TELEGRAPHERS TO WAIT
Strike Will Not Be Sanctioned Till
Labor Board Acts.

Washington, May 2.-S. ]. Konen:
kamp, international president of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union, an
nounced last night that he. would not
sanction a strike of union telegraph
ers pending settlement of the con-
troversy between the men and the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
Companies by the National War Labor
Board. The announcement by the un-
ion leader came after the, War Labor
Board had received a, telegram from
Newcomb Carlton, president of the
Western Union, refusing to comply
with the boards request that the COM
pany refrain from discharging en-
ployes who join the union until after
the board could hear both sides to
the controversy. Mr.. Carlton agreed
to appear May to state the reasons
why the company has determined not
to retain in its employ men who affili-
ate with the union. No reply was re-
ceived from the Postal Company
Earlier in the day Mr.. KonenkamF
had told the Board that the question
of a strike rested with the men and
that he would 60 to New York anc
Chicago to confer with them. In an,
nouncing later his compliance with the
request of the board not to sanction
a strike, Mr.. Konenkamp' said the mer
appreciate that "this is not the time
to accept challenges to fight" if peace
can be had by other means. ~

ONLY s45,000 NEEDED TO give ALEXANDRIA
A LIBERTY loan RECORD TO Be PROUD OF
If All Do Their Part the Speedily Fnishedony Two Days
Remains in Which Especial
to Those Not Yet Purchased Any Bonds.

Alexandria has oversubscribed its
allotment, S55,000 and now the Liber-
ty Loan committee urges the cooper
alton of every citizen to bring the to-
tai over-subscription up to the mark
set, which is 100000 or $4,000 aa-
ditional subscriptions.
This city is going to take its place
with other American cities and fur
n..sh to our allies the sinews of war;
The task before US, at this moment, a
task in which every American must
help (unless he wishes the country to
faii). It is within the power, yes, easi-
ly within the power OF everyone of us.
We are not yet asked to give our all.
We are only asked to do our part
lend our money. And if we do our
part promptly, cheerfully, all of US
joining, we may end the bloody trag-
edy without being forced to give our
all.
An especial appeal is now made to
those who have not purchased to do
SO at once. Only two days remain
to get greater proportion of the
people of this city qualified for the
roll of honor. If the reader of this ar
ticle has not been approached by any
OF the committees now at work, he or
she, should go Immediately and talk
with any of our local banking insti-
tutions. All of them are interested IN
having Alexandria do its best.

MARINE DISASTER.
Siyty-Nine Lose Lives by Collision
OFF the Delaware Capes Yesterday
Morning.

An Atlantic Port, May 2.-S!xty-
nine of the passengers AM crew OF
the Savannah Line steamship City OF
Athens lost their lives when the
steamer was rammed by a French
cruiser and sunk off the Delaware
Capes at 80 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
The ships came together while both
were running at fair speed IN
heavy fog which had settled down
about midnight. The City of Athens
was struck on the starboarl side, near
the bow, and went down in seven
minutes after the crash. A fire which
started on the ship Immediately after
the collision added to the panic on
board the ill-fated ship and hampered
the crew in their efforts to launch
lifeboats.
Among the lost were five recruits
of the Marine Corps. members of a
party of twenty-four on their way
from New York to the training sta
ton on Paris Island, S. c.
The cruiser backed off after the
crash and lowered boats. which picked
IN all the survivors who were found
ahoat. Many were drawn into the
vortex caused by the sinking OF the
steamer.
The cruisers bow was badly damag-
ed by the collision and seventeen OF
her men were reported lost.
Capt. A. c. Forward, of the City
of Athens, said his ship, which had left
New York at 8 o'clock Tuesday after
noon for Savannah, was running
through the fog with all lights dis
played when the French cruiser loom
ed upon the starboard bow, so close
that it was impossible to avoid col
lision. The fog, he said, was so thick
that not a glirmer Of the cruiser
| lights had been seen by the LOOKOUT
f! before the crash.
s O S calls were Immediately sent
out by the wireless operator, but nc
response was received Several OF the
steamers boats were launched, ac'
cording to Capt. Forward, which have
not vet been accounted for.

Boston, May "a solemn warning
to organized workers Of the United
States against the unwarranted stop
ping of work or. entering into any
movement which. you cannot defend

Gompers, president of the American

tonight.
"You must give your boys the right
and power to fight" he said, "and not
place them in the position of the Rus

weakness of the revolution and the
folly of the counter revolution. want

FATE OF BELGIANS.
Homes and Churches Of Captured DIS
tricts Frequently Searched ana
Robbed by Teuton Soldiers.

