MYSTERIOUS CRUISER ANCHORED NEAR NIGER It Flew Dutch Flag but Brit ish Believe It Gave In formation to Germans. (United Press Leased Wlre.l London, Sov. 12. England was fairly frantic with rage today at the torpedoing by a German submarine of the British gunboat Niger less than a mile off the port of Deal and only eight miles from the great naval base of Dover. Something like 100 vessels were an chored In the Downs in the Niger's vicinity and the gunboat was sunk in full view of crowds of people on shore. The explosion when the vessel was struck brought thousands with a rush to tha pier whence, to their horror, they first saw a thick puff of smoke arise from the stricken craft, and then watched the boat list heavily, set tle down by the bow and with Its stern rising higher and higher above the water, until 20 minutes after the tor pedo was fired, it disappeared be neath the waves. Galleys had put out from shore in the meantime and the members of the Niger's crew -were rescued with the exception of three, who were still miss ing today and undoubtedly perished. Four others were injured by the ex plosion, two seriously. Lieutenant Commander Mulr, the gunboat's com mander, was the last-man saved, jump ing from his bridge into the sea aa the vessel went down. Mulr was authority for the state ment that the oncoming torpedo was seen from the Niger's deck but the attack was so sudden, he explained, that the crew was powerless to 'do anything to save the craft. The sub marine whjch fired the. deadly mis sile was also. briefly visible at the sur face Just after the explosion. Admiralty officials admitted that they were suspicious of a small cruhser flying the Dutch flag which anchored close to the Niger several days ago and left shortly. before the latter was sunk: They were strongly " of th opinion that this ship really was Ger man and that Its mission was to cover the movements of the submarine which did the actual torpedoing. One thing in particular" which gave the British a severe shock ' was the fact that in approaching- the Niger, the submarine had to pass directly through a mine field recently laid for London's protection, indicating that the Germans had found a channel across it and might be expected to make further raids.

President Samuel Gompers prevented a mixup today on the floor of the American Federation of Labor convention here. A clash was threatened when fraternal delegates representing the American Federation of Churches' and the Fed cratlon of Catholic Societies severely criticised socialism, despite the heavy percentage of Socialists on the con vention floor. Walter George Smith, representing the Catholic federation, referred in veiled utterances -to the Colorado and vest Vl.rglnia strikes, saying: ho did not believe violence was .Justifiable under any circumstances. He said he thought labor would' fare better if It would turn the other cheek." Numerous delegates were on their feet Instantly demanding recognition, hut Gompers intervened. ' ' Gompers Deplores Violence. "I believe in peace and order," said Gompers, "and I deplore violence.

General Fran cisco Villa, at the head of 25,000 troops, was .marching on Queretaro, where a large Carranza force under General Gonzales is entrenched, ac cording to official dispatches received by the state department today. Government officials here had prac tically abandoned today all hope oi immediate peace in Mexico.

President Wilson ano secretary of State Bryan both awaited aavices from consular agents, but nothing definite had been received up to noon. Official Information indicated that General Villa has 2o,000 men under hi command and General Zapata, Villa's ally, about 10,000 trained troops. Carranza's force probably slightly sur- masses Villa's numerically, but oar- ranza's soldiers are Daaiy gcauerea, while Villa has his troops mobilized.

The deals affect the South ern Pacific, Northwestern Pacific, San ta Fe and Northern Electric railroads, and will be completed, according to lcr, as soon as the appraisers nrf auditing departments of the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific finish their reports.

SOU Goeben Damaged By Allies' SheUs Oerman-Turklsh Cruiser Sit During Bambardment of Dardanelle and Baa Oaplng Hole Above Water xane. London. Nov. 13. The Turkish cruiser Goeben was struck ;by one of the allies' shots during the recent naval bombardment of the Dardanelles forts and badly damaged, according to a news agency dispatch received here from Petrograd oday. The vessel was said to have a gap ing hole in its hull above the water line. The Goeben and the cruiser Bres lau were originally German vessels. Early In the war the Anglo-lrench Mediterranean squadron drove them Into Messina. The British and French ships lay outside the harbor waiting to attack them unless they interned. The two German craft succeeded in giving them the slip, however, and succeeded in reaching Constantinople. Thla leing a neutral port at the time, the allies took it for granted they would intern. Instead, it "was announced they had been sold toJTur key. The allies questioned the, valid ity of the transaction, especially In view of the fact that both ships were still manned by their German officers and crews. The sultan, however, dis regarded all protests. , Later both vessels engaged In an at tack on Russian Black sea porta and shipping. The story was not defin itely proven, but it 4was widtly as serted that they did so without the sultans authority, the step belt? taken by the Germans who manned them as a means of dragging th Turks into the war. At any late. It did result in bringing them Into the conflict. The Goebem was by far the most formidable ship in the sultan's fight ing fleet and if it has been seriously damaged, its loss will be a serious blow to his naval power.
