First American Shot in the Great
War Destroys a German
U-Boat.
FIRED BY LINER MONGOLIA
Destruction of Shipping by Subma-
1 rlnei Now Threatens England
With Food Shortage Great
Britain Gets Money From
Uncle Sam.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
America's first shot In the war with
.Germany was fired on April 10. It
scored n direct hit and destroyed n
German submarine. The shot was
flred by tho gun crew on the American
Uner Mongolia when n U-boat attempt
ed to attack that vessel In the Irish sen.
The first shell smashed the periscope
and after other shells were sent there
was an explosion and the submarine
did not rise again. Capt. Emery Itlce
of the Mongolia told of the incident
on arrival in an English port. It is
Interesting to note that the gun that
got the U-boat had been named Theo
dore Itoosevelt by the gunners.
Tho destructive work of the sub
marines Is cnuslng Increasing anxiety
In Great Britain. The latest weekly
report of the admiralty shows a much
larger number of ships sunk than did
any previous report, and on Wednes
day Lord Davenport, the British food
controller, solemnly warned the Brit
ish public that severe privations
menaced tho nutlou before the next
harvest was reached. This aroused
tho Loudon press to gloomy comment,
the burden of which wns that the sub
marine blockade wus the most serious
feature of the war now and that If
Great Britain wns to be saved from
starvation nnd possible defent some
thing must be done mighty soon to
counteract it. This something, ob
viously, Is the turning out from the
shipyards of a vast and continuous
stream of tonnage, but though many
ships nro being built, the Bhortnge of
skilled labor renders it impossible to
construct nnywhero near the number
required. Tho great British navy Is
powerless to relievo the situation. No
one over there seems able to suggest
any solution of the problem except to
be careful of the food supply and pre
paro for tho worst.
Tho food question Is Bcrlous else
where. It was responsible In large
part for tho strikes In Germany and
Is tho chief causo of demonstrations
that nro alarming the Swedish gov
ernment. In Franco mentless dinners
except Sundays and holidays began
"Wednesday, nnd already In the United
States tho hotels and clubs are cut
ting down their menus.
Plans for Inrger crops and more
farm labor In Amerlcn were curried
nearer to completion during tho pnst
week. One notable Incident wns tho
depnrturo of BOO students of tho agri
cultural college of tho University tff
Illinois to help raise Canada's wheat
crop. They aro to bo well paid and
tho Dominion government will give to
ench of them a homestead of 100 acres.
On n moment's thought such n movc
mont as this must win npproval, for a
bumper crop In Canada will do tho
civilized world ns much good as one
In tho United Stntcs, nnd tho Do
minion hns been depleted of labor.
Great Britain Gets First Loan.
Speedy work Is being dono In the
way of supplying tho Immcdlnto needs
of tho nlllcB of "tho United StntOB. In
the first conferences with the commis
sioners from Englnnd nnd Franco the
government wns told that tho most
urgent of theso needs were money,
ships nnd food. It was agreed that
tho first allotment of tho $11,000,000,000
loan would go to Great Britain, und on
Wednesday Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo handed to tho British nmbns
eador a treasury warrant for $200,000,
000. Arrangements for disposing of
tho Immense bond iBSue are practical
ly completed and France and Italy and
Russia will get their share soon. Most
of the money, It Is understood, will be
expended In the United States.
The commissioners agreed that,
next to suppllng money, America
could give the best help by continuing
to furnish food and by finding the ves
sels for Its transport to Europe, and
they were pleased with tho plans for
building a great lleet of wooden ships.
General Joffre, however, expressed the
hopo that In the near future a large
contingent of American troops would
bo on the lighting line under the Stars
and Stripes, holding that the moral
effect of that would be tremendous.
All of the commissioners concurred
In the stntcment thnt they were hero
not to attempt to dlctntc to our gov
ernment, but to advise nnd assist It
to the best of their ability and with
their wealth of experience.
President Wilson, In a conference
with Mr. Bnlfour, voluntnrlly gave as
surances that the United States will
fight until It achieves victory, and
thereupon the head of the British mis
sion declared that tho entente nllles
would seek no trenty of alliance, no
slgnnture of the entente pledge not to
make n separate peace with Germany.
Germans Resist Desperately.
"This Is the lust nnd deciding push,
for wo soon shall be able to hold out
no longer" reads tho diary of n Ger
man officer who wns captured last
Monday, nnd thnt seems to be the
opinion of the German commander in
chief, Judging by the desperate opposi
tion he Is putting up ngalnst the drive
of the nllles In northern France. Re
suming their part of tho offensive nt
the beginning of the week, tho British
have made considerable progress, es
pecially nlong tho roads from Arrus
nnd Bupaumc to Cambrnl. In the semi-
open fighting their heavy howitzers
were of little use, but their field guns
and machine guns were handled with
wonderful skill nnd rapidity nnd tho
Germnns suffered enormously. Von
Hlndenburg threw his reserves Into
tho battle with a prodigality that as
tonished his adversaries, nnd the Teu
tons gave ground slowly nnd mndo re
peated and tierce counter-nttacks,
which, however, were of little avail
and left the ground covered with their
Blnln. The German line, thnnks to
the astounding numbers of men Von
Hlndenburg hns been nblo to bring up,
Is still unbroken, but it Is badly bat
tered and Is being pushed back fur
ther and further toward the frontier.
