years OF age who enlisted in the Dis

superior to that of nc parent, sus-
tains an opinion on that rendered

THE ground Of the decision" the

Pay and a half for Overtime
With 8-Hour Day Wanted.

NEW YORK, August "A commit
tee of fifty men continued today the
counting of the strike vote, cast by
100000 employees on 225 railroad sys-
TENS in the United States. Timothy
Shea, who is in charge oi the count
ing, said he believed the vote will be
almost unanimous TO quit work if the
railway officials persisted in their re-
fusal to grant the demands of the
men for an eight-hour day and time
and half for overtime.
The counters expect to finish today
the counting of the vote in the east
ern territory. They will then take
up the western vote When the final
result is known mass meeting will
be held to explain the controversy
to the 600 chairmen of the adjustment

the ballots here to be counted.
A meeting of the national confer.

When the complete vote has been
counted, probably on Saturday OF
Monday, Shea said, there will be a
meeting here of the national confer
ence committee of railways and the
result will be submitted by the
brotherhood Negotiations then will
be conducted in the hope that sat
isfactory settlement may be reached
A strike would be called only if the
negotiations failed.
"The railroad workers feel that
their claims are just and righteous, >
Shea said. The eight-hour day is the
going day" for laboring people and
as penalty for working men over
time the railroads must pay time and
a half overtime. Railway employees
do not care to work overtime. They
desire recreation and rest with their
families. The eight-hour day is rec
ognized by the United States govern.
ment and every state in the union.
"The railway employees are not ask
ing an increase in pay, but only a
shorter working day for the same
wages for which they are now giving
ten hours service"
Three mediations appointed by the
United States Department of Labor
were today to confer with manu-.
factrers of women's garments and
with leaders of union of their EN-

Passes SoIomon,s Island.

BALTIMORE, Md, August 2.-The
Deutschland was reported as passing
Solomon's Island Maryland, about
eighty miles from the Virginia capes,
at 2:30 O'Clock this morning.
The Solomon Island dispatch said
that the Deutschland was steaming at
a speed of about sixteen knots an
hour: that there was no indication
when she would stop, and that it
seemed she was goi.5 right down to
the capes.
Sailing plans of the Deutschland
were carefully guarded secret, but
when she left Baltimore there was a
belief that she would proceed first to-
ward Newport News On the other
hand there was an expectation in
some quarters that the submersible
would seek a quiet cover or inlet
somewhere in lower Chesapeake Bay
and there await favorable opportunity
to make dash through the allies
blockade off the capes.
The Deutschland sailed from Balti-
more late yesterday afternoon with a
declaration from her commander Cap
tain Paul Koenig, that he would take
her safely home in spite OF the al
lied warships waiting for her OFF the
virginia capes. The submersible was
towed out off the slip where she was

berthed twenty-three days ago at $40
o'clock this afternoon and it is expect
ed that she will put into Newport
News between s and o'clock tomor-
row morning. After getting into mid
stream the tow line of the tug Thorn
as F. Timmins was cast off and the
Deutschland proceeded down the Pata-
co river under her own power. The
Tlmmins went to one side, the coast
guard cutter Wissahickon to the 9TH
er, and the police boat Lannan brought
up the rear to prevent undue crowding
by the fleet of launches that follow
ed.
Annapolis, thirty miles south of
here, reported that the Deutschland
passed there at S:45 o'clock steam
ing about twelve mies an hour. The
tug Timmins alone was cbnvoying and
only one vessel was following, a news
paper dispatch boat. Weather condi-
tions at that time were favorable.
Spies Were On Guard.
Capt. Koenig and his crew of twen-
ty-seven men, put to sea with the
knowledge that man had telephoned
agents of the entente allies that the
Deutschland had started. They knew
how he had watched at the end of a
nearby pier, day and night but the
captain went out of Baltimore har-
Dor smiling and waving his cap. His
last words in the harbor were of
praise for America and for his treat
ment there by customs authorities.
He said he came hece dubious about
his reception"
Capt. Koenig said that he had learn
ed eight warships of the entente al
lies were watching and waiting for
/ him at the edge of a radius of five
miles I'VE shall have to pass unseen
within that radius in order to escape"
he said. I'VE shall have to make that
passage under conditions not entirely
advantageous to us. Were the water
at that point deeper it would be easier
We could submerge deeply enough to
pass underneath the warships But
the water there is not $50 feet deep.
We shall. therefore. have to pass be.
tween the warships."

