Shot by u. S. Warship
Lifts U-Boat Into Air
And Breaks 1t in Two

AN ATLANTIC PORT, May 9.-The
sinking of German submarine by
United States warship with a shot
which lifted the usboat completely out
of the water and broke her in two,
was reported by officers of the ship on
arrival here to-day. Because of the
fine work of tie gupners the crew was
given an additional furlough OF ten
days.
On the voyage over. the warship,
previously reported from German
sources as having been wrecked,
sighted three submarines. The gun
ners sprang to their guns. The first
two shots fired in quick succession at
the nearest enemy missed the mark,
but the third went home. 1t caught
the U-boat just below the water line.
So great was its force that the doomed
craft was lifted out of the water. In
another moment her back was broken.
She then doubled up and sank to the
accompaniment of a chorus Of yells
from the warship's crew.
No survivors were seen. The OTHER
submarines, as the destroyed submers-
ible disappeared. dived and did not
reappear

Socialists TO
Modify Stand
Against War
August Conference to Re.
move Stigma of St.
Louis Platform

Looking to the Congressional cleo
tlons next fall the national executive
committee of the Socialist party yes
terday announced th;t a conference
of all national officials and state sec
retarles will be held on August 10 to
modify the anti-war platform adopted
at st. Louis. The national leaders in
tend to remove the stigma which has
been attached to~Socialist propaganda
because of the anti-war platform and
thus open the way for Socialist cai1di-
dates to campaign for Congress.
The August conference will proba-
bly, be held in New York or Chicago.
Copies of the call have been dis
tributed to manv local organizations.
1t states that new pronunciamento
of the party's stand on the war is nee
essary if any progress is to be made
in the next campaign. and points out
that "the right of free discussion of
the war does not now exist" and that
persons who would attempt to make
public speeches in support of the St.
Louis campaign would be liable to
prosecution under the espionage act.
Criticism OF some of the Socialist
leaders not not modifying the St.
Louis platform, and especially their
lack Of protest against the invasion of
Russia, has been widespread, and has
led many to leave the Socialist ranks
or to bolt the party, as in the case of
the Jewish Socialist League, which
came out in support of the war, and of
the United Hebrew Trades, which de-
cided to help in the sale Of the third
Liberty Loan bonds. Other Socialists
went over to the new National party,
headed by John Spargo, or the Socialist.

British Advance North of
the Somme; French
Hold Firm
Big Guns Centred
On Amiens Front
Heavy Blow Expected in
Sector Partly Defended
by Americans

Once more the Germans have failed
slgnally in heavy attack on the
Allied lines defending Ypres from
the south.
Field Marshal Haig reported last
night that the Franco-British
positions between La Clytte and
Voormezeele, assaulted Wednes-
day, had been Completely re-
established" in a continuation of
the fighting yesterday.
1t is now learned that the Germans
used parts of two divisions in the
operation. At one time they
pressed the French back on the
Vyver Brook and took almost all
of the Ridge Wood, between
Dickebusch Lake and Voorme-
zeele. But ct nightfall Wednes-
day the Allies organized and
launched a whirlwind' counter at
tack which regained most of the
lost ground.
Yesterday the fighting continued.
On one sector the Germans again
advanced by a concentration of
machine gun fire. Then the tide
turned and the Allies drove back
to where they stood on Wednes-
day morning. The German losses
were extremely heavy, Haig de-
clares.
Correspondents at the front say the
enemy intended this operation as
a preparation for a still greater
assault. The delay is considered
to the Allies advantage.
On the rest of the line there were
several sharp local clashes. The
Australians again advanced north
Of the Somme.
Paris last night told of marked
activity" of both Allied and Ger
man artillery on the Hailles-
Montdidier sector, southeast of
Amiens. This is where American
troops are known to hold parts
of the line in force.
heavy German concen-
trations are reported in the sali-
ent before Amiens, and observers
at the front continue to issue
warning of coming great as

