BRITISH TRANSPORT
SUNK BY AUSTRIANS
Vienna Says Submarine Tor
pedOed Vessel in Adriatic.

Vienna, Sept. II (by wireless to
Tuckerton, n. J.).-An Austrian sub
marine, commanded by Lieutenant Won
Trapp, torpedoed and sank large
British transport few days ago in the
Southern Adriatic, according to an an
nouncement made here to-day.
There have been several reports OF
the sinking of British transports, the
most recent being that of September 9,
when a Bremen newspaper was quoted
in a dispatch from Berlin as announc-
ing that the British steamer Southland,
formerly the Red Star liner Vaderland,
serving as a transport, had been tor
pedoed in Turkish waters. Previously
a report came through Sofia that a
British transport had been sunk by
mine at the entrance TO the Darda-
nelles. There was uncertainty, how
ever. as to whether this report might
not refer to the sinking of the trans
port Royal Edward in the Egean Sea
on August IA, officially announced by
the British government.
Lieutenant Won Trapp, in command
of the Austrian submarine which
figures in the announcement from
Vienna. commanded the Austrian sub
marine Us, which sank the French
cruiser Leon Gambetta in the Straits OF
Otranto on April 26. with the loss OF
552 lives.

London, Sept. IA bombshell was
dropped into the Conscriptionist camp
last evening when J. II. Thomas, MEM
Der Of Parliament for West Derby, and
as istant secretary of the Amalgamated
Society of Railway Engineers, said In
the House of Commons:
81 am firmly convinced that the first
result Of the introduction of bill for
compulsory service would be social
revolution"
His appeal, uttered in solemn and
beseeching fashion, made a profound
impression in Parliament. Cabinet
ministers, including Premier Asquith,
came rushing in to hear his speech.
To-day, in an interview with The
Tribune correspondent, he amplifed
his speech, saying:
Few men have done more for re-
cruitng than myself. | have been in
strumental in sending to the army
every man it is possible to spare. If
by giving my life could help Britain
in the slightest degree to win the war
| would do so. have risked my whole
career in preventing our men from
striking during the war. But we have
reached the limit.
"Any attempt on the part of the Tory
military section here to impose con-
scription would result Immediately in
a bloody revolution. There's no pa
triotism among Conscriptionists in the
present agitation. Their chief aim is
winning in a political plot to depose
Premier Asquith, whom we, as well as
a great majority of Englishmen, regard
as indispensable.
Union Controls Railroads.
"My union, numbering 100000 men,
is unanimous against conscription.

To Tory C0nScripti0nistS
What Could Government Afraid of 100000 Miners
Do Against 100000 Workers. Asks j. H.
Thomas-Speech Stares Commons

They control the railroad service OF
this country. Besides this, the general
managers of various lines tell US that
not a single man more can be spared,
and, incidentally, no section Of the
community sent more men relatively to
the front than the railroad men.
"Then the Miners Union, affiliated
with US and numbering 100000, say
they won't have compulsory service.
The remaining unions, as evidenced by
the Trade Union Congress. take the
same view. The government, in the
case of the South Wales coal strike,
was afraid to exercise compulsory
powers against 100000 men. What
could they hope to do against 100000,
controlling one of the great and neces-
sarv services of Great Britain? Con-
scriptionists have reckoned without
their hosts.
"Old crusted Tories came to me in
the House of Commons yesterday even

Workingmen in this country are in

Paris, Sept. 17.-One of the reasons

so far as supplies were concerned.
Later ! developed the plan OF pur-
chasing the small trading schooner
North Star, of four-foot draft, to
risk and, if need be, lose her in an
attempt to thread the shoal waters of
the west coast of Banks Island, TO es-
tabhsh a base On Prince Patrick Island.
If possible, the first task in the pro
gramme of the Karluk had been to sail
north approximately along the mer-
idian forming the boundary between
Canada and Alaska until unsurmounta-
BILE distractions should be found in the
form Of either ice or new land, turning
then east to Banks Island or Prince
Patrick Island and establishing a base
for sled exploration.
Took Up Karluk's Task.
I now attempted to attempt the Kar-
luk's task by sled. If, as had been
commonly believed. the drift in the ice
north of Alaska proved to be to the
west, we would go by sled as far north
as it seemed safe, and then return to
our starting point or some other place
on the mainland, going later north
during the summer along Banks Island
with the North Star and Sachs, but If
we should find the drift in the ice
either negligible or else TO the north
or east, we would not return TO the
mainland, but would proceed. If no new
land were discovered, TO Banks Island
or Prince Patrick Island.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT LOSES AT
TEMPT TO HAVE BARNES
SUIT DISMISSED.
TO BARE SECRETS OF PARITY
First Line of Defense in $4,000 Libel
Suit overruIed-courtroom at SYRIA
cuse crowded-Republicans, Demo-
Gratis and ProeressiVes on Jury.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 21.--With the
examination of twenty-five men out Of
a panel of eighty, the Barnes-Roose-
welt $4,000 libel suit jury was COM
pleted on Monday.
Six and a half hours were occupied
in selecting the jury.
The twelve good men and true who
were finally selected after hard
days work number in their ranks
seven Republicans, three Progress
sives and two stray Democrats.
AS his first line of defense Roose-
welt set up the contentious that his
scathing statement about Barnes
boss methods made no personal
charge and carried no innuendo. This
was in the form of motion made by
his attorney, John NJ Bowers, to dis
miss the complaint 1t was promptly
overruled by Justice Andrews and the
case will go to trial on its merits.
The courtroom holds 800 people,
and it filled up early, and Justice An
drews gave strict orders to bailiffs to
admit no more people than could find
seats.
Colonel Roosevelt, accompanied by
Horace Wilkinson, Progressive state
chairman, and John d. Bowers, his
chief counsel, arrived at the court
house half an hour before time for
court to open.
Mr.. Barnes came in five minutes
later with his chief counsel, William
M. Ivens. He gave no recognition to
Mr.. Roosevelt
Barnes, wearing a tan waistcoat,
swung his chair around facing the
colonel within the rail, but Roose-
welt never took his eyes from the
jury box.
Mystery deep and dark enshrouded
the plaintiffs end of the suit, while
the spotlight of widest publicity
played over the plans of the coloners
defense.
The Roosevelt witnesses, most of
them. have been announced. The
Barnes forces have announced only
two of their witnesses.
Attorney Ivens said that Mr.. Barnes
was trying to conceal nothing and that
his direct testimony to prove the ut
terance and publication of the alleged
libel, wherein Colonel Roosevelt had
called him corruptionist, would re.
quire few witnesses.
Colonel Roosevelt is prepared &c
delve into the family secrets of the
New York G. o. P. for twenty. years
back, If the court will sanction it.
Barnes plans and witnesses will be
made known, said Ivens. after 1t be-
comes apparent how far the colonel
can go.
