London, Aug. 24, ports of the German submarine Deutschland from the United States are corroborated in a telegram re- ceived at Amsterdam from Bremen, as forwarded by Reuter’s correspondent. According to this information, the Deutschland traveled 4,200 miles on her homeward voyage. At the be- ginning the sea was tempestuous, but later it became more calm. The Deutschland proved to be able to navigate the stormy seas excellently. Her engines worked faultlessly. No icebergs were passed on the voyage. The American government, says the despatch, acted in a correct manner Bs a neutral, rigorously enforcing re- ~=spect for its frontier from British and French warships by the employment of its own men-of-war. After a Brit- ish crulser entered Chesapeake Bay at night even more effective measures were taken to enforce neutrality. No less than eight warships, it is saiq, were on the alert, surrounded by numerous small American vessels which had been chartered for the purpose of placing nets and obtaining information as to the movements of the Deutschland. Nevertheless, the submarine succeeded in leaving un= detected. A distance of 100 miles was traversed under water without diffi- culty.

NEUTRALITY VIOLATED Russian Submarine Flying Swedfsh Flag Said to Have Captured Gerrhan Steamer and Pilot in Neutral Waters. Berlin, Aug. 24, by wireless to Say- «ville—The capture of the German steamship Desterro, with a cargo of iron ore, was made by a Russian submarine flying the Swedish flag, says the Overseas News Agency. De- spatches from Stockholm say the Des- terro was seized in Swedish territor- ial waters, having on board a Swedish pilot who has now returned to Hap- aranda. The vessel was taken into Raumo, Finland. “This flagrant violation of Swedish neutrality,” the news agency says. | “has produced excitement in Sweden and embittered the feeling of the slightly damaged, according to an ., Exchange Telegraph despatch from The Hague, which says this informa- tion is’ contained in a telegram from Bremen. The members of the crew were unwilling, it adds, to give de- tails of the return vovage. The ar- rival of the submarine surprised her owners, as she was not expected to dock within a week.

It is sald the owners of the Deutschland and the Bremen received word seven days ago of the progress being made the Deutschland on her return voyage, and that it was not until they had obtained this information that they permitted the Bremen to depart. The Deutschland took the same route on both her voyages, the de- spatch says, returning to Germany by the North Sea.

HARBOR Steamer Quits Boston for Passage to New London CREW CHEERED ON ITS WAY Flag of Fatherland Flies in Massachu- setts Bay for First Time Since Out- Break of War—Savings in Dockage, Reason Given. Boston, Aug. 24.—The North Ger- man Lloyd liner Willehad, which has been in refuge here since the out- break of the war, slipped out of the harbor early today, presumably for New London, Conn., for which port she obtained clearance papers last night. Officials of the line asserted that the change was made to reduce docking charges and denied reports that there was any connection between the Willehad’s movements and the ex- pected arrival of the German mer- chant submarine Bremen. The Willehad went out under the flag of the German marine, the first time it had been carried out of Bos ton harhor since the war began. She was without consort. Her crew, a full complement in command of Captain Jachens, had been augmented by ad- ditions from several other ships of the line here. The Willehad depart- ed in the early hours as cheers rang out from the decks of other refugee vessels. Captain J. J. Hartling, the pilot, who took the steamer out of the har- bor, said she was bound for New London and would make the passage through the Cape Cod Canal. Those aboard, he said, acted as if they were on a routine trip, and professed to know of no special service to be ren- dered at her destination. After the pilot left the vessel, Cap- tain Jachens headed the Willehad for the canal. Off Plymouth harbor, she was met by a tug which had been ‘waliting there and which accompanied her to the canal entrance at Sagmore. At the rate of her progress up to that point, it was estimated the steamer would arrive at New London about 5 o’clock this afternoon. The Willehad, a cargo steamer of 4,761 tons, was the smallest of the refugee ships at this port. She had come out of a dry dock only yester- day and had been supplied with coal, ice and provisions. Notwithstanding the two inactivity since the vessel sought shelter at engines were in fine her crew well drilled in their according to Pilot Hartling. The Willehad is making the voyage under charter to the Eastern For- warding company, American agents of the German company which is op ting the merchant submarine service begun by the Deutschland. This was the statement today of C. Kuhlewein, local agent of the North German Lloyd line, owner of the Willehad. He said docking arrangements for the steamer had been made at New London. Virtually the entire voyage to that city would be within the three mile imit, he said, except for ane or two stretches where the distance from shore would not be too great to pre- vent the Willehad reaching the neu- tral line without difficulty in the event that a belligerent war vessel ap- peared outside, Off the canal entrance the Willehad came to anchor to allow canal officials to consult with Captain Jachens re- garding the passage through the cut. They were to determine whether the steamer should be put through this afternoon or late tonight, when water conditions would be better. The fact that the steamer William Chisholm was sunk some weeks ago in the canal made the condition somewhat involved, but was not expected to cause any delay or trouble. vears of condition and duties, New London, Aug. 24.—At the of- fice of ‘the Rivers, Harbors and Bridges commission at the state ter- minal this morning it was said that no definite information in regard to the arrival of the steamer Willehad had been received. It was sald that the pier was in readiness to receive the craft whenéver she appeared and that no special arrangements for docking here were necessary.

