C . Washington, July 2. An unusual story of hardships, daring and mir aculous escape from death during the war was brought to light when naval omcers maae public, an ac count of the adventures of the crew of the navy dirigible B-12, which was given up for lost by the depart ment in July, 1918, after drifting around at sea for more than two days, during which the crew had practically nothing to eat and ran short of drinking water. The dirigi ble finally was forced to descend on the surface of the sea and the crew was rescued, by the Swedish ship Skagern., - The B-12, with Ensign W. B. Griffen as -commanding officer and pilot, was ordered t leave Chatham. Mass., early July 19, on a patrolling expedition. German submarines were then operating off the Atlantic coast and the dirigible was well loaded with bombs. Scanty food supplies were carried, as Ensign Griffen expected to return to Chat ham that night. The radio equip ment had only been partially in stalled and could not be used to send or receive messages. Couldn't Steer Craft. The B-12 patrolled to the north along the coast and sighted a trans port about 3:30 p. m.

Washington, July 2.- Violation of the law regarding farm loans was charged against the. federal land banks, "as guided and controlled by the federal farm loan board," by Representative McFadden, republic an, Pennsylvania, Under an extension of remarks printed in the congres sional record. He asserted that the requirements that loans be made only to resident land owners was disregarded and that "dummy deals" permit evasion of the maximum amount of a loan on one farm. He urged that congress make federal land bank bonds taxable, which he asserted would enhance the value of Liberty bonds. 1 - 4,The rulings of the federal far'm loan board show that tenantry is en couraged and that practically no re striction is irnp"osed to enforce the intent of the law requiring loans to be made to actual farmers," Repre sentative McFadden declared. "In the mad rush to secure a large volume of loans the federal land banks continuously and persistently violate the express provisions of the law by resorting to subterfuges that render them liable to the censure of congress and of the courts." While the maximum loan to one person is $1U,UUU, Mr. Mcfadden said, that "in order to violate" this provision a farmer can sell an inter est to his wife, thus obtaining $JU,- 000 and by taking in another rela tive as a temporary partner, they can borrow 30,000. In this connection he cited two transactions which he asserted had been investigated by reliable abstractors that disclose loans of $32,000 and $41,300 on two Iowa farms.

High winds were prevailing at the time and the LB - 12 was forced to cruise around ini a great circle while the crew at tempted to attract the attention of several ships and two seaplanes then in sight. No attention was paid to repeated signals and finally Ensign Griffen ordered the motors cut off in order to save the gasoline for ballast. The' B-12 was at that time about 200 feet in the air and was virtually a free balloon. Darkness was com ing on and the big gas bag was drift ing northward at a speed of about 25 miles an hour. ' A sea anchor was rigged up and an effort made to retard the dirigi ble's progress by dragging it in the sea. After a few moments, however, the towing cable parted and the northward progress was resumed at an increased speed. Nine Rockets Fired. About 8:30 o'clockthat night a ship was sigh'ted and nine rockets were fired from a pistol. The vessel apparently saw the signals and di rected its course toward the B-12, only to turn away.' About that time the pipeline leading to the emer gency oil tank broke and before the leak was discovered all of the oil was lost, causing a considerable de crease of ballast.

Daily JV CALL OFF KEYPvlEN'S WALKOUT President of Union Declares Strike Has Not Been as Pro ductive of Results as Desired Owing toVarious Causes. NEW LAWslFlGATE AGAINST SURE SUCCESS Postmaster General's Auto cratic Behavior Scored by S. J. Konenkamp in Long State ment to Members oMJnibrr. Chicago, July 2. The strike of telegraphers which began June 11 was called off at noon today by S. J. LlConenkamp, president of the Com mercial Telegraphers' Union 'of America. President Konenkamp, who returned from Washington this morning, called off the strike' after he had conferred with other officials of the union. A statement addressed to the members of the organization by President Konenkamp read in part: "Wlien the present strike was de clared against the telegraph com panies under control of the wire administration, it was .understood that it would not be made an en durance contest". The strike was to be the final protest against the un fair and unjust treatment we have received since August, 1918, at the hands of the wire administration. Worked to Compel Action. "We realized that in order to make this protest effective it would be necessary to make the strike suf ficieatly acute to compel action. This does not seem possible now either through our efforts or the ef forts of others we' relied upon te- help us. This is the view taken by many who are vitally interested in the success of the strike and they agree with me that to submit the proposition to a vote of the mem be&hip would result in serious de lay and disorganization. Acting up on this conclusion and with a view to serving your best interests, I hereby declare the strike at an end and you are instructed to work with out further delay. You have made a gallant struggle for your rights as American wqrkingmen and women. , "You have sought a minimum o! the things which the present govern ment administration says all work ers should enjoy. You have not only been denied these rights but governmental agencies have been used to prevent you getting them by exercising your own economic strength. Send Messages In Bags, "We find that sending telegrams from city to city in suit cafes is now permissible although Western Union officials were arrested for doing so a year ago. We find that telegrams are being mailed without restriction. The telegraph officials say the government is footing the strike losses, thereby adding this factor to our opposing forces. "We are doubly unfortunate in having to deal with a governmental i representative in the person of Mr. Burleson, who will yield no con cession to the workers unless it is forced from him and in not being able to muster enough strength within our own ranks to compel him to give usva square deal. Despite all of his high-sounding words, the fact remains that Burleson has fought lis and .aided the telegraph companies at every turn and his party must take the blame. Future Not Hopeless. "The future, however, is not with out hope. The principles for which we contend are going to prevail in the end. They must prevail because they are right. The union will con tinue"" its fight for the elemental tights of industrial freedom. We urge you as a loyal member to con tinue lo do your part. "The C. T. U. A. will not sur-. render. Some reorganization of the union may be necessary, but our banner flung to the breeze in 1902 will never be furled." It was announced that a meeting of the executive committee of the organizatiorr would be called in a ifew days to consider plans of reor ganization.
