BRITISH LOSE BATTLESHIP.
No Lives Reported Lost When King
Edward VII Strikes q Mine.

London.-Another pang to the Brit.
ish public will be caused by the an
nouncement that the battleship King
Edward VII has been blown up by a
mine. The brief official statement on
the incident does not reveal the scene
OF action and merely says that the dis
aster occurred in a heavy sea, despite
which the entire crew was saved be-
fore the ship went down.
The King Edward VII represented an
investment of near $4,000, 900, and was
one of the finest of the last class Of
predreadnaughts, corresponding in gen.
eral to the American ships of the New
Jersey and Nebraska type, and was
only slightly older than the Natal,
which was sunk by an internal explo-
sion about a week ago.
The sinking of the King Edward
VII was announced by the admiralty

DUPONT PLANT BLOWN UP
Carney's Point, N. j., Explode.
No Cause Is Assigned.

Philadelphia.-Three men were kill
ed and a number injured in an explo-
sion of smokeless powder at the plant
of the Du Pont Powder Works at Car
ney's Point, N. ].
1t had been reported that a large
number of men had lost their lives,
but after an investigation the superin.
tendent said that only three were
dead, and possibly four.
The dead are John Walsh, Nyack.
N. j.; Richard J. Larney, Philadelphia,
and T. Clyde Wynn, address unknown.
The superintendent of the plant said
the victims were employees. but fas
they had no business in that part OF
the works where the explosion &C.
Cured. The property loss is small.
One OF the reports in circulation
was that two men carrying bombs and
fuses had been arrested. H. B. Ian
dis, a representative of the company,
branded all these reports as false
Two tons of powder are said to have
exploded, and the force of the blast
was so great that it lifted a ferryboat,
which was just leaving the dock at
Carney's Point, partly out Of the wa
ter, breaking all the windows and
smashing part of the cabin. The re-
port of the explosion was distinctly
heard in this city, rs miles distant.

TALK UNIVERSAL SERVICE
Gen. Scott Tells House Committee
All Males Between 10 and Fl
Years Should Get Training.

Washington. - Universal military
service in some form in the United
States, possibly the requirement tina.
all men between IS and 81 be given at
least six months training, as a substi-
tute for the voluntary system, was dis
cussed before the House military com.
mittee by Major General Scott, chief of
staff Of the army.
Gen. Scott told the committee that
the United States would need an army
of nearly 2.00O.0 900 men in the event
of var 1t developed during the hear
ings that there are more than 4,000,-
600 men in the United States between
the ages Of IS and 81, and that 700, 900
reach the age Of IS annually.
Short Of a universal military require
ment, Gen. Scott thought the admin
istration's continental army plan Of
fered the most workable solution Of
the nations military problems. II the
plan failed, he said, there was no es-
cape from compulsory service. Every
country in Europe, he added, realized
the truth of this. and England might
better have realized 1t sooner. With
military service imposed on men be-
tween IS and 81 as a patriotic duty,
with nominal pay, he thought it would
cost the nation no more for an ade-
quate force than to maintain its pres
ent establishment.

The result is. in any important case.
that the confused jury GOES out to
find a verdict, taking with them an

will tell them that II they believe other

INDIE MNITY IS OFFERED
New Proposals Received from Germany
Lusitania Case May End Con-
troversy-Tension Lessons.

Washington.-Two communications
from Germany have reached the Unit
ed States. one containing a proposal to
pay an indemnity for the Americans
lost In the Lusitania disaster, which
may bring negotiations on that sub
ject to a conclusion, and the other con-
veying assurances that German sub.
marine commanders operating in the
Mediterranean would not torpedo non.
combatant ships Of any character with.
out warning them and according safe.
ty TO their passengers and crews.
The communications we're delivered
to Secretary Lansing by Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador.
The secretary Immediately sent them
to President Wilson.
Official Washington now considers
that America and Germany at last are
nea a final agreement regarding the
conduct of submarine warfare. Off
cials made no attempt to conceal their
qualification at the attitude Germany
apparently has assumed. 1t is consid-
cred as virtually in harmony with the
American viewpoint.
Tension regarding the entire sub
marine question seemed to have les.
sened considerably. Austria in its re-
ply to the last Ancona note having
assured the United States Of its in
tentions to operate submarines with
due regard for International law and
the principles Of humanity; Turkey
and Bulgaria, 1t is understood. next
will take steps to give such guaran-
tees. 1t is stated authoritatively that
Germany and Austria-H Hungary will
use their influence to accomplish this
end.
The Lusitania controversy, except
for the wording of the agreement to be
entered into, is considered in Teutonic
circles here virtually as being ended.

BRITISH GIVE UP GALLIPOLI
London Reports That Entire Turkish
Peninsula Has Now Been Aban.
doned.-OnIy One Wounded.

