Washington, Nov. 19. - President
Wilson today was given free hand by
the railroads in his effort to avert a
strike by engineers, conductors and
brakemen. He will confer with the
union heads Thursday.
Formal announcement to the board
that the railroads were ready in case
of a crisis to place their interests
in the hands of the president for such
distribution as he may determine nec-
essary in the public interest, was ex-
pected to clear away any misunder-
standing of the four brotherhoods
about the attitude of the roads.
Possibility of a stoppage in the
flow of commerce, thereby paralizing
the nation's war preparations, was be-
lieved by officials to have passed.

YANKEE INGENUITY SAVES
U. S. FREIGHTER FROM U-BOAT
An Atlantic Port, Nov. 19.-Fires
kindled on the hatch of an American
freighter saved it from submarine at-
tack recently, say the officers of the
steamer which arrived yesterday.
Shortly after leaving a European port
they saw a U-boat approaching. The
captain ordered small blazes made on
the hatches, using material almost
noncombustable, but producing heavy
smoke.
When the submarine came close, the
steamer was stopped, the captain told
the U-boat commander he carried ex-
plosive, and that on account of the
fire he was about to abandon the ship.
The submarine immediately departed,
its commander evidently believing an
explosion was imminent.

GERMAN AUTHORITIES TRY
RATIONS FOOD BLUFF
Copenhagen, Nov. 19.-The view that
the German authorities are pursuing
a policy of bluff in granting food al-
lowances considerably higher than
are justified by crops, seemingly is
confirmed by recent debates in the
Prussian diet. It was said in these
debates that it probably would be ne-
cessary to reduce both the meat and
bread rations March 1
The laboring classes generally are
complaining that the potato allowance
of a pound a day is inadequate, but it
is said that there is no prospect of the
allowance being increased, as the sur-
plus will -be required' for feeding 'ani-
mals.
