 STRIKE SOON
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Only in- tervention by the federal government can prevent a general strike of opera tors employed by the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies, $. J. Konenkamp. president of the Telegra- phers Union said tonight before leav- ing for Chicago. Upon his arrival there he planned to mail out the call for walkout as a result of the refusal of the Western Union company to submit to the Jurisdiction of the national war labor board which sought to compose differences between the companies and the men.
 After two days spent here in discus- sing the situation with administration officials, members of congress and la bor leaders, MT. Konenkamp said he doubted that, even should the govern ment decide to intervene, action could be taken in time to prevent the men from going out. He declined to estimate the number that might be involved.
 Before the Cabinet
 Secretary Wilson who discussed the situation with the union president, is understood to have laid the matter be- fore the cabinet at it's meeting today, but there was no indication that fur ther steps were planned to prevent a strike.
 MT. Konenkamp said he had been assured by President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, of his interest and sympathy and of such assistance as the federation could lend an affiliated union. MT. Gompers made no statement

 After a while an object. was seen in the water. There was no way to reach it as the launch had lost her gasoline and oars. The launch, however, drift ed close and the survivors were startled to discover a girl. alive, cling ing to the bodies of two drowned men. The bodies were incased in lifebelts but the girl wore none. She appeared to be a good swimmer and with her own efforts and clinging to the two bodies for support she managed to re- main afloat. The launch got near enough to her to effect her rescue and she proved to be Fiona Donate NirIa, of Porto Rico. She is one of the two women landed. She was one of those in the launch and became separated from it when it 1 capsized. The identity of the two dead men is not known Their bodies were left and the launch continued to drift until Monday afternoon w''9' it was picked up by the British vessel.
 All the passengers and crew suffered from exahustion but were well on the way to recovery when they left foI New York.

AMERICANS SHOW UP
 WELL IN CONTRAST
 ID OTHER FIGHTERS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN PlCARDY, June 4.-(By The Associat- ed Press) s).-American troops cooper ating with the French west of Chateau Thierry, north of the Marne,, the near est and most critical point to Paris reached by the enemy, have brilliantly checked the onrushing Germans, beat en off repeated attacks and inflicted severe losses, adding to the glory of the American history.
 Rush Into Battle
 The troops began to arrive on the battle front on Saturday and partici- pated in the fighting almost immedi- ately. They not only repulsed the Germans at every point at which they were engaged, but took prisoners, without having any prisoners in turn taken by the Germans.
 The Americans entered the battle en- Enthusiastically, eaRer to fight, after a long march. On their way to the bat tie line, they were cheered by the crowds in the villages through which they passed. Their victorious stand, with their gallant French allies so soon after entering the line has electrified all France
 The work of the American machine gunners was particularly noteworthy. There was at least one instance where an entire attacking party was wiped out.
 Meet Foe Face to Face
 Owing to the fierceness of the bat tie, 1t has been difficult to verify de- tails, but there were instances of the stiffest of hand to hand fighting. In this, the Americans acquitted them selves in a manner which won the greatest praise from their French comrades. The most determined at- tack against the Americans occurred last night. Preceded by heavy bom- oardment, the Germans came in waves They penetrated the American trench es, but were quickly elected, leaving many dead.
 Two earlier attacks Monday and three Sunday had the same result.
 Quick Action Scores
 Scarcely had the Americans alighted from their motor lorries when they were ordered into Chateau Thierry with battalion of French colonial troops. The Americans immediately organized their defenses and by rapid action and excellent shooting caused the approaching enemy to hesitate.
 In order to mask their movements the Germans used smoke grenades, rendering shooting difficult for the de- lenders, and at the same time opened a severe bombardment on the town | The enemy started across the bridge but when many had reached the center of the structure a terrific explosion behind them heralded the destruction of the central arch. Dozens of the 1 Germa- were hurled into the water, while the few that reached the south side were captured.
 Protect French Troops The Americans who held the south end of the bridge and banks of the river, covered the whole operation and protected the French troops while crossing before the explosion. The French officers fighting with them de- clare that the Americans displayed wonderful qualities of coolness and courage in the most difficult situation and in the course ''e trying struggle | in the streets, while afterward they, with their machine guns, prevented all attempts of the enemy to repair the 1 bridge.

 Ordered All Off Ship
 "A German officer with an armed guard came alongside and gave orders to our captain to lower all boats and leave the ship in twenty minutes said one of the survivors. "Of course it would be useless to say that none of us was frightened. Good order was main- tained, however. The sea was smooth and there appeared to be few elements of danger. Nobody thought of storm, and the German officers appeared to show consideration to the passengers as they hurried to leave the steamer.
 Ten boats were lowered and every body got in. There was little or no confusion. All the time the subma- rine lay as close as possible. her crew standing on her deck watching us. After the lifeboats had swung away from the Carolina, the German officer ordered one to return. This frightened many in other Iifeboats. but after a time we found out the reason for the action. In going through the steamer l he found a fireman who had been left | behind and he had ordered the lifeboat to return for him.
 Carolina SheIIed Seven Times
 "When this last boat was clear of the ship again, the Germans left the Caro- lima and in a few minutes the subma- rine shelled her seven times. Then she burst into flames.
