Daniels Opposed to
Foreign Decorations
Naval Men Are Permitted ia
Accept Them Under Re-
cent Armv Laws

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The accept
ance of British decorations, conferred
by King George on certain American
naval officers. is said to have dis
pleased Secretary of the Navy Daniels
to the point where he may make known
his feelings to the officers involved.
Secretary Daniels expressed his opin-
ion indirectly on the matter some time
ago, when he congratulated Vice-Admi-
raj Sims, head Of the American naval
officers abroad, on his declination of u
decoration proffered by King George.
The head of the navy will issue no
order agains: the acceptance of foreign
decorations by officers in the naval
service, however, because of the cx-
press provision in the last army bill
authorizing men in both the military
and naval establishments to accept
honors and decorations conferred by
the Allied governments. Friends Of
the Secretary say had he known at the
time this provision in the army bill
was pending that it would apply to
the navy he would have opposed it,

Bitter Battle Rages Beyond Ourcq;
Last German Rail Line Under Fire

observers reported that bodies of Ger
mans were fleeing precipitately north
ward along the road leading from Lau-
noy, which lies about midway between
Soissons and Fere-en- Tardenos.
The attack by the Allied forces,
which brought them such good results
during the day. started at o'clock
this morning, with the aid of tanks.
The British joined with the French
in attacking the woods, thickets and
villages, each of which had been trans
formed into a fortress with the aid
of machine guns.
BY 6 O'Clock Hill 205 and the village
Of Courdoux, Servenay and Cramoi
sclles had fallen before the deter
mined Allied assaults and prisoners
were coming in. By O'Clock the ad-
vance was so marked that the British
and French batteries were able to go
forward to new positions. The German
guns replied feebly, but their mitrail-
leuscs were very numerous.
The enemy counter attacked furi-
ously from Buzancy and Eveque Wood,
but their efforts were splendidly held
up by the Allied infantry.
By evening the Allies had occupied
Ccamaille. northwest of Fere-en-Tar-
denois and the hillocks to the north
Of it.

U-Boat Sinks
Bark55OMiles
OffU.S.C Coast
British Steamer Lands
Crew Of 18 From Portu-
guese Ship

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Portu-
guese bark Porto was sunk by Ger
man submarine $50 miles off the At
lantic coast on July 27, the Navy De-
partment announced to-day The crew
OF eighteen men has been landed at an
American port by British steamer.
After overhauling the bark the sub
marines crew destroyed it with bombs
placed IN the cargo of cotton. No fur
ther details were given, but it was as
sumed that the crew was permitted to
take to the small boats The Porto
was bound from Savannah for Oporto.
This is the first official word Of a
submarine operating off the coast re-
celved here since a sea wolf appeared
suddenly off the Massachusetts sea-
board eleven days ago and shelled a
tug and the barges it was towing.
This occurred several days after the
United States cruiser San Diego had
been destroyed off Fire Island, N. Y,
presumably by a mine planted by the
submersible.
There was no inform alton to show
that the submarine which sank the
Porto was the same one that attacked
the tug and barges. but it was assumed
that it was. There have been several
unofficial reports recently of steam
ers sending radio messages that they
We're being attacked off the coast. but
if they were destroyed their crews
have not yet been landed on American
shores so far rs the Navy Department
has been advised.
Tuesday night a British ship put into
an Atlantic port with it's stern dam
aged and its cook wounded by piece
of shrapnel. The crew told story OF
a fve-hour running fight with a giant
U-boat 600 miles east Of Sandy Hook.

p. S. C.. Asks Wilson
To Assist in Plan
To Raise Car Fare.

ihe Public Service Commission YES
terday recommended to President
wilson the appointment of a street
railway administrator, or board of
'hree, to advise with the local authori-
.'es on the question Of granting wage
increases. "But," said the commission
ers' ANY increases granted should of
course be for the war period only"
FEDERAL assistance in solving street
railway problems is being urged on the
ground that in spite of the "bank-
1uptcy" cry of some of the traction
companies the lines must be kept run
n'ng to their full limit to facilitate
the travel Of war workers.
Opinion prevailed yesterday that the
present cent rate would be raised to
cents and possibly cents in less
: 'nan month. An official of the New
lork Railways Company said that to
overcome the inconvenience of handl-
ing pennies new or Z cent coin
would have to be minted.
Ine good old nickel, which from
''me 'mmemoral has been an easy
passport from anywhere to anywhere
within the city. is as good as gone"
ne said. "a nickel is worth oniy 3
cents now. There will undoubtedly be
ne" coin mintcd to meet the new
carfare.n
AN increase Of even cent in the
iare would cost New Workers millions
annually. On the basis of 1,918,s12 900
1sres collected last year, a 1-cent in
s'ease would amount to $19,1s1,12o

Shuttle Service Failure a,
42d Street Adds Greatly
to Confusion

Thousands Of persons were lost last
night in the subway at Times Square
owing to the confusion resulting from
the opening of the new "H" section of
the Manhattan underground system.
While city officials, Interborough Off
Gals, members of the Public Service
commission and several hundred guests
enjoyed a comfortable first trip over
the new West and East Side lines and
were celebrating the opening of the
new service at the Astor Hotel. a great
throng of bewildered citizens jammed ID
the old Times Square subway station
scurrylng back and forth between that
central point and the shuttle stations
connecting with the new up and ,ou,n
town lines in an almost vain effort "a
hnd trains which would carry them
home.
The old service from Times soYare
TO the express station at Grand Cen
tral was entirely cut off by the new
arrangement. The shuttle serv;r.
which took its place, went bad. the
trains running at long intervals. and
general confusion resulted. The con-
gest'on on the trains when they did
arrive to take off the waiting and dis
gruntled crowds surpassed ANYTHING
ever heard of before in the sad HISTORY
of the underground strap hangers.

of nations already in existence-the
British Empire and the great alliance

Referring to the Paris resolutions, he
said:
"Up to the present time America has
expressed no opinion upon them, and it
is vitality important that the policy of
America and that Of this country
should be in complete agreement on
economic, as we'll as other problems.
An agreement among the Allies means
that the economic fate Of the world will
be in the hands of the great Allied
powers federated together at present" "

promoting after-war industries essen
