SHELL EXPLODES;
EIGHT AMERICAN
GUNNERS KILLED
Crew Is Wiped Out While at
Practice Near Fort
Worth
Fort Worth, Tex.. May 9.—Eight
American gunners were killed and
wven injured more or less seriously
near Benbrook, a few miles west of
Fort Worth, when a three-inch shell
sxploded at 3 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. One gun crew made up of
members of the headquarters com
pany of the One Hundred and Forty-
Brat Infantry was entirely wiped out
and a second crew from headquar
ters company of the One Hundred
and Forty-second Infantry suffered
heavy casualties.
Six of the men were killed in
stantly and two died within a short
tlnse. The bodies of some of the
rlctims were literally blown to
pieces.
An attempt on the part of a gun
ner to force a shell, which appar
enUy did not fit, down a trench mor
tar is believed to have been respon
sible for the accident. Sergeant Nor
man Bow. a Canadian, who is an as
sistant instructor, said to-night he
saw a soldier attempting to force the
shell and that he attempted to warn
the gunner. The explosion came
too quickly, however. Bow was
slightly wounded by a fragment of
the shell.
The list of dead follows:
First Lieutenant Alan J. McDavid,
headquarters company, 142 d In
fantry, Overton, Tex.
Sergeant Louts A. Halphen, head
quarters company, 141 st Infantry,
Abilene, Tex.
Corporal Wharton Jones, head
quarters company, 141 st Infantry,
San Marcos, Tex.
Corporal William P. Appleng,
141 st Infanjry, Elena. Tex.
Private Morgan C. Sanders, head
quarters company, 142 d Infantry,
Abilene, Tex.
Private Euclid Simmons. Company
K, 142 d Infantry. Henrietta, Tex.
Private Webber, headquar
ters company, 141 st Infantry, Mem
phis, Texas.
Private Lacy R. Langley, head- !
quarters company, 141 st Infantry,
Waelder, Tex.
The wounded, except Sergeant !
Norman Bow, of the British army, :
were all from Texas.
General E. St. John Greble, com- ;
manding officer at Camp Bowie, was |
standing less than ten yards from ;
the scene of the explosion with his !
two aids. Captain Houghton and 1
Lieutenant Russell. They were un- j
Injured. Lieutenant Colonel Met
calfe, division surgeon, and an en
listed man also stood nearby. The
enlisted man was instantly killed,
but Metcalfe was unhurt.
The 141 st and 142 d Infantry Regi
ments were at the trench system
near Benbrook and their firing prac
tice was being watched from a dis
tance by a large crowd of civilians.
New mortars were being used for
the first time and the sound of heavy
firing at the camp had been plainly
heard in Fort Worth since early
j morning.
The two gun crews, made up of I
men from the headquarters com- \
panies of the two regiments, were !
operating the new -mortars, which
were located on a hill overlooking
the trench system.
2,500 Miners of Bituminous
Coal Have Quit Work;
Broad Top Region Idle
By Associated Press
Huntingdon. Pa.. May 9. De
manding that tho operators continue |
to pay them at the rate in force I
through the past winter 2,500 bitu- i
minous coal miners in the Broad Top
region quit work yesterday, tying;
up practically every mine in the rt - :
gion.
The miners, the operators and the j
Federal fuel administration, it was j
stated, entered into an agreements
December 4 last providing for cer-i
tain rates of pay which were to be I
effective until April 1, then be re
duced. On April 1 the reduced scale
went into effect and the miners ac
cepted one pay according to
scale. The winter rate was sl.ll per
ton while the new rate was sl.Ol i
with a difference of per cent, in yard-j
age pay. The output of the Broad I
Top region is about 8,500 tons a day. i
British U-Boats Hit
German War Vessels;
Crews Suffered Greatly
By Associated Press
AVasl ting ton, May 9.—More than I
forty German warships have been
attacked successfully by British sub-;
marines. This was disclosed by an,
official British statement received;
here and made public by the commit
tee on public information. Most of'
the battles narrated were with Ger-j
man destroyers presumably on raid-1
inj: expeditions.
The review also deals with the
hazard of operations in the Northl
Sea during the winter months and!
teiis of the hardships and suffering
of the crews from extreme cold.
Frequently periscopes and wireless
sets were covered with ice so that
they could not be used.
Raising Draft Age to 40
Discussed as Possibility
Washington, May 9.—Legislation
raising the draft age to 40 years was
discussed as a possibility within a
few months at n meeting yesterday
of Provost Marshal-General Crowder
and the House Military Committee.
Although General Crowder made no
specific recommendations, members
of the committee said afterward the
War Department was considering a
plan for changes. ,
An appropriation of $15,762,000 was
asked by General Crowder for ex
penses of the draft for the next fiscal
year. Registration of men reaching
the age of 21 will require the exami
nation, he said, of 500,000 more men
than originally provided for. Class
1, the General said, now has a total
of about 2,265,000 men, of whom 2,-
000,000 are effectives.
Chairman Dent, of the committee,
announced he would ask the House
to eliminate from pending draft leg
islation an amendment giving states
credit for volunteers. In a letter to
Ur. Dent, President Wilson came out
In opposition td the credit plan and
asked that the measure be passed as
approved by the War Department.

