,So far as can be learned, even the ten
tative; draft of a reply has not been
framed, and the only official word given
out Is that the attitude and general na
ture of Germany's reply has not yet been
determined.
That the German Government Is pre
paring to handle the Incident with ex
treme care and nice judgment Is evi
denced by tjie attitude of the press.
While the unofflclaUverslon of what the
Bryan note would probably contain was
' commented on at length, the press has
been singularly silent since the receipt
by the Foreign Office of the actual- text
of tho document. " ''"
PRESS COMMENT CURBED.
The official text has not yet been made
public and the Government suggestion
'that comment be withheld until the text
Is published Is being generally observed.
The nearest approach to a violation of
the Foreign Office admonition was a
mild editorial In today's Lokal Anzelgr
which concluded with the statement that
"Germany's answer, lllte that of Presi
dent Wilson, will be as clear and polite
as It Is possible to make It, pointing out
that we must conduct the war as -we
have conducted It, and with a good con
science we can conduct It."

ALLIES AIM ATTACKS
ON POSTS AT NARROWS
OF THE DARDANELLES
Steady Advances Made by
Fleet and Land Forces
Despite Furious Resist
ance of Ottoman Army
and Forts.
LONDON, May 18.
Still fighting desperately, the Allied
forces on the Gallipoll peninsula are con
centrating their efforts on the capture of
two heights that overlook tho approaches
to the narrows of the Dardanelles, says
an Athens dispatch to tho Morning Post.
Tho Turks ore offering desperate resist
ance nnd the losses on both sides are
very heavy, but the steady advance ot
the Allies and the terrible fire from tho
ships are said to be weakening the spirit
of the Ottoman troops and their confi
dence In their German preceptors.
Dispatches received here saying that
tho allied expeditionary force has taken
Krlthla, the Hrst town on tho main roau
from Sedd-ul-Oahr to Maldos, on tho
Gntllpoli peninsula, and about four mites
up the peninsula from Sedd-ul-I3ahr, are
received as an indication of the substan
tial progress In the necessarily slow oper
ation of clearing the Dardanelles.
The peak near Krltha, sometimes
known by the same name, 700 feet high,
Is the greatest elevation on the entire
peninsula below the Narrow h, and It Is
hoped that the announcement that the
town has been taken means that this
peak has been wrested from the hands
of the Turks. Its capture would enable
tho Allies to command the peninsula well
up touard tlw Narrows.
An Athens dispatch says: "According to
authentic news from Constantinople,
numerous arrests are being effected
among Influential members of the Old
Turks for complicity In a recently dis
covered Armenian plot. The Turkish
press declares this plot was hatched
abroad by General Cherif Pacha, Ismnel

It's rather unfortunate when a man

to "Then You'll Remember Me," and

was time to enforce the law which pro-

noises.
This morning McParkln was singing

BRITISH CABINET CRISIS
CENTRES ON CHURCHILL
Asquith Calls Ministers in One
After Another for Private
Conference.
LONDON. May IS.
The cabinet crisis became acute late
this afternoon. Tho vacation nnd Inspec
tion plans of several Ministers were sud
denly canceled after they had been called
Into conference by Premier Asqulth.
Though rumors have been current for
some, time that gradual changes would be
made, it Is now reported that the
storm centering nbout Winston Spencer
Churchill, first lord of the ndmiralty, will
result In radical and Immediate changes.
Reports havo been current that tho
squabble, may lead to the entrance of
Unionists into tho Cabinet, thus bringing
about a coalition ministry, and that Mr.
Churchill may be given another post.
Mr. Churchill was tho first member
called by Premier Asqulth. He was fol
lowed In rapid succession by Attorney
General Sir John Simon, Lord High Chan
cellor Viscount Haldane, Home Secretary
McKenna nnd Chancellor ot the Ex
chequer Lloyd-George.
Lloyd-Georgo had planned to leave this
evening for an Inspection tour of tho man
ufacturing sections, but the trip was
called off.
The Pall Mall Gazette paid Baron
Fisher high tribute, calling him the cre
ator of the modern navy.
"Mr. Churchill, by his boldness,, saved
an ugly situation at the outbreak of the
war, and we admire the qualities of both
men," Bays the Pall Mall Gazette, "but
any man, who for anything but the grav
est reasons, breaks the national unity
will not ue lightly forgiven."
The Cabinet meeting scheduled for to
day was not held.

