Big SUBMARINE READY TO

BALTIMORE. July 19--lt is author
itatiyely reported that the German
super-submarine Bremen, bringing n
valuable cargo of dye'stuffs,I viii ar.
rive in Chesapeake Bay Sunday and
will occupy the berth of the super
submarine Deutschland. There are un-
mistakable signs that the Deutschland
Is preparing to depart for the Father
land. Her mail and cargo and fuel
supply are now aboard.
Just outside OF the Smile limit three
British cruisers, sent from Halifax,
and half dozen armed power-boats
await the departure of the Deutsch-
land. Several American revenue cut
tiers also are on guard to prevent any
attempt to attack the Deutschland
within the limits of American authori-
ty.
When informed today of the pres.
ence of the British warships, Captain
Koenig mimicked a man who was sud
denly startled. 'Iss DOT so?" he ex-
claimed, pretending to be alarmed.
Then the submarine skipper's merry
smile returned. "Oh, but I'm fright
ened," he said. He invited several of
the newspaper reporters to make the
voyage to Germany. All except one
declined with thanks. He raced away
to report to his paper. promising to
return in time. rThats one game
boy" said Captain Goenig. HE will
have one fine story to write. We will
introduce him to the realm OF Davy
Jones. to the whales and big fishes of
the deep"
When asked which route he would
take on leaving Baltimore, Captain
Koenig laughingly said: I'VE shall
take the submarine route. We have a
good sporting chance to leave without
molestation. We shall say au revoir,
our engines will start, and in a few
moments we shall-what do you call
it-'fade away There's Just as much
room underneath as on top OF the
water, and It is so quiet and delight
full there"

LONDON. July 19,-Premler AS,

Immediately for credit arrangements

The Premier made no suggestion as

GUS protest, and possibly retaliatory

answer of the United States to Eng.
lands action in blacklisting American
business firrs which have refused to
meet British terms in selling supplies

Acting Secretary of State Polk to-
day said that the government was
ready to act, but would wait a "rea-

Mr.. Polk admitted that the attack

WORKERS COOPERATE
TO PREVENT WAR
American and Mexican Labor Inter
ests Exert Themselves to Compose
Issues Between Countries.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 13.-What an
important part the organized labor
movements in Mexico and the United
States have had in preventing war be-
tween the two nations was shown at
length today, when the executive coun-
Gil made it's report here to the thirty
sixth annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor
The union labor movement in Mexico
started only with the presidency of
Francisco Madero. says the report,
but already it, has made almost in
credible strides
On Sept. %, 1918, the executive
council asked President Wilson to rec
ognize the Carranza government
On October 10. following, this was
done.
Samuel Gompers. president OF the
federation, kept In touch with the re-
representatives. Of the labor movement
in the neighboring republic through
out the winter OF 1915-16. In the
spring war between the two nations
seemed imminent. On May %, 1916,
Mr.. Gompers sent a message to the
Mexican labor leaders inviting them
to a joint conference that they might
carry back to their constituents the
real sentiment of the people of both
nations and enable them to know the
elements and conditions attempting to
drive both countries into war"
Five Mexican leaders arrived in
Washington in June While the labor
conference was sitting came the Car
rial incident. Mr.. Gompers sent a
telegram to General Carranza implor-
ing him 'in the name Of common
justice and humanity, in the interest
OF a better understanding between the
peoples and governments Of the United
States and Mexico. for the purpose of
giving the opportunity to maintain
peace and avoid the horrors of war,
upon the grounds of highest pa
triotism and love-" to release the
American soldiers taken prisoner IN
the Carrizal fight
That same evening the newspapers
announced Carranza had released the
soldiers
AS a result of tho labor conference
a Joint compact Was signed, by which
the union Ia borers, OF Mexico and the
United States agreed to do all posi- bic
to prevent war between the two nations
and to advance their many common
interests
The compact further urged the ap-
pointment Of joint commission to
consider international differences.
F4ts plan was actually carried eat IN
the Atlantic City Conference.
Later in the summer three repre-
segtatives Of ona OF the principal
Mexican labor decorations. the Fedora
cion de Stndicatos Obreros de la Re-
public Mex!cana, came to Washington
to ask Mr. Goulpers advice on various
matters. When they returned they car
ried formal MESA ge to the members
OF their organization, II which Mr..
Gompers outlined some Of the things
the Mexicans should keep In mind in
orga nizing their Industrial workers

The executive council adds:
There is an Identity of interest be-
tween the prop ~ holders and en-
ployers of both countries. The fifteen
millions Of Mexicans among whom low
standards of living and work, low
ages and long hours have prevailed
have constituted a real barrier toward
progress and betternent among the
workers IN this country. This is true
not only along the border line but its
influence is felt even among the central
States. There are now thousands OF
Mexican workers In the cities along the
border lines and in the mining regions
Of the West and in some OF the East
crn States In Los Angeles alone there
is a Mexican population Of about If
teen thousand. There are mining com
munities in Arizona and Colorado

Mexican workers have been i'm
posed upon and brought into this
country even as far az Chicago to be
used as strike breakers to defeat ef-
forts of the United States workers in
reducing hours Of work and securing
higher wages. The problem must be
met by the development OF the or
ganized labor movement In Mexico and
by the organization OF the Mexicans
within our own country
las clearly and keenly we have
been kept in touch with the progress
of the labor movement OF Mexico (for
be 1t always rememb ered that in Mexi-
co the revolutionary movement was
really labor movement), yet we were
agreeably surprised to learn of the
wonderful progress and achieven ents
of the workers OF Mexico In shortening
hours Of labor, increasing their wages
and standards. and improving their
conditions of work. and this particu-
larly since the overthrow OF Huerte
