WHITE STAR LINER CYMR|C |S
 TORPEDOED SOMEWHERE AT SEA

the White Star company at Liverpool is that the steamer was. torpedoed about noon today.
 The White Star company from re- ports 1t has received. believes the Cymric was torpedoed about noon today. The steamer carried no pass engers.
 The Exchange Telegraph company understands that the Cymric was torpedoed by a German submarine in the Atlantic.
 The Cymric left New York. April 29 with an enormous cargo of war munitions. As she usually makes the voyage from New York to Liverpool in 10 days, she was therefore, within a day or two of her destination. It is considered probable, in the ab- sence of definite details, that the dis aster to the Cymric occurred off the west coast of Ireland. but whether on the northerly or southerly route cannot be stated
 The fate of the ship is not yet known, although an early message received in London reported that the Cymric was sinking. The crew
 aboard numbered about 100 men but
 the steamer carried no passengers.

WASHINGTON. May S.-Adminis tration officials are hopeful that ef fective cooperation between American and Mexican troops to exterrninate the bands of Mexican outlaws which raided Glenn Springs, Texas, last Fri day night will follow the conclusion of the conference at Fl Paso between Generals Scott and Obregon. In the meantime. though, at the war and state departments. it was stated of ficially that General Funston has full authority to send his troops across the border on any hot trail.
 Secretary Baker conferred with President Wilson this evening. but he said later there had been no develop mcnts in the situation. He declined to discuss what steps had been taken by General Funston or what recom

WASHINGTON, May Slope that at the end of the present war the na- tions of the world would undertake a joint effort to keep the peace, backed by a common police force. was eX- pressed by President Wilson today in Gn interview with a committee of the American union against mlitarism which called to protest against his preparedness program and advise him that they had found a fear of mili tarism in the country west of the Al. leghenies.
 The president told his callers that a helpless nation would be negligible in tions for peace. He said there was a difference between preparedness and militarism, that~the country was in no danger of the latter, and in response to q question, declared that compul- sory military training was not con trary to American tradition.
 The committee insisted that on ac- count of his office the president most frequently addressed audiences from the upper classes and that the re- sponse he received upon the proposal to increase the military were mislead- ing him to the true sentiment of the country.
 The committee was headed by Miss Lillian D. Wald, Rabbi Stephen $ Wise and Amos k. F. Pinchot. all oi New York City; A. A. Berle of Cam bridge, Mass, and John A. McSparran legislative chairman of the Nationa

Following is the text of the note cabled today by Secretary Lansing to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin with in- structions to deliver it to the German minister of foreign affairs: The note. of the imperial German government under date of May 1, 1916. has received careful consideration by the government of the United States. It is especially noted as indicating the purpose of the imperial German gov ernment to the future, that it is pre- pared to do it's utmost to confine the operation of the war for the rest of it's duration to the fighting forces of the belligerents' and that it is deter mined to impose upon all it's com manders at sea the limitations of the recognized rules of international law upon which the government of the United States has insisted.
 Throughout the months which have elapsed since the imperial govern ment announced on February 4. 1915, it's submarine policy. now happily abandoned, the government of the United States has been constantly Bulutu anu ItSlIdliltu by motives or friendship in it's patient efforts to bring to an amicable settlement the critical questions arising from that policy. Accepting the imperial gov ernment's declaration of it's abandon ment of the policy which has so seri- ously menaced the good relations be- tween the two countries, the govern ment of the United States will rely upon a scrupulous execution hence forth of the now altered policy of the imperial government such as will re- move the principal danger to an in- terruption of the good relations exist ing between the> United States and Germany.
 "The government of the United States feels 1t necessary to state thai it takes it for granted that the imperial German government does not intend to imply that the maintenance of its newly announced policy is in any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotiations betweer the government of the United State! and any other belligerent government notwithstanding the fact that certain passages in the imperial government note of the fourth instant might ap pear to be susceptible of that con struction.

 According to federal officials the new indictment against Wolf von Igel and Dr. Scheele was made possible by the papers seized in the former office of the recalled military attache von Pa pen. at the time of von Igers arrest. They alleged that papers found among von Igers effects show that the freight charged for the shipment of oil were paid by won Igel while acting secrtary to von Papen.

According to these messages San An tonic, Tex, is being used as headquar- ters for the movement and former prominent members or the convention government are directing it. The avowed intention of these men it is de- clared, is to cause serious difference between Mexico and the United States.
 The newspapers this morning print on their first pages a story of the re- cent border raids and characterized the participants in them as enemies of both nations. The hope is expressed editorially that the American people will see through the schemes and that public opinion will not condemn Mex ico worngly.

CHICAGO. Aug. A. Dividends
were declared on a smaller per-

than during any year since 1904 and
the average rate of dividend was the
lowest since 1905, says the Railway
Age Gazette, in Analysing the sta

Dividends were declared on 6O.45
per cent of the outstanding railway

was 3.S per cent. the paper says.
The highest average rate of dividend
-5.43 per cent, was declared in

MEASURE WILL
COME UP AGAIN
Senate Starts Work to Pre-
vent Trading of Child
Labor Products.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4-The sem
ate Thursday began consideration of
the bill to prevent interstate COM
merce in the products of child Ia
Dor. The measure was restored to
a place on the legislative program
for this season at the request Of
President Wilson after the demo-
cratic caucus once had decided to
let it go over until December.
southern democrats are the only OPP
ponents of the measure which will
be kept before the senate until it
is passed.
Sen. Robinson in presenting the
bill on behalf of the commerce
committee told his southern col
leagues there was a strong senti-
ment in favor of it in their states.
Answering contentious that the
proposed act would effect an I'M
constitutional transgression of the
rights of the states, the Arkansas
senator declared that under de-
cision of the supreme court the
power of congress to regulate COM
merce is complete and absolute ex-
cept as limited by the constitution
itself: that the only limitation is
the fifth amendment which pro-
vides that no person shall be de-
prived of life. liberty. or property
without due process of law; that the
fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution imposes the same limita-
ton on the states as that imposed
by the fifth amendment on the fed
eral government; and that if the
states in the exercise of the police
power can suppress evils of child
labor. congress through its power
to regulate commerce can promote
the same end by denying the chan
nels of commerce to persons and
enterprises in the interest of the
public health, morals and safety.
