AMSTERDAM, Nov. 18-Queen Ma
under-secretary of state for military
justice, has ordered a judicial inquiry
at Lille against German officers ac-
cused of crimes during enemy occu-

 ing Chief Of Staff Since 1915.

London, Feb. i6.-Lieutenant Gen. eral Sir Henry Wilson became chief of staff of the British armies to- night He succeeded to that position upon the resignation of General Sir William Robertson.

 The government, it was announc- ed, offered Robertson his choice of becoming the military representa- tive on the inter-allied council, or remaining chief of staff under the new conditions.
 Robertson refused both proposi- tions and presented his resignation

Mccoy, Boyd Laflin and Oscar Afford, convened at so'clock Friday morning in the un- dertaking rooms of J. C. Frazier to continue the investigation of the cause of the freight wreck which occurred last Sunday afternoon with the purpose of fixing theliabil- fly for the death Of Earl Webb and John Swift. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Wright prickett conduct ed the examination of witnesses, who were l.. B. smith, brakeman, T. M Sims, local manager of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, Sidney Cecil and Vernon Byrd. Walter Cecil it was found had not yet sufficiently recovered from the injuries he sustained in the wreck to be able to attend the inquest
 After hearing the evidence, the jury returned the following verdict: "To the Hon. C. L. Baker, Coroner:
 We, the jury empanneled to in- quire into the death of Earl Webb and Johnnie Swift. which occurred February 10th, 1918 submit the fol- lowing verdict:
 We find that said deaths occurred by a collision between an extra freight train, pulled by engine No. 700 going south and train No. 52 going north, about two miles west of Mena on said date. That said south bound freight train was in charge of Conductor S D. Allen and 1 crew.
 We find that said collision was caused by said crew of said south 1 bound train violating orders of the company. which require railway crews to take notice of regular scheduled passenger and freight trains. and that this crew on this occasion did not take into consider ation that No. B was on time and their duty was to wait at Mena un- til the arrival of No. g.
 We recommend that the actions of this southbound freight crew be investigated by the Grand Jury of | Polk County, Arkansas"

TWO HYDROPLANES DO GERMAN U-DOAT
French Flyer Drops Bombs on Sub- marine Until It Turns Turtle and Goes DOwn-An Ex-
 citing Experience.

Paris, Feb. i5 An encounter be- tween two French hydroplanes and a German submarine in the English Channel recently, resulted in the sinking of the U-Boat after il-had been bombed by the planes, accord ing to an official announcement by the French admiralty.
 The airplanes were on patrol duty over the channel when they discovered the submarine on the surface. They attacked it, after manoeuyering so that the sun was at their backs, and the submarine plunged, but it did not disappear before the aviators had succeeded in dropping several bombs on or near the periscope.
 While one airplane returned to the base for more bombs, the other kept watch and saw the submarine emerge, after a few seconds, with list to port of i5 degrees.
 After attempting to right itself, the submarine again disappear ed, only to reappear a third time. It's instability, however, increased and suddenly the observer saw the sub marine list still further and sink, so that even the periscope could not be seen.
