CLAIM OF A CONSPIRACY
FOR CONSPIRACY ARRESTS
Men on Trial Charge Steel Corpora
ton Intrigued for Their
Indictment.

NEW YORK, May -examina-
ton was continued today of Ernest
Bohm, secretary of the Central Feder-
ated Union of this city and treasurer of
Labors National Peace Council. who
testified for the government yesterday
in the trial of Capt. Franz Rintelen of
the German navy and the seven other
defendants charged with conspiracy to
stop the shipment of munitions to the
entente allies.
Bohm, in his testimony yesterday def
nitely connected former Representatives
Frank Buchanan and H. Robert Fowler,
David Lamar, Henry B. Martin, Jacob
&C. Taylor, Frank S. Monett and Herman
SchulteiS with the work of the peace
council. He also told how he had used
the funds of Labor's National Peace
Council to pay old debts of the Central
Federated Union and reward himself
and two of his comrades for lost time"
1t was declared today By Martin Dol
phin, counsel for Lamar. that an effort
will be made by the defense to prove
the prosecution of the case is itself the
result of conspiracy.
Bohm was asked by Dolphin whether
it was not true that the defendant
Henry 3. Martin, had told him the in
dictment of Martin and his codefend-
ants was brought about by the infiu-
ence of the United States Steel Corpora
ton and other corporations"
The court upheld the objection of
government counsel to this question on
/. the ground that self-serving declara-
tions made by defendants subsequent
to an Indictment have no value in the
| trial,

BELIEVES U-BOAT
PROBLEM SOLVED
W. L. Saunders, Chairman Of
Naval Consulting Board, For
wards Plan to Washington.
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS

NEW YORK, May 5.-W. L. Saunders.
announced here today that the board
had forwarded to Washington plans for
dealing with the submarine probleHh
which, it was believed. had solved the
problem successfully.
Mr.. Saunders, who has been chair
man Of the naval consulting board
about two months. supplemented his
submarine problem cannot be consid-
cred in reality to have been solved un-
til the U-boats have been destroyed.
nevertheless numerous experiments had
been made along the Atlantic coast
with highly encouraging results, which
led the board to feel confidence that a
successful solution had been reached.
.Tt looks as though the submarine prob
lem has been solved" Mr.. Saunders said,
mot only in theory. but on the strength
of practical tests on the Atlantic coast"
Mr. Saunders added that 500 inventions
for U-boat suppression had been submit
ted for consideration Of the board and
experiments with many of them justi-
fled, he believed. the assertion that plan
had been found bv which the submarine
peril could be eliminated.
Mr. Saunders was unwilling to go into
further details of the boards experiments,
all data on the subject having been for
warded to Washington. but he said the
public had a right to be informed of the
progress made toward nullifying the dep
relations Of the German undersea craft.

appointment of commission on train
ing camp activities under the chair

South End of Sea Closed.

In this connection 1t is pointed out
that by mines. armed patrol boats and
hydroplanes the south end of the North
sea, opening into the English channel,
is practically closed to submarines,
and that they have got through this
barricade only in rough and stormy
weather. These measures were taken
early in the war for the necessary
protection of channel navigation be-
tween England and France.
1t is believed that feasibility of this
plan already has consumed many hours
in the conferences between British and
American naval experts.

Conflict Between French, Brit

Day and Night.
NIVELLE PUSHES ON
IN CRAONNE REGION
Tremendous German Counter At
tacks Meet Repulse-Gen. Haig
Progresses Further Near Fresnoy.

On the battle front in France there is
no sign as yet of a decisive issue to
the tremendous battle which is raging
day and night along a hundred-mile
front. The French have battered their
way little closer to Laon and have
stormed one of the great patural fort
resses guarding the southern end of the
Hindenburg line. BY the capture of
Craonne they have forced ajar the back
door to Laon. but there are mighty OBJ
stacles still in their path. Craonne
formed one of two n-crowned heights
at the head of a broad valley leading to
the French goal. The other. which re-
mains unsubdued, is the sinister Bri-
mont plateau, from which the German
guns thunder daily against the devoted
ruins of Rheims Cathedral. Thousands
of lives have been spent in vain in an
effort to storm this plateau, but its
capture is vital to the French advance.
Heavy German counter attacks have
been repulsed.

Might Bottle Up" U-Boats.

plan to bottle up" German subma-
rines by blocking the north end Of the
North sea against their exit. much as
the German surface fleet now is held in
the Baltic. is one of the possibilities be-
ing discussed by British and American
naval experts in connection with the
U-boat menace.
1t is understood that this suggestion
originated with American naval officers.
who hold that the present method of
combating the submarines after they
emerge from the north end of the
North sea Is bad naval strategy as well
as widening the zone of possible ac-
tiYitY of the U-boats.
