BIuejackets Saved.

Washington, April 2.-French ad-
miralty dispatches to the French en-
bassy here tonight announcing the
sinking without warning of the first
armed American merchant ship. the
freighter Aztec, by a German subma-
rine, said that apparently Lieutenant
Fuller Gresham and a number of blue
jackets constituting the armed guard
ofsthe vessel had been saved, but that
II of the crew were reported missing.
The guard with the captain and three
other members of the crew in the sec
ond boat to put off apparently were
picked up by the French patrol boat
Sirius after three hours. Eleven men
are thought to have been drowned
when the first boat to put off was
smashed. The third boat, containing
the second officer and Is men is not
directly accounted for, but the fact that
only II are reported missing, leads to
the belief that it must have been
picked up.
The admiralty report said the Aztec
bound from New York to Hayre, was

EX-SENATOR LODGE
Veteran Legislator Brings
Fist to Young Mans Jaw
in Argument

Washington, April 2-Pacifists who
today under the guidance Of the Emer-
gency Peace federation to protest to
congress against war, had turbulent
time. The capitol bedecked with the
national colors and overflowing with
patriotic enthusiasm, gave the peace
advocates anything but cordial re-
ception.
On the streets the white arm, bands
and I'VE Want Peace" streamers of
the visitors drew frequent 1eers. At
the capitol patriotic pilgrims" from
various cities went over the same
course as the pacifists. urfng members
of congress to uphold the hand of the
president and the honor of the nation.
Various disorders were marked, the
most sensational incident Of which
during the day. was that following a
call at the office of Senator Lodge, the
veteran legislator from Massachusetts,,
by a pacifist group from his state.
The senator was called to his door to
hear the arguments of the visitors.
There were harsh words and then
blows were exchanged between the
senator, aged g., and Alexander W.
Bannwart. 36 years old. of Dorchester,
born in Switzerland, of Swiss German
parents.
Senator Lodge sent his antagonist to
% the floor with a blow to the jaw and
while the office force was clearing
away the other pacifists, young man
in the corridor punrmeled Bannwart
vigorously before turning him over for
a beating at the hands of David b.
Herman, a half-grown telegraph mes
senger. Then the capitol police ap-
peared and Bannwart was locked up
charged with assault. Later he was
released on $1,000 cash bail for his ap-
pearance in police court tomorrow
morning. Bannwart for some time
has been a promoter and secretary OF
the Woodrow Wilson Independent
league Of Massachusetts,. He grad.
