MEN TURN DOWN PREMIER
Canadian Pacific Employees Refuse to
Delay Strike, Scheduled for 5
p. M. Wednesday.

Winnipeg, Man, Oct. 25.--Using an
appeal to patriotism, Premier Borden
at Ottawa issued an address to the
Canadian Pacific train men to delay
their general coast-to-coast strike,
scheduled for p. m. Wednesday. The
men replied that delay now is i'm
possible, pointing to the roads bOunti-
full earnings on account of the war.
Later the cabinet issued a public
appeal to both sides to reach settle
ment.
This appeal, asserting that the gov
eminent regards the situation las a
matter of grave concern" and recogniz-
ing that the rights of the train men
and the road are entitled to "every
consideration" declares that the rights
of the public also must be taken into
account. The appeal concludes:
1.-The government cannot forget its
duty as guardians of those rights. This
duty is especially imperative in time of
war. Before taking any active step
to prevent public disaster, the govern
ment appeals once more to the COM
pany and the employees that such set
Element will be made that will prevent
the threatened strike"

SAYS U-53 WAS DESTROYED
British Sea Captain Says German SUBJ

by Patrol Boat.

Boston, Oct. 25.-The U-5S, the SEN
sational German submarine raider,
which sank five merchant vessels off
Nantucket lightship on October s, has
been sunk by the British patrol boat
Stanley, according to an unofficial re-
port in Canada, brought here by Capt.
w. G. Tudor of the British freighter
Hochelaga. The U-53 is supposed to
have been trapped and destroyed while
lying off Sydney, N. s., waiting for
troop ships. Captain Tudor, who ar
rived here with cargo of coal from
Louisburg, Capt Breton, said:
Just before l left Louisburg, l was
told that need not worry about Ger
man submarines. The German is sup
posed to have been sunk three or four
days after the raid off the Nantucket
lightship. According to the story
heard, the U-53 was waiting to get a
shot ut some troop ships when the
Stanley stumbled across her, damaged
her turret so she could not submerge
ana then sank her / don't know what
happened to her crew."

WOMAN HAD TRUE CHARITY
Refusal to Judge Others Harshly
Proves Possession of the Highest
Christian Character.

There died a short time ago a wom-
an who never occupied, or aspired to
occupy, a conspicuous position in the
world but who was beloved by all who
knew her. The secret of her charm
lay in her charity-not the charity Of
almsgiving, although she was always
openhanded to those in need-but the
broader charity that consists in leni-
ency toward the frailties of Others.
When gossip, even gossip not unduly
harsh, assailed man or woman she in
variably met it with the one response:
well, now, maybe if you knew all
about the case you'd find the poor man
(or woman) wasn't so much to blame
after ALL"
What an insight into a Christian
character that remark conveys And
what a lesson in Christian charity it
teaches. 1t is the Ten Commandments
in a single sentence. Philosopher or
theologian never uttered a more beau
tiful thought for mankind to ponder
over. Epigram maker never directed
more perfect shaft.
What different world it would be
if everyone judged the worlds people
that way.-Youngstown Telegram.

CRISIS WITH NORWAY
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH
GERMANY IN DANGER.
Amsterdam Says Continuance OF
Friendly Relations Depends on
Reply to Note.

Amsterdam, Oct. 25.-A crisis has
arisen between Germany and Norway
the climax of which, it is feared in
some quarters in Germany, may be a
diplomatic break between the two
countries. At the same time there are
symptoms of a gradual tendency on
the part of Sweden toward the entente
allies, symptoms which in pro-ally cir
cles here are interpreted as foreshad-
owing substantial agreements, and pos
sibly an alliance.
The continuance of friendly rela-
tions" between Germany and Norway
depends upon the latter governments
answer to Berlin's note demanding re-
cessiOn from the stand taken regarding
the treatment of German submarines
in open Norwegian waters. The orig
inal Norwegian note on this subject
was resented by the German foreign
office as "unfriendly" in tone and in
tent and the German government in
turn sent a sharp demand to Chris
tiania demanding a backdown.
The attitude of Sweden and Den
mark on the same question is favor
able to Germany and on this score
there is no possibility of estrangement
Berlin, however, is watching with
marked attention the strenuous efforts
now being conducted by the entente
powers to enlist the Scandinavian coun-
tries on their side and bring about their
active cooperation in the war. Adj
vices from Berlin today pointed ont
that the restrictions placed by England
upon the export trade to Sweden are
working great hardships on that coun-
try. Sweden is dependent upon Eng
land for her coal.
In Denmark popular sentiment is
largely pro-ally. The further course OF
that governments action will be de-
cided, students of international rela-
lions agree, by Sweden's actions.
Added anxiety was caused in Berlin,
according towdispatches from the Ger
man capital, by the news of the agree
ment reached between Sweden and
Russia for the release of vessels de-
tanned in Russian ports. Similar nego-
tiations are reported under way be-
tween Sweden and England.

