"WASHINGTON; Aug. 1. Details of
the attacks by German submarines
upon the first expedition of American
troops sent to France became known
for the first time today when the re
port of ' Rear-Admiral Gleaves, commanding-
the naval convoy, was made
public by Secretary Daniels. The first
attack was made on Admiral Gleaves'
flagship, leading- the first group of the
expeditionary force and at least two.
submarines were Indicated, to be en
gaged. The Admiral stated the belief that
the U-boats had knowledge of the com
ing: of the troop ships and were on
watch for them.
The second group of transports also
was attacked by two submarines, one
of which apparently was sent to the
bottom by a bomb dropped from an
American destroyer.
Third Attack In Doubt
There is disagreement among: of
ficers of the third group as to whether
they were attacked, but much evidence
Is presented to indicate that they also
were assailed.
Secretary Daniels made the report
public with certain military informa
tion deleted, after he had sent an tin
censored copy in confidence to the Sen
ate naval committee, members of which
recently inquired as to the truth of
charges in the Senate that the official
account of the attack published on
July 3 was greatly exaggerated.
Mayo Forward. Report.
The report was prepared by Admiral
Gleaves while at a French port and
was submitted to Admiral Mayo, In
command of the Atlantic fleet, who
forwarded it to the Navy Department.
Its full text as made public follows :
"1. About 10:15 P. M. June 23 the
first group of the expeditionary force,
of which the flagship was the leader,
encountered the enemy's submarine
In latitude N. longitude W.
"2. At the time it was extremely
dark, the sea was unusually phosphor
escent, a fresh breeze was blowing
Irom the northwest which broke the
sea into white caps. The condition was
ideal for a submarine attack.
"3. (Paragraph gives the formation
and names of the vessels, together with
the speed they were making and meth
od of proceeding, nothing else. It is
therefor omitted for obvious reasons.
? White Streak Seen.
Shortly before the attack the
helm of the flagship had Jammed and
the ship took rank sheer to starboard;
the whistle was blown to indicate this
sheer. In a few minutes the ship was
brought back to the course. At this
time the officer of the deck and others
on the bridge saw a white streak about
50 yards ahead of the ship, crossing
from starboard to port at right angles
to our course. The ship was immedi
ately run off 90 degrees to starboard
at full speed.
"I was asleep in the charthouse at
the time. I heard the officer of the
deck say, 'Report to the Admiral a tor
pedo has crossed our bow." General
alarm was sounded, torpedo crews be
ing already at their guns. "When I
reached, the bridge the A and one of
the transports astern had opened fire,
the former's shell fitted with tracers.
Other vessels of the convoy turned to
the right and left, in accordance with
Instructions. B crossed our bow at
full speed and turned towards the left
column in the direction of the firing.
One Ship Has Close Call.
5. At first it was thought on board
the flagship that the wake was that
of a torpedo, but from subsequent re
ports from other ships, and in the
opinion of Lieutenant X., who was on
the bridge, it was probably the wake
of the submarine boat itself. Two
torpedoes passed close to the A, from
port to starboard, one about 30 yards
ahead of the ship and the other under
her stern as the ship was turning to
the northward. Captain Y. reports the
incident thus:
" 'Steaming in formation on zigzag
courses, with base course 75 degrees
psc. standard speed. At 10:25 sighted
wake of a torpedo directly across our
bow about 30 yards ahead of the ship.
Changed course SO degrees to left and
went to torpedo defense stations. Fired
two one-pound shots and one five
pound shot from port battery in alarm.
In addition to six blasts from sirens.
Passed through two wakes, one being
that from the IT. N. S. C. in turning
to northward, the other believed to
have been from the passing submarine.
A second torpedo wake was reported at
about 10:35 from after lookouts. After
steaming to various courses at full
speed resumed course 89 degrees psc
t 11:10 for rendezvous; at 12 set
cours 56 degrees psc."

Psychologist Tells Oregon Students
Fear, Anger, Pity and Love
Rule Human Nature.
EUGENE, ' Or., Aug. 1. (Special.)
Too much love is not good. Dr. G. Sta
ley Kali, noted psychologist and pro
fessor of the Clark University, told
the students at the University of Ore
gon Summer School to-day.
Fear, anger, pity and love, the speak
er declared the ruling emotions In hu
man nature. Love he called the mas
ter passion, for he said it dominates
human behavior more than any other
passion. He attributed a great ma
jority of nervous and mental troubles
to some abnormality In the love Ufa.
"Anger well directed is a tremendous
source of power," said the speaker,
"for It enables the individual to draw
upon ancestral sources of energy."
He opposed the idea that absence
of anger is a sign of finer qualities,
and declared that righteous anger is
a great power for good and is based
in a deep-rooted sense of Justice.
"Where there is no fear, wisdom
languishes," he said.

