_NEW YORK, May 5.-Count Von Bernstorff, German Ambassador left for Washington carly tilts afternoon after having received by wrieless the text of the German note. The Ger- man embassy holds the view that the note is all the United States asked and that it slgnalises a return to what is termed cruiser warfare; that tho utili- zation of submarines as cruisers to lrl- tercept commerce' with visit and search is the embassy’s view in~as-much as no mention is made of the question of armanment.
(Special to the Guardian.) -
WASHINGTON. May 5.-Secretary
Lansing this afternoon said it is pos-
sible the United States ml ht ask Ger
g _
many for an official copy of the orders to submarine commanders which have
never been communicated to the state department, so they might be compar- ed od with the new orders descrlbbd in the note. Lansing would not discuss except to say that mistakes in sub- marine warfare are not admissible and to reiterate that the United States was willing to discuss the conduct of sub~ marine warfare with Germany after the latter had abandoned h_er present practice. It was stated officially late today that if the otlicial text of Ger- many's note bears out the unofilcial copy transmitted in press despatches today the United States will accept the assurances it contains and await the fulfillment of its promises.
PARIS, May 5.-The French succes-
ses on the left banks of the Mensa have been of greater importance than indicated by first reports, according to a semi-official statement, issued last night.
The French troops; by a skillfully
prepared and brilliantly executed operation, have thrown back the Germans on the northwest side of Dead Man's Hill, beyond the line held at the beginning of March. The ene- my has thus lost, by a single stroke his gains painfully made by two months of continuous costly attacks.
Dead Man’s Hill has twin summits
(Special to the Guardian.) known respectively us Hills No. 265 and 295. On the first of these, the Germans had effected a footing, but now have been completely cleared from Hill 265.
The Germans surprised by the
suddenness of the French attack were thrown back ill disorder, and suffered exceptionally heavy 'losses, particularly from the preliminary bombardment_ The large number of Germans killed explain why so few prisoners were taken.
PARIS, May 5.-West of the Meuse,
the Germans yesterday evening
strongly attacked the French posi- tions llortll of Hill 304, says the ofll- cial statement issued this afternoon by tho French war ollice, but they were repulsed along the whole front attacked, except in one or two joints in the advanced trenches.
An attempted attack on the trench-
es at Cahlly. south of the Somme,
this statement adds completely fail- e .
East of the Mouse and ill the
Woevre, there was an intermittent bombardment. Otherwise the front
was comparatively calm.

refused to do so. If a man was wortlly to be elected he was worthy to have the confidence of the people. He thought it was unfair and put a candi- date at a disadvantage to compel- him to abandon all political principles for the sake of one thing that might not be of half the importance of many other other public questions. He thought that the automobile spelt pro- gress, and he had always expressed himself privately and publicly in fa- vour of lt. He contended against the argument that automobiles destroyed the roads. pointing out that they were not as rough on the roads as carriagcs_ They ran on smooth wheels. whereas the carriages cut illto the roads. In Massachusetts, he said, there were 150,000 machines paying $10 each to the upkeep of the roads and this meant one and a half millions of dollars every year spent on tho roads. and the roads of Massachusetts were among the finest in the world. He claimed that the roads in his province were better than those ol' any other province, being wider and smoother. He did not think there was ally much weight in the ar- gument' about horses being frightened by motor cars. He said he did not consider the voting at tho school meet- ings was fair. The vote in'Tignish. for, instance, was remarkably small. There were 40 householders there and the result of the vote was 3 for 5 against. Tllat really was a vote in favour of automobiles, because every person \vllo did not vote was evidently not opposed to them. A few years ago the temperance question was a live one slid Sir Wilfred Laurier took a plobiscite of the Dominion. The vote, was very small and there was a ma- jority In favour of prohibition, but the government did not grant it, Sir Wil- frid’s excuse was that In his opinion the vote was not a proper expression of the opinion of the country, and that there should be a full vote before he would be justified in granting prohi- bition. Some hon. members on the » -m-_ side of the Housahad said that Sir Wllfrid's view of the matter was lflght, and he (Mr. Dalton) quite sg-
rged with it too. Well. that case and
e ‘automobile question were anela- ou`l in regard to the plebisclte. If
xl who could have voted had done so,
le»result` would have been different,
Lust year he thought it might be con- gdiiient to have automobiles run to the' _ lihtorium. From North Wiltshire' to Lot 85 there were about .40 or 40
gi-mars and he called on everyone
take a vote for or againltthe auto-.
