Cruisers Also Watch
North Carolina Coast
BEUFORT, July 27.—Two Allied
"warships, apparently cruisers, have
suddenly appeared off the North Ca
rolina coast on the look out for Ger
man under sea liners. It is reported
that the Bremen, the Big German
submarine sea liner, and the sister
ship of the Deutschland, which Is
already overdue is coming here.
BALTIMORE, July 27.—This noon
the Deutschland showed no signs
of being ready to cast off its. moor
ings and to leave for Europe.
LONDON, July 27.—German sub
marine's are now directing prin
cipal attention to vessels carrying
lumber from Norway and Sweden to
Great Britain. Four Norwegian
ships have been destroyed by the
U boats.
BERLIN, July 27.—-rThe non-de
parture of the under sea merchant
man from Baltimore is not consid
ered due to anything in the way of
fear of the Allied ships. It is he.'e
regarded as a practical impossible
lty for the cruisers to intercept tha
Deutschland. It is taken for grant
ed that the liner will depart at
night and submerge when about to
reach the three mile limit. It will
thus become a practical impossibil
ity to chase the U boat.
The greatest confidence prevails
although it is admitted the ma
chinery may be far from perfect as
yet.

SENATE URGED TO PAY
DEPENDENTS OF MILITIA
. _ _ ' • *
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27.—
The Senate today was urged to pay
dependent families of guardsmen
fifty dollars a month while the men
are on duty on the border. An ap
propriation to two million dollars
for this purpose was offered as an
amendment to the Army bill today
and will probably be accepted.
The secret service men of the ad
ministration will assist the authori
ties of San Francisco in trying to
unearth the authors of the bomh
outrage upon the preparedness pa
rade last Saturday.
The State Department is now con
sidering the British reply relative to I
mail seizures. Reports show that1
these continue and the government 1
is making ready to take drastic
steps to end this condition.
The fate of the shipping bill is in
doubt. It may not be attended to
this session owing to the rush of
business.
Politics is growing warmer in this
capital, with every man doing the
best he can.
It is now quite clear that the re
publicans intend to make the tarift
an issue as wholly vital to the
country upon the conclusion ot
peace. It is announced that all
contracts recently signed with the
Allies permit their cancellation after
feeptembc-r if the Allies so desire.

position.
AMSTERDAM, July 27.—The

ABOUT TO JOIN ALLIES
GENEVA, July 27.—A Berlin
dispatch admits, that there is grave
reason to fear that Rumania will
shortly join the Allies. It is known
that the real reason for the pro
crastination of the Allies in Saloni
ka was pending the completion ot
an agreement with Rumania. This
Is said to have been at last reached,
especially owing to the successes of
the Allies which has changed the

Deadly Battle For The
Crossing Of Streams
i
PETROGRAD, July 27.—The Ger
mans launched an attack upon tho
' Russian lines south ot Lake Volt
^ chino. The assault was conducted
in the nature of a surprise attack,
began before daylight and was un
heralded by any artillery prelude.
The Germans reached the Rus
sians where fierce hand to hand
battling took place wherein tho
Germans were repulsed after severe
losses had been inflicted.
The fighting in the region of the
. River Slonekva and the Boldurodka
j river is becoming a deadly battling
, for the possession of the crossings
over these streams. The Germans
with considerable Austrian levies
are offering a desperate resistance.
The Russians on the other hand are
also bringing up additional men
while their artillery fire upon the
Teuton positions never slackens.

tirement of the Turks before the
Grand Duke's army in Asia Minor

GREAT BRONX STRIKE
INVOLVE THE METROPOLIS
!
NEW YORK, July 27.—The small
and what was regarded as a not
very serious strike of surface car
men in the Bronx now threatens to

spread the strike to all lines sur
face and subway in the metropol
itan traction system, almost an in
conceivable condition.

various executive boards of tht
amalgamated associations are now
in session. It is reported to be at
almost foregone conclusion that the
men will walk out.
Many persons were hurt when a
riot followed an attack upon a cai
in the Bronx. The company made
an effort to operate the car witn
Strikebreakers but had finally to
abandon the attempt.
Six hundred police are being he! I
in reserve in the three Bronx dis
tricts and more trouble is admittedly
feared. The companies have also
on band a number of bad men who
, have been recruited for the pur
1 pose of helping to break the strike.
^ Intermittent clashes occurred
during the day as the company
| made repeatedly ineffectual efforts
i to operate their cars.
Tlie prospect of the strike In
volving the city is very positivo
and probable.
