BRITISH II Z A DQUA ERS IN

p.m-Another of the continuing Brit
ish attacks was launched against the
Germans early this morning Hard
fighting is in progress under a warm
spring sun. There has been no rain
for more than ten days now, and the
battlefields at times are enveloped in
dust.
British reinforcements moving along
the roads toward the front look like
millers under heavy layers of chalk
white powder.
Reports from the battle front are as
yet meager. but il appears that salts
factory progress is being made. The
attack was on a wide front. At Bull
lecourt the British took another bite
into the Hindenburg line just north of
it's point of junction with the Dro-
court-Queant switch.
Good progress was also reported
early in the direction of Cherisy and
Fresnoy. Fresnoy is just east of Ar
leuX, which was captured last Friday
by the Canadians. These two villages
having been 1ooped about with intri-
cate trench reinforcements form one
of the strongest points on the Meri-

MEN MAY BE PAID while
TRAINING FOR OFFICERS
Conferees on Army Appropriation
Bill Insert Provision for
500 Month.

The conferees on the army appro-
priation bill today inserted in that
measure a provision authorizing the
Secretary of War to pay to men des-
ignated by him for training as officers
in the army 500 a month during the
period of their training. They will re-
ceive this sum in addition to the al
lowances for subsistence, uniforms, etc
They must agree, however, to accept
appointment in the officers reserve
Corps in such grade as may be rendered
by the Secretary of War.
There has been great interest in the
matter of pay of men training for the
officers Reserve Corps. since it was
announced by the War Department
that for a period of three months
training the men would not be COM
missioned or receive pay, but merely
subsistence allowances etc.
Members of the Senate and House
have felt that to deny the men in train
ing for commissions in the Officers Re-
serve Corps would be to limit the ap-
plicants in large part to men of con-
siderable means. They insisted that
it was only fair to pay the men in
training during the probationary
period.

SAY U-BOAT WARFARE
IS MORE STRENUOUS
Americans Arriving in England Tell
of Experiences With Subma-
rines on Way Over.

LONDON, May 3, 1:10 p.m.-Americar r
citizens landed during the past few days
from vessels sunk by submarines tel
remarkable tales of the strenuous ex-
ploits of the u-boats. In one case three
undersea boats appeared simultaneous
ly alongside the ship, one being a sub
marine cruiser 800 feet long and the
others fashioned submarines with a
length of about 120 feet.
In another case a German submarine
wore an elaborate disguise of a fish,
ing boat. This submarine carried a
gun which had a range of nearly five
miles.
In at least two cases the crews OF
vessels sunk by submarines were res
cued from open boats by passing ship
only to suffer a repetition of the dis
aster when the ship on which they had
taken refuge fell prey to an under
water boat.
The captain of an American sailing
ship which was sunk ten days ago said
lanes in regular nests. They keep well
under the water most of the time,
coming up now and then for periscopIc
observations, or on hearing the ap-
proach of merchant craft, which often
can be identified readily by the sound
of the engines. BY thus conserving
fuel the submarines are able to remain
away from their base a long time and
also they find means of renewing their
stores from ships which they sink.
1.-The U-boat which sank us had been
out for six. weeks. She had one British
captain on board.
..She renewed all her supplies from
our boat and took all the nautical in
struments The submarine gave us a
sharp signal to halt with shell from
a distance of two miles. 1t was good
mark snianship. The shot hit the ship
squarely. but caused no casualties. We
stopped and took to the boats"

HOUSE MAY PASS SPY
MEASURE BEFORE NIGHT
Representative Mccormick to Fight
for Prohibition of Publication of
Specific Information Only.

The fight on the censorship section
of the espionage bill was resumed in
the House today, with indications that
amendments would be made and a final
vote taken possibly before night.
In connection with his announcement
that he would seek to have the meas
ure amended so as to prohibit only the
publication of specific information.
Representative Mccormick of Illinois
declared that passage of the bill as
drawn might exclude news about food
speculation, typhoid in the army or car
congestion.
In a prepared statement Representa-
tive Mccormick declared that he had
heard Secretary Daniels recently gave
contracts for submarine chasers to
brokers instead of shipbuilders, and
that contracts were not being carried
out because of the failure of the
brokers to obtain bonds and their in
ability to get action by shipbuilders.
Such information, the statement con-
tinued, might be suppressed by the pro-
posed law.

