CHASED SEVEN HOURS.
Italian Steamship Finally Eluded Three
Submarines.

New York, Aug THE Italian
steamship Re D1tala, with three Amer
lean passengers on board from Genoa
! Italy, was chased for seven hours by
three submarines while in the Mediter-
ranean and was saved from capture by
use of defense guns mounted aft, accord
| ing to the report of her master, Capt.
Amedeo Pinceti. on the arrival of the
ship here yesterday. The captain said
he believed one of the submersibles was
hit by one of the shots fired, although his
only evidence was the appearance of the
column of water which rose in the air
where the shell fell
No shots were fired at the Re D'talia,
Captain Pinceti said, and all he saw of
the submarines were the periscope. They
were discovered by the lookout at $3.50
a. m. on July %, when the vessel was
about 200 miles from Genoa midway be-
tween the Balearic islands and the island
of Corsica. They were then one and one
half miles dead astern.
Captain Pinceti ordered the speed of
his ship increased to her full capacity,
about IL knots an hour. Then he sum
moned the crew of naval gunners on
board and took personal command of
them.
About 9:45 the submarines were slight
ly abeam ON the starboard quarter, trav
cling in aline, Captain Pinceti said. See
ing that they were chasing us, | ordered
the gunners to open fire. The third shot,
| believe, took effect, as the spout OF wa
ter that followed the falling of the shell
was much different from that caused by
the preceding shots. 1t was much heavier
the preceding shots 1t was much heavier
or oil. At any rate, from that time on, |
only two periscopes We're to be seen.
"The chase continued until 4;30 that |
afternoon, the boats not getting any
closer to us nor showing themselves. We |
kept on firing at them, in all Is shots
from our two three inch naval guns.
After our third shot, the submarines evil
lently tried to get in a position to launch
| torpedo, but were no doubt afraid to
'ome to the surface to get better speed
because of our guns. No flag was seen,
md there was no svay to determine their
but their wake as seen
through glasses indicated that they were
ig ones"
The three American passengers on the
se D'Italia were j. p. Foster of Philadel-
hia, veterinary surgeon; Paul Ed
Yards of Jersey City, and James Higgins
4 Cincinnati, who had gone over in
barge of consignment of horses.
The Re D'Italia is a vessel of 6,237 |

for the Russians along the Sereth and
Graberka rivers, south of Brody, were
announced by the war office to-day The
Russians captured strongly fortified po-
sitions in the region of the villages of
Evvium. Kostinieo and Reniuv.
The forward push of the Russians is
not only bringing them closer to Lem

is pointed out by military critics as like
ly seriously to endanger the entire Aus

which is being rapidly outfanked.

PAY FOR THEIR FUN.
Four Young Men Borrowed Touring Car
for a Spin.


Four young men who borrowed tour
ing car owned by Fl. NJ. Farnham Satur-
day night and enjoyed a repetition of
the nocturnal trips taken by two of the
quartet in November, 1915, were ar
ragned before Magistrate II. w. Scott in
city court this morning
Charles Melanson, a baseball pitcher,
admitted completely in the borrowing and
paid a S. fine and costs. Likewise Rob
ert Diack acknowledged the corn and
was asked to pay a similar assessment.
Romeo Scampini was delivered into the
custody of the court by Probation Officer
Charles Smith, as it developed that the
young man was on probation for sim
liar offense last fall. The order of pro-
baton was revoked, and the young man
was held to pay $50 fine and costs
accruing at the last prosecution. The
same procedure was followed in the case
of Jerry Burke, who participated in the
memorable expeditions in November.
Parents of Burke and Scampini objected
to paying the fines, and at noon it looked
as though the respondents would have to
serve the alternative sentences in the
house of correction at Rutland.
The police allege that Melanson, Diack,
Burke and Scampini took the Farnham
car from a spot where it had been parked !
In front of the Howland block, son of
the owner having withdrawn to a neigh |
boring dance hall while the motor cooled. |
Young Fsrnham reported his loss to the

ifterward the car was discovered at the
,ast end of Keith avenue with all lights
,ut According to stories told the police,
he boys drove to Jerues crossing and
,pent more than an hour on the road
before returning to the citv.

on which the New York Sun is printed
were so badly damaged last night by a
fire which started in the sub-cellar Of the
