SENATE VOTES TODAY .
ON "TREATIES IN OPEN".
Upper House Closely Divided
on Proposal to Bar "Secret
Diplomacy"
Wn-liltiKlnn, June 12
By agreement the tenate will vote at
1 o'clock this afternoon on the propox.il
of Senator Borah, of Idaho, for public
consideration Of trentles, and amendment
to the I'nderwood resolution to limit all
debate during the war
Tho agreement for disposition of the
Borah amendment, which prolds that
treaties shall be considered with open
doors unless two-thirds of the Senate
should determine otherwise, followed
several dajs of spirited discussion of
secret and open diplomacy. Defeat of
the proposal is expected, though the
Senate Is closely divided. A ote on the
Underwood rule itself probably will fol

adoption.
Senator Borah contended that his pro
posal Is In accordance with President
Wilson's statement in his address of
January 8, for "open covenants of peace
openly arrived at "
Challenging the Idaho Senator's con
struction, Senator Hltchook declared It
was "preposterous," and said the Presi

European practice of making secret
treaties without informing the people

The dry forces have taken the stand
that the President's chief objection to

the fact that the bill places the question

MEMORIES OF COLONIAL DAYS
REVIVED IN CHURCH FESTIVAL
Spirit of America, Past and Present, Is Typified in Celebration
by Parishioners of Old St. Joseph's, in
Willing's Alley
THERE vvas a happy reunion of the
sons and daughters of St Joseph's
Catholic Church last night at a straw
berry festival held In this historic edi
fice In Willing's alley, below Fourth
street.
Amid surroundings which represented
the spirit of America the old and young
parishioners enjoyed an interesting pro
gram of song and story.
The decorations in the hall where the
festival of fun was held told a story of
the country's struggle for Independence.
Memories of America's early struggles
were revived In pictures and sketches
which dotted the walls. And the bright
uniforms of bluejackets and soldiers In
the happy throng was a vivid reminder
of the .present struggle for the triumph
of democracy. The festival was the
first held by the church in three years.
The Sunday school room In which It
was held represents a room rich In
church history. Whea , early .Jeaults

Captain Jame3 McCoy, of Fall River,
Mass, whose namo nppeared yesterday
on the casualty list of the United States
Marines as having been killed in France,
Is the first captain of marines to be
killed In action In the present war.
Ho Is widely known In this city, hav
ing been Btatloned for jears at the Phil
adelphia .Vavy Yard, except for brief
Intervals when he raw service In other
ports. He left for France last enr with
the Fifth Regiment of marines, the first
contingent of American troops to go
aluoad.
Several of the marines with whom he
served In the campaigns in Vera Cruz.
Porta Rica nnd Vlcuauga are now sta
tioned In this city and today paid the
highest tributes to tho dead omcer. He
was about forty-live vears old and was
known to his men ns "Old Pop"
Two of the men who fought by Ills
side during the occupation of Vera Cruz
are First Sergeant George Cataldo and
Sergeant George Case, attached to the
local lecrulting station, H03 Arch
street.
"'Old Pop' McCoy was one of the fin
est, bravest and most honest men In the
Marine Corps," declined First Sergeant
Cataldo today upon hearing of the death
of the captain. "During the fight nt
Vera Cruz ho pioved to be one of the
.most fearless of the marine non-com-
missioned olticers and if nnvbody de
served the reward lie later received, 'Old
Pop' surely did.
"He served continuously wRh the
'Devil Dogs' for the past twenty-four
vears and rcpiesented the old school
He was always one of the fliat in the
fight nnd at tho outbreak of the war
was simply cmsy to get Into It When
the news came ti'.at he was to bo among
the (list to go to Franco I don't believe
there was a happier man In the world
than he."
Captain McCoy also saw servlco In
the Philippines nnd China, where he es
tablished a record for bravery.
Captain McCoy arose from the ranks.
At the time he vvas killed he vvas In line
for promotion and in a few weeks would
have been made a major.

noted composer, librettist and music
critic, la dead hero
Bolto wrote one grand opera. "Mefls
tofelc" on the "Fnustus" legend, which
Is n remarkable blending of the Wag
nerian and Italian schools of operatic
tomKsltion. combining the leading mo
tive.') and symphonic continuity of the
former with the melody and passion of
the latter.
"Meflstofele" has been presented In
Philadelphia seven times, the first time
on November 27. 1880, and the last on
November 26. 1907, with tho gigantic
Russian basso, Theodore Challaplne, In

