Warns Against Peace

The prospects of using the entire force of the allies were very bright, said Mir. Lloyd George, in discussing the united command Of the entente armies in France. He sounded note uf warning during his address as to Germanys peace proposals. saying that the German autocracy did not in- end to bring the war 10 an end. "un- il it's basket is as full as it can hold
 Reverting to the shipping situation, he premier read a report which he had just received from the admiralty "as gards the meeting of enemy subma- rines-that it was going on satisfac- orily." That. said the premier, is off -ial language. Since the beginning of tho year. he added. the naval staff has been confident that the allied navies were sinking more enemy submarines than the enemy was able to build. We arc building merchant ships-that is. The allies as a whole-faster than they can sink them.
 The premier said that from data at present available the admiralty held the opinion that in the month of April there was record destruction of enemy submarines. When it came to the increase in ship building. the month of April was the record month since the ruthless submarine warfare commenced. For the first time the output exceeded the losses and that, he said, was not a bad record for a government whose faults were so freely advertised

SHIP WAS NEAR COAST

WASHINGTON. May 24-Sinkinq of the British armed merchant cruiser Moldavia, with a probable loss of 5s American soldiers was announced in . cable-ram tonight from the British ad- nlIralty to the war department No details were aiven. but the understand ing here is that the ship was moving between England and France.
 The war department authorized this statement:
 "lnformation has been received from London that the British armed mer- chant cruiser McIdavia has been sunk and that 56 of the American soldiers aboard are missing.
 "The announcement was made by the British admiralty"
 NO FURTHER WORD COMES
 At late hour the department had no further information to indicate what American units were aboard the yes sel. Many men are in training in Enu- land and it is possible that the Molda via was carrying contingent bound for the front.

Arizona republican., 1918-05-25
MEN WERE IN HAMMOCkS

Most of the men aboard were III their hammocks when the explosion. occurred amidship. The sailors ana soldiers alike showed no panic.
 They fell calmly into line and await ed orders. When it was seen that the Moldavia was settling down, all or, board were taken off by the escortine ships.
 The men lost all of their belongings, but were supplied with new cIothinq at the different naval ports where they were taken.
 WATER CUTS THEM OFF
 It is believed that the American sol dlers missing from the MoIdava were sleeping on the bottom deck and were overtaken b" the great thrush of water alter the explosion, when they were trying to reach the main deck It also is presumed that some of the ladders were destroyed.
 The vessel was struck below the bridge. She steamed ahead for s-me tune after being struck and at first it was hoped that her watertiqht com Partments would enable her to reach port.
 ToRPEDOED, NOT MINED
 Survlvors agree that the Moldav,s was torPedoed and not mined. One ! seaman said:
 We were proceeding up the chan nel bound for an English port earl, Thursday morning. The weather va. tune and there was a bright moon light. We felt an explosion amidships he ship had been struck just below the bridge, but we could see no sub ! marine.
 There were some destroyers con voyng us and they at once scattered around in search of the submarine Only one torpedo was fired. ! When it was realized that we should have to abandon the vessel the destroyers came alongside to talk. off the troops"

Is Still a Menace

Mir Lloyd George said the submarine still was a menace. but that it no longer was a peril. As a means of in flictinS injury it still was formidable, but as a danger which can cause the winning or the losing of the war we ran rulc it out The failure of the submarine has been recognized by the Germans and that accounted for the present offensive in the west. The enemy had been driven out into that offensive as last resort to secure victory.
 Nevertheless" said Mr. Lloyd George. we must not undcrrate the formidable character of that attack Hhe collapse of Russia caused yawn- ias gap in the bridge which has not vet been spanned by the coming of Americans and until the span is re- constructed by America Great Britain. France and Italy have 10 defend the gap.'

 The allied commanders, who know hest what the prospects were, he added felt most confident about the result.
 American Efforts So Far
 MT. Lloyd George said that while the United States was rushing it's men into France. the present strength of those armies was not the equivalent of one fifth of the fighting strength which was gained by the Teutonic allies through the collapse of Russia.
 The premier was most optimistic as regards the submarine campaign of Germany. He said that while the menace of the underwater boat had not been entirely removed, the allied na tions now were building ships faster than they could be sunk and that the unrestricted submarine warfare might no longer be regarded as a vital dan -cr h,. fha entente nations

Washington. Feb. 15.-Representa-
tive Gray, of New Jersey is pressing
resolution authorizing a new ma

For all patriotic executing under

with one diagonal bar of blue from
the upper left corned to the lower
right corner and one diagonal bar OF
red from the upper right corner to
the lower left corner, the red bar
passing under the blue.
"And for service under arms, the
same flag as above, with the addi-
ton OF a white star in the centre OF
indicate service under arms"
Several congressman have made
Intellectual efforts to have the pres
ent service flag patent revoked
