TASK AT SEA IS PROD|G|0US ONE,
 SAYS ENGL|SHMAN
Navies of U. s. and Great Britain Have Tremendous Problem Ahead in the
 Opinion of Expert
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, July s'2 Special } Arthur H. Pollen. foremost British naval expert. in an address tonight before the National Press club. de- clared without circumlocution that the task of England and the United States at sea was most prodigious task, ,.
 It is necessary, according to MT. Pol len. that the fleet of the allies fight, directly and indirectly. and overcome the submarine power of Germany. He declared that this can be achieved in three ways-the blocking of German harbor exits, the mining and netting ton in open fighting of Teuton sub mersibles.
 MT. Pollen intimated that the bar den will challenge the constructive ge- nius as well as the daring and decision of the allied navies. A feature of his address was his intimation that in 1915 and 1916 Germany appeared to yield to the demands of the United States in order that it might pursue
 Tn part. MT. Pollen spoke as fol- lows
 "War is an affair of commrnica- tions. The United States is 5000 miles from the field of war. Their commu- nications lie over the sea and these communications cannot be called safe today.
 You are raising million men, building a hundred thousand air. planes. denying yourselves food to sup ply the allies. accumulating vast re- sources of railway material and coal, but unless you can get your men to the front with their equipment. can non. munitions and airplanes. and deliver to the allies the raw and fin- ished materials and food you are so willing to offer your interventiori can. mot be effective.

gan about a month ago. The steamers Saxonia and Pentacost 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 <Siver with the loss of one life, and later came an attempt to dynamite the steam CT Mackinac. The Kasaga II was blown up and burned and the Jay Dee $. TIT and the Niagara had their machinery wrecked.
 All of these vessels had been or vera about to be taken over by the navy de- partment and investigations have tended to the conclusion that what were be- lieved to be the accidents were the acts of conspirators seeking to hamper the government in the prosecution Of the war.
 The investigation has made 1t certain that some of the acts of sabotage com mitted upon American shipping and mis- placement of channel buoys and tamper- ing with canal locks have been done by persons who found refuge when pursued behind the numerous islands and in the narrow water ways on the Canadian side of the boundary. <n

Conspiracy Found 10 Hinder Shipping
 On Great Lakes

Washington, July 2.-Secret investiga- ton by government agents has disclosed the existence of great conspiracy to de- stroy or hinder shipping, on the great lakes and thereby delay the organization of American war 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 have been made public. but it was learned today that the state, navy and justice departments are cooperating to bring the offenders to punishment, and that the Canadian gov ernment probably will be called upon for help.
 This plot, engineered by Germans as- sisted by sympathizing American citi- zens. is believed to have been responsible for the succession of accidents" to lake shipping, especially in the neighborhood of the Sault Ste. Marie canal which be-

LIFE INSURANCE ID EVERY MAN IN ARMY ||S GIVEN APPROVAL

Washington, July 2.-Issuance by the government itself of the insurance that
 is to be given to every man in the coun-
 try's fighting forces, was approved today
 by more than a hundred prominent insur-
 ance company officials in conference at
 the treasury department. Legislation to
 carry such plan into effect will be asked |of Congress at this session.
 Creation of a bureau of service insur-
 ance or extension of the present war risk
 bureau to undertake the work probably
 will be proposed. The detail will be worked out by committee of insurance men, cooperating with Secretary McAdoo
 and officials of the war, navy and com
 merce departments, and of the council of national defense.
 The insurance officials who came to the treasury today at MT. McAdoo's invita- ton told Secretary McAdoo that they are not eager to handle the business, as they have no precedent figures upon which to compute risk.
 Most of the companies suggested that the government should guarantee a lim- ited indemnity. and permit individuals in the service to carry further insurance in private companies.

RACE RIOT FEARED
 IN NORTH ALABAMA


 Tuscumbia, July 2.-Much excitement and uneasiness over a possible race clash exists in Spring Valley neighborhood, near here, over the killing of Jim Dent, well known negro character, by Edward Me- Clung and Alb Gasque, two highly re- spected white citizens. A crowd of ne groes is said to have caught McClung' s brother forcing him to swallow match heads until he had convulsions. A negro. an alleged doctor. gave the youth at tention and the negroes warned him of dire vengeance if he told of his experi- ence.
 For two days the youth remained quiet through fear, but finally told his brother and brother-in-law. Dent visited Edward McClung's home and when an attempt was made to arrest him he fled and put up a fight. It was then the two white men killed him. Dent recently completed a term in the penitentiary and is claimed to have harbored a grudge against the two white men for not keeping him out of jail
 Other negroes with bad regulations have warrants out for their arrest, and more trouble is feared.

 Fer the last four days the war minis ter has been continuously at the front, spending every effort to urge the troops tu advance. He finally rode to the front line trenches and placing himself at the head of the troops, gave the order to advance.
 The spectacle of the popular war min lister on the firing line accomplished what oratcry had failed to do, and the Rus sian line swept forward into the German trenches
 Petrograd, July 2.-War Minister Ke- rensky has issued an appeal to all the Russian armies to take the offensive. He says that Austria and Germany have re- piled to- Russ,as appeal to all democra- cies in favor of peace by the dishonorabie proposal that Russia should conclude 3 separate peace which would enable then to crush Russia s western allies < On Russia's rejection of the proposal the enemy, says the war minister, threat ened an offensive gainst Russia and the freedom of the country and the revolution itself were in danger.