Bolto was born In Padua In 1842. He
easily manifested a liking for literature.
Bolto became the librettist of Verdi,
and their friendship was only termi
nated by the latter's death For Verdi
he wrote the libretto of "Otello," "Fal
Btaff" and other operas. He also wrote
somu poems and a novel, "L'Alfler
Meno."
"Meflstofele" vvas first produced In
1868 at La Scala. Milan, as a feature
of the annual carnival. It caused such
a violent controversy the police refused
to peimlt Its repetition.
In 1S7E, rewritten in a form more
suitable to the operatic stage, "Mefls
tofele" wbb revived at Bologne, and hdB
been given all ov'er the world.

Britain' Sacrifice to VVur
Louis Tracy, of the British Mission to
the United States and of the American
Defense Society, told the convention
that Great Britain and her colonies had
armed 6,000,000 men for the war. He
presented n series of authentic statis
tics from official sources that he said
would convey a necessary lesson.
"In the Somme battle between July
and December, 1916," Mr. Tracy said,
"the Biltlsh casualties vvera: Officers,
.'4,803, and men of all other ranks,
503,278.
"In the Dardanelles, that scene of
utmost heroism and unhappy blunder
ing, Britain lost 5241 officers and 712,
307 men. During the seven months be
tween September, 1917, and March, 1918.
the British casualty lists were 21,966
officers and 449,211 men, while the total
o',cers and men for the month of
April of this year were 46,359.
"These figures, which might rightly
be regarded aa appalling, represent the
actual wastage of the war during the
major and minor operations covered by
the period stated, but do not Include
tho losses sustained during1 the two re
cent German attacks."
Turning to more satisfactory figures,
he gave the totals of prisoners and guns
captured and lost by British troops.
These showed that since the beginning
of the vvar and up to the end oC No
vember, 1917, the British had captured
on all fronts 176,000 prisoners and more
than 900 guns, while for the same period
the Germans had captured 2600 oVtcers
and 53,704 men of all other ranks.
lmluttrleu Mult Develop
Industries must immediately develop
their organization along the line of war
requirements or be put out of business,
Charles A. Otis, chief bf the Bureau of
Resource and Conversion, of the War
Industries Board, told the manufac
turers. Continuing in part, the speaker
said:
"It Is obvious that ns we progress the
Government will be, to a great extent,
the only buyer. It Is facing us now
that many Industries must Immediately
develop their organization. along the line
of war requirements or be put out of
business. To save this very serious situ
atlon Is the work of the resource and
conversion section and Its work Is de
pendent upon the hearty support of
eery business man of the country.
"Helpfulness between districts will be
expected, where an organization is doing
a certain work well and another resource
must be started to keep up the volume,
the successful man will be expected to
give all possible information to the
one starting In to Increase this pro
duction. "A study must be made and a careful
one of the' fuel and power situations, so
that districts loaded with work will not
Increase beyond the limit of the power
and transportation facilities of the coun
try, but other developed for the work.
"There Is not a man In the United

SNAPPED NEW STAR IN 1888
Harvard Scientists Declare They
Photographed It 30 Years Ago
Cambridge, Mio., June 12. Many
observers liavo reported to Harvard
college observatory tho Independent dis
covery of the new star In constellation
Aqullla, announced from Washington on
June 9 as having been seen by Prof.
C. T. Oliver, of the University of Vir
ginia. It was first reported here by
Warren H. Cudworthi of Norwood, Mass
and later by many observers In this
country nnd Europe.
Edward C. Pickering, director of the
Harvard Observatory, said that, owing
to tho difference In longitude, the star,
the brightest observed since Kepler's
star, which appeared In 1604, probably
vvas first seen tn Europe.
The prompt notification by Mr. Cud
worth enabled the Harvard Observatory
to photograph It Saturday night and to