Man Landed by U-Boat
In Ireland Arrested:
To Be Court Martialled

LONDON, May ga German sub
marine recently landed a man on the
Irish coast, where he was arrested.
James Macpherson, Parliamentary
Secretary to the War Office, an
nounced in the House of Commons
to-day that this man was in the Tower
of London and would be court-mar-
tailed.
The collapsible boat in which the
Germans landed the man on the Irish
coast has been inspected by officials
1t is made of canvas with bottom Of
twenty-three wooden Stats, each four
inches wide, making the boat about
eight feet long and two feet wide. The
canvas sides, about twenty inches high,
have an inner lining of rubber fabric
which is blown up from q valve at the
rear to give the boat buoyancy. There
are loops along the sides in which short
wooden braces keep the boat from col
lapsing.
The whole craft, rolled up, weighs
less than forty pounds and can be
easily carried under mans arm.
When, the buoyancy chambers are
pumped full of air the boat will easi-
ly support three men, although only
one is thus far reported to have been
arrested. In the side of the boat is
hole about three inches in diam
eter. which presumably was cut by
the occupant in an effort to sink her
after landing.
The whole boat was made by hand
and impresses one as somewhat ANA
teurish. The valve is made of wood
and is rather crude. There are no
metal parts to the boat and all work
on the canvas is hand sewed.

Vindication Comes s
When Asquith Motion
for Select Commit !,
tee Is Defeated

LONDON, May 9.-Premier Lloyd
George and his ministry won COM
plete vindication in the House of
Commons tonight against the at
tack on his administration focused
through the charges of General F.
B. Maurice that the War Cabinet
had been deceiving the public.
Former Premier Asquith's motion
for the appointment of a select
committee to investigate General
Maurice's charges was rejected by
a vote of 293 to les. LAsyd George
left the House amid the cheers of
his supporters.
Stirred by the imminence of a
Cabinet crisis the people of London
crowded the public galleries long
before the debate opened The dip
lomatic and peers galleries also
were thronged.
From the beginning Of the debate
it was apparent that the government
had safe majority. Nevertheless,
the session was dramatic, and as it
continued the ministary rapidly
gathered support.
Maurice Furnished Figures
The Premier, who has weathered
so many political storms, was never
in better form. All his skill and elo-
quence went into his reply to As
quith and he met the Maurice
charges seriatim.
AS to the figures on the British
fighting strength to which General
Maurice had taken exception, he
showed not only that they were ac-
curate, but that they had been sup
piled from the Generals office.
AS to the implication that the
British front had been unduly ex-
tended, he proved by documentary
evidence that although this action
had been a regrettable necessity, it
had been taken with the full ap-
proval of the War Cabinet and FIELD
Marshal Haig under pressure from
France.
Answers Political Opponents
AS to the Maurice charge that
there were more than three white
British divisions in the East he de-
clared that the statement had been
made in Cabinet meeting with the
general present and had passed un-
challenged.
Nor did he fail to reply 10 his
political opponents. He regretted
that judicial tribunal would have
no opportunity to examine the
charges against him, for, he de-
clared, its decision would have been
short and sharp. Then he added:
"Since l have thrown myself into
the vigorous prosecution of the war
I have been drenched with cocoa
press slop."
Cocoa press" ~eferred to "The
Daily News" group of newspapers
controlled by Quakers.
Premier Lloyd George was cheered
loudly when he arose to speak. He
said he had been treated unfairly.
1t was the business of General
Maurice to come to the Cabinet and
point out where the Minister mad
made mistakes, he declared.
Has Been Treated Badly
The Premier said:
"A distinguished general who, Tor
good or bad reasons. has ceased to oc-
cupy an Office he held for two years
has after he left that Office challenged
the statements made by two ministers
during the time he was in office. Dur
ing that time he never challenged
those statements, when he not merely
had access to official information, but
to the ministers themselves"
