London, April 25.-Captain Rice, Of
American steamship Mongolia, which
has arrived at British port, told the
Associated Press today that the Mon
golia had fired the first gun Of the war
for the United States and sunk q Ger
man submarine.
The submarine. Captain Rice said,
was about to attack the liner in British
waters on April 10. He said there was
absolutely no doubt that the U-boat
was hit and there was every reason to
believe 1t was sunk.
The naval gunners on board, he said,
made clean hit at 1000 yards. The
periscope was seen to be shattered.
Even more pertinent q fact, as re-
CARDS the ultimate fate Of the subma-
trine, was that the shell disappeared at
once after the hit was made. The cap
tain said that q shell always richochets
in the water and can be seen again un-
less it finds It's mark. OIL was also

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondent
British front in France, via London
The town of Monchy lie Treux, which
lies about five miles east of Arras, will
stand out in history as one of the blood
lest spots Of the world war. The fight
Ing north, east and south of this little
Artois village on high knoll, has ex-
ceeded in intensity any of the individ-
ual struggles of the Somme. Efforts of
the Germans to retake the village have
subsidized on account of the sheer ex-
haustion Of their available forces.
The ground around Monohy as far
as the eye can reach, is covered with
dead, the Germans, at times, having
employed their old tactics of attacking
in mass formation. Letters from pris-
oners written In front of Monchy say
they regard the situation as worse than
1t was on the Somme. while the deaths
are mounting up as at Verdun. In one
OF the letters it says that what has
made the fighting hard has been the
fact that the opposing forces have not
occupied fixed lines. but are scattered

front.

On Monday a force Of 700 Germans
took one bit Of trench from q British
outpost. Tho Germans went on. not
noticing that they were passing an iso
lated trench section on their right.
When they were beyond it, several
hundred British men. poured out Of
this section and the Germans, trapped
between two lines, were absolutely
wiped out in the fighting which fol-
lowed. It was 9 general melee in
which tho cries of the men engaged
hand to hand could be heard plainly.
The number of prisoners taken this
week amounts to more than 5000.
There Is absolutely no index of the
deaths inflicted on the enemy. The
fighting is too thick for the most part
to permit Of surrender of individuals.
Finding Monchy too difficult the Ger

SPAIN is FIRM BUT
WOULD AVERT CRISIS
Warns Germany That Patience Is
Virtually Exhausted, But Suggests
That Break May Be Averted.

Amsterdam, via London, April 25.-
The text Of Spain's note to Germany,
as given In Berlin dispatch. while
conveying a grave warning that the
end Of Spanish patience is in sight,
also contains a suggestion that crisis
may be averted thru negotiations. The
note says In part:
"All the repeated attempts Of the
Spanish government undertaken with
the intention Of safeguarding its sea
traffic and the lives Of It's sailors have
failed in the face Of inperturable res
olutions Of the imperial government te
employ unusual and violent war meas
ures."
The note then complains Of the
series of restrictions Germany has inn
posed on Spain and Of the sinking OF
Spanish ships without warning. 1t de-
clares that these methods render the
economic existence of Spain almost
impossible. The note continues:
"All. these proxe that German inten-
|tions neither aim at acknowledging
the request Of the county whose
friendship until today was un-
|abated and whose neutrality was pre-
served without wavering.
IF the imperial government persists
in saying that 1t adhered to its de-
termination in order to defend its life
it must not be astonished If Spain, for
the same reason, must emphasize her
rights to defend her own life. Despite
negative replies to It's previous note
the Spanish government still trusts
that the German government will be
guarded by regard for the lives Of our
seamen and the saiery OF our ships.
The Spanish government also hopes
that the imperial government fully ap-
preciating the difficult economic situ-
alton In Spain viii enter into dis
cussion OF measures which may be
taken for the mitigation of the diff
culties which have come up in Spain

Washington, April 25.-The house and

army bill. House leaders hoped to reach
a vote by Friday, but this appeared by
no means certain, since more than sixty
members were still TO be heard frcn,,
including Speaker Clark. who was to
'speak today in opposition to a draft
provision.
In the senate similar situation ex-
listed. Many senator's wanted to ex-
press their views on the bill before
coming to vote, and the leaders dis
like to resort to the new rule under
which debate may. be limited. Chair
man Chamberlain, Of the military
committee. expected to find out senti-
ment IN the senate today on an agree
ment to set time for voting.
Huddlsston Voices Opposition.
Members on the floor and visitors in
the galleries broke into cheers at the
outset Of debate on the army bill in
the house today when Representative
Huddleston, Of Alabama, who opposes
the draft, read list Of names Of men
who he said favored it. Among them
were Henry r. Davidson, Frank II IA.
Vanderlip. Frank A. Mnnsey. Theodore
N. Vail, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Elihu
Root and J. p. Morgan. Huddleston
also declared that>most Of the pleas for
war and conscription came from mem
bers OF such organizations as the Har-
ward, Yale and Union League clubs and
not from the working people Of the
country.
