meetings, which are to be held every night this week, are to be de- voted to discussions of constructive Christianity, and Dr. Rice has an- nounced that in line with this pur- pose he will be glad to consult with any student on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday afternoons. Dr. Rice will be remembered as the speaker at the "pep" mass meeting held in the fall of 1914, and the stu- dents who heard him then will un- doubtedly be glad to have this oppor- tunity to hear him again. Dr. Rice has consented to talk to both university women and men. This was arranged because of the great de- mand which the women have made for an opportunity to hear him. ALLIES CONTINUE GAINS ON SOMME British Cavalry Pursues Bulgarians; Russians Destroy Turkish Boats in Torpedo Raid. HUGHES ATTACKS EIGHT-HOUR LAW Candidate Hits Hard at Administra- tion in Third Campaign Tour Speech. LARGE TRANSPORT SUNKI ANALYSIS OF SETTLEMENT London, Oct. 9.-Further allied vic- tories were reported from various war fronts today. On the Somme the Brit- ish war office announced allied troops are now within two miles of Bapaume, the immediate objective of their great drive. They pushed forward today east of Le Sars. For the first time it was stated the allies are now fighting on territory north of the Ancre brook. In the Balkans, occupation of the villages of Cavearmah, Ormanli, and Haznatar by the British was an- nounced and British cavalry has joined in pursuit of fleeing Bulgarians and has reached the line of Kararaska- Homondos. After several unsuccess- ful attacks against the Bulgarian lines on the Dobrudja the Russo-Rou- manians have withdrawn to their former positions. Petrograd seemingly contradicted this claim with the statement that "in the Dobrudja the Russians are fortify- ing newly conquered positions." Aus- tro-German lines in the region of Vladimir-Volynski have been occupied. Destruction of numerous Turkish sail- ing vessels by a Russian torpedo flotilla that raided the Black Sea ports of Samsun and Sinope was claimed by Petrograd. The allies suffered a serious blow in the destruction of the transport Gallia, bearing 2,000 French and Serb- ian troops, by an enemy submarine. The official Paris statement did not indicate the location of the disaster, but reported that 1,362 of the soldiers had been rescued and landed at Sar- dinia. The Gallia was a (vessel of 14,- 966 tons, built three years ago. WORK ON YEAR BOOK STARTS EARLY; TO INCREASE SALES E. F. Walsh, 117, and R. W. Harbert, '17, Secure Engraving Work in Chicago. With the outlook bright for a very successful year, work has already been started on The Michiganensian, the University year book. The subscrip- tion campaign will be put in motion earlier this year than last with the hope of a greater sale than before. Managing Editor Edward F. Walsh, '17, and Business Manager Ralph W. Har- bert, '17, have just returned from a business trip to Chicago where they secured the highest grade of engrav- ing for this year's edition. It has been the general opinion of the campus in the past that The Michiganensian was a book to be pur- chased by seniors only. As an au- thentic record of all the classes on the campus The Michiganensian should be of great interest to every student,1 both underclassmen as well as seniors. All seniors are asked to arrange sit- tings for their pictures as soon as pos- sible. Promptness in the matter will: greatly aid the staff in the production' of The Michiganensian. (By Perry Arnold, United Press Staff Correspondent.)f Newark; N. J., Oct. 9.-=Candidate Hughes loosed his heaviest battery of assault on the Adamson eight-hour/ law here today in a speech inaugurat- ing his third campaign tour. WithoutI using names he ironically declared "do not run away, and dream that yout will have courage in a future day," in referring to what he said was the Democratic administration's "capitula-i tion and humiliating surrender to n4t duress." It was the Republican nominee's most careful analysis of the Demo- cratic settlement of the railroad strike, which in his previous speeches he had dubbed, "the paramount issue of thet campaign." He went into great detail to declare that the bill was not an eight-hour measure but "merely an in-I crease of wages by fixing a differentt basis for calculating wages." 'He read letters dated as far back as{ July 29, 1916, to controvert the Demo-t cratic claim that the crisis in the rail- road situation was a "sudden" one. The letters came from the chamberI of commerce of the United States, urg- ing an inquiry.- "What is the purpose of this at- tempt to make the public believe that this bill fixes an eight-hour working1 day?" he asked. Manifestly in order to endeavor to justify this extraor- dinary action of the administration in its abject and humiliating surrender{ of principle in demanding and secur- ing this legislation without any proper inquiry as the price of peace." COMEDY CLUB TO MEET SOON, PLAY NOW BEING SELECTED A meeting of all members of the Comedy club will be held in the Cercle Francais rooms Thursday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock.
