Passengers Are Vexed
By Many Subway Delays
Trouble Starts At 6:35 in Morn
ing and Occurs at Inter-
walls During Day

Subway travel yesterday was a
series of starts and stops, with alto
gether too many stops to suit most
patrons. Trouble began at 6:53 in the
morning. The last delay came during
the rush hour last evening. Each
time there was complaint from mas
sengers, owing to the failure of the
ticket sellers or platform guards to
notify the public that the subway was
blocked.
Early in the morning a Lexington
Avenue train jumped the track at
the end Of the platform at the At-
lantlc Avenue station, Brooklyn. One
car turned sideways, and blocked both
East Side and West Side trains. II re-
quired nearly an hour to strairhten
the car out
Traffic scarcely had been resumed
when there was trouble with circuit
breakers in Brooklyn. This occasioned
another delay Of twenty minutes.
During the rush hour last night p
Jerome Avenue train came to sud
den stop just after leaving the Hoyt
Street station, Brooklyn. Traffic was
! completely blocked and each station
platform was thronged with people.

German Officers
Here Boast They
Beat the British
Zeebrugge Claimed as Teu.
ton Triumph: Jutland
Also Called a Victory
By Naval Men ON Liner

There still are some German officers
lett who believe it was Germany who
won the war. Apparently they are
among the six German naval men who
were on board the former Hamburg
American steamship Cape Finistere
now transport in the service of the
United States. when she landed in Ho-
boken yesterday from Brest. On board
were 1862 officers and men OF the
American army. Twenty-six officers
and 585 men were from the 127th In
fantry; SIX officers and twenty-one
men from the 64th Infantry Brigade
headquarters, eight officers and ITS
men from the lO9th Base HOSPITAL
seven officers of the 77th Division
thirty-fve casual officers and IT'S
nurses.
Captain Emil Pohlman was in COM
mand Of the German contingent. He
formerly was on the German raider
Moewe. He boasted that the ship had
sunk forty-three Allied vessels. He
also was on German auxiliary cruis-
er that met the British in their raid or
Zeebrugge mole. Captain Pohlman ex-
hiblted iron crosses which he said he
won in that engagement and showed
photographs of some Of the victims OF
the Moewe as they were sunk by the
raider.
Second Lieutenant Nieghar, another
German officer, said he was on the
Schleswig Holstein in the battle OF Jut-
land and was wounded. According to
him the battle was German victory.
Engineer Alweys Borgmeyer said
Zeebrugge was a German triumph, as
they lost only eight men, while the
British lost 675 dead and 18 prisoners
He boasted of participating in raids on
the British coast.

Rabbis i'm Annual
Convention Plan
Relief for Poland
Suffering of Children Is
Described in Report; Del
cgates From All Over the
U. S. and Canada Here

More than 100 rabbis. rcpresentine
orthodoX Jewry in the United States
and Canada, are in three-day con.
ference, which began yesterday at the
broadway Central Hotel, Third Street
and Broadway.
Rabbi 5. Margolis Of the Eiehty-fifth
Street Synagogue presided at the open
ing OF the sixteenth annua, convention
OF the Union of Orthodox Rabbis.
ms year, as previously, the meeting
IS being held in Trotzky's restaurant
on the second floor of the hotel
The conference opened with prayer
tor the government of the United
States and for the success of the Vic
tory loan A resolution was sent to
President Wilson protesting against
the pogroms in Poland
Rabbi Margois said that the massa-
cres of Jews in Crimea, Pinsk, Rou-
mania and Poland had caused intense
suffering among children, which could
be relieved, in measure. bv shipment
OF food. He said the union would CO.
operate with the Central Relief Com
mlttec, at 81 Cham bers Street, of which
Harry Fischel is treasurer. The union
plans to raise funds for the aid of
Jewish schools and seminaries in
Europe. 1t will. also assist the Zionist
movement for the restoration of Pales-
tine.
Conditions in Poland were described
to the conference in report lust re-
ceived from Dr.. Bogen, from which
this item is taken:
In an orphan asylum in Pinsk or
dlnarlly intended to house sixty chill
dren, there were three hundred little
ones, representing every stage OF
lnanltlon. Children that looked old.
though they were not, constituted more
than two hundred in that crowd. All
OF them represented instances where
parents had been killed at the front
or IN pogroms, or had starved to death
by the wayside. More of these little
ones were being brought in, day in
and day out. Not one of them had had a
bit of bread to eat for some days, and
no clothing 70 speak of. There was no
neat IN the building"
Lack of food and clothing is con-
trlbuting to an appalling spread of
tuberculosis and typhus in Poland,
winch is stimulating Jewish people
here to hurry relief.
The conference is being conducted
entirely in Yiddish and Hebrew. Busi-
ness sessions will be held this morn
Ing and afternoon. Officers will be
elected tomorrow.

for Corean freedom. Then they sepa
rated into groups and went to the
palace and the legations, where thew
read their declaration of independence
and explained their situation. Thew
did not resist arrest, as thev expected
it. Old XII Moksa from here was de-
layed. He took a rickshaw from the sta

who he was, and he said he was sorrv
