Anolo-French Offensive.

In the western theatre, Anglo French
armies, like those of their Russian ally
are doing most of the attacking, but
latterly without apparently making any
further progress, although they claim
to have repulsed German attacks which
were delivered in an effort to regain
lost ground.
The sinking of the German subma-
rine US, as officially announced today
makes the fourth of these vessels to be
sunk by British warships since the be-
ginning of the war. the others being
the U-I5, the U-18 and one rammed by
the destroyer Badger off the Belgian
coast. 1t is believed that a French de-
stroyer also sank one, and the captains
of two British merchantmen are claim
ing the prizes offered for the first mer-
chant captain to account for a hostile
submarine. The claim Of the captain
of the steam collier Thordis. in connec-
ton with which the admiralty says he
probably sank a submarine. is being
disputed by the captain of the steamer
Alstow, who says he previously sank
one.
There is no news tonight Of the naval
operations in the Dardanelles.

SNYDER
ON The
CARPET

Criticising the report of Build
Ing Inspector Snyder this week
to the effect that several
public schools and number of
private ones, including the Annie
Wright seminary, are in danger
GUS condition in case of fire, the
city council today received heat
ed letter from James NJ. Kean,
secretary of the seminary.
The seminary official declared
that Snyder's report was unjusti-
fled, and that he had shown either
an unfamiliarity with his work or
a desire to injure the school.
Two years ago the school
bought new fire escapes and had
them installed under Inspector
Snyder's direct supervision. After
the installation, Snyder is said to
have approved the fire escape
system. Recently changes and
improvements were made in the
escapes, and Snyder again APP
proved, offering no criticism at
the time of the schools fire pro-
tCStioh SyotCiu, says hccH'
Hot Criticism.
The building has existed for
80 years without fire, accord
ing to Keen, and is equipped with
all modern fire-fighting and fire
escape apparatus. Fire drills are
held regularly. Keen says that
automatic sprinklers, such as Sny-
der insists upon, are not used in
any school building in the world.
Snyder came in for further
criticism today when it was shown
that plans for the Central school,
approved by him and on file in his
office, specified clearly that a
Pection of the basement was to be
used as a garage, in direct vio-
lation of city ordinance.
Mothers Protest.
Sixteen mothers of Fern Hill,
members of the Fern Hill Study
club, wrote to the council today,
saying that the Fern Hill school
was unsafe, and demanding fire
protection for the building.
Doors in the rooms occupied by
primary departments are SO tight
that the children cannot open
them. and they all open inwardly,
the mothers say.
On the larger building of the
school, fire escapes are of wood,
and would prove Intellectual in
case of fire, the mothers say. The
complaint was written by Mrs.
Luella b. Peterson, secretary.
