SINK SIX SHIPS
IN Three DAYS
(By Associated Press)

London, May 81. 1.-German sub
marines have been unusually busy
while the German foreign office was
engaged in the preparation of its
answer to the United States note on
the Lusitania incident. Within
space of at least three days six ships
of considerable size had been sent to
the bottom and six lives have been
lost. In addition the Trans-Atlan-
tic Line Megantic had a narrow es-
cape from an attack by German
submarine. British Observers are
drawing attention to these cases par
ticularly in connection with the pre-
sentation of the German note.
The lull along the western battle
front has been broken by the Frencf
who claim they have taken groul
of German trenches in the Pilkein
region. They have made progres
north of Arras.
The situation along the River Sal
in the vicinity of Przemysl appear
for the moment unchanged. Excep
for news of movement of war snip
which appear to be searching 10
German submarine bases there is III
tie definite information from tn

Washington, May 81. 1.-The Pres

There is pessimism and high ten

other matters. The official text is
