FLEET OF GIANT
UNDERSEA BOATS
Attempts Will Be Made to
Shatter British
Blockade
AMERICAN COMPANY
Enormous Corporation Will Con-
struct Vessels Which VIII Make
Deutschland Pigmy

Baltimore, July t3-Utter shatter-
ing of the British starvation blockade
will soon be attempted by a fleet OF
giant undersea freighters, flying the
American flag.
Inspired by the success OF the Ger
man subsea freighter Deutschland,
Manager Paul Hilken, of the Ocean
Rhederei, is forming an enormous
American corporation to make under
sea ships that will put the Deutsch-
land in the pigmy class.
Simon Lake, submarine inventor,
who fully a year ago predicted in a
scientific paper that 1--WE shall pro-
badly see some form of cargo-carry-
ing submarine constructed as block
ade runners" will act in an advisory
capacity to the new corporation, and
permit use of his patents.
Hilken gave the United Press the
following exclusive statement of his
plans today:
Captain Simon lake, undoubtedly
the pioneer in the design of success
full submarines and P. G.. Hilken, Am
erican manager of the Ocean Rhederei
Bremen, are considering the advisa-
bility of forming a company to ope-
rate, under the American flag, SER
vice similar to that begun by the
Ocean Rhelerei- its suhmersibln
freighter Deutschland.
"The success of the trip of the
Deutschland, and the huge profits
which are already assured-the cost
of that vessel being practically paid
by her first voyage-lead those who
are planning the new venture to en-
pect it to prove successful financially"
As a matter of fact, the papers
will lie signed soon, barring unex-
pccted developments.
CAPTAIN Lake placed his 0. K.
upon the announcement and gave the
following additional facts:
The submarines will have a 5000
ton capacity.
Y "y will cost about Sl,25O,OOO each

RUSSO-JAPANESE TREATY
Island Kingdom Will 1t is Said, En-
ter Into Triple Alliance

Detroit, Mich, July 13-That the
drafting of the Russo-Japanese treaty
is merely the first step in negotia-
tions that ultimately will result IN
the formation of a triple offensive
and defensive alliance between Japan
Russia and Germany was the opinion
expressed yesterday by Charles Den
10y, of Detroit, former American con-
/ sui general at Peking. DENLY has
just returned from an extensive trip
through China and Japan.
Japan. realizes that her alliance
with Great Britain would be nonet-
fective in the event of trouble with
the United State, Denby said. and
she is anxious to negotiate new al
liances elsewhere PRO! German sentl-
ment is overwhelming in Japan, de-
spite the country's connection with
the allies.
1t is not true that Japan purposes
to gain her ends by force in: the
near future. But it is true that the
japanese regard their desire to en-
ter, upon terms of equality, the ter
ritories of the nations bordering
along the Pacific as;one destined tc
be accomplished by force if ultima
tcly nece: sary.
The japanese statesmen most GER
.ia'v believe that the japanese art
destined to be the propagandists of g
new yellow civilization, beginning
where the white has left off and
reaching limits of which the white
has not yet dreamed.

TWO KILLED BY SHARK
Boy and Man Victim of Marine Mon
ster in New Jersey

Matawan, N. j., July ia man
eating shark swan through Raritan
Bay and up the Matawan Creek yes
terday afternoon, killed a boy swim
mer,, mangled man so badly that ne
died two hours later in a hospital,
and savagely attacked a second boy
bather, taking away nearly all tine
back Of leg.
The dead boy is II year old Lester
Stillwell.
The man, attacked as he was max
ing heroic endeavor to fish up th.'
body of the boy after the shark had
dragged him down, was Stanley Fish
er, popular young man of this place.
His right leg was torn, and he was so
weak after his removal to the Mon
mouth Memorial Hospital at Long
Branch that the surgeons did not dare
to amputate it. Death resulted from
loss of blood.
The third and more fortunate VIC
tim of the monsters afternoons work
was 10 year-old Joseph Dunn, a
summer visitor here, who is said to
live in New York. He is in st. Peters
Hospital. The lower part Of his leg
is missing, but the doctors hope to
save his life.
Young Lester went bathing with
Albert O'Hara, Frank Cloves and
other boys near his own age, at
Wyckoff's dock, about 500 yards from
the mouth Of Matawan Creek, which
is about fifty feet wide. O'Hara got
glimpse of what he supposed to be
a log on the surface of the water and
was startled to see the thing start
towards him. He was near the dock
and reached it in a few strokes. AS
he was pulling himself up shark
attacked him. Screaming he was pull.
ed under the surface.
The fact that several sticks of
dynamite, exploded under the water,
failed to bring his body to the sur
face leads 10 the belief that he was
entirely devoured by the man eater.
An hour after the tragedies, not
person was to be found in the watr
from Raritan Bay to, Matawan.

Allied Tide

Paris, July 13-Dense German mas
ses are storming the approaches te
Fort Souville in the seventh great
assault on Verdun since the battle
for the fortress began 146 days ago.
The violence Of yesterdays attacks
furnishes unmistakable evidence that
Germany is determined to continue
the attacks on VerduD regardless OF
her critical position on other fronts
French military critics agreed on this
point today, after studying the re-
ports from headquarters.
The Germans kept up violent
Commandment throughout the night on
the sectors of Souville, Chenois and
Laufee, but made no infantry at
tacks, the war Office announced today.
London, July 13-The 'Anglo-French
offensive is maintaining itself as rigor
ously as ever against the most deter
mined attacks which the Germans are
now delivering against the front in
Northern France. The Germans have
thrown reinforcements into the breach
having had ample time to recover
from the first shock and the unexpect-
ed strength of the British and French
attacks. There is no doubt the Ger
mans had supposed the French to be
enfeebled greatly south Of the Som
sme because Of the number of, troops
needed in the defense of Verdun
against the forces of the German
Crown Prince. The fact that the Al
lies are progressing so methodically
and even against German attacks,
gives the people of the British and
French nations the greatest satisfac-
ton.
No events of a sensational char
acter on the front in Northern
France were announced yesterday, but
General Haig, in brief bulletin last
night recounts recovery by, the Brit
ish of all the ground lost Tuesday
in the Mametz wood. The British
commander tells also of the repulse
of two heavy German attacks against
Contamination and of steady progress
by his forces in the Trones Wood,
the scene of much heavy and des-
perate fighting during the past few
days. incidentally, General 'Haig
comments on the heavy. casualties
sustained by the Germans in their
attacks against the British forces
north of the Somme.
From General Haig's bulletins it
is seen that the British are driving
steadily toward the crest of the ridge
commanding the wide Bapaume
Plateau. According to, the view of
French military experts there are no
less than 100000 German bayonets
opposing the advance of General
Haig's forces.
The Reuter- correspondent at the
British front reports that two Ger

 The Village Creek basin, which has been improved by several levee and drainage districts, is to be further i'm proved by drainage district to em- brace 10000 acres of fertile land in Jackson and Lawrence Counties. The proposed district will extend along the village Creek from point about three miles above the Jackson-Law- renee county line for a distance of 28 miles in Jackson county to the Litch- field bridge, east of Newport.
 A preliminary survey made by En- gineer W. A.

COURT HELD STATEWIDE LAW APPEALS STATUTES MAKING
 IT MlsDEMEANoR.
MUST SERVE SENTENCE
One Year Punishment Only Penalty FossibIe-Majority Holds to Deci- sion in Cross County Appeal
 On Demurrer.
Little Rock

The Supreme Court, with Justice Smith dissenting, handed down an opinion that there was but one punish ment for persons convicted of seinng or giving away liquor in violation or the new statewide prohibition law That punishment, as set forth in the Newberry act is one years imprison- ment.
 The test case came from the Circuit Court of Cross county, in which man named Seawood, charged with boot logging, was discharged when the court sustained a demurrer in his be- half. The court held that the act was cumulative only in respect to issuance of license, as Section 4 of the law says:
 "All parts of laws providing for 1s- suance of liquor ncenses in the State of Arkansas that are in conflict here with are hereby repealed, and this act is intended tss be cumulative to all present liquor laws prohibiting the issuance of liquor license in the State of ArEansas."
 The ruling was that if a person was indicted for selling or giving away liquor and were found guilty, he must serve one years sentence in the state penltentiary, with no other penalty provided. He could not be tried on a misdemeanor charge based on old statutes, because they are expressly repealed by the new law.
 The question of whether it was nee essary for the indictment to charge that the offense was "feloniously'' com mitted was settled in the opinion by the court that 1t is usual in the state for an indictment to use only the words of the statutes. and the stat. utee does not use the word "felonious% in the prohibition bill, hence an omis- sion of that word in the indictment does not warrant sustaining demur. Ter based on that omission
 The Supreme Court held, in conclu- sion, that the indictment of Seawood was for a public offense within the jurisdiction of the circuit court, and that it was an error to sustain the demurrer.
