FIVE CANDIDATES TO
OPPOSE ]. S. kONkEL
Two Former Mayors Enter Race
in Superior Recall Election.

SUPERIOR, WIS. - With nearly
week left in which to file there are
already five avowed candidates to OPP
pose Mayor ]. S. Konkel at the recall
election to be held Aug. 10. Two Of
them are former mayors under the old
ward form, one is a socialist and the
other a realty man who has never
previously entered politics.
Former Mayor Frank R. Crumpton,
the last to hold office under the ward
form, entered the lists Saturday; for
mer Mayor Victor Linley, author of
many reform laws when he was in
the legislature two years ago as SEN
ator, entered day earlier, and David
Dobie has just announced Mr.. Dobie
has been a resident of Douglas county
for more than quarter of century.
His son, Leslie Dobie, is now a mem
Der of the assembly from Superior.
The indications are that the cam
paign will be one of vituperation and
mud Singing unequaled in the history
OF the city. Much bitterness is dis
played by both sides to the fight,
particularly by Mayor Konkel and his
friends, who claimed that forcing the
chief executive of the city into one
recall election in which he was victor
should do for his term He asserts
that political factions promoted by the
progressive" element of the city are
backing the fight against him.

Huge Freishter AngIo-caIifornian
Loaded as Armenian, Reaches
Queenstown After Dramatic Expe-
rience-SheIed and Shot at During
Whole Time of Flight.
LONDON, ENG. = The big British
steamship Anglo-CalifOrnian limped
into Queenstown harbOr a veritable
floating shambles after having out
run a German submarine. Her wire
less apparatus, her bridge and upper
works shot away, her tunnels pierced
and her decks Uttered with dead and
dying, she accomplished the feat
vainly attempted by the Armenian a
week ago in the same waters.
Like the latter vessel, she was lad
en- with transport animals for the
British army--a cargo of horses
shipped from Montreal on June 21.
Panic among the latter during and
following the bOmbardment to which
the AnglO-CalifOrnian was subjected,
added to the horror of the situation.
The commander who brought her
through the hail of shot, shell and
rife fire-Captain Parslow-paid for
the achievement with his life. He
remained on the bridge among the
inferno until blown off by a shell. The
officer who assumed his post found
his body with one arm and one les
snot away.
Twelve Killed
The others of the crew who shared
his fate were, like the captain, hor-
ribly mutilated. The dead numbe"
twelve. Eight others were desper-
a,ely wounded and nearly all on
Beard suffered more or less in the
baptism of fire.
The lO-CalifOrnian is a staunch
steel ship of 1888 tons and the sec
Ond in size of a fleet of six fine
steamships owned by the Nitrate
Producers Steamship company, Ltd.
Her home port is London. She was
built three years ago at Sunderland,
and is $50 feet long, sc feet in beam
with a depth of SO feet. Two decEs
and a shelter deck give her smart
appearance, and she is driven by
powerful engines. Their worth and
her rating of 100 al, accorded by
LlOyds, was fully sustained by her
feat in reaching port.
While the crew was largely Brit,

Fight for Four Hours.
The attack on the Anglo-Califor-
MAN began almost twenty-four hours
before she reached port and cOntin-
Ued four hours. On the last lap of
her voyage across the Atlantic she
was heading in for Ireland Sunday
morning when the submarine was
sighted. The latter signaled a com
mand for her to lay to. Instead, the
captain gave the order full steam
ahead, and the most dramatic strug-
gle of the submarine blockade of the
United Kingdom was on.
The submarine chased the steamer
from s o'clock until noon and poured
shell fire and rife fire into her, but
was finally Outdistanced

SEA LOSSES OF WARMING NATIONS
 OVER Sl60,oo0,0o0

After ten months of tho 1or lose. os suffered by the contendlne naviea present some interesting points for speculation. snys tho London Journal of ComuVrce for June i5., afiofding comDafison of Che relative merits of the various offensive weapons in tho nayy struggle and showing how costly it is to Che countries concerned to indulge ln minor encounters
 Summarizing the losses under type of vessels. Great Britain and her Al lies have been deprived of che ser vices of eight baltleships li cruis- crs four ginboets, six destroyers, 70 submarines, 14 boats and six aymored merchantmen and auxiliaries
 The losses Of Germany aud her Al lies consist of one battleahip 2S cruisers. l5 gcnboais P torpedo craft. six submarines and 20 armed merchantmen and auxillarios
 Torpedoeo Destroy Moot
 Separating the losses under the various causes, neslecling auxillaries and armed merchantmen, the torpedo has deatroyed l3l,000 tons Of allied yossels the mine 50000 tons gunfire 27.Ooo tons and 22,ooo tons have been lost in various other causes.
 Those figures show that England and her Allies have lost 290,O0o tons of naval fighting material costing ap proMmately slO00o0,0oo, while the reuton and Turkish lossee total 1l0. 900 tons. worth about $6Iooco00
 British Losses Heavtest
 The figures also show that the mis. cellaneous losses officially recorded are approximately the same on both sides, while from torpedo. gun and mine the British and their allies have lost nearl, double the tonnage that their opponents have lost by the same causes By torpedo Che British loss es are 10 times more than those Of the other side, which shows clearly how Important part that weapon plays.
 In gunfire England has established long lead chiefly because the Ger man ships at large when war was declared have been destroyed by this means. In ihe armed merchantmen and auxiliary class the net register tonnage of allied ships destroyed ap. proximately amounts To 3O,000 while the German. Austrian and Turkish losses stand at approximately double that figure. The total financial loss In this instance amounts to about Si5 OO0.0Oo.
 Thus. ten months Of diminishing and preliminary actions leading to no definite results SO far as the biz question of naval supremacy is con cened has brought about tho de- struclion of about 450OOO tons o9 warships costing about S17o,000,O00.

RICH lN LEGENDARY
 LORE

"The way between Grado and Trieste lies through a remarkable country" says a National Geograph- ic Society war primor which de- scribes Che strange path before the invading Italians to the richest Aus trian seaport. Many chapters of little known. but fascinating history are associated with this coastal strip at the head of the Adriatic, and its legendary lore is as rich as that Of Granada. Wealthy Romans built up their villas along this way during lhe days Of the empire and to this re- zion many wars have sent eddits. whose memories have dimmed to for getfulness beside the main struggle fought on other fields
 "In peace times a small steamer, be. sides the railway furnished communi- cation between Grade and Triest. From the plain of the Isonozo the way rises steadily to Nabresina. and from Nabresula falls as steadily to the plain of Trieste. In the uplands the yiaducts wind in giant coils over the ragged slopes. and on every hand are panoramic pictures common to brok- en country. The climate is langu- orously southern. The gray lime stone breaks through the vegetation in great masses and the way is n- berally sprirkled with stone Quarries whose numerous pits and debris piles accentuate the pock marks of the hills. This torn land lies immediate ly before the advancing Italians
 "Water-worn holes in Che porous rock and mysterious grottoes and mouths 10 the underworld. character istic Of the Istrian region, are found here Added to tho difficulties of the way are many funneJshaped de. pressions which occT in the midst of the regular slopes. often several hundred feet across and 200 feet in depth There is mondesful maze of narrow abysses, hollows, pits coves grottoes. and Quarries worked from ancient times, scattered over this path rom AQuilleia and Grado to Trlest and it's sheltered bay"
