U © CTiUD 1©^ nn©ITIl/rl^°y^^ N « w York - announced
I Ui OlAlllI lu 1 ' I Uullilt 5 ^t»urftday that it had been asked by
the British, French, and Russian gov
ernments to submit estimates for the
construction of powerful motor speed
boats, of sufficient strength to per
mit the mounting of two or more
light guns, the boats to be used, it Is
understood, in punning down German
submarines in the waters around
England and France anJ in the Bal
tic. The British government, it is
understood, wants a fleet of at least
one hundred of these craft, while the
Russians, it is said, want thirty or
forty. The number wanted by France
is not known. >
The boat proposed is to be thirty
feet long and seven feet beam, guar
anteed to make fifty miles an hour.
It will be easy to navigate and even
when traveling at great speed will be
able to turn sharply. The Smith
factory is in Canada, near Detroit, on
the St. Clair River, and so no pos
sible violation of American neutrali
ty is Involved.
The motive power of the boats will
be furnished by twin engines, each of
two hundred and fifty horse power,
and the guns will be mounted one on
each side just forward of the driving
gear. Each bott can carry, if neces
sary, fuel and supplies sufficient to
last several days, although it is con
templated that this will not be need
ed as, owing to the speed of the
boats, they can make port whenever
necessary. Furthermore, they can
be equipped with light wireless sets
Each boat will displace about four
tons.

FEAT BY SPARTANS
Government Refuse* to Informally
Discuss Forthcoming Reply Bat Of
ficials are Far From Satisfied at its
Expected Tenor—Situation is Oiti-
cal.
The United States will not engage
informally in any discussion or nego
tiation with Germany regarding the
character of the forthcoming reply to
the last American note on submarine
warfare.
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin has
been informed that such is the presi
dent's decision, and that the ambas
sador is to make no comment on the
tentative draft given him by the Ger
man foreign office. If asked for an
expression, he is to sr.y that the Unit
ed States will await a formal reply
before discussing the question fur
ther.
The outline of the German note, as
cabled by Ambessador Gerard, is
known to be far from satisfactory to
officials. With respect to the sinking
of the Lusitania, on which more than
one hundred Americans perished, no
admission of liability is made.
Whether an extenuation or not, the
view is expressed in the draft that
when torpedoed it was not believed
the Lusitania would sink as rapidly
as she did.
As for the future, citizens of the
United Spates would be permitted to
travel with safety on the high seas if
they were passengers on American
ships, or on belligerent ships not car
rying munitions of war. The United
States would be required to inform
the German government of the date
of departure of and character of ves
sels carrying Americans and guaran
tee that such ships had no munitions
df war aboard.
In this connection high officials
atated that it would be an unneutral
act for the United States to notify
any belligerent government of the
date of departure from an American
port or the character of the cargo of
• merchantman of a belligerent.
Count Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, was in communication by
wireleas with his government during
the day aad Is und *rstood to have
advised the Berlin foreign office that
the form In which the proposals had
been made did not appear to be ac
ceptable to the United States.
He learned that the position of the
Washington government was Uiat
there most first be a recognition by
■y of the principle that an un
I aad unresisting merchantman

