TALLY the same work as 10 performed

tended that 1t was a discrimination to
allow q Navy Department clerk thirty
days. while a clerk doing the same class
received only fifteen days.

achievement with his life. He re-

Washington, July 2.-The British
owned steamship Armenian of the
Leyland line was torpedoed and sunk
by the German submarine U-38 20
miles west of Trevose head, Cornwall
England, on Tuesday night, and a
number Of Americans were lost The
information came in dispatches to the

coiored. who were crossing with the
ship.
The Armenian sailed from Newport
News June II with cargo of horses
consigned to Avonmouth, west coast
of England. for the English army.
The facts in the case as obtained
from Consul Armstrong at Bristol and
all the information obtainable here as
to the character of the vessel were
telegraphed to the president at Corn
ish, N H.
State department officials do not re-
gard the information now at hand as
sufficient on which to express an opin-
ion and especially on which to make
intelligent representations to Ger
many. The department therefore
cabled to Ambassador. Page to send
on at once all the details he could
secure.
The main point in the case of the
Armenian is whether she is an actual
member of the British navy as troop
ship or horse ship. She could be such,
either by having been taken over by
the government itself for that purpose
or by the government itself having
chartered the ship, and therefore MAX
ing it warship subject to attack on
sight by German war vessels.
