SUBMARINE Is
OUT-FOUGHT BY L. =. TANKER

An Atlantic Port.-A torpedo and
she'll fire attack by German subma-
rine on an American tanker, a Brit
ish freighter and Norwegian fregh-
ter, October 81, 200 miles from the
French coast in which the American
tanker stopped to engage and ap-
parently outfought the U-boat, was
described by the crew of the Norwe-
gian ship, which arrived here today.
The three vessels were travelling
together, the Norwegian crew said,
when the submarine made its pres
ence known by launching a torpedo
ri the Britisher. The enemy them
appeared on the surface, and with
two deck guns opened fire on all
three ships. The vessels scattered
and the BritishCr, being the fastest,
was soon hull down on the horizon.
The Norwegian ship, unarmed, NOV
ed off in an opposite direction, while
The American tanker, turning so as
to present q stern target, opened fire
and in short order made the U-boat
submerge
The day following, the Norwc-
CLANS added. q periscope appeared
about 400 yards off the port quarter
and moved up until it was square
abreast the ship. Expecting momen-
tgriiy the crash OF a torpedo the crew
prepared to take TO the lifaboats.
The submarine. however, made no
attack, but pushed forward until it
crossed the steamers bow and soon
disappeared. The peri-coYc was in
sight about ten minutes.

Blew Up the Family Wash.

Down in Galveston recently an in
nocent looking chunk of iron propped
family boiler over the fire for the Mon
day wash. But there wasn't any wash
ing that day. The prop proved to be
a Civil war shell, vintage of 1863, and
fulfilled its destiny by sending the
boiler through the roof and shaking
the surrounding territory.-Omaha

LINKS ITALY AND AMERICA
Newly Installed Wireless TeIegraphy
Pidntis ti1e Most Powerful That -
Has Yet Been Built.

The announcement that Italy and
connected by wireless teleGraphy de-
serves more notice than it has re-
ceived. This achievement probably
makes a back number of the great
wireless station mt Naucn, near Ber-
lin, which has been so useful to Ger
many and which, when the war broke
out, claimed to be the most powerful
in the world, with an effective range
of between 5000 and G,O00 miles. From
the nearest point in Italy to the
United States Transatlantic station Mt
Arlington, near Washington, is not
less than Goo miles, and to send an
Ineligible message across that dis
tunce might be more than even
Naucn could accomplish. Owing to
the hostility between the ether waves
which carry wireless messages and
sunshine, it is always easier to send
messages long distances in nOrthcrly
ATTITUDES than in those more South,
and the power required to cover
given distance increases with near
ness to the equator. The wireless
route between Rome and Arlington is
for good part of the way at least 500
miles nearer the equator than that
between Naucn and TIE United States,
which fact considerably adds to the
achievement of the Italian and Ameri-
can cXpcrtS.-LoEdon Chronicle.

ARMY LEGISLATION
IS GIVEN RIGHT OF
WAY IN CONGRESS
Some Approximate Estimates
Are $1,50O.OOOl0OO for
Aviation, ,300,000r000
for Ordnance Stores

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Leg islation
for President Wilson's great army eX-
pansion program, calling for appropria-
tions of $4,000, 100000, mas been given
the right of way in congress.
Some of the appropriations are needed
Immediately, as the increase of 100000
men by July l has caused deficiencies.
For this reason, the house military at-
fairs committee is determined to finish
the gigantic measure late next week
and have it up for consideration the fol-
lowing week.
The exact revised estimates will be
placed before the committee Monday, at
which time General March, chief Of
staff. will explain in detail the in
creases in ordnance expenditure-one of
the largest items in the bill. March Is
particularly interested in ordnance, for
he was in charge of that work while in
France under General Pershing.
Some of the approximate requests Of
the ordnance department follow:
Ordnance stores, ammunition and
supplies, $1,000, 100000: armored motor
cars and tanks, $780, 900; machine
guns $500, 900, 900; small arm target
practice, $125,OOO,00O; manufacture OF
arms, $90,O0O,O0O.
The aviation request, which is said to
total more than $500, OO0.O 900, will De
considered the committee IueSudy.
Committee members have practically
decided to frame the bill as the presi-
dent and Secretary Baker ask, desiring
to be over-Eberal, so that it VIII be
certain the war work is in no way i'm
peded by a lack of appropriations. With
the assurance from the war depart
ment that it intends 10 call men only
as fast as they can be equipped, trained
and transported, little objection is ex
pected in the house to the presidents
request for no limit on the number of
men. Senate Republicans, however, al
ready have served notice that they Will
object vigorously to this feature of the
proposed legislation.
The house committee is frankly
pleased at the big increases, believing
that the nation is fast getting ready to
strike some real blows in the great war.
Many members predict that the $751;
900, 900, 900 asked may not be sufficient
for the next fiscal year.
The request is larger by approximate
ly $4,000, 600, 900 than any other appro-
priation ever granted by congress, Its
nearest rival being the army bill of
last year.
Two important anti-spy and seditipn
measures are expected to pass both
houses today. The senate has agreed
to vote on the sedition bill at 4 o'clock.
while the house is expected to approve
the state departments bill to check IN
this country the exit and entrance Of
German spies and sympathizers. Pres
ent passport laws are inadequate, it has
been found

