ALIEN ENEMIES
RETURNED HOME
ON OWN SHIP
Witness Change Since Dream
of World Domain for
Germany.

New York, Sept. 26.-Hundreds
of German sailors, most of whom
had been identified with COM
merce raiding exploits during the
war marched silently aboard the
steamer Poccahontas to return in do
feat to their native land. Even the
ship they sailed on was poignant
reminder of the overwhelming dis
aster that had befallen their country,
for the Pochontas, once the Princess
Irene was one of the great ships
with which Germany in peace had
bid for the supremacy of the sea.
There were 1871 German men,
women and children who boarded
the Poccahontas, the great majority
sailors and there was scarcely a
place that their eyes could rest
which did not bear witness to the
change which had come over the
fortunes of themselves and their
empire since they first landed on the
American shores.
Above them the Stars and Stripes
floated over the tremendous bulks
of the former Vaterland, Impera-
tor and Kronprinzessin, Cecilie,
ships which flew the flag of imperial
Germany before it embarked on
its dream of world dominion. To
their right the standard of democ-
racy was hoisted over the great
piers of the North German Lloyd
and Hamburg-American line and as
they embarked they were shep-
herded to their quarters by 200
American marines.
Among the deported were mem-
bers of the crew of the commerce
raider Moewe. They marched 81
lently on board under the command
of their captain, Hans Berg. Close
behind them came members of the
crew of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
which ended its career by sinking
the American ship William P.
Frye and then took refuge in. New

The president acted under orders
from his physician, DR. Cary T.
Grayscn, who said in formal state
ment late this afternoon that Mr..

exhxrstion,' and that while his con-
dition was not alarming a consider
able period of rest would be neces-
sary for his recovery"
After a few days at the capital,

upon him, the president decided to

ment by Secretary Tumulty and
later the secretary issued another
statement announcing cancellation
of the presidents other engagements
for the immediate future.
Although Mr.. Wilson's illness did
not take an aggressive turn until
last night, he has not been entirely

Both Sides Wait.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 26.-The close
of the fifth-day of the steel workers
strike found each side in the great
industrial struggle apparently wait
ing for the other to make the next
move. There were no notable
changes discernible and from infor-
nation CLEANED from the headquar-
ters of the strikers national com
mittee and from the Offices of the
larger steel companies in the Pitts
burgh district no material devel-
opments are expected before Mon
day.
Representatives OF several large
corporations, including the Carnegie
Steel company, let it be known, that
they look for big influx of men
when the whistles blow Monday
morning. 1t was contended by them
that the strikers would then have
had week of idleness and finding
that large nunlberaof men are still
at work and their own funds getting
low, thousands would change their
minds and seek their old jobs.

and company officials, it was also

to returning to work.

RAILROAD MEN
OUT ON STRIKE
Government Will Call Out
Troops and Fight to
Bitter F inish.

London, Sept. 26.-(By The As
sociated Press.)-The government
tonight is marshaling all the facili-
ties at its disposal with the avowed
intention of fighting to a bitter
finish a countrywide strike Of rail-
way men, which was due to begin at
midnight, as result of the refusal
of the National Union of Railway
Men to accept the government's
proposals regarding the fixing of a
permanent rate of wages as a basis
for further negotiations.
From an authoritative source it
was learned tonight that the gov
ernment intends to use its every
resource, even to the employment of
armed forces if necessary, to COM
bat what was characterized as a
"heinous offense" and "a strike
against the life of the communi
ty."
Use Motor Cars.
Already preparations have been
made to continue the transport of
necessities by motor cars; the war
office has suspended all leaves OF
absence and further rehabilitation
of the military forces and the food
minister has revived virtually all the
war measures regarding the ration
ing of food.
The Manchester railway is said to
be strongly opposed to the move
ment, while majority of the men at
Crewe, the great railway junction
southeast of Liverpool, also are re-
ported to be averse to striking.
: On the other hand, it is reported
that in many of the big centers, such
as Birmingham, Derby, York and
Portsmouth, the men quit at mid
night.
The platforms at several provin-
cial stations were thronged at mid
night with intended passengers, who
had the prospect of spending the
night there guarding their baggage.

were abandoned.
In South Wales the men are said
to have struck in a body, including
