CAPTAIN PLANNED
 TO DASH FOR THE SEA
Details of Attempt of Steamer Oden- wald to Leave San Juan HarbOr
 Sent United States

Washington March 30.-Additional in- formation on the German steamship Oden- walds attempt to slip out of the San Juan, Porto Rico, harbor without clear ance papers recently was received here tonight from Collector of Customs Rich ardson, one of the central figures in the drama which led to the seizure of the Odenwald by United States marshal for alleged violation of American neutrality. The Odenwald had taken on coal and provisions just before starting out of the harbor. but Richardson says she had no unusual quantities aboard, nor were there any arms or ammunition. some officials think, however, that the report supports the belief that the dash to sea was timed just at the right moment to meet another steamship outside.
 The presence of this steamer had been hinted at in previous official reports. but Richardson declares he personally saw clouds of smoke outside the harbor as the Odenwald got under way. and he encloses statements from other persons who saw a large steamer a short distance outside. It has been said that this ship was the German converted cruiser Kronprinz Will helm, and that the Odenwald made her attempt to get away to carry her coal and provisions.
 The report said investigation after a five-inch shell from Moro castle had stopped the Odenwald showed that five row boats had been anchored along the channel, indicating a prearranged plan to point the way out of the harbor for the German skipper.
 Attorney General Gregory has said that he expects to develop first the civil case, seeking confiscation of the Odenwald. be- fore deciding whether to bring criminal proceedings against the captain or owners.

AMERICAN KILLED
 WHEN FALABA SUNK.
Leon Thrasher Among Vic tins When Submarine
 Torpedoed Steamer

| London, March 3l.-(2:52 a. m.)--It is an nounced officially that among the missing passengers of the steamer Falaba, which was sunk by a German submarine. is Leon Chester Thrasher, an American en- gineer, who had been living for the past year on the Gold Coast, British West Africa
 Thrasher carried an American passport and in the form he was required to fill out before embarking described himself as an American citizen, put gave no American address. He was employed by the Brommassie Mines, Ltd. Inquiry at the offices of the company here elcted the information that nothing had been heard from Thrasher and that it was presumed he had been drowned.
 Passengers rescued from the Falaba say that when the submarine approached the steamer the German captain shouted in English: T am going to sink you
 Another first class passenger from the Falaba reached Liverpool tonight, having been rescued by trawler and landed at Milford
 The Daily Mail, in connection with tho drowning of Thrasher, says that the ques- ton whether the Washington government will permit belligerent to destroy an un- offending passenger ship, carrying an American citizen, without giving that citi- zen, opportunity to escape, is raised in it's sharpest form.

TELLS HOW BRITISH WON BIG VICTORY Capture of Neuve Chapelle Described by Canadian
 Officer

Ottawa, March 30.--An account of the which the troops of the Canadian ex- peditionary force played a prominent
 part. as described by Sir Max Aitken. the Canadian record officer, was trans
 mitted by cable and given out here to-
 night. The account is dated March 3l.
 The writer was accompanied by press
 representatives on his trip from head
 quarters to Neuve Chapelle on the morn
 ing preceding the dash on the strongly fortified village held by the Germans. "In the early morning I came to the cross roads," says the record officer 'The sign post there said, Six kilometres -four miles) to Neuve Chapelle.' This road led almost in a straight line to the trenches that were to be stormed and to the village behind them that was to be captured
 The record officer says he alighted from his motorcycle and went on foot part of the way because the road was black with battalions all headed for Neuve Chapelle.
 Troops in Reserve "These were troops held in reserve" he explains. Those selected for the initial infantry attack already were in the trenches ahead, waiting for the men to advance
 q had just passed the sign post wnen the comparative peace of the morning was shattered by the united roar and crash of hundreds of guns. This broke precisely at 7:3O The exact moment had been fixed beforehand for the beginning of a cannonade more concentrated and more terrific than any previous cannon l., ;,, hfctn of 10 tinued with extraordinary violence for half an hour.
 The German trenches offered little or no reply, for the enemy were covering for shelter from that storm. The Canad- ian division, which was a little farther
 north than Neuve Chapelle. waited in its trenches for the order to advance Received Dispatches The record officer passed on to an- other cross road where he saw famous general stand surrounded by his staff and eceive messages from motor dispatch riders of the progress of the lombard ment.
 "The news was good" he continued. "The general was waiting for the mo- ment when the cannonade should cease and he should unleash his troops Indian infantry passed in review, the recorder related, and added that all the while the bombardment continued British aeroplanes lowered over the German lines. Once a German Taube approached to give battle to the British airmen. "The British machines secured the up- per air and soon we saw that the Taube was done" the recorder said. ''The ma- chine swooped uneasly till, like wound ed bird. 1t streaked down headlong, far in the distance.
 At length the heavy gunfire ceased and we knew that the British troops were rushing from their trenches to deal with the Germans, whose nerve the guns had shaken. Astounded as they were by our artillery fire, the Germans were still mora amazed by the rapidity of the infantry attack. The British soldiers and the In- dians swept in upon them instantly until

large numbers threw down their weapons. scrambled out of their trenches and kneit hands up in token of surrender.
 The fight swept on far beyond the German trenches, through the village and beyond. The big guns occasionally joined in. Now the motor ambulances began to come back bearing the wounded from the front Presently the cheerful sight of German prisoners alternated with the saddening procession of ambulances.'
