Caused BY Own Torpedo.
Correspondence Associated Press.1
London, May 29.-How a submarine
which destroyed q munttion ship was
itself wrecked by the explosion Is re-
lated In British admiralty statement.
The ship was storpedoed without
warning by the G-boat, which then
rose to. the surface and opened fire
with her guns. The Germans second
round exploded in the ammunition
hold.
: So terrific was the explosion that
followed that the submarine was al
most demolished by the concussion.
Her gun was lifted and flung sideways,
her side was torn out and she foun-,
dered almost as quickly as the steamer.
A rescued member of the nunition
ships crew thus described his expert i,

marines second round we were all en-
veloped in black clouds. We heard

AMERICAS HELP FELT.
lcns Period Of Coal strnseney In
ltaIv Ia ReIieved -


Italy ls Relieved.
Verona. Italy, May 80. (By Mail.)-
That Americas economic help to Eu-
rope is beginning to count Is shown by
the fact that coal has become relative
ly less scarce again after long period
OF stringency and railway trains are
again able to run sharply on time on
the trunk lines across northern Italy.
This is most favorable turn of the
scales on product vital to Italian
transportation and industry.
Producing no coal at home, Italy's
stock In the past has been drawn from
England and France, but with the
French and Belgian coal fields invaded
by the enemy and the difficulties Of
transportation, coal has been soaring
steadily until 1t was practically out OF
use for domestic purposes and all the
wheels of industry and transportation
were alackensd. Railways have felt the
strinSency severely, with trains de-
layed from lack of fuel. All this has
been materially improved Of late Brit
fsh and French coal has been the main
source of relief. under the general
plan Of mutual distribution among the
allies but the large contribution OF
American coal to the general stock In
Europe has materially helped to solve
the coal problem on this side and
start the wheels going regularly asain.

lS-American boys In the war zone
learning from British officers and SOL
diers what the war has taught in the
way of battle tactics are getting an
antidote for the mental effects of their
fighting education. This is offset by
compound Of gardening and pets.
1T is not good thing for these boys
that their minds be centered solely on
stabbing, shooting and throttling,
said young colonel Of the British

the bayonet and jiu 1itsu are taught.

The commanding officer. who
happens to be one Of the men under
whom the regretted Johnny Poe
served, would say little of the work
of his pupils with the bayonet and the
gun further than that the American
boys were keen to learn and quick to
absorb The fighting education he left
to his instructors.

American Consul First Foreigner Thus
Honored in Venice.

Honored in Venice.
Correspondence Associated Press.)
Venice, May 28-The silken standard
Of the proud old republic of Venice,
known as the Gonfalon of San Marco.
now has a place Of honor in the Amer
lean consulate at Venice, and upon
American Consul B. Harry Carroll, Jr.,
has been conferred the distinction Of
being Gonfalonier Of San Marco, or
standard bearer of the Venetian flag.
1t Is the first time in the history Of
Venice that such distinction has been
given to any foreigner and it reflects
the feeling Of the city toward the
American representative for the atten-
ton he has given their interests dur
ing the trials of the last six months
with the enemy Gil the Pave, only tf-
teen miles east ofWenice.
Throughout the political changes of
Venice, the city has preserved the en-
blems which marked its greatest glory,
when, as the Venetian republic, she
was mistress Of the Adriatic and the
eastern Mediterranean and was strong
enough to defeat the Turks and con-
quer Constantinople. The winged lions
Of St. Mark are the most familiar en-
blem and they are not only seen in
Venice and all the surrounding cities
of the Venetian province, but in Corfu
and all along the coast of Dalmatia
and Croatia.
Another Of these emblems is Doge's
ring, conferred in the old days of Ven
ice as a symbol Of the suzerainity Of
the Oceans Queen over the sea. But
the proudest relic of the past is the
-Gonfalon of San Marco, or standard Of
the famous old republic. 1t is one Of
the possessions Of TIE city and the
municipal council guards it's use and
designates the few who are privileged
to carry 1t, the designation carrying
with it the title Of Gonfalonier Of San
Marco.
1t was notable ceremony at the
city council chamber when the rank
of standard bearer of the Venetian flag
was conferred on Consul Carroll, more
in his official capacity. With the may
or and councillors Of Venice were the
admiral Of the port and the high Off
GERS Of the army and navy. Addresses
were exchanged and toasts drunkA ex-
pressing the feeling toward the consul
and the cordial relations existing be-
tween Italy and the United States. Z
Following this delegation Of the
city fathers proceeded to the American
consulate. bearing. one Of the silken
gonfarons of San Marco. and gave it
into the hands OF the new standard
bearer. The standard is Of heavy silk
richly edged with gold fringe with a
giided staff topped by the lions Of San
Marco.
