Chairman of Shipping Board Pre-
sents Strike of Seamen on
the Great Lakes.
MEN REMAIN AT WORK
independent Companies and the Lake
Carriers Association Are Willing
to Arbitrate the Question of
Wages to BE Paid.

Washington, July 30-Following a
conference with Chairman Hurley of
the shipping board. orders calling off
the threatened strike of seamen and
firemen on the Great Lakes were is.
sued by Victor A Olander, secretary
of the Sailors union of the Great
Lakes, and other union leaders.
In meeting all grievances given by
the men for a strike, Chairman Hur.
ley ordered the Lake Carriers asso-
citation and all it's members to sign
the nations appeal for men for mer-
chant ships ''as originally drafted and
without any changes" He also or
dered the association not to require
seamen to register in its shipping
offices or assembly rooms, pending
further negotiation.
Conference Set for Wednesday.
Independent ship owners on the
Great Lakes and the unions were
called upon by Mr.. Hurley to send
representatives to Washington next
Wednesday for a conference on the
pending wage demands OF seamen,
leaders and officials of the shipping
board said that wage questions could
not provoke a strike, as employers
and men are said to be willing to
arbitrate
The decision to call off the strike
followed a two-hour conference be-
tween the union leaders and officers
Of the shipping board. II was pointed
out again to the men that tie-up of
lake shipping would interrupt food
shipments to the soldiers overseas in
addition to hampering war operations.
Ordered to Sign Up.
Insistence by union leaders that
ship owners and their association
sign the appeal was met by Mr.. Hur-
ley's sending to William Livingstone,
president of the association, this tele-
gram:
United States Shipping Board
hereby directs the members OF the
Lake Carriers association and the
Lake Carriers association as an asso-
citation to sign the nations appeal for
men to man it's merchant ships as
originally drafted and without any
changes"
The other complaint of the men
that the registration of seamen at the
associations shipping offices and as
sembly rooms permitted the ship own
ers to discriminate against the men
and compel them to join the associa-
tion's welfare plan, was met by Mr..
Hurley's asking that the practice be
suspended pending further negotiation.

LARGE AIR OFFENSIVE
Attacks on German Cities Due in

British Officer Desires Allies to Or.
ganize and Coordinate
Their Resources.

New York, July 30-The possibil.
tiles of aerial warfare are yet far from
realization, although the Allies have
the ascendency or the air, and an
aerial offensive on a grand scale car
ried to German cities remote from the
battle line, including Berlin, is in the
realm of certainty i'm the not distant
future, provided the Allies organize
and coordinate their resources.
This is the conviction of Mai. Gen
w. s. Brancker. controller general OF
equipment of the British air ministry,
who has been in this country several
weeks in consultation with govern
ment officials in charge Of aviation.
Urges an Air Secretary Here.
Major General Brancker in state
ment on this subject. laid strong en-
phasis on the necessity for the or
ganization of the air forces on a basis
quite Independent of the land and sea.
General Brancker believes that
eventually the United States will be
Obliged by the pressure of military
necessity to create a secretary of air
forces, or the equivalent, under whom
air fighting, airplane production,
equipment and personnel will function
as separate branch of the combat.

United States Has Great Chain
OF Plants in Operation and
a. More Being Built.
HOG ISLAND GREATEST
Ing Factories and viii Launch
Its First Vessel Next Month,
Mrs. Wilson Sponsor.

Washington, July 3O.-The great
chain of ship manufactures in the
United States is approaching compile
tion.
There are now 11S fully equipped
yards in the United States and A
others partly complete. of which %
are more than rs per cent finished
ready to begin building tonnage.
Many have been built from the ground
up, while the others have been ex-
tended and enlarged to such a de-
gree that many of them amount al
most to new yards.
Thirty-seven steel yards which the
United States had when the war be-
gan have grown to 72. The old yards
have been increased from 162 ways to
1876 and more are being added Eigh-
ty yards for building wooden ships
now are in operation or nearing com
pletion. The remainder of the total
number of yards are for building con-
crete ships. a new industry developed
by the war need.
Hog Island, the greatest of all ship
yards and one of the four government
fabricating yards. is 80 per cent com
plete and will launch its first ship
next month, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
acting as sponsor.
Wherever expansion can be made
efficiently, the shipping board is lend.
ing its aid to increase the capacity of
existing yards. Within the month, Is
new ways have been ordered added to
the country's ship manufactories-as
Chairman Hurley prefers to call them,
for America is getting ready to manu-
facture" ships instead OF building
them.
The Alameda plant of the Bethle-
hem Shipbuilding corporation has
been authorized to add 10 new ways
at an estimated cost of $4,000, 900.
The same company's yard at Spar
rows Point, Md, is adding three ad-
ditional ways at a. cost of $4,000, 900.
The New York Shipbuilding corpora.
tion at Camden, N. j.. is building five
new ways at a cost of $7,000,000.
The 11S yards which are complete
are distributed sectionally as follows