BUTTE, Mont., Aug. 1. National
Guardsmen are pouring into this city
tonight in anticipation of disturbances
which may arise from the lynching of
Frank Little, I. W. W. leader, early this
morning. More, than . 300 soldiers are
camped in the outskirts of the city, an
unstated n imber arriving late tonight
and mors are reported to be cn the
way here.
Feeling among the members of the
radical labor organization is running
high and expressed in bitter language
wherever they gather. The whole city
is tense, awaiting developments. Fear
is expressed that there may be street
rioting such as accompanied the labor
troubles here three years iigo.
Authorities Seek Vigilantes.
"Every effort possible will .be made
to apprehend the perpetrators of the
outrage," declared layor W. II. Ma
loney tonight. "I have instructed J. J.
Murphy. Chief of Police, to put every
available man on the case. Sheriff
John K. O'Rourke assures me that he
and his men are doing all that they
can to run down the murderers.
"We are watching the L W. W. close
ly in an effort to prevent possible dis
turbances." Strike leaders have received numer
ous warnings, W. G. Sullivan, legal ad
viser to the miners, said . tonight, but
it was believed that nothing worse than
deportation was being planned. "The
idea- of a lynching did not occur to any
of us," he declared.
Strikers Promise No Rioting.
"Little had nothing to do with the
local strike, and why he should have
been chosen. I cannot understand. We
are in possession of complete informa
tion regarding the identity of the
lynchers and everything concerning
them. The lynchers themselves were
only tools of a desperate and ruthless
machine, and while they are relying
upon the strength ' of their alibis, we
will be able to cope with the situation
with something Just a little more
formidable and efficient."
Mr. Sullivan asserted that there will

From Portland to El Faso, Tex.,

East to Ogden, L'tuli.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1. Federal
mediation of differences over which
8500 employes of the Pacific division of
the Southern Pacific Company threaten
to strike Saturday night was suggested
today in a letter sent by W. R. Scott,
vice-president and general manager of
the road, to members of the co-operative
board of the general oommittees
of the four unions involved.
Scott's letter was sent in answer to
a communication from members of the
co-operative board. This latter docu
ment declared that "having exhausted
all resources to adjust amicably these
matters, without avail, the co-operative
board, representing men employed in
engine, train, yard and hostler service,
does hereby give notice that the men
it represents will withdraw from the
service in a body and go on strike as
authorized by their vote on the ques
tion as issue at 6 P. M. Saturday unless
the committee's contentions are granted
before that time."
Decisions Are Rejected.
Differences between the company and
employes, according to the correspond
ence, grew out of settlement of griev
ances of various employes against the
company. The decisions of railroad of
ficials in 35 of the engineers and fire
men's cases were accepted by the union
and S2 were rejected.
One decision in conductors' cases was
accepted and ten rejected. Union offi
cials . wrote- .that lft practically every
case listed as rejected the decisions
were repetitions of former unsatisfac
tory replies and were contrary to
understandings reached between the
two parties in recent conferences. Mr.
Scott's reply to this document called
upon the patriotism of the men and
pointed out the war time importance of
railroad transportation at present
Appeal Made to Patriotism.
"The present is not the tlmo in which
to enforce demands by strike," it read.
"Patriotism should be the . dominant
idea in the minds of every living man
in this country at this time. We are
dally moving large amounts of freight
and men for the Government. The com-p.-
ny desires to be more than fair with
its employes and has no desire or in
clination to withhold from them any
compensation or emolument covered by
a liberal interpretation of their sched
ules. Hope you will realize that an
amicable avoidance of this strike is a
patriotic duty."
Mr. Scott proposed that points in dif
ference be mediated by the Govern
ment under uie Newlands act, or be left
to a board of five members, two to be
selected by the company, two by the
labor organizations and a fifth to be
selected by these four. If they are un
able to agree the fifth member is to
be appointed by the Federal Judge of
this diclrict.
Portland to RI Paso Affected.
The strike, !f called, will affect en
gineers, firemen, conductors and brake
men on the Southern Pacific lines from
El Paso, Tex., to Portland. Or., and on
the Central Pacific line from San Fran
cisco to Ogden, Utah. Negotiations for
the men are being conducted by M. K.
Montgomery, assistant grr id chief, and
L. L. Sanford, general chairman of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers;
A. Phillips, vice-president, and O. W.
Kara, general chairman of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En
ginemen; T. A. Gregg, vice-president,
and S. Veatch, general chairman of the
Order of Railway Conductors, and R.
Mclntyre. vice-president, and F. L. Mc
Dowell, general chairman of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
At a late hour tonight Mr. Scott had
received no reply to his suggestion of
Federal mediation.
