DROWN In HUDSON
Will RETURNING TO
BATTLESHIP NEVADA

to Have Collided With
Something.

New York, April 2S.-Thirteen sail
ors returning in a navy launch to the
battleship Nevada were reported by
the police to have been drowned
when the launch sank in the Hudson
river off 13Sth street early today.
The police said that in the absence
of an official statement by the naval
authorities they based their report on
information from persons who said
they witnessed the sinking and heard
the cries of drowning sailors. These
witnesses declared the launch appar-
emily collided with something just
before reaching the Nevada and they
had a clear view of what was taking
place because of the navy search
lights playing on the scene.
There were fourteen persons in the
launch, one being rescued, according
to police reports.
Sailors from the battleship Mis-
sissippi said the launch struck a sub
merged log. that they rescued one
man and that a crew from the Ne
vada rescued another. Four men
were reported saved by other crews.
It was learned the launch was from
the destroyer Bell.
Navy officials promised to issue a
statement as soon as an inquiry had
been completed. Unofficially IL was
declared eight men were missing.
Michael Marshall, a railroad brake
man. who put out in small boat
from shore hoping to Affect rescues,
said he was told by a navy officer
that from 25 to so sailors were in
the launch and that all except two
had been saved.

Seeks Presidents Approval of
Decreasing Departments
RESPONSIBILITIES.
EFFECT RETURN BY MAY 10

Washington, April 2S.--Presdent
Wilson has been asked by Postmas-
ter General Burleson to approve the
immediate return of American cable
lines to their private owners.
In announcing his action today, the
postmaster general said he hoped re-
storation of the properties could be
effected by May 10.
Defends Wire System.
Postmaster General Burleson, in a
statement last night, defended his ad-
ministration of the post office de-
partment and his policy in operating
government controlled telephone and
telegraph systems against charges
made yesterday by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
OF Labor, that the postmaster-gen-
eral was carrying out IAN archaic,
autocratic policy" in the conduct OF
the Postal Telegraph company and
the telephone service and was COM
pletely out of sympathy with the
trend of American thought" Mr..
Burleson, in his statement, continued
his criticism Of what he termed Ger
tain selfish publishers"
The postmaster-general said that
the value and Importance of the serv-
Ice rendered by Mr.. Samuel Gompers
during the recent war was surpassed
by few men in America and that the
labor official lis entitled to our CRATE
full appreciation for the service. but
this does not imply that there should
be an acceptance of his views on all
other issues"
Statement Follows.
The following statement was is
sued:
"The postmaster general has rec
commended to the president that the
government return the cable lines to
their respective owners. This action
is made possible by the fact that the
congestion resulting from war condi-
tions has largely passed. The enemy
commercial blacklist has been abol-
ished and the tremendous volume of
government cable messages from and
to the war trade board has ceased.
The bar to commercial code messages
has been removed, thus materially
lessening the cable loads. The use
of the cables include the peace con-
ference have been greatly dimin-
ished.
"The postmaster general hopes that
the return Of the cables may be eff
fectiye not lster than May TO-"

statement fell like bombshell on the
French people. Although It was
known that discussion of 1taly's de-
mands by the Big -Four had not al
ways run smoothly few people i'm
agined the incident would become Sc
serious. ~
Bitter Towards Wilson
Opinion on the possible breaking
up of the conference is divided here.
Some French newspapers incline to
Italy's side and are bitter against
President Wilson for making such
statement when there was hope
that matters might be righted, thanks
to Italy's conciliatory attitude" The
fact that the rupture will cause
pleasure in Germany is eagerly
seized upon by opponents of Mr.. Will
sons fourteen points and his League
of Nations doctrine.
Part of the French press stands
out conspiciously in praising Presi-
dent Wilson and approving his at

paper speaking of Mr.. Wilson as

In the Echo de Paris, Pertinax one
of the severest critics Of the league
of nations, blames President Wilson,
saying.
Dilemma Of the Allies.
president Wilson has just accom-
plished an act which threatens all
our alliances. He has thrown at the
heads Of our Italian friends an en-
cylcal which, invoking the league
of nations, is the most premptory re-
fusal to all of 1taly's revindicatlons.
He is precise; he does not speak in
general terms. We cannoe forgee that
prematurely, Of his own authority,

In Mr.. Wilson's proclamation the
Matin sees an attempt to appeal to
the Italian people against their own
government and points to the per-
sonal initiative he has taken.
