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.

- 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. No mass meeting was held or a
ticket nominated, so it was thought
that the officers would stay in office
for another year, hut the City Attorney
decided that an election was necessary.
Blank ballots were printed and names
written in. The officials were all reelected.
Sentence of Japanese Commuted.
JUNEAU. Alaska, April 6. President
Wilson has commuted the death sen
tence of O. Itow, a Japanese, convicted

ERNEST SCHILLER.
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.

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

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."
