OLeary Still Absent
AS His Case Is Called

Jeremiah O'Leary, the fugitive Irish
agltator, who is under Indictment in
the Federal District Court on charges
of obstructing the operation of the So
lectlve service act, failed to apnear
yesterday when his case was called bv
Judge Rufus Foster. O'Leary has been
missing since May 8, and nation-wide
search for him is being conducted bv
Charles De Woody, of the Department
of Justice. ~'''
The American Truth Society, "Bull"
tlncorporated), Adolph Stern and Lu-
ther 5. Bedford were indicted with the
missing man. All were in court yes-
teray The corporations were renre-
sented by counsel. After conference
with Assistant United States ATTORNEY
Earl Barnes and Colonel Thomas Eel
der, attorney for OLeary, the case was
adjourned until May 81.
Fear was expressed by friends of
O'Leary yesterday that he would never
be found alive. They point out that he
had been working hard on the prem
aration of his case before he left here.
and that his general health was yery
bad. They suggest that his mind may
nave given away under the strain Of
worry over his case, and that there is
a possibility that he may have killed
himself.
The missing mans automobile was
found yesterday at Newburgh, where ac-
ccording. to the police it was placed on
May II by his brother, Dr.. Daniel
O'Leary, who lives there. DR.. O'Learv
said that John OLeary, anothei
brother of the fugitive, had driven
the car to his place from New York
last week.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The arrest
of DR.. Anton Bonaventura Yeglitch,
Prince Archbishop of Laybach, has

roar in Slovenia," says statemene
made public by the Serbian Press Bu

Austrian defeat in Serbia and the de-

"This opened the eyes of the Slove-

France Mulcted
OF $10,000,0OO by
Godsol, Is Charge
Deprived of Offered Reduc-

u. S. Attorney
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune,

Especial Dispatch to The Tribure)
WASHINGTON, May 23.--In opening
the attack on Frank J. Godsol, the ex-
French soldier charged with false pre-
tense in the sale of American and
Italian auto trucks to the French gov
ernment, District Attorney j. J. Laskey
charged in the District Supreme Court
to-day that Godsol had defrauded
France of not less than s10.O00,000
Mr.. Laskcy asserted the Pierce-Ar-
row Company sent an agent to Paris
to sell trucks, with authority to offer
the French government discount from
the list price of Is per cent. The COM
pany, he said, had previously offered a
discount of 1914 per cent on its truck
through the French purchasing mis-
sion in America.
The offer of Is per cent, he said, was
never communicated to the French gov
ernment, because Mr.. Perry, the agent,
met an agent of Godsol, named Heliopo-
lis, and entered into a contract with
him, by which the Godsol representa- :
tive should receive 7h per cent. Perry
should receive 21z per cent and the
French government should be allowed
discount of tx per cent from the list
price.
Actually, however, the Pierce-Arrow
company, Mr.. Laskey stated, allowed
the French government at that time a
discount of 121a per cent, despite the
commissions of Perry and Heliopolis.
Ex-senator Bailey, of GodsoPs coun-
sci, said this offer of Is per cent dis.
count was not communicated to the
French purchasing Office, because Mr.
Perry was waved away with state.
ment that they were not interested in
any more trucks. Mr.. Bailey also said
he could prove that the Is per cent
offer was not general offer, but ap
piled only to different model thar

Loss by U-Boats
Only a Third of
That of Year Ago
Uni6cation Of Sea Com
mand an Important Factor,
Says Naval Expert

LONDON, Nav 23.-The naval cor
respondent of "The Daily News"
analyzing the shipping losses for April,
points out that the total of Allied and
neutral sinkings was hardly more than
third of that of year ago, while
there is not any likelihood, he says,
that there has been any marked decrease
in the shipping entering and clearing
the ports of the United Kingdom.
Although the effects of blocking the
bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend and the
placing of the great new mine field in
the North Sea are not yet known, the
Germans in the whole first quarter of
1918, the correspondent shows, sank
little more shipping than they did last
year in single month, while the total
losses for each quarter from April
1917, up to the present have steadily
fallen.
eve are entirely justified in believ-
ing this improvement will continue and
be progressive" he writes.
Discussing the recent statement by
Admiral Won Capelle, the head of the
German Admiralty, that the number Of
German submarines had increased, the
correspondent declares that the rate
of destruction of U-boats has now
passed the rate of construction. and
he asks why. if the number has grown.
an increased number of Uboats is
doing SO very much less damage
The correspondent gives several rea-
sons for the lower rate of sinkings.
Among these is the convoy system.
Another is the arming of merchantmen,
while the increased number of destroy
ers, patrol boats and sea planes is also
a factor. Perhaps most important of
all, he thinks, is the unification of
command and methods in the Mediter-
ranean. He also points to the increased
Generalization and poor training of the
German crews. Admiral Won Capelle' IS
confident words, he declares, are falsi-
fed by the facts.
The correspondent further asserts
that the construction of new tonnage
throughout the world has overtaken the
rate of destruction, while the British
themselves are within reasonable dis
tance of the point where their own out.

U-Boat Skipper Betrayed -Four
Enemy Submarines to British
Louis Tracy at Artists Ex bit to Aid Blind Tells How
Captive to Save Himself, Caused Destruction
of German Craft

The story of German U-boat skip
per whose anxiety for his own safety
as prisoner on a British submarine
betrayed four U-boats to British de-
stroyers was told by Louis Tracy yes
terday at the American Artists Ex-
hibit in the Anderson Galleries in aid
OF the American. British. French,
Belgian Permanent Blind War Relief
Fund. Mr.. Tracy gave up writing
novels to offer his services to the Brit
:sh government, and is associated with
the British War Mission in this coun-
try.
"A British submarine was lying off
the coast Of Ireland and had come to
the surface" he said. "As she Law
quietly with her officers and crew as
sembled on the deck for relaxation,
there suddenly appeared, not more
than forty feet away, the periscope of
a German U-boat, which apparently had
been oblivious of the presence of the
British submarine.
U-Boat is Captured
THE British craft Immediately fired
and disabled the Uboat, so that the
British were able to capture her with
her commanding officer and men. The
men were kept on the German boat
but the commander was taken aboard
the British submarine, where he was
accorded a chatting but not altogether
unpleasant reception. The British com.
mander handed him some cigarettes
and he was taken below and given 8
glass of wine
despite these hospitalities, he
seemed very much i'll at ease and kept
taking out his watch.
Finally he informed the British com
mander that there were four other Ger
man U-boats in the vicinity. He knew
that if one of these should first OBJ
serve the British submarine he
together with the British officers, woult
be sent to the bottom.

Gently, was brought up for discussion
in Parliament to-day. Foreign Min

German Minister why these vessels

piled that the danger zone in the
Arctic still existed.
When it was pointed out that the
submarines had even fired on life

he knew nothing about it, and prom
that this practice be stopped. He
asked for official reports regarding
these cases. Maritime tribunals will
make an investigation, and their find
