"WASHINGTON. April 8 The ves

than when the United Slates joined!

coasts or the United States, Admiral
1 H, B. Wilson today told the senate in-1
jvestigating committee of the navy de-
partment's conduct of the world wai.
(Admiral Wilson asserted that from!
1 the moment war was declared the eii-1
itire navy, tho department as well as
'the fleet entered into the prosecution
of the war with the greatest energy :
and Its accomplishments deserve tho I
commendation of the nation.

i the .patrol force that first protected
I waters adjacent to the United btatGo '

, operated in protecting allied convoys)

Quick Action Taken
ithln four days after the country,

allied admiralties were in conference
'with secretary Daniels and naval f
fleers in Washington outlining tho
I means by which tho most effective aj

i as he knew, Admiral Wilson said, v

, promptly agreed to and efficiently car-
ried out. The fact that a greater part
I of tne American army was transport
ed over 3.000 miles of water without a
life being lost through efforts ofjthe

co operation, tho admiral asserted. j
Mistakes Relatively Unimportant
Mistakes the navy made during the
war were so "relatively unimportant"
, that they were hardly worth consider
ing in comparison with its achieve
ments, the witness' said. i
' Referring to Admiral Sims' charger
that an Insufficient number of small
vessels was sent abroad during I he
'first few months of American partici
pation in the war, Admiral Wilson de
clared that at a conference between
Secretary Daniels ah'd allied admiral
ty representatives about April 10, 1917, '
the foreign officials did not qxpress)
any dire need for help and suggested
that the United States take over the
work of patrolling the waters adjacent1

FRANKFORT, April S. iBy the;

clash in the SchlDerplatz between'
French troops and the population, re
sulting in the killing of six Germans
andthe wounding of some two score
others, was followed by a strong dis- (
play of French military force, which'
brought the restoration of order by
the time darkness had sot in.
It was a rumor that the French had ,
been forced by thepressure of the al-'
lies and the United 'Slates to wlthdi aw
from the &lty. The1 crowd jeered find .
taunted ihcj- troops, veiling "you've got:

The firing attracted a great crowd'
to tho square, u,n.clrcling the troops.
The French began to bring up rein
forcements, four tanks between solid
columns of soldiers rolling In ready,
for action.
Tho German police aided in the ac
tion taken to restore order, quickly '
stationing groups at strategic polnt3
to control the crowds.
A French staff officer doplored the
happening in conversation with the'
i correspondent lonlglu. ,
' ' French Regret.
' "The French authorities extremely
: regret this occurrence," he said.
The earlier part of -the day was
! passed by the French in completing '
I their occupancy of Frankfort. It Is
understood that an entire division is
employed in Frankfort and its vicinity,
: but plans w.ere to reduce this force
I later to tho size of a regiment.
' The city appeared to be continuing
: its normal life, although the news
papers were not permitted to appear,
j Editors of the daily Journals decided ;
that the newspaper would not b3 pub
j llshed even if permission were grant
I cd, as long as the French maintained
their censorship.
: It could be noticed early in tle af
' ternoon that there vas-a strong unr
dercurrcnt of excitement among tho
population, and hostility to the "In
vaders," as they are called here, could
be plainly observed op every hand. In
tense curiosity was manifested in tho
Senegalese and the ; Chinese troops
which arrived today. ' v
Will ic and Dlack.
J "Tho invaders were white yester
day; they arc bluck today," was the
cynical comment' of some of the by
standers. Tho early behavior of tho
French troops was conservative, how
ever, and no criticisms were heard.
In mid-afternoon .' some of tne
French detachments marched out to
vake up positions in the suburbs, and
the report immediately gained clreu-
lation that Great Britain and America
and Italy as well had discountenanced!
'.he occupation, and 'that the French
had been forced to clear out. The ru
mor spread like prairie lire and gained
Mnstant credence.
Pedestrians revolted.
Excited pedestrians ran to the street
corners to join the crowds watching
the soldiers pass. It Is understood that
a movement was started to call a
strike of short duration as a protest
against the occupation, but the corre
spondent was informed shortly after
noon that the leaders, of the Social
Democrats were counseling against a
strike fearing that the presence of
Idle workmen in the streets might lead
, to disorders.
Tho Germans refer satirically to tho
occupation' as "tho conquest of Frank
fort," declaring that the French
secretly surrounded "tho city and
swooped dowp upon it aB if they ex
pected to meot armed resistance. A
number of tanks which had boon
placed in front of IhVrullway station
yesterday were removed during tho
early hours today. '

