as a basis, we should require building

but only 185 of the larger.
"The smaller ships would cost 111,

48,000,000 pounds sterling. The small
er ships would use 1,550,000 tons of

Neither the Secretary nor any na

of the meeting last night further than
to say that progress was being made
and that further experiments would
be carried forward without delay. In
some cases extensive practical tests
already have been made with striking
results.

Counsel for the roads then filed a
formal petition with the commission
for increases of from 5 to 15 cents a
ton in the rates on anthracite coal.
Statistical tables showing revenues,
expenses, property investment and
return of 22 carriers of the South
were filed with the commission. They
were compiled by J. B. Duke, assist
ant comptroller of the Southern, and
showed greatly increased operating
costs of all varieties.
"The number of men employed in

and handling steel and other materials,
would be 635,000 for the smaller ships
and 285,000 for the larger. The coal
consumed would account for 45,000
men for the small ships as against
10,500 for the larger. Thus the larger
ships would release about 380,000 per
sons for other national service. More
over the larger ships would require
60,000 fewer mariners.
"Again the percentage of loss both

A Remarkable Week's Record
In The Destruction of Ger

(By Associated fress.)
Paris, May 9. The War Office is

campaign tonight:
"During the period of May 1-7, our
pilots had numerous combats with
enemy aviators, in the course of
which 25 German machines were
brought down, the destruction of
which wag . absolutely established. In
addition 51 German machines, seri
ously hit, fell within their own lines,
the greater part of them being prob
ably destroyed.
"Our pilots in that period added to
the number of their exploits. Cap
tain Guynemer gained his 37th and
38th .victories. Sub-Lieutenant Nun
gesser brought down three machines,
which brought his total of enemy
machines destroyed up to 24. Sub
Lieutenant Donne brought down his
22nd machine, Captain Heurteux his
21st, Lieutenant Pinsard his 11th and
12th and Adjutant Madon his 10th."

Washington, May 9. Hope is bright

has found the road that may lead to
freedom of the seas from German sub
marines. - A conference of unusual important
was held last night at the home of
Secretary Daniels. It was called in
order thahigh officials of the navy
might go over with members of the
naval consulting board the experi

in prospect. "They believe thv are
on the right road." Mr. Danielssaid.
"They believe they are going toHurn

There will be more experiments. Fur

Those at the conference were Sec

and Capt. Wm. Strother Smith, who

STILL DISAGREE
On Roosevelt Volunteers En

War Army Bill.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, May 9. Conferees of
the House and Senate on the War
army bill today sought to compro
mise their differences over the ques
tion of whether Colonel Roosevelt
shall be permitted, as provided by a
Senate amendment, to raise a volun
teer force for service in France. Pros
pects of an agreement, however, on
this, the main issue, seemed slight.
The only hope held out for a com
promise was said to be based on the
chance that the Senate might recede
from its position on the question. In
that case it was said the House con
ferees might accept the Senate
amendment fixing the age limit of
those subject to selective draft at
21 to 27 in lieu of the House provi
sion fixing it at from 21 to 40.

London, May 9. It is reported in
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Copenhagen that Nikolai Lenine,
the Russian Radical Socialist leader,
has been missing for two days. The
dispatch, which quotes the Svenska
Dagbladet, of Stockholm, as its au

The court was to convene at 10

Attorneys and court officers are re
