CRUISER TORPEDOED:
578 FRENCH PERISH
Leon Gambetta Destroyed by Aus
trian Submarine-Al High Officers
of Ship Die at Posts.

Paris, April 30-The French cruiser
Leon Gambetta was sunk by an Aus
trian submarine, with the loss of 578
of her crew of ia, in the Strait of
Otranto, near the entrance of the
Adriatic sea, which was officially an
nounced by the ministry Of marine on
Wednesday.
The official announcement of the
sinking follows:
The Leon Gambetta was sunk
while cruising off the entrance of the
Otranto canal. She went down in
ten minutes. All the high officers
died at their posts. One hundred and
thirty-six sailors and petty officers
were saved by Italian boats"
The Leon Gambetta had on board
crew numbering ia men, including
twenty-five officers. A majority of the
men were asleep at the time.
They were taken from the water in
a pitifu1 condition. Some were wound
ed and others were almost uncon-
scious, while all suffered from ex
posture.
The Gambetta parted company
with the French cruiser Jules Ferry
Tuesday night to cross the Strait of
OtrantO, with view to cooperating
with other French ships in an attempt
to block the Austrian feet if it should
seek to leave the Adriatic.
The submarine US launched two
tOrpedoes against the Gambetta, both
of which were effective.
The Austrian submarine Us, which
sank the Leon Gambetta, was com
manded by Lieut. George Ritter Won
Trap.
LamentinG the loss of the Leon
Gambetta, the Temps says:
The cruiser was a valuable unit of
the French navy"
The Leon Gambetta was engaged
with other French cruisers in guard
ing the strait to prevent the passage
of Austrian submarines to attack the
allied fleet at the Dardanelles. The
cruiser displaced 12,416 tons.

Ask State for Bio Road Aid,

The Wisconsin highway commission
has received practically complete re-
turns from the town meetings which
give the amounts voted by the towns
for state aid road construction in
1916.
Returns were received from 942
towns out of the 1910 under the town
system. These towns reported votes
of $4,000 this spring, as opposed
to $447,500 at the spring meetings
last year, an increase of 68 per cent.
Estimating cSnservatively action in
the remaining towns, based on last
years action, and probable votes at
special meetings, indications are the
towns alone will ask for at least $685.
500 in state aid for 1916.
Action by cities and villages in &C
cordance with law is taken later Last
year the cities applied for $4,000 in
state aid and the villages for $136, 900.
Estimating conservatively that cities
will Apply for $81, 500 and villages for
$4,000 for 1916, gives a total appli-
cation for state aid by towns, villages
and cities of $1,070,O00.
If the state aid appropriation is re-
duced to 100000 as has been pro-
posed, the counties would probably
apply for only $751; giving total
application for state aid of 1927 500.
The applications for state aid for
1912 totaled $451,317; for 1913, $780,
900; for 1914, $1,558,840, and for 1915,

Not Sign the Agreement.
Chicago. May 3.-The western rail
road arbitration board handed down
its award on Friday in the case of &C..
900 engineers and firemen who had
asked 10 per cent increase in wages
and changes in working conditions.
Representatives on the board of the
engineers and f1remen refused to sign
tn award. They declared it granted
no increases in wages and that in
many cases wages would be re
duced if it were not for the clause in
the ward that where wages are high.
er now, they shall not be affected.
w. S. Carter contended the wages
in every engine west of Chicago was
higher now than granted by the
award. In the case of a few light
engines there was a slight increase.
Here and there the enginemen re-
ported a victory. The surprise tests
were ordered abolished
