NAVAL BILL FINALLY PASSED. Big Battleship Construction Yard in
 West Is Approved.

Washington, Aug. 17.-As the naval bill finally was perfected today, the Pacific coast won it's first for a big battleship construction yard at Puget Sound but lost the appropriation for a submarine and torpedo boat base on Columbia river. The latter was dropped out pending the report of a commission. Battleship construction yards were also provided for Boston, Philadelphia and Norfolk
 The s50O,000 item for deepening the channel to the New York Navy Yard, so as to float the greatest warships at any tide, was dropped out of the bill, despite urgent requests by President Wilson that it be retained.
 All the disputed items now are cleared up and the bill with the big building program, the greatest in the history of the United States already perfected, is ready for the presidents signature.

DUTCH CLAIM FATHERHOOD

The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. IT, A retired Dutch army officer claims fatherhoOd of the transatlantic sub marine service recently inaugurated by the "Deutschland." JOnkheer J. Sandberg, formerly of the Netherlands East Indian Army, says that more than a year ago he addressed a letter to Admiral Won Tirpitz through the German Consul-General at The Hague, setting forth the idea of breaking the British blockade by this means and recommending it's execution. A copy of the letter was a few days later brought to the notice of Herr Ballin, the managing director of the Ham, berg America line. The latter was much taken with the plan, and con- suited with the competent authorities regarding it's execution.

WILSON SENDS OUT
 CALL ID K. K. HEADS
Continued from First Page.)

railroad managers contend they have no authority to speak shall be in cluded in the negotiations.
 In that way an old dispute between the managers and the brotherhood of- ficfals would be opened and probably result in an inquiry into the ownership and control of the seventy-five roads in question.
 Investigation will prove, the en- ployes' representatives insist, that the larger railroads for which the man. agers are acting control the majority of the smaller lines.
 Among the managers it was point ed' out that the presidents have been constantly advised of the negotia- tions with President Wilson and the feeling prevailed that the attitude of the railroad heads was now the same as the managers committee, although no one could forecast what effect a personal conference with the presi- dent would have. The railroad pres- idents are expected to make a strong plea for preservation of the principle of arbitration.
 In preparation for the conference between President Wilson and the GAO employees, chairs were placed to- day in the east room of the White House, the scene of many notable social events.
 Another indication of the delicacy of the situation was seen in the de- cision at the White House not to make public the presidents remarks to the men. at this time at least It was first intended to publish the presidents statement and then his statement to the managers, thus lay Ing the case before the high court of public opinion. It was believed that wAile there was hope of moving the committee of managers by appeals to the presidents or the finfyciers. the negotiations would be kept confden- tial.
 The $40 men were in their secret meeting a little more than an hour and then they marched in a body to the White House. The day was hot and the men, many of them stripping 2 ofs their coats, took the shady side of Pennsylvania Ave. They made quite column as they marched along to the treasury, where they assembled In a military order and then proceed ed to the White House where they went to the east room. They planned 10 meet again soon after seeing the president.
