u. S. Not Asked to Aid
In Blocking Neutral
Waters to U-BoatS

Washington, July ct was stated
authoritatively to-day that the British
government had never proposed to the
United States joint measures for bring
ing to an end the use of neutral terri
torial waters by German war vessels.
IL was indicated that no negotiations
are being conducted at present concern
ing representations that have been or
might at some future time be made TO
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Holland
concerning such use OF their marine
belt.
This government possesses informa-
ton, however, that German submarines,
ayailng themselves of the protected
neutral waters. have been able, by hug
ging the shores. easily TO escape the
British North Sea naval patrol, and II
is not thought likely here that Britain
will permanently tolerate such situa-
ton. II is known that German subma-
rines skirt the Norwegian coast and
thus gain access to the North Sea, elud-
ing the enemy patrols.
Naval experts in England have rec
commended the bottling up of the Skag-
errack and the Cattegat, but to do this
the consent of Norway, Sweden and
Denmark would have TO be obtained.
The United States, up to the present
time, at least, has not been associated
with any efforts made in this direction
by England.

ment for one of the bomb murders;
that Billings was not on the roof of a
building a mile from the scene of the
explosion and that no jitney buses
were permitted on Market Street dur
ing the preparedness parade.
Two witnesses, Louis Eris and Mrs.
Fannie Dahl. both of Oakland, Cal, who
were at the scene of the explosion, said
they saw dark object come through
the air and strike the ground They
said the explosion followed immedi-
ately.
The defence declared that an I'M
known man hurled the bomb from the
roof of the building at the scene Of the
explosion. Mrs. Jane +. Compton tes-
titled to having seen man on the roof
Just before the explosion.
John NJ. Mcdonald, a state witness,
testified recently that he had seen Bill
ings place suitcase, which was al
legged to have contained the bomb, on

London. July o-Berlin's official re-
port on the French air raid on Essen,
the home of the Krupp plant, last FRI
day. says only two bomb holes were
found. Six other bombs, it is declared,
smashed windows in a village twenty

were dropped in the villages Of
Speecher, Lhrang and Oberemmel,
where child was killed. and on Neun-
kirchen. where man was killed; on
suburb OF Diedenhofen, where a
family of three were killed, and on
Treves. where the Franciscan Monas-
terry was set on fire.
One airman who attacked Treves was
brought down near the Saar, it is an

Grand Headquarters Of the French
Army in France, July s.--The most dar-
inr air raid yet carried out against the
great Krupp munition works at Essen
was rccounted to a staff correspondent
Of The Associated Press to-day by Ser
geant Maxine Gallois, who defed all
the German anti-aircraft defences and
bombarded the heart OF the German
armament producing factories with
high explosives. crossed the German
front line twice. few over many Rhon-
ish cities and reached home without a
scratch.
The whole flight lasted seven hours,
during which time the daring French
aviator, who is thirty-eieht years old,
was guided only by the moon and stars
and the compass, as the voyage was
made in the darkest hours Of the night,
the destination being reached exactly
according to plan. Sergeant Gallois mar
rated his story in the simplest manner.
He said:
-Four Of us-Lieutenant Addison de
Perdiguier Sergeant Durand, another
comrade and myself-left our base at
nirhtfall Friday, with the intention Of
reaching Essen. Soon afterward we ran
into fogry weather and lost sight Of
each other. l few at an altitude Of
1000 metres and passed over Metz and
Thionvlle. following the course Of the
River Mosellc, which. however, rapidly
disappeared in the mist.
Travels by Stars and Compass
"The batteries fred at me crossing
the Rhine, and as I passed over Metz
scarchlights played about the sky. At
Thiorvillc l heard another airplane
nearby, but made it out to be Ards
sons. Afterward I was compelled TO
travel by the aid Of the compass, the
stars and the moon.
at Treves | saw heavy lombard
ment, which calculated was directed
at my comrade. Therefore ! knew /

| did not see Coblenz. ] saw the re
Election Of the moon on the Rhine and
found Bonn. From there to Dusseldorf
there was a regular sea of electricity,
which increased as | got further north.
Cologne was a blaze Of luminosity,
and at Dusseldorf there were all kinds
of hghts-blue, red and white. All the
time the anti-aircraft guns fired as
passed and around Cologne the gun
rers were very accurate in the range.
Essen a Blaze of Lights
Leaving there, ] saw, like cliffs on
the horizon. brilliant illumination,
which seemed kilometres in length,
stretching 10 the left of Essen. while
southwark was another long line OF
lights coming from the factories. Ar
irving over Essen, / rose TO about 1000
metres. / circled around, searching for
a place where the lights from the
workshops appeared densest. Then !
threw the first bomb.

second. and then the remainder OF the
tan carried at similar intervals. !

ploded. but the probably did 1t was
irpossible to distinguish their effect