Headed by Lieut.. A. N. Drake, of

posed of four men arrived in Bruins
wick yesterday afternoon and will
this morning open recruiting sta
ton in this city. 1t has not been de-
cided yet whether the station will
have headquarters at the Riflemen's
armory or in the postoffice building.
Lieut.. Drake stated yesterday that
he did not know how long the station
would be maintained in Brunswick
but he was of the opinion that the
squad would be here for some time
squad was sent to each of the
twelve congressional districts in the
state on Tuesday from Macon, and
apparently Brunswick has been made
the headquarters for the Eleventh
district. The recruiting officers will
secure men only for the Georgia reg
iments at Macon. they will not be
enlisted for any specific company
but will be assigned to the various
regiments after they reach the camp
grounds. Those in the party besides
Lieut.. Drake are Sergeant ]. w. Kay,

SURE To DEFEAT
SAVANNAH BILL
SENATE'S POSTPONEMENT NOT
SENTIMENT ON RECALL
BILL.

ATLANTA, August 2.-The post
ponement yesterday by the senate of
the Savannah charter bill was not an
accurate index to the sentiment of
that body concerning the bill, accord
ing to information gained from relia-
BILE sources
At least three senators who voted
to postpone the bill will vote against
the bill when it goes on it's passage,
according to statements they made
after the senate acted
The motion to postpone action on
the bill until tomorrow (Thursday)
morning Immediately following con-
firmation of the journal was made by
Senator A. A. Lawrence cf the First
district, the author of the Bit, his
, reason being that he did not have
votes to pass it yesterday.
The widespread interest that is be-
ing taken in this measure throughout
. the state was shown by the large
number of spectators who crowded
into the senate chamber when the bill
Cdilc up. II was SCUeuuleu 10 Dc pldC-
ed on its passage and would have been
but for the action of the senate in post
poning the bill until Thursday.
That the bill will be defeated when
, it comes up, as this will have the same
is confidently claimed by its oppo-
nents. They declare they will not
particularly object to the senate post
poning action on the bill every time
it ocmes up, as this will have the same
effect in the end as if the bill were
, voted down.
Prohibition members of the house
and senate express the settled convic-
ton that the purpose of the proposed
recall in the Savannah city charter
is to GUST Mayor w. j. Pierpont from
office because he has enforced the pro
hibition bills in that city, and hence
they do not hesitate to upset the long
established precedent of allowing local
delegations to control matters OF local
legislation.

LITTLE MARY MILLER
PROVES HER SELF HEROINE
IN CUMBERLAND TRAGEDY

The great training that young folk
both boys and girls, receive from their
great organizations. the Boy and Girl
Scouts, is told very forcibIy in the
details of the drowning on Cumber-
land island Tuesday Of Mrs. s. j.
Bayne. of Montgomcryf, Ala, when
little Mary Miller, >ilirteen years of
age, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A.
Miller Of this city, proved herself
heroine by saving the life of lit
tie jeff Bayne, the 7-year old son Of
the unfortunate lady who lost her life.
and who made Goble effort to rescue
Mrs. Bayne.
This little thirteen year old girl,
during all of the excitement when the
little bateau capsized, never lost her
sense of responsibility, and with the
calmnc3s Of a life.saver. she fought
hard to save two lives.
From accounts Of the unfortunate
accident it seems that Mrs. Bayne and
her little son occupied the small bat
eau They were grabbing in the mid
die Of creek about 80 feet wide. Lit.
tie Mary Miller was not in the boat
as vas first stated, but wa in another
boat nearby. When she heard the
splash and realized that the bateau
had capsized she hastily removed her
shoes and a portion Of her clothing,
and, being an expert swimmer, started
out for the mother and son, who went
under the water when the boat cap
sized Little Mary stated that Mrs.
Bayne came up with her little son sc.
cured in her arms. BY this time little
Mary had reached the scene. swim
ming some forty or fifty feet. She
knew that her aunt, Mrs. Bayne, was
good swimmer, therefore she took
