OCEAN REACHED IN DARK TIP GIVEN FROM INSIDE ff J U,r r 1 - f .1 ( r: f j vy; I Captain and Crew Give One last Cheer for America and Ameri cans on Reaching Entrance .1 to Chesapeake Bay. (Continued From First Pape. ) moving slowly close to her starboard side, Captain Hinsch, of the German war-bound steamer Neckar, who had charge of the clearing of the Deutsch land, shouted through a megaphone: "Who is that?" Salutes Are Ignored. Upon being advised that it was a newspaper boat, he shouted this infor mation to the Deutschland and then both vessels put on speed, moving ahead rapidly. Sailors on the Deutschland paid no attention to salutes from the news paper boat. They gazed at her silently for a while and then began putting on their blue uniform coats. The Deutschland was displaying red and green lights set flush on two sides of her conning tower. As she passed the newspaper boat she put out these lights. The Timmins then moved over to the port side of the channel, about 150 feet from the Deutschland. and they con tinued in these relative positions for a considerable distance down the bay. By this time the sun was setting over the watr, in which the Deutschland stood out clearly. Within a few min utes after the sun had set, clouds be gan to roll up from the horizon. Craft Runs In Dark. At a mile away it was difficult to eee either the crew, in their dark cloth ing, or the vessel, painted to match the color of the water. The Timmins car ried her regular running lights and for the next ten miles the Deutschland could be located only by her convoy. On these ten miles, however, the ves sels had a clear path and they might have burned all their lights without endangering themselves. Only one ves. eel, a tramp steamer, passed them, and the was far away. Her attempts to signal the Timmins met with no re sponse. As the Cape Henry lightshiD and the Virginia and Maryland pilot boats came into view of the Deutschland and her convoy they began to exchange blinker pignals rapidly, the submersible s white light in the top of her periscope show ing for the first time. When they were within two miles of the Cape Henry lighthouse the submarine had moved over well toward the shore line and her outlines seldom could be seen. Shore HuKSed Closely. Decreasing her speed, the Deutsch land hugged the shore line as closejy as was possible, while the Timmins passed out of the capes a short dl tance to determine whether the allied warships were there to block the sub marine's progress. In less than 15 min utes, or shortly before 9 o'clock, she signalled the Deutschland that she had a clear path, and the under-sea freighter quickly hastened down the channel and to sea. On her way the submarine signalled briefly to the Timmins with her peri scope light. The signalling completed, the light disappeared, and with it the Deutschland. The submarine and the Timmins were lost to the newspaper dispatch boat, the only vessel following them, during & storm in Lower Chesapeake Bay shortly 'before daylight today. From that time no vessels or lighthouses re ported sighting them. British Cruiser Hovers Near. Only one allied warship was seen off the capes today. It was a two-fun nelled cruiser, flying the British naval ensign. Passing vessels reported that there were two peculiar buoys near lier. This gave rise to some specula tion as to the possibility that a net had been flung- across the channel, but Pilots familiar with the waters did not believe such a method of preventing the egress of the Deutschland would, be The trip of the submarine and the convoying tug down Chesapeake Bay from Baltimore was started under ideal conditions. Not a cloud was in sight as the submersible increased her speed to 19 knots an hour soon after clearing Jbsaiumore narDor. The tug fell behind Immediately and by dark was 500 yards to the stern. Tug Works Hard to Keep Up. The tug apparently had great diffi culty in keeping up with the Deutsch land. Dark flames spurted from her funnels, showinz that the stokers were keeping all the steam possible in her boilers. Then the wind freshened and dark clouds began to roll in from the horiion. Soon the tug was pitching ana rolling in the choppy sea, her run ning lights dipping up and down and the spray flying back from her bow. The submarine ahead, & brilliant light shining from a lamp attached to the top of her periscope and green and red running lights hanging below on the conning tower, plowing steadily tnrougn tne seas on an even keel. Brilliant Lights Attract Xotice. Bay steamers passing up and down had their attention attracted to the submarine by the brilliance of her lights, especially that on the periscope, They cast rays of their searchlights on the submersible, looking her over from wm to stern. As each of the vessel recognized the submarine a salute of three whistle blasts was blown. The submarine answered each salute with ner own whistle. In the rays of the searchlights mem bers of the crew could be plainly seen wanting up and down the after deck. In the conning tower was Captain Paul Koenm. master of the vessel. At his side stood the pilot. Crew Soon Leaves Deck. boon before midnight the seas be came still heavier. Under the glare or searcniignts it was seen that wave: were breaking over the bow of the vessel and washing the entire forward part. Occasionally the conning towe and the light on the periscope would be enveloped in a shower of salt sprav. At 1:S0 this morning, while passing Solomon's Island, the last of the vessels with searchlights was passed. By tha time all the members of the crew ex cept two had disappeared from th deck. One of them was standing well forward, a lead-line for sounding in lils, hand, and the other was at the t-tern. Captain Koenig still was in the conning tower. Newspaper Yacbt Vexes.

