UNITY CONTROL
OVER TRANSPORTS
Will be Operated in Single

International News Service:
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S-The
overseas transportation problem. so
far as IL affects the nearly 100 yes
sells in the transport service Of the
navy. has been solved All Of these
vessels. which include some of the
largest afoat. have been placed an
der the direction OF what is 10 be
known as the Naval Overseas Trans
pOrtation service. Hereafter they
will be operated as a single unit and
will be directed from Washington.
Included in the vessels that come
under this plan are the various
transports. supply ships and the like
which have been assigned to the
navy for operation.
BY bringing these vessels under a
single direction their efficacy has
been more than doubled. officials
said today. Tt was necessary, how
ever. for the director Of the new
fleet to work out a large number
Of intricate problems before the new
system could be effected. However,
they were all solved and today the
new naval COnlFOl went TITO erect.
Forced by Divided Authority.
This action of the navy was fore
ed because Of the divided authority
existing over the American vessels
plying the Atlantic. Some Of these
are operated under the direction of
the shipping board. Others are I'M
der the direction of the navy. Still
others are exclusively army craft.
But all look TO the navy for pro-
lection and convoy.
In the past the crews of the YES
sells have not been amenable to
naval discipline. Their crews were
for the most part aliens who ship
ped simply for the high bonus paid
for traversing the submarine zone
and who cared nothing about the
fate Of their ships.
The vessels Of the Naval Overseas
Transportation service hereafter
will be manned by enlisted men Of
the naval reserve commanded by
commissioned officers in the naval
service. These men, subject as they
will be TO the iron discipline of the
navy, will be far more efficient. Il
is stated, and will respect all orders
from the officers commanding the
naval conveys which accompany
them.

Prince Radolin, who died last
summer. was one of the richest
men in Prussia. His real name was
Radolinsky. and he was the descend
ant of an old and illustrious Polish
family. a fact which, however, seem
ed to have been eclipsed in his
memory, by his admiration for the
great German empire, until the be-
ginning OF the present war, when his
opinions underwent a considerable
change He had played an import

the Berlin court during the last
years Of the old Emperor William 1,
when he held the important posi-

 The entire work of the service detectives and the evidence they have gathered be made public It is understood that it is shown definitely that Irish lead in America, of whom Sim Fein synpathiz- cs have been in touch with German representatives who had agreed furnish the necessary money finance the rebellion.
 It possibly the intention of the German imperial government send and ammunition to the Emerald Isle aboard submarines blockade These were be placed in the hands of the rebeious people against the English troops that would have doubtless been to quell the uprising
 The evidence also shows that the question of sending German troops aid ill the rebellion discussed Had the uprising been allowed mature is thought that such action would have been taken by Germany The potters had planned fer the rebellion the time the Ger armies expected reach the French channel ports victories would throw England in such confusion that the uprising would have been successful in every way
 It is also evident that the Germans interested in the interests from the European battlefield and cenering their home troubles thereby making easier for the Ger armies continue their path the English chan rel.

HEAD OF ROAD IS FIRED FOR
 DlS0BEDIENCE

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 2l.- This morning w. G. McAdoo, direct or of railways, removed c. w. Hunt ington from the position of president of the Virginia railway.
 This is the first occasion when the new director of railways has re- moved a chief official front his posi- ton. The direct reason for Mir. Huntington's removal from office was his disobedience of orders from the government in regard to the main tenance and improvement of the road. Several times an order was issued by the director of railways di- recting that great deal of improve ment be done on the road at once. These orders the former president disregarded entirely.
 It was not stated by MT. McAdoo who would succeed MT. Huntington as president of the road. This ac- tion of the director of railways re. ceived the endorsement of the other officials of the Virginia railway.

 A great quantity of grain has al ready gone forward to Holland. and it is only owing to the absolute necessity of America using her re- maining boats that the rest cannot be shipped. At different Atlantic ports. ready for shipment, there are now 15,O00 tons of cereals. It is thought that the Holland govern ment will send ships for this much needed grain at once.

