British Consolidating Posi- tions, Preparatory to
 Another Move.
FRENCH ENGAGE IN
 ARTILLERY DUELS
Italians Continue Their Offensive on 1SOnZO Front. While Austrian Bom- l,ardmentS in Trentin0 Relieved
 to Be Diversion Only.
Associated Press Srmmary.) )

Although on both the British and French fronts a period of virtual in- action continues, except for minor operations by the British and artil- lery duels of violence between the French and Germans, it is not ex- pected these conditions will long prevail
 The offensive of the British on the Arras front cannot be deemed as ended until Field Marshal Haig' 5 men once more have thrown their strength against the 1000 yards of Hindenberg line still held by the Germans west of Eullecourt, anl strengthen the line, on which the Germans place dependence to ward of advance by their enemies to the east.
 Last reports had the British en- gagged in consolidating the gains they had made along the H;ndenberg line and with these completed the expec- tation appears that another of the great battles which marked the prog ress of the British soon will be in full sway.
 Probably finding their counter at, tacks against the French in the re- zion of Moronvilliers, in which they were repulsed Monday night too costly, the Germans on Tuesday did not renew their efforts to regain the lost ground. Instead, they engaged in violent artillery duels in the reeson of Vauclerc. on the Ca!,fornie plateau and east of Chevreux, which lie be- tween Soissons and Rheims, not for getting to throw shells into the al- ready desolated town Of Rheims.
 Noticeable dimunition in the fight ing on the Isonzo front of the Austro- Italian theater has set in. Only one attack by the Italians is reported, and Vienna said they were stopped.
 On the Trentino front, the Austri- ans are keeping up their lombard ments and infantry attacks, which military authorities consider an attempts to divert the attention 9f the Italians from the offensive on the Isonzo. Rome says all attacks there have been repulsed.
 Elsewhere nothing has occurred of special importance.

Mother of Murdered Memphis
 Girl Urges To Make Negro Suffer
Self Confessed Slayer Is Terribly Mutated Body Is Soaked in Oil and Torch Is Then Applied in
 Presence of Great Crowd.

Memphis, May 22.-Their wrath ap- parently appeased by the burning of Ell Persons, self-confessed slayer of Antoinette Rapall, 15-year-old school girl, few residents of the girls home neighborhood were in evidence at gathering places of settlement to- night, and indications were that the mob spirit was broken and that no further disorder will occur.
 Two negroes implicated by Persons were captured by posse late today and subjected to enquiry as to their movements on the day the child was murdered. One was released and the other was ordered detained tempo rarily, but he probably will be re- leased tomorrow. It was understood reputable residents vouched for the negroes.
 Hunter Wilson, county attorney general, announced tonight that a grand jury investigation of the lynch ing will be instituted at once. The coroner's jury today returned a yer dict that Persons came to his deatn from causes unknown to the jury.

 In preparation for burning the body was soaked in oil ana aIter- wards suspended in mid air from the limb of a nearby tree. A torcn was then applied and the body burned fiercely until the scorched flesh or the negro fell to the ground. :,
 Persons is said to have repeated his confession that he killed the child and implicated two other negroes. Members of the mob Immediately see ont in pursuit of these.

Invents Super-SHbmarine.

Philadelphia, May 22-The Phila- delphia Press publishes story today to the effect that America has found the perfect answer to the German sub marine terror 1t is said to be a merchant submarine standardized at about 7,5OO tons or 5000 tons dead weight of such speed that it can, even when submerged easily elude any sur face pursuer and is non-sinkable.
 The craft, the invention of Simon Lage, according to the Press is capa- ble of submerging within half a min ute and had been so standardized and simplified that the first one may be turned out in four months and others after that at the rate of three or four a week. It will burn heavy oil and the construction is said to be such that it's parts can be made simultane- ously in many widely scattered steel plants and assembled in a central plant within few days.
 The vessels are to be built and operated. the story says, by the Mer- chant Submarine company under gov ernment supervision. The company is capitalized at $10,000,0O0 and was chartered under the laws of Maine on May 10.

