I like Malcolm Stuart more when

London, May 5.-The British forces

Fighting of terrible intensity ragged
throughout the day at the main points
Of the British attack.
"The battling" says the CORE
spondent, "has been in many places
of ding-dong- order, which renders it
extremely difficult to define the situa-
ton, but l think it may certainly be
claimed as a successful day for our
gallant troops. The most conspicu-
Gus gains have been on the TANKS of
the long front, while towards the cen
ter, up the valley of the Scarpe, we
have made less progress owing to the
intensity of concealed machine gun
fire.
Despite the opposition of massed
German forces, the Canadian troops
took Fresnoy."

U. S. DEVICE TO STOP U-B0ATS
Chairman of Naval Board Wins Gen.
sure by Comment on "Sub"
Destroyer.

New York, May S.-American inven-
tive guns has found the solution of
the German submarine problem and
new American inventions will end the
submarine peril.
This statement was made by Will
liam L. Saunders as an expression of
personal opinion and not in his Off
cial capacity as chairman of the naval
consulting board. He was careful to
disclaim official authorization for it.
A reporter received from an inventor
an account of one of the inventions
upon which it seems certain the orig
inal announcement of Mr.. Saunders
was based. No details can be given.
This much, however, can be said:
The invention is designed for agrees
sive warfare against submarines. 1t is
the result of the genius Of a man living
in New York. 1t has been accepted by
the Washington government.
1t has been given a fairly extensive
test by the British admiralty.
The inventor says that the British
admiralty test has convinced him of
the practical merit of his invention.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee Will
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

WaShington.-Creati of a central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever,
financial expert of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
]. P. Morgan & Co.
Discus sing the world financial situa-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, "for all their
boosted efficiency. have never had the
courage to face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
it,"
The TeutOnic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained. their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
date a large part of their debt or face
ludDllllS ~ DuS tilc enOIlnOuS qudutl-
ties of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war "by the straightfOr-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rails
ing loans" AS result, he predicted
that the end of the war would find the
allies in good shape financially, despite
their enormous permanent debts.

PASS ESPIONAGE BILL
VOTE ON MEASURE IN HOUSE is
26o TO los.
Censorship Section Is Modified--Sen-
ate Substitutes Export Embargo
Clause of Proposed Act.

Washington, May 1.-THE admins
tration espionage bill was passed on
Friday by the house, 260 to 105, with
modified censorship section.
Under the new censorship section
very wide discretion to prohibit pub
lication of information would be
lodged in, the president, who would
prohibit publication by proclamation.
An overwhelming defeat of the Sec
ton as drawn by the administration
forced the acceptance of a more lib
eral provision.
The new section makes 1t necessary
to show that publication of prohib-
tied information has been of value to
the enemy before penalties of the
law become effective.
By a vote of 40 to 30 the senate sub
stituted the export embargo clause of
the espionage bill suggested by Presi-
dent Wilson with one restricting the
presidents authority to embargo ex-
ports only when American products
are reaching the enemy.

BANKS ASKED TO COOPERATE
Secretary Authorizes Financial insti-

Washington.-Secret McAdOO tele-

al and state banks and trust companies
in the United States, authorizing them
to receive subscriptions for the $1,000
100000 bond offering, enlisting their
cooperation, and requesting them to
telegraph a rough estimate of the
amount of bonds each would take for
itself and it's patrons.
"You can render an invaluable serv-
ice to your country" Mr.. McAdoo told
the banks, ''by receiving subscriptions
and cooperating with the federal re-
serve bank in your district"
Loan Subscriptions Pour In.
To all clearing house associations in
the country Mr.. McAdOo sent tele-
gram in which he said:
1.-The amount of the initial loan has
been determined by the needs of the
government and not arbitrarily. The
enthusiastic and patriotic cooperation
of the banks and bankers of the coun-
try will guarantee the success of the
undertaking"
The result of the first announcement
of the loan has been q deluge of sub
scriptiOns, aggregating many millions.
Most of these came in by wire to the
treasury. Virtually every large city
and every state in the Union was rep
resented.
Lend $1oooo0,ooo to Italy.
Negotiations continued today with
representatives of the nations to

ambassador, received the full amount
of the first $1OO,OOO,OOO loan made by
this government to Italy.
Subscriptions to the second offering
of treasury certificates were received
during the day by the federal reserve

tary will call for the proceeds within
a week, possibly a few days.