The Tim mins fell behind more than once and the submarine had to slow down a trifle to wait for her. Those aboard the submarine and the tug apparently were worried by the presence of a newspaper yacht, a speedy craft, which kept up with the vessels without difficulty. The tug especially kept close watch on the yacht, and was quick to take up a posi tion between it and the submarine whenever the opportunity presented it self. 1 mi m nr. a r-ri r t i rx r-li rr Another press boat later found the i U I V U O C, AO I I UN lo rlL-CU Deutschland and followed her to the I capes. Instead of going to Baltimore, toward which she headed after leaving the Deutschland, the Timmins came in here tonight. "Well she's off and well on her way back to the old country," said Captain Hinsch. 'Just as she started out to sea," he said, "Captain Koenig and the crew of the Deutschland came on deck and gave three rousing cheers for 'America and the American people.' " Vessel Dives Early. 'The sea was rough and the spray was splashing high, but the hearty cheers of the men of the Deutschland rang clearly over the waves. Captain Koenig yelled something to me in farewell, but the submarine was pull ing out rapidly and -the distance be tween us was too great for mo to bear what he said. 'For about a mile the Deutschland plowed boldly through the billows of the Atlantic When about a mile out side the Capes we could see her lights slowly disappear as she submerged." The captain declared the submarine again will go through the English Channel. 'There is no chance that the British cruisers will find the Deutschland," he said. Confidence was expressed by the cap tain that the Bremen would soon make an American port. Captain Hinsch said that one United States destroyer was the only warship sighted by the Deutschland before she submerged. NEW YORK, Aug. 2. (Special.) That an international romance which attracted wide attention five years ago has come to an unhappy ending Is re vealed in the action for divorce brought by Mrs. John L. de Saulles. Mr. de Saulles, of Bethlehem, Pa., and New York, was at one time a famous Yale quarterback and was one of the most prominent men of the gridiron a decade or more ago. He was a warm friend of President Wilson, and soon after President Wilson's election Mr. de Saulles refused an offer of a diplo matic post, deciding to remain In the real estate business in ivew York, .n which vocation, he is still engaged. Five years ago he met Blanca Er- razuriz. daughter of a prominent and wealthy Chilean. She was one of the famous beauties of Valparaiso and was an heiress to "great wealth. Several prominent Chileans sought the hand of the Valparaiso belle, but Mr. de Saulles won and, following her to Paris, where her parents were, married her there five years ago. RAILROAD STRIKE GROWS (Continued From First Page.) the matter at this point, but without effect, in my Judgment, in bringing these contending factions together. Finally, arbitration may be discussed. and the break will come when the roads absolutely refuse to arbitrate the demands of the men and the men re fuse with equal force to admit into the arbitrations the contingent pro posals of the roads. No Ray of Light Seen. 'I must confess in this situation. after talking most earnestly with both parties to the controversy, that I see no ray of light nor any possibility of averting a serious catastrophe." In a message to the heads of the railroad brotherhoods,. Mr. Wheeler said he hoped he was wrong in his view of the gravity of the situation, but that "the public Interest Is a defi nite and tangible third Interest in the controversy and the public has a right to know whether any increase in cost of operation arising from an adjust ment of the differences between the brotherhoods and the railroatis is to be passed on for final payment by an increase in rates for transportation." In anticipation of a general con ference here on the question, the chamber has sent to all commercial bodies in the country copies of the letter to the President, with a request that each send a representative to such a meeting. CHAMBER ASKS ARBITRATION Reconsideration Is TJrged on Em ployes of Railways. In the adoption of a resolution last night bearing on the threatened strike of railroad employes throughout the united States, directors of the Cham ber of Commerce urged that the organi zations reconsider their stand in refuS' ing to submit their proposals of wages and working conditions to arbitration. The directors did not indicate a leaning toward either side in the con troversy, the main concern expressed being that a walkout of railroad work ers at this time would be productive of grave losses to persons not directly con' cerned in the situation, resulting in distress among countless residents of the country through the handicaps that must follow a tie up of transportation facilities. The resolution is as follows: . Whereas, Employes in train, engine and yard service on the railroads of the United States have made demands on the man agements for changres In their working cbedulea. which demands hav been de clined, but witli an offer by the manage ments to arbitrate, the employes have re fused to arbitrate and are now voting to determine whether or not to authorize the calling of a general strike. The railroads are public servants and their operation is essential to the public welfare. A general strike, with all the harshlpa, waste, suffer ing; and loss that would follow from de moralization of the service, is at once se rious to contemplate and Is intolerable. The principles of arbitration are recognized and approved by ail civilized nations and peoples and arbitration is regarded the moat effective method for securing fair, peaceful and equitable, adjustments to all concerned. ith no attempt to express judgment on the merits of the controversy and for the single purpose or sate guarding the general public, the employes and the railroads from the widespread, and intense distress inevitably attending a general sus pension of transportation service, we do hereby Resolve, That it Is our earnest request and sollci'.-jUe that the refusal of the em ployes to ajc- le to th offer of the man agements .o aro,t!e be reconiddered and that. In reread for the public welfare. they submit to arbitration. Such a cenrse will preserve to the general public unin terrupted transpo'ta'-iou service; to the em ployes and menager.'ents tranquil and mu tual! v benexicitl relations, and will accom plish the desired remits without the many hardships an! eavrif'ce a general strike would, entail.

He maintains that Gillies tried to abandon him from tha first, and finally left him on the train when Roberts was asleep. JUNIORS OPPOSE CHANGE Young Naval Officers Prefer Pro motion by Seniority Rule. Dan JC O'Connell was released from jail last night after a Coroner's Jury exonerated him from blame in the death of Adheld E. Otto. Mr. Otto was burned to death last Monday night by falling in a tank of boiling water after Air. O'Connell had slapped him during a quarrel in the Union Meat Company's glue plant in North Portland.