NO OPERATIONS
 f,F IMPORTANCE
 ON WEST FRONT

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY, Nay 21.--By striking viciously at various points along the western front, by meeting each outburst of Gclnan artillery with the thunder nf their cannon and by maintaining the mastery of the air from the North sea to the Swiss frontier, the allies are preventing the Germans from quietly perfecting any prepara- lions for coming battles.
 Secure in the knowledge that the passing of each day brings new Am erican legions to help crush the next German offensive, the allies are finding satisfaction in the fact that the enemy as yet has been unable to launch a new blow in the strug. gle for mastery.
 BRITISH IMPROVE POSITIONS
 LONDON, May 21.-An official re. port received by the British war of. flee states that the British forces last night improved their positions northwest of Merville, in the Elan. ders salient. AS result of the en. gagement the British captured thirty prisoners and six machine guns. The casualties of the British attacking force are reported as slight. This morning the German troops launched a heavy counter attack against the recently acquired positions. These attacks, however, were in vain, as the British forces retained the posi-. tions. The attacking Germans suf. fered considerable losses in men killed.
 THINK HlNDENBURG DEAD
 WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. May 21.-The rumor to the effect that General von Hinden. burg, commander-in-chief of the Ger. man armies. died recently, has be. come generally current among the enemy troops in the back areas. The civilian population in these dis tricts are also giving a good deal Of credepce to the rumor. The basis for such an idea is unknown at these headquarters. No authentic word has been received in any way that would prove the German general to be dead. The first word of von linden surg's death was brought to the all i'd lines by German prisoners who aad been captured by the French troops.

LONG MISSING
 YANKEE FLYER
 NOW PRISONER

WITH THE AMERICANS, May 21. Authentic reports have been re- ceived to the effect that Captain James Norman Hall, who has been missing since May z, is wounded and a prisoner in German hospital
 Captain Hall was a member of the American flying corps and con sidered a most efficient aviator When last seen he was conducting an of. fensive against an enemy plane over the German lines. Some time after the aerial engagement the aviator was missed. A diligent search was made in the surrounding country, it being thought he might have been wrecked. No trace of him was found on the American side. Until today he was given up as dead by the military authorities, they thinking he had been downed by the German plane. Considerable relief was felt by his comrades upon it being dis covered that he was alive, although wounded prisoner. Captain Hall before the war gained good deal of recognition as an author. He was also an enthusiastic amateur aviator and wasted no time in join ing his country's forces when war was declared on the German gov ernment.

GERMAN PLANES FORCED ALICHT
 IN NORTH SEA

LONDON. May 21.-Two German airplanes of the newest type were rescued in the North Sea. where they were forced to land. The aviat. ors and their machines were placed on the boats.
 It is thought that these are two of the machines that attempted a raid on this city Sunday. A num- Der of British machines engaged the enemy in action at the time of the raid. Five of the Huns were downed by the British Sunday evening, and it was thought that others were dis. abled to some extent. There is hardly any doubt that the machines found in the North Sea belonged to the raiding party.
 It is stated that the machines were in such condition that they were unable to take to the air, and had it not been for the steamer coming upon them, there was a great likelihood of their perishing. The aviators of the planes have made no statement regarding their participation in the Sunday raid.

MEN ENLISTINC
 TOO FAST FOR
 SHIPS ON HAND

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J., May 21 -Josephus Daniels. secretary of the navy, delivered an address tonight before the students of Rutgers col lege. The secretary was given a big ovation by his auditors and was several times forced to pause in his speech during the applause. In his address. Secretary Daniels stated that before another summer America would have enough ships to carry a million men to France.
 A portion of the speech delivered by Secretary Daniels is as follows Before another summer comes around we will not only have ships enough to carry million troops to France. but we will also have de. stroyers enough to see them safely there. The United States navy has a personnel of three hundred thou sand men and will soon have four hundred thousand. At the recruiting depots throughout the country, patri otic men and boys are eniisting so fast we have to request that they stay at home a few days until We can build ships to accommodate them. At the rate the work on these vessels is progressing now though, they shall not have such a very long wait"

DIRECTORS TO
 BE PLACED AT
 HEAD OF ROADS

WASHINGTON. D. C., May 21.- An announcement made today by W. G. McAdoo. director of railways, states that every railway president in the United States will be relieved from his duties. In their places will be appointed federal directors who will be responsible only to the railway administration for their ac- tions.
 It is also said that in many cases the present heads of the railways will be retained as directors. This will be in those cases where the president of the road has shown that he has earnestly endeavored to aid the government in its adminis- traitor of the railways. In some cases 1t has been evident that the railway presidents have shown a great reluctance in conforming to the orders issued by the director of railways. On very few of the railroads these orders have been dis regarded altogether. In these cases the present president of the railway will be entirely relieved from his position and director appointed in his place.