100000 SPENT HOURLY
War Is Costing America That
Amount.

Washington, July 30.-America's
war bill has reached $13,935, ST., 900.
With expenditures during the first 27
days of July of s1,339,699, ,999 and es-
timated expenditures for the whole
month of $1.4SS, 100000. this nation is
now paying out approximately s50,000,-
600 a day, or over S2,000.000 an hour.
While the July bill will run about
$24,0O0,000 under the June total, treas
ury officials indicate the war cost to
the United States will likely remain
for some time around $1,500,000 900 q
month.
June thus far has been the high
month, with $1,512, 100000. In April,

DESCRIBE GERMAN CRUELTY
Sailors Tell OF Submarine Diving and
Leaving Them to Perish.

London, July 30.-The survivors OF
two sailing trawlers. one British and
one Belgian, just brought into a
British port, tell terrible tale of Ger
man cruelty.
The British trawler was sunk be-
fore dawn Friday by a bomb and the
crew was taken aboard the submarine.
Three hours later the Belgian trawler
was sighted and sunk and the crew,
consisting of father and son, also
was taken aboard.
All were kept on the submarines
deck near the coming tower and when
patrol boat appeared the submarine
submerged without warning, leaving
the fishermen to drown. The Belgian
skipper and his son and three English
men perished and only two of the
English crew were saved.

Foe Makes Determined Resistance
in Neighborhood of Fere-en-
Tardenois.

With the American Army on the
Aisne- Marne Front, July 30.-Rein,
forced by two crack divisions of Ba-
varian guards, the Teutons settled
down to the hardest resistance they
have yet displayed against the Amer.
lean forces north of the river Ourcq.
Although heavily hammered, the
Americans replied in like along the
river, and the fighting shifted back
and forth through Sergy, three miles
southeast of Fere en- Tardenois. Up
to midday the Germans had been un-
able to force a recrossing of the
Ourcq.
Retreat Is General.
London, July 30.-North of the
Marne the tide of German invasion
Is fast ebbing. The fact that a gen,
eral retreat i'm this region is going on
is not questioned, and the only ques-
tion of moment to be cleared up is
the location of the position at which
the enemy will turn at bay. Since
Saturday there have been important
changes in the battleline between
Scissors and Rheims. Today 1t runs
almost directly east from Oulchy le
Chateau to Fere en- Tardenois, then
across the Ourcq and continues east
ward until it reaches the Dormans-
Rheims road northwest of Rheims
mountain.
Burning Villages In Retreat.
II had been contended by military
experts that the Germans might elect
to stand on the line of the Ourcq
river from which their heavy cannon
might dominate the Paris-Chalons
railway along the Marne. This idea is
now proved erroneous. 1t appears
that there is no defensive position
south of the Vesle river to which the
Germans can retire and organize their
resistance to allied pressure.
The only other defensive position
seemingly possible is the one that fol-
lows the Aisne and Vesle from Sois-
sons to Fismes. and from that point
follows the course of the Arvre river
toward Rheims. Burning villages
along the Aisne and Vesle from Sois-
sons to Bazoches are reported and
tend to confirm the impression that
the Germans do not contemplate or.
ganized resistance south of that line.
Succeeds In EIuding Trap.
There is every indication that the
German high command has succeeded

offensive probably gave them time to
withdraw their heavier guns and a
large portion of their supplies from
the salient. This resistance was
strong along the line south of scissors
as far as Oulchy-le-Ville and west and
southwest of Rheims, which were the
vital sectors of the battle line.
The advance of the Allies east OF
Oulchy le Chateau must soon compel
the enemy to evacuate the line from
the Ourcq river toward scissors for
a considerable distance. Nearer
Rheims, however, the Germans seem
to hold positions that will prove a
pivot for their retreat toward the
Vesle river.