QUARTET OF BANK
ROBBERS FLEE AS
BIG GONGS RING
LOS ANGELES, April 8.
Four men attempted early to
day to rob the First National
bank of Hynes, about twenty
miles from Los Angeles, but
were frightened away when, in
cutting into the vaults, they set
off a burglar'alarm which rang
not only in the bank, but in
nearby homes of attaches of the
institution. As they fled in an
automobile the awakened at
taches fired revolvers and shot
gams at them. The robbers did
not return the fire.
The robbers "jimmied" the
bank's front door and apparent
ly went directly to the vaults.
Their flight was so hasty that
they left behind their tools, in
cluding an acetylene tank, a
blow torch, drills, hack saws,
sledge hammers and a pair of
rubber gloves. -
This was ths second recent at
tempt to rob the Hynes insti
tution. The first failed when a
young man tried a daylight
holdup. Tiie president of the
bank, angered at the brisk de
mands of the robber "knocked
him out" with his fists and he
now is serving a penitentiary
term.

is In tho hands of the fedral grand
jury here which may lead to other
arrests in connection with what leu
eral officials say is one of the most
pretentious revolutionary plot3 ever
conceived in the border hotbed of

But for the arrest of a boy and gjrl
carrying messages to Francisco Villa
by military forces in tho Big Bend dis
trict, officers admit the plan for the
seizure of Lower California and sim
ultaneous campaigns against Sonora,
Sinaloa and Chihuahua might have
developed into serious proportions.
Messages carried by Andres II. Vil
legas and Concepcion Perez, the latter
said to be a piece of Villa, furnished
information which led to the arrest
at Los Angeles of Colonel Lamberto
Chaves, of Villa's army on a charge of
attempting to smuggle arms into Mex
ico, and at Mcxlcall the arrest of A.
orbQil and his aijl o on a similar charge.
Chavez is said to be a colonel in
Villa's army and Borboa had In his
possession a proclamation naming
himself governor of Lower California
and naming his aide as chief of the
army.
According to details of the alleged
plot made public yesterday, the revo
lutions were to cross into' Lower Cali
fornia from the United States, seize
arms and ammunition, of which there
Is a big supply, and conduct simul
taneous campaigns acalnst Sonora andi
Sinafoa, while Gneral Villa launched
a. vigorous campaign in Chihuahua to
dlvort tho foderal troops from coming
to tho aid of the state governments