and crew removed to
place of safety, before the ship is de-
Unttl there la an agreement on this
principle the American government
can not diacuss any modus vivendi
or temporary arrangements, It is de
clared The German embassador, it
ta believed, la urging hla government
to make a broad statement on the
principles Involved and reserve for
later discussion questions concerning
the separation of passenger and con
traband traffic.
The proposal made by Germany
that belligereLt passenger vessels
which do not carry munitions of war
shall be immune from attack, pro
vided they heed warnings of subma
rines and submit to visit and search,
is not regarded as of itself objection
able, providing Great Britain and
Germany were to enter Into sufli an
agreement
The American government, it is
understood, would be willing to as
sist in making arrangements for the
safe carriage of Americans aboard
belligerent passenger vessels which
do not carry munitions of war if the
arrangement were first made between
the belligerents. Such a method, de
scribed in diplomatic usages as a
modus vivendi, would not involve any
surrender of rights for the future
and would he applicable only during
a fixed period.
For the United States of its own
initiative to make concessions, it is
Ijeld, would imperil the entire fabric
o>-American rights with other l>ellig-
erents.
The suggestion is contained in the
German note, as now dr fted, that a
system of inspection ba begun ,jvhere-
b* American officials end *fierman
consular officers would certify to the
character of the vessels carrying de
parting Americans. This, it is as-i
sorted, would also be an unneutral
act. The United States has had no
official connection with the certifica
tion by British consuls of cargoes of
goods consigned to neutral countries.
These arrangements merely have
been entered into by American ship
owners themselves to protect their
vessels from detentions and delays.
It is considered Improbable that the
ousters of British vessels would agree
to any inspection by German officials
or recognize the right of American
officers to do other than insure
against violation of rules of neu
fcrallty.
Aa a whole the German proposals
are not regarded by well-informed
officials as bringing the questions at

CREW CAUGHT ON
With the Athenian Bhlps Moored
Near the Beach Their Crews Were
Slain While Eating Breakfast on
the Shore A Glimpse Intoh^An-
clent History, \y ‘
In the fighting at the Dardanelles
the British have lost six battleships.
They are the Ocean and Irresistible,
sunk by mines in the battle of March
18; the Goliath, sunk by a Turkish
destroyer in April; the Triumph and
Majestic, torpedoed by a German sub
marine in May, and the Agamemnon,
which presumably met the same fate
about the same time.
This is a larger number of ships of
the line than the British navy has
lost in any action since' the defeats
by the Dutch in the middle of the
seventeenth century, and a larger
number of ironclads than any navy
has ever, lost, with the exception of
the Russian losses in the battle of
the sea of Japan in 1905. Added to
the disabling of the armored vessels
by gunfire in the battle of March 18,
and the loss of some smaller vessels
at various times, these losses have
given the British people a great
shock.
It is a coincidence that these
losses by the greatest of modern
navies have occurred almost within
sight of the spot which saw the ruin
of the greatest sea. power of ancient
times. The Athenian navy, which
was founded by Themistocles, saved
Europe by its victory over the Per
sians ,.t Salamis in 480 B. C., and
ruled the Aegean and the Mediter
ranean, despite occtoional defeats
until the disaster at Aigospotamol
(Goat Rivers) near the present vil
lage of Jumalikoi, in the Dardanelles,
in 405 B. L
One of ths ironies of the disaster,
which made Sparta the leading power
among the Gree k states, was the fact
that It was not a naval battle, nor
indeed a battle at all. The crews of
the fleet were caught while eating
breakfast on shore. The most effec
tive navy of the ancient world wis
ruined finally when its sailors were
■surprised on the beach with their
ships drawn up nu rows on the
strand, whence they\could not be
launched. TreacheryXcontributed
largel/Utythe disaster, ancLparty pol
itics an<J its accompanying dlajoyalty
’had weakened th«r Athenians serious
ly before It occurred.
Warships Depended on Oars.
The standard battleship of those
days was the trireme, a wooden ship
with a single mast and a square sail
which was of very little use In the
propulsion of the vessel. The mo
tive power was furnished by rowers,
of which each ship carried 180. In
the Athenian fleet these came mostly
from the lower orders of citizens,
though there were a considerable
number of foreign mercenaries serv
ing among them, and in the latter
part of the war a few slaves. The
“galley slaves ' of tradition, however,
were in the main a latter institution
The oarsmen worked three rows of
oars, and the exact arrangement of
these is something over which schol
ars have argued in vain. No modern
shipbuilder could construct a trireme
except by accident. Besides the oars
men, each vessel carried from ten to
twenty heavy f rmed soldiers in case
of a fight at close quarters, but the
accepted method of warfare was ram
ming with a heavy bronze or iron
beak fittejl to the prow of the ship.
The Athenians, wno made great
advances in the naval* warfare of
their time, developed Intricate ma
noeuvres looking to the disabling of
the enemy’s ships or the destruction
of the tactical efficiency of his squad
ron, but the ram was the principal
weapon by "which naval battles were
decided.
A feature of the trireme was its
very small space for supplies. War
fleets kept close to shore in those
days for the excellent reason that
they Imd to land frequently to get
food aiijd water. When there was
urgent necessity a few days’ food
could be taken along in transports,
but a voyage straight across the open
sea was next-to impossible for a large
fleet. This made naval strategy easy,
for a defending fleet had oniy to p)ck
out an easy harbor on the coast line
and wait, with the moral certainty
that its opponent would he along in
the course of time.
Athens as a Sea Power.
The Athenian fleet had been su
preme in the earlier stages of the
Peloponnesian war, but after the
great defeat at Syracuse in 413 B.
C., when more than two hundred tri
remes and about fifty thousand men
were lost, their sea power was crush
ed for the moment, and their allies
revolted and joined the enemy. For
tunately it did not take long to build
a fleet in those days, but when the
war was resumed on the ocean the
Athenians were no longer masters of
the strategic situation from Rome to
the Isthmus of Suez, as they had
been in the earlier part of the war,
but had to fight for the control of the
Aegean Se& at their very doors, and
of the Hellespont and Bosporus.
Then, as now, the Hellespont (Dar
danelles) was of importance on ac-

