hours conference between Presiden
Wilson and Secretary Lansing, 1t be
came known today that the German
announcement yesterday of deter

gravity and that the American govern

definite steps.
It was regarded as not impossible
that action of some kind had alread,
been taken but there was no indication

There also were indications that nj

This Afternoon.

The men who were engaged il

ineton this afternoon about one
o'clock and were brought to this city
on the steamboat Atlantic which was
recently purchased by the company
to be used on the new ferry line to be
established between Alexandria and
the steel plant at Giesboro Point.
The steamer landed the men at
the Cameron street wharf, where they
were met BY company of business
men and given a cordial welcome.
Shortly after they were escorted to
L.ipps restaurant on King street
where dinner was served them and
later on were directed to the various
homes and boarding places where
they will remain until they have time
TO make sucn permanent arrange
mcnts as they may find most desir-
able.
A hundred more are expected in
ten DAYS the Gazette is informed. Dur
ing the past few days Secretary
Preston of the Chamber of Commerce
has received applications from quite
number of men who came here
from other places and who were
quickly given employment at the
steel plant and elsewhere about the
city. Every effort is being made to
bring more here and it is hoped that
with the establishment of the new
federal employment agency here in
the city the required number will
soon be obtained.
