Chicago.

the meeting arrived after it had ad-

The clash in authority between
Mayor Thompson and Governor Low

The delegates gathered shortly at
ter noon at the West Side auditorium
in the heart of cosmopolitan quar-

and outside the building to suppress
any disorder. Nearby streets were
utterly deserted as the delegates took
their places and were called to order

list candidate for governor of Illinois.
as temporary chairman.
In the meantime Governor Lowden
had been notified of the defiance Of
his orders and Immediately called Ad-
jutant General Dickson of ., Illinois
into conference. 1t was found that as
most of the Illinois national guards
men had been federalized the governor
had no troops at his disposal in the
Chicago district. An effort was made
to reach Major General Carter, COM
mander of the central department., to
obtain his permission to use federal
troops, but he could not be found in

as a defensive measure, it has now
developed that conveying is at the
same time the best offensive measure
yet devised against the U-boat.
Destroyer Is There.
The offensive Of conveying may be
shown by an illustration. When a
submarine tries to torpedo a con
yoyed ship, as submarines are now
compelled TO do. owing to the infre-
quency of unconvoyed shipping, there
is always a destroyer on the scene
and the chances OF ner getting" that
particular submarine are correspond
ingly increased. The wake OF a tor
pedo is generally seen by the destroy
ers' lookout and it gives a good line
of the direction the submarine is lay
ing. The destroyer Immediately
steers a course full speed in the line
shown by the torped0's wake and
drops repeated depeh bombs along its
course In a considerable proportion
Of cases this proves effective. for
these depth charges cause serious
commotion over a considerable radius.
Loss Not Always Seen.
The Associated Press correspondent
was told OF three cases during the
last fortnight in which submarines
were thus destroyed. In many in
stances, no doubt, submarines are de-
stroyed without any visible indication
above water of their losses, and 9TH

ably by the newspapers in their edi-

the milk strike which began yester-
day would be settled at a price in the

fixed a price at about that figure
There was a famine in milk in this
city, rejecting the refusal OF farmers
TO deliver to collecting stations in the

further curtailed tomorrow even
should a settlement be reached by to-
night
