Captain Of Steamship
Which Fired First Gun
for u. S. in War Dies

New York, Jan. Capt. Emery
Rice, born in Boston 40 years ago,
who commanded the Mongolia, the
first American steamship to sink a
German submarine and who made Al
voyages across the Atlantic during
the war, died today at the New York
navy yard hospital of pneumonia
following influenza. He was ill only
a week.
1t was on April 10, 1917, a few
days after the United States entered
the war, that the Mongolia's naval
gunners, who sighted in British wa
tiers submarine about to attack the
great steamship, shattered its peri
scope and sank it.
As Quartermaster on the scout
ship Harvard during the Spanish
American war, Captain Rice wig
wagged from the bridge of that YES
sci the signal which brought Rear
Admiral Sampson at full speed to
attack Admiral Cervera's squadron.
Later he was decorated by the en-
peror of Japan for rescuing the crew
of five from an overturned sampan
in the Yellow sea at risk to his
own vessel.

Liberty Bonds Slump
Partly Due to Sales by
Income Tax Dodgers

New York, Jan. A. Charging
'big cross order" sales Of Liberty
bonds by income tax dodgers, trans
actions in one day exceeding $40,-
100000. Assistant District Attorney
Brogan, in a report to the county
district attorney today, urged the
need OF an inquiry by the stock ex-
change to ascertain the names OF
wealthy men suspected OF thus caus-
ing the decline in the price of the
war securities sharply below par.
1T is generally conceded" said
Mr.. Brogan's report, that the low
prices obtaining for Liberty bonds
at the end of the income tax year
was seized upon by great many
to sell their bonds with a view OF
establishing losses to offset profits
which would have to be shown in
making their income tax reports"
Small investors, he said have been
persuaded to exchange their Liberty
bonds for worthless stocks. In one
western state, he said, 100000 900
worth of Liberty bonds OF the first
and second issues had been wheedled
from gullible investors and it would
be fair estimate to place the
amount thus obtained by swindlers
at $250,000,000 to $500,000,000.

Mr.. Sulzer said Indians living in

it counted their votes for Wicker

to liberate the children OF the future

AS to the proposal for league OF

such a scheme as the holy alliance
suggested by some OF its critics.
1T is not proposed out of cabinets
Ct absolute minister's" he said, "but
is RATHER the passionate demand of

statecraft, but who know a very
great deal about the suffering and
sacrifice which war entails"
America Given New Vison"
The war had given America a new
vision of its own strength and power,
Mr.. Baker declared.
1t was the spirit of freedom and
right that animated the American
army in France, the war secretary
declared. "Hindenburg lines crump-
led like houses of cards in the face
of that spirit" he said, and after the
taking of St. Mihiel salient in Sep

plete than unconditional was accept
ed by Germany at the point of the
sword when the armistice of Novem-
Der II, was signed"
Mr.. Baker made only one refer
ence touching subjects of criticisms
of the War department recently
voiced in the senate. Although there
is much talk of the United States
having to rely upon Great Britain
and France to supply its armies with
heavy artillery" he said, "neverthe-
less, American industry did, in fact,
supply Great Britain and France
practically an equivalent to that
made available to us from them.
American industry was able to meet
the demands made upon it, and on
the day the armistice was signed
our army abroad was thoroughly
equipped with American made rifles
and machine guns, some heavy ar
tillery had been shipped and the
stream of supply of all types of at
tillery, ammunition and equipment
was beginning at such a rate as
would have supplied our own vast
forces entirely from our own sources
within a few months"

been completely avoided by a clear
, understanding of the view of the
! national war labor board in this re-
gard"
Better Understanding Now.
Jerry Burnett, national organizer
for the street railway employees, gave
out the following statement which
was conquered in by members of the
executive committee of the local
street railway employees union:
"We really did not get all that we
expected to get at this time, but the
war board has instructed the COM
pany to receive our committees, and
since we have the understanding
that was reached at this hearing on
the I'd and Sd, I feel there is a
much better understanding between
the company and their employees
than has ever existed before, and
through this better understanding
feel that the employees through their
committees will be able to adjust
the several grievances that they have
between them and their employing
company.
while it is true the employees in
the contract presented to the COM
pany sometime ago asked for a
closed shop agreement, this award
does not give them a closed shop,
but gives them an open shop and
the right to bargain collectively
through their chosen committees OF
their organization.
Looks For Adjustment.
1T is recognized in the award
that the employees have a go per
cent organization, and I am proud
to say that we have 100 per cent
organization on the east side of
the river, and 95 per cent organi-
cation OH this side of the river.
With the understanding that
feel has been reached between the
company and their employees the
grievances that we have and griev-
ances that will arise from time to
time can be amicably adjusted.
THE war board award can be
opened February by either party
to adjust any and all qustions that
are not settled between the employees
and the company before that time.
1t was made very clear that all
male employees of the company
should get AZ IL cents per hour as
a minimum wage, that is, other than
platform employees, who are re-
ceiving since July u, al cents per
hour for the first three months, 43
for the next nine months and Is
cents thereafter"
Local Union Controls.
Mr.. Burnett also said: "The COM
pany need not fear any interference
from the international union, as only
on appeal from the local division
will any man be sent here and then
only to. avoid trouble or as a peace
maker"
When pressed further for a state
ment of what the next steps taken
by the men would be, he added;
THE committee win negotiate with
the company during the next few
weeks in adjusting complaints and
grievances, and all indications point
to their arriving at Adhesion that
will eliminate many of the griev-
ances complained of. Points upon
which no decision can be arrived at
will be referred to the examiners"

New Offensive Baked \.
By Signing Of Armistice

These divisions contained approx
mately 10000 men. He had only
1000 guns.
This allied attack, the Excelsior
continues, would have carried the
war into annexed Lorraine and into
Rhenish Prussia, threatening to cut
off the German army in Belgium
and in the Ardennes from its bases.
German general headquarters,
realizing that the divisions on other
sections were exhausted and that
its forces were demoralized and
worn out, averted catastrophe by
pleading for an armistice. The Ex-
celsior concludes:
The success of the offensive was
assured, but it could not have made
victory more complete than it al
ready was because Germany accept
ed all our conditions. Marshal Foch
deemed it useless to cause further
shedding of blood and consented to
stop hostilties although Germany
was then in desperate plight"

Fire Island, N. Y, Jan. 4.-Weary
sailors manning the stranded trans
port Northern Pacific, who shared
with coast guards and the crews of
rescue ships in the unparalleled task
of sending safely ashore through the
breakers $500 we'll and wounded
soldiers, climbed into their ham
mocks tonight free, for the first time
in four. days, of anxiety over the
safety of the army veterans home
ward bound from Europe. The last
of the troops aboard went over the

Twenty soldiers, so seriously
wounded that it was necessary to
carry them on stretchers down a
stairway swung over the transports
side, made up the final contingent
OF passengers to leave the vessel.
As the submarine chaser which car
ried them headed for the hospital
ship Solace sailor on the Northern
Pacific signal platform wigwagged
to shore an officers message that
none but navy men remained aboard
the liner.
Rescue Unparalleled.
Thus, at $50 o'clock, after three
days of cold, wet work in a biting
wind that veered only few degrees
from the northerly quarter, the sail
ors and officers wrote 'hnis" to a
story of off-shore rescue work con-
sidered without parallel in the an
nails of American shipping-the re-
moval without loss OF life of $500
persons, nearly 800 of them badly
wounded, from a stranded vessel.
