MARINE STRIKE
 SITUATION IS
 MORE SERIOUS
Break Off NegOtia- tiOns, and Both Sides Are
 Stubborn.

New York, July 21.-With no sign in sight of settlement of the ma rine workers strike which has crip- pied coastwise trade, the situation became more acute today when the marine engineers definitely broke off negotiations with the United States shipping board and the Ameri- can Steamship association. They aligned themselves with the firemen, oilers, cooks, water tenders and others who have been on strike for more than two weeks and both sides reiter- ated their determination not to yield.
 The possibility of an extension of the strike to involve the railroads ap- peared today when the firemen, oil CTS and tenders, on two tugs of the New York, Ontario and Western rail- road walked out.
 The cosmopolitan character of the strikers was emphasized again to- day when their leaders began the or ganization into locals of the negroes, both here and at Norfolk, Va, Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese numbers of the leaders are Scandina- number of the leaders are Scandina- vians.
 The American Steamship associa- tion unanimously decided at meet ing late today to have no further ne gotiations with the strikers and to make no more concessions,

Washington, July 21.--According to information here, the myterious prisoners who landed from the Agamemnon at New York today un- der heavy guard formerly were Ger man officers of high rank, occupying position of great responsibility under Won Hindenburg
 Before the inauguration of the American offensives, in 1918, opera tives of the American military in- telligence corps prevailed upon them through inducements which have not been divulged, to deliver plans of the German general staff, covering the proposed movements on the western front, probable lines of retreat, points at which stands would be made and other detailed information of great value.
 With these plans before him, Gen. eral Pershine was able to lay out his campaign with great freedom and it is believed that as result was able to cut the cost of the American ad- vance practically in half.
 The German officers later surren- QeTcu CHcInScIVcS CO CiIc <AHICAlGail forces.

Utmost precautions were taken even within the allied lines to protect the informers but as officials believed that as long as they were kept in France. their lives would he in danger. orders were given for their transfer to this country.
 Preparations for the moving of the prisoners were kept close secret and it was only though the carelessnass of some clerk that they were included in the roster of the Agamemnon when she left France.
 The two German prisoners landed here today by the transnort Agam- emnon, were listed on the steamer roster as Alfred Scholz and Alvin Grothe, it was learned here tonight. Scholz is said to have been German infantry officer who was made pri- soner near St Michiel September ?, 1918, and Grothe an aviator who was captured in the Argone region on September IS.
