FRENCH LINER IN PORT
AFTER EXCITING TRIP
Espagne Went 14O Miles South After
Warning of Raider. and Delaying
Arrival Twelve Hours.

NEW YORK, October 10.-The
French liner Espagne came into port
today with an exciting story of her ex-
perience Sunday night and Monday,
when lifeboats were swung out and all
precautions taken for an encounter
with the German submarine raider.
First word reached the Espa gne Sum
day by wireless that the German raider
was at work in nearby waters. All pre-
cautions were Immediately taken, but
only the officers of the ship were aware
of the danger. though the precaution-
airy measures as soon gave the pas
sengers an inkling of the facts The
course of the Espagne was changed
sh1rply to the southwark. She had been
heading about due west expecting to
reach New York Monday, but the course
southwest heightened her voyage another
twelve to fifteen hours. All lifeboats
were swung clear from deck and
cleared for any emergency. Numbers in
the lifeboats had previously been as
signed to passengers while crossing the
war zone outside Bordeaux, and each
passenger had a ticket designating the
number of his lifeboat and the COM
mander.
upper deck astern was cleared for action.
All passengers and crew were perfectly
calm during the preparations. and there
was the usual gayety. though some of the
woman passengers kept their lifebelts
conveniently near them. Mme Sarah
Bernhardt. Lima Cavalieri and the other
distinguished artists aboard heard and
discussed the reports, but showed no
evidence of anxiety
Through Monday the Espagne zigzagged
in her course. She was so far 3outh---I40
miles from her usual course--that pas
sengers thought she might make Ches-
apeake bay. Monday night the ship
trembled as full speed was put on, and
the zigzag course was pursued. Many
remained on deck late at night. but no
hostile craft was seen. The ship finally
reached the three limit. within
which sanctuary she stayed for the rest
Of her voyage
AS the Espagne drew into harbor this
morning the passengers gathered In the

Mr.. LANSING TO BE HEARD

LONG BRANCH. y. J., October 10
President Wilson gave his entire atten-
tion today to considering facts collect
ed by the Navy Department regarding
German submarine attacks on mer-
chantmen off the American coast. He
had intended going to Brooklyn for the
third base ball game fof the world s
series, but changed his plans to devote
himself to the foreign affairs of the
nation. The President shut himself in
his study this morning and went care
fully over all the evidence collected so
far. While this evidence was not given
out there was every indication that the
President has received no information
necessitating drastic action by the
American government.
The President had on his program
today a conference with Secretary Lam
sing and Jules JuSserand, French am
bassador to the United States Mr..
Lansing will not come until late this
afternoon and will take dinner with
the President and remain at Shadow

tiles would be discussed.

HOLIDAY PLAN |NDORSED
BYATTORNEY GENERAL
I4zss.is ~, ~ :. 5 @s.1sxss.&sAs s-s
Head of Department of Justice Ap-
proves Saturday Half Day Priv
ilege Throughout Year.

Attorney General Gregory in letter
to President Wilson today supported
the proposal for a Saturday half holi-
day for federal government employees
the whole year round. This proposition
was first brought to the attention of
the President by Samuel Gompers. pres
ident Of the American Federation of
Labor. Mr.. Wilson asked all members
of the cabinet to write him their views
regarding the practicability of grants
ing the year round half holiday.
1t is known that most of the cabinet
officers are favorable TO the propoS
ton. although some Of them are out
of the city and have not, yet had a
chance to reply to President wilson's
letter sending the Gomper's proposal
to them for recommendation.
Favored by Bureau Chiefs.
Heads of bureaus and divisions
throughout the several departments are
unaualifiedly in favor of the all-year
half holiday. There now is a general
feeling that the President will issue
the necessary order closing the federal
Offices every Saturday afternoon in the
year.
I The preparation of the reports of the
Secretaries of State, War and Navy on
the subject has been delayed, because
other important business has occupied
their attention for some time past 1t
is fully expected, however. that their
reports will be submitted to the Presi-
dent within the next few days.
Secretary Lansing and Secretary
Baker have received reports from their
official assistants. generally favoring
the Saturday early closing movement,
and it is believed they will report ac-
cordingly.
Indorsenaent was also given today in
a letter to the President from John Z.
Densmore, acting secretary of the De-
partment of Labor.
Mr.. Densmore in his letter said:
in addition to being satisfied that
Saturday afternoon is a legal holiday
in the District of Columbia, as stated
by Acting Attorney General Mercy
nolds in his opinion, 1 am convinced
that the business of the government can
be AS expeditiously performed and with
increased efficiency. l have consulted
the heads of the var. various bureaus Of this
uepdTtilSHt dHo eASy 81 Oil heartily IN
favor af the Saturday half holiday all
the year around"
Secretary Daniels In Quandary.
1t is said that Secretary Daniels is
somewhat embarrassed in considering
the question as applied to the naval
establishment in this city by the fact
that the workmen at the navy yard
are per diem employees and can be paid
only for work actually performed.
One argument used in favor of adop-
tion of the Saturday half holiday is that
the employees of the various govern
ment departments. especially the State.
War and Navy departments, have per
formed much extra work since the be-
ginning OF the European war.
