PR|vAT|0NS BY AMERICANS IN
 GERMAN HANDS
Submarine Captain Says All Ships Bound for United States Were to Be Sunk

New York, Dec. 4.-DetaiIs of the capture of the Dutch cross-channel mail steamship Koningen Regentes by German submarines on November 10 and of her being escorted into the harbor of Zeebrugge, Belgium by a combined fleet of German airp1anes, submarines and destroyers were re- lated here today by Dr. Howard G. kimbley of San Francisco who was one of three Americans on board at the time. pr. Kimbley arrived on the steamship Ryndam from Rotterdam.
 We were about three hours from Flushing" said Dr. Kimbley, "when German airplane marked with a big black cross appeared and circled about us. The airplane discharged a couple of smoke rockets, and then another airship came into sight, and soon after a big gray submarine arose less than a hundred yards off our port bow. The submarine signalled to the captain of the Koningen Regen- tes to stop and notified him that he was to turn about and proceed to zeebrugge. Our captain, however, protested, and managed to send a wireless message to Flushing, which was answered by the appearance shortly after of two Dutch destroy CTS. With the appearance of the lat ter vessels there also came a second German submarine and for a time it looked as if there might be an en- counter between the two forces.
 Ship Threatened.
 'The Dutch destroyers yielded, however, and retired, but not before the submarines commander told our captain that if he did not immediate lv obey orders he would send tor pedo into us.
 "NVe had about seventy passengers on board-Be1gians and French, with a few Dutch, about half of them Wo- men and children. It was evident that many of the men passengers had papers they did not wish to fall into German hands, for almost simultan- eously with the appearance or the U-boat they began to throw packages overheard, several of which were picked up by the submarines and air ships. and by two German destroyers which also came out to meet us.
 ''The submarine captain who came aboard our ship was, with his officers, evidently half starved, judging by the way they ate and drank The hrst night aboard the captain, While at the table, talked more than he ev1- dently intended. He made the fol- lowing remark to me and to the cap- tain of our ship:
 mThe submarine fleet of Germany has been given general orders to sink every ship bound for American ports, regardless of nationality if it has con- traband aboard. The orders, however, have been temporarily suspended.'

 A CERTAINTY
Decision of Asquith to Reconstruct Cabinet is Taken as Promise of Greater Activity.

London, Dec. 4, 11:32 a. m.-The decision of Premier Asquith, on the advice of the war secretary, David Lloyd George, which is supported by other members of the ministry, to re- construct the cabinet is believed to have saved the coalition governmen again and ensured more vigorous prosecution of the war. There are some details yet to be arranged, but newspapers which have been the most severe critics of the governments al legged dilatory attitude express the con- viction that the premier will be able to announce before many hours an agreement with his colleagues on the vital question concerning the war council, the formation and size of which led to the crisis.
 Whether the council will be com posed of three, four or five members is still matter of discussion, while it's powers also are the subject of ne- gotiations Mr. Lloyd George and his adherents desire the smallest possible council, with power to conduct the war independently of the cabinet.
 Monday which usually is quiet day in the house of commons, prom ised interesting developments, in an- ticipation of which, members returned to town at an early hour.
 King Approves of Plan.
 Premier Asquith announced in the house of commons this afternoon that King George had approved of a re- construction of the government. MT. Asquith suggested that after today's business had been concluded the house adjourn until Thursday
 Premier Asquith stated that the re- construction of the government f1l- volved no departure in any shape or form of the policy pursued since the beginning of the war. He did not deny that the resignation of all the ministers were in hand.

SUPREME COURT IS URGED ID SPEED UP Asked to Ezpediate Hearing on
 Eight Hour Law DEC. IS PREFERRED DATE
Department of Justice Takes Action COncurred in By RaiiroadS-Em- pIOyes to Be Protected During Litigation

Washington, Dec. 1.-The supreme court was formally asked today to ex- pedite hearing of the Missouri Okla hona and Gulf railroad case, chosen to determine constitutionality of the Adamson act passed in Septemb Der when a nation wide railroad strike was imminent
 A motion, concurred in by the rail- roads, to set the case flor hearing upon a day as early as may suit the convenience of the court,' was pre- sented personally in open court by Solicitor General Davis, of the depart ment of justice. Such motions usually are acted on a week after presenta- ton. The date of December IS was understood to be preferred by all counsel, to enable adequate prepara- tion for arguments and filings of the briefs. It was believed certain that the court would assign the arguments before the holiday recess, December 22. It was regarded as possible, but very unlikely, that a decision would be rendered before the law becomes effective, January 1.
 To Protect Employees.
 A stipulation for suspension of all litigation over the Adamson act and for protection of railroad employees financial interests pending the courts decision in the last case was included in the motion. The compact is signed by Assistant Attorney General G. Car roll Todd and E. Marvin Underwood and Special Assistant Frank Hager- man for the government and Walker D. Hines, committee chairman of the railroads attorneys, and Arthur Mill Ter, attorney for the Missouri, Okla homa and Gulf railroad.
 A recital of proceedings in which Federal Judge William c. Hook on November 22, at Kansas City, in the test case declared the Adamson act unconstitutional and void" will be given in the motion.
 The railroad brotherhoods were not represented officially in the proceed ings today nor signatories to the stipulation, but are entitled to have attorneys participate in the argume ents, although such action is understood not to be contemplated. In the pend ing case Judge Hook dismissed the bill as to the brotherhood chiefs who originally were made defendants leaving as the only defendants United States District Attorney Francis M Wilson of the Western Missouri dis , trict, who was enjoned from enforc- ing the law.

 To Repeal Army Measure.

 Two proposed @ food embargo. Onc would regulate transportation of cold storage foods and another would reg ulate the admission of farm products and manufactured food stuffs to the parcel post and reduce the rates on food.
 "The enactment of either of the bills" said Representative Fitzger- aid, Twill bring immediate relief to the country. The people want action. They are heartily tired of talk and in- vestigations.'