Washington, Aug. 24.—Renewed 0p- timism on the prospects for averting | the threatened railroad strike pre- vailed today among the representa- tives of the employes and at the White House. Commissioner Chambers of the fed- eral mediation board, after conferring with President Wilson, carried a mes- sage to the brotherhood leaders. Signs of unrest among the men, so apparent yesterday, disappeared today and there were renewed indications that the railroads would agree on some proposal to the eight hour day in a manner satisfactory to the employes’ committee and then bring about investigation of all the collateral issues. Railway heads who continued today their efforts to meet President Wil- son’s plan for averting a strike probr ably had for their guidance informa- tion on the administration’s atticude toward legislation or other mental action looking toward recom- pensing them for a possible conces- sion of the eight hour basic day. A definite statement of this atti- tude. it is believed, was the object sought by a committee of three rail- way presidents who called on .Mr. Wilson at the White House again last evening, following a conference during the day between the president and Senator Newlands and Representa- tive Adamson. chairmen of the sional committees having interstate commerce include con- charge tion. legisla- Possible Courses by Congress. Courses which might be taken by | congress affecting directly the present railway situation, it was pointed out, | are these: Direct the interstate commerce commission by resolutions to investi- gate the entire subject of the rela- tions between railroads and their em- ployes. Pass the pending bill to increase the commission’s membership from seven T0 nine in anticipation of additional duties to be imposed. Exact a measure compelling arbi- tration of future disputes similar to that pendipg., Establish the eight hour day prin- ciple by legislation. Pass measures clearing the way for government ownership of railroads. The first two proposals were receiv- | ing most serious consideration, it was said. Statements given out by the railway presidents showed no relaxation in thelr opposition to the eight hour principle, and there was no direct in- dication of when they might give a final answer to President Wilson. Many telegrams from industrial and commercial interests protestini against granting the eight hour day were displayed by the railway heads. Chambers Se¢es Employes. Commissioner Chambers of the red- eral board of mediation held an early morning conference with President | Wilson and then met the representa- tives of the railroad employes. was reported that he carried proposals made to President W by a sub-committee of the executives last night.

Middletown, Aug. 24.—The biennial convention of the Ancient Order Hibernians adjourned this afternoon and its meeting place two years hence will be selected by state board made up of the four officers and the state chaplain.

Lyons of Hartford for his eighth term. convention recommended to Bishop of Nilan the name of Father Flannery | of Hazardville for state chaplain. Many resolutions were some of them at lefigth. In one al- legiance is reaffirmed to the Pope, the Catholic church, the bishop and the clergy and to Ireland as the mother country. In part the resolutions say: “We unreservedly condemn any at- tempt which entails partition of the nation (Ireland) and we commit our- selves at all times to the demand that it must receive from the governments of the world the place earned by long martyrdom to an ideal that has never been relinquished by a majority of her sons.” Casement Resolution. As to the execution of Roger Case- ment and his associates the resolution condemns it, saying: ‘“We have be- held the savagery pursued agalnst the truest patriots who have ever shed blood in the name of liberty, with un- speakable loathing. We denounce the wholesale butchery which, for- getful of every human sentiment, un- mindful of every lawful convention and heedless of objections from every civilized nation done to a tortured end the little band of heroes who loved Erin, to the death and whosse | only crime was that undying affection. . In special way we denounce the indefensible execution of that knight without fear and without reproach— . that for what -the sacrifice of his life— we resolve must be the object of our | our activity till the land for which he died is as he would have Roger Casement.—. . he offered prayvers and irin free among spirit will not rest soul which we now the nations content until beseech may be | with his God.” Praise for President Wflson. Another resolution pledges the or- der to the work of freeing Ireland, and reasserts loyalty to the United States. Regarding President Wilson the resolution said in part: “To Pres- ident Woodrow Wilson, and to all the ! allegiance we loyalty, and express a feeling of gratitude for the efforts made to retain our nation un- complicated with the dissensions which divide other people, and we proffer our aid in every legitimate way to second the efforts of those govern us, to secure a continuance of peace and prosperity t§ our country.” Another resolution recommended the continuance of study of Irish his- tory in all schools—that the military branch should be increased and that state armories should be thrown open to it so that by drilling the commands may be in readiness to a call from state or nation should its services be required.
