U-Boat Sunk from Air
While Attacking Liner
In the Mediterranean
Passengers on Italian Ship
Tell Of Remarkable
Escape

An Atlantic Port, July 2.-Passengers
arriving on an Italian liner to-day told
a remarkable story of being saved from
the attack of a giant U-boat by a
hydro-aeroplane convoy.
The day after the vessel sailed from
an Italian port the submarine appeared
about a mile off the starboard bow.
Hardly had she unlimbered her deck
guns for actor when a hydro-aero-
plane, which had set out from the base
near the shore, swept down and opened
fire on the submersible. The battle
plane dropped like plummet more
than 1900 feet until about 500 feet
above the surface OF the sea.
The U-boat, taken unawares from the
sky, attempted to submerge, but two
large bombs from the aeroplane struck
her, one on the coming tower and the
other forward Then she sank in
swirl of white water, and a large patch
of oil marked the spot where she had
gone down-for good.
Passengers stated that during the ac-
ton, which occupied not more than five
minutes. the captain or the liner ma
neuvred his ship in circles TO avoid
being struck by possible torpedo.

Fall of Spanish
Monarchy Is
Believed Near
Leading Parties Join Oppo-
sition to King; Abdication
Not Improbable

London, July Spain appears TO be
in the throes Of a revolution. In we'll
informed quarters here it is believed
that the fall of the Spanish monarchy
and the rise of republic in its stead
arc only a matter of days, perhaps
hours.
This view is justified by the latest
development in Spanish politics. The
leading parties in the nation have
formed a republican "bloc." At a con-
ference recently held at the Chamber
of Deputies the Reform party, the Re-
publicans, the Radicals and the Social
lists decided to issue revolutionary
and anti-monarchistic manifesto, after
having constituted themselves into a
"bloc."
In addition to these parties the Mon
archist- Reformist party Of Senior Al
varez. one of the most powerful Span
ish leaders, changed its traditional po-
sition and came out in favor OF
republic. So strong is the republican
tide in Spain that King Alfonso's abdi-
cation is spoken of as distinct prob
ability.

ly beaten and kicked and then shot.
He died in an ambulance. While this
disturbance was raging another car
appeared. As tie car was halted white
women and white girls boarded it, and
se'Sire shrieking negro women dragged
them into the streets, where they were
pounded and kicked.
A few minutes later. as a crowd was
attacking negroes, one black was shot
in the head. The crowd cheered as po-
licemen put him in an ambulance. Ma
tional Guardsmen witnessed this scene,
but did nothing to disoerse the mob.
Negro Beaten to Death
One negro man, who was taken from
the car, which women rioters first in
vaded, was beaten in the head with
heavy club. He died in an ambulance.
Some of the men in the mob began TO
fire. William Keyser, hardware mer-
chant. was killed by a stray bullet. One
negro was shot and killed as he was
waiting for a train to take him out OF
town.
About o'clock a mob raided pawn
shop and carried away rifles and re-
volvers.
Labor leaders during May expressed
a fear that the negro labor was being
imported TO break anticipated strikes
during the summer.

10000 Men Taken
"Regiments July l."
Title of Honor for
Attacking Russians
Kerensky Will Present Red Flags
to Forces in New
Offensive

Petrograd, July thereafter ali
Russian fighting units which took part
in the great offensive launched yes
terday against the Teutons in Galicia
will be known officially as Regiments
July First" They will be handed red
revolutionary flags by Minister OF War
Kerensky and will be treated as spe-
cially honored contingents. The sug-
gestion was made by VI. Kerensky, who
is now at the battle front, and has been
approved by Premier Lvof, TO whom i
was submitted.
In an inspiring appeal issued to the
armies of new Russia by the War Min
lister he points out the danger 70 the
democracies of the world that lay in
Germany's dishonorable proposal of a
separate peace, and calls on all the sol
diers to fight. When Russia rejected
the overtures, declares NJ. kerensky'
the enemy threatened an offensive
against Russia, and the freedom OF the
country. as we'll as the success of the
revolution hung in the balance. The ap-
peal concludes:
Every days delay strengthens the
enemy. That is why we appeal TO our
armies to take the offensive. Let all
the world know that it was not from
weakness that we talked of peace. Let
it be known that liberty increases our
military strength. All Russia will
bless your exploits in behalf Of lib
erty, your country's future and an hon
orable and lasting peace"
In his message to the Premier the
War Minister says:
"On July the army of the Revolu-
tionary Russia took the offensive with
great enthusiasm. The offensive proved
TO Russia and the entire world its
fidelity to the revolution and its love
for liberty and its country. Ignoring
the small groups of cowardly souls, the
free Russian soldiers are consolidating
by their offensive new discipline
based on the sentiment of civic duty.
whatever may happen, this puts an
end to all slanderous attacks against
the democratic Russian army. | beg
of you 10 auth orize me to hand the
regiments which participated in :he
fighting on July red revolutionary
flags and give them the name 'Regi-
ments July First"
Premier Lvoff granted the requests.

