DEUTSCHLAND ZONE CLEARED
Four U. S. Destroyers Sent to Pa
troll Coast Against Violations
by British Cruisers.

Baltimore, Md.-That the neutrality
of the United States and the three
mile limit must be observed is the
decision of the state department,
which, through the navy department,
dispatched four torpedo boat Destroy
ers to patrol the coast in the vicin-
ity of the Virginia Capes. This re-
suited from information being COM
municated to Washington that vessels
believed to be allied cruisers are main
tanning a close watch off the Capes,
for the submarine Deutschland, which,
within short time, will start on it's
return voyage to Germany.
Fast patrol boats, armed with small
rifles of sufficient caliber to penetrate
the thin hull of the Deutschland, are
reported to be in readiness off the
Capes to give chase to the under sea
merchantmen. These belong to the
British government.

In Reply Asks That ProgressiVes Of
All Parties Come Under Demo-
cratic Tent.

Washington, D. C.-In reply to
a letter from ]. G. Parker, a Phila-
delphia magazine editor, asking If he
would accept the leadership of pro-
gressives of all parties, President Will
son wrote Parker that he had no jeal-
ousy of independent political organ
izations but believed that the Demo
cratic party represented larger part
Of the progressive power and thought
of the country than any other party.
The letter follows in part:
81 have read your letter of July 10
with a great deal of attention and
very serious interest and realize as
keenly as you do the anomalous condi-
ton by which many of the progressive
voters of the country are being con-
fused and misled, as we'll as the old,
inveterate attractions which seem to
control the choice OF many of them
in matters political. In answer to the
questions contained in your letter,
will say that, for my part, l have no
jealousy whatever of independent or
CARNATIONS, intended to keep the in.
dependent voters of the country re-
minded of their obligations and fully
informed as to parties and of the con-
ditions under which their votes are
being solicited.
For myself, l sincerely desire and
have tried to deserve the support Of
all progressive, forward looking men.
l believe and I think that recent ex-
perience has confirmed the belief that
the Democratic party represents a
larger part of the progressive power
and thought of the country than any
other party, and that it can be made
the instrument and is being made the
instrument of leadership in the d.
rection which all men who love just
ice and progress must wish to take.
ut is for that reason that I am
proud to be its nominee and to have
the opportunity to lead it."

RAILROAD STRIKE
HARDLY PROBABLE
LABOR COMMISSIONER DECLARES
U. S. WOULD SEIZE ALL LINES
If MEN QUIT.
COMPROMISES MUST BE MADE
Nation is Better Prepared to Take
over Property Than Ever Before
Men Would Be Forced to
Return to Work at once.

St. Louis-Immediate seizure OF
every railroad in the United States
by the federal government, with gov
eminent ownership as a certain re-
suit, was predicted by j. ]. Keegan,
commissioner Of the United States de-
partment of labor should the threat
ened strike of the four great railroad
brotherhoods become a reality.
Keegan would not say that plans al
ready had been formulated for such
governmental action, but did declare
that, according to his information and
belief, the step would be inevitable.
Expects Big Majority for Strike.
Keegan declared the federal gov
eminent was better prepared than
ever before to assume the rsponsibil-
ity of ownership.
From the best information I have"
declared the labor department COM
missioner, II am confident that the
great rank and file of the four broth
erhoods will vote for strike. l am
led to believe that more than SO per
cent of the members of the four great
organizations will vote for a walk
out
Thinks Compromise Will Be Made.
81 do not believe, however, that
strike is probable.
But if the break should come and
100000 train men were called out,
paralyzing the transportation facili-
tees Of the country and even threat
ening American people with starva-
ton, the federal government would
act, and act within twenty-four hours.
1t could do nothing else. Every rail
road in the country would be seized
and once these roads pass into the
control of the United States they
would never again be returned to pri.
vate ownership"
The commissioner was asked how
the government would find it possible
to operate the roads, once the nearly
half million employees had gone on
strike.
THE would go to work the next
morning II the government assumed
CONTROL" replied the commissioner.
"The men know that they would be
treated honestly and fairly by the
| United States. Such seizure would at
once remove the bone Of contention
which is responsible for the present
! threatened strike-the eight-hour day.
The United States government long
ago recognized othe eight-hour day
movement"