Outlaw Group Forms I
Branches In Several I
Big Terminal Cities I
CHICAGO, April 8. Today will decide whether the railroad brotherhoods
can control their men or whether the unauthorized and "illegal" strikes l
sweeping railroad yards from Buffalo, N. Y., to Los Angeles, Cal., have so dis-
Irupted the established unions that the leaders have lost all control. '
Railroad officials and union leaders here alike agreed that today would
I bring the real test of strength .between the strongly entrenched group of ''H
j brotherhoods and the "outlaw" unions which have sprung up under leaders
who voice their dissatisfaction at what they declare is the failure of the '
brotherhood officials to get more money for their men. !
J A review of the situation shows: I
I Chicago, eight to ten thousand railroad men out; freight service reduced j
to about 30 to 50 per cent of normal; 35,000 packing house employes forced
out of work by the shutdown. j
Kansas City, 2500 men. on strike; nine of the thirteen roads entering the I
( city affected. :
Buffalo, 2700 men idle, seven railroad yards tied up; an embargo in ef- f
feet against all freight. $
Los Angeles, 500 to 1000 men on strike; three transcontinental lines af
fected. Toledo, Ov 600 switchmen, all traffic expected to-be at a standstill with- 'JH
in 24 hours. ,
Gary, 300 men out. Strike. spreading.
St. Louis, East St. Louis and Milwaukee, men are holding meetings to
, corisider organisation of .branches jif,:the new "outlaw' unions.- ' H
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Apri) S The railroad strike has spread to Los ' ;
Angeles where, early today, the Yardmen's association said between 500 : H
and 1000 men on the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and Salt Lake' lines had H
walked out in sympathy with the strikers on eastern roads. ( H
The strikers said their action here was the result of being underpaid and H
predicted the entire Pacific coast, it not the whole nation, would be affected ; H
soon. ; H
The walkout here, which is in sympathy with the unauthorized strike , ' H
in the Chicago switching district, came with practically no warning. Men H
on the Southern Pacific took action first, claiming more than seven hundred H
walked out of the yards, and declaring the movement had extended to all H
Southern Pacific lines from San Francisco along the coast, to El Paso, Texas. H
SALT LAKE YARDS HIT.
One hundred men of the Salt Lake yard forces were the next reported H
out, followed, it was said by approximately 100 of the Santa Fe yardmen. H
The walkout includes firemen, engineers, switchmen, oilers and othe- H
railroad yard workers. They said the strike was called by an independent H
organization as a protest against the conduct of the railroad brotherhoods in ' fl
Chicago and as the beginning of a nation-wide move to demand "an ade- 1 H
quale increase" in wages. ' ' I
MORE WAGES WANTED. 5
The men said a "considerable increase" in wages would be demanded of ;
the railroads. They did not discuss this in definite terms, but it was under- 1 i H
stood the demand would have a 33 per cent basis. This, it was said, meant .
yardmen would ask 95 cents an hour and foremen $1-00, with time and a ''I
half for overtime and Sundays and double time for a second eight-hour shift. t I
j They asserted they had assurance all railroad union men would back the - '
; movement "to the limit." . I
"We are underpaid," the men said. "We have had nothing hut promises B: I
of more pay for the last two years. The cost of living is so high 'we must P, I
have more pay. When we could not get it any .other way,- .we walked ouL" g j!
The strikers were scheduled to hold a meeting today. I I
CHICAGO. April S. Tho "insurgent" railroad strike, which began a W -,
week ago in Chicago had spread to other parts of the United States today. B '
East and west freight movement across the continent, already restricted H $
by the Chicago strike, was hampered further by switchmen striking at such jj ' !
strategic gateways as Buffalo and Kansas City, and at such centers as Joliet I j
and Decatur, 111., and Gary, Ind. 1
Strikes were threatened today at Milwaukee, SL Louis and East St. , J
Louis, openings to the northwest and the southwest. Strikers predicted also, M
that 25,000 men in northern New York would join them, cutting off freight 1 fi
traffic from Buffalo to New York and Boston. '
The Yardmen's association, insurgent organization which called the ;
strikes, was forming branches in numerous terminal centers, reports indi- j j
cate. !
j Railroad brotherhood officers who came to Chicago to assist railroad - fl
managers in an endeavor to break the strike, declared that reports for today fl
I would reveal traffic in Chicago yards to be at least 60 per cent normal.
The strikers, however, claimed that by tonight no switch engines would ,8,
I be operating in the Chicago district. Officers of the Yardmen's association i 1
j held to their estimate of 16.500 switchmen out in the Chicago district in ad- I ! .
idition to engineers, firemen and engine hostlers. , ' ,':
1 The insurgent enginemen's association hnd enrolled 10,000 engineers, ( it
I firemen and hostlers at Chicago, according to its officers.
I H. E. Reading, organizer of the United Enginemen's association, denied, i i
i however, 'that enginemen were on strike. "They are not working bcause with ,
the switchmen idle there is no work for enginemen," Reading said. "Wc
sjmply joined this organization because wc were tired of the old one domi- -M
nated by Its officers." i
The striking switchmen claimed that engineers and firemen had aban -, t
doned engines on tho Chicago, Burlington &. Quincy; -Chicago, Milwaukee &. 'J ljj
SL Paul; the Chicago & Northwestern, and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa ; jj:
Fe railroads at Chicago. : I &
Arrangements were made for a conference today at Cleveland of the J ,vj
chiefs of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Locomotive Engineers and ' k
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. 1 i At
W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, declares a
that reports of more than 5,000 switchmen out in the Chicago district were Hv
incorrect. He said the district membership did not exceed 5000. Railroad . , :
managers repeated that they estimated the strikers did not number more -i ( y
than 2700 in the Chlcngo district, exclusive of engineers and firemen. ' u
Officers of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen continued with their r' J S
plan of bringing loyal members to Chicago to take the places of strikers. A I .1
dispatch from Sheridan, Wyo., said that several members had started from 4 ; K
there to join thOBO from points nearer Chicago. .1 "!
Industries throughout the Chicago district had begun to feel the effects ; f I
of tho strike seriously today.