Seven-eighths of the wounds in the
Galician fighting were caused by
shells, half of which were fired from
big caliber guns, said Surgeon-Major
l.esghintseff to an interviewer on re
turning to Warsaw from the front.
"Bullets play no part now." he
continued, "and the infantryman’s
rifle is a toy. Infantry merely occu

Most devastating of all are the

allies, which are sevehteen inches in

ser shoots it * high angle and its
shells penetrate twenty feet into soft

of one hundred and fifty yards and
even farther off. The mere pressure

changes or surrender any point.
Irrespective, however, of the sug
gestions made ns to the future con
duct of German submarines as sug
gested in the preliminary draft of the
German reply, one of the chief causes
of the pessimism is the treatment to
be accorded the Lusitania tragedy.
The German government, it is un
derstood, has taken the position that
there was no intention to sacrifice
non-combatants, the view of the Ger
man commander being that the ves
sel would be difficult and slow to
sink and there would be ample oppor
tunity to remove passengers to a
place of safety. The United States
said in Us note that reparation would
be sought for the sacrifice of Ameri
cans on the Lusitania, but Germany
has denied liability for the occur
rence.
In some official quarters there is
still liope that the refusal of Ambas
sador Gerard to discuss concessions
may convince the German officials of
the earnesti.ess of the United States
and bring about modifications. There
are intimations from Berlin, however,
that officials there do not believe the
American government will insist op
the position it took in its last note
and that public opinion in the United
States favored compromising the is
sue.
§ome high officials in Berlin, it is
said, are of the opinion that public
sentiment in the United States on the
question of separating passengers
and contraband traffic supports Mr.
Bryan’s view, as expressed since his
resignation. This and other phases
of the question gave the situation an
atmostphere of doubt and uncertain

