NOrwegians Lose Three Ships
at Hands of Germans.

London, June S.-The Norwegian
vessels, Trudvang. Glittertind Superb,
have been sunk by German subma-
rines.
The Trudvang was hailed by a Ger
man submarine when off ST. Anne's
head The captain was ordered to
bring his papers aboard the subma-
rine, whose commander gave the crew
twenty minutes to take to the boats.
The submarine then sent twelve shells
into the Trudvang.
The shooting brought out a patrol
boat from Milfordhaven, which picked
up the skipper and crew, numbering
3, from the boats.
During the operation the subma-
rine attempted vainly to torpedo the
patrol boat. The men from the Trud-
wang were landed at Milfordhaven.

DREAM OF EMPIRE
Extension of Monarchy Beyond
the Old Frontiers.
King of Bavaria Glad to Settle
With Enemies.

Amsterdam, June S.-"Extension of
the German empire beyond the old
frontiers to secure it against future
attack was predicted by King Lud-
wig of Bavaria in an address yester-
day before the Canal league, accord
ing to a telegram from Munich. His
majesty said:
when the English declared war I
said, L am glad because now we can
settle accounts with our enemies; now,
at last. we may hope tesget more ia
Vorable communicaN Nons with the sea
for central and south Germany
'"Ten months have elapsed and
much precious blood has been shed,
bnt it will not have been in vain. The
fruits of the war will be the strength
ening of the empire with extension
beyond the old frontiers as far as is
necessary to secure it against future
attack.
He who marches with us-I mean
Austria Hungary and Turkey-will re-
joice, but not so false friends who
shamed friendship and behind our
backs went over to the enemy. We
are unconquered and the latest enemy,
who has been talking so much about
himself, has not dared a serious at
tack, although he took plenty of time
for preparation"

general of Kansas, came here today in

to Mr.. Smalley's office for a confer
ence Governor Capper said shortly

two or three days. Mr.. Brewster said
they would look over the affidavits
that have been taken in the investiga-
ton.
Anyone who wishes to make any
explanation or offer any new facts will
have a chance" said the attorney
general IF any wrong has been done
here the people ought to know it. On
the other hand, if certain conditions
in the largest city in the state have
been misstated that ought to be
brought out. The state officials are
eager to learn the real facts
At the conclusion of the conference
with Mr.. Smalley, Governor Capper
announced he and Mr.. Brewster will
begin a new probe of conditions this
afternoon. With the affidavitS made
before Mr.. SmaIley as his guide, the
governor plans to call witnesses be-
fore him and go over all the evidence
adduced previously.
One of the principa1 questions to be
gone into will be the actual conditions
existing in Kansas City, Kan, on cleo
ton day. including a thorough investi-
cation of precinct A. where II is al
