SHIELD FOR SUBMARINE
German Underwater Graft Hid Be-
hind American Steamer

Liverpool. July BLOW an Ameri-
can ship is alleged ito have been used
as a shield by German submarine
for the sinking of another vessel is
1elated by the members of the Ameri-
can bark Normandy, which has arriy-
ed here from Gulfport, Miss.
The story is that the Normandy was
stopped by a German submarine sixty
miles southwest of Tuskar Rock off
the southeast coast of Ireland, Friday
night. The captain was called
aboard the submarine, where his pa
pers were examined and found to
show that his ship was chartered by
an American firm Jan. s.
The captain Of the bark it was as
serted, was allowed to return TO the
Normandy, but under the threat that
his ship would be destroyed unless he
stood by and obeyed orders. These or
ders, ii was stated were that he was
to act as a shield for the submarine,
which lay around the side of the bark
hiding itself from an approaching yes
sci.
This vessel proved to be the Rus
sian steamer Leo. Presently the sub
marine submerged and proceeded
around the bow Of the Normandy, so
the story went, and ten minutes later
the crew of the Normandy saw the
Leo blown up.
Twenty-Five persons were on board,
Of whom eleven were drowned, in
Guiding three stewardesses Those
saved included three Americans, Wal
ter Emery of North Carolina, Harry
Clark of Sierra, and Harry Whitney
OF Camden. n j. All these men
when interviewed corroborated the
above story. They declared that no
opportunity was given those on board
the Leo for saving their lives.
The Leo was bound from Philadel-
phia to Manchester with general
cargo.
The captain of the Normandy told
The survivors that he would have lik.
ed to signal their danger to them. but
that he dared not do 50, because his
uninsured ship would then have been
instantly sunk.

New York, July 1S-Thomas A. Ed

Navy Daniels his acceptance of an in
vitation to head an advisory board Of
civilian inventors and engineers for
bureau OF invention and develop
ment which the secretary intends to
create in the Navy Department
In announcing that he would gladly
accept the Secretary's invitation, Mr.
Edison said last night that he bellev-

the war in Europe was bringing be-
fore the public the Importance of en-
couraging and developing ideas and
inventions of Americans. especially
officers and men of the army and
navy.
The United States is far behind in
these Matters said Mr. Edison. 81
believe it is highly important for
board of civilians made up of engn-
GERS from leading industries. to be
formed for the purpose of looking in
to the feasibility of ideas developed
by young men. While all ideas that
will be submitted may not be feasible,
te least they will have the benefit of
expert judgement and advice.
I'M addition to the Advisory Board
of Engineers | would suggest also
a department of experimentation,
where ideas might be tried out. The
cost would be nominal. Only a few
acres of land would be required, with
proper buildings and corps of eff
cient men calculated to carry ont ex-
periments under the direction of
those suggesting them after they.
have been approved.
1T is an important matter and
should be put under way at once
The European war has served to
draw attention to the fact that
many American ideas and inventions
have been allowed to slip by, and if
this matter is put off until the war is
over there is danger of it being for.

Washington, July 12-On top of the
announcement that Mexico City had

news came to the State Department
this evening that the Villista troops
had again assumed the offensive and
We're marching in the direction of the

following statement;
1T is reported in a telegram dated
July TO- from San Luis Potosi that a

The significance of this movement
of the Vilistas is thoroughly apprecia
ted by persons here who are informed
as to the Mexican situation. 1t means,
they say, that Villa is attempting to
get to Mexico City by the route that
is easiest and it is believed that he
has a prospect of success. According
to the state department dispatch Vii

he was defeated some time ago by

Obliged to withdraw its forces from
the capital and send them northward
to meet the advancing Villista army.
