not sufficiently improved but this handicap could
have been removed by little cooperative effort.

BE SUICIDE" TO ATTEMPT
TO INTERFERE WITH
BRITISH SHIPS.

London, May 1l.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated press. y
Suicide" is the word used by the
German naval authorities to de
scribe what it would mean for the
kaiser's navy to attempt to inter
fere with the transport OF allied
troops and munitions across the
English channel
According to German papers con-
siderable irritation has been caused
in Germany by the rapidity with
whichc England has been throwing
men into France, and criticism has
been directed at the admiralty. In
a vigorous defense. Real Admiral
Hollweg points out that the activity
OF the German navy is subject to
certain geographical limitations.
"A voluntary attempt to remove
these limitations" he argues. would
signify a heroic but useless suicide
for the German feet. The distance
from German harbors is too great
for the regular and frequent attacks
which alone could cause continuous
OF channel traffic. \
small German fleet can not remain
long in the channel. for submarines
and mines would reap a rich harvest
among it; and. after being cut off. it
would be compelled to accept battle
with overwhelming British forces in
circumstances

MENT CASE is PERMIT
TED TO GO TO WAR.

John X. Denning, who has been
in jail several weeks awaiting trial
on a charge of embezzlement and
who made bond and was released
last week, came into the district
court yesterday when his case was
set for trial and asked to be allowed
to go into the service of the United
States. He said he wanted to enlist
and go to San Francisco to join the
navy and he was allowed to do so.
Judge W. F. Freeman stated that
if he went to war and made 4 good
record the cast pending against him
would probably be dismissed on his
return.
Judge Freeman intimated that all
men in his court charged with crime
of a lesser degree than murder may
be sent to war il they desire to go.
Denning has served eight years in
the navy.
