Between Angrcs and Souchez, to tho

BRITAIN SEES NATION'S
FOOD SUPPLY IMPERILED
Gorman Submarine Activity Regarded
as Serious Menace.
LONDON. July S.
Tho Earl of Selborne, president of tho
Board of Agriculture, In mdvlng In the
Houee of Lords last night tho second
reading of the bill which empowers tho
Government to prohibit tho slaughter of
yoUnB stock so as to consorvo the meat
supply, expressed the opinion that the
Germans were putting their whole ship
building strength Into tho construction
of submarines: German submarines, ho
said, were taking a steady toll of Brit
ish ships, and an tho war continued it
was probable that more submarines
would be engaged In this task.
It would not be tho German Admiralty,
he continued. If they tailed to deal a
fatal blow at the carrying trado which
supplies Great Britain with food. As It
was, he said, even If thcro was no
diminution of the overseas supply of
meat, thero would probably bo less for
the use of the civil population.

LORD MERSEY SCORES
SINKING OF FALABA
Report Condemns Submarine
Commander for Inhuman
Treatment of Passengers.
LONDON. July 8.
A verdict holding that the British liner
Palaba was sunk without warning In
March and that the failure of the Ger
man submarine which destroyed the
Bteamship to afford the passengers an
opportunity to tako to tho boats was re
sponsible for tho heavy loss of life, was
handed down at Westminster today by
TjotA Mersey, who presided at the Inves
tigation of the case.
I.eon C. Thresher, an American, per
ished when the Falaba was sunk, and
his death formed part of tho basts for
tho protest made by President Wilson
against tho German submarine policy.
"It is not our province to decide
whether the submarine was within Its'
rights In sinking the Falaba," said Lord
Mersey, in his decision, "but she was
bound to afford tho men nnd women
aboard an opportunity of getting into the
boats. The submarine did not do so.
"Tho ship was unarmed and carried no
means of defense or offense. The boats
and life-saving apparatus were In good
order. The captain , officers and crew
were competent and efficient.
"The cargo was an ordinary one. It
Included 13 tons of cartridges and gun
powder for the Government's use In West
Africa. This wac no more than usually
carried in peace time."
A scathing denunciation of tho captain
of the submarine was gtve'n In the fol
lowing words:
"So grossly Insufficient was the oppor
tunity afforded the passengers to escape
that I am driven to the conclusion that
the captfiln of the submarine desired not
merely to sink the chip, but also to sacri
fice the lives of the passengers and crew.
The submarine remained in the vicinity
after tiring tho torpedo, but made no at
tempt to save life.
"The evidence showed there was laugn
Ing and jeering aboard the submarine
while Its victims were struggling in tho
water. I prefer to keep silent on this
matter, hoping that the witness was mis
taken." Lord' Mersey said that since he olosfid
the fermal investigation he b.ad obtained
from the chief olllcor of the Falaba a
denial of the allegations made by Car-
many that signals for assistance had been
tired from the Falaba,

During the last two years South Amer

Thorn Is less opportunity for untrained

But salaries of trained men employed

Desperate ' Attempts to
Drive Anglo - French
Forces Back on Gallipoli
Peninsula Break Down
Under Heavy Fire.
LONDON, July 8.
The Turkish forces completely failed In
a big attack which they began on Jdly
4 against tho Anglo-French forces on the
Dardanelles, according to a statement
Issued by the Drltlih Official Press Bu
reau, Tho announcement added that the
Turks lost heavily. The allied troops on
the Gallipoli Tenlnsula aro said to 'be
within six miles of tho Narrows.
The British official statement follows!
"General Sir Ian Hamilton reports that
tho night of July 3-4 was quiet In the
northern section, but at 4 a. m. tho, enemy
started a heavy bombardment of the
trenches. All tho guns used previously
against ub and some new ones were In
action, but the bombardment died away
nhnnt It n. m. without dolner much dam
age. During the bombardment about 20
ll.Z-lnch shells were dropped from a Turk
ish battleehlna In the strait.
"In tho southern section the Turkish
forces kept up a heavy musketry flro
along tho whole lino during the night and
did not leave tholr trenches. At 4 a. m.
their batteries started the most violent
bombardment that has yet been experi
enced. At least 600 rounds of artillery
ammunition wero expended by them.
"Meanwhile tills shelllmr of our lines
on the peninsula proved tho preliminary
to a general attack on our front, with
special efforts nt certain points. Tho
principal effort was made at tho junc
tion of the Royal Naval division section
with that of tho French.
"Here, at 7:30 a. m., tho Turks drovo
back our advanced troops and n&saulted
a portion of tho lino held by tho Royot
Naval division. Somo 80 Turks gained
a footing In our trench where, neverthe
less, somo men of tho Royal Naval di
vision held on to our supports, nnd the
men who had retired counter-attacked
Immediately and hurled tho Turks out
of tho tronch again,
"Another nttack on tho right of the
20th division section was virtually wiped
out by rlflo nnd machine gun flro. On
our left tho Turks massed In a nullah,
to tho northeast of our newly com
pleted trenches, nnd attempted several
attacks. Nono of theso waa able to cct
home, owing to tho steadiness of our
troops nnd our effective nrtlllery sup
port. Tho bombardment died down to
ward 11 n. m., though It was resumed
at Intervals,
"Not only was tho result a completo
failure, but whllo our losses wero negli
gible and no Impression was made on
our line, the enemy added a largo num
ber to his recent very heavy casualties.
It seems plain from the disjointed nature
of his attack that ho is finding It dif
ficult to drive his Infantry forward to
face our fire."
