that the human voice could be trans

out his discovery over distances up to

that it is astonishing tnat scientists
have not discovered it long ago.
The equipment consists Of an ordi.

The advance was made northwest Of

SAYS GOVERNMENT
WILL TAKE RAILROADS
Department Of Labor Official
Says This Will Happen If
Great Strike Comes

st. Louis, Mr., July 17.-Deeiaring
that the United States government
was better prepared now than ever to
operate the railroads OF the country,
j. j. Keegan, of the department of Ia.
bor, predicted today that the govern
ment would take over the roads should
the four great railroad brotherhoods
call u strike of tneir men.
Keegan said that once the govern
ment took charge of the roads the men
would go to work Immediately. He
based this assertion on the fact the
government had long since recognized
the eight hour day, one OF the bones of
contention in the present controversy
between men and employers
Keegan, who is in st. Louis as me-
diator between the Missouri Pacific
and its trackmen, who threaten to
strike, would not say plans had been
formulated to Take over the roads.
However he said that, according to his
information, this step cannot be a.
voided if the men leave their posts.
He said he was practically certain
that the four brotherhoods would vote
to strike.
"But | cannot conceive that either
the railroads or the brotherhoods will
let break occur" he said. GA com.
promise seems more probable. Howev-
er should the break occur and nearly
a half million men leave their work,
paralyzing transportation and threat
ening starvation of the nation, the
government would act in executive
hours. l could do nothing else. Every
railroad in the country would be seiz
ed and once these roads pass into the
control of the United States they
would never again be returned to pri-
yate ownership -

Baltimore, Nd, July 1.-THE Ger
man submarine freighter Deutschland
now plans to slip down the Patausco
river and into Chespakeawe bay tomor-

a member of the crew told the United

permitted to board the vessel after to-
morrow.
Captain Hinsch told the United Press
he expected the Bremen in few days
and that she will come here or to New
York, though he indicated Baltimore
will be the port.
Fear of spies and bombs seemed to
bear strongly upon the crew and man
