U-BOAT OFF COAST
British Warship Gives Warning That
German Submarine is Apparently
Waiting For Deutschland.

Providence, R. L., Nov. 15.-A Brit
ish warship lying off shore sent wire
less message to the Merchants and
Miners steamer Howard early today
giving notices of the presence of a
German submarine off the coast of
southern New England, Capt. John e.
Ryan of the Howard reported on the
arrival of his vessel here today.
The Howard was off Block island
when the message was received.
The British warship. Captain Ryan
said, gave neither her name nor posi-
ton. The message said the submarine
was waiting which was interpreted
to mean that she was in readiness to
act as convoy for the German subma-
rine trader Deutschland now prepar-
ing to leave New London for Bremen.

Washington. d. c., Nov. Is. Fur

Americas objections to Great Britain's
trade black list were considered GER
tain here today. A British reply to the
latest American protest, made public
last night by the state department de-
tends the British position and leaves
open the door for further exchange.
Great Britain's defense of the black

no contention, the note declares, that
the British have not the right to deny
the facilities of British commerce to
those who assist the cause of Britain's
enemies wherever domiciled.

Even these conclusions. it is assert.

measures and says that the end of the
war is not near enough In sight for

from which | clip the following:
"The average total family income IN

given out by the American Society fo1
Thrift. Between 1900 and 1914 the

| The only moral which the writer
was able to draw from the above was
that. THE average American of the

Now as am a working man with
about the average family and income
I question whether that moral Is the
logical one. By thrifty he must mean
to save. Now suppose all of the work
ing families take notion to save The
only way we can save is to quit buying
something that we have been in the
habit of buying.
AS a beginning suppose we all quit
buying tobacco. What happens?
Immediately those engaged in the
sale or production of the various forms
of tobacco find no sale for tobacco and
will at once quit the business. Then
the hundreds of thousands of workers
engaged in the tobacco business have
no Jobs and the competition for jobs
in other industries becomes flercer
and down comes wages. because men
out of work will consent to work for
any price that promises to furnish
bare living. So 1t seems that the only
result of our attempt to save is that
the amount which we intended to save
is taken out of our pay envelope before
we receive it. And so any attempt on
the part of a majority of the working
to failure and only results in the fur
Their lowering of our standard OF liv-
ing.
This subject is too big to be treated
in the prescribed limits of this depart
ment but little thought should make
it evident that thrift is not the solu-
ton of the problem presented by an
average income that is less than the !
cost of decent living. This method I
can only be successful when practiced ,

New York, Nov. 15.-The New York
Central railroad will shortly file in the
federal court here the first injunction
suit to be brought by an eastern road
to test the constitutionality of the
Adamson eight hour law. it was an
nounced today by Albert H. Harris,
general counsel for the New York
Central.
The action, it is understood, will be
directed against H. Snowden Marshall,
U. S. district attorney here and sew
eral local officers of the four trainmen
brotherhoods. A temporary stay will
be sought which would enjoin the de-
PENDANTS from instituting prosecutions
against the road to compel it to carry
out the law.
According to report published here
today the attorney general of the
United States will shortly select one
of the railway suits and push it
through to decision which, should
1t be unfavorable to the government,
would then be at once taken to the U.
S. supreme court
Railway managers comprising the
National Conference committee con-
tinued today consideration of whether
wholesale legal action to defeat the
Adamson eight hour law will be taken
or whether limited series of injunc-
tions will be filed. Consensus of opin-
ion was said to favor the former
course, which would result in approXi
mately 5000 actions, covering the en-.
tire railroad territory of the United
States. The cases are expected to be
in the courts within ten days. The
Newlands committee is to hold public
hearings on the railroad situation gen.
orally beginning next Monday. Two
developments stood out prominently
today in the new situation arising from
the forthcoming application Of the
Adamson law
First. the announcement that the
managers of the roads would probably
apply for injunctions against the law
in every federal court district in the
United States with a separate suit in
behalf of every one of the 200 rail
roads in every district. which they en- !!
ter. Should this step be taken. the liti |
cation involved run the ordinary |;
course of legal procedure. the eight !
hour law will be from eight months to !,
two years behind time in going into ;
effect even if found constitutional, it |
was declared
Second. the brotherhoods of train
men announced that they will make an
appeal to President Wilson to give
hem on January l. next, the eight
hour day which they say was prom
sed when the strike order was re.
called.
