WILSON'S STATEMENT
To THE COUNTRY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE)

the railroad officials went into con
ference again this morning in an en-
deayor to find way out that would
throw the burden Of blocking the
negotiations off of their shoulders.
Meanwhile, the representatives of
the brotherhoods were enjoying them
slyes seeing the sights of Washing
ton. They have accepted President
Wilson's proposition in its entirety.
and they now say they expect him to
see that the railroads do the same
thing. This the president has prom
ised to do, and it was said Officially
at the White House that he was in
no way discouraged over the apparent
deadlock with the railroad execu-
tives.
Confident of Adjustment
Although on the surface, the danger
CT a general strike seemed very much
greater today than at any time since
the negotiations reached critical
stage, the men closest to the presi
dent, who reflects his views were au-
premely confident thai there would be
no strike. They declared that the
great financial interests Of the coun-
try would not back the railroad heads
to the point of strike that would
utterly upset business, and that the
basis OF settlement eventually will
be that proposed by President Viii
son,
If the railway men now here de
cline to make any concessions what
ever, the president will go ahead
with his announced plan to call on
the financial chiefs OF the country TO

WHITE STAR LINER SINKING
Carried No Passengers. But Has Crew,
 of One Hundred

London, May S.-The 13,0OO-ton White Star liner Cymric, which has been engaged in freight service, has been torpedoed by the German subma- rine, according to advices received here. One report says that the Gym ric was attacked in the Atlantic and the information of the White Star Company at Liverpool is that the steamer was torpedoed about noon to- day.
 The Cymric left New York April 29 With an enormous cargo of war muni- tions AS she usually makes the voy- age from New York to Liverpool in 10 days, she was therefore within a day or two of her destination. It is considered probable that the disaster to the Cymric occurred off the west coast of Ireland but whether on the northerly or southerly route cannot be stated.
 The fate of the steamship is not yet known, although an early message re- ceived in London reported that the Cylnric was sinking The crew mum bered about 100 men, but the steamer carried no passengers.
