A REAL RAILROAD MAN

PN HE DEATH of William H. Newman recalls to mind the time when he the mostly highly paid railroad man In America Newman began brakeman came to be sta ton agent promoted step by ep and learned all there was to know about the business he was in
 He was man who sought publicity for himself He absorbed in the work he did, end 2ar for no other re- ward than that brought.
 RefreshinglY different Newman from the modern type of railroad president who himself to be advertised like brand of soap his picture every paper and his pus every bill board This the type of railroad president who ugges legislation and cOFFups public fe But Newman tried to make railroads popular by making them efficient
 The financial history of the United States shows two classes of fnanciers One class ook chance They built railroads raised up great industries produced useful things that did not before exist They served the people in thou sand making life comfortable and profitable for everybody The institutions they reared afforded useful employment to millions of workers and the products thereof consumed to the benefit of multitudes.
 The second class produced little, built little, added little They took railroads and other institutions creative financial ability had reared and used them counters to gamble with made yawns Wall street mked them for private prof it, betraying to do many private and public trust
 is this men, frohy insncere, without much ability and with creative power who building up socialism in the United States who destroying property rights and devas tang and ethical values which honest business Aboriously brought into existence
 The country needs of the Newman type and fewer of the other kind.

WAGE ADJUDICATION

IS LAID down part of the labor policy of the govern ment that shall have equal pay for equal work Upon this theory is reasonable suppose that the forhcon- ing decision of the War Labor Board will distinctly mark up the scale of pay for women workers.
 The scale will be much higher than the present scale cay in It does not require special knowledge warrant the statement for it is the policy of the to raise wages level with the increased living
 This adjudication will be wholesome regardless rate wages Workers ought to enough increased cost of living It is necessary that they should Thus will be stability of employment the avoidance of strikes other stopages of production
 But another advantage from the existence of the labor board Having power throughout the country, il produce substantially equal conditions that part of the industry of the United States will not angush under higher wages shorter hours than sustained by tons
 National wage fixing will prove itself blessing to every body After the adjustment of wage disputes will be much function of the nation the administration of the Iinary forms of justice

 In his successful counter offensive Foch reduced the ent between Rheims and SOssOns accounting for half the w.
 The French British offensive is aimed against the other salient which has it's broader base with SoissOn at and Albert at the other. Montddier is at the apex.
 This salient also will disappear and the Germans at dis an date must fall back at least to their line from Rheims to St. Quentin the ground they occupied at the close of the
 The offensve which has hardly begun, has already counted 0 German prisoners and hundreds of guns guns described as too numerous to count"
 The attack has great momentum, and meeting relatively little resistance The Germans evidently not prepared to make strong stand and will be concerned mainly with get ting guns and supplies back to safe place. Rhis operation will less difficult than it in the Rheims SOissons salient but will be task of small proportions The Somme must ultimately be crossed in the retirement This will be task of difficulty Again the Germans caught with frontal and flanking fire
 Presently they will have explanations to make to the German people, who will desire to know what has become the march upon Paris.

FAILURE TO GIVE ACQUISITIONS IS
 CAUSE OF SUITS
Timothy Laughlin Sued for Substantial Damages by
 Contractors.
Tuesday, August 13

Three houses which he has been building in Cos Cob have been the source of much trouble to Timothy Loughlin of Greenwich. Two con- tractors who have been at work on them, one doing the carpenter work and the other the painting and var nishing, have both entered suits against him in the common pleas courts today for failure on the part of Loughlin to make payments ac- cording to the contracts he had with these men. Trouble with the archi- tect who, for some reason or other, refused to sign acquisitions, without which no money could be collected seems to be at the bottom of the diff ficulty.
 On November 23, 1917, William Perlman of New York entered into a contract with Loughlin to furnish the labor and materials necessary for the painting and vanishing of the three houses he was building in Cos Coh from the specifications drawn up by W. R. Steinmetz, the architect. The price was to be $220 per house, the payments to be made as follows: 5C when exterior of house was complet- ed; $1O0 on each when interior wood work was finished with the exception of the floors, and the balance, $70 when the house was done.
 It was agreed that these printed conditions that were attached to the contract were to be a part of 1t. Perl man had his work finished before July 10, 1918, and had fulfilled al conditions except that of getting the requisitior for payments from the architect, but did not do this because the architect for some reason refused to give it to him. Loughlin had pait $250 on account but there is still $40( unpaid. Perlman is asking for $47I damages.
 Nathan Siegel, carpenter. has muc1 the same grievance against Loughlin He agreed to do the carpenter worI for three houses for $525 a house payments to be made on requisition signed by Architect Steinmetz.. Thi contract was made last Septembe and fulfilled on July 10 of this year Loughlin paid $1,055 on account ant there is a balance due of $520. H. asks for damages to cover this unpait