AVIATOR is DROWNED
ALEXANDER BROWN PLUNGES
INTO RIVER WITH AERoPLANE.
Noted Polo Star and Big Game Hunt
er of Philadelphia Was on Last
Trip for License.

Philadelphia, Oct. 25.-Alexander
Brown, the widely known polo player
of this city. fell in his shydroaeroplane
into the Delaware river at Essington,
below this city, and was drowned.
He was about 100 feet up when
watchers noticed that something was
wrong, and a moment later the ma
chine dropped into the river.
Brown, with other wealthy Philadel-
phians, had beer making frequent
flights at Essilgton. He was in the
air Monday night, and yesterdays
fight was to have been his last in a
test for a license. He was a pupil of
the Philadelphia School of Aviation at
Essington.
Weather conditions were ideal for
his flight anG confidence had been eX-
pressed that Brown would have no
trouble in winding his license. because
in flying he handled his machine like
an expert. He was we'll down the
river and had been in the air about ten
minutes when the hydroaeroplane was
seen to careen as if the pilot had lost
control. Before the planes could be
adjusted the machine fell into the wa
ter near the New Jersey shore.
Attaches of the aviation school
rushed in a speedy motorboat to the
spot where Brown fell, but only the
tips of the wings of the machine We're
visible. The machine was raised and
Brown was found wedged tightly be-
tween stanchions. Efforts at resusci-
tation failed.
Brown not only had an international
reputation as polo player, but was
known as a big game hunter He was
prominent in social circles of this city,
New York and Newport.
Last May, Brown announced his deci-
sion to dispose of his string of polo
ponies and devote himself to aviation.
He attended the Plattsburg camp last
fall and became keenly interested i.
the plans of a group of society men and
sportsmen who fitted up the aviation
school in connection with the move.

CHARGE CARRANzA
READY TO FLEE
Political Foes Say "First Chief"
Prepares for Flight.
SENDS WIFE TO THE U. S.
Leaders Spouse Has Already Crossed
the Border With Mrs. Obregon,
Wife of War Minister-Plan
Tour of Country.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Charges that
General Carranza is preparing to leave
Mexico are being freely made by his
political opponents in Mexico City.
They are based upon his decision to
leave his capital for Queretaro and
the fact that Mrs. Carranza already
has crossed the border into the United
States, accompanied by the wife of
her husbands war minister and chief
supporter, General Obregon.
Information to this effect is reach
ing officials here from various relia-
bic sources. SO far nothing tangible
tending to support the story has come
through official channels.
Trip Taken as Weakness.
1t is known, however, that many of
ficials here believe General Carranza
has committed a political blunder at
least, if he is not in fact preparing
for flight, by permitting his family
to leave Mexico just at this time. The
trip, they say, was certain to be con-
strued by his followers as a confess
sion of weakness.
The purpose of the visit of Mrs.
Carranza and Mrs. Obregon, as ex-
planned at the Mexican embassy, is
for tour of the. United States.
Word of the arrival at the border
also of Mrs. Jacinto Trevino, wife of
the military commander of Chihuahua
state, was received.
Going to Convention.
The state department had not re-
ceived word that Generals Carranza
and Obregon had left Mexico City for
Queretaro. Previous advices, however,
said that the first chief would go to
that place in connection with the meet
ing of the constitutional convention for
which delegates were elected last
week. This is the only explanation
obtainable here for Carranza's depar-
ture from his capital.