every time Thomas, who Is an easy-going
negro, sofa something soft and downy he
Is seized with an Inspiration to sleep on
it. Naturally when he saw a sofa that
wasn't working, resting peacefully In
front of a second-hand furniture shop at
Id and Berks streets, he Just flopped down
on it. He shoved a lot of nearby pillows
under his head until it rested at an angle
of CO degrees. Then he took one last look
at the busy world and floated Into dream
land, A rather peculiar noise like a man saw
ing wood In the cellar aroused the
curiosity of the furniture dealer, who was
reading a newspaper Inside the store. He
staggered somewhat with amazement
when he went outside and saw the cause
of the noise.
At this psychological moment Jacoby
the cop also arrived. He yanked Thomas
Jefferson Lincoln Daklna by the neck and
stood him on his feet. It was with con
siderable effort that the negro opened bis
eyes.
"Wot'a all de commoshlnT" he asked
lazily.
But the dealer was too wrathful for
words, and, while he was about to ex
press himself, the policeman took Thomas
to the 4th and York street station fr
aafety.
"I didn't know dere wuz any lore agin'

"If you had some good hard work,"
said the Judge, "you would be able, to

"Guess I would," agreed Thomas.

Tho most spectacularjdeath-dealing de
vice used In the European war camo from
Philadelphia.
Sweeping down from a hovering aero
plane and sinking Its clawlike hooks Into
tho envelope of an Invading Zeppelin, it
explodes a bomb which shakes tho hug?
airship like a leaf In the wind nnd sends
it shuddering to earth a crumpled wreck.
It Is the most spectacular weapon which
tho Al!li"s have brought Into play, and is
regarded by British authorities as the
most cffoctlve means of attacking the
euperdrcadnoughts of the clouds. It was
invented by Joseph A. Steinmetz, of 736
Westvlow avenue, Germautown, of Jnn
ney, Steinmetz & Co., tth and Market
streets.
It wns probably this "made-ln-Fhlladel-phla"
Zeppelin destroyer which put one of
tho German craft to rout In a battle two
mllcE above the North Sea, as tho world
read In yesterday's news. Lord Kitchener
has adopted the device for use by British
aeroplanes, and it Is regarded in London
as the surest means of lighting possible
air raids on that city.
The trailing bomb which Mr. Steinmetz
devised Is being used by the British gov
ernment under an arrangement by which
It will be paid for at the close of the
war. Great Britain needed the weapon
In a hurry There was no time to haggle
over terms. The Steinmetz device was
protected by patent, so he shipped It to
the English capital, where his Interests
are protected by his solicitors.
Eaoh bomb is attached to a mile of
steel wire, wound on a spool attached
to the aeroplane, which has the same
relation to a Zeppelin that a torpedo boat
destroyer has to a torpedo boat. "When
the aeroplane files above the airship the
steel wire can be let out by the operator,
A measuring device tells him how far the
bomb has fallen and Its descent can be
checked by pressure of a finger. When
It has reached a proper distance the aero
plane files, like a fisher who Is trawling,
so that the hooka of the bomb will catch
the covering of the Dig ship. It rlpa

with a sure grip, and Instantly the bomb

The Steinmetz apparatus 1 described
by scientists as one of the simplest yet
one of the most terrible Instruments ot

TRANSYLVANIA BARELY
ESCAPED SUBMARINE
White Wave of Torpedo Seen
40 Yards Astern by Liner's
Passengers.
LONDON, Mny 18. The liner Transyl
vania, carrying 870 passengers, narrowly
escaped the samo fato as tho Liisltanln,
according to passengers who arrived
here today from Glasgow. A German
submarino shot a torpedo nt the Tran
sylvania Sunday afternoon, they asserted,
but the death missile passed 40 yards
astern.
"I was standing, with two others, on
the Transylvania's forward deck about
4 o'clock Sunday afternoon," said Walter
R. Burston, of Kent, who was returning
to Encland from Jerome, Ariz. "One of
the other passengers suddenly spied tho
periscope ot a submarine and called our
attention to it.
"An Instant later there was a flash
through tho water and we saw the white
wake of a torpedo. It passed, as near
as I can estimate, about 40 yards astern.
"We did not want to alarm the other
passengers, but sent word to Captain
Black on the bridge. Tho Transylvania
Immediately adopted a zigzug course.
She continued rushing about In this
manner for several hours, careening from
side to side in an alarming manner."
Burston'a statement wqh corroborated
by Kenneth Douglas, an actor, who also
arrived here from Glasgow aboard the 6
o'clock train.
Burston said that the Transylvania,
which sailed from New York on tho same
day the Lusltanla was sunk, was In
mldocean before her passengers learned
that any lives had been lost aboard the
big liner,
"An hour before the Transylvania sail
ed New York newspapers carried the
rumor that tho Lusltanla had been tor
pedoed," said Burston, "but they also
had a report that she had been beached
without loss of life.
"The Transylvania received orders (a
put Into Glasgow and discharge her pas
senger Instead of proceeding to Liver
pool with them. Until they arrived at the
Glasgow railway station yesterday after
noon most of the Transylvania's passen
gers believed that the majority of the
Lusltanla's passengers had been saved.'
