NEW YORKERS GREET
FRENCH COMMISSION
TENS OF THOUSANDS ASSEMBLE
IN STREETS T1'O CHEER
WAR PARTY
By George Martin
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York, May 9.-The climax of
the tour of Marshall Joffre, Vice-
Premier Viviani and the other mem-
bers of the French war commission
was reached this afternoon when the
French representatives arrived in New
York. Tens of thousands were mazs-
ed in the streets of lower Manhattan
to greet the commissioners.
Skyscrapers Jammed with Spectators
The Battery where the commission-
ers landed from Jersey City shortly
before 5 o'clock, was banked with men
am women. The crowd broke through
the police lines shouting and waving
flags and cheering Jofre. The trip
up Broadway was an ovation. Each
window of the great skyscrapers was
jammed with humanity. From the
brokers' offices great roles of ticker
tape came fluttering down upon the
Frenchmen. Flags were everywhere.
$cool Children Cheer Commissioners
M.ssed in front of the City hall
were hundreds of school children who
broke into cheering and singing as
the autos bearing the commissioners
rolled up. Joffre and Viviani had in
the machines enormous bouquets of
American Beauty roses presented to
them by the customs house employees.
One of the greatest crowds that ever
gathered about the City hall was
massed in the park and lined far down
Broadway and Park Row. The com-
missioners were received at the City
hall by Mayor Mitchell and other city
officials. I
CONFEREES AGREE
ON PAY INCREASE
Make Progress in Efforts to Reach
Agreement .on Conscrip-

Washington, May 9.-House and sen-
ate conferees on the army bill this
afternoon agreed on its pay increase
feature and as a result all enlisted
men now receiving less than $21 per
month will be raised $10 a month.
The conferees were reported to be
making some progress in their efforts
toward agreement on the conscrip-
tion act, although Senator Chamber-
lain was skeptical that complete
agreement could be reached.
It was understood that the Roose-
velt division amendment probably
would be stricken from the bill by
the conferees, that the arm'y prohibi-
tion amendment feature would be re-
tained, and that the draft age limit
would be fixed at 21 to 31 years.

SENATORS ACTIVE;
FEAR COTURE GAG
Members Introduce Flood of Amend-
ments to Prevent Passage of
Espionage Bill
By Robert 3. Bender
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, May 9.-Fearing a
closure gag on discussion of the ad-
ministration's espionage bill, senators
this afternoon loosened a flood of
amendments which would serve to pro-
tect the interest of the American press.
"Owing to the fact there is now on
the vice-president's desk a motion to
invoke closure and thereby cut off
full and free discussion of this meas-
ura, I am taking the course of intro-
ducing an amendment to the bill now,"
Senator Lafollette of Wisconsin said.
Senator Johnson of California then
Qumped up and said, "To be on the
safe side I wish to introduce an
amendment to strike out the censor-
ship section of the espionage bill."
Cummins, Iowa, followed Johnson with
an amendment making the censorship
feature of the bill inapplicable to the
proceedings of congress. Kirby and
Kellogg also followed with amend-
ments.

IN DEADLOCK BATLE
TEUTON ATTACK ADVANCES IN
MASSED LINES; ARTILLERY
FIRE CONTINUES
By William Phillip Simms
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
With the British'Armies in the Field,
May 9.-Tremendous attacks of massed
forces, violent artillery fire on both
sides, doggedly stubborn resistance
and equally determined attack marked
the fighting of last night and today
around Bullecourt and Gavrelle.
British Repel Attack of Teutons
No amount of losses inflicted by
British gun fire seems to stop the
German attack until the massed lines
literally melt away. One such attack
was thus repelled by the British forces
around the "Gavrelle wind-mill last
night. It was preceded by a terriffic
German bombardment of the position.
At almost the same instant the enemy
massed for an attack near Fresnoy,
three miles to the north of the wind-
mill. They were dispersed by crush-
ing artillery fire. British counter at-
tacks followed soon after and directed
at German positions west of the vil-
lage strengthened the British lines.
German's Show Nervousness
The fighting front now runs just
adjacent to the western limits of
Fresnoy. Throughout last night the
Germans showed the most intense
nervousness, particularly around
Bullecourt. There the Teuton guns
sprayed a constant fire in front of
the British trenches, the enemy evi-
dently fearing another attack. Prus-
sian artillery was exceedingly active;
during the night between Cojeul river
and Monchy, as well as at intervals
along the Scarp river front.
CANADIAN CLUB WILL ELECT

Election of officers for next year

Prof. I. C. Sadler Discusses Subma-
nine Menace; Warfare May Be
Brought to America
Military matters reigned supreme
last night with members of the en
gineering college, beginning at T
o'clock in Hill auditorium with six
reels of motion pictures and a lecture
on army life by Major M. J. Phillips

ous branches of the service in action.

ame forward with ships to replace
those detroyed by the submarne
menace, the underseas craft of the cen-
tral powers would very soon cut off
America from the rest of the world,
and marine warfare would be carried
to her very doors.

engineers, giving them bits of sond
advice and wishing them success In
