feats UBoat In Battle.

CBy the international NessS Service }
San Francisco, Cal. April s.-An Amert-
can-owned ship. for the 1rst time since
the beginning OF the war, has sunk a
German submarine.
The Standard OIL tanker Sequoya,
American-owned. though of British reg
istry, has arrived here from London,
bringing the story of a furious battle
with U-boat on the Cornish coast. For
twenty minutes the tanker exchanged
shots with the Submarine. One OF her
men was killed and three others injured
before shell from the Sequoya's guns
sent the German U-boat to the bottom.
British admiralty officials withheld
news Of the submarines sinking. in ac-
cordance with the usual practice. The
battle occurred in February, while the
Sequoya was en- route to England from
an American port. The tanker still bears
marks Of the fight and will stay in port
here until repairs are made.
Gave No Warning.
The submarine appeared about dav-
light on the Cornish coast and gave us
no warming until a shot'had smashed the
bridge" said Chief oficer Weeks. The
U-boat was less than a mile away, and
Capt. James at once ordered her fire
returned. Before our gunners could do
so. another shell hit US. Then our men
fired twice but missed the submarine.
"A third shot hit US, killing one of our
men and scattering shrapnel over the
deck. Three received injuries Two more
shots were fired by the submarine before
our gunners' aim told. With his fifth
shot he struck squarely. An explosion
tore a great hole in the U-boat and she
turned over and sank, We cruised
around but were unable to find any sur
vivors''
The Sequoya was loaded with benzine.
Had a shot struck one of the tanks, the
ship probably would have been blown to
pieces.
The damage, still perceptible, includes
shattered bridge, wheel house, and life
boat, which have been repaired temper
arily.

SOLONS TO USE
BUDGET SYSTEM
Appropriations Committee to
Take Over Entire DISPOSE
ton Of Huge War Fund.

The resumption of activity by Congress
yesterday, following upon the three days
Of recess. was. signalized by veritable
flood Of brand new suggestions for the
speedy and efficient arming of the nation
for war.
Most important Of all was the confrma-
ton by Chairman Fitzgerald, Of the
committee on appropriations. Of the an
nouncement that the budget system Of
appropriations had been decided upon and
would be followed In the new Congress.
The committee on appropriations will
take over the entire disposition of the
vast war fund of the government,
amounting to 81, 800 900.
Before the appropriations committee,
hearings will be begun at once. Cabinet
officers and bureau chiefs Of all the
departments directly associated with the
armed forces OF the Union will be sum-
moned before the committee at once.

turned out with speed. but at the same
time, with a new regard for the co-ordin-
alton Of the efforts of the executive
branch of the government looking to the
one desired end. prompt and convincing
victory.
The assumption by the Appropriations
Committee of all the volume of the de-
tails of the appropriation measures leaves
the way clear in the Military and Naval
committees for the enactment Of the ad-
ministrative features of their important
legislation dealing with the administra-
ton Of the army and navy in war.
The Naval Committee, as a result Of
this action, found itself free to report at
once with favorable recommendation the
bill increasing the naval personnel to
10000 and the personnel of the Marine
Corps to $1,000 with the added provisions
for communicating the photographic
equipment of the nation, and also amend
ments to the naval reserve law which
will modernize that somewhat obsolete
statute and open the way for the enlist
ment into the navy of the great number
OF trained Scandinavian sailors in the
Great Lakes mercantile marine who will