London.-The remaining positions
on Gallipoli peninsula held by the al
lies have been abandoned with the
wounding Of only one man among the
British and French, according to a
British official statement.
The news has been expected for
several days, for the retirement Of the
troops from Anzac ana Sulva Bay sew
eral weeks ago left no strategic ad-
vantage to the retention of the tip Of
the peninsula.
Nevertheless. the news will be re-
ceived with a pang of regret by the
people of the British Isles, as we'll as
the colonies.
Renewed activity of various kinds
noted by the Turkish official communi-
cations in the past few days has pre-
sumably been in the nature of prepa-
rations for the final act of the Darda-
nelles tragedy. Turkish official state
ment~ covering that period records in
creasing effectiveness Of the re-en
forced Turkish batteries, which have
been drawing in and concentrating on
the allies remaining positions.
Gen. Sir Charles Monro, according
to the official statement, reports that
only one British soldier was wounded
in the evacuation of the peninsula,
that there were no casualties among
the French and that all the guns were
blown up.
Our casualties amounted to one
member of the British rank and file
wounded.
There were no casualties among the
French.
Gen. Monro states that the accom-
plishment Of this difficult task was due
to Gems. Birdwood and Davies and in
valuable assistance rendered under the
highest difficulties by Admiral Rose

MEX|CANS MURDER
AMERICAN PARTY
6EvENTEEN CITIZENS DRAGGED
FROM TRAIN, ROBBED AND
THEN MASSACRED.
FIRING SQUAD is FACED
Bandit Band Said to Have Been Com.
manded by a Villa General-Amer-
loans Had Assurance Of Safety
From United States.

FL Paso, Texas.-Eighteen persons,
all thought to be Americans returning
from Chihuahua City to reopen mines
at Cusihuiriachic, Chihuahua, have
been taken from a Mexican North.
western train by bandits, stripped and
lined up along the track for execu.
ton, according to a message received
here from Thomas NJ. Holmes, n OF
the party who escaped.
A confirmation of the massacre has
been received here by H. C. Myles,
British vice consul. Mr.. Myles' mes.
sage was from British Consul Scovel
at Chihuahua City. The message
stated that II Americans were killed
after being robbed and stripped OF
their clothing.
1t is supposed the bandits belonged
to the forces of Gen. Jose Rodriguez,
a Villa supporter, known to be ope-
rating in Chihuahua against the de
facto government of Mexico.
Almost Immediately after the first
news was received a censorship was
imposed on the wires between Juarez
and chihuahua City by the Carranza
officials. This action was taken, it
was said, until the story could be ver-
fled from official Mexican sources"
According to the brief messages re-
ceived here the train bearing the
Americans was stopped by the ban
dts about so miles west of Chihuahua
City. Holmes was said to have been
on the extreme end of the line, and as
the firing squad took position, 1t is
reported, he broke away and fled into
the desert. With feet and body cut
and bleeding from tones and sharp
cactus, he ran until he no longer
heard the whistle of bullets pass him.
He succeeded in reaching friendly
Mexicans, it is reported, and was aid
ed back to Chihuahua City.
The first news Of the bandit raid
was received here through a cryptic
telegram from Holmes to officials Of
the smelling company asking them to
notify his wife that he had reached
Chihuahua City and was safe. Wheth.
err he was prevented from sending fur.
Their information or supposed news OF
the occurrence already had reached
Ell Paso is not known.
His message aroused anxiety con.
corning the fate of the other men
known to have left Chihuahua City for
Cusihuiriachick and before the cen
sorship was imposed they succeeded
in getting into communication with
mining men in Chihuahua City who
furnished the brief details of the at.
tack.
The Americans, 1t was said, were
sent to reopen the mines on assurance
Of protection to the smelling company
given by the Carranza government
through the United States State De.
partment.
News of the raid caused consterna.
ton here.

WAR HAS ITS LIGHTER SIDE
British Soldiers Quick to Seize Oppor
tunlty to Have a Little Fun When
Occasion Offered.

Eyen in their odd moments Of lei.
grim battles of the trenches appear in
a dramatic light. What could be more
pathetic, considering the fate that
awaits many of those concerned. than
this bit of horseplay. which is de-
scribed in an officers letter in Great
Deeds of the Great War.
Many thanks for the parcel. The
mouth organs arrived when we were
resting and were billeted in a very
large winery. We formed up a band
and marched round the building. We
had all sorts of instruments in the
band; the big drum was an empty
packing case, and the drumstick an in
trenching tool handle with a piece of
sacking tied round the end; empty bis
cult tins were side drums; tin whis-
ties, squeakers and combs and paper
came in as well.
Candles and electric lamps gave
the illumination, and it was really
very funny to see this band of about
thirty marching round the building,
headed by the self-appointed drum ma
1or and conductor in a goatskin, twirl-
ing a big stick that | use in feeling my
way to and from the trenches. After
marching round once or twice, we
formed upfn q ring in the middle and
had vocal and instrumental turns I'M
til our feet began to get cold, when
we had another march round. OF
course it was all very silly, but we en-
joyed the fun"

His Job.

There was once a rich but very
mean old lady who paid her servants
as little as possible, and kept very
few.
One of her staff was a thin, very
misunderstanding lad of twelve. who
answered the door, did the knives and
the windows, waited at table, weeded
the garden, washed the poodle and
had the rest of the Tina to himself.
One visitor asked him:
We'll, my boy, and what do you
do here?"
Il do a butler and a gardener out Of
a job" snapped the lad, sourly.
