Warships Conveyed Cymric
Through Danger Zone With
Liner Prepared for Attack

NEW YORK, August 21.-Passengers
and crew Of the White Star liner Gym

day that the Cymric had been con-
voyed for thirty-six hours after leav-
ing Liverpool August IL by relays of
British warships, five in number, and
that she had not been permitted to sail
unaccompanied until the war zone had
been left behind. Several passengers
said the periscope of a submarine had
been seen, but officers of the Cymric

the Mersey. where all outgoing ves-
sells could not fail to see it, displayed
the warning that German submarines
were lurking in nearby waters.
Black Ball Danger Sign.
This warning, the passengers said,
was in the form Of big black ball
hoisted at the top Of the pole. 1t had
been agreed among shipowners at
Liverpool. 1t was said, that the black
ball was to be the sign of danger when
the admiralty's warning of nearby
submarines came to port too late to
warn outgoing craft by messenger or
telephone. 80 - =.
Before the cymric was out of the
Mersey. sailors provisioned the life
boats and swung them outward The
passengers were assembled and as
signed their respective places in the
boats, so that there might be no con-

The cruiser dropped behind and the
all lights except candles were extin-
guished. and every portfolio was
blanketed. The passengers slept with

All next day the convoy was con-
tinued Four destroyers passed the
ship from one to another. each war
ship apparently patrolling a certain

according to the Cymric passengers,
darted back and forth and around the
ship, circling her frequently.
Some time during the night of the
18th the destroyers ceased their Solicit
tude over the liner and dropped be-
hind. When day came the convoy was
not to be seen and the Cymric's officers
told the passengers that the liner was
safely out Of the war zone.

SAYS AUTOMATIC PHONES
HAVE PROVED SUCCESS
Post Office Department odacials Sat
isfied With the Tests Made
Of New System.

Post Office Department officials ex-
press themselves as highly pleased with
the automatic phones which are at
present being tested in a system in
stalled in the Post ONCE Department
building, connecting every Office in the
building anu making connections with
the city post Office and the government
printing Office.
The government has no present con-
tract with the Bell Telephone Company
or it's subsidiary. the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. The telephone concerns have
declined to sign a contract which will
compel them. to allow the government
to connect telephones used for depart
mental and interdepartmental service
with the outside service of the tele-
phone system So the Treasury De-
partment has held up any agreement.
and the service is working on the
terms of the former contract until some
basis OF agreement can be reached.
Cause Of the Hitch.
The automatic system and the test
being given are the cause of the hitch
in the agreement with the telephone
concerns named. Pending the results
of the test If the companies still re-
fuse to come to the terms exacted there
will be no overtures on the part of the
government.
The system is in use in the middle
west, in some communities to the eX-
clusion of the older systems. There
are 10000 such phones in use in Los
Angeles. Crawfordsville, Ind. Is using
the system, as are many other Indiana
towns.