HIGHEST COURT
IS TO PASS ON
J. V. THOMPSON
Judge Orr Sustains Motion to
Quash Indictment by
Erie Grand Jury
Plttahargk, May 9.—Whether J. V.
Thompson, former president of the
First National Bank of Unlontown,
Pa., and millionaire coal operator,
will ever be tried on the forty-seven
criminal charges contained in two
indictments handed down against him
in connection with the failure of the
bank, one indictment in Pittsburgh
and another in Erie, will be decided
by the United States Supreme Court.
Thompson's trial in federal court
here yesterday suddenly was halted
when Judge Charles P. Orr sustained
a motion made at the opening of the
trial Tuesday by counsel for Thomp
son to quash the indictment, contain
ing thirty counts, returned by the
Federal Grand Jury at Erie.
Special Attorney S. R. Rush, of the
United States Attorney General's of
fice. asked that trial on the remain
ing indictment be continued pending
appeal to the Supreme Court, as the
Government did not wish to try
Thompson on separate charges. The
request was granted.
Judge Orr in sustaining the mo
tion to quash the indictment based
his action on the ground that the
Grand Jury at Erie had acted with
out the knowledge or approval of
the court after a former Grand Jury
sitting in Pittsburgh had failed to
bring in a true bill on identical
charges.

WASHINGTON IS
WATCHING CRISIS
IN ENGLAND
Storm Weathered by Lloyd
George Government Holds
Interest of U. S.
Washington, May 9.—Washington
is tremendously interested in the
British cabinet crisis, since it is gen
erally believed here that a change
in government in England that
would bring forward the more lib
eral element which followed Mr. As
quith and the labor element, whose
most statesmanlike leader is Arthiir
Henderson, would be welcome to the
American administration.
By this statement is not meant
the President is consciously and in
tentionally Influencing British poli
tics. On the contrary, such influence
as he exerts there is the influence
of his ideas and personality, and
there is no denying that the radical
elements in all allied countries gath
er strength from the chief exponent
of the democratic idea among the
adversaries of Germany.
The government of Lloyd George
has hardly given more than lip
service to the more idealistic views
of the President. A more liberal
government in Ehgland would do
much to promote the political unity
which is now so unfortunately lack
ing among the allies. For these rea
sons Washington watches the pres
ent crisis in London more intently
than it ever watched any of the
previous storms which the govern
ment of Lloyd George has weath
ered.
A Genuine Crisis
This is a real crisis. The same
charge that wrecked the original
Liberal government and subsequent
ly the Asquith coalition government
now is made against the Lloyd
George government, namely that it
has failed in the efficient prosecu-
Uon of the war. If General Maurice's
charges are proved true, the fall of
Lloyd George is certain. The
charges, indeed, may never have to
come to trial, for it appears the
Premier will accept the passage of
the motion of Mr. Asquith for an
inquiry by the House of Commons
as a vote of censure and resign.
General Maurice's charges are that
the Lloyd George government al
lowed British man-power to decline
and at the same time took over an
additional extent of the west front,
and then deceived the country about
both these facts in statements to
Parliament. It is, of course, a
charge of the utmost gravity, made
by a soldier who has had full oppor
tunity to know the truth.
On this question of reduced Brit
ish man-power, reports have already
reached this country. One story,
fairly well authenticated, is that
Marshal llaig had 200,000 tower men
under lUs command at the front this
year tluui he had last year. In the
face of this he had about forty miles
more to defend. The explanation
given for this is that both the
French and British miscalculated
the extent of this country's partici
pation in the war this year. Both
countries were misled by the opti
misUo stories put forth in Washing
ton about the number of tons of
ships we should be able to build,
and about U>e number of airplanes
we should be able to send across the
ocean. Perhaps we were promis
ing the impossible, but American
business energy has a big reputation
abroad. With the wish to believe
that America would save them the
allies had no difficulty in believing
the impossible.
Lloyd George Relaxed, Charge
Accordingly the energy of the
Lloyd George government relaxed,
especially in the perplexing matter
of man-power, increase of which in
volved settlement of the difficult la
bor question and the even more
difficult Irish question.
In an almost petulant reference
to the failure of this country to meet
expectations. Lloyd George recently
appeared to betray a sense of its
consequences. His statement in his
recent speech that there was no use
of denying that this country's con
tribution to the war, thus far, was
disappointing, has never been ex
plained. It is a singularly frank,
even though just, criticism of an
ally, which would hardly have been
made unless It was impelled by some
such situation as that which General
Maurice charges in his letter,
In view of the crisis that impends
the recent resignations of North
cliffc and of Rothermere, North
cllffe's brother, became understand
able. Both men had recently en
tered the ministry. The support of
the press, was about all the strength
Lloyd George had, except that re
luctance of a democracy to make
critical changes, which we express
In Lincoln's words about swapping
horses crossing a stream.
Northcliffe is a strong "war prose
cuUon" man. If he became aware
that Lloyd George had permitted
the man-power of England to fall
off, no matter what the excuse was,
he would naturally withdraw from
the government. And under the cir
cumstances he would leave it to
some one else to bring out the dam
aging truth.
I have alluded to the difficulty of
replacing Lloyd George that has
chiefly kept him in power.
A Milner-Asquith combination
might meet the situation. In Milner
there would be assurance of the ef
ficient prosecution of the war, whieh.
in each change of ministry she has
made, England has imperiously de
manded. In Asquith there would be
assurance of an approach toward
sympathy with and understanding
of Mr. Wilson's idealistic interna
tionalism, which, unquestionably,
the rising British democracy de
mands. The Milner-Asquith com
bination is discussed In dispatches.
Lloyd George has proved equal to
many attacks, but this seems to be
the most formidable In his history.
The forces that elevated him are
now arraigned against him.

Fourth Loan Publicity
on Heels of the Third
Washington, May 9.—Before work
on the Third Liberty Loan Is finished
the Treasury's Joan publicity bureau
has started preparations for the
fourth loan, which will be held next
fall. All artists and designers were
asked to-day to submit designs for
posters, window cards and buttons
by June 1. These aro to be donated
to the Government.
Bond buyers' buttons for the fourth
loan will be smaller than those used
in the third campaign and will be
made of tin, in order to save cellu
loid for more important war pur
poses.
