largest shipbuilding plants in the United
States were being perfected in New York
yesterday by Edward NJ Hyde, former
president of the Bath (Maine) Iror
| Works.
Mr.. Hyde, who has just returned from
the South, announced the formation OF a
S4 100000 organization to undertake the

tion within six months. The concern

understood to have the backing of steel

kind in the far South, and is chiefly de-
signed to care for and promote the de-

German Embassy in Wash

Restlessness in Country

/ Berlin, via wireless to London, May 20
The German foreign Office yesterday re
ceived cable despatch from Ambassador
Bernstorf at Washington, urging th'
earliest possible reply to the American
note regarding the Lusitania incident.
| "Tension in America has been in
creased by the damage done the Amer
lean steamship Nebraskan," Bernstorh
cabled. "The Nebraskan incident is still
an unexplained mystery
Washington, May 29.-The German EN-
bassy here has become concerned over
the evidence of restlessness in this
country because Germany has not re-
piled sooner to the American note on
the Lusitania and related cases, and has
sent cable to the Berlin government
suggesting the wisdom of expediting the
German answer.
This information came out yesterday
in reliable quarter. 1t appears that
the recent statement of former Secretary
of State Robert Bacon in which he took
pessimistc view of the situation az
between this nation and Germany, was
in part responsible for the effort of the
embassy to hasten the reply.
In various ways of late there has
been evidence that the public was be-
coming impatient over the delay The
state department was without informa
ton yesterday as to when the reply
would come. 1t was also unable to con-
firm report from Berlin that it viii be
sent in two or more parts; that is, that
the first note from Berlin will seek an
agreement on the facts and that the at
titude of the German government on the
questions raised by this country will be
set forth in later document.
Government officials yesterday await
ed with keen interest the affidavit OF
Captain Greene of the American steam
ship Nebraskan, regarding the explosion
that damaged his ship off the coast OF
Ireland On Tuesday night. Ambassador
Page at London had cabled that the cap
tan's sworn statement concerning the in.
cdent had been given to Lieutenant Pow
ers. naval attache of the embassy at
Liverpool, and that il would be forward
ed at once.

Montreal May ga demonstration

colony of Montreal to celebrate Italy's
entrance into the war on the side of the
allies eliminated in a riot, when the
fiery sons of Italy marched to the office
of Henri Bourassais anti-war French
newspaper and demolished every window
in the place. Police reserves were called
out to cope with the mob, and three
arrests were made.
The celebration had been almost con-
cluded, and the Italians with bands and
flags had marched to the Italian con-
sUate on friendly visit. Rev. Mr.. Lat
toni made an impromptu address that
started the trouble. He cried; "Down
with Bourassa!" "Down with lie De-
voir! The crowd then stampeded for
the newspaper office, and only the most
strenuous efforts of the police prevented
it from completely demolishing the
building.

B. 8 0. SAYS CUT IN
RATE IS NOT LEGAL
Metropolitan Branch Commuters Told
Reduction Would Create a
Favored Class.

With the filing Of briefs and the hear
ing Of arguments. the third round Of
the battle between the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad and the metropolitan Branch
Commuters Association began before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday The commuters organized
several months ago to fight the proposed
increase in communication rates along the
Metropolitan branch of tn" Baltimore
and Ohio road.
The brief filed bv Attorney Parker for
tn. railroad contends that the restora-
ton of the lSO-trip quarterly ticket would
be in violation Of the law because it
ould create favored class. There
is no real Justification for the 1SQ-trp
ticket on a lower basis than the siXty-trip
ticket he says. The same class OF
passengers use both. the only difference
being that the lS0-trip Commuter gets
a - per cent discount. which is nothing
NOR" or less than wholesale rat. The
railroads brief declares that even under
tn" increased rates the commuters pa
tromag" will not be remunerative.
In IilinE the commuters brief. AttOr-
n"ys Daish and Hover declared that
the road has failed to prove the reason
ahIonrss of the proposed increased rates.
and rited numerous decisions of ths
Interstate Commerce Commission to show
tn. unrea soma hIeness of increasing rates
L. suburbs which have hecn built Up
q Il result Of those rates. 1t is said
the Washington communication service is
not lit to h" compared with that OF

The letter states that so per cent of

confessed poisoning the inmates.
The note was written in German on
December s last and was signed by
MOrs and A MenEe. There are a num-
Der OF phrases. symbols. and expressions.

the authorities do not understand.

cine glass, nicked and bearing other
marks which identified it as one men

waiting for a tidal wave of prosperity
to help them to prosperous condition.
Then there is the other 30 per cent,
who have no right to be in business and
never did have any right-who are living
on the capital of their creditors; who
are almost ready to throw up the sponge,

they know nothing about the first prin-
ciples of business.
Many of these are going out Of busi-
