IlO SuruiUoYs of Sea
Fight Reach Harwich
By Associated Press

Harwich, England. Sept 2S, via
London. A. M.-Survivors to the
number of 10 from the British
cruisers Aboukir. Cressy and Hogue,
German submarines. arrived at Har-
wich and Parkeston. three miles west.
last night. OF the survivors 80 were
officers and the others seamen. Ac-
cording to estimates obtained from
the survivors. about 700 men in all
of the crews, approximating 1000
men, were saved. Crowds of towns
people silently watched the arrival of
the cruiser and a f1otilla of destroyers
bearing the survivors. The crews of
the welcoming boats in the harbor
were cheering those who had been res
cued from the sailors bed of honor
in the North Sea. The news of what
had happened spread like wildfire,
although nobody had been allowed to
talk directly with the survivors. In
the crowd there were soon many tear
full faces. for most of those along the
pier and beach had relatives or friends
aboard the sunken cruisers.
Following the landing of the unin-
jured survivors a little hospital boat
showed off from the pier and took off
the injured from the cruiser and the
destroyers. Many of the survivors
had spent some time struggling in the
water. but few showed any serious
effects of their experiences. They
walked through the line of question
ing faces with firm steps and smiling
as If a submarine attack was no very
unusual experience. Their clothing,
however, was something to marvel at
Most of them wore blankets or even
pieces of burlap sacking, while others
were protected from the chill night
air by llama coats such as seamen use
on night watches.

of the state by endorsing the Demo-
cratic candidate, although he is no
firmer upon the question than the Re-

How can you answer the very pos

be unwise and impolitic, but absolutely
unsafe for US to accede to your wishes,
because, judging from your treatment

How can you face the Republican

NEW YORK, May las May Day
is the date that most of the contracts
between employers and union en-
ployes in the East expire, much sig
nificance is attached to opinions ex-
pressed by labor leaders that never
before have labor conditions been bet
ter than today. Hugh Frayne, gen.
eral organizer. speaking for the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and Tim
othy Healy, president of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Stationary Fire
men. based their optimistic state
merts, they said, on the fact that
there are no labor troubles of conse-
auence in the East and that the large
army of unemployed few weeks ago
has been reduced to a minimum by
the opening of much new work.
In New York city today was sig
nalized by an unusual large number
of parades and demonstrations by
socialists and their allied trade unions
as international day. These parades
in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the
Bronx found thousands of garment
workers in line and each ended with
park meetings at which the
speakers discussed the eight-hour law
and demanded better working condi-
tions for factory employees.
