They were not successful anywhere.
''In the evening and during the
night local attacks were delivered by
the enemy against several of our po-
sitions on the front from Vauxaillon
to Corbeny, which, apart from slight
local successes on the part of French
west of Craonne, failed everywhere
before our brave defense.
"At Laneuville strong artillery fire

MEATLESS DAY

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiNu1
London, May (6:19 p. m.)--Great
Britain's "meatless day" is to be abol-
ished because it augments the demand
on breadstuffs and other substitutes
which are less plentiful than meat.
This was announced today by Baron
Devonport, the food controller, in the
house of lords. He declared that a
diminution in the consumption of
bi.latlst ufgz was OF vital moment ana
q main factor in the situation.
Regarding the necessity of securing
equality of supply among all classes
of people, Lord Devonport said:
''In view of the increase of subma-
rine activity and being determined to
take no risks of shortage. we thought
it expedient that preliminary steps
should be taken for a system of ra-
tioning our people to be set up at the
earliest moment. so that it could be
brought into force then il required.
AS this system will have to be admin
istered by the local authorities, some
time must necessarily be occupied in
preparing them for the discharge of
their duties.
"The most reliable method to secure
equality and certainty OF distribution
is to effect it through the ordinary
established channels OF trade. When
necessitate that these
shall be deviated from, there Is always
dislocation and consequent Irregular
ity to be expected

General Obregon that he be placed
on the retired list was answered by
the statement that this is a matter
on which the senate will have to
take action.
General Obregon's resignation was
caused by i'll health, from which he
has suffered for several months. 1t is
probable he will go to his home In
Sonora and then to the United States
and possibly to Spain for an opera
ton on his arm, the partial amputa-

Washington, May Slope is
Frightening that American inventive
genius has found the road that may
lead to freedom of the seas from Ger
man submarines.
A conference OF unusual importance
was held tonight at the home OF Sec
retary Daniels. 1t was called in order
that high officials Of the navy might
go over with members of the naval
consulting board the experiments al
ready tried and those that are in
prospect.
"They believe they are on the right
road" Mr.. Daniels said. "They be-
lieve that they are going to turn out
something that is worth while There
will be more experiments. Further
than that do not care to say"

Other officials declared the scien-
fists were coming down to brass
tacks': that the period of reaching
out after every suggestion was pass
ing and that definite colonization OF
the work upon which the foremost
American experts have concentrated
was certain to come soon.
Those at the conference were Secre-
tary Daniels, Admiral Benson, chief OF
operations; Rear Admiral Taylor
chief constructor; Rear Admiral Grif-
fin, chief engineer; Rear Admiral
Earle, chief of ordnance; Rear Ad-
miral Grant, chief Of the submarine
service, and Capt. William Strother

between the department and consult
ing boards and other scientific bod
les.

Lawrence Addicks, chairman; Thomas
Robbins, Elmer A. Sperry and Benja-

Reports were also available tonight
from Thomas A. Edison, who is at
work on "a somewhat different line OF
given as to the nature of experiments
that have caused board members and
naval officers familiar with what is
being done to hope the problem is
nearing solution. None will be given,
whatever the results of new work,
which it is understood will include
practical tests of certain theories.
Daniels Optimistic.
After the conference tonight Sec
retary Daniels said:
we have gone over all the prob
lens connected with combating the
submarines, and experts of the con-
sulting board will continue their ex-
periments with inventions designed
to eliminate the menace. I can only
say this concerning their work---that
their plans are no dream. They are
very important and very far-reach-
ing"
1t was intimated that the experts
working on definite means of fight
Ing the submarines have eliminated
from consideration many suggested
devices and are centering their ex-
periments on only few, one or two
of which they hope will prove ef-
fective against the underwater
boats.

ence committee, has the honor to re-
port that it called his attention to sec
ton in the bill, as drawn by the con-
ference committee and the amend
ment therefor passed by the house.
and requested his opinion as to which
was the better of the two. He said
without reference to his personality
as governor he thought the original
was better for the reason that the
amendment could create a deadlock,
as the council could do nothing with
out his agreeing thereto and on the
other hand he could not initiate any
thing without the consent of the coun-
Gil or if the council did not agree; fur
ther that the council might inaugu-
rate a line of action and carry 1t to
such point where it would be nec-
essary for him to agree, even though
his Judgment was to the contrary. and
On the whole he preferred the original
