SUBMARINE HOLDS UP
6 SHIPS SAME TIME
International News Service.
HAVRE, France, Aug. 14.—One of
Ihe most during feats of a submarine
commander so far recorded came to j
light today with the arrival here of a
Dutch vessel having aboard Ihe crow
of the French steamer Marie and a
portion ot the crews of the Norwegian
steamers Credo and Soro
■Vocorutng to the storv told by the
nan of the three ships, i submarine
held up their own anti three other
vessels at the same time off the Kng
lish coast. All six of the vessels were
compelled to lay to while the Germans
made an examination of their nation
ality. Having determined the question
to their satisfaction, the submarine
then proceeded to sink the French
steamer in plain sight of the others
after ordering the crew to take to
their boats. The Norwegian vessels
were then torpedoed and sent to the
bottom in the order named and also
in full view of the others. Appar
ently finding nothing objectionable
about the others, all of which were
neutrals, they were told that they
could go.
WILSON STRIVING TO
PREVENT R. R. STRIKE
_
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—In a lust
endeavor to prevent a nation wide
i railroad strike being precipitated
through the failure of the railroadmen
to reach an agreement through the
federal mediation board, I'resident
Wilson has taken a personal hand in
the matter and wiU use all influence
j at his command to prevent u rupture.
I Tho president has issued a request
that the representatives of the rail
roads and brotherhoods meet him ut
the White House today for a confer
ence.
Although the Idea is scoffed at by
the railroaders, it is widely believed
that if the railroads get enough men
to fill the places of the brotherhood
men, the latter will not strike.
It is also widely rumored that in
the event of a general strike the presl
don! will have soldiers taken positions
in order that the traffic of the country
may not come to it complete standstill.
The latter rumor is discredited, how
ever, by those close to the adminis
tration. To all appearances, on the
results of the conference today will
depend the strike question.
