Paris reports’ that a strong attack here was put down by the French guns and that the Germans appear to have suffered serious losses. On the remainder of the front in France and Belgium, aside from an unsuccessful German' infantry attack against the Belgians north of Steen- stracte, there have been only bom- bardments. The British in Egypt have carried out a successful manoeuver against the Turks and tribesmen at Bayoud and Mageibra, putting them to flight and destroying the camp at Bayoud. Austrian_aeroplanes have bombed Aviona, Albania, the only seaport on the eastern Adriatic remaining in the hands of the entente allies. That Av- lona probably is well fortified against an infantry attack is indicated by the statement of the Austro-Hungarian admiralty that the ralding aircraft were heavily shelled.

Eno, a bachelor, who died October 22, 1915, in his 82d vear and left an estate val- ued at $15,000,000, was described in the proceedings before the surrogate here today es one who for months prior to his demise was “Ifke a tree that had died at the top.” Counsel for relatives who are con- testing the Eno will, by the terms of which Columbia University would re- celve nearly $9.000,000, declared _that witnesses would testify that Mr. Eno's valet, “used to lead him to bed by the ear and used to tousle his head and say to him, ‘Come alons, old boy, it's time to go to bed. For twenty years, it was said, Mr.} Epo had been “making wills” and the contestants claim that he was a vic- time of senile dementia. “Instead of being a shrewd Yan- kee of a mean anr humble nature” the attorney for the relatives said, “as an aristocrat and a_spender. He had his shirts made in Paris, bought his fur- niture abroad and lived a comfortable and luxurious life. He got up late and spent abouit as much time at his office as you and I would if we were worth $13,000,000” The upholders, of the will denied that any undue influ- ence had been exercised upon Mr. Eno, adding that the contest in reality was starteq by the relatives “because they had been forgotten.” are discontented” asserted counsel, “because they received only $4.600,000. They wanted the rest of the estate, too. TWO GERMAN STEAMSHIPS TORPEDOED IN BALTIC SEA.

Were Allowed to Go Unguarded from Ohio Penitentiary to Ball Park. ‘Columbus, O, May 18.—Ferty-five cenvicts, unguarded, left the Ohio state penitentiary today, went to the Co- lumbus association ball park, where they participated in a ball game either as players or rooters and returned again tonight to their cells. The con= vict team was defeated, 8 to §, in ten innings by a team composed mainly of enlisted men from the United States army barracks at Columbus. The prisoners were free for the day only. Warden P. O Thomas told them this was their day. Besides the baseball squad, those who attended the game included the penitentiary band and a number of Pprisoners. “The convict team wore plain gray baseball uniforms marked With the letters “O. P."

Washington, May 18.—The second day of debate on the administration shipping_Dbill closed in the house to- night without any sul change being made in the measure. All de- i bate wili close tomorrow evening, al- | though less than one-seventh of the bill has been considexed for amend- ment thus far. Deme o leaders to- night expressed confidence that it would go through without material amendment. They are extremely un- certain, however, regarding its proba- ble fate in the senate. Rbpresentative Bemmett of New York occupied most of the time today in propesing general amendments. Rep- resentatives .Humphrey of Washington and Towner of lowe made futile at- tempts to strike out the provision de- signed to give the secretary of navy andsthe secref of commerce places on the shipping board. They insisted that the presence of members of the administration on the board would embarrass other members and prevent them from giving their best services. Speaker Clark took the floor in be- half of the bill, and Minority Leader Mann spoke against it. PRESIDENT WILSON ACTS IN CASE OF J. C. LYNCH. Convicted of Implication rising in Dublin. ‘Washington, May 18.—President Wil- son, acting at the request of Senator O'Gorman of New York, sent a message tonight through the state department to the ambassador at London directing him to make every possible effort to secure a delay in the execution of sen- tence on Jeremiah C.

President \Wilson was at a_theatre when Senator O'Gorman called at the White House. Secretary Tumuity hur- ried to the theatre and laid ihe facts before the president.

Irish Up- PRESIDENT TO SPEAK TO LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE Has Accepted Invitation For Friday or Saturday of Next Week. ‘Washington, May 13 —Discussion of the possibilities of an early restora- tion of peace in Europe and of plans to prevent war in the future was given added impeus among diplomats and of- ficlals here today by a announcement at t» White House that President Wilson had accepted an invitation to speak_either Friday or Saturday of next week before a meeting of the League to Enforce Peace, of which Former President Taft is president. Since the outbreak of the Burop- ean war, the president has refused many invitations to speak before peace organizations, but recently he advo- cated some of the things for which the League to Enforce Peace _is working, including the formation of a leaguo of mations with a common po- lice force to maintain peace and the establishment of an international court of_justice. While no details of what the presi: dent will say in his address next week were disclosed, it is understood he will make a statement on the subject of peace calculated to attract interest in Buropean capitals.

While tho appropriation proposad is,. if anything, an -Increase over the department’s plans, failure of the five year program and the fact that no dreadnoughts were provided for, make the bill unsatisfactory to administration officials. Secretary Daniels said tonight he never lost hope of getting what he asked for un- til congress adjourned. It was clearly indicated that the senate, which had not yet taken up consideration of the naval bill even in committee, was relied upon to restore the battleships. The senate has never failed to increase the program for the navy mapped out by the house and navy officials are confident that the fi- nal bill will provide for at least two battleshipse and four battle cruisers. Deadlock Followed Caucus. The deadlock in the house commit- tee followed a caucus of tke eight representation members of tns com- mittee at which it was decided to op- pose the five year program and to seek to increase ‘the 1917 appropriations over the figure suggested by the de- partment. Five of the thirteen demo- crats not only opposed the continuing program, but wers also determined. to cut down the 1917 estimates and not to vote for any battleship appropria- tion. They were willing to support a four battle crulser prosram, however, and the final compromizs was effected by Chairman Padgett with Represen- tative Hensley of Missouri, a leader so-called “Little Navy” democrats, who induced the other four fo join him in ng to the five battle Abandoned Five-year Project. To meet this concession Chairman Padgett was compelled to five-year project and it was not ‘brought to a vote in the committee, as it was certain of defeat if the repub- licans and little navy democrats com- bine He was also forced to pected to result in recommendations to the department in .the interést of American lives and property across| the southern boundary. Coincident with the gathering of the consuls, the state department today announced par- tial returns of the census of Americans in Mexico recently ordered. It was stated officially that the American col- ony in Mexico City now numbers abaut 1,200.
