RAILROADS LEAVE
 ALL TO MEDIATORS|

New York, March i9 (Monday).- The formal letter in which the com mittee of railroad managers authorized President Wilson's mediators to settle the strike was signed by Elisha Lee, chairman of the managers committee, and was as follows:
 ''Jn the national crisis precipitated by events of which we heard this aft ernoon, the national conference com mittee of railroads joins with you in the conviction that neither at home nor abroad should there be fear or hope that the efficient operation ot the railroads of the country will be hampered or impaired.
 Therefore, you are authorized to assure the nation there will be no strike, and as a basis for such assur- ance we hereby authorize the commit tee of the Council of National Defense to grant to the employees who are about to strike whatever adjustment your committee deems necessary to guarantee the uninterrupted and effi- cient operation of the railroads as an indispensable arm of national de- fense."
 Men Gain Demands.
 The decision, reached by the man. agers at their midnight conference, means that the brotherhoods have won an important victory, although 1t does not bring them all their original de- mands. By the agreement, it is as sumed they will be awarded pro rata time for overtime on the basis of an eight-hour day, which they have been assured. Their original demands called for time and half for over- time, on the same basic day.
 The men will get their present pay for ten hours for eight hours work under the agreement.
 These concessions on the part of the managers are virtually what the employees contended they would gain under the Adamson law if it were de- clared constitutional.
 Immediately after Secretary Lane had made his announcement the brotherhood leaders sent telegrams to all the general chairmen informlns them that the strike had been declared off.

Chaulnes and Nesle, and more than 60 villages, have been taken by Brit ish troops on front of some 45 miles, and King Georges men are continu- ing their pursuit of the retreating Germans. At some points, Sundays incursions into German positions were to a depth of 10 miles. The opera tions were carriedout on front run ing from Arras to Chaulnes.
 French Recapture Positions.
 Takin~ up operations south of Chaulnes, French troops recaptured their old posistions on the Roye-Noy on road, and including the important town of Noyon. In this region, north east of Lassigny, the French have penetrated more than 12 miles thru German positions,to ward the town of Ham.
 To the southeast, the entire first line of the Germans, including the villages of Carlepont, Morsam, and Nouvron Vingro were captured by the French, while northeast of Soissons, Crour has been taken.
 Grand Duke Pressing Turks.
 The armies of the Russian Grand Duke Nicholas are pressing the Turks in the Lake Van and Siva region, in Turkish Armenia, and in Persia, in operation which have as stheir object the cutting off of Turks, who are being pressed northward by the Brit ish in Mesopotamia.
 Unofficial reports say the town of Van,on the east bank of Lake Van, has been captured by the Russians, and that further gains have been made by them in the region of Ker- manshah.
 In Mesopotamia, the Ottoman forces are in full flight in the direc- tion of Samara, north of Bagdad, ac- cording to the British war office.
 Several engagements of more or less violence have taken place on the front in Russia, but no important changes in terrian have occurred.
 In Macedonia, strong attacks by the French between Lakes Ochrida and

Washington March 1S--Wth the announcement of the ruthless destruction of three unarmed American chant ships by submarines it is unofficiay admitted here tonight that virtually state of exists between the United States and Germany.
 Technically the United States remains in position of armed neutrality Whether this shall be changed be- fore April 16 the date fixed for special session of con gress the warna1ng branch of government President Wilson has not decided.
 Wilson Considers Converting Congress at Once
 One step the president is contemplating is call for an immediate session of congress to hear address ask ing for authority to adopt aggressive against the submarine menace.
 Already American ships are being armed to defend themselves; the next must be to send warshps with orders to seek out submarines and clear lanes.
 Some of the highest officials of the government hold that the executive has power to declare that state of exists and proceed with aggressive protective steps, pending the assembling of congress- There is indca ton however: that President Wilson will follow that course.
 Of the three ships destroyed two were unloaded and homeWard bound, and all American-built Ameri- citizens Meager dispatches indicate that all were sunk with complete disregard for the safety of those on board and that of the members of may have been lost
