U S. MAN VICTIM OF U-BoAT
r. A. Haden, American Missionary,
!, Dies Following Attack on French
Liner ~Athos.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Robert Allen
Haden, an American Presbyterian mis-
sionary situated at Foochow, China,
lost his life when the French liner
Athos was destroyed by submarine
30 miles east Of Malta on February
II. Consul Keblinger at Malta cabled
a report of Haden's death to the state
department on Friday and said that
the missionary's address was given as
in care Of the Presbyterian mission
board at Nashville, Tenn.
The nationality of the submarine
was not given.
Consul Keblinger said the Athos was
carrying troops and may have been a
transport. No steps can be taken un-
til this fact is definitely determined.
This government probably will have no
cause for action If such is the case.

CARS RUSHED WEST
HIGH PRICES CAUSE THE PREsl-
DENT TO ACT.
Interstate Commerce Commission At
tempts to Break Congestion on
the Eastern Railroads.

Washington, Feb. "a. - President
Wilson is determined that there shall
be ample food for the people at rea-
sonable prices.
This likewise is the determination
of congress.
The seriousness of the situation is
appreciated both at the White House
and the capitol. Lack of food and
the high cost of food already are re-
sponsible for riots at several points.
The administration and congress
propose to take measures to prevent
this situation from becoming danger
Gus.
The president is pressing the in
terstate commerce commission to see
that ample car facilities shall be pro-
vided for the transportation of neces-
saries Of life. The commission in
turn is pressing the railroads, which
are as active as possible under the cir
cumstances.
In response to the demand for ac-
ton, the interstate commerce COM
mission caused many empty freight
cars to be rushed West at express
train speed for use in moving needed
provisions to points at which there is
serious scarcity. They said the acute
stage Of the shortage had passed.
Officials of both the railroads and
the commission expressed the convic-
ton that the acute stage Of the short
age had passed and that steady i'm
provement in the situation would con-
tinue. At no time, it was said, had
conditions reached the acuteness of the
tieup year ago.

ON SoMME AND TAKE
FOUR TOWNS.
RETREAT MADE DURING FOG

Defended Since Greatest French Bat
tIe-EnoIish Plan Advance on 6a.
paume.

British Headquarters in France,
Feb. 27.-On one portion of the British
front at least, the war on Sunday be-
came war of movement.
Under cover Of heavy fog and mist,
the Germans carried out the greatest
retirement they have made on the
western front in the last two years.
The British have swept into posses
sion of Pys, Serre, Miraumont and Pc
tit Miraumont, including the famous
|. Butte de Warlencourt, which has been
the scene of some of the fiercest fight
ing of the war, and in places is deep
with the bones of dead men.
The German retirement is estimated
at depth of three miles at some
points.
The British expect to be in posi-
ton to force the evacuation Of Ba-
paume, which has been the key to the
German position since the beginning Of
the battle of the Somme.
The points which already have
fallen into the British hands have
stood out in the history of the fighting
on this front and were most stubbornly
defended. Only week ago, when the
British attacked on a twO-mile front
east and south Of Miraumont and Pys,
the German resistance was bitter and
the high ground desired was won only
after desperate hand-to-hand encoun-
tiers and the taking of more than 800
Germans prisoner.
The British had been waiting for a
clearing of the foggy weather before
pressing the advance, but meantime it
is apparent that the German high COM
mand decided to retire without any
further fighting to stronger positions
prepared well to the rear.
Friday night fires were observed In
the German front-line trenches They
were only dimly visible through the
thick mist of the particularly black
night, but it was discovered that the
flames issued from burning German
dugouts.
Patrols sent forward reported the
evacuation Of the German outposts.
Similar reports came from north of the
Ancre, and by nightfall Saturday the
British had established themselves in
Petite, Miraumont and advance til
along the line, meeting only with snip
ing resistance here and there.
On Sunday the British patrol pressed
forward, keeping in close contact with
the Germans, who had retreated a
further 1000 yards during the night.
Thus the way was opened to ground
which for months had been contested.
There were bursts Of stiff resistance
from German obstructing parties
which had been scattered in the rear
Of the retiring columns. A big mine
was exploded in the main street Of
Miraumont just before the British adj
vance patrols entered.

It SEES U-BOAT PERIL
BRITISH PREMIER ADMITS BRIT
AIN FEELS GERMANY'S BLOWS.
Tells House of Commons Allies Cause
is Hanging in Balance Because
of Havoc.

London, Feb. 26.-England is feel
ing sharply the blows of Germany's
submarine fleet. This was made plain
by Premier Lloyd George in the house
of commons when he delivered his her.
aided speech on the necessity to re
strict imports.
The submarine must be hunted
from the deep, the premier declared.
There is no surer way to victory. He
pointed out the need of tonnage to
supply the needs of the civil and mill
tary nation, and declared that the sltu-
alton calls for the gravest measures.
The premier declared that the gov
eminent hopes to deal effectively with
the submarine menace despite the diff
culties in the way Of hunting down I'M
derwater boats, and said that enor-
nous sacrifices are necessary from
the British public, as the government
proposes to dispense with all nom
essential fmportations to save ton
mage.
This was the first time that it has
been officially admitted that the Ger
man submarine war is Gripping the
British government.
1.-THE gravest kind Of measures are
necessary in this situation declared
the premier. '"The government is hope
full Of dealing effectively with this mat
ter, but we should be guilty of the
worst kind Of folly If we rested tran
gully upon the realization of that
hope. We have to face action and
we have to deal ruthlessly and prompt
~ with the tonnage question"
The premier said that more than
100000 tons Of British shipping has
been assigned to France.
The stocks of food in Great Britain
are lower than they ever have been be-
fore, Mr.. Lloyd George said. It is es-
sential for the life of the nation, he
declared, that every possible effort be
made to increase home production.
