Destroyers of Three
Nations Hunt U--Boats
Passengers From Italy Say Many
Submarines Are Destroyed
Off Gibraltar

Accounts of exceedingly effective
work in the destruction of super-sub-
marines operating off Gibraltar were
brought to an Atlantic port yesterday
by passengers, who arrived on an
italian liner.
Their vessel, they said, left an Italian
port under heavy guard and arrive d
at Gibraltar on May 16. On approach
ing the strait from the Mediterranean
side they and other vessels in the con-
voy were held up because of the pres
ence of U-boats that were then being
hunted by American, British and Jap
anese destroyers.
On May II British destroyer came
in from the Atlantic and reported that
she had sunk one of the big U-boats
On the following morning fleet of de-
stroyers of the three nationalities re-
turned with the information that the
other U-boat had been chased by all of
them and had been destroyed by depth
bombs. Immediately on receipt of this
news the liner was released.

Way to Make Brass
Electric Furnace Perfected by
Government Chemist After
Five Years. Work

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Perfection
of new type of electric melting fur
mace that will reduce materially the
cost of making brass for munitions,
devised by H. W. Gillett, a government
chemist, was announced tonight by the

Lodge Tells Peace
Demands of America
Many Dark Hours Ahead, He
Says, but Victory
Will Be Won

BOSTON,, May 81. - The terms of
peace this country could accept were
set forth by United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, senior member of
the Foreign Relations Committee. at a
dinner given tonight to NJ. Justin
Godart, Vice President of the French
Chamber of Deputies, now on visit to
this city.
Prefacing his remarks with the state
ment that the only thing to do now is
to fight this war until we win a com
plete victory" Senator Lodge con-
tinued:
u lay down no terms of peace, but !
know what is necessary to demonstrate
that we have won the war, and that is
enough when / think how the war will
end, for | know what things will end
the war.
I've seek no territory. We have no
selhsh motives to serve. We are seek
ing to protect as far as we can our
own independence and the independence
OF mankind. But we look for the end
of the war in these things:
FIRST, the restoration of Belgium.
w pCAlc'C tHdl AlSdCe-LOrralNe must
be returned to France. Italy must
have the Trentino. We agree most cor
daily with what the President said in
New York when he declared that we
were just as interested in defending
Russia in the East as in cur own work
on the Western front. If Germany gets
Russia and retains possession of it.
that is a great German victory, and this
war would have been fought in vain.
Finally, there must be a free Poland on
Russias western boundary and free
Jugo-Slav state on her southwestern
boundary.
"Then l want to say that the cause
of the Allies is our cause, and our
cause is theirs. Be he a German or
an agent of some other party or or
ganization l care not. The man who
attacks one of the Allies attacks us all.
The day for casuistry is gone by. Those
who are not with us a-e against US.
That is the unity to which we are ap-
preaching with rapid strides. The
President has said that we are at the
peakin the crisis of the war. / firmly
believe that here can be but one end,
and that is the victory for which we
fight. There may be many dark hours
before us, as there have been. But we
shall come through. We cannot fail"

ator Johnson, of California, carried to
the Senate floor to-day the protest
against the action of the War Depart
ment IN withholding General Leonard
Wood from service in France.
General Wood, according to Senator
Johnson, was about to sail abroad with
his division when orders were handed
him at the port of embarkation assign
ing him to the Western Department.
II very much regret that in this
crisis the services of such a distin-
guished soldier as General Wood
should not be utilized" Senator John
son said. II do not know General
Wood except as the nation knows him,
as one Of our most accomplished able
and interpid commanders-an officer
with brilliant record, whose services
to the Republic have entitled him to
the high esteem. indeed the affection,
of our people.

