Captain of English Royal
ing Corps Met Fatal Accl
dent Early Today
DEAD AVIATOR FAMOUS
ACTOR AND DANCER
Casualty List Among AviatOrs
In American Training
Camps Grows Rapidly

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 15.-Cap-
tain Vernon Castle of the British roy
al flying corps, famous dancer, was
killed by short fall from his aero
plane in a flight at Benbrook field, Is
miles west of here, today.
Trying to land while instructing an
American cadet, Castle swerved the
machine to avoid collision with anoth-
er American flyer who was landing at
the same time. The cadet riding with
Castle was not injured.
Castle came to Fort Worth last Oc-
tober with Lord Wellesly's squadron
and Immediately went into quarters at
Benbrook where he was an instructor,
He had seen long and sensational serv-
ice on the western front in France.
He had made more than 300 flights
over the German lines in Flanders and
had had many thrilling fights with
the boches, but had never been injured
while at the front.
His friends in Texas declared today
when they heard he had been killed
that is the way Castle wanted to
die. He had said many times Il have
had honors enough; I want to die in
the flying service of Great Britain ;. -
Castle and R, Peters were only forty
five feet from the ground when their
machine started to fall. Castle was
driving from the front seat, which is
Unusual, as the instructor nearly al
ways drives from the back seat and
places the cadet in front.
Friends of Castle said today that he
recently had been worried by the long
training courses here and was anxious
to return to the firing line.
Castle was captain in the British
royal flying corps. He had been sta
toned several months at Benbrook
field, where he was killed this morning.
1t is difficult for the driver, when
sitting in the front seat, to see direct
1y in front of him and that caused the
near-collision between the two ma
chimes, according to those who saw the
accident. The nose of Castles plane
grazed the others tail. Castle immedi-
ately dived downward beneath the 9th
er one, and then tried the "Immel-
mann turn, half Loop.
While he avoided direct collision
he did not have space enough to make
the turn, although he all but succeed

WEEKS MAKES ATTACK
ON MANAGE NENT OF
WAR IN SPEECH TODAY
Massachusetts Senator De-
HVerS Vmdictive Address
Supporting Chamberlain

Washington, Feb. 15.-Qeclaring that
a "false impression " is being given the
country about the number of American
troops in Europe, Senator Weeks this
afternoon declared that only "a per cent
of the troops Secretary Baker said
would be there by February 10 have
landed in France.
He charged President Wilson with
" deliberately injecting politics" into
the war and clubbing Secretary Baker
a "pacifist by nature'', Senator Weeks
of Massachusetts today delivered three
hour speech to the senate in behalf of
the Chamberlain war cabinet bill.
Weeks handed brickbats and bouquets
to war department and administration
officials from the president down, with
liberal and impartial hand.
Senators advocating the Chamberlain
bills for co-ordinating war activities,
"have been charged with partisanship I
said Weeks. "But the country should
not fail to note that not question in
dicating partisanship was raistd until
the president deliberately injected poll
tics into the situation by an attack on
Senator Chamberlain and th4 commit
tee itself by calling to the White House
many democratic party leaders, not for
consultation, but to insist that a dis
cussion of this question on the floor of
senate be prevented if possible.
Have we come to such pass that
the action of the most important com
mittee in congress at this time has to
be forbidden by the president as far
as he is able to do soY He need not APP
prove this legislation if it ever reaches
him, but it is vital to free speech and
independence of action of a co-ordin-
ated branch of the government that such
a position as has been taken by the pre-
sident be resented by every member of
this body.
Almost immediately after this in
terview at the White House opposition
developed, not only to the committee S
work, but also to the legislation propos-
ed. There was a cleavage in the commit
tee and every member who moved to
report out the munitions director bill
became arrayed against any legislative
action.'
Weeks declared that congress must
see the means it provides are applied to
winning the war and should not be di-
verted from that course by unreasoning
or uninformed criticism from any one,
no matter what his position may be. !"
Regarding Baker, Weeks said:
:" Ii / were to criticise the secretary
Of war personally, it would be that he
has undertaken too many things himself,
some Of which might have been attend
ed to by subordinates and that he has
been too open TO access to people who

Italy Is Puzzled
Over Presidents Speech
By John H. Hearley

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Rome, Feb. 15.-Owing to President
Wilson s attitude toward Austria, edit
orials in Italian newspapers show con
fusion and disturbance over his recent
speech.
Italy has no such sympathy toward
Austrian Foreign Minister Czernin as
shown in the United States. It is believ-
ed the nature of Wilson S speech was
responsible for the generalities contain
ed in Premier Orlando's address at the
opening Of the Italian parliament.
Abe Osservatore Romano, however,

lean presidents IS message, praising it as
a cray Of light that may dispel the
war clouds; another step toward peace. 3"

