LONDON, May S.-The 13.OOO ton White Star liner Cymric which for some time, has been engaged in freight service, has been torpedoed by a German submarine. according to ad- vices received here. One report says that the Cymric was attacked in the Atlantic, and the information of the White Star Company at Liverpool is that the steamer was torpedoed about noon Monday.
 The Cymric left New York April 29 with an enormous cargo of war muni. tions As she usually makes the voy- age from New York to Liverpool in 10 days, she was therefore within a day or two of her destination. It is con. sidered probable in the absence of de finite details. that the disaster to the Cymric occurred off the west coast of Ireland, but whether on the northerly or southerly route cannot be stated.
 The fate of the steamship is not yet known. although an early message re ceived in London reported that the Cymric was sinking. The crew on board numbers about 100 men but the steamer carried no passengers.

 The committee was headed by Miss Lillian D Wald, Rabbi Stephen. $. Wise and Amos R. E. Pinchot. all of New York City. A. A. Berler Of Cam bridge. Mass. and Jno. A. NcSparran, legislative chairman of the National Grange, who presented a memorial setting forth that while the Union did lot stand against sane or req asonable preparedness or for peace at any price. il was convinced that the big army and navy programs were a men ace 10 democracy. The President was informed that these views had been voiced in ten great cities of the Middle West and wet with enthusias- tic endorsement.
 When the spokesman of the delega- ton had supplemented their memorial by brief speeches. the Presiden, re- piled and for an hour listened to and answered their questions.

Re sponsibility in such matters is single. not joint: absolute not relative" Mir Lansins's statement made pub lie after the note was on it's way to Berlin, follows:
 The greater part of the German answer is devoted to matters which this government cannot discuss with the German government. The only questions of right which can be dis cussed with that government are those arising out of it's action or out of our own and in no event those questions which are the subject of diplomatic exchanges between the United States and any other country.
 'The essence of the answer is that Germany yields to our representa- tiOns with regard to the rights of merchant ships and non combatants or ihe high seas. and engages to ob- serve the recognized rules of interna- tioral law governing naval warfare in using her submarines against merchant ships. So long as she lives up to this altered policy we can have no reason to quarrel with her on that score, though the losses resulting from the violation of American rights by German submarine commanders operating under the former policy will have to be settled.

HOUSE REJECTS

Measure for 25O,O00 Regulars May be Cut To 175,000.
 Nitrate Clause Downed.
(6y Rev..w Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. May Senate a. mendments to the army bill again were. rejected today by the House and the measure returned to conference The proposals to empower the Presi- dent to raise the standing army to 250. 1000 men in time of peace. and to raise a federal volunteer army of 26l ,- 900 were rejected flatly by votes of 221 to l42. and 251 10 109. respective ly. while the nitrate plant amendment was substituted by one offered hy Chairman Hay of the House military affairs committee, without record vote
 Substitution of the nitrate plant a. mendment came after hard fight by opponents of the Senate proposal led by Representative LenrOot. republican of Wisconsin. who maintained that the water power lobby" was responsible for it.
 The plant proposed under the Hay amendment would be operated eNclu- sively by the government.
 The initial appropriation for the plant would be $20. .000. .O00 or S5. .00O .00O more than the Senate amendment would have provided. and the money would he raised bv the sale or Pan anna Canal bonds. They would become payable in not more than 70 years.
 Democratic leaders tonight felt opti- mistic over the outlook for settle ment of the nitrate problem. There is some fear. however. that the clause to permit the government to sell the hy products of the proposed plant may rouse the objections of those opposed to government ownership.
 Thirty Democrats voted against the 250. 900 army feature of the bill. The line I'D on it was virtually the same as il had been previous It is believed that the conferees will aEree to some compromise on the standing army feT about 175.OO0 men The House bill originally would have provided for l40. 900.

WINTER WHEAT CROP WILL BE NEAR HALF
 BILLION BUSHELS
Smaller Acreage Prevents Ma ton Eaualling Last Years Record Output. Cold Win ter and Bugs to Blame.
fev Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON. May S-Almost halfa billion bushels is the winter wheat harvest forecast for this year by the Department of Agriculture Tn it's May crop report. That this is 155. 100000 bushels less than harvest ed last year when a worlds record crop was gathered in the United States. but the croD this year is grow ing on much smaller acreage planted last fall. In all 426,OOO acres were abandoned. leaving for harvest 33.030.- 900 acres. which is 7.433, ,0O0 acres les than harvested last year.
 "The heaviest abandonment occur ed" the department reports. 'in the important group of winter wheat stat es extending from Ohio through India na to Illinois where it reached it's maximum intensity and through Wis consin, Minnesota Iowa and Missou- ri. ranging from IS per cent in Ohio and Iowa to 33 per cent in Illinois. This abandonment was due principal " to late seeding on wet and poorly prepared seed bed. followed by a win ter of unusual vigor
 The activity of the green bug during the winter in Texas with severe winter drought caused an abandon ment of 33 per cent of the sOwn acre age in that state
 Present conditions of growth are poorest in the central group of states where winter willing was most severe Mention is made of the presence of the green bug in north central Okla homa. but the parasites of this insect are present also and it is honed will limit the damage it might otherwise do"
