HEAR NOTHING
OF SUBMARINE
Berlin Source Diseloses Fact That
Deutschland Has Not Been
Communicated With.

BERLIN, Aug. 16-The German
submarine Deutschland has not been
heard from since she cleared the Vir-
GINA Capes on the night of August
two. the United Press learned from
reliable marine sources today.
[Sixteen days were required for the
Deutschland to cross the Atlantic on
her trip to Baltimore. Part Of that
time she spent in lodging hostile
warships. Actually she could have
made the voyage in much shorter
time. The fact that fourteen days
have elapsed and she has not been
heard from indicates that she has
been compelled to take a roundabout
course on the return also to avoid
British and French warships, il she
has not met with mishap. The
Deutschland is equipped with high
power wireless apparatus. but prob
ably would not communicate with q
German station while in British
waters. fearing detection and pursuit

Must Dispose Of Issues.
TBy Robert ]. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Suc-
cess or failure in reaching a COM
mon ground for settling the threat
ened general railroad strike hinged
today on the disposal OF other issues,
growing out of the eight hour day
principle.
Hope of arbitration has gone, The
president is understood to have
definitely discarded this as means
of accomplishing peace.
But there was strong hope that
with the railways conceding the basic
principle of the shorter working
day, some way would be found to
satisfactorily dispose Of the question
of the collateral issues including
over time pay.
An indication that the general sit
uation is such as to give cause for
some uneasiness is found In the fact
that the president deems It advisable
to appeal directly to the six hundred
members of the employees general
