The Italian armored cruiser
Giuseppe Garibaldi has been torpedocd
and sunk in the Adriatic by an Aus

from Viena. The destroyed warship,
which displaced 1924 tons and had q
complement of $50 men was laid down
IL years ago.
News dispatches from Athens re-
port hard fighting on the GalhpoIi
peninsula with the forces of the
entente allies attacking along the
whole front. The attacks are said to
have been successful but there is no
definite news as to the extent of the
ground said to be gained.
Belated dispatches from Russia tell
of the concentration of the great
AuStro- German forces on the 100-mile
line between the Vistula and the Bug.
1t is here that severe pressure Is now
being put by Field Marshal Won
Mackensen upon the Russian forces in
the great Teutonic move against the
armies of the Grand Duke Nicholas
which has brought forth simultaneous
attacks all along the front from the
Baltic provinces to Bessarabia. Rus
sia's army opposing General Won
Mackensen is declared to be one of

State College, Pa, July 10. - The

Pennsylvania State College will CO.
operate with the United States Gov
ernment's new board Of aviation to
work for the development of the Am
erican aviation corps, and place it
ahead of the sky-hghting machinery
of other nations. Experim will be
conducted here to measure the lifting
power of the various sizes of planes.
Investigations along this line, begun
here four years ago, will be resum ed
by Dean Sackett and his assistants.
They will continue and enlarge the
experimental work after the value of
the collected data has been deter
mined.
circular railway track, a quarter
of a mile long, has been erected. The
track carries car operated by an arm
from a central station within the
circle. Overhead planes are attached
to the car by delicate springs supplied
with gauges. AS the car speeds around
the track, the operator seated on IL
records the readings of the gauges.
From the material thus collected will
be calculated the variations of power
in size of planes and changes of
speed.
State Colleges experiment station
is the pioneer in this particular field
of investigation.

More Trouble For the
Upper End Commissioner

County Commissioner John H. Eby,
of Lykens, candidate for denomination
on the Democratic ticket on a brand
new platform built for the exigencies
of this year, is face to face with more
trouble. At first he thought he was
going to ride in on the machine band
wagon with reorganization banners.
Then he found Sheriff H. C. Wells
who is a Democratic campaigner of the
old-fashioned get-there type, had an
nounced he would be a candidate.
next Samuel w. Taylor declared he
thought he would be a candidate
too.
And now Charles S. Keefer, a form
er Harrisburg policeman, who lives in
Upper Paxton not far from Millers-
burg and who has many friends and
relatives in the upper end, is out as a
candidate. This makes two Demo-
cratic aspirants from the upper end
and a contender right in Eby's own
bailiwick. Worse than that Keefer
has pre-empted one of Eby's shouting
notices: IT promise to give each tax
payer a square deal"
And worse still, Keefer says: "If
nominated and elected l promise to
give the office my entire attention"

ports from the South Wales coal
fields, indicate no progress in the ne
gotiations for settlement of the strike
but efforts will be made at the cabi-
net meeting to-day to find some means
of speedily solving the labor problems.
1t is generally believed in the mining
districts, however, that no satisfactory
way out of the present difficulties can
be found unless the government takes
over the mines and operates them
during the war.
One of the first things the miners de-
mand is the withdrawal of the procla-
nation which brings them under the
provisions of the munitions bill. They
resent the idea of working under
coercion and insist they will not
