St. Paul, Minn., July 1S.-Delegates to the national prohibition convention learned today that the triangular con- test for the presidential nomination had narrowed over night to a race be- tween J. Frank Hanly, former gover- nor of Indiana, and former Governor William Sulzer of New York Eugene N. Foss, former governor Of Massa- chusetts, announced that he would not be a candidate.
 With the arrival of the New York, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New England delegates, a combination of anti-Hanley candidates seemed possible.

BRITISH ATTACK IN RAIN AND
 DRIVE GERMANS AT OvILLER
SUBMARINE WARNING
 FOR NEUTRAL STATES
Semi Official Lokal Anzeiger Hints U-Boat Activity May
 Be Increased.

Berlin, July IT, via London, July IS, 2:3O p. m.-The active campaign for resumption of submarine warfare in it's previous form has assumed new importance, from an article today by Eugene Zimmerman, general director of the Lokal Anziger, whose views, as past events have shown, usually re- fleet the opinions held in govern mental circles.
 Referring to the reasons which Great Britain gave for abandoning the declaration of London, Herr Zim- merman contemplates the possibility that Great Britain will compel smaller neutral states to adopt an unfriendly, perhaps a hostile attitude towards the Central Powers, or even to close their frontiers completely against them. He then cites in heavy type his own comment on Germany's ac- ceptance of the American demands in regard to submarine warfare, indi- eating that circumstances might arise later which would make it impossible to adhere to the restrictions on the activity of these craft.
 Herr Zimmerman goes on to say that the political reasons which SnapeQs 0ermdny s pOnCy at the IlIu0 included the wish to preserve the good will of neutrals, and adds:
 But if Great Britain succeeds in making neutrals passively or actively hostile to us, one important reason for Germany's decision at that time would cease to exist. It makes no difference whether neutrals yield to British orders through sympathy or through fear.
 Even America should comprehend and appreciate the situation as it would be changed for the Central Powers and the conclusions they of necessity would draw therefrom. We can only strike balance again of all political and military factors and choose what is most useful for Ger many what best secures German vic- tory'''
 Herr Zimmerman then intimates in a yelled manner, being unable to dis cuss this phase more freely, that the submarine power of Germany has un- dergone a favorable change since spring, evidently meaning that either their mum bers or their efficiency have been conserved. He concludes his article with the assertion that all signs indicate a new decision on the submarine question will be necessary very soon.
