PLAYING
AN IMPORTANT ROLE
In THE WAR
(By Associated Press.)

Dover, England, June l. Men who
were amateur yachtsmen in the days
of peace constitute very largely the
personnel of the fleets of motor
launches which have played an i'm
portant part in most of the British
operations in the English Channel
during the past three and half
years. In the recent Zeebrugge af-
fair more than a score of them were
engaged, putting up the smoke screen
and acting as mosquito escort" to
the destroyers and other ships en-
gagged.
The yachtsmen who man these
launches entered the naval service at
the beginning of the war with an in
Innate knowledge of the waters
around the British Isles, and also of
the French and Belgian coastal wa
ters, so that they were able to per-
form many important services.
Dozens of the launches which they
pilot are of American manufacture
Many others, especially those used in
the early days of the war, were fast
pleasure craft, lent to the Admiralty
and usually commanded by their own
ers, who received commissions in the
Volunteer Reserve.
1t is true that these men had only
been sailors, but their local knowl-
4 edge was often equal to that of the
professional fisherman, and to this
preliminary advantage they soon add
Ell the benefits derived from intensive
courses of naval instruction. At pres
ent all these men have become pro-
fessional and qualified members of
the British Senior Service"
/ Although these motor launches are
built primarily for fast patrol work,
they usually carry serviceable gun,
and in several cases have given good
account of themselves in a fight. A
few days ago, German submarine
sighted an American sailing ship and
attacked her Before the U-boat could
do any damage, however, a watchful
motor launch appeared and opened
fire. The enemy, taken by surprise,
was compelled to withdraw his at
tcntion from the American and de-
fend himself against his tiny enemy.
The sailing ship escaped without sus-
tanning any damage, and the subma-
rine was compelled to submerge under
a rain of shells.
! The motor-launch fleet comes tech
nically under the head of Auxiliary
Patrol" in the Admiralty ledgers, a
place which it shares with its part
Her, the trawler feet. The trswler
ratrol is manned mainly by fisher
men, as the motor launches are
manned by yachtsmen. An indica.
ton of the essential democfacy of the
British character Is to. be found in the
good-fellowship which exists between
the men of the trawlers and the meD

Bill Passed By House
And Now In The Senate
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June Passed by the
House in record time the twelve bill
lion army appropriation bill was sent
to the Senate today and speedy en-
actment is expected there.
The House broke its record for
speed on an army bill by taking the

the quartermaster corps, $3,396, ,OOO,-
900 for ordnance, $1,O2S,OOO,0O for the

vices in plants where money provided

During the debate Representative
Longworth and others condemned
what they called over-optimistic state
ments concerning the number of
American soldiers sent overseas and
the amount of arms and equipment
provided for them. Mr.. Longworth
referred particularly to a statement
by Senator Lewis Of Illinois at Chica-
go yesterday that there were more
than a million American soldiers In
Europe.
Representative Caldwell of New
York predicted the million mark will
be reached by July 4.

Investigation By the Times OF a brict

that Miss Louise Marsh had been dis
missed in police court on charges OF
disturbing the peace and OF being in
toxicated proves there never had been
any charge of intoxication filed against
Miss Marsh nor had there been any in
