DEMAND WAR EFFICIENCY
f k pONGREHS is quibbling, unc ilouso committee on Military Altairs uppcars
F KJ to stand ten to nine against selective conscription. There is grave danger
that the most disastrous ot Ureat Britain's blunders at the beginnn ot
the war will be repeated in this country. A condition, not a theory, con
fronts us.
Experts and experience agree that wo can wage a 100 per cent efficient
war only by 100 per cent efficient methods. In this crisis tho President
must be supported. The war will be won or lost in the halls of Congress.
We cannot afford to experiment for ninety days with a volunteer system.
It is important that the full pressure of public opinion should be brought
to bear on Congress immediately to assure the passage of a selective con
scription law of the sort the President wants.
A demand from Philadelphia in favor of such a law may turn the
scales in its favor within tho next forty-eight hours. With your help tho
Evening Ledgek will present conclusive evidence to the House of Repre
sentatives that Philadelphia favors 100 per cent efficiency in the conduct of
the war. . .
Wc want to telegraph the chairman of the House Committee on Military
Affairs that within a few hours thousands of Philadelphians voiced a demand
for a selective conscription law. Write the single word "YES" on a postal
card and mail it to the Evening Ledger, signing your name, or stop by
Ledger Central and sign the statement saying that you arc in favor of such
a law.

Attack Off Atlantic Coast Immediately
Radiographed to Scout Cruiser Chester,
Flagship of First Naval District.
First Shot of War
Torpedo Crosses Bow of Destroyer But
Fails to Score a Hit by Distance of
Thirty Yards Wake Plainly
Seen
ISOSTON, April 17.
Germany has brought the war to the very doors of the United
States.
The (irst shot at an American war vessel in the conflict between
the United States and Germany was (ired, early today when a German
submarine attacked the American torpedeboat destrojer Smith ofT
the Atlantic coast.
The torpedoboat destroyer today reported being fired upon by a
German submarine in American waters. The torpedo missed the
United States ship by about thirty yards. Immediately alter liring
the U-boat submerged and was not seen again. The point where the
U-boat appeared is in the main transatlantic steamship lanes.
The report was received at the Charleston n Navy Yard via Fire
Island at 1:12 this morning. The attack took place shortly after
midnight. -
The Smith reported immediately to the scout cruiser Chester,
the flagship of the first naval district, stationed at IJoston. The naval
attack was where steamships going or coming from New York would
pass.
The Smith is one of a fleet of destroyers that have been patrol
ling the sea oft the United States coast. As soon as she was attacked
a radiogram was flashed to the cruiser Chester.
Official word made it emphatic that the torpedo, fned across tho
bow, was sighted by the men on the Smith as it plowed toward
the Smith and missed by 30 yards.
ENEMY U-BOAT QUICKLY DIVES
The enemy U-boat is then reported to have speedily disap
peared. It is thought that she owes her escape to the dar mess, her
almost submerged lines ofFering a faint and elusive target for the
cruiser. . - . - ,.f.- .,..
The radiogram received at Charlestown follows:
