GERMANS ASSERT U.bOATS CONTINUE

Minister of Navy Asserts That Subs Have "Shat-
 tered Nerve England"

Berlin, via London, April N.-A confidential statement in regard to the progress of submarine warfare has been made by Vice Admiral von Ca belle, minister of navy, to the reich stag main committee in the discussion of the naval budget.
 Another statement regarding the minister's communication was given out here today showing that he told the committee the success of the sub marines continued to be great and their losses small.
 Reports already at hand showed that a, favorable result could be ex- pected for April.
 The reduction of tonnage at the dis posal of hostile nations, he said. was taking place with mathematical cer- tainty, thereby increasing the lack Of foodstuffs, while the want of crops made itself felt in the sharpest man. ner. The minister continued:
 Notwithstanding the sharp cen sorship in entente countries, suffi- cient news has reached us to show that the u-boats have shattered the nerve of England and through her or her allies"

TAYLOR STANDS
 WITH WILSON
 ON ARMY PLAN
Congressmen Believe This Quickest Way to "Bring
 Liberty to World. ."

Congressman Sam M. Taylor is standing by the president" in the battle for the democratic selective draft plan of raising an army, be- cause the Pine Bluff congressman believes the presidents course "the quickest to end the war and bring liberty to the world"
 Congressman Taylor, who has stood Loyalty by president Wilson at all times, made known his attitude on the selective draft principle in a telegram to Dr. J. I. Norris, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, who had telegraphed Colonel Taylor the conviction that "most of your con- stituents support the presidents plan, and personally, I'd be glad If you could see your way clear to sup port it." Congressman Taylor's re- sponse to pr. Norris, reads:
 "Your wire received. I am stand ing by our wise and great president. I believe his course the quickest to end the war and bring liberty to the !s world"
 At a recent luncheon the chamber of commerce trustees endorsed the selective draft principle, and other organizations have also displayed fealtv to the president in his course. The Pine Bluff central trades council, at it's last meeting, adopted resolu- ton opposing the presidents plan.

Congress Will Take Vote Today.
 on Selective War Draft Measure
Both Houses Clear Way-sen Lafollette, Armed With Books and Papers, Begins Long Speech,
 and Indulges in Sarcasm.

Washington, April 27.-Both houses of congress sat until late tonight to clear the way for the passage to- morrow of the war army bill, under which millions of men are to be raised and trained according to plans already prepared by the war depart ment.
 Champions in the house of an amendment designed to permit Colo nel Roosevelt to recruit volunteer force for immediate service in France lost their fight on the first vote taken after the close of debate. It was offered by Representative Austin of Tennessee and was vigor- ously supported by Representative Gardiner of Massachusetts and oth- CTS. The amendment was defeated by vote of 17O to 1O6.
 Among those who voted for the amendment was Miss Rankin If Montana.
 The house leaders agreed to have a vote immediately after convening to- morrow, on amendments which will restore the measure to it's original form, and will eliminate the volun- teer amendment.
 General debate closed early in the afternoon, with the final statements by Chairman Dent and Representa- tive Kahn of California, the Repub- lican member leading the administra- ton fight.
 A score of members spoke tonight under the five minute rule. One of the first was Representative Mann, Republican floor leader, who broke his silence on the subject for the first time with an emphatic declara- tion favoring the staff bill.
 La F0llette's Long Speech.
 On the senate side, the debate con- tinued throughout the day and night. Senator La Toilette, who has amend ments striking out the draft provi- sions and to submit the question of raising an army to referendum, took the floor shortly before mid night. He had a great pile of books and papers before him, and apparent ly planned to talk several hours.
 At 1:30 a. m., Senator La Toilette had been talking two hours and there was no indication that he was near

President Wilson Approves Large Advance Also to French Government.
SEVEN NATIONS
 ASK ASSISTANCE
All of Entente Allies Except Japan and Balkan States, and in Addition, Cuba and Haita, Hope United States
 Can Lend Them Money.

Washington, April 27.-President Wilson has approved requests from France and Italy for immediate if nancial aid, and from $200,000000 to $500, O,OOO,OO0 will be loaned them by the limited States in the next few days. ] In the case of Italy, arrangements already have been made for the trans fer of the money, and the loan may he announced tomorrow. While the amount has not been divulged. it is understood to be between $50,000,000 and $1OO,000,000.
 France will receive between $15O,- 100000 and $200,000,000, probably the larger amount. Before the end of next week, the loan should be in Ambassa- dor Jusserand's hands.
 With the completion of these trans actions, the total of the governments loans to the allies will approximate S5O0,O00,000. There is every indica- tion that at least as much more will be loaned the allies before the end of the fiscal year, June 30. and the amount may run to $1,OOO,0OO,000 more, bring ing the grand total of Americas loans during the first three months of war up to $1,5O0,000,000. At this rate, $6,- 000,Q00,0 900 dollars year will be put out, or double the sum provided for i'll the war finance law.
 The administration has definitely decided to continue it's loans to the entente governments, pending the is sue of bonds. the money being raised by the issuance of treasury certlfl- cates of indebtedness. It is likely that Secretary McAdoo will issue another block of $250,0O0,000 before the end Of next week, through the federal re- serve banks.
 Revised estimates of entente needs indicate the amount they will require prior to June 30, the date tentatively set for the receipt of proceeds from the first bond issue, will be nearer $1.500,O00,000 than the $1,000,o ,00O originally estimated. To meet this, certificates may be issued by the treasury department, in blocks every two weeks, instead of every three weeks. although this program IS still in tentative state.
 Seven nations have applied for loans, or indicated they would ap- preciate them, Great Britain, Italy, Cuba, Belgium, France, Russia. and, to the surprise of many Haiti.

Van Buren Citizens So Wire Senator When He Intimates They'll Not
 Do Their "Bit.o

Van Buren, April 27.-That his ef- forts are "a demogogic attempt to play to an audience that no longer eX- lsts in this state," and that his speech is better fitted for the campaign stump than the senate of the United States, was the quick retort sent to- night by leading Van Buren citizens to Senator Kirby for opposing the se- lective draft.
 Senator Kirby today sent the Van Buren men telegram, replying to their demand of yesterday that he re- sign to "let a man take his place, and said his critics should not worry as the present bill would not include them, owing to their age.

Associated Press Summary

The cannon are booming from Lens to Auberibe, in France, while the m fantry of both opponents apparently rests after the great battle of the past three weeks along this great line.
 The British artillery, which in the second week of the battle of Arras, used LID more shells than ever had been used in one action in the his tory of modern warfare, continues It's deadly and destructive work. The French guns also are active, while the German artillery answers at Varl- ous points. Apparently. this is the lull before the next great clash in northern France.
 While the Germans have checked for the moment the latest effort of General Haig to capture strongly en- trenched positions commanded by Crown Prince Rupprecht, their eff forts to recapture positions taken from them have met with sangulnary failures.
 South and northwest of St. Quentin, that strong and important link, the British and French troops nave hurled back counter attacks with heavy losses. Efforts of the German crown prince to break the trench grin northeast of Soissons have failed
 A report from Paris says the Ger means have lost 10000 men i'll Killed wounded and captured.
 Tn local operations along the Arras- Camhrai road, and mOrthWard, the British have gained ground and the French have advanced north ol Hurtebiz and on the Vauclerc plateau as well as at other points in the fight-scared region Of MonronV'lieIs' Over the battle line and behlnd the German position, wasp like alrplalhes have been busy aiding the artillery III finding targets.

British and French Repre- sentatives Give Informa-
 tion to United States.
FRENCH WILL STAY
 LONGER THAN PLAN
Will Participate in Discussion and Exchange of Counsel, Although Ori- ginally Had Expected to Come for
 Merely Ceremonial Visit.

