Marne the Battle for the Students
of the War College.
Washington, April 30. Important
ml far-reaching plans for American
inrllclpatlon in military operations In
"ranee, wero discussed at n long con
ference between Field Marshal Joffro
ud United States army ofllclals.
A tentative plan, subject to approval
by President Wilson, Is understood to
utve been outlined to Joffro. Under
t an army of approximately 200,000
well-drilled Americans can be sent to
Franco its early as rfext August.
I'bls plan was worked out by the
war college before the arrival of the
'"reach and British missions.
In Its main details, It agrees with
the views of Marshal Joffro. The only
point of difference Is the time when
n American force should bo sent
abrond.
The French Idea Is that Amorlcnn
forces should bo sent at Once. Tbo
number Is not regnrded n material fac
tor under existing circumstances. The
rench theory Is tbnt sending small
units us soon ns possible, would hnvo
nn lmportnnt moral effect upon the al
lies and tbo enemy.
Larger units would follow ns soon
as American armies have been raised
on a European war basis.
Tho friendly exchange of views de
veloped that most of tho war college
are opposed to sending any forces to
Surope except such ns would be of
mmedinte fighting value.
From this view was evolved the out
line of the plan under which It would
bo possible by August, If tbo president
deemed It desirable, to dispatch n
force of 200,000 men.
Prior to tho conference General
Joffro addressed at length the students
of tbe war college, composed entirely
of army olllcers of tbo line, on tbo
problems of the war.
Among other things he sketched
pithily the battle of tbe Mnme, the
high water mark of tho German ad
vance on Paris. No one was admitted
but army olllcers.
NO HOPE FOR 120 MINERS

U. S. SHIP SINKS DIVER
AMERICAN GUN CREW HITS U-

Captain of Mongolia Tells of the
De-
on ui.iiuri ui enemy viiiu
Off England.
London, April 27. Captain Hlco of
the American steamship Mongolia,
which has arrived at u Hrltlsh port,
said that the Mongolia had lircd the
llrst shot of the war for tbe United
States and sunk a German sub
marine. Tho submarine, Captain Hlco said,
was about to attack the great liner In
Hrltlsh waters on April 10. He de
clared there was no doubt that the
U-boat was hit and that there was
every reason to believe It was de
stroyed.
The naval gunners on board made a
clean bit at 1,000 yards. The periscope
was seen to bo shattered.
"There was n haze over the sen at
the time," said Captain Hlce. "We
had Just taken a sounding, for we were
getting near shallow water, and we
were looking at tbo lead when the
llrst mate cried : 'There's a submarine
off tbe port bow.'
"The submarine was close to us, too
close, In fact, for her purposes, and
sho wns submerged again In order to
maneuver Into a better position for tor
pedoing us when we sighted her. We
saw the periscope go down and the
swirl of the water. I quickly ordered
n man nt the wheel to pull It to star
board, nnd we swung the nose of the
ship toward the spot where tbe sub
marine had been seen. Wo were go
ing at full speed ahead, and two min
utes nfter we llrst sighted the U-bont
It emerged nguln about 1,000 yards
olT. Its Intention probnbly bad been
to catch us broadside on, but when It
appeared we had the stem gun trained
full on It.
"The lieutenant gave the command
npd the big gun boomed. We saw tbe
periscope shattered and the shell and
tho subninriuo disappeared.
"I can't speak too highly of the cool
manner In which tbe lleutennnt han
dled his crew or tbo elllclency of
American naval men."
