Marquis of Crewe Asserts
Seven Ships Were Sunk
Unwarned.
FORTY LIVES LOST
Publicity Urged, Pending
Adoption of Submarine
Policy by Allies.

LONDON, Aug. lS.-Charges that
the German government had violated
her pledges on submarine warfare
given to the United States We're made
in the house of lords today by the
Marquis of Crewe, lord premier OF
the council.
Baron Sydenham had inquired
whether the government considered
that commanders of German subma-
rines had adhered to the declaration
made to the American government in
May in regard to sinking vessel with
out warning, and whether Austrian
submarines were bound by the same
conditions.
The marquis replied that the more
public attention was called to the
"monstrous proceedings of subma-
rines. pending the time when it would
be possible to make a definite decla-
ration on behalf of the entente allies
as to the policy they proposed to pur-
sue regarding them, the better II
would be.
The governments information was
that since the undertakings have been
given to the American government
four British and three neutral ships
had been sunk without warning by
submarines, all most certainly Ger
man, Another neutral ship, the mar
quis continued, was attacked by
means of a torpedo without warning.
In the cases of the seven vessels sunk
at least forty lives were lost.
The marquis said it was impossible e
to avoid the conclusion that in the
seven cases there haze oeen clear vio-
laton Of the undertaking given by
the German government Those cases
might be regarded as proved.
In addition, there were several
others in which ships had been sunk
and lives lost in circumstances which
made it seem highly probable, al
though it had not been so definitely
proved, that there had been a breach
of the undertaking. In these cases
the government would not say that
the letter of the undertaking actually
had been broken by the German gov
| ernlnent or its servants.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 17.-(Via London,
Aug. Is. 3:45 a. M m)-Torrential rain

conceivably miserable night for the
German gunners at their posts in
shell craters filled with water up to
their neckS
The Germans seem to have definite
ly given up trying to dig any trenches
along the front where the British
hold the high ground and the old sec
ond German line. The British gun
fire fills in every trench that is start
ed and Kills the diggers.
Machine gun and shell crater war
fare has replaced trench warfare as
a means OF defense against the Brit

or the Brandenburghers but machine
Eunners are now the crack corps of
the Germans. Specially picked men
take the oath never to surrender and
Englishmen report that they are
chained to their guns by officers to
prevent them succumbing to any
temptation to flee. This is confirmed
by witnesses who have taken such
men in the recent fighting.
Machine guns are dragged out to
the shell craters under cove Of dark
ness and during the day the gunners
lie hugging the earth in most uncom,
Portable positions. They are baked
by the sun by day and shiver in the
wet at night. If the least movement
discloses their location by day a hur-
ricane of mortar and gunfire is turned
on them. British snipers are always
lying in wait for the first sign of any
thing to show life.
