SOON EXCEED LOSSES Admiral Simms Expresses Hopes at a Banquet Given in London. London, May 9.-A dinner to 1.000 American naval and military officers and Y: M. C. A. representatives was given at the National Sporting club last night. Vice Admiral Sims, in re ply to a toast, declared tftat" i hoped that within the next, fortnight the construction of new shipping would exceed the rate of destruction vrerman suDmarlnes. : Arter the dinner, the guests wit nessed a bOXinfiSs exhihltnn hetwpan Jimmy Wilde, the- fftathmr6i- Champion, " and the veteran "Pedlar" Palmer. Sir Frederick E. . Smith, the kttor. ney general, in proposing a toast to rresiaent Wilson and the flehtins forces of the United States .t. th dinner, said: . "We, in this country, realize the im mense contribution America is mak ing to the fighting forces of the allies and we are glad that Americans are Here now to see the spirit of the Brit- isn and the . sacrifices they are Dre- pared to make. Never has that spirit stood higher, and-never has the Brit ish been .more resolute to maintain the struggle, even for, 20 years, in or- der that democracy might win and uennany be shattered, undue and excessive expectations were enter tained regarding the speed with which the American contribution could be got ready. I never had any illusions on this point America was called upon to do in one moment a task a hundred times greater than any nation in the world's history has been called upon to accomplish. Nev er has a nation undertaken such com mitments or flung itself more thor oughly into its task. "The very fact that we have with us in this war the sons and grand sons of men who fought in the great struggle between the north and south, is a source of encouragement and a precious consolation. It is well that Englishmen and Americans should be brought together. They should create a warm friendship as their differr ences are only superficial. "It is worth at least, something that the Anglo-Saxon races, the lega tees of a precious civilization, should make an imperishale friendship. If that is the result, "then even the ship wreck of this terrible war will not have been entirely for nought.' CUBA AIDS RELIEF WORK AMONG ALLIES Havana, Wednesday, May 8.

RiSH CONSCRIPTION Joint Committee Sends a Strong Appeal to the v L Government N London, May 9. A joint commit tee of the Trades Union Congress and the labor party has sent a strong appeal to the government against en forcing conscription in Ireland. H says inpart: "It must be clearly evident to the government that an attempt to en- corce conscription would mean hot only the shedding of blood of thou sands, of Irishmen, Englishmen and Scotchmen, but also the maintenance of a huge permanent army of occupa tion in Ireland. Today every soldier s neeed on the western front, yet the government is proposing a course which will involve the withrawal of hundreds of thousands of soldiers to engage in a civil war which will out rage the conscience of the civilized world. "Moreover, Irishmen are scattered over the wide world in America and in the dominions of Great Britain it- self-besides large numbers on the western front. The tragedy cannot be local or confined to Ireland. It may easily be the beginning of- a world tragedy in which our last hopes of a fairer future will be extinguish ed. .. . "With all these facts and terrible anticipations in mind, we confidently appeal to the government to imme diately take the necessary steps to avert the appalling disaster wnicn now threatens." NVESTIGATE CAUSE OF MORTAR EXPLOSION Lieutenant and Ten Enlisted l Men Killed and Five Wounded. Fort Worth, Texas, May 9. Officers m from division headquarters at Camp 25 Bowie began an investigation this morning of the explosion-of a trench mortar yesterday afternoon,, which killed a lieutenant and 10 enlisted j men. Five others were wounded.' The g number of fatalities was increased to 11 by the death today of Privates H. f L. Davidson, of Fort Worth, and-Al- 1 fred J. Woodle, df Abilene, Texas. It was learned today Private Dewey is Tillman, who was among those fatal- ly .injured, was formerly a resident of Atlanta, where his parents now, live. j Tillman died last night. He enlisted at Laredo, Texas. Whether the shell was over-sized, IS whether the gun was jammed with an- other shell or whether there was S faulty construction somewhere will be developed. The English instructors at j the camp are mytifled by the explo- g sion. About a hundred shells had been Is fired from the gun when the explo- 3 sion occured. NATIONALISTS WOULD WELCOME A CHANGE London, May 9. Irish nationalist newspapers, says a dispatch to The Times from Dublin, are taking the most lively interest in the parliamen tary crisis, the nationalists obviously praying for a transfer of -the govern ment to the hands which would refuse to enforce conscription in Ireland. The, Freemen's. Journal,. it landed describes the letter of Major General Maurice as a ray of hope and' says that unless the ministers can clear themselve they must go, or must di vert the interest of the British public by a new sensation. AGITATING AGAINST VON HINDENBURG London, May 9. Former Jinfluen- Is tial officers in the German army, sup- -s porters of Von Moltke, the former f chief of staff, are agitating against s Field Marshal con Hindenburg on the S ground that the German successes in H the western front have not reached g expectations, according to reports in S ThA Haeiie. transmitted under re- S serve by the correspondent of The Daily Mail. Another report which, according -to is the correspondent, appears to have some foundation, is that a sharp con-is flict of opinion has arisen between 13 Field Marshal von Hindenburg, Gen- 3 era! LudendorfLand the crown- prince 3- on one side, an unanceuor von nerx-1 linjr and Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann on the other.
