ADMITS THAT STATEMENT ABOUT
WILSON AND BRYAN MADE
WITHOUT AUTHORITY.

Washington, D. c., March 26.-Col-
onel Roosevelt has not accepted the In
vitation to testify before the senate
ship bill lobby committee. He says
he has no information on the subject
under investigation except such as Is
available to the public generally.
Chairman Walsh called conference
today to decide whether to issue sub
pocna for the colonel
The conference of senators decided
the colonel would not be called, but
that a telegram from him would be
put into the committees record.
The particular statement of Colonel
Roosevelt which leads to the request
for his appearance was that President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, have en-
deavored in the interest of certain
foreign business firms, to secure for
the United States the power to pur-
chase the interned ships of one of the
belligerents.'
In the telegram received today the
colonel said that he had no informa-
ton except what appeared in the con-
gressional debates and testimony be-
fore committees. The senators con-
cluded it was unnecessary to insist on
his appearance.
A subpoena was issued for Sidney E..
Morse, Of New York, secretary of the
transatlantic passenger conference.
With his testimony the senate inquiry
will close and the committee Will re-
port to the next congress.

Dreaded German Submarines is
at Bottom Says British Report
ADM lRALTY MAKES ANNOUNCE.
MENT THAT U.2e HAS FINAL
LY BEEN DESTROYED.

London, March 26-"The admiralty
has good reason to believe that the
German submarine U-29 has been sunk
with all hands,
This report given out by the official
news bureau last night, caused great
Joy to London and relief to shipping
circles, as 1t referred to one of the
largest and swiftest of the German
undersea boats and the one which Is
credited with having caused the great
est damage since the undersea block
ade of the British islands by the Ger
mans was started.
The statement does not mention
how or where the submarine was des-
troyed.
It was the U-29 which just fort
night ago torpedoed six steamers in
Bristol channel and of the Scilly Is
lands within two days. The COM
mander, Lieutenant Otto Weddigen,
was one of the German naval heroes
because of his exploits.
Lieutenant Weddigen spoke English
perfectly and treated the crews Of
the torpedoed vessels with great con-
sideration. He told one of the mer-
chant captains, who was taken on
board, that he was the commander of
the submarine which torpedoed the
British cruisers Aboukir, Cressy and
Hogue.
These cruisers we're sunk last Sep
tember by the U-9, which at that time

desperate by a situation they did not

innocent of any intentional wrong and
only asked for fair treatment, which

Of the American people and sincerely
hoped they would receive it.

London, March 26.-As has been
predicted by military observers since
the fall of Przemysl, Russia is now d.
recting her chief offensive against the
Austrian front on the Carpathians. In
the north between the Niemen and
the Vistula rivers the Russian forces
are making little effort to advance,
evidently being content to hold Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg in check, but
desperate fighting Is taking place in
the Carpathians, whore the Russians
are thrusting back the Austrians
along the Dukla and Uzsok line.
Unoffi cial reports via Bucharest
credit Russia with great victory at
Uzsok, while Petrograd officially
claims an important success in the
capture of fortified positions near the
Lupkow pass These formidable po-
sitions were taken by storm, with the
Austrians losing machine guns and
over five thousand prisoners. Unof-
ficia reports also credit the Russian
army with further successes in BukO-
wilma. Vienna admits the Importance
Of the Russian offensive in the noun
tain passes, but at the same time de-
clares the fierce attacks on these po-
sitions have been repulsed.

exploits opened the eyes Of the whole
world to the possibilities Of the sub
marine as an effective arm of naval
warfare. Lieutenant Weddigen was
decorated by the Austrian emperor for
his feats and received many congrat-

This makes the sixth German sub

at least have been sunk by British
war ships since the outbreak of the
war, and in only one case has the
British report been denied by the Ger

Fatal Accidents

Washington, D. c., March 26.
Until now the United States
navy has been fortunate with
it's submarines. Not life has
been lost in their operation.
although some of the ships
have had minor accidents.
Several years ago one Of the
earlier type of submarines was
submerged off Newport, r. l.,
for twelve hours and grave
fears were entertained but she
reached the surface with the
crew in good condition.
American submarines have
one feature Of construction in
tended to meet such an emerg-
ency as confronts the F-4. On
their outer skin are large eyes
into which graphing hooks, be-
ing trailed from rescue ships
on the surface, may catch and
the sunken craft may be hauled
into shallow water or to the
surface.
The waters Of Honolulu har-
Dor, where the F-4 lies, have
volcanic rock formations at
their bottom, with tall sharp
peaks and deep narrow
pockets. The fear is that the
F-4 may have fallen into one
of these.
The F-4 was fitted with the
latest improved air locks in
her coming tower, enabling
her men to escape and rise to
the surface in as much as thir-
ty fathoms of water. The fact
that none has appeared leads
to the belief that the boat lies
much deeper.

The proposed measure limits the
amount Of cheaper material to Copper
cent. The only way to control the
proportion Of the mixture would be
to have all the mixing done under7an
inspector of the government or-t9
have all the mixed samples analysed
If one miller began the practice Of
mixing, all he others would be forced
to follow suit. Inasmuch as there are
10000 flour mills in the country, il is
easy to see that there would be no
means available of controlling oFIreT
stricting the mixing processes. Adult
Grafton would run riot throughout
the land. Even II proper labelling
could be enforced, it would be no pro-
lection whatever to the consumer.
The labeled barrel, or bag, is not

sumers out of every ten win eat the
