length.

Saw Second U-Boat.
Many of the Texel crew believe
there were two raiders operating as
a team. They say they saw another
submarine standing by a half mile
away while the one that got the Texel
was firing shells.
Members of the crew insisted that
two destroyers passed within three
miles of their lifeboat Monday, around
noon. but paid no attention to their
distress signals. apparently not see

Capt Lowry is convinced that his
ship was sunk by one of the new Ger

crossed the Atlantic and did not como
from a base on this side of the Allan

shell picked up in the engine room in

was off duty and was lying in a ham,

a whiz across our bows. I sprang up
and ran to the bridge just as a sec
ond shot tore away the hammock.
Then the submarine rose and fired
two more shots. One of these tore
away part of the bridge and one went

Hit by Seven Shells.
when this last boat was clear of
the ship again the Germans left

the submarine shelled her seven times.
Then she burst into flames. Whether
the Germans set her on hre or

the water and the boat rolled and

JOINT PROGRAM FOR ALLIED
AERIAL WORK.

An agreement under which the air
craft resources of the allied countries
and the United States are to be devel-
oped in carrying out a joint program
was arrived at during the visit to Eng
land and France of Assistant Secre-
tary of War John D. Ryan. head of
the army aircraft division. Details
of the plan necessarily may not be
disclosed. but Mr.. Ryan says it con
templated joint efforts both in air
craft production and in the operation
Of the machines in battle.
SO far as the operation Of the ma
chimes in battle is concerned, he ex-
planned that the supreme commander,
Marshal Foch, and the field commander
ers. Generals Petain. Haig and Per-
shing, will continue to control the air
fleets as they control every other ele-
ment of the armies under their COM
mand.
The agreement contemplates that
each country shall use production re-
sources to the limit in the lines along
which it is best equipped to work.
and that the fighting forces of all
three air services shall be supplied
out of this production.
The air supremacy of the allies is
unquestioned, Mr.. Ryan said, but
without coordinated efforts and coor-
dinated command the c%enteralizeC

THE CENTRAL POWERS

Internal Political Conditions as Well
as Military Situation is a Factor
Hindenburg Said TO be Responsible
for Peace Proposal.


Internal political conditions in Ger
many, and possibly in Austria-Hun-
gary, as we'll as the military situation
are expected to determine the nature
and time of the German reply to Presi-
dent Wilson's communication regard
ing the peapce proposal.
Reports reaching Washington thru
official sources by way of neutral
countries not only indicate the exist
ence of almost chaotic conditions in
the central powers, but also said it
was Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
himself who was responsible for the
German governments accepting the
presidents peace terms and seeking
an immediate armistice.
Won Hindenberg Behind Peace Move.
II was said that at a recent meet
ing of the military leaders and the
heads of the parties in the reichstag
Won Hindenburg boldly declared that
Germany must have peace at once on
the best terms she could get. He said
the armies no longer had the necessary
munitions and materials to continue
the struggle, nor vas there any source
of supply so far as he was aware.
In the light of this situation, the
field marshal said he felt the time had
come to ~ first for an armistice and
then for peace and he urged that this
could be put in the light of a onces
sion to the demands of the socialists
the pacifists in Germany. Prince Max
imilian, the chancellor, is reported to
have strongly opposed such a course,
but imperial approval was given Won
H~indenburg's plans and the request
for peace followed.
