SEEKS TO DRAFT ALIENS.
Senate Passes Resolutions Request
3 ing President to Ask Power.

Practically without debate. the Sem
ate yesterday adopted Senator McCum-
ber's resolution calling upon the Presi-
dent to undertake through diplomatic
negotiations to obtain the consent of
the nations Of Europe allied against
the central powers to the draft of their
subjects into the United States Army
Tor the war.
The preamble of the resolution was
nrst stricken out, with the approval
Of Senator McCumber, several criti-
cisms having been directed against it,
among them the charge that 1t prac-
ideally, on the part of the United States,
declared war against Austria and Tur-
key. Senator McCumber said he did
not believe this to be the effect of the
language. but he would be willing to
have the entire preamble eliminated in
order TO get speedy action on the reso-
luton.

Flagship's Helm damned.

-. Shortly before the attack the
helm of the flagship had damned and
the ship took a rank sheer to star
board: the whistle was blown to indi-
cate the sheer. In few minutes the
ship was brought back to the course.
At this time the officer of the deck
and others on the bridge saw a white
streak about fifty yards ahead of the
ship, crossing from starboard to port
at right angles to our course. The
ship was Immediately run off 90 de-
grees to starboard at full speed. /

time. I heard the officer of the deck
say: Report to the admiral. torpedo

the transports astern had opened fire.

Other vessels of the convoy turned to
the right and left. in accordance with
instructions. B crossed our bow at
full speed and turned toward the left
column in the direction of the firing.
20. At first it was thought on board
the flagship that the wake was that of
a torpedo. but from subsequent reports
from other ships, and in the opinion of
Lieut.. X, who was on the bridge. it was
probably the wake of the submarine
boat itself. Two torpedoes passed close
to the A from port to starboard, one
about thirty yards ahead of the ship
and the other under her stern, the
ship was turning to the northward.
Capt reports the incident thus:

Torpedo Left Distinct Wake.

SO. The torpedo fired at the D passed
from starboard to port, about forty
yards ahead Of the ship, leaving a dis
tinct wake, which was visible for about
four or five hundred yards. Col. z,
L. S. A. was on the starboard wing of
the bridge Of the d at the time and
states: I first saw a white streak in
the water just off the starboard bow,
which moved rapidly across the bow,
very close aboard. When 1 first saw
it it looked like one very wide wake

The report prepared by Admiral
Gleaves was submitted to Admiral
Mayo. in command of the Atlantic
fleet, who forwarded it to the Navy
Department. Its text, as made public,
follows:

Azores Port Bombarded.

IS. When l was In Paris l. was
shown, by the United States naval at.
tache, a confidential official bulletin OF
information issued by the general staff,
dated July 6, which contained the fol-
lowing:
".Punta Delgada, Azores. was bonn
barded at 8 am. July 4. This is un-
doubtedly the submarine which at
tackled the f on June 25, 400 miles
north of the Azores. and sank the r

from Terceira (AZores). This supma-
rine was ordered to watch in the Vic1n-
ity of the Azores. at such distance as
it was supposed the enemy American
convoy would pass from the Azores
80. 1t appears from the French re-
ports just quoted above and from the
location of the attack that enemy sub
marines had been notified of our ap-
proach and were probably scouting
across our route. 1t is possible that
they may have trailed us all day on
June 90, as our speed was well within
their limits of surface speed, ana they
could have easily trailed our smoke
under the weather conditions without
being seen: their failure to score hits
was probably due to the attack being
precipitated by the fortuitous circum-
stances of the fiagship's helm jamming
and the sounding of her whistle. lead

Admiral GIeaves' Report Tells
of BattIe-ACCident
Saved Flagship.
LEAST ONE U-BOAT SUNK

That the first expedition of United
States troops sent to France were the
objects of a real attack by German
submarines is shown by the official re-
port of Rear Admiral Gleaves, who
commanded the naval convoy.
Secretary Daniels made the report
public last night, with certain military
information deleted. after he had sent
an uncensored copy in confidence to
the Senate naval committee, members
of which recently inquired to the
truth of charges in the Senate that the
official account of the attack published
on July was greatly exaggerated.
