London. - Thousands Of persons
waited for hours to get a closeup
peep at the Psi, a British antisubma-
rine mystery" ship, which was moor
ed off Queen Victoria embankment for
a two days public inspection at the
close of the official peace celebrations.
The Psi was the first of the 'hush"
craft the public was permitted to see
at close range.
twas only ten yards from the en-
bankment to the quaint looking U-boat
fighter, but the intervening distance
had to be made in small boats. These
each carried eight passengers, and the
fare was one shilling, so the water
mems pockets soon were bullying, but
there was no complaint about "proft-
eering."
Doughboys Inspect Ship.
Among the curious who swarmed
over the vessel were a number of
American soldiers. Some of them
took a peculiar interest in the guides
explanations and comment on the
boats "trick" fttings-her geared
turbines, gadgets, depth-charge throw
ers and paravenes.
It recalled to them a night Of peril
through which they passed from South
ampton or Winchester across the SUBJ
marine and mine-infested English
channel, en- route to Havre or some
other French portland the war. That
night of fearful expectancy passed
safely, they had marvelled. at the eff
cheney of the conveying craft which
they knew had been off in the dark
ness somewhere, blowing through roll
ing breakers, eager for an encounter
with its frequent aftermath of "oil and
bubbles" from a vanquished undersea
boat.
But as these doughboy spectators
heard q member Of the crew Of the
"hush" ship say: "She does every
thing but loop-theloop," and saw 9TH
ers demonstrate parts of the ships
fighting equipment hitherto kept Sc
cret, they understood why they had
been so secure.
Neutrality-suspicious. Speed.
The "P-31" is PA feet long, with mar
row beam, %seven.foot draft and
equipped with Independent engines,
fore and aft, that can speed her
through heavy seas at % knots an
hour. Built high forward and low at
the stern, the vessel has somewhat
the appearance of a submarine-an ef-
feet that her designers intended.
"Fritz sometimes would think she
was. a sub and would open fire on
her-but when she slowed around in
her own length and got into action
Heine was sorry he had spoken" said
sailor who had been through eight
engagements on the fighter.

suIclDE-A-FELoNY LAW DIES
OF New York Statute Books After
Twenty Years-Two convic-
tjons In That Time.

New York.-The state law making
attempted suicide a felony has ex'
pired after it had been on the statute
books for more than twenty years and
resulted in but two convictions.
The law provides a penalty of not
more than two years Imprisonment,
and a fine not exceeding $1,000 fol
violators, but is said, by those who
succeeded in obtaining it's repeal to
have been no deterrent to those who
wished to hurry out of the world.
Police officials are said to have
favored the repeal on the ground that
convictions were almost impossible tc
secure, while often it was necessary
to detail a policeman to a hospital
for weeks to guard would-be suicide
prisoners.

annual haircut, shave and bath.
The police did the tonsorial act

strong man and put up a de-
termined struggle throughout
the performance. He went to
the police station with grizzly

almost to his waist. He came
away with a smooth face and
head and smelling like high
priced toilet water.
John got his first haircut,

JEWISH ANTI-SEMITISNI.

There Is one form of ngly.. serious
anti-Jewish prejudice that should be
mentioned with deep shame. 1t is the
prejudice of Jew against Jew. of Rus

one Jew who differs from another Jew.
This bitterness prevents our progress.

MEN REFUSED f'a
PRESIDENTS OFFER
Local Railroad Unions Now to Vote
On Question of Striking-Warned :,
of Seriousness of Strike.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-The com
mittee of 100 representing the railroad
shopmen, informed Director General
Hines yesterday that they could not ae-l
cept as a basis of settlement of their de-
mands the rates submitted to them Mon
day by President Wilson,
Results of the negotiations here nwere
communicated to the union locals through
out the country, with instructions that al
strike vote should be taken immediately
to determine whether the Presidents
proposals should be accepted
Director General Hines, according to a
letter sent to the locals, told the commit
tee that the proposition as presented by
the President was final and that there
would be no wage increases granted to
any other class of railroad employees, as
class, but in the event of unjust in
qualities, as between individuals, adjust
ments involving increase to equalize rates
of pay would be made where justified
The committee thereupon informed the
locals that the director general had been
advised that his proposition could not be
accepted as basis of settlement by
them and continued:
Practically every class of railroad en-
ptoAeS nave now submitted requests 10l
very substantial increases over existing
| rates of pay 1t is well that our members
| give very serious consideration to this fact
| if there is to be any additional general in
crease in the wages of railroad employees
the federal shop trades will receive the
| same consideration. Don't fail to give
| this statement careful thought and don't
| forget that if the federated shop trades
become involved in strike now, you
are striking alone to force an increase fol
the 100000 railroad employees.
/ In view of the foregoing facts, tn,
statements contained in the President
letter and the responsibility that mus
Il be assumed, if suspension of work il
to take place, your executive council ha
decided that it would fail in its dut,
were it to authorize a strike until tn
membership have had an opportunity t
decide their coarse of action on this prop
ostlon. 1t is not our intention to shirl
any of our responsibilities as executiv
officers and the wishes of a constitutions
majority Of the membership, expressed b
their vote as hereinafter directed, will b
carried out
