NEW YORK CONTINUES
TO SWELTER IN HEAT

New York, Aug. New York
continued TO swelter today in the hot
wave which has held the city in its
grip for the last two days. There
was no relief in sight according to
early reports, while those who we're
forced to go to work sought surface
and elevated lines in preference to
subways. Countless thousands spent
the night in the parks or at the
beaches.
Late reports from various sections
of the greater city placed yesterdays
heat victims at ii and 1888 prostra-
tions.

REPORT OF ATTACK BY
SUBS. ON AMERICANS

Washington, Aug. "Details of
the attack by German submarines
upon the first expedition of American
troops sent to France became known
for the first time when the report of
Rear Admiral Gleaves was made pub
hc by Secretary Daniels. The first
attack was made on the flagship. At
least two submarines were indicated
to be engaged.
The second group of transports was
Also attasked by two submarines, one
of which was apparently sent to the
bottom by a bomb from a destroyer
Secretary Daniels sent an uncensor-
ed copy of the report in confidence
to the senate navay committee mem
bers, which recently inquired as to
truth of charges that accounts pub
lished were greatly exaggerated.
Shortly before the attack the helm
of the flagship was jammed. The
ship took a sheer to starboard. At
the time officers of the deck and
others saw the wake of a submarine

later a periscope sighted. A depth

MOB LYNCHES
.|.W.W. LEADER
MEMBER OF EXECUTIVE COM
MITTEE WHO MADE HIMSELF
OBJECTIONABLE, IS STRUNG
UP BY MOB.
"a AssocIATED PREss

Butte, Mont, Aug. IF. Little,
member of the executive board of the
Industrial Workers of the World, and
a leader in labor troubles in Arizona,
was taken from a lodging house early
today by masked men and hanged to
q railroad trestle on the outskirts of
the city. ~Rdsa
The body was cut down at a. m.
by Chief of Police Jerry Murphy, who
identified it. Little in a recent speech
here referred to United States troops
as Uncle Sans scabs in uniform"
Since his arrival in Butte recently
from Globe, Ariz.. Little had made a
number of speeches to strikers in ali
of which he had attacked the govern
ment and urged the men to shut down
the mines of the Butte district. His
record was under investigation by the
federal authorities, whose attention
had been called to his activities.
Little took a leading part in recent
labor troubles in Arizona. He wrote
to Governor Campbell, of Arizona,
from Salt Lake City, protesting
against the deportation of 7. W. w.
members from Bisbee. Governor
Campbell replied, telling Little he re-
sented his interference and his
threats. Little was understood to have
the confidence of William D. Hay
wood, secretary of the l. W. ". ma
tional organization and was regarded
here as one of Haywood's confidential
agents.
Little was a cripple, but active and
a forceful speaker.
On his body was a card bearing the
words, First and last warning. 9th
ers take notice Vigilantes."
Little was taken out of the building
in which he lodged by a party of
masked men who took him awSy in
an automobile. He was not given
time to dress. The building is near
the Finn hall, which is headquarters
for the new metal mine workers
union, which recently called a strike
of miners and which was frequently
addressed by Little.

Live Movement on Foot to
Entertain for the De
parting Soldiers.
ONLY TENTATIVE
PLANS ARE MADE
Committee May Call Today
on Public for Their
Cooperation.

a movement looking to the enter
talnment Of the boys of the local mill
tary company has been suggested by
c. Fred Schad and number of
friends of the company, and unless
Mr.. Schad leaves the city for a week
or more on vacation today, he will
endeavOr to interest the public in
providing some sort of a send-off for
the local soldiers.
Several friends have been talking
of this movement during the past few
days, but the uncertainty as to dase
of departure has been the cause of
holding up any decisive steps. As t
is very generally believed that the
local company will be ordered to en-
train on Monday or the next day, the
movement yesterday began to take on
concrete snaps, and today committees
may circulate among the citizens for
support in the undertaking.
A tentative program suggested is
that of giving a band concert several
hours previous to the departure of
the train, and furnishing refresh
ments for the young soldiers. In the
latter part of the program everyone
may help, and relatives and friends
of the young troops may serve these
refreshments, and thus spend the last
few hours in the city with the young
men.
A more definite program will prob
ably be mapped out today, when sew
eral self-constituteI committeeman
get together. and work out some
agreed-on plan. As the troops are
ordered to the armory on Sunday Of
this week for actual service, with the
probability of being ordered to entrain
the followir.s; day, little time remains
to provide thc entertainment, and the
committee expects TIE cooperation of
the public should they decide to ar
range a special program for enter
tanning the boys before their depar-
ture.

Conveniently Deaf
To The Tests Of The
Enlisting Officer

Evidently his hearing depended
on what was said, or rather, that
after hearing, he then decided
whether or not he had heard it,
which in either case is a para
dox.
He said he wanted to enlist in
the army, and maybe he did, but
when the ear test was made, the
recruiting officer stood across the
room and said in a moderate tone
of voice: '99."
Whereupon, it is customary for
the examinee to repeat the sound,
if he heard it. This one did not
repeat. In a slightly louder tone,
almost of regular speaking vol
ume, the officer said, "88." and
still the would-not- be rookie re-
mained deaf and dumb.
Fearing that the applicant was
suffering from cold feet rather
than deafness, and was blaming
it on his ears, the officer said in
the tiniest whisper: whats the
matter, can't you hear me?"
And the applicant Immediately
responded: No."

pronounced the proposed amendment
as radical" and Revolutionary" and
declared that the question was one
which should be primarily of state
concern"
Senator Kenyon. of Iowa, support
in%r. the resolution, said:
why do we prohibit the boys in
the army and navy from having
booze and insist that those who re-
main at home shall have it? When
they are willing to die for US. should
we not be willing to go dry for
them?
"Are We willing to sacrifice every
except beer? Why waste labor

beer?"
Senators Myers and Cummins, both
spoke in support of the resolution.
Senator Curtis said he favored the
Harding amendment to limit the
time in which the amendment could
be submitted to the states to six