.SOMMERSTAD SUNK
 YESTERDAY MORNING
Capt. Hansen and 30 Mem bers of Crew Rescued by
 Naval Patrol Boat.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 1S.---German submarines took toll of American shipping in waters adjacent to this port for the second time yesterday, when the Norwegian steamship Som merstad was sunk off Fire Island. The 3.S75 ton freighter was sent to the bottom not far from the locality where the arnored cruiser San Diego was blown up on July 19.
 The Sommerstad, whose crew of 31 was brought here today, was under charter to the United States Shipping Board. The vessel was on the way from Bergen, Norway, to New York, in ballast.
 | Captain Hansen, master of the ship, said she was sunk at o'clock yester- day morning. The crew took to the boats and later were picked up by a passing vessel.
 The Sommerstad was built at New castle, England, in 1906, and was owned by A. F. Klaveness & Go. l Washington, Aug. 13---The Norwe- gian steamer Sommerstad was torpe- doed without warning and sunk by a German submarine yesterday morn ing, 25 miles southeast of Fire Island, N. Y, the Navy department was ad- vised today by the commandant of the Third Naval District Captain Fdnser and 30 members of the crew were rescued by a naval patrol boat
 and taken to port. There were no casualties.
 The captain reported that he saw the wake of a torpedo and immedi- ately reversed engines. The torpedo passed under the bow of the vessel which was drawing only seven feet of water. Full speed ahead was then ordered but the torpedo turned sharp ly to the left and returned, hitting the vessel behind the third and fourth holds on the port side.
 The force of the explosion tore a
 great hole in the side and in five min utel, the whole deck amidships was awash. The crew succeeded in launch ing two boats and got away in safety. They saw the vessel go down stern first and finally stand almost upright 1 in the water about IA feet of the bow being visible. The crew made for Sandy Hook and sighted the patrol boat ten hours later.

SUBMARINE CREW STAMPS ON THE
 AMERICAN FLAG
Fishermen Outrageously Treated by Crew of Hun
 Pirate Off Nantucket.
MEN ROCKED ABOUT
 BY ANGRY GERMANS
Survivors of Fishing Boats Tell Stories After Land
 ing at Island Port.

Nantucket, Aug. 13.---An American flag, torn from the masthead of the little schooner Lena May, one of the fishermen sunk by a German subma- rine off the New England coast Sat urday, was taken aboard the enemy craft by a German officer, who wrapped it around his neck and gave a grotesque exhibition of dancing, while his men, each armed with a re- volver, looked on and cheered.
 This was the story told here today by survlvors of the vessel who were forced to witness the performance. The fishermen had been ordered aboard the U-boat where ten of them stood against the coming tower to be photographed. As they were being lined up for the picture they were jeered by the U-boat crew, and knocked about when they failed to move as rapidly as the commander ordered.
 The mate of the Lena May declared the Germans were intoxicated. He said the American flag was flung down and stamped on, amid shrieks from the captors.
 A member of the submarine crew who spoke English rather brokenly, was asked why they wanted photo graph.
 That goes back to Germany" he replied, ito show what we do over here. We have quite a lot of them. They look good in Berlin"
 All of the men from the Lena May and the Earl and Nettie, another fish erman sent down by gufire, said they received outrageous treatment at the hands of the Germans. Rising to the surface in the midst of the fleet the vessels than he could sink immedi- ately. They were told to stand by and await destruction.
 In the desire to obtain food and clothing, the commander set out in a dory and to save his own men from the work of rowing Captain Frank Lynch of the Lena May and two other fishermen were required to man the boat. The dory moved swiftly enough, but Captain Lynch was or dered repeatedly to hurry. The continual jeering of the Ger mans got on the nerves of the fisher men, hardy men accustomed to many dangers, but they remained quiet, for while orders were shouted in German which they could not understand, the sight of many revolvers showed that they would have no chance if they offered resistance. The crew was en- outraged by officers of the U-boat There was a fresh outburst as the fishermen boarded their dory and pulled away.
 They had taken everything we had exept the clothes we wore" the mate said, "but we were glad to get away And the thing that hurt most was the way they shouted while stamping or our flag"

WAR CARRIED TO ATLANTIC COAST
 BY SUBMARINES
Washington Believes Cam paign of Frightfulness"
 is Planned by Huns.

Washington, Aug. 13-German sub- marines, which since May at intervals of several weeks, have been attempt ing to carry the campaign of fright fulness' to America through the sinking of vessels of the Atlantic coast, have decided to carry the war to the shores of America.
 This was the view taken by many officials today of the attempt by a German submarine to gas the mem bers of the crew of the Coast Guard Station at Smiths Island, North Carolina, last Saturday by spreading oil from which mustard gas was gen erated over the waters near the island Navy Department despatches said that although six members of the Coast Guard crew were overcome by the fumes, no serious after effects were noted.
 At the Navy Department today i' was declared the new plan of war fare being waged by the Germans would be no more successful than the attempts to destroy American ship ping. Though thirty-one vessels nave been SUNK bS C-DOaIS oli the Atlantic coast since May, most of the ships have been small many only being fishing schooners, and the loss of life has been very slight.
 Despatches received by the depar-' ment \told of an attack by an Ameri- can destroyer on an enemy submar- inc one hundred miles off the Nir. oinia coast in which seventeen depth bombs were dropped, after whicr traces of oil were seen on the sur face. Two more depth charges were set of and the submarine was not seen thereafter.
