That the District of Columbia should have representtaion in both houses of Congress and that a commission should established to study the fiscal re- lations between the Federal and Dis- trict governments, w 3 tablishing a more eq the National Capital is to progress and Justice is to be done to its citizens, was the formal opinion expressed by the interfederaation conference in two res- olutions unanimously adopted at its meeting last night at the Hamilton Hotel. The canference also elected new offi- cers and discussed at length proposals to establish a publicity bureau here which shall be designed to advance the interests of the metropolitan area at all times and in all parts of the country ‘The interfederation conference is com- of delegates representing the istrict of Columbia Federation of Citi- zens. the Arlington Cou eration and the X\ £0! ty Civic Federation of Ma Suter Takes Initiative. ‘The question of national represen- tation in Congress w: v Jesse C. Suter, who declared that while the conference had previously dis- custed and favorably acted upon the subject. reaaffirmation of its views at this time was highly desirable. He| cited the great need of national repre-} sentation if the District’s best interests | were to be conserved. The text of the! resolution, which was carried, follows: “Resolved, by the Interfederation Conference, That we reaffirm our sup- port of the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States, em- powering Congress to grant to the citi- zens of the District of Columbia na- tional representation in the Senate. the House of Representatives and in the electoral coliege and to give to the citizens of the District of Columbia 8 status before the Federal courts as provided in H. R. 18 and S. J. R. 8 “Resolved, further, That the officers of this conference are hereby author- ized and dirvected to support this prop- osition before the judiciary committee of the Senate and House of Represen-| tatives of the United States.” D. C. Fiscal Relations. In presenting his resolution calling for investigation of the question of| fiscal relations, E. S. Hege of the| District Federation declared that the present system could not conticue in Justice to the people of the District of Columbia and cited many prevailing inequities. He pointed out that citizens generally were in favor of the creation of a commission to survey the interests | of the United States and the District in order to determine a fair basis of expense to be borne by the Federal| Government in the operation of the| National Capital. He declared the find- ings of this commission undoubtedly would forever remove misunderstand- ngs of the present and should prove | entirely fair to all. The text of the| Hege resolution follows: “Resolved, That we, the Interfedera- tion Conference, regards as desirable, fair and logical the wishes of the citizens of the District of Columbia to obtain a commission selected from Congress and the said citizens’ commis- sion to study and determine the ques- tion of proportions to be contributed by the Federal and District govern- ments to the annual expenses of the latter o government. Both resolutions were warmly sup- mud by delegates representing Mary- d and Virginia, who declared that thefr own destinies in large measure ‘were bound up with the steady progress of the District of Columbia. ‘The conference discussed further the question of establishment of a publicity buresu for the Washington metropoli- tan area and a committee, headed by Oliver Owen Kuhn, was named to con- sider the question in its details for fur- report. ‘The conference at the behest of the avepue situation was discussed and the action of the conference, whicn upon an appeal by Col. elected Mr. Suter, former president of the District federation, as chairman of the body. Mr. Kuhn was chosen vice chairman and R. E. Plymale secretary and treasurer. Those attending the meeting last night were: Mr. Buter, Mr. Kuhn, Mr. Plymale. Mr. Hege, Charles P. Kinche- Joe, J. G. Yaden, president of the Dis- trict Pederation: F. G. Campbell, J. H. Cissel, L. C. McNemar, president of the | Arlington County Federation, and Col. Barber, president of the Montgomery Federation.

Submarine Off Cape Cod. ‘Meanwhile the submarine’s battle with | the unresisting tug Perth Amboy and its helpless tow of barges continued. Six- |inch shells splashed water over the tug. Though the German shooting was wild. |a few shots went home, and the tug |was soon in flames. Three of the | barges had been hit and had sunk or |were sinking. A vacationing Boston | attorney, whose Summer home com- ! manded "the scene of attack, sent his |family inland to safety and then sat |down in a window with his telephone to report the progress of the engage- !ment. Calling the editorial rooms of the Boston Globe, he gave that paper one of the great “beats” of newspaper history—a minute-by-minute “eye- | attack on the coast of the United States. Several shells from the submarine’s guns struck the land, for the submarine was in the easy range of 3 miles from the Massachusetts shore. Chatham and Orleans lay helpless under her guns. and it was quite in keeping with the policy of the enemy to destroy both towns as a lesson in “frightfulness.” Women and children were sent inland. but the sturdy Cape Codders remained to watch the fight and take a hand in it if the opportunity offered. America’s First Air Battle. Lingard and Howard came booming up from Chatham in their seaplane. They had only one bomb and they took no chances of a miss. Although the bomb was set to be dropped from an altitude of 1500 feet. Lingard flew down to 400 feet above the enemy's deck through a storm of machine-gun bullets, which threatened to blow him, his plane and his bomb to atoms. The submarine dived hastily and Lingard dropped his bomb squarely on the deck of the U boat as it slid under the sur- face. A direct hit! Had the bomb ex- ploded the German submarine campaign on our Atlantic Coast would have been ended. The U-boat came back to the surface after it was evident that Lingard had spent his ammunition. The crew poured out on deck and resumed their work of destruction. To distract at- tention from the helpless coasting craft, Lingard circled the submarine a few hundred feet above the water with the W%, METAL 22 WEATHERSTRIP (Lasts forever.

As the long hours went by Lingard's companion, Ensign Shields, lost con- iousness and his inert body slipped |into the sea. Lingard seized his fainting | companion and dragged him back on | the water-logged wing. where he took | | up the double burden of holding on his | companion as well as himself. i Twenty-seven long hours after they (had been forced to descend a subma- | rine patrol boat pulled alongside and | | rescued both men. Lingard's long fight | for his life and that of Ensign Shields | was too much for his powers of recuper- | ation. He died from pneumonia con- tracted during that wild day and night. His funeral at Annisquam, Mass., was | attended by a host of service men and |civilians. During the impressive mm-‘ tary funeral seaplahes from Chatham | soaring through the heavens dropped flowers upon the grave. In speaking of the personnel of the | Chatham station, Dr. Henry van Dyke, | | then a Naval Reserve chaplain. said: | “Early this morning one of your best comrades, a brave youth, a faithful offi- | | cer, a daring and skillful aviator, passed |out of this life.