Washington, April 27.-The British war commission today entered on it's first day of uninterrupted work. with a wide series of conferences. tOuch- ing every phase of America's partici- patiCn in the war
 Experts in all lines started in earnest on the tasks set out by Premier Balfour, as a result of his preliminary conferences with Ameri- can officials, to learn how most ef- fectively the British commission could be of service.
 Premier Balfour himself had a strenuous day. The morning he de- voted to writing his first report to England, speaking enthusiastically of his warm reception here and of the eagerness of the American govern mcnt to cooperate in every way, to defeat the common enemy. The re- port which will be made public later, in line with Premier Balfour,s desire, takes not only the two governments and peoples into his confidence. but carries joyous news to the British people.
 Attorney General Gregory called on Premier Balfour in the afternoon and is understood to have discussed with him many kinds of legislation to pro- tect public safety in war times.
 M. Viviani, head of the French commission, also called on Premier Balfour to more closely coordinate the work of the two commissions. M. Viviani told MT. Balfour Of the French commissions decision to stay longer than originally planned. and to change the purpose of the visit from merely ceremonial to service and ad- vice. The French mission. while not touching the subjects covered by the British will join in the major points. The state department is known to have urged this course on France.
 Chas. M. Schwab today paid his re- spects to Premier Balfour. after q visit to the French mission. His visit, together with trip to New York by Lord Cunliffe, gave rise to q discussion about the changed status of this country from neutral nation making loans to private individuals, to an allied nation making loans al- rect to other governments.
 It is thought that some central buy ing agency for food and munitions Tor the allies soon may be established.

FRENCH ALTER PLANS.
Had Expected Merely Ceremonial Visit, But Will Remain to Lend
 Advice.

Washington, April 27.-Conferenccs between the French war mission and representatives of the United States government today broadened N their scope. A
 The French mission left Paris with unlimited power to negotiate with the United States on all subjects, milf- tary, naval, financial and economic, but at the time it was expected little more would be required of it than to salute Frances new brother in arms. The mission has found. however. that definite and specific understandings concerning the war against Germany are desired, and conferences are SO proceeding.
 Members of the mission. in con- ference with officials of the Amerl-' can government, informed them that the things France needs from the United States are money, food In quantities, fertilizers, coal. steel. oil and transportation equipment for ser vice both on land and sea, especially a great number of ships to carry ma- terial from the new to the old world.
 The French visitors spent virtually all day exchanging views and in formation with representatives of the American government. The grOund- work for joint discussion by the Brit ish, French and American representa- lives perfected during talk between Premier Balfour and M. Viviani, heads of the British and French mis- SiOnS.

TO REGISTER AT ONCE.
War Department Already has Per. fected Plans for Carrying Out Law.

War Department Already has Per. fected Plans for Carrying Out Law.
 Washington, April 27.-With the enactment of the selective draft army bill virtually assured, the war de- partment is preparing to set machin- cry in motion to produce in two years an trained army of 100000 men.
 Within ten days, every township in the country will be registering its young men, and work will be started on sixteen training camps, so that the preparation of the forces will start in August or September. Sites for the cantonments have been select ed tentatively.
 The registration will be conducted by sheriffs and other county officials, aided by postmasters and other feder- al agencies wherever possible. On date to be set, every citizen affect ed will be required to present himself at the nearest registration place, where machinery will be provided for classification and eliminating those exempt. With the rolls complete, the task of selecting men to go with the first increment will begin.
 It has been suggested that this be done by means of the county jury wheels. The first man whose name is drawn would go with the first 500,000 to be called out in few months, the second with the second increment, six months later, the third with the third, at the end of a year, and the fourth with the first incre- ment, and so on.

Fire Raging Between Men and Parties of Rescuers,
 Who Fight Valiantly.
MINE WRECKAGE
 PREVENTS ACCESS
Bodies of Several Victims Already Reached hHt Others are Beyond Means of HcImettcd Workers of
 State Mining Safety Bureau.

Trinidad, Colo, April 21.-Therc S no escape for the 120 or more men caught behind fire il. the Tasting mine of the Victor-American Fuel company. near Ludlow, and it is ex- pected all have perished. Rescue parties cannot reach the men because of wreckage. Superintendent Cam eron said tonight he had little hope of saving any of the men, when the explosion occurred.
 The first bodies of the victims have been found by the rescue squad, according to Charles Dalrymple, chief inspector of the state mining bureau. He said the rescuers have penetrated 2OOO feet into the work ings of the mine.
 "One hundred and eighteen of the men are behind the fire and there s little chance of reaching, them," he said
 The only means of communication between Trinidad and the mines is a single telephone wire, which, is crowdede with official messages con corning the rescue work. ]
 Rumors that the explosion was the result of plot were discounted by the company officials, who said the mine was known as a "gas mine" and that a similar explosion occurred in 1913.
 Ninety of the men are coal diggers, the others being officials of the com pany it was said.