GERMAN PUBLIC PREPARED
BY PAPERS FOR FAILURE
YpreS Strong, British Stub
born and Position Is of
No Importance

LONDON, May 3.-(Via Ottawa)-It
is noteworthy that with the lull in the
fighting since the German defeat at
Ypres all German talk of the kaiser s
battle" has vanished. The German ex
perts and newspapers have now been
instructed to warn the people that no
new Sedan is possible, that Ypres is very
strong, that the British have fought
most stubbornIy and that, after all,
Ypres is not of Importance for the Ger
mans. They declare that the German
command may decide not to take Ypres.
Sir William Robertson's warning that
the war is likely to last for a long
time yet is commented upon in London
as timely. 1t is pointed out that one
reason why American Intervention did
not sooner become active in some fields
is because America made arrangements
for Intervention on an immense scale
and she realized that a successful often
sive against Germany might be neceS-
sary to win the war.
The Times refers to dispatch from
Washington stating that diplomats an
ticipate a peace move and that no Of
fer Of mediation even from the pope
will be considered Any proposal of
peace must come from Germany, the
Times declares, and the allies will meet
any such move with the same unbroken
front as they met the latest offensive.

Only Few Georgia Men
Included in Big Call
BY THEoDoRE TILLER

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 4.-The
largest single selective service call yet
made by the provost marshal general
has gone forward to the states today
and will mobilize late in the month
of May $4,000 men. constituting the
second contingent. of the second ma
tional army
Comparatively speaking, Georgia will
furnish only a. few of this large num-
Der of men, but training camps in Geor-
gia will draw large bodies of recruit
soldiers from other states.
The call is for SIS Georgians who are
to go into training at Camp Gordon,
Atlanta Florida will furnish 202 men
also for training at Camp Gordon. Ala
bama will send $500 men to Camp
Sewer, S. c., and the state of South
Carolina will send 1900 to Camp Jack
son and 2SS men to Camp Wadsworth
Larger bodies of men from northern
and other states that are to go to
southern camps are Wheeler at Macon,
5000 Michigan troops, 5000 Illinois
troops. Camp Gordon, 4,16S Illinois
troops, $500 Ohio troops. In addition
10 the Alabama troops sent to Camp
Sewer, that camp will get 1880 New
York men and 800 New York men will
go to Camp Wadsworth. North Carolina
will send STA men to Camp Jackson.
Secretary Baker told the house COM
mittee on military affairs today that
the estimated army for the next fiscal
year is 100000 men. By July of this
year he revealed the war department
expects to have about 2,170,000 men
and 10000 officers in uniform in this
country's training camps and in France
At present there are approximately
100000 men and 10000 officers in
uniform.
Congress was still stunned today by
the size Of tie appropriation bill wanted
by the war department. The military
affairs committee will report the main
budget. which will be around $4,000
100000 to $4,000, 600, 900, but the appro-
priations committee, which claims ju-
risoiction over the appropriations for
heavy field artillery and ammunition,
will bring in another bill with $1,000
600, 900 to SO, 600, 100000 additional, maxi
ing total budget from the two COM
mittees of $4,000, 600, O06 or more. This
is move than twice the amount appro-
priateo for the military establishment
for the current fiscal year.

President Disapproves
Death Sentences for
Sleeping u. S. Sentries

WASHINGTON, May president
Wilson disapproved today the sentence
of four American soldiers in France,
ordered to be shot.
Sentences of Privates Dion Ledoyen
and Stanley G. Fishback were COM
muted to three years confinement. Pri-
Yates Forrest d. Sebastian and Jess
Cook were granted full pardon.
In granting full pardon to Sebastian
and Cook the president said he did so
in view of their extreme youth and the
fact that their offense was wholly free
from conscious disregard of duty. Both
are ordered back to their companies.
Sebastian and Cook, who were par
doned, were convicted of sleeping at sem
try posts. Ledoyen and Fishback were
sentenced for disobeying orders. They
will serve their three-year terms at
Leavenworth.
President Wilson's action was taken
on the recommendation of Secretary
Baker, who made a personal investiga-
ton of the case.
