 Units of English Forces.
GREETED WITH OPEN ARMS BY THE FOMMIES
Officers and Men Express Highest Appreciation of
 Aptitude of Americans.

With the American Army in Trance, May 17.---By the A P)---Troops of the new American army have arrived within the zone of the British forces in northern Trance and are now com pleting their training in the area oc- cupied by the troops which are block ig the path of the Germans to the channel ports.
 Their commander already has com manded American forces in trenches on the French front
 The British officers and men who are training the new force say the Americans are of the finest material and are certain to give a most excel lent account of themselves when they meet the Germans.
 The British troops greeted the Americans not only as comrades in arms, but as warm friends and the work of instruction is continued in that spirit.
 The American forces on arriving within the British zone were cheered to the skies by the sons of Britain, many of whom bore upmistakable signs of battle. They had not seen the Americans before, but they knew they were coming.
 The Americans on the other hand gained all the more enthusiasm by the heartiness of the greeting which they received from their battle scared comrades in arms.

EAST BRIDGEPORT IS CUT OFF FROM
 ITS GAS SUPPLY

Residents of the East Side were nearly cut of from their gas supply this morning when siueen-inch gas main, which feeds the East Bridge port section, was broken by a, cave-in in RaiIroad avenue. People who left gas lights burning all night awoke this morning to find the flame all but out, and breakfasts cooked on gas stoves were rather late, due to the weak pressure which was maintained, through connections being made at Congress street and the Berkshire bridge mains
 A caxe-in which occurred in the road avenue. near Garden street, about o'clock this morning. snapped an eIg1t-inch water main, and the water from this break quickly under mined the big Sixteen-inch gas main which supplies the East Side This pipe slipped down and split open, and a great decrease in pressure immedi- Ately occurred.
 Officials of the gas company were notified at once, and by making con nectfons with the gas mains at the Congress street bridge and the Berk- shire bridge, the pressure although very weak was kept up. Workmen were busy repairing the break this afternoon, and it was stated by com pany officials that conditions will un- doubtedly be returned to normal by tonight.

NOT TO PRESS
 WAR INQUIRY
 UNTIL MONDAY

Washington, May IT - President Wilson's answering opposition to the Chamberlain resolution, which by an inquiry into the aircraft situation the president feels, proposes general investigation of the conduct of the war, prevailed in the Senate today when leaders on both sides agreed not to bring the resolution up until Mon- day and meanwhile regarded some sort of a compromise likely.
 Friends of the administration re- garded a victory ass good as won and had no doubt that whatever action finally is taken will not be unsatisfac- tory to the president
 When the Senate met supporters of the resolution protesting to have votes for its passage, seemed inclined to push it today. Conferences among them, however changed the atmos- phere, and while the Senate took up other business they consulted an agreement resulting, not to act today.
 President Wilson's action in letting it be known through Secretary Tu- muIty that he did not oppose an air. craft inquiry but reiterating that he was cognizant of a "covert'' purpose of the resolution which he already had denounced in his letter to Sena- tor Chamberlain, probably was in- strumental in the decision by the lead CTS.

CREEL SENDS AN APOLOGY FOR HIS
 INDISCREET TALK

Washington, May 17.-George Greet, chairman of the committee on Pub lie Information, apologized to Con- gress today for his much discussed recent New York speech in which he was quoted as having said that as he disliked slummming he would not explore the hearts of congressman.
 q admit the indiscretion and regret it deeply" MT. Creel wrote to Chair man Pou of the Committee on Rules, considering resolutions on the incident.
 The remarks attributed to Creel created a furore in Congress with de- mands for investigation of his com mitee and declarations that if correct ly quoted he was unfit to hold his of- fee.
 It was indicated yesterday by House leaders that the matter probably would be permitted to drop and Creels letter Pou probably assures such a disposition of the incident.
 Chairman Pou told the committee to- day that he had been advised that the letter had been written and would be delivered today.

WOMAN ON BARGE SUFFERS THROUGH LACK OF 4 BOAT Emergency Hospital Physi- clan Unable to Reach
 Patient in Harbor. EFFORTS TO GET
 CONVEYANCE FAIL Mrs. Walker, Wife of Cap tain, Taken Ashore in
 Open Row Boat.

