TURKS SINK BATTLESHP;
500 BRITISH SAILORS Die
Third English Battleship to be Lost
In Dardaneues Is Sent to Bot
tom by Turkish Torpedo.

The British bAttleship Goliath has
been torpedoed in the Dard2nelles.
# is feared 500 lives have been lost.
The Goliath was one OF the oloer
British battleships Of the pre-dreao-
nought type. She was built in 1928.
Her complement was 750 men. She
was 400 feet long on the water line,
displaced 12,3oO tons, and was arm
ed with four 12-inch and II 6-lnch
guns; twelve 12-pounders, six j.
Founders, two machine guns and four
torpedo tubes.
The Goliath is the third British
battleship whose loss in the Dar-
danelles attack has been announced
by the British government. Loss Oh
the Irresistible and Ocean was an
nounced March 10. On April a
wireless dispatch from Berlin said
the British battleship Lord Nelson
also had been destroyed. That re-
port was not confirmed.
The statement Of the first lord OF
the admiralty reads: "The Goliath
was torpedoed Wednesday night in a
torpedo action by destroyers while
protecting the tlencu lldnh Just AZ
side the straits.
Twenty officers and one hundred
and sixty men were saved, which, |
fear, means that over five hundred
were lost.

ANTEGERMAN OUTBREAKS;
BRITONS WRECK SHOPS
London Reports Renewed Violence

Anti-Germen riots in the east end

than on the days preceding. Wher-

The police force has been so thlI-
ned by drafts sent to the army that IT
had difficulty in dealing with the
angry crowds. Special constables had
to be called out.
Anti-German outbreaks Of part!cu-
lar severity occurred in the neishbor-

or seventy German shops were wreck

German establishments were sack

The police in some cases were de-

Germans. When proprietors OF Ger

BERLIN IS C0NCILIATORY;
WASHINGTON IS HOPEFUL
Well Informed Diplomats See Signs
Of Arbitration Offer With Suspen-
pension of Submarine Warfare.

Without word from Ambassador
| Gerard as to Germany's attitude to-
ward the recent American note. Off
ciaI Washington attaches significance
| to intimations in diplomatic quarters
friendly to Germany that the reply
might contain an offer to suspend at
tacks without warning on merchant
ships, if the United States would re-
new its informal proposals for unre-
stricted passage Of foodstuffs to Ger
man civilians.
Well Informed European diplomats
asserted that Germany most certainly
would offer to settle the question at
issue by arbitration or diplomacy
with an agreement to abandon sub
marine warfare while the discussion
was in progress.
Officials have been reticent in dis
cussing the idea of arbitration or a
proposal with reference to foodstufs,
but it is indicated that the situation
has progressed toward the point
where the United States would not be
likely to be satisfied with any condi-
tional acquiescence in the American
position. 1t was intimated, however,
that if Germany accepted the Ameri-
can point of view, the national ten
dency of the United States of its own
initiative would be strongly to press
it's contention on the right to ship
foo6stuffs to Germany.
There is a likelihood, too, that
some understanding might be reached
through the medium of the American
government whereby Germany could
be assured definitely that no mer-
chant ships leaving the United States
would be armed, making it possible
for submarine commanders to eXer-
else the right Of visit and search with
impunity. Whether Great Britain
would consent to disarm all her mer-
chant vessels carrying contraba1d,
however. IS a matter of conjecture.
That the question of permitting
Americans to travel on armed mer-
chantmen may be taken under con-
sideration soon is intimated in we'll
informed quarters. On the other
hand, some officials believe there will
be little necessity for. this, as Great
Britain already has informally agreed
not to arm her vessels plying between
British and American ports.
What is regarded as one OF the
hopeful signs in the general situation
is the confidence reflected in official
and diplomatic quarters that Ger
many will meet the United States at
least halfway, and. will suspend for
the time being her submarine attacks
without warning during the diplo-
matte correspondence.
In. this connection there has been
much comment over the recent an
nouncements from London that Great
Britain did not understand from Ger
many's answer last March that the
principle of submarine warfare
would be abandoned. It was noted
that the same misunderstanding arose
when the German and British replies
were received to the American pro-
posal for the abandonment BY Ger
many of submarine warfare and the
use of mines in return for American
supervision of the distribution Of
foodstuffs if England agreed to their
unrestricted passage to Germany
when consigned to civilians.

