POLAND RELIEF
GIVEN SETBACK

Washington, July 28.--Informal as
posed TO respond favorably to Presi-
dent Wilson's personal appeal for per-
mission for shipment of American re-
lief supplies in territory held by Aus
trian forces have been given person
ally by Foreign Minister Burian to Am
bassador Penfield.
The state department also received
today from Ambassador Page, the Brit
ish foreign Offices statement of Great
Britains willingness to permit impor-
tation of foodstuffs into Poland TO be
administered by commission ap-
pointed by President Wilson, provided
the German and Austrian occupying
armies would not seize or remove pro-
ducts OF the occupied territory The
condition, it is feared may block ne
gotiations.
Mr.. Penfield reported today that he
delivered personally TO Count Won
Burian on July 26 President Wilson's
plea in behalf Of famine stricken Poles
and that the foreign minister promised
TO deliver the presidents communica-
ton Immediately TO Emperor Francis
Joseph. The minister's unofficial opin-
ion was that the request would be met
by Austria and Germany
Ambassador Penfield was told by the
foreign minister that Austria was ad-
ministering affairs in one-third OF Rus
sian Poland and that famine conditions
there have been greatly ameliorated in
recent months by good crops and man
agement
State department officials regard the
reception of the presidents letter at
the Austrian foreign Office as a hope
full sign Of concessions which will
eventually permit American relief
measures for. the starYing. Poles.

Portland, Maine, July 2S.-A tele-
gram saying the German underwater

tured and was being towed into Hall.

Tied Up mt Halifax.
New York. July 2S.-Another cir
cumstantial report regarding the
whereabouts of the German merchant
supersubmarine Bremen, long expect
ed at some American port, is that the
ship has been captured by British pa
trolling squadrons and is today tied
up in the northwest arm in the harbor
of Halifax, n. S.
The report OF the capture, which is
published here today, is given in a let
ter said TO have been written by the
secretary of a high Canadian official to
business man of this city The let
ter is declared to have been mailed
from Buffalo, N. Y, two days ago and
therefore could not have been subject
ed to the scrutiny of the Canadian cen
:or.
The letter was written in confidence.
it is stated, but the information it CON
tanned was divulged by the recipient
to a friend in the course of an argu-
ment as to whether or not the Bremen
could pass through the British barrier.
No Cause for Worry.
The letter says:
''You seem in New York to be wor-
ried about the Bremen. There is real
ly no cause for worry, for at the pres
ent time she is tied up in what we call
the northwest arm in the harbor OF
Halifax and is being well taken care
of"
New York, July 28.-Telegrams or
inquiry sent to ottawa and Halifax
have not as yet brought any confirma-
ton of the reported capture.
The Bremen, the second unit OF Ger
many's proposed merchant submarine
fleet. has been due for some days in
an American port. Private informa-
tion was that she had been ordered 10
make New York harbor, but If this
was not feasible, she was TO go to any
other American port.

FREIGHT RATE ON
COAL GOES UP 5

Washington, July 28.-Increases OF
five cents per net ton in freight rates
on bitumiDous coal in carloads from
Illinois and Indiana mines to points in
those states and Wisconsin and Mich
igan were found justified today by the
interstate commerce commission. 1t is
estimated the increases will add about
$500, 900 yearly to the revenues of the
carriers. The railroads contended that
under the old rates bituminous coal
did not bear its proper proportion OF
operation cost nor yield a fair return
on the railroad investment.

Refuse to Go to Work On Account OF
Intense Heat-Mercury Goes to

OTHERS EXPECTED TO PROTEST.
Deaths Increasing and No Relief in
Sight-ChicagO Has so Degrees
at Midnight Hour.

Chicago, July 28.-Workmen in the
rolling mills OF the Republic Iron and
Steel company in East Chicago and the
Interstate Iron and Steel company in
South Chicago. refused to go to work
because of the intense heat today, and
as a result both mills were closed I'M
til the hot weather is over The men
participating in the protest numbered
2,199. It is expected that employees of
other mills will also protest. Tenn
peratures taken in the rolling mills a
few days ago ranged from 140 to 100
degrees.
Measure of Relief.
F'itfuI breezes from Chicago gave
Chicago and other lake cities meas
ure of relief today, the temperature at
noon being 95, a few degrees under
Yesterdays mark at that hour. How
ever, the winds are variable, and II
was explained at the government
weather bureau that the shifting of the
wind to the plains would cause quick
rise to 100 degrees or more. The lake
water is becoming heated and the lake
winds do not afford the relief they did
few days ago.
Deaths from the heat are increasing
in number, 25 being reported t. the po-
lice this morning. The number of heat
prOstrations also is increasing rapidly
and hospital authorities declare that
the recovery of patients is retarded
and often prevented by the intense
heat.
The weather fOTecaster still looked
in vain to the northwest for signs of
relief and declared that every indica-
ton pointed to a continuance Of the
present weather conditions

Baltimore, Md, July est was
learned from a source regarded as re-
liable that the German submarine
Deutschland would not sail until Off
cial information had been received
from her sister ship, the Bremen, by
her agents here. This seems borne out
by the statement of Captain Koenig
last Wednesday that circumstances
and conditions over which he had no
control were delaying his departure.
The Deutschland is all ready to sail
on short notice.
1t was said the Deutschland would
make no secret attempt to get away
but probably would leave her pier
during the day in order to arrive at the
capes under the cover of darkness.