CONTROVERSY CONTINUES
ON JOFFRE STATEMENT
State Department Disclaims Re-
sponsibility for Censorship, and
Army Heads Are Silent.

Although the French mission has ac-
cepted full responsibility for censoring
Marshal Joffre's remarks on the imme-
diate need of sending American troops
to France. controversy continues as to
whether the expurgation might not
have been made as a result of the op-
position of the army general staff to
sending American troops out of the
country at a time when they are want
ed for training the new army.
The State Department has officially
disc1aimed any part whatever in the
expurgation and has made it plain that
it issued Marshal Joffres statement as
it was delivered by the French mission,
purely as an act of courtesy to the
visitors, because 1t has facilities for
issuing copies of documents and the
French mission has none.
War Department officials declined to
discuss the incident at all. because it
touches on subject about which the
department discourages any specula tion
at this time. Only yesterday Secre-
tary Baker, in an official statement,
deplored speculation on when American
troops were to go abroad, and indi-
Gated that no final decision had been
reached.

Explanation of M. Hovelaoue.

The explanation most freely given is
by Emile Hovelaque of the French
mission, who has been acting as an in
terpreter and who read to newspaper
men a translation of Marshal Joffre's
statement last Sunday. This transla-
ton contained the reference which was
expurgated from the official report when
later issued through the State Depart
ment by the French mission.
Col Cosby, former military attache at
the embassy in Paris. has been attached
to the mission since it's arrival, and of
course, is familiar with the views of the
general staff. The French mission, how
ever accepts full responsibility for the
expurgation and there is not even an
intimation that Col. Cosby suggested it,
Marshal Joffre's declaration for the
sending of American soldiers imme-
diately, coming at a time when Con-
gress and government officials are con-
fronted with the problem of dealing
with Col. Roosevelt's offer to lead a di-
vision to France. if the government
will authorize it. has furnished the
material for a lively controversy over
what the marshal actually said and
who was responsible for eXpurgating it
when his statement went to the public.

GOMPERS ON STAND
IN R|NTE[EN TRIAL
Federation Head Calls Two of
Defendants "PoIiticaI Strik-
ers"-Warned Buchanan.
.RESENTS CERTAIN QUERIES

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 3.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. testifying today in
the trial of Capt. Franz Rintelen of
the German navy, and seven other men,
charged with conspiring to foment
strikes to destroy the entente allies
munition trade in this country. de-
,elsrsd4 that Herman Schulteis and Hen
ry B. Martin, two of the defendants.
were known at Washington as -pol1tl-
cal strikers.
These two men were active with for
mer Representative Frank Buchanan.
another defendant. and first presi-
dent of Labor'S National Peace Coun-
ell, in the work of the council. which it
is alleged was organized to carry out
RinteIen's schemes, with money sup
piled by him.
Mr., Gompers said he warned Mr. Bu-
chanan against associating with these
two men, as he deemed them enemies
of labor When Buchanan discussed
the peace council with him, Gompers
said he first believed that Buchanan,
whom he had always considered
good big man." had been imposed on,
but that he began to doubt his sim
cerity."
Peace Endorsed by Labor.
Under cross examination by counsel
for Schulteis and Martin. Mr.. Gompers
conceded that general peace proposals
were indorsed by labor.
Labor has consistently advocated
universal peace and general interna-
tional disarmament, Mr.. Gompers said.
In addition to advising Buchanan
against the peace council plan. Mr..
Gompers said he wrote and spoke to
other labor leaders invited to join the
move advising them against it.
II tried to prevent labor from being
diverted from it's proper purpose he
explained.
Gompers described as absurd a
question by counsel whether his testf-
nonv was colored by the fear that
buchanan wanted to succeed him as
president of the American Federation
of Labor and whether the witness had
desired ITO kill him dead" as such a
candidate Mr.. GompersN said his in
cumbency of the office never influenced
him in any such way.
Another question that aroused Com
pers' anger was whether he had ever
heard that "Gompers for years had
tried to deliver labor to the trusts"
Violently hammering the arm of his
cnalf. MI Soiipeis . saiu ne Wouid hol
submit to being insulted." No such
charge had ever been made against
him. he declared.
In explaining his attitude toward the
peace council plans, Gompers said he
considered it illegal to interfere with
the manufacture and transportation of
any article which it is lawful to pro-
duce. He said he had also wanted labor
men to support the President in main
tanning absolute neutrality, and that
any movement intended to interrupt the
transportation of munitions and other
supplies was Calculated to bring our
country into trouble"