The Hun masters Of little Belg.um
having made all kinds of laws ana
rules as to how the Belgians Snail
comport themselves by Gay, are now
making statutes as to how they snail
sleep at night.
Gov. Gen. Won Falkenrauser has
lust handed down an order forbidding
the natives to stuff mattresses, cush-
ions and pillows with hay Or straw
feathers, wheat husks Or chatf.
Presumably all these things, with
the exception of feathers, are to be
carefully guarded for food for cattle
the Germans steal rom the Belgian
farmers.
In order to replace the wool, which
has been seized, the Belgians are
g:ayiously permitted to stuff pillows
and mattresses with old paper cut into
small bits-if they can find any.
The houses are searched by the Ger
man soldiers at frequent intervals and
almost always something that for
some obscure reason they deem OF
value is lugged away.
It is not so hard to guess why they
grab copper or bronze door latches'
cheap copper lamps and anything with
rubber in it, but they also take empty
bottles, casks, old corks, mattresses
and old shoes.
The relig;,:, feelings of the popu-
lace are not only ignored, but tram
pled upon. In the Journalists district
the Huns sent their solaiers into all
the churches and converts.
In some instances they interrupted
the services, forcing the priests to
stop the reading of the mass. They
rummaged every corner OF the
churches, pried up the altar stones In
search of hidden treasure and, in some
instances, carried of the vessels and
other church property.
!. In some cases they also forced the
priests to oren the tabernacle and eX-
pose the contents of the ciborium.
Now an Inventory Of all church bells
and organs in Belgium has been or
dered.
Twenty-Five thousand Belgian men
and bows have been compelled to work
on military operations under the whip
of German sentries behind the Ger
man lines in the regions of Valencien-
mes and Maubeuge alone. The NOR
talitv in the camp of the deported Bel
gians, it reports, is terrible.

KAISER OPPOSED TO DRIVE
Destruction of Paris One Aim, Asserts
Spaniard.

Paris, May 2.-"If the allies hold,
Germany is BEATEN" declared Span
;sh statesman, returning from Ger
many. who was interviewed at the
Spanish frontier yesterday by a Paris
CORRESPONDENT of the Exchange Tele-
graph Company.
"The kaiser did not approve the
present offensive" said the Spaniard'
"but Hindenburg, Ludendorff and the
crown prince said it would turn the
tide, although the losses would be
enormous.
"The offensive had three detectives
first, the capture of Amiens; sec
ond, the destruction of Paris and
third, the separation of the French
and British armies, with the capture
of Calais. All this was to be accom-
plished before May day.
"The German feeling at the failure
thus far, together with the enormous
losses, is making the kaiser stronger
and lessening the power of linden
burg, Ludendorff and the crown prince
"If the present offensive is success
full, it means the return to power OF
Won Buelow, and the launching of 9
new peace offensive, which may oe
acceptable to both sides"
The correspondent believes that ths
/ Spanish statement is sympathetl'
with the Germans.

HUNS Want POPE'S AID
Grounds for Belief That Germany
Recognizes Failure To Obtain A
Military Decision.

hiiltdiS DectsiuN.
Washington, May 2.-Wireless dis
! patches dated The Hague and quoting
Cologne newspapers as saying Pope
Benedict intends TO Issue new peace
offer on May 10, were accepted in Of
fetal circles here as another bit Of
German propaganda. Heretofore the
State Department has been able to
gather an intimation Of the purpose
of the Pontiff to initiate peace pro-
posals, but not a suggestion of such
nm intention has come from any source
recently.
The statement in the dispatch that
the news of the Pope's purpose had
reached Berlin, "wflere it has been re-
ceived sympathetically," was taken
here to indicate that German influence
is being brought to bear OH the Pom
tiff to intervene. Assuming such to
be the case, officials feel that there
might be some grounds for believing
that the Germans now recognize that
their efforts to attain a military de-
cison in the West this summer are
doomed to failure.
The Hague, May Pope Benedict
intends to issue a new peace offer on
Whitsunday, May 10, Cologne newspa-
pers announce. The document, it is
said, will Dc Of more pressing nature
than formerly and will contain con-
crete offers Of mediation by the Pope
with the possible cooperation of neu-
trail sovereigns Similar information
of the Pope's intention. It is said, has
reached Berlin, where is has been re-
ceived sympathetically.
This is not the first report emanat-
ing from Germany recently that the
Pope is about to make another peace
move. The Neueste Nachrichten, of
Munich, Bavaria, according to a Lon
don dispatch of April %. said that the
Pope would make peace offer as
soon az the western offensive had as
sumed a new phase. The Bavarian
newspaper declared the move would
take the form Of "a word of warning
addressed to the universal con-
science"
A dispatch from Stockholm Tues
day reported that u message from
Basle announced that Emperor
Charles of austria was making a new
peace offer, appealing to Italy to con-
sider It in her own interests.
That peace offensive" would be
made by the Central Powers in the;
event that the German offensive on.
the West appear abortive has been
predicted frequently in Allied capitals.
This may be the beginning.
Pope Benedict's peace proposals
last August were preceded by reports
through neutral countries that he
was about to take such action. The
Pope proposed the restoration of ter
ritory captured by the Central Pow
ers, peaceful settlement of the Al
sace-L Lorraine, Trcntino. and Polish
questions. reduction Of ali ornaments
and freedom cf the seas President
Wilson, in replying for the American
and Entente Governments, refused the
proposals. The reply OF the Central
Powers. made some days after that of
President Wilson, expressed hope that
the Popc's efforts would result in a
cessation Of. hostilit:es. ,