GERMANY PLANNING
FOR NAVAL OFFENSIVE
Report Says Sea Forces Will
Soon Engage Allied
Fleet
Washington, June 12.
An official dispatch from Switzerland
says that Germany Is advertising a
plan to send Its high seas forces against
the combined British nnd Grand Allied
Meet In Its effort to end the vvar this
summer.
"A telegram of an official nature,"
sayB the dispatch, "Is being spread
broadcast In Germany which says the
German Admiralty is considering a great
naval offensive. Orders are supposed to
have been given to keep the whole fleet
In readiness, and a certain number of
naval officers of high rank have been
hurriedly recalled from Switzerland and
other neutral countries, where they
have been spending their leave.
"The Kleler Zeltung sneaks of ex
traordinary activity In the ports and
the Hamburger Post publishes an Inter
view with Von Tlrpitz, who was asked
If Gcrmnny vvas In a position to meas
ure herself with the English fleet. The
admiral naturally replied In the af
firmative, saying that after their land
forces have pushed tho French and
lCngllsh back on the other side of Pnrls
It would be the turn of tho Kaiser's
boats to drive the English off tho high
seas "
If the battle does come American
naval forces will play their part. Amer
ican dreadnoughts, under Rear Admiral
Rodman, Joined the British fleet some
time ago.
In connection with the reported plans
for a German naval offensive, several
military writers are engaged In conslder-
eiable speculation regarding the possi
bility of the development of a long-range
naval gun along the line of the big guns
that have been bombarding Paris.
Patrol Vessel
Battles U-Boat
Continued from Tase One
States dCBtrojcr Interrupted a U-boat In
Its attempt to sink the Radlolelne..
Both the cases cited occurred since
then, but have been kept secret up to
today.
Many naval district reports have come
In since the raiders first apepared, but
the navy has persistently denied that
It had Information concerning the sub
marine situation other than what it an
nounced. This was Illustrated a few days ago,
when the department had news of the
Vlneland sinking all day, denied It, and
only announced the sinking at night,
after the crew had landed.
Some of the patrol boat claims are
manifestly fantastic, and for that rea
son nre suppressed. The two cases men
tioned above, however, are considered
worthy of consideration.
Among the strange occurrences noted
by the patrol repoits was that of a
hydroplano which dropped depth bombs
on a supposed submarine. (Submarines
can be seen a considerable distance be
low the water by a hydroplane.)
Later, however. It developed that the
supposed U-boat target vvas a whale.
Many of the patrollers nre naval re
servists, fresh at their tasks. Their en
thusiasm has carred them away In many
Instances, and hence their reports nre
Inclined to be a bit too picturesque to
square with the hard facts of U-boat
hunting.
The Navy Department, It vvas learned,
has told them to fire at anything that
they ,thlnk even remotely resembles a
submarine. The orders go on the theory
that It Is better to waste a shell on a
floating spar, a porpoise or a whale than
to lose a submarine through economy or
conservation.
Incidentally, department authorities
warn that there Is much false informa
tion afloat, Skippers and sailors, as Is
the wont of those who go down to sea,
are spinning yarns of all kinds, whllo
German propagandists are adding thereto
with stories of fancied disasters.
CHASERS SCOUR SEAS
IN SUBMARINE HUNT
Cape May. N. J., June 12,
Further evidence that German U-boats
are lurking off the South Jersey coast
came to light last night, when the crews
of submarine chasers were hurriedly re
called to duty. The chasers are said to
have put out In search of the raltrers.
These chasers landed here yesterday
afternoon after a ten days' cruise. Mem
bers of crewa said they sighted a Ger
man submarine off the Jersey coaBt.
Considerable excitement vvas caused
shortly before 10 o'clock when a gen
eral call for the officers and crews cf
the chasers was sounded. The recall
was announced at the Y. M. C. A.'
Club, a movlng-plcture theatre, and all
other places where officers and men
congregate when at liberty. In less than
fifty minutes all members of crews had
returned to the two ships.
The greatest caution Is being observed
In the movement of ships along the
coast. None Is permitted to traverse
the ocean at night. Each evening all
those in the vicinity of thq Delaware
capes put Into the Government harbor
near Lewes, departing at sunrise undar
iBcort.
8llburjr, Md., June 13. The Ocean;
City (Md.) coast guard was ordered to

motorboats by the Navy Department,
probably from the Lewes (Del.) wreleBi
station. Firing wbb heard during tluj
afternoon nt Ocean City borne fifteen,
to twenty-five miles at sea, apparently!

plo described the deep impression made'
on him and his countrymen by the quiet
earnestness of the President. i
"Our talk with the President wns the
culmination of our visit," ho added. "He
spoke to us tete-a-tete and In his fine,
scholarly way. Day and night since our
Interview with him we have done noth
ing but talk of President Wilson.
"What effect on the relations between
America nnd Mexico is jour visit Ilkelj
to have?" Senor Carpla was asked.
"The psychology of people Is like thai
