U. S. EXPERTC MUST AID
BRITISH TO BEAT U-BOAT
Appointment of Commission to
Co-operate With Admiralty
Favored, Says Moore
CONGRESS MAY ACT LATER
No Disposition Shown nt Present to
Embarrass the Navy Department
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3,
Washington has shown considerable In
terest In the suggestion that an American
commission of naval experts should be ap
pointed to co-operate with the British Ad
miralty In the campaign against the Ger
man submarines. Representative Moore, of
Philadelphia, who has dlscufscd this mat
ter with the Navy Department, Is of tho
opinion that such a commission would not
only bo helpful, but extremely dcUrable
from aj American viewpoint.
"It Is generally conceded." said Con
gressman Moore today, "that the submarine
menace Is the worst problem which tho
British Admiralty has to contend with, It
was known before the war, more than three
years ago, that the Germans had caught up
with the submarine Idea, and were per
fecting themselves In the use of that vei
sel. This was called to the nttentlon of the
British Admiralty by Sir Percy Scott nnd
others hofore hostilities commenced. The
fact that Great Britain did not seem to be
fully aroused to the importance of the sub
marine nnd was too much Inclined to rely
upon the United States was called to the
attention of Congress before the President
presented his war message. i
"The great loss of shipping due to the
submarine since that time, affecting the ton
nage of America and the neutinl nation",
as well as that of 1 ngland, has given much
concern to the naval odlclals of the United
States. It has also given lisc to a feeling
In certain Congressional circles that, while
Great Britain Is retaining a fairly strong
hold on merchant ship construction, she has
not been making sufficient provlsto'n for the
protection' of peutrnl commerce, for ours
or for her own agalnst 'the enemy sub
marine. This has given rise to rumors that
there Is too much conseratlsm or self
rcllanco In the British Admiralty as at
present constituted, and that there prevails
there what might In the United States be
denominated the stubbornness of the "pull
back." Ar American commission made up
of experts competent to discuss submarine's
m!ght help to remedy this situation If It
prevails."
Asked whether Congress would be likely
to take any actlort on the commission prop
osition, Mr. Moore said: "1 have no doubt
It will he discussed and that in due course
some action will be taken. We are In
formed, however, that the Navy Depart
ment Is nllve to the situation and Is I lug
advised by the best experts of the country,
and for the present there Is no disposition
to embarrass the department. If submarine
losses continue to an alarming extent be
yond the proportions already reached, how
ever. It Is not Improbable, in view of the
large expenditures being authorized by Con
gress, and tho nid being directly extended
to Great Britain, that some inquiries as ro
the operations of the British Admiralty
may ensue."

LANCASTER TOBACCO MEN
BOOST THEIR PRICES HIGH
30
Some Declare They Won't Accept
Cents a Pound nnd Big Buyers
Hang Back
LANCASTER, Pa., Sept 3. Leaf tobacco
men are complaining about what they claim
are the unreasonably high demands of Lan
caster County tobacco growers for the new
crop, now about maturing. Some pt the
growers declare they will not ncccpt thirty
cents a pound now.
In spite of their confident assertions that
they helleve they will get twenty-five cents,
a feeling of uneasiness Is apparent among
them over the failure of big outside cigar
companies to buy. These concerns are cred
ited with carrying a reserve stock of leaf
sufficient for two years, which makes them
Independent, and would enable them to pass
over one year's crop If It were found to be
too high-priced to be profitable.
Last week a good deal of the new crop
was cut and housed. The crop generally
looks fine, but there Is much very small to
bacco, late planted, which cannot possibly
mature unless tho normal frost season Is
very much delayed,

curiosity was aroused here today over
the sudden decision of the British cruiser
Glasgow not to visit Buenos Aires. After

warship approached the harbor, hung
around all day Saturday off the port nd
then departed out to sea.
The fact that Argentina has patched up
her difference with Germany and Is no
longer hovering on the brink of a rupture
may have made the Glasgow decide not to
run any chances of violating Argentina's
