SUBMARINE SINKS
AMERICAN STEAMER
OIL TANKER ATTACKED OFF
SciLLY ISLANDS AND SENT
TO THE BOTTOM.
OF the Crew of Sixty-three, All Are
Saved Except Three, the Cap
tain Dying of Heart Failure as
Result of the Shock.

London.-The American oil tank
steamship Gulflight was torpedoed off
Bishops lighthouse, Scilly islands, at
noon on Saturday by German sub
marine. The vessel was badly dam
aged and the crew was landed at
Scilly by a patrol boat.
OF the crew of thirty-six thirty-three
were saved. Two jumped overheard
and were drowned, and the captain
later died of heart failure as a result
of the shock
The vessel was picked up by steam
sound, where it was beached
The Gulflight was laden with naph-
tina from Port Arthur to Rouen.
The French steamer Europe also
was torpedoed by submarine and
sunk off the Scilly islands. The sub
marine ordered the crew to take to
the boats, and then fred several
shells into the ship. The steamer did
not sink from the effects of these, so
the submarine launched a torpedo,
which sent her to the bottom. The
crew of the Europe was picked up by
a fishing smack and landed in Corn
wall, England The Europe was bound
from Barry to st. Lazaire with coal.
The British steamer Fulgent was
sunk off Skelling rocks, southwest of
County Kerry, Ireland, in the dark
Sundy morning, also by German sub
marine

PLAN SAFETY OF SHIPPING.
American Interests Informed How to
PreVeh$ Interference.


Washington.-The British embassy
issued statement Monday for the in
formation of American shipping inter
ests, designed to facilitate trade of
the United States with neutral coun-
tries by pointing out a way to guard
against interference by allied war,
ships with cargoes not under the ban
OF Great Britain's blockade order in
council. The statement has been sent
to all British consuls in the United
States, to whom shippers are advised
to give notice of the character of car.
goes so that the British government
may be advised before ships reach
European waters.
The United States does not recog-
nize the right of the allies to inter-
fere with legitimate commerce be.
tween neutrals, or with noncontraband
goods, even when ultimately destined
to Germany or Austria, and has set
forth its position in the lengthy dip
lomatic exchanges on the subject.

GERMANS DEFEAT
RUSSIAN FORCES
EMPEROR WILLIAMS FORCES
SAID TO HAVE CAPTURED
10000 RUSSIANS.
Cars Forces Get Partial Revenge by
Badly Beating Turks Who In
vaded Persia in Battle Last
ing Three Days.

The Russians have had at least par
tial revenge for the defeat inflicted
upon them in western Galicia by the
Austrians and Germans by badly beat
ing the Turks who had invaded Per-
STA. The defeat took place in a three
days battle near the frontier, and
Petrograd reports that the Russians
inflicted heavy losses on the Otto
mans. If the success OF the Musco-
yites has been followed mp, military
observers declare that Persia now
should be free Of her unlimited guests.
This battle, however, was small
affair when &ompared with what Ger.
many and Austria claim they have
done to the Russians in Galicia. Their
reports state that some 10000 Rus
SLAMS were captured and that a large
number of guns were taken. There
was no mention, however, of any
towns, such as Gorlice and Tarnow,
which were close to the front, being
captured, which leads the British mil
itary critics to the conclusion that
while the Germanic allies have won
important local successes, they have
not driven the Russians very far
back Should they succeed in doing
this, however, it is asserted that a
general retreat of the Russians would
be imperative, and that the whole Car
pathian offensive on which the Mus
covites have spent so much time and
so many lives would be completely
nullitied.
The Russian side of the story is
anxiously awaited, for big success in
the east it is believed here, would
mean an immediate commencement of
operations on large scale in the
west, for which the Germans already
are making preparations.
In Belgium thus far the fighting has
been confined to the Ypres region,
where the Germans claim to have cap,
tured some villages which the British
say they evacuated in the process of
readjusting their lines.

Assessor Writes Governor.

In letter to the governor in
reply to an inquiry about the high
taxes in school district No. 81 and
road district No. go, Fred E.
Wonnacott, assessor of Kootenai
county, says:
"There is apparently no limit to
the power to levy taxes. School
districts, like the one referred to
here, have the power to vote a
special IS mill tax and also addi-
tional road tax to the extent of
M mills. Cities and villages can
levy up to IS mills in addition to
the bond and interest levies.
"Independent school districts
can levy 10 mills special. The
proposition is this: With a full
value assessment, the levies for all
purposes should be limited to the
minimum and you must remember
that under the law we are under a
full value plan of assessment. If
We people of Idaho do not want a
full cash value assessment, all that
is required is short amendment
requiring the assessor to assess
property at 20, rs, 80, 40 or 50 per
cent of its value, then | suggest
the levies could stand where they
are.
Zone other reason for the high
taxes in Kootenai county is that
the railroads and corporate proper
ty of this county was not assessed
as high in proportion to its value
as other classes of property"