u. s. Secret Service
Uncovers German Plot
To Wreck Lake Ships
Hunt for Conspirators Respon-
sible for Series of Great
Lakes Accidents"

Washington, July 2.-Secret investi-
CATION by government agents has dis
closed the existence of a great con-
spiracy to destroy or hinder shipping
on the Great Lakes and thereby delay
organization of American armies and
check the flow of food and munitions
material from the Western states to
the Atlantic coast
No conspirators have been captured
and the identity of none has been made
public. but it was learned to-day that
the State, Navy and Justice depart
ments are cooperating TO bring the
offenders 10 punishment, and that the
Canadian government probably Will be
called upon to help.
This plot, engineered by Germans, as
sisted by sympathizing American clti-
zens, is believed to have been respon-
sible for the succession of accidents
10 lake shipping, especially IN the
neighborhood of the Sault Ste Marie
Canal, which began about month ago.
The steamers Saxonia and Pentecost
Mitchell were sunk at the mouth OF the
500 River with the evident intention
of blocking the channel.
Then there was the sinking Of the
steamer Venetian Maid in the Detroit
River, with the loss Of one life, and
later came an attempt to dynamite the
steamer Machinac. The Kasaga ii was
blown up and burned and the Jay Dee
III and the Niagara machinery were
wrecked.
All these vessels had been or were
about to be taken over by the Navy
Department. and the Investigations of
the Department of Justice and the
Navy Department have tended to the
conclusion that what were believed TO
have been accidents were the acts Of
conspirators seeking TO hamper the
government in the prosecution of the

Situation in Spain
Going from Bad to Worse,
Say Reports to Paris

Paris, July 2.-The situation IN
Spain. far from improving, appears TO
be going from bad to worse. The grav-
itv of the crisis is confirmed amply
bv such news as reaches Paris. The
Madrid correspondent Of the Petit
Parisien.' telegraphing Sunday, says
that the Suspension OF constitutional
guarantees by the government has not
removed the unrest in Spain. The TACT
that the heavily censored Spanish press
publishes nothing concerning the m
ternal situation seems to indicate that
conditions are far from normal.
Great importance is attached IN pollt-
ical circles to two facts: FIRST, that the
King and Queen cancelled an engage
uont TO attend polo game; second
that a special Cabinet meeting was
held. at the conclusion of which Pre-
mier Dato went to the palace and had
a long conference with the King. These
circum stances have given rise 10 all
sorts of comment, many persons seeing
in them proof that the government mad
received serious news.
On Eve of Important Events
+. Cristo Salmeron y Garcia, presi-
dent oil the SnNIl-ilh@b bP"4"iSA
lie vbo has lust arrived from Spain,
also takes a serious view of the sltua-
tion there. In statement published IN
the petit Parisien" he says he IS CON
yinced Spain is on the eve OF important
events.
There are three causes Of discomfort
the dissatisfaction Of the army, the
diesatisfaction of the democratic par
ties and the Unrest Of the masses,
brought about by the increased cost cost
NJ living. Senior Salmeron says that
- .hese three causes. Of different ORR
gins. should produce effects at the same
time events which would surprise the
World would be likely TO occur. The
ornv officers, although they have OBJ
,aincd partial satisfaction, do not trust
the pronnises OF the government, and
co long AS ,beir professional interests
arc safegIarded their cooperation with
,he parties Of the Extreme Lett ap-
pears possible.
The grievance Of the democratic par
,ica is the attitude Of the government
toward Germany. -.-------------