Inventor Makes Announce ment and Says Govern
 ment Is to Try It Out.
TORPEDOES WILL
 WORK NO DAMAGE
Explains His Invention Is of Solid Material and Will Enciralc Ship, Which Will Not Be Damaged.
 Even Ii Struck By Explosive.

New York. May Hudson Maxim announced today that he had invented and perfected a device that will make ships immune from ,ias.@ors from sub ma1 ines.
 He said that torpedoes, even fired at close range and striking their targets would explode harmlcssly against the hulls of the vessels.
 The inventor made this announce ment al luncheon in Brooklyn. He asserted that the invention would soon have demonstration by the gove rnment, which already has been advised of the details.
 MT. Maxim said:
 Ny invention is practicable for every type of vessel and will be ap piled in few months at a cheap price, to hulls of ships already con structed. The only change on the vessels will be the slight enlargement of the beams. My device is of solid material and eneircles the ship from bow to stern. It in no sense or man her resembles either a screen or a net"

|,563 BUILDINGS ARE DESTROYED IN
 FIRE AT ATLANTA
Work of Clearing Debris Starts, and Rebuilding
 Will Begin in Week.

Atlanta, Ga. May 22.-With relief work under way, and $50, O,O00 sub scribed for immediate aid to sufferers from yesterdays fire, the prediction was made today that the work of re- building the burned section will begin in q week.
 Telegraph ]inemen went through the district today, cutting away wires that might endanger lives while the street made good progress, relief wires. and city wagons began to move rubbish. While clearing of the streets made god progress, relief the human maze. All during the day families which had been separated were brought together by workers of the Red Cross, and furniture was hauled frcm vacant lots and side walks. A hailstorm and heavy rain this afternoon added several thousand dollars to the loss.
 The fire destroyed 1,563 buildings, according to real estate men. Most of them were homes, ranging from cabins to handsome residences. De- partment houses, some churches and a number of retail stores were burned. 't
 It was said that private relief dur ing the fire was greater than the organized work of Red Cross. which was assisted by the Associated Chari- ties and other organizations. There was little or no immediate suffering and food and sleeping places were provided for all. Churches and pub lie buildings were used to house the homeless and store furniture.

 0use Republicans in caucus today to
 moose the newspaper censorship pro-
 rsion in the espionage bill was fol-
 oved by letter from President Will
 on to Chairman Webb of the judici-
 nv committee, reiterating that it $
 mperatively necessary that congress
 rant censorship powers to deal with
 he few persons who cannot be relied
 non to preserve reticerce about any hing whose publication would likely the cause Of injury.
 q have been very much surprised," wrote the president, Ito find several pt the public prints stating that the
 Administration had abandoned the po- ition which it so distinctly took, and till holds, that authority to exercise censorship over the press to the ex- lent that that censorship is embodied in the recent action of the house of Representatives., is absolutely neces- sary to the public safety. It of course has not been abandoned, be- cause the reason still exists why such authority is necessary for the protection of the nation. I have great confidence that the great ma- prity of the newspapers of the coun- try will observe patriotic reticence about everything whose publication couh be of injury, but in every coun- hy there are some persons who are in position to do injury in this field, who cannot be relied upon and whose actions will lead to trouble. I want to say again, that it seems to me inn perative that power of this sort should be granted"
 The house bill carried a censorship provision, but the bill by the senate old not and this vas one of the diff ferences which sent the measure to conference, where it has been dis cussed for a week.
 Tne letter caused some surprise, because many members had under stood there would be no further at tempt made to put through any such provision. Sentiment in the senate s strongly against censorship and un- less the conferees agree on mild form 1t probably will not be accepted there.
 Representative Webb announced he would wage a determined fight for !ne amendment written into the bill a tae house just before it went to conference.
