Russia, whose sudden appearance be-

looks toward America as the goal Of

there as the spokesman of his coun-
trymen. He wants to plead the cause
of the newborn Russian democracy

few days he will go to France and
thence to the United States. His
friends say the former premier does
not like the word Intervention" in
relation to allied aid to Russia, but
prefers the phrase help and recon

Views of British Press.

much space in their news columns to
kerenskys appearance in London, but
only two of them comment editorially
upon the event. One of these. the
Daily Express. describes the former

not of action. Few men, 1t says. have
made a more picturesque or a more
pitiable mark on the history OF the
war.
1.-The democracy of Russia con-
tinues the Express, needed a voice
| to become effective. Kerensky could
have given it voice but failed. and
| the diplomacy which was based on
faith in him failed, too. The allies
made the mistake of appealing to
Kerensky when they should have up
held the authority Of the constituent
assembly"

action in Russia through Siberia, ex-
pressing the belief that this Is a
policy which President Wilson has

Grew Beard as Disguise.
! After Kerensky's disappearance from
| public affairs he spent the time in
| Novogorod, Petrogard and Moscow.
| His wife remains in Russia, In hiding
| with their children.
| Although Kerensky's evasion of the
police agents Of his own country was
| facilitated by a moustache and long
beard, which he grew in his long
months of hiding, he did not think
this sufficient to disguise himself and
added the dress of a. soldier servant.
A friend procured for him the pass
and other papers of an orderly. and
finally he began to move more pub
licly about the streets of Moscow.
Finally he risked passage on the rail-
way and got out of the country.

Specific Charge Against Horning.

The specific charge against Horn
ing is that he was engaged in business
in the District by loaning money at a
greater rate of interest than per
cent without a permit.
The case against Horning was
brought up in the District Police Court
about a year ago and later was sent
to the District Court of Appeals and
was referred back to the Police Court
because of an error.
1t was the contention of the court
that although Horning did not make
the loans in the District. but at his
office in Virginia, just south of High
way bridge, the transactions were
completed here.

TO MOVE FOR NEW TRIAL

A jury in the District branch Of the
Police Court this morning returned a
verdict of guilty in the case of George
D. Horning, a former Washington
pawnbroker. who was charged with
violating the loan shark law. Mr..
Horning gave the court notice that
he would make motion for a new
trial. which stays the sentence for
five days. Mr.. Horning has been twice
acquitted on the same charge.
The case was put in the hands of the

game marked tae opening of the Anglo
American baseball season to-day. The

The American rooters were SO ex
cited in the ninth inning, with tie
score a tie, that three airplanes sailed
over the field almost unnoticed. The
grandstand was colorful with the
women's dresses, the American and
British khaki and the various shades
of the blue worn by the American and
British Sailors. 1t was ideal baseball

stretched" in the seventh inning the
police started an investigation.
The rooters called the navy team

British Submarine
Sinks U-Boat i'm
Heligoland Harbor
1t Creeps Into Enemy's
Stronghold and Ends Cele-
bration of Raiders Return

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The world
knows the story of Britain's fects-the
simple tale of the gaunt gray fighting
hulks that swing ceaselessly in circles
from the Arctic down to Ostend, bar
ring effectively the egres. from German
ports of naval and merchant shipping.
Although much has Eeen told about
the high seas fleets, little has been
written-and less officially disclosed
about England's efficient submarine
navy. However. there has been re-
ceived by the Committee on Public In
formation an official British statement,
telling in detailed form of the exploits
of Britons in combating Germany with
her favorite weapon.
One of the most popular tales Of the
exploits of British submarines, which,
however, is not contained in the pre-
pared statement, deals with a young
commander who audaciously crept
through mine-infcsted waters into the
very harbor of Helgoland, &he German
Gibraltar. AS he allowedafis periscope
to show above the surface for an in
stant he caught glimpse of an enemy
U-boat riding awash while the crew,
lined up on deck, smiled a greeting to
the crowds on shore and aboard harbor
shipping, who were noislly welcoming
the heroes" returning from raid on
the Atlantic. A torpedo from the Brit
ish craft summarily cut short the cele-
bration and eliminated the U-boat as
future menace to Allied vessels. The
brilliant phase of the achievement is
the fact that the English vessel sue
ceeded IN escaping and returning to
port unharmed.
Besides detailing various engage
ments in which British submarines
have accounted for one or more enemy
war vessels-it is stated that more than
forty German warships have been at
tackled successfully review tells of
the hardships incident to patrols in bad
weather.
How much respect for the British
many is told best in the official narra-
tive. 1t says in part:
"Venturesome as the enemy is with
his U-boats, he rarely allows his above
water craft beyond the confines of his
harbors. He we'll knows that our sub
marines are ever on the prowl for him,
and how vigilant and thorough is the
watch kept may be gathered from the
fact that though SO few opportunities
are afforded them our submarines have
successfully attacked no less than forty
enemy warships.
"rhe following extracts from an Of
ficial report of operations in the He'll
goland Blight lift for a moment the veil
of secrecy and afford q glimpse into
the life of one of these craft:
Our submarines have been pioneers
in water which have been mined. They
have been subjected to skilful and we'll
thought out anti-submarine tactics by
highly trained and determined enemy,
attacked by gunfire and torpedo, driven
to lie at great depth to preserve bat
terry power, hunted for hours at time
by the hostile torpedo craft, and at
times forced to dive under. our own
warships to avoid interfering with their
| movements"
