As soon as the air- ship was sighted the aeroplane be- gan to ascend and, gaining an advan- tageous position above the airship, it opened fire with .a machine gun and a rifle, using a special projectile de- signed to set balloons on fire. The airship maneuvered wildly in an en- deavor to escape. It was descending all the'time, and finally was almost at sea level. The men on L-48 continued firing. One of their shots set the Italian air- ship afire. The hull was burned and the gondola fell into the sea. An Austrian torpedo boat was in the vi- cinity, and in a few moments the two ‘officers and five men composing the crew of the airship'had been:rescued. None of them was injured, and they were made prisoners on board the torpedo boat. Then what was left of the airship went to the bottom.” CAEINET SOLIDLY BEHIND WILSON AVIATORS MADE PRISONERS. 39 .

Chicago, June 1v.—The national ex- ecutive committee of the socialist party met here yesterday and drafted two memorials to President Wilson— one on the Mexican situation and the other on conditions in Colorado as the result of thie coal miners’ strike. The committee protested' against the president’s changing his policy of non-interference in Mexico and rec- ommended that he order and investi- gation into the Colorado elections under’ the authority or the depart- ment of justice. “Speaking for more than one mil- lion voters,” the Mexican memorial says, ‘““we view with grave alarm the implied threat contalned in your' re- cent warning to the contending.ele- ments-of war-torn Mexico. The social- ist party is unalterably opposed to armed intervention anc if that is the hidden meaning of your changed atti- tude or the situation, then we do hereby solemnly protest against your mandate of June 2, in which you de- clare that this government must pres- ently do what it has not hitherto felt at liberty to do. Lend its active mor- al support to some man or group of men who can rally the suffering peo- ple of Mexico to their support in an effort to ignore, if they cannot unite, the warring factions of the country and set up a government which the great powers of the world can deal with. ‘“We feel that the Tnited States will best serve the interests of the Mexi- can people by not medling or inter- fering in the present crisis. We feel that armed intervention, means the practical assassination of the aspira- tions of ‘the liberty-loving Mexican people. This course we earnestly protest and will oppose with all the power at our command, no matter on what pretext such action may be based.” GULFLIGHT SAILS FOR ROUEN American Steamer Which Was Tor- pedoed, Leaves St. Mary’s. Scilly, Eng., June 10.—The Ameri- can tank steamer Gulflight, which was torpedoed by a German sub- marine off the Scilly Islands May 1, and for the damage to which the Ger- ‘man government has offered to pay an indemnity, cailed from St. Mary’s for Rouen yesterday under her own steam. When hit by the torpedo the Gul-|J. T. Meskill on June 15. flight was on her way from Port Arthur, Texas, for Rouen, - with a cargo of oil. The steamer, after she was torpedced, anchored in . Crow Sound and later was taken to St. Mary’s Roads.’ The German govern- ment in_reporting on the attack said it was due to a mistake of the sub- marine commander. “TOO OLD FOR CHAFF” Taft Declares Regarding New Term Talk. Boston, June 10.—“Clergymen, al- though ordinarily men of peace, be- lieve in manning the guns, whenever an attack is made on this country, and whenever it is necessary to bear wit- ness for the principies on which the nation' was founded,™ said Rev. Ed- mund S. Rousmaniere, dean of St. Paul’s cathedral, at'the annual dinner of the Massachusetts Medical society tonight. b ‘Former President Taft, who also spoke,.avoided reference to the war. In response to a suggestion by one of the guests that he might serve an- other term in the White House, he remarked: “I am too old to be caught with any such chaff as that.” HAVE BROKEN LOOSE AGA!

New Haven, June 10.—Former Governor Simeon E, Baldwin consid- ers the resignation of Secretary Bry- an a misfortune, sail Governor Baldwin, “has been to pro- mote international peace by substi- tuting, in case of differences mnot to be settled by diplomacy, arbitration for war. The Hague convention of 1907 for the pacific settlement of in- ternational disputes provides among other things, that, iin disputes of an international nature involving neither honor nor vital interests, and arising from differences of opinion on points of fact, the contracting powers deem it expedient and desirable that the parties who have not been able to come to an agreement by means of displomacy should, as far as circum- stances allow, institute an interna- tional commission of inquiry to facil- itate a sclution of these disputes by elucidating the facts by means of an impartial nad conscientious investi- gation. “Apparently Mr. Bryan thought that the present circumstances al- lowed some inquiry of this nature into the facts in dispute between us and Germany, as both we and Ger- many are parties to The Hague con- vention, and she has twice offered to join with us in instituting such an in- ternational commission of inquiry to ascertain the points in dispute in the “His policy,” | Ewvents Tonight I RIS 5 L.