mobile, and only 2 were against it, and
they afterwards expressed their re- gre at having voted that way. There were 60 or G0 _automobiles tn the pro- vinoe,'and if that resolution passed. were the parties willing, helaslled, tlist the Government should put its hands into' tile treasury and recom- pense the owners? Why should those melt suffer such a terrible loss? Were the .supporters of tile resolution wil- ling to take the responsibility of which the passing of the resolution would ln- volve in this resold?

(From Our Own Correspondent.) OTTAWA, May 5.-Havillg flslled all
week and taken nothing before the Ro- yal Commission of enquiry illto the four fuse contracts investigation which they themselves asked for, thc Oppo- sition came to parliament today to rc- quest the enlargement of the scope of the probe to include considerably over half of all the contracts for shells made by the Shell Committee. Their mo- tion, or rather a motion to adjourn on which the matter was brought up, was defeated by a vote of 46 to 19. It is the first straight motion to adjourn be- lieved to have. been voted on for the last thirty years or more_
The motion for widening of the fuse
contracts enquiry was made by Mr. F. B. Carvell this afterlloon. Mr. Car- vell‘s statement was that Mr. I. F. Hell- muth as Government Counsel had put in correspondence dealing with all ear- ly contracts made by the Shell Com- mittee and that it had been incidental. ly stated that a profit of $31,000,000 had been made by the committee in connection with these contracts which it was intended to turn'over to the war ofllce. These documents were simply bald statements and therefore Mr. Car- vell demanded the right to cross exa- mine in regard to them for that rea- son to go into the particulars of all the early contracts made by the Commit- tee. The Commission had ruled that while Mr. E. F. B. Johnston, Opposi- tion Counsel, could examine as to the particulars of the four contracts re- ferred for enquiry, and generally into others to ascertain the relations of the Shell Committee and the war otllce, it could not go into particulars of the latter. He also asked that the Com- mission be created a court by procla- mation of parliament so as to have po- wer to examine witnesses in New York state.
Sir Robert Borden in reply pointed
ollt that Mr. .Iollnstoll's’ position was that the inquiry should be as open to
him as though all the contracts of the Shell Committee had been referred to the Commission for inquiry. But that had not been done, the Imperial autho- rities had been asked it they desired a general shell contracts inquiry and until they intimated their desire fm' one, none would be held, but faciiitic" for inquiry into the four contracts charges in regard to which the issue that the Opposition had preseu ted to the House had been granted by the Government and now the Opposi- tion wished to raise another question and request some other inquiry not covered ln the charges as made.
Hon. C_ J. Doherty pointed out tha:
the Royal Commission now had full powers to summon witnesses. etc, pon sessed by a court and that parliament could give it no more status in New York state than it already possessed. "The Opposition were very brave when they made their charges" said Mr. Do- herty “they clamored for a body to in- vestigate what is now being investiga- ted, and what do théy do? It does not seem unfair to suggest it iookq as i` they were running away from the issuc they themselves tendered."
Hon. Arthur Meighen, Solicitor Gt-»
neral, Hon. Wm. Pugsley and E. M MacDonald also spoke on the snbjerf While outlining his case before thf- House Mr. Cervell saw fit to make an illtirely gratuitous reference _to Ml' John Best of Dufferin, as "a farmer member." He repeated it at anothe" juncture and raised a, storm, which though brief vias more violent than anything else of the kind seen in tho House this session, several of thc “farmer members" on the Government side of the House resented the remark and Mr. Carvell was informed that lr- was "a rebel and ought to be shot."
