TRANSPORT FIRES ON U-BOAT
Captain of Brazilian Steamer Wit
Messing Sea Fight off the New
Jersey Coast Recently.

An Atlantic Port, June 11-An
American transport fired five shots
at a German submarine this morning,
seYenty-five miles off the New Jersey
coast, with unknown -desults, accord
ing to information brought here to-
night by the captain OF a Brazilian
steamship.
The freight ship, bound north from
a South American port, sighted the
submarine soon after 10 o'clock I'm
mediately full speed ahead was or
dered and the vessel zigzagged. A
few minutes later a vessel in the dis
lance, that later was identified as a
United States army transport, open
ed fire on the submarine. Two shots
were heard, followed almost imme-
diately by three others. The subma-
rine was too far away, said the South
American captain, for him to tell
whether any of the shots took effect.
He also said he thought the transport
was too far from the U-boat for the
latter to try hit with torpedo.
The Brazilian steamer continued fits
course with all possible speed for this
port without waiting tosascertain the
result of the encounter
Norfolk, Va, June 11.-Survivors of
the American freighter Pinar Del Rio,
arriving here today from Manteo, n.
C., said the German submarine which
sank their vessel 10 miles northeast
Of Cape Henry last Saturday morning,
after chase Of more than an hour,
was accompanied by a large steamer
which they believed to be a mother"
ship. They also asserted that after
their submarine sank two American
sailing vessels.
Walter C. B. Burrows, first assist
ant engineer of the Pinar Del Rio, de
scribed the raft with the submarine
as a vessel of 5000 gross tons with a
single funnel amidships. She was
painted gray, and stood some two or
three miles in the offing while the
submarine signaled the vessel in inter
national code, Follow me-" and the
U-boat and her consort steamed away.

LABOR MUST SUPPORT WAR
President Warns American Federation
That Our Cause Can Easily
Be Lost at Home.

Washington, June 12.-President
Wilson telegraphed today to the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor and the
American Alliance for Labor and De-
mocracy, in convention at ST. Paul,
Mimi, urging renewed efforts of labor
in support Of the war program.
"The war can be lost in America as
well as on the fields of France and
illconsidered or unjustified Interrupt
lions of the essential labor of the
country may make It impossible to
win it, said the Presidents tele-
gram to Robert Maisel of the Ameri.
can Alliance for Labor and Democ-
racy.
No controversy between capital and
labor should be permitted to interfere
with the prosecution Of the war, the
President said, until every instrument
tality set up by the government has
been employed to settle it.

war PLANTS TO BE
LOCATED IN WEST
The Government Will Not Allow
Further increase in Con-
tracts in the East.
WILL PREVENT CONGESTION
Products for Export Will be Routed
to South Atlantic and the
Gulf Ports.

Washington, June Ito check
further Industrial congestion in the
already overburdened East, the gov
eminent has prescribed district in
which it will permit no increase in
the volume of war orders nor in the
number of plants handling them.
This district includes New England,
Eastern and Southern New York,
Eastern Pennsylvania to Williams
port and Altoona, New Jersey, Della
ware and Eastern Maryland, exclud-
ing Baltimore.
War Heads Agree on Policy.
The new policy announced tonight
by the War Industries Board and
Fuel and Railroad administrations,
will tend to create expansion of in
dustries in the Middle West and
South.
The reason for the action, which al
ready has been put into effect to
some degree, is primarily the inabil-
ity of the railroads to supply coal or
haul promptly the manufactured pro-
ducts.
Demand Exceeds the Supply.
Officials in charge of quantity pro-
duction for the government point out
that the demand for war materials is
actually greater at present than the
capacity OF manufacturing plants and
that consequently a continual expan-
sion which the government hopes to
promote in the less congested Middle
West and South, and to prevent in the
East To some extent the execution
Of the policy will affect factories
through the country.
The labor problem also will be af-
fected. Labor advisers of the gov
eminent had found one of their most
difficult questions in the lure of labor
to the new war Industries in New
England, Eastern New York and
Pennsylvania and along the seaboard
through New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland Farms in the East were
almost denuded of men and there was
a general unsettling of labor condt
tions farther west
To Route Exports.
So far as the shipyards are CON
cerned, this situation cannot be i'm.
proved much by the new policy, but
the government hopes to minimize
labor difficulties in other industries
More equal distribution of manufac
turing will enable the Shipping Board
and Railroad Administration better to
carry out the policy Of routing more
export shipments through South At
lantic and gulf ports.

HAD ATMOSPHERE OF HOME
Ambassador Quick to See Attraction
@Hostess House" Would Have fer
Americans in London.

II was an amusing incident that first
made the need OF the hostess house
apparent In London In 1917 certain
American members Of q Canadian unit
had business with the American am
bassador, but could come to him only
on Sunday Mr.. Page suggested that
they come to tea at his house. Six OF
them arrived, and Mrs Page poured
tea In the drawing-roOm- 1t was very
CHEEKY and cordial, but somehow the
business hung over. They had to meet
another Sunday.
This time there were ten Americans
and the business was not completed.
Mr.. Page suggested a third Sunday,
and 20 Americans came to transact
business with him on that day.
During the following week he Sug-
gested that the Americans In the
Canadian unit who still wished to talk
to him should come TO his house a
fourth Sunday and wind up affairs
with him, and on the fourth Sunday
the Page drawing room was packed
with soldiers.
The ambassador told his associates
about it, and one OF them ehaffed an
American who had gone there TO tea
Ambassadors are popular with you
TanksI' he said.
"Oh, the ambassadors all right -
conceded the American. But we
didn't attach much Importance to the
business. It was Mrs. Page She
served US tea around an honeSt-to-

above the draft age will be accepted
as candidates. Those with technical
educations are being sought.

Hun Counter Attack.

Washington, June 13 = Further
gains have been made by the French
troops in a sudden turn in the region
between Montdidier and Noyon,
where in addition to the capture of
territory. near Belloy and st. Maur,
the center of the line, 400 additional
Germans have been made prisoner
and some big guns and machine guns
have been taken
Numerous German counter attacks
have been repulsed, but the enemy
succeeded at one point in crossing
the Matz river. 1t was in the center
OF the new offensive front that the
Germans had made their biggest gain
recently.
French Retire Slightly.
On the eastern side Of the Disc
river the French have carried out
strategic retirement along the line of
Belloy, Tracy-Le-Val and NampceI,
unobserved by the enemy.
Further south, north of the Marine,
in the region of Chateau Thierry, the
French have recaptured the village of
MontcOurt and a portion Of the vii
1age of Brussiares. In violent fight
ing between the Aisne river and the
forest of ViIlers-Cotterets the enemy
made slight gains against the French.
Carlepont wood was evacuated for
strategic reasons, and the Germans
got a footing on the south bank of
the MatZ river.
No More Advance Claims.
But around Noyon no claim is
made by the German official state
ment today of further advances. On
the contrary, the communication
shows that the enemy everywhere is
engaged in attempts to hold back the
French and other allied troops, among
them some Americans.
No mention is made of the allies
having advanced their front east of
Merry and the GenIfs wood, or of the
repulse of violent German attacks
along the Aronde river and at the
Loges farm and Antheui1. Neither
is any mention made of the fact that
the Huns, Notwithstanding numerous
attempts, have been unable to de-
bouch south OF the Matz river.
