The admiralty announcement was:
About 10 o'clock on June 27, 116
miles southwest of Fastnet the hos
pital ship Llandovery Castle was tor
pedoed by an enemy submarine and
sank in about 10 minutes. She was
homeward bound from Canada and
therefore there We're no sick or

she carried so Canadian army medi-

"Of this total of 25S only one boat
containing "a survivors has so far
reached port. Search is still being
made and there is a bare possibility
that others may yet be found
II is to be noted that in this, as
indeed in all other instances the Ger
man submarine had a perfect right to
stop and search the hospital ship IN
der The Hague convention, but she
preferred to torpedo the Llandoyery
Castle
Subsequently the admiralty issued
the following comment on the sink

"Germany's awful debt TO the world

General Diaz probably has expected

situation. In attacking there himself
he has carried the fight to the foe,
gained strong positions at vital point
and broke up some of the prepare

BRITISH SMASH HUN
LINES In FLANDERS
BRITISH ADVANCE MILE IN FLAN.
DERS ON FRONT OF OVER
THREE MILES.

London.-British troops in attacks
against the Germans have advanced
their line over front of nearly three
and half miles to an average depth
OF nearly a mile east of the Nieppe
fef.st, which lies between Baillieaul
and Bethune. according to the British
official communication issued this
evening West of Merits Australian
troops also captured enemy positions.
On both sectors prisoners and ma
chine guns were taken.
The operation was an unqualified
success from its inception, and TIE at
lacking infantry reached all their or
jeetiYes in remarkably short time.
By this thrust the British not only
have greatly improved their position
in this important and much-contested
sector, which lies just north of Mer-
vile. but they inflicted heavy punish
nent on two hostile divisions that
were holding the line here-the thir-
ty-seeond division of Saxons and the
forty-fourth reserve division of Prus-
slams
Large numbers of the enemy were
killed in the hurricane onslaught and
some $50 OF the more fortunate had
been collected in the prisoner cages
before noon.
The front of the attack was 5000
yards in length and lay approximate
ly between Vieux Berquin on the
north and Pont Journal, which is 3
600 yards northwest of Melville, on
the south.
The first stages of the drive were
comparatively easy. In fact all the
final detectives we're reached without
much difficulty.
At two strongly fortified farms near
the center of the line the enemy
fought stubbornly, but was unable to
stand out long against the furious on
slaughts OF the British, who attacked
them from all directions.
The losses among the storming IN
fantry for the entire engagement
were extremely light. which was due
largely to the fact that the show was
over before the enemy was able to
organize serious resistance.
As a special feature of the program
Australian troops on the left of the
columns carried out a stimulated Of
tack of their own, which had an amaz-
ing result, adding nearly half hun
dred prisoners to the bag.

P|CKETING ILLEGAL
WITHIN THE STATE
CLAIMS PIcKETING AS AN AIDTo
INDUSTRIAL STRIKES SOME
WHAT OF AN INNOVATION.
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
Declares 1t Is a Question of First I'M

Der Of Other States Like This One
Have No Cases On the Subject
Little Rock

Little RoCk.-
Picketing business houses by strik
ers as practieed by members of la
Dor unions during the strike of hotel
and restaurant employees several
months age was declared Illegal by
the Arkansas Supreme Court. Justice
Frank Smith wrote the opinion and
was sustained by Chief Justice Nc
Hlloch and Justice Wood, while JUS
tees Hart and Humphreys dissented.
The opinion in part follows:
"Picketing as an aid to industrial
strikes is somewhat of an innovation
in the economic life of the nation, and
the law on the subject is in the form
alive period. 1t is question of first
impression in this state, and a num-
Der of other states like this one have
no cases on the subject. Cases from
other courts, state and federal, are
not always in harmony.
early cases unfolding the right OF
picketing liken that action to the OK
ercise of the right of free speech.
This was upon the theory that as a
striker might tell an individual citi-
zen his grievance and thereby appeal
to him for support of his strike, so
he might employ any lawful and pro
per means which gave the greatest
effect to that right, and that he might
therefore inseribe his grievances
upon plaeards to be seen at a dis
lance and to be read by many at the
same time. provided the inscription
was net libelous or otherwise unlaT-
full But it appears in the history of
this movement as reflected in the
opinions of the court on the subject,
that there has been an extension CT
the rights claimed by the labor unions
in this respect. And the differences
which appear in the decisions of the
courts largely arise out OF the con
trariety of his view as to when the
assertion of this right by the labor
union to give notice of its grievances
becomes an infringement an the right
Of others by eoereing those into COM
pliance with the demands of organic
ed labor-for. as has been stated, the
cases all agree in holding that any
conduct on the part of pickets which
amounts to coercion is unlawful AMI
will be enjo'ned.
But as L cases continued to come
before the courts and the law to he
moulded, it became more and more
apparent that picketing was resorted
to not alone for the purposes of pub
hcity and persuasion, but for coer-
cion and intimidation as we'll"
