MRS. FRYATT'S PENSION.
Britain Decides to Give Captains
Widow $500 Extra.

London. April 13.-The British gov
eminent has decided to grant an ad-
ditional pension of $500 year to
Mrs. Fryatt, widow of Captain Fryatt,
who was captured by the Germans
and shot because they declared he
tried to ram submarines while opera
ting his cross-chanel steamer between
Holland and England. This sum will
be given to Mrs. Fryatt in addition to
the pension she was entitled to under
the government pension scheme.
The Great Eastern Railway COM

commanded, has voted to pay the
widow for life a sum equal to the
shippers salary. To further COM

ATTEMPT DOUBLE SUICIDE.
Noblcman's Daughter and Chauffeur
Are Principals.

Toxic, April 13.-Japanese society
is stirred by case of ''shinju,'' or
double suicide. affecting the family of
Count Akimasa Yoshikawa, vice presi-
dent of the privy council. His daugh-
ter, Mrs Kwanji Yoshikawa and
Rikisuke Kuramochi, her chauffeur,
are alleged to have sought death in
the path Of railroad train.
The chauffeur threw the woman on
the tracks, but evidently lacked time
to carry out his intention Of following
her. Instead he drew a short sword,
slashed his throat and died a few
moments later Mrs. Yoshikawa was
tossed from the rails by the engine.
Her condition was pronounced critical.
The husband of Mrs. Yoshikawa had
\ been adopted to the Yoshikawa
family, becoming the heir to the
count.
A case of ''shinju' Is not unusual in
Japan and since the olden days many
fanciful love stories have been woven
around this Japanese practice. 1t is
extraordinary, however for g. woman
of as high birth as Count Yoshikawa's
daughter to choose to end her life In
such a fashion. The fact that the
woman was married and that she
sought death with her chauffeur
heightens the interests Of the affair
in japanese minds.

Cairo. April 13.-The site Of Can

Of Egypt, has been found, according
to Daninos Pasha. who claims the
honor of making the discovery. For
many years he has maintained that its
site lay. somewhere in the region Of
Aboukir Bay and, apparently, his con-

Before the foundation of Alexan-

important religious center in lower
Egypt.
Excavations have already brought
to light a great public bath Of the
Ptolemaic period. about Is feet in
length. 1t is divided into twenty
Chambers OF which the largest is
about "a feet long and of the same
width. There are rooms for various
forms Of baths. such as hip and mud
baths and large hall which was
evidently used for massage purposes
and the preparation Of aromatic oil.

WHAT OF THE CONvICTS.
Ex-Prisoncrs Ineligible for German
Army or Navy.

army OF Navy.
Berlin, April 13.-What to do with
the ex-convicts who, when sentenced,
lost their rights to citizenship and
therefore may not belong to the army
and fight for the fatherland is a. prob
lem that is occupying public attention
to an increasing degree.
It is estimated that there are in the
empire at least 100000 able-bodied
men of military age, now at liberty
after having served prison sentences,
whose work for the government in the
aggregate would be of tremendous
value if way could be found to
utilize them.
Yet they cannot be sent to the
front in regiments composed of men
who have never been guilty of crimi-
nal acts, because the soldiers would
not tolerate their presence. Nor is it
as has occasionally been suggested,
for particularly hazardous duty.
Such duty is regarded by the average
soldier as a special honor which he
would be loath to surrender to men
branded by imprisonment Nor is it
felt that it would be safe to entrust
important posts to men in whom i'm
plicit confidence cannot be placed.
The latest and apparently most
welcome suggestion is that the ex-
convicts, and even convicts now
serving terms, should be formed into
special working bodies, and put at
some kind of labor for the military
authorities, whether at the front or
at home.

ties have agreed to make the plan
more elastic. The schedule rates of

OF Monthly Loss
100000 Tons
British Minister Declares Grasty' s
Figures are Laughably
Exaggerated
by Cable TO The Tnbunel

London, July 20.-"Laughably exag-
gerated. Bunkuml" was the comment
Of Lord Rhondda on the figures COM
piled by c. H. Grasty, correspondent
Of "The New York Times" to show
that Great Britain was losing 5000
tons monthly through submarine war
fare. Lord Rhondda continued: even
if an error of mere million tons
crept in through mistakes in cable
transmission. his figures are a gross
overestimate.
The Admiralty to-day refused to dis
cuss the matter except to state that
any figures were entirely unauthor-
lied and they were entirely res2on-
sible for their being allowed to be
sent to New York. But in we'll in
formed quarters tonight The Tribt nc
was informed that there was a cable
error.
Naturally the publication of the
figures in one newspaper here eX-
cited considerable CONSERVATION 10 the
extent that the Admiralty, which
hitherto has rigidly set its face against
the publication of any figures. may
possibly be induced to publish the
figures of the sinkings of the last few
weeks in order to correct misappre-
tensions that are likely to arise.
The whole question remains one Of
considerable difficulty. All the British
policy for months past has been di-
rected toward viewing the submarine
danger in its gravest possible aspect
and therefore conserving food and
other resources and building ships at
previously undreamt Of speed in order
to be prepared for the contingency
that the Germans for any length of
time might be able to keep up the rate
of sinkings that they attained in March
and April.
On the other hand, economy and in
6ustrial intensity campaigns have ac-
complished much in the last six months
Contrarily, if the figures are not pub
lished then it is open to any individual
to publish his own estimate, which may
have the effect of disheartening the
people Of all the Allied countries. Pos
sibly in the near future some middle
course will become available.

Allies May Hunt Submarines
In Neutral European Waters
u S Naval Officials Propose Close Gaps Close Shore
Through Which U-Boats Evade Blockade-Ar
Raids May Force Out German Fleet

This "bottling up" of the submarine es
was declared to be the first necessary
step in the initiation of an effective
offensive against the submarines. the
second phase concerning attacks from
the sea and the sky upon German sub
marine bases.
The feeling was stronger in Wash
ington to-day that plans are under con-
sideration for a naval action of some
underlined kind, but which will have Of
fensive characteristics. The one most
probable of adoption is believed to be
a scheme for restricting the submarines
to certain areas, or possibly for pre-
venting their invasion of the North Sea
by measures to be enforced along the
Belgian and Dutch coasts and extend
ing to the Skaggerack and the Gate
gat, which would be doubly guarded
against use by submarines. Those who
favor this plan asserted the prevention
of the use OF the submarine would be
equivalent for all practical purposes
to the destruction Of the U-boats.
Propose Use of Airplanes
Naval critics also recommend the use
of airplanes for offensive operations
upon German coast cities and naval
bases. The machines would be Launched d
from the ships in the. North Sea, and
would forerun any attack in force by
the British and American fleets. It
was thought certain that every other
form of offensive would be tried out
before the ships themselves were risked
IN engagements against land fortifica-
tions.
Operations of the kind suggested, it
was asserted, would force the German
feet TO come out from behind Helgo-
land and accept battle. 1t is not clear
in the naval mind here whether Britain
actually desires this engagement with
the German grand feet, as it is gen.
orally accepted that the fight would cost
Britain many ships, even though it in
volved the complete destruction of the
German feet.
