London, May 31.-German sub
marines have been unusually busy
while the German foreign office was
engaged in the preparations OF it's an
swer to the Washington note on the
Lusitania incident. The last few days.
it is pointed out in London, provided
them with a heavy bag Of big mer-
chant ships. These include the
steamer Ethiope, 300 tons. and the
Tullochmoor. $500 tons, which were
sunk by submarines Friday in the ap-
proaches of the English channel. On
Saturday the big British steamer Ping
Suey, belonging to the Holt line, was
attacked twice by a German undersea
boat within the space of five hours,
but she succeeded in escaping into
Plymouth, England. Another victim
was the steamer Glenlyee, Of 1000
tons, which was sunk somewhere be-
tween the British and French coast re-
Gently. In the North sea a German
submarine sank the Russian steamer
Mars few days ago, and the losses
of the British steamers Stennymoor,
and Cadeby also have been reported.
Thus within the space of three days
six ships of considerable size have
been sent to the bottom by German
submarines and six lives have been
lost. Furthermore, the transatlantic
liner Megantic had narrow escape
from an attack by q German sub
marine.
London observers are drawing at
tention to these cases particularly In
connection with the presentation Of the
German note.
Allies Gain in West.
The lull along the western battle
front has been broken by the French
who, claim to have taken o group OF
German trenches in the Pilkelm re-
gion and to have made good progress
north of Arras. With the British CO.
operation they appear to have made
Slight progress north of LaBassee.
After repeated and costly repulses
the Germans for the time being seem
to have abandoned their attacks to
take Ypres. During the past week the
Germans have made slight gains In
the neighborhood of Salient.
Except for the news Of the move
ments of warships which appear to
be searching for German submarine
bases, little government information
has come to hand from the Dar-
danelles.
Certain dispatches by way Of Athens
claim that many lines Of Turkish
trenches Of the Gallipoli peninsula
have been taken during the last week.
The situation along the river San
in the vicinity of Przemysl appears for
the moment to be unchanged.

Harold Bauer and Pablo Casals gave

his individuality. The New York pub

quered the exploitation OF the ego and
have thereby accomplished unity as
beautiful as il is serene.
