EFFORT TO END WAR EXPORTS
Case Of Wisconsin Manufactured Of
Shrapnei She'll Involves
Foreign Policy.

Washington. May 3.-The applica-
ion of state power In a m hat
will have a bearing on the interna-
tional relations of the United States
has again been raised by the action
brought against the Allis-C Chalmers
company of Milwaukee.
Under the so-called discovery"
statute, Samuel Pearson, of Wisconsin,
files a complaint to determine whether
or not this company and the Bethle-
hem Steel company can ship shrapnel
shell to European ~belligerents con-
trary to the Wisconsin law.
Inasmuch as the administration has
declared that to prevent the shipment
of munitions Of war to the belliger-
ents would be an %unneutral act, action
by a state government in opposition
to this policy would be equivalent to
the exercise OF sovereign power of gov
ermment and would constitute the
state Of Wisconsin as the American
agency for dealing with foreign affairs
affecting the country as a whole.

AMERICAN GUNS
SHOOT FARTHER
NAvY'S 14-iNCH RIFLES HIT HARD.
Err THAN ANY GUN
KNOWN.
DANIELS ANSWERS CRITICS
Declares Weapons on the B~attIe.hip
Pennsylvania Superior to Those
Carried by British Drsadnaught
Queen Elizabeth.

Washington, May 4.-Critics who
claim the American nayy's l4-inch
rifles are inferior to the French type
mounted on the great British battle
ship Queen Elizabeth were answered
In a statement just issued by Secre-
tary Daniels, declaring that the Blu
reau OF Ordnance has developed a IA
inch gun that will shoot farther, shoot
s%traighter and hit harder than any gun
foreign country"
While ~conceding that the Queen Eli.
zabeth's guns throw larger shells, Mr..
Daniels points out that she carries
only eight of the 15-inch rifles, COM
pared with a main battery of twelve
l4-inch weapons on the United States
battleship Pennsylvania.
14-Inch Gun Better.
"A ship should mount the smallest
big gun that will pierce the enemy's
armor over vitals at the maximum
probable fighting range" says the Sec
retary's statement.
THE 14-inch guns OF the Pennsyl-
vania will get through the maximum
armor afloat, so far as our knowledge
goes, at n range of 10000 yards. The
Queen Elizabeth's 15-inch guns will do
little more than them. III our iuforma-
ton is correct as to the velocity of
the British IS inch gun, the 14inch
guns on the Pennsylvania will range
a little farther than the Queen Eli
zabeth's 15-inch gun. The flatter pro-
lection Of the 14-inch gun gives it in-
creased probability of hitting In com.
parison with the 15-inch gun.
Pennsylvania Has IL Guns.
The Pennsylvania mounts IL guns
to the Queen ~Elizabeth's 8. Therefore.
the volume of fire of our ship exceeds
the volume Of fire for the British ship
by 80 per cent. The Navy Depart
ment has built and proved a 16-inch
gun superior to both the 15-inch and
14-inch so far as penetration of armor
at fighting range is concerned. III the
Pennsylvania were to be armed with
the 16-inch u she could carry only
eight as against the twelve 14-inch
guns now assigned her. Ii We adopt
the 15-inch caliber we would have to
make a sacrifice in number of guns
as great or nearly as great, as was
done In the design Of the Queen Eliz

Take 500 Prisoners.

London, May 3.-After serious fight
Ing in which the Turks offered a stub
born resistance, British troops, accord
ing to an official statement just issued,
have established themselves ON the
Gallipoli peninsula and advanced a
considerable distance toward the mar
rows of the Dardanelles, where the
French have cleared Cape Kun Kaleh
on the Asiatic side of Turkey.
1t may be said that the second and
most serious attempt to force the OAR
danelies has been fairly launched.
The Turks, under the guidance Of
their German officers, placed every OBJ
stacle in the way of the invaders, but
against the fire of the Allied feet and
the gallantry of the army they were
forced TO fai! back, The British forces
lost heavily in the operation.
Land ut Six Points.
Six points were selected for the
landings, which commenced at day
light. At five points they were i'm
mediately successful, but at the sixth,
neal Seddul Bahr, the troops were I'M
able to advance until the evening. The
British troops disembarked at the ex-
treme emo OF the peninsula. They
reached Krithia, which is on the road
which runs along the peninsula and
over which they will join their COM
rades from the oversee dominions and
attack the forts guarding the narrows
in the rea
The French took possession Of Cape
Kaleh after they had previously at
tackled toward Yeni-Shahr, to the south
on the Asia Minor coast.
Fleet Covers Landing.
While this was proceeding, the fleet.
besides covering the landing of the
troops, kept up a bombardment of the
forts in the Dardanelles and prevented
re-enforcements from reaching Turkey
from the Sea or Marmora. One Turk
ish troop ship was sunk by the British
b~attleship Queen Elizabeth, which is
big guns across the peninsula, directed
by airmen. The troop ship was sunk
of Maidos, a town well inside the mar
rows. which latter the battleship Tri-
umph bombarded and set on fire.
Allies Capture 500 Men.
The official o or the landing
of the Allied troops does not bear out
the over-optimistic reports from Gre
elan towns which preceded it and
which mentioned thousands of prison
ers as having been captured. the total
of men taken by the Allies having been
given as 500. These were cut off by
the fire of the ships. Neither does the
report mention operations off Smyrna
nor in the Gulf of Saros, against the
Bulair line of forts. but 1t is certain
that these points are being watched to
present re-enforcements reaching the
Turks.

INCREASE PAY Of
$4,000 RAIL MEN
ARBITRATION AWARD AFFECTING
EMPLOYEES OF 80 WESTERN
ROADS IS SIGNED.
BOARD CHAIRMAN EXPLAINS
Pritchard States Certain Branches Are
Entitled to Greater Advances
Than Granted-Brotherhood
Brands Action as Failure.

Chicago, May 3.-An arbitration
award, advancing to some extent the
rates of pay Of $4,000 locomotive en-
gineers, firemen and hostlers employed
on the 40, 900 miles of line of SO west
ern railroads in the great area of the
United States and Canada bounded on
the east by the Illinois Central and the
Great Lakes, has been signed here.
A dissenting opinion was filed on be-
half OF the Brotherhood of Enginemen,
in which the arbitration was branded
as a failure and the Newlands law
under which it was arranged an in
adequate device for the settlement of
industrial disputes. The award, eff
fective May 10, and binding for one
year only, was frankly declared as
merely ~postponing for IL months the
actual settlement of the differences in
volved. The railroad members of the
board issued a formal statement criti-
cizing features of the regulations gov
erning the arbitration and remarking
that certain concessions regarded as
~intrinsicly unjust were made for the
sake of preserving peace with the EN-.
ployes.
Board Chairman Explains.
Judge Peter G. Pritchard, of Rich
mond, Va, chairman of the board, ex
planned his position, and stated that
while in his opinion the men in certain
branches of the service were entitled
to greater advances than were grant
ed, he had to make concessions i n
order that an award might be made
and he found much of a hopeful nature
in the award.
Charles Nagel, of st. Louis. former
secretary of commerce and labor, who,
with Judge P%ritchard, represented the
board OF mediation and Cancellation on
the arbitration board, was the only
member who issued no statement.
The brotherhoods were represented
on the board by F. A. Burgess, of
Louisville, KY, assistant grand chief
engineer of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers. and Timothy Shea,
OF Peoria, ILL.,, vi~ce-president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen. The railroad mem.
