Unconfirmed Report Spread

Sailors Of German Blood Ar
rested; Captain Clark Says
He Knows Nothing of Il

Are there four United States sub
marine sailors under arrest and in
double irons at the naval camp at
Pearl Harbor for attempting TO sink
one or more Of Uncle Sans undef-sea
craft stationed there?
Has anyone been arrested for any
such offense? Is there any indication
Of such attempts? Or was q general
rumor to that effect which has been
going the rounds last night and this
morning merely germinated in q fer
tile brain, one Of the many rumors
found baseless?
4 know nothing OF it, said Capt.
Clark OF the naval station, Pearl Har.
Dor.
A general statement Of the stories
being circulated is this: Four mem
bers Of one of the submarines crew
had made preparations to open the
bilge cocks. They were Of German
parentage. Thcy have been arrested
and are In irons.
Sidelights on the story include one
statement that there were only three
arrested and another that but one was
taken. he having punched three or
four holes In the armor of one Of the
submarines.
The submarine story was connected
In q way with action taken by naval
authorities following Instructions from
Washington to allow no one in the
yards other than officials, employees
and those with the proper authority.
When the z q. m. work train en-
tered the naval reservation yesterday
morning It was stopped and every pas
senger inspected before the workmen
at the station were allowed to get off
or before the train could proceed to
Watertown.
II was said that this action had been
taken In order either to catch men
who had tried to destroy the submar- |
Inc or to stop persons with such In |
Lentions, but Fred C. Smith, general |
agent OF the Oahu Railway, |
says he believes the inspection is
merely in accord with instructions. III
was made again tits morning.

RETIREMENT OF THE
GERMANS CONTINUES
SLOWLY BUT SURELY

With the British Armies Afield,
March 1.-Slowly and steadily the
German retirement continues south of
Arras. Indications are lacking Of any
recoil movement.
The retirement may yet resemble
at least in some rcspects-that fol-
lowing the battle Of the Marine. Then
the Germans were beaten and their
armies were retreating after being
severely trounced in battle.
Now they apparently aim to forestall
an ultimate retreat-after what might
prove a very costly defense of the
old lines-by taking up new positions
previously arranged like those north
of the Aisne, thereby saving scores
of thousands of German lives for use
elsewhere in n last desperate attempt
to force a decision this summer.
NEARING BAPAUME.
Gommecourt has fallen into British
hands and as this is written the won
derfully fortified Bapaume is less than
mile away. There explosions follow
explosions, leading to the belief that
the Germans are blowing up their own
handiwork preparatory to evacuation.
Church steeples and similar vantage

up as the Germans evacuated the va
rious villages in the territory over
which they have retreated and the
enemy has left picked men in carefully
chosen places to protect the retiring
troops. They began heavy lombard
ments of the villages evacuated as soon
as they believed the English were oc-
cupying them.
The German high army commander
undoubtedly recognized the precarious.
ness of the old positions and is now
jockeying for new ones.
Before this process is ended, the re,
treat may continue several miles t
the east, stretching from Arras t.
Noyon. The German high commando
evidently hopes that betterment in thii
way will be a breaking mp of thu
present stalemate and the beginning
of a war movement.
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1917-03-01

London. March british forces
are within a mile of Bapaume. The
German retreat Is still in progress, but
during the last day or so the harass-
ing of the advancing British troops has
been more pronounced. Every sort
of expedient is being used to deloy the
forward progress of Field Marshal
Haig's forces.
The front on which the British have
advanced was increased today to APP
proximately J3 miles by announcement
of the occupancy of positions more
than half a mile northeast of CONNIE
court. This is approximately the most
northwesterly point and from there
down to a position about midway be-
tween Guedecourt and Beaulencourt
the new advanced front of the Brit
ish zig-zags in and OUT.

Front dispatches today declared
Gommecourt fell without blow from
the enemy, the British simply slipping

Evidence accumulatcs that the evac-
uation of Bapaume is under way. In
formation from the front today sale
the Germans had mcthOdiCally de-
stroyed all high towers in the city

ization by the British as observation

hands.
