B3 OUR 804tli BARG-A3LW GERMANS MORE FRIGHTFUL FIFTH TRENCH LINE TAKEN Von Tirpitz Retirement Regarded as Sop to American Public Opin ion OUier Xeutral Vessels Sunk Without Warning, tUNDOX, April 6. The opinion ,is ex pressed in naval circles having access to the reuort on the toroedolne of the British steamship Englishman that the vessel would have been saved if fihe had carried a defense ein, as the sub "marlne was plainly seen, as she pur sued and shelled he steamer for some distance. Since last August, when the British steamer AVaimana was compelled by a rulinpr of the State Department at Washington to dismount a gun before clearing from Newport News, British merchantmen calling at American ports have been -unarmed. The recent ruling of the State Department allowing an Italian armed liner to clear from an American port on the assurance that she was armed only for defensive pur poses, ha3 caused much interest here in official circles and it would not be surprising if the British government, acting on this precedent, should arm merchantmen trading , in American ports. Warfare More "FrlRhtf nl." British naval circles express the be lief that the retirement of Admiral von Tirpitz from the German Ministry of Marine was in the nature or a sop to American public opinion, as, in their view the German submarine policy has become "more instead of less fright ful." The official reports show that seven or eight neutral vessels have been torpedoed without any warning whatsoever since the new German sub marine campaign began. These reports fay that the following neutral ships wprR sunk without warning in March: Norwegian Silius, Langslie and Kantik. Dutch Tubantia and Pallembang. v Swedish Hollandia. Spanish Skodsborg. Some VeHeI Warned. The following vessels were warned and the crews permitted to take to the boats: Spanish Vigo. . Norwegian Norne, Bell, Lindfield and Hans Gude. The Danish steamer Harriet is placed in the doubtful list, as evidence that i (i votcol wa trtrnorlnoH la inpnnnlll- ive. Seven are listed as having been sunk without warning; five after warn ing and one doubtful. The naval authorities point out as a , signincant lact mat aitn.ougn several tracks frequented by American ships, not a single ship flying: the American " flag appears in the list. BRITON WOULD BE GERMAN Houston Stewart Chamberlain, An , tlior, Asks Naturalization. BAYREUTH, Bavaria, via London, April 6.

Last year Emperor William decorated him with the Iron Cross. - Canyon City Re-elects Officials. CANTON CITY, Or!, April 6. (Spe cial.) A very light vote, was cast at the annual city election, held here Monday, owing to the general belief that no election would be held thii year.

Ernest Schiller, the German '"pirate," who single-handed captured the British steamship Matoppo, now admits his name is Clarence Hudson, his father being English, his mother German: he being born in Petrograd. With four' other men he plotted to board an English steamer and capture treasure on board, but having taken too much intoxicating liquor he boarded the Matoppo and held up the captain andcrew when the vessel was well out to sea. He was so disgusted with the meager loot on board that when off the Delaware coast he ordered the captain to put him ashore, where upon landing he was disarmed and arrested. Schiller or Hudson's only fear is that he will be turned over to the British authorities, who, he is convinced, would hang him from a yardarm for piracy on the high seas.

Strong Counter Attack by Turkish Army Is Repulsed and New Ad vance of 6000 Yards in Day i Consolidated by Victors. LONDON. April S. The town of Fe lahie, in Mesopotamia, has been cap tured by the British, it was announced officially today. All the positions gained have been consolidated and counter attacks by the Turks repulsed. The official statement says: "General Lake reports that the Tigris corps, under the command of Lieutenant-General Sir George F. Gorringe, who succeeded General Aylmer, at tacked the enemy's entrenched posi tion at Umm-el-Henna April 5. Our trenches had been pushed forward by means of saps to within 100 yards of the enemy's position, and the leading battalions of the Thirteenth Division then rushed the enemy's first and sec ond lines In quick succession. "The third line was captured by 6 A. M under the support of concerted artillery and machine gun fire. The Thirteenth Division continued their victorious advance and by 7 A. M. had driven the enemy out of his fourth and fifth lines. "Aeroplane reconnaissances then re ported that the enemy was strongly reinforcing his entrenchments at Fela hie and Sannayyat, positions respec tively 6000 and 12,000 yards from the front trenches at Umm-el-Henna. As those . positions could be approached only over open ground. General Gor ringe ordered a further attack deferred until evening. "In the meantime, on the right bank, the tlfird division under General Keary captured the enemy's trenches oppo site the Felahie position. In the after noon, the enemy on this bank made a strong counter attack with infantry and cavalry, supported by guns. This counter attack was successfully re pulsed and the position won was con solidated. "About S P. M., General Gorringe con tinued his forward movement on the left bank and carried the Felahie po sition. "The reports indicate that the Umm-el-Henna position was strongly en trenched, its left flank resting on the Suwachi marsh and its right on the river. The front trenches are said to be nine feet deep and the whole sys tem extended in successive lines for a depth, of 2300 yards." SPOTTED FEVER APPEARS Grant County Prepares for right. Fearing Spread.
