Suggests Federal Ownership.

Miss Pauline Goldmark. representing
the Consumers League. told the COM
mittee that in her opinion government
ownership would be the easiest way
out of the present difficulty. She sug-
gested that government ownership
would dispense with the individual
contracts the company now has with
its employees and would leave the way
open for the return of the old en-
ployes to work.
She stated that the Consumers League
was preparing q bill designed to avoid
strikes on public utilities in the future
largely through publicity.
Miss Goldmark was pressed by Senator
Jones to give her view as to whether the
men should still be allowed to strike if
there was government ownership.
She replied that she thought the reason
for strikes would be obviated and finally
admitted that she would favor prohibition
Of strikes.
The committee adjourned until o'clock
tonight. Every effort is being made by
the committee to bring the hearing to an
early end, it having now extended over a

TWO HUNDRED AMERICANS
KILLED BY SUBMARINES
Heavy Toll Taken by German Divers
in Two Years-Most of Them on
Unarmed Merchant Vessels.

Washington.-Two hundred Ameri-
cans, at luast, probably more, have
gone to their deaths through German
and Austrian submarine operations.
Most of the Americans lost were
travelling in unarmed merchant ships
and. under the practices of inter
national law and humanity, believed
themselves safe. More than 1000 cit
liens of other nationalities lost their
lives in the same attacks, but they
compose only a part of the toll OF
life taken by submarine warfare. The
ships lost, on which the Americans
met death. are only a fraction of the
number sent to the bottom by torpe-
does, most of them without warning.
The cases which involve the Uni
ted States and Germany are primarily
those in which American life was
lost or endangered.

Drift From Country to City.

Some further statistics as to the
drift of population In this country
from the country to the city were
presented in a recent census bureau
report. Figures show that this drift
has now covered a period of a CEN
fury and a quarter, or from 1870 to
the present time, 1870, being the year
in which the first census of popula-
ton was taken. Since that time the
drift has been practically uninterrupt-
ed. In 1890 cities were extremely
rare in this country. Only one had
population of more than 10000. This
was New York city, which had at that
time 33,131 inhabitants. Next came
Philadelphia, with 2S,500, and then.
Boston, with 1890. In the entire
country there were only 1929, 214 peo-

If AMERICAN LIFE
TAKEN, THEN WAR
GERMANY AND AUSTRIA TOLD
A FEW THINGS BY PRESI-
DENT WILSON.
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS OFF
Give Bernstorff His Passport to
Leave-Spain Handles Our
End, Switzerland Theirs.

Washington.-Pres Wilson has
broken off diplomatic relations with
Germany and warned the kaiser that
ruthless sacrifice of American lives
and rights means war.
Similar action is waiting for Aus
tria when she notifies this govern
ment that she joins in the campaign
of unrestricted submarine warfare.
The president made formal an
nouncement of his action to the coun-
try and to the world Saturday at a
joint session of congress.
Passports have been handed to
Count Won Bernstorff; Ambassador
Gerard with all his staff and all
American consuls have been ordered
out of Germany. All German consuls
in the United States are expected to
withdraw that the severance of re-
lations may be complete.
American diplomatic interests in
Berlin have been turned over to
Spain; German diplomatic interests
in the United States have been taken
over by Switzerland. Foreign diplo-
matte interests which the United
States had in charge in Germany
have been turned over to various
neutrals.
War Has Always Followed.
Two years of diplomatic negotia
tions marked with frequent crises
and attended with the loss of more
than 200 American lives on the high
seas have eliminated with an acI
which in all the history of all the
world has always led to war. Every
agency of the American government
has been set in motion to protect
the country against acts of German
sympathizers. These moves are o
necessity being kept secret.
With the notice Of the severance
of diplomatic relations the United
States sent to Berlin for the imme
date release of GA Americans taker
from ships captured by German raid
ers in the south Atlantic.
Congress to Rush Laws.

gress, Immediately after hearing hi
address, began work on new law
framed by the department of justice
to check conspiracies and plot
against the United States which cal
not now be reached under existing

Washington-There was an unus-

the presidents address to congress
Saturday. Practically all the South
Americas were represented and many
other neutrals.
The gravity of the occasion was
further pictured by the presence of
the justices of the supreme court
and members of the cabinet upon the
floor.
AS usual a committee, representing
both houses, escorted the president
to the speakers dais, during which
the assemblage arose. Then the
throng burst into cheering and hand
clapping as the president, his face
set and without the suggestion of a
smile, bowed and began reading his
address very slowly.
Silence in Room.
There was tense silence in the great
room as he proceeded, outlining, first
the negotiations with Germany, her
pledges to the United States after
the destruction of the passenger
steamer Sussex and the new naval
order of Germany declaring for UNI
restricted submarine warfare after
February /.

WHEN MOTHER GETS ALARMED
There Really 10 No Cause for Worry
Because Young Son Does Things
That Seem UncivIized.

There comes a time when nearly
every mother suddenly becomes great
ly alarmed over her young son. One
day he is quiet, wefl-behaved, manner
~ and, apparently, quite civilized. And
all at once-the first thing she knows,
he is climbing rickety old trees to
their very tops or he is walking miles,
If need be, to find a woods where he
may play INDIAN" or highwayman, or
pirates, with other boys who have
spontaneously become as barbarous at
heart as their cave-dwelling ancestors.
SO he comes home covered with
mud, leaving great wads of 1t upon
the stairs, and with streaks of it be-
hind his ears. His shoes are likely to
be soaked through and through, so
that his mother forces him to take ILL
tasting gargles and medicines, poor
chapl And his manners have depart
ed. He no longer talks, he shouts.
Perched on the fence he carries on
personal conversation with a boy a
block away. He tears his clothes with
appalling frequency, and does not seem
Harmed about it. He gets into fights.
and comes home with a black eye,
and instead of feeling ashamed he pro-
claims from the housetops how he did
up the other fellow.
And even when he is asleep, and his
mother steals in for last look-such
as all mothers take-like as not she
Will see his lips moving, as he lies
with hand under a tangled head, for
although the scampering feet are still
and the sturdy fists are unclenched
and, except for the deep and regular
breathing the little boy is at rest, in
his mind he is still running races, kill
ing Indians, or pirating on the high
seas. After lightly touching one round,
red, freckled cheek, the mother steals
away wondering. Admitting, let us adj
nit, yet wondering. For she cannot
understand; at least not at first.

viii Bring Americans Home.

INSTRUMENTATION in Ger
many and Germans in America will
be granted absolute freedom to de-
part, and every effort will be made
to remove all Americans possible
from that country. While unofficial
reports indicate there are 1000 Amer
leans in Germany. the latest figures
at the state department show perhaps
1000 less. OF these the great major
ity are German-Americans who would
prefer to remain in Germany in any
case. In Austria it is estimated there
are not over 200 native Americans
though there are several thousand
naturalized Americans.