Owing to the lack of water transport this morning, Dr. J. F. Keegan and as- s1stants were unable to quickly reach Mrs. George Walker, 54, wife of Cap tain George Walker, of the McWil- Hams line barge Charlotte, which was anchored far out in Bridgeport har- bor.
 At 8 o'clock the call for the doc tor and ambulance reached the Emergency hospital and the officials were told that Mrs. Walker was in 8 dying condition aboard the barge, A record breaking run was made to the Yellow Mill bridge by the ambulanc.S but upon arrival at the water front nothing in the shape of a boat could be obtained and the Harbor Master had already departed upon his daily round of the harbor.
 Dr. Keegan vainly tried to signal the distant boat of the harbor master, with the stern on the ambulance, but failed to attract the attention of those on board. Then the expedient of tele- phoning to a point along the harbor was tried, but to no avail.
 After vainly seeking some sort of craft to convey them to the aid of the dying woman Engineer Maurice Me- Kenna appeared upon the scene and communicated the motor boat Wink and ordered Captain Warehouse to convey the surgeon and assistants to the barge.
 Upon the arrival of Dr. K>egan Chauffeur Bert Risley and Officer Wa terbury on board the barge, it was dis covered that Captain Walker, dispair- ing of aid arriving in time to save the life of his wife, had taken her in an open row boat to the wharf of the power house on Seaview avenue.
 The doctor had to return to the am bulance post haste and another trip at top racing speed was made to the power house. Upon arrival they found Mrs. Walker was in an extreme ly weak condition. and she was at once removed in a dying condition to the Bridgeport hospital, where it is said there is very little hope of her recov- cry.
 According to the report made by Dr. Keegan, the woman has been ill for the last two days and it was only when the barge arrived in Bridgeport 1 ldIDOE lIldl Ndpldln Wdlkof na0 an opportunity of summoning aid. | Dr. Keegan was most emphatic in his assertion there ought to be some sort of boat at the disposal of the Emergency hospital to answer cases of this description, and said that if it had not been for the good offices l Of Engineer McKenna, the chances are that he could not have gotten out to the boat at all.
 1 Dr. Keegan was loud in his praise l of the manner in which Driver Der,
 Risley piloted the ambulance in the
 wild race from the hospital to the | aid of the suffering woman, and alsc
 of the help rendered by Officer Wat
 erbury, whom he pressed into service
 as a stretcher bearer. At the tinla the call came in, traffic was excep- tionally heavy on the main thorough. | fares and Dr. Keegan said that nc
 driver on the race tracks experienced more thrills than he, as the ambu. l lance shot at top speed through the
 maze of street cars, jitneys, tourins
 cars and horse drawn vehicles.

BRITISH GET
 TWELVE HOUR
 START ON HUNS

London, May 1.-The seven British submarines destroyed by their crews at Helsingfors to prevent their being captured by the Germans reached the Baltic sea either through the straits between Denmark and Norway and Sweden or by way of Archangel, ac- cording to an admiralty statement. The class c boats went by way Of Archangel while the class B. boats took the other route.
 An account of the destruction of seven British submarines in Helsing- fors was given to the Associated Press correspondent in a port where he met several of the members of the crews of the submarines and whence he travelled back to England on the steamer with them.
 The British crews got out of Hell singfors only F hours ahead of the German entrance to the town. The men assured the correspondent that they had effected the complete de- struction of thir boats before leav- ing.
 The submarines, which had entered the Baltic at early periods in the war and had been in constant service since, were frozen solidly in the ice in Helsingfors, which made their es- cape impossible.
 For the purpose of destroying the submarines large quantities of explos- ives were placed inside them and ex- ploded by cans of fuses. The series of explosions which followed shook the entire city of Helsingfors and the crash of the detonations was heard for miles.
 The property value of the craft and the material destroyed reached a total of about 500, 900 pounds.

A member of an American patrol stepped on a harmless looking wire near the German lines early yester- day and a bomb immediately exploded in the center of the patrol group. It had been planted by the enemy.
 The members of the patrol either entered or were assisted into an abandoned trench nearby and the sol diers prepared for a fight, believing one was certain to come. They wait ed in the darkness for half an hour for something to happen, but the Ger mans did not come out The party then made it's way cautiously back to the American line.