Fe1u of Next Weeks
Draft Registrars To
Be in --latest Coll

Few, if any, Of Hhe men of twenty
one who must register next week will
be summoned to fill the latest call from
Washington for 100000 men, it was an
nounced yesterday. Draft officials de-
clared that there are more than enough
Class l men in New York to supply the
share of the 100000 twice over.
1t is true, however, that several of
the local boards in the New York dis
trict have been drained of Glass l men.
Rather than call on these boards to
draw from Class or the new regis
trants the director of the draft will
have the other boards, which have
plenty of Glass / men, to fill the new
drafts.
1t was estimated yesterday that there
were $4,000 men of Glass l in New
York, in spite of the fact that nearly
$4,000 have been called up in the last
few days. The city's share of the $780,
900, who are to go between now and
June "a, is about $4,000. About 110, 900
New Workers have gone into the army
since the beginning of the draft, but
a large proportion has been inducted
voluntarily.
The new registration is expected to
add $4,000 New York men to Glass /,
Drlnglng the total to 100000 So only
half of the available Glass / men have
gore from New York Besides this,
readjustments of the classification are
taking many from deferred classes and
putting them in Glass /.
The following explanation of the fact
that some of the local boards have
exhausted their Glass l lists, while
others have plenty of men available,
was offered yesterday at the Office of
Director of the Draft Conboy:
1T is not due to any unfair selec-
tion of men, but to the fact that some
districts had large alien registration.
Their small supply of available Ameri-
cans was called up early.
I'VE are. evening it up by passing
these boards over when new calls come.
Some of the local boards supplied no
men to the present draft Of 18,000."

sentative Olney, of Massachusetts
Democrat and member of the MILITARY
Affairs Committee, to-day expressed
the hope that the War Department soon
would assign Major General Leona,d

Wood and company would make q cood

France declared the Massachusetts
Representative. After paving this
tribute to General Wood Mr.. Olnev said
that he hoped he would be sent to
France, even to command a division
where his great talents and genius
could be exercised"
"As the father of the Plattsbure
camp and the intiator of all the sum
mer training camps" said the Massa-
chusetts Representative, "an alumni as
soelation has been created of 1000
commissioned officers, all of whom are
ciamoring persistently c1d consistently
that Wood be sent over to France to
help win the war" Mr. Olnev conclud-
cd by referring to the action Of the
Kansas Legislature. which has within
ten days, he stated, adopted & resolu
tloH, signed DY the Governor of the
state, commencing the splendid work
accomplished by General Wood while
IN command of the division at Camp
Funston and testifying to the esteem
IN which he is held by the citizens of
Kansas
The absence of any official order
definitely assigning General Wood to
new command gave rise TO-DAY to
speculation in army circles as to
whether the War Department will re-
spond to popular sentiment and permit
the distinguished officer to accompany
tAe Camp Funston division to France
Secretary of War Baker too day an
nounced that General Wood had been
instructed to return to Camp Funston
and complete the work incident to
the dispatch of the S9th Division over
seas. He did not indicate how long
General Wood was expected to remain
at Camp Funston and declined to say
when or to what command his services
would be ordered He intimated, how
ever, that Wood would not be sent TO
California to command the Department
of the West.
When asked ii General Wood would
be sent to the Mexican border to as
sumo command of all the troops on
steadfastly held to his original an
noppcsment that he could not say
where Wood is to be utilized. -
Army men put no credence in the re-
port that General Wood will be sent
either to Italy or to Russia to COM
mand American troops.

work is delightful. She has picked

". . l must beg to differ with
you in your criticism Of June IL.
You infer that Elizabeth of England
was plain woman,- as compared to
the beauty of Mary Queen Of Scots.
This is not true. Documents of that
time all agree that Princess Elizabeth
was very handsome girl (she was only
twenty-five when she became queen),
rather domineering looking, perhaps,
but distinctly handsome. In fact, when
her half-sister Mary was on the throne
one of the reasons why Mary wished
to sentence Elizabeth to death (and
she almost succeeded in her wish) was
because Elizabeth's pretty face had
caught the tickle eye Of Philip of
Spain, Mary's adored husband. 50
Mary wished at one blow to dispose
Of the Protestant heiress to Engand
and the attractive girl whom Philip
was scheming to marry later on.
Elizabeth as a girl had beautiful
chestnut hair, blue eyes and lovely
clear English complexion. Of course,
she was always inclined to be domi-
neering; her clear brain made her feel
that she was more than a match for
most men. In her old age she was
distinctly ugly; because she would not
have gray hair she put on an awful
chestnut wig, and with her faded eyes
and wrinkled face you can imagine
the appalling result!
"Mary Queen Of Scots also wore
wig. and after her execution it was
neatly taken from her head and a
decent frilled muslin cap put on in
stead. My own opinion is that Eliza
beth was extremely long-suffering with
her venomous cousin of Scotland. Marv
had attempted to poison Elizabeth
three separate times, and surely that
is enough to annoy any one, even
great and wonderful Queen!-A British
Citizen"
We offer no defence. Obviously. the
writer is on better terms with Eliza
beth than we have ever been. If Mary
indeed tried to poison her cousin three
times we cannot deny Elizabeth's right
to be vexed.
