An interesting point that he made,

Of departing from the voluntary system
Of military enlistment and resortinr to

hands OF the War Off1ce were filled with
the men they possessed, but it might
be necessary to reconsider the situation
in the light of the tremendous neces-
sites with which the nation was con-
fronted.
This appears to confirm the idea pre-
valent here that, while recruiting has

in Flanders shows that many more men

Thus far, British troops, according TO
Field Marshal Sir John French, have
withstood all the German onslaughts
and while at times they have been COM
pclled to give some ground, their coun-
tcrattacks have brought them back to
the position from which they started
However, this has been costly. for the
German artillery bombardment has been
severe, and counterattacks always are
followed by heavy casualties.
In their attempt last fall to reach
Calais the Germans continued their
dttacks for six weeks, but the allied
force was much weaker then, and the
Germans did not meet the counter
offensives they now meet in the west
FRENCH REPORT CAPTURE
of STRONG POSITIONS
OF these the most important is that
the French are carrying out from Arras
to the point where their line joins the
British, and in which they continue to
meet with unvarying success. They re-
port again to-day the capture-which
the Germans admit-of strongly forti-
fed positions, and one road at least
which the Germans have been using to
bring up re-enforcements to their po-
sitions near La Bassee. Therefore, 1t

will tighten the pressure the Germans
are bringing to hear on tho British

DARING RAID BY SUBMARINE
English Undersea Boat E-14 De-
stroys Two Turkish Gunboats and
Large Turkish Transport In Sea

LONDON. May l3-The British bat
tleship Goliath has been torpedoed In
the Dardanelles. with probable loss
Of more than 500 lives, and two Turk
ish Gunboats and Turkish transport
have been sunk in the Sea of Marmora
by, the British submarine ELI. which
penetrated tho Dardanelles.
This announcement was made in the
House of Commons to-day by Winston
Spencer Churchill. First Lord of the
Admiralty. who added that twenty Of
ficers and 100 men OF the Goliath's
crew were saved. Mr.. Churchill said:
The Goliath was torpedoed last
night in n torpedo attack by destroyers
while protecting the French flank just
inside the strait.
Twenty officers and 100 men were
saved. which. l fear. means that over
500 were lost
Tho admiral commanding at the
Dardanelles also telegraphs that tho
submarine Ella, which. with so much
daring. penetrated TO the Sea of Mar
mora. has reported that she sank two
Turkish gunboats and a large Turkish
transport"
The Goliath was one of the older
British battleships OF the pre-Dread-
nought type. She was built In 1898.
Her complement was $50 mon. She
was 400 feet long on the water line,
displaced 12.950 tons. and was armed
with four twelve-inch and twelve six
inch guns. twelve twelve FOUNDERS, six
three FOUNDERS. two machine guns and

RELEGATES SHERMAN
LAW TO JUNK PILE

Washington. June 3.-The depart
ment of justice received the announce
ment Of the decision in the Steel
Corporation case with dismay. At
torney General Gregory Immediately
telegraphed for complete summaries
Of both the ma torty and minority
opinions The case will, of course,
be carried up TO the United States
Supreme Court.
Officials of the department of Justice
did not hesitate TO say that in their
opinion the Sherman antitrust law
practically will be relegated to the
category OF dead letter statute IL
the decision handed down by the Cir
cult Court at Trenton and other re-
cent decisions in big antitrust cases
are sustained by the Supreme Court.
The suit against the Steel Corpora
ton was one of the most important
ever brought under the Sherman act.
Department of Justice officials contend
that on the outcome of this. and other
antitrust cases which are now pend
ing ON appeal. will depend the future
success of the enforcement of the law.
They say that IL the opinion handed
down at Trenton and others recently
delivered against the government are
sustained, the enforcement of the law
in the way which the department of
| justice deems necessary in order to
obtain practical results will be almost
/ impossible.
Fifth Decision OF Kind.
The steel decision is the fifth of a
| list of decisions staggering TO the gov
| ernment's Interpretation of the Sher-
man law. All of the decisions have
been handed down in comparatively
| short time. They are the steamship
cases. the United Shoe Machinery
case. the National Cash Register case
| the Keystone Watch case. and the
| Steel Corporation case.
| Although department of justice Of
| ficials expressed this. pessimistic- view
/ in regard to recent decisions 1t il

as weaker than that against any oil

to what has been regarded as the