London, Feb. 15.-''The French raid
in the Champagne region Wednesday is
of historic interest because American
gunners provided the barrage,' declar-
ed the Express today.
"Germany has professed to regard
American Intervention with unruffled
contempt. This first small achievement
promises what American youth, enthus-
iasm and limitless resources can and
viii do in the future. 1t insures the final

WILL EXECUTE BOLA
BY FIRING SQUAD
IS GENERAL BELIEF
German Agent Heard Sen
tence Of Death Pronounced
Without TrernOr

Paris, Feb. ,5---Conviction on o
charge Of treason Of Paul Bolo Pasha
who will probably be executed by a fir
ing squad was believed in well informed
circles today to have strengthened the
government IS hand in dealing with all
varieties of intrigue. Public opinion has
been against BUlo from the start. The
decision Of the court-martial late yes
terday was the signal for a demonstra-
tion of approval that swept through the
entire city.
Polo S calmness as he heard the sem
tenee Of death, however, provoked adj
miratiun. The case will be appealed ON
teelnicality, out none can be found
who believes there is chance for revo-
cation of the court s finding.
Darius Porehere, alleged intermediary
between Bolo Pasha and the German
government, probably will begin serv.
ing his sentence Of three years impris-
onment at once.
Execution of the death sentence
against Filippio Cavallini charged with
introducing Bolo to Abbas Hilmi, former
khcdive of Egypt, rests with the Italian
government. He is under arrest in that
country where he formerly was a mem
Der of the chamber Of deputies.
Bolo was specifically charged with
having capitalized the company that
bought the Paris newspaper lie Journal,
with money obtained from the Germans.
He is also said to have been provided
with $l,500000 with which to corrupt
the French press. Another 100000
was to be used in personal propaganda.
OF this total sum, 81 1853, 900 is alleged
to havt been transferred from the Deut-
sche bank in Berlin via New York. Dis
CO. cry of this manipulation by New
York state authorities led to Bolo' s ar
rest in Paris.

EXEMPTION FROM
DRAFT FOR COAL
MINERS rs URGED

Springfield, Ill, July 5.-Exemp-
ton of coal miners from induction
into military service in future draft
calls was urged today by Frank
Harrington, president of the United
Mine Workers of Illinois, who de-
cIared that to take any more miners
for military uses would result in a
serious labor shortage in the min
ing industry with consequent loss
in coal production.
THE draft is taking from the
coal mines Of Illinois young an
agile men who must be depended
upon to keep coal moving out of the
Mines Mr. harrington said.
young men working as trip rid
ers.' motormen and mule drivers
are fast being exhausted by the
draft and a serious shortage of Ia
Dor in the mines will be the result
of further drafts"
Mr.. Harrington endorsed the rec
ommendation which he said the ted-
eraI fuel administration had made
to President Wilson providing for
the release of men from military
service essentialu to the mining or
coal.

FIVE ENEMY SUBS
HUNTING TROOP
SHIPS ARE SUNK

An Atlantic Port, July 5.-De-
struction in European waters OF
five German submarines by British
transports and by American and
British destroyers conveying them
was described by passengers who
arrived here yesterday on an Eng
lish liner.
The transports. one of which was
carrying 1000 American soldiers to
Europe, accounted for three of the
U-boats, and the destroyers sank
the other two. according TO the voy-
ayers. Officers of the liner con-
firmed their stories.
The passengers witnessed the
torpedoing of the 5,436 ton British
freighter- Orissa, which was part OF
their convoy, when the feet was
approximately a day out, steaming
west from the British isles. The
OTissa, bound in ballast for the
United States, was sent to the bot
tom by an unseen submarine.
A moment later, however, an
American destroyer in the protect
ing fleet detected the undersea boat
below the surface and dropped a
depth bomb, making a direct hit,
according to the story related here
The same evening a U-boat was
sighted by the passenger vessel
whose gunners sank it by she'll fire
The other three submarines were
destroyed, according to the returned
travellers, on the eastward trip OF
another convoy. They declared that
a large British transport. with 1000
American troops aboard, rammed a
submersible which was revealed
with two others in the sudden lift
ing of heavy fog.
Almost simultaneously with the
disappearance of the first subma'
rine beneath the transports bow
the big ships gunners accountee
for another of the German craft
while a British destroyer disposed
of the third.
