NO DEFINITE STEPS TAKEN TO REGULATE
 EXCHANGE RATES

London. August 19.--N:H p. m.)-Nego- tiations are proceeding among the leading financial and governmental authorities in regard to the problem of American ex- change rates, but there are so many de- tails to arrange that no definite announce ment is expected for sometime, unless the treasury. in view of the seriousness of the situation. should decide on quick action.
 The belief prevails in financial circles that America as a matter of self-interest would prefer to take a loan of one. two or five years duration. rather than such a huge quantity of gold as Europe appa- rently is willing and able to ship. Nearly S27, 800 900 already has been sold from the Bank of England since last Saturday, and opinion favors loan or the establishment of credit as likely to cause less dls. turbance in the money market and specu. lstion in New York.

 A.

 The submarine, Nebeker said, was seen before it launched the torpedo, but there was no time to escape it.
 Captain Finch, who is suffering from injuries to his leg, said last night that he did not see the submarine but ob- served the torpedo approaching.
 Tt was then impossible to escape it." tine captain said We had only eight minutes to get the boats away and save all on board
 George l.. Money of Stratford. Ontario. said that many passengers were on deck when their attention was attracted to the steamer Dunsley, the boats of which were being launched.

 Tt was marvellous how so many boats were got afioat. It spoke well for the discipline of the crew. It was an hour and half swimming"
 A member of the crew said when the steamer was struck she was going at 1G knots, making for the Dunsley. When the torpedo struck portion of the shir was torn away and he saw the bodies of coal trimmers and of five engineers whose watch was below blown to pieces and into the sea.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 TAKES UP MATTER OF
 THE GERMAN AGENTS
Names of German Embassy Officials
 Mentioned in Published s-s Hss Reports

Washington, August 19-President Wilson took up officially today re- ports that German agents have been unduly active in the United States. Later it became known that the de- partment of justice would investigate all charges that there have been vio- lations of American neutrality.
 The President discussed the ques tion with Attorney General Gregory, asking what steps had been taken and whether anything had been discovered calling for action. He was told that the departments inquiries had developed no information to warrant prosecu- lions.
 The Attorney General told the Pres ident that he had not read carefully the charges published in the New York World that German agents with the approval of the German government had fomented strikes in munitions fac tories and engaged in other such ac- tivities, but that as soon as the dis closures now being made by that news k)aper were completed the facts alleged would be investigated.
 Because of the mention of the names of German embassy officials in the published reports, President Wilson probably will discuss the situation with Secretary Lansing in the near future