Tho superiority of the British in the
air was demonstrated on Mondny in
tho most spectacular manner. Tho
men of tho Royal Flying corps met the
nlr squadrons of tho Germnns nt nn
nltltude of 15,000 feet und put them
to rout, destroying 40 of their nlr
planes, with tho loss of but two of
their own machines. Tho young Brit
ish pilots then carried out a series of
dnrlng bombing raids.
The French devoted much of the
week to destructive artillery tiro in
preparation for their next part In the
"see-saw" that Is being carried on with
such skillful co-operntlon by Hnlg and
Nlvelle, and by Thursdny their infan
try wns again In action.
On the Italian, Macedonian nnd Rou
manian fronts little of moment has
taken place. In Mesopotamia tho
British aro still advancing, but the ex
pedition from Egypt that is moving up
through Palestine hns found the re
enforced Turkish forces holding a
strongly intrenched position extending
from Gaza toward Beershcbn. Portu
gal, having decided to take n more
active pnrt In tho conflict In Europe,
hns sent n large contingent of troops
to northern France.
There hns been some stirring activ
ity recently ,ln tho neighborhood of
tho Strnlts of' Dover. Two British de
stroyers encountered n flotilla of six
German destroyers nnd after n furious
combat put tho foe to rout. Tho Ger
man boats were rammed nnd torpe
doed nnd raked by gunfire nnd at least
two of them were sunk. Tho British
vessels suffered severely but were nble
to return to port.
Wednesday morning n German de
stroyer flotilla bombarded Dunkirk
but was driven off by tho const bat
teries and the nllled pntrol bonts. Ono
French torpedo boat wns Bunk.
Russian Situation Dangerous.
Tho courso of events In Russia Is
being watched with renewed anxiety.
BED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF
The German and Austrian Socialist
peace piopagandlsts have taken from
one of President Wilson's addresses
the phrase of "n peace without vic
tory" and nre using It with some ef
fect. The duiim and the delegates rep
resenting the various classes In tho
councils nro as firm as ever against
concluding n separate peace, hut they
do not (hid the masses of uniformed
people easy to control. Germany Is
reported to hnvc started the expected
movement to cut off Pctrogrud from
the army, n large naval and military
expedition having left Llbuu, presum
ably for Pernnu or Kcvul, and nt such
nn inopportune, time a great many
Russian soldiers nro deserting. These
deserters nro peasant fiddlers who aro
hastening to their homcsTn fenr that
there will be a distribution of lands
of which, In their absence, they will
not get their share. The old agrarian
trouble Is coming to n bend and desplto
the assurances of the authorities thnt
It cannot be settled until the consti
tuent assembly acts, the peasants arc
In many localities taking the mutter
Into their own hands.
As for the threatened German of
fensive, the leaders of the now Rus
slnn government assert that It will bo
a good thing for Russia even If tho
enemy should occupy Petrogrnd, for
It will unite the nation In determina
tion to fight the war to the, finish and
nullify the efforts of the Teuton So
cialists. The Russian Baltic fleet nnd
nrmy sent n wireless messngo to the
allied fleets saying they were In com
plete readiness to defend free Russln.
President Wilson hns selected tho
members of n commission that will
visit Russiu to pay this nation's re
spects to the new government, nnd
Ellhu Root has consented to he Its
chairman. The other members will bo
Edward T. Hurley, Daniel Wlllard and
Oscar S. Straus.
Spain Warns the Kaiser.
On Tuesday Spain sent to Germany
n note concerning submarine warfare,
with the warning thnt Spunlsh pn-
tlencc wns nearly exhausted. Tho
Imperial government consented to n
parley for the "mitigation of the diffi
culties which have arisen In Spain."
King Alfonso has tried diligently to
preserve neutrality, but It seems as If
Ids efforts were doomed to failure.
Turkey having severed diplomatic
relations with the United States, the
representatives of tho two nations
started for home.
Reports that came from Europe dur
ing the week told of n revival of tho
attempts to oust Bcthmnnn-IIollweg
from power because of his support of
the plans of the Socialist Scheldemann
for n penco without annexation and
Indemnities. The pan-Germuns, con
servatives nnd liberals nil nro oppos
ing tho chancellor In this. But Ger
many's foes should not count too much
on such demonstrations, any more
than on tho strikes there, for there Is
no reason to believe any of them por
tend the overthrow of Prussian autoc
racy the ono thing, probably, that
can bring tho war to an early con
clusion. M7or Thompson of Chicago suc
ceeded on Thursdny In attracting somo
nttcntlon to himself. Ho Issued n
printed stntcment on the food short
age In which he attacked conscription,
urgued for a bun on food exports and
assailed tho war policies of the admin
istration. The same day he evinced
n disinclination to extend to Marshal
Joffro nnd tho French mission nn In
vitation to visit Chicago, saying ho
thought some of tho people "might not
be wildly enthusiastic uliout It." Mayor
Thompson Is overly careful nbout tho
stability of his Teutonic political
fences, for Chicago Is decidedly en
thusiastic over tho proposed visit by
tho French commissioners and will
gtvo them n splendid welcome. Plana
for tho event nre being made, the
mayor being Ignored.
Tho Wisconsin senate gnvo a lesson
to disloyal citizens by expelling from
membership Senator Frank Rnguso of
Mllwnukce, n Soclnllst, for refusal to
retract alleged disloyal statements
made by him on tho floor of tho senate.
At tho hour of writing It nppenra
certain that tho government selectlvo
conscription bill will bo passed by
both houses of congress. Agreements
were secured In both senate nnd houso
that assured a voto not later than
midnight Saturday.