HAS NO INFORMATION
German Embassy Says it Does Not
Know What Reply Will Be.

Although the German embassy an
nounced In a statement that 1t had
no information to the reply the Ger
man government would make to tho
American note, tension over the Sit
uation was diminished somewhat in
Austro- German quarters because OF
the belief that Germany, being desi-
rous of preserving friendly relations
with the United States, probably
would find some way Of meeting the
American governments position with
out developing crisis.
Count Won Bernstortf took occasion
to communicate to the state depart
ment a formal denial Of published re-
ports that the embassy had intimated
that Germany in her answer would
refuse to comply with the requests Of
the United States.

MAY FORCE ENLISTMENT
Great Britain May Have to Enforce
Universal Military Service.

Viscount Haldane, lord high chan
cellor, in the house of lords intl-
mated that the government was con-
sidering the necessity Of departing
from the voluntary system of military
enlistment and resorting to universal
service throughout the kingdom. For
the present, he said, the hands of the
war office were filled with the men
they possessed, but it might be neces-
sary to reconsider the situation in
the light Of the tremendous necessi-
ties with which the nation was con-
fronted.
This appears to confirm the idea
prevalent in London that while re-
cruiting has been satisfactory tie
heavy fighting in Flanders shows that
many more men will be required II
victory is to be attained.

COLUMBIA fAVOR|TE
IN COLLEGE REGATTA
New York Grew Expected TO Beat
Tigers and Penn.

Princeton. N. j., May S.-Columbia
is the favorite here for today's tri-
angular regatta between Columb ia,
Princeton, and Pennsylvania. The
showing the Blue and White oarsmen
made in their practice on Lake Car
negie yesterday did much to strength
en- the impression already current that
Coach Rice's eight is by far the
smoothest combination Of the three
entrants. Rice, however, is not dis
playing overconfidence. He is sure
he has good crew, but he is equally
certain that he has two strong OPP
pcnents in Princeton and Penn.
Pennsylvania had two rows on Lake
Carnegie. Both in the morning and
afternoon they showed up good deal
better than they. did Thursday, but
It is still the general belief that Vivian
NickalIs men are below Princeton and
Columbia in form. The Quakers, how
ever. have rugged and strong eight,
and this fact may serve to make up
for what they lack in Workmanship.
Princeton had its last workout late
in the afternoon, both the varsity and
freshman crews taking an easy paddle
over the course. DIR. Spaeth, coach of
the Tiger crews, had nothing to say
about the prospects Of his charges,
but 1t is believed that Princeton has
the best crew in recent years, and
that Columbia will have the hardest
kind of struggle to defeat the
Orange and Black boat.
I'VE are rowing two goods crews to-
day said Rice, they're husky ones,
and hard to beat, but we will be there
at the finish We have had a deal of
trouble with the smooth water and
the buoyancy caused by the shallow
ress Of the lake, but those things

and asserts that neither he nor owners

Spring field, respectively. were given a
square deal.
Accuses O'Rourke of "Double Cross
When President O'Ruurxe submit
ted the evidence to Secretary Farrell
of the National Board. he stated that
all of the club owners were unani-
nous for six club league. Accord
ing to Cameron, Presiden, O'Rourke
made a grave error by making a
statement to that effect as the local
man claims he had Instructed the
league executive, who held Cameron s
proxy, to put motion before the di-
rectorate favoring merger with the
four best clubs in the New England
league and Eastern ASSOCIATION. The
matter pertaining to merger was not
discussed at the meeting in question
and O'Rourke later notified Cameron
of this fact. Now Cameron claims
that O'Rourke told a deliberate lie ir
stating that the former was strongly
in favor of a six club league.
Will Fight for His $4,000.
Cameron last night declared thai
in his opinion, the basenaIi court liz q
huge joke. II paid ten thousand colo
dollars for the New Haven franchise,
continued Cameron, "and'I do not ex
pect to see it stolen from me. an
still the owner of the New Haver
franchise, and 1 believe the courts viii

nounced that he will make an officia
announcement today regarding the
plans of the league for the season.
I'VE are not ready to announce oui
plans yet" he declared. II will make
an official announcement tomorrow
which will tell the fans just where
