tramp opened fire and shells
whistled around the lake vessel. Five
rounds were pumped at the raider,
and in short tine the attacking
vessel turned tail and disappearaG
over the horizon.
A few days later the coming tower
of a submarine appeared crly 1"'E
hundred yards away. The steamship
was swung around quickly 50 that
the submarine was astern and the

RAILROAD MEN AND DRAFT.

Question New Under Discussion IT
War Department and Railroad Ad-
ministration.
Deferred draft classification for
railroad employees is under consld-
Grafton between the War Department
md the railroad administration, II
became known yesterday.
The War Department objects to
giving special consideration to rail-
way employees as a class, insisting
that the case of each man should be
considered individually as to whether
lie is indispensable.
This policy does not satisfy the
railroad administration. which con
tends that few railroad men are &C
tually indispensable and that rn!eas
some uniform action IS prescribed 10
cal exemption boards may be nciln-
cu to refuse deferred classification 20

who have no dependents. Nearly
800 coo railroad men are within the
draft age, but the actual nun1bcr
which wolla be affected by such a
ruling is estimated at less than 20H'-
coo.
Secretary Baker authorized tn"
statement today that no date had
been selected for the beginning Of the
second draft. Various estimates
have place. the time between MarcA
! and juno !. These are declared to
Eo entirely guesses.
The governments disposition not to