Hkratidas were left in comrband of
the Athenian aad Spartan fleets re
spectively, Kalllkratidas, with a far
superior force, blockaded the Athen
ians In the^harbor of Mltylene in the
yea* 408 B.,C„ whereupon a new
fleet was built at Athens by desperate
exertions and the blockading Spartan
squadron was attacked at the islands
of Arglnoussal, The result was a
great victory for Athens. Kallikra-
tidas, the Spartaq admiral, was killed
and seventy of his ships sunk. The
Athenians lost twenty-flve ships, and
after ; the battle there was a great
outcry among the families of their
crews because the eight Athenian ad
mirals had not abandoned the pur
suit of the enemy to take the sailors
off the sinking ships.
Defeated Admirals Executed.
Public excitement arose to such a
height that six of the admirals were
brought to trial, the other two having
prudently fled to foreign parts when
they heard what was in the vind,.
and the assembly ot the Athenian
people sat in judgment. The defense
was that several subordinate com
manders had been ordered to drop
back with a division of the fleet to
save the crews while the^mUln bodies
continued the pursuit, but the subor
dinates, being influential politicians,
evaded the charge. Friends- of the
admirals, who interposed constittby
tional objections, were told thaf"Tf
was an outrage that the sovereign
people should not do what it pleased.
The unlucky six were condemned and
put to death.
This naturally discouraged naval
enterprise. Although the next group
of admirals elected included the able
Konon, none of them dared to take
any active steps. Hence Lysander,
who was now made chief of staff and
in effect commander of the Spartan
fleet, sailed past the Athenians and
captured the town of Lampsakos on
the Hellespont which as Lampsaki on
the'Dardanelles has figures in recent
dispatches. This at once not only
threatened the Athenian grain sup
ply, but cut off the revenue from the
tariffs which the Athenians had ex
acted from ships passing through the
Narrows. So their fleet of 180 ves
sels rowed into the strait and drew
up on shore at the mouth of Goat
Rivers, just across the Dardanelles
from the spot where the Spartans lay
at anchor. Lysander had the advan
tage qf position, with a city at his
back from which he could draw sup
plies. The Athenians had to scatter
up and down the coast every day and
forage for their food.
Every morning Lysander cleared
hts ships for action and rowed out
into the strait, which at this point is
less than two miles wide. Whenever
he did this the Athenians hurriedly
drew up ready for action on their
side of the Hellespont, but they were
on the defensive, parity for psycho
logical reasons and partly because a
defeat for them meant ruin, while a
defeat for the Spartans meant only
that they would have to build an
other fleet. So every day, when Ly
sander withdrew to the beach and
up his threat of attack, the
i did likewise and scattered
to get'food along the shore.
Athenians Are Trapped,
Lysander, however, kept several
fast ecout ships to apprise him of the
exadt movements of the Athenians,
who were now convinced that he had
been trying to surprise them and had
been balked by their vigilance. Alct-
bades; their former general, who had
a castle near by, came down and
pointed out to the fleet commanders
their dangerous position, but natur
ally they refused to admit that Alci-
bades could tell them anything about
their business. So the Athenian
fleet remained in its exposed posi
tion) and after the Spartan fleet had
come out, drawn up in.line, and then
retreated on the fifth morning, the
Athenians again drew their ships up
on shore and scattered along the
coast. This was what Lysander had
waited for.
Upon signal from a scout ship his
own fleet, which had not been put
out of fighting trim and was ready
to return at a moment's notice, turn
ed about and rowed back across the
Dardanelles. The Athenian ships
were drawn up in rows along the
beach, empty of men. The arms were
in the ships or scattered along the
shore, and the men were everywhere
except at their positions. Konon and
one or two other officers, still on the
alert, managed to escape with nine
ships, and, prudently refusing to go
back to Athens with bad news, made
their escape to a neutral port and
were interned. The rest of the ships
were seized and their men captured
without a fight. Thereupon several
of the states allied to Sparta, brought
charges of atrocities against the
Athenians, and Lysander ordered his
men to cut the throats of the three
thousand Athenian citizens among
the prisoners.
All that w-inter Athens was be
sieged by land and sea, and in April
the .town surrendered after its people
had began to drop dead in the streets
from starvation. The peace confer
ence at which the allies deliberated
on the fate of the nation which had
tried to master the whole Greek
world was enlivened by the demands
of Thebes and Corinth, the nearest
neighbors of Athens, that the state
be entirely wiped out, but Sparta,
the principal member of the grand
alliance, being at a safe distance, de
cided that it would preserve the bal
ance of power to let Athens remain
as a weak state dependent on Sparta.
And before long the allies were fight
ing among themselves over the spoils
of war and the hegemony they had
wrested from Athens.
