DENIES HIS SHIPS
 AIDED SUBMARINES
Wagner Offers $1O,0Oo for Iden-
 tity of Man Who Started Story

New York. May 12.-Richard G. Wagner. President of the American Transatlantic company of IT Battery Placs, inserted a half page advertise ment yesterday in some New York in which he offered a re- ward of $1O,O00 for evidence that would result in the conviction of any person or persons distributing false statements concerning his company or the operations of its ships. He also offered $50,000 to any person or per- sons who would prove that any of the ships belonging to the American transatlantic company had delivered supplies to German submarine raider or that his company in any manner had violated the laws of the United States or international law.
 In the advertisement Mir. Wagner said that for the greater part of two year malign influences had worked hard to discredit his company. One of its steamships had been detained by the French government. and three were held by the British government. Recently the crew of one of the ships caused trouble to the captain and he discharged the men. In return, 1t was alleged. tho crew spread . report through the West Indies that the ship had been carrying supplies for Ger man U-boats.
 The British government blacklisted the seven remaining ships of tho

SiT. was- ner's troubles began in Washington nearly two years ago when E.. T. Chamberlain. United States Commis- sioner of Navigation, declined to give American registry to vessels owned by him.
 When asked yesterday why he had inserted the advertisement, Mir. Was- ner replied that it was his only chance to get his side of tho case clearly before the people. and all he asked was fair play.
 II have nothing to say: the adver- tisement speaks for itself" he said.
 At the British consulate it was stat ed that the reason why seven of the American transatlantic steamships had been kept on the official black list was that the government believed that Hugo Stinee, called the Vest phalian coal king. was still the bene- ficiary owner of tke vessels. It was pointed out that if the British adfni- ralty made good it's claim to the Kan kahee. Hooking and 0enesee or, the ground of German ownership, 1t would mean that the United States could seize the seven steamships of 5000 to 1000 gross tonnage which are trad ing between New York and Buenos Aires. MT. Wagner asks 410,0OO.O0O for his fleet of eleven ships. He says they are all owned by American cap ital in this country.

 ''sir Henry palziel demanded that, in addition to the kings recent proc lamation, further appeal should be made to the country to economise food, and asked a number of quee- tions ranging over many topics con- nected with the past. present, and fu- ture of the war.
 "Sir Edward Carson (First Lord of the Admiralty aaid he welcomed in structive criticism, but deprecated at- tacks, sometimes made for interested motives, upon officers of the navy out side of the house. He related some recent feats of ga1lantry and recourse on the part of our patrols which had accounted for German submarines. He expressed g wish that he could publish even one of them and ex- plained why in the highest interests of the war it was desirable to refrain.
 He described the vast area over which the operations of the navy were daily and hourly carried on and asked that thrilling incidents should be criti- cised with a true sense of their per- spective- He gave information about the activity and ability in organisa- tion of the anti-submarine warfare, tho co-operation of the naval air ton being gven to mercantile ship building.

The Sound of Guns,

Conflicting statements have been
made from time to time as to the dis
tance at which the guns can be heard.
On a still night, when an easterly
breeze is prevailing I have heard the
dull thud quite distinctly in South
London, observes a writer in the Lon
don Chronicle. 1t is this disquieting
sound, not less than the din of an oc-
casiOnal air raid, which gives London
ers an idea how near the conflict really
is. Now records are being prepared
which show the extent Of the distance
ct which the guns are heard. Scien-
fists at University college declare they
"@n no DISTINGUISHED at q range of 200
lies. This would include places like
warwick TIull. CroWer, Brighton and
Weymnnth. Sound travels at a rate of
about 1000 feet a second, so that the
sound Of the guns in Flanders reaches
London about twelve and a half min
utes after the explosions occur.
