Stampalia Sunk While in Service of Government Used to Ply Between New York and Italian Ports , Recently Gave Up Pas senger Service.
London, Aug. 19-The Ital- ian steamship Stampalia, which plies between New York and Italian ports, has been sunk, says a despatch to Lloyds.

The Stampalia was a passenger liner of 5000 tons gross. In common with other Italian liners she mounted guns for protection from submarines. The last report of her movements was her arrival on July 30 at Genoa from New York, so that apparently she was United States. She was commanded by Captain Lavarello.
 The Stampalia has accommodations for about 1.500 persons. On her re- cent voyages from Italy to the United States passenger traffic has been light and the agents in New York of the line said today she probably carried a comparatively small number of pas sengers. Her crew numbered about ITO.
 Arriving at New York on March "A, the Stampalia reported that a wire less warning had been received soon after leaving Genoa that a submarine was lying in wait for her off Sardinia. Instead of going north of Sardinia and along the north shore of the Med iterranean which before that time had proved the safest route she went south of Sardinia and through the Straits of Bonifacio, between Sardinia and Corsica.
 Several armed Italian steamships have reported sighting submarines in the Mediterranean and in some in- stances being pursued by them and firing on them. When the Italian steamship Re D'Italia arrived at New York from Genoa recently her cap tain reported she had fired on sub- marines in the Mediterranean. The steamship was pursued for seven hours and her passengers said they believed one of the submarines had been sunk.
 There has been some increase re- gently in submarine activity. The naval expert of the Paris Temps wrote on Thursday that the German cam- paign of submarines against merchant ships was again in full swing, in &C., cordance with the German note to the United States in February in which it was said merchant ships carrying guns could not be considered as peasemul ships.
 The Stampalia was built at Spezia in 1909 and was owned at Genoa.
 The New York agents for the Stam- palia said today that two weeks ago they had received a cable message ad- yising them that all sailings of the steamship had been cancelled. They express the opinion, on this account. that the Stampalia had been requisi- toned and was in the service of the Italian government. In this case she would have no passengers on board.

Washington Believes Major General Has Recommend ed That Troopers Over Boundary Be Recalled on Ground That at Present They Serve No Useful Purpose.
Bliss Confers With Presi- 4 dent Wilson on His Re-
 turn From Visit to Gen eral Pershing's Lines Prepares Report on Mobi-
 lization of the National
 Guard.

Washington, Aug. 19-While Secretary Baker and other war department officials refused to confirm or deny reports that Major General Funston has recommended immediate with drawal of General Pershing's expedition from Mexico, there were indications today that such a message had been re- ceived.
 Major General Bliss, assistant chief of staff. who returned yesterday from the border. conferred several days with General Funston and also went to General PeYshing's lines in Mexico. Secretary Baker conferred with Gen. eral Bliss yesterday and later saw President Wilson.
 General Bliss is preparing report on the mobilization of the National Guard. and 1t is considered possible he may have joined General Funston in urging that the troops be withdrawn from Mexico, as the consensus of mil- ftary opinion appears to be that they are serving no useful purpose as at
 Withdrawal of the Troops is the first subject to be taken up by the Joint International commission.

according to wireless reports to army headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, the only means of communicating with that city. The message stated how ever, another storm was reported ap- preaching from an easterly direction.
 The storm played havoc among the army camps. Fully 30,00O national guardsmen and regular soldiers were asleep in buildings at Brownsville last night, it was stated, because theft camps were destroyed by the wind or flooded with water from a four and one-haf inch rain.
 Last reports from Corpus Christi stated the storm had carried almost everything before it, leaving in its wake dozens of demolished summer cottages and doing thousands of dol lars of damage in the business sec- ton. Other important places isolated by the hurricane included Kingsville, Sinton. Beeville, Harlingen and Alice.
 Port Lavaca reported a sixty mile wind with a six foot rise in the tide but little damage. The roof of a hotel was blown off and a motion picture theatre destroyed at Fort O'Connor but the inhabitants had ample warning and reached places of safety before the storm struck.
 Governor Dunn, of Illinois, who had been inspecting the Illinois guards mems camps in the Brownsville dis trict, left Brownsville for his home and apparently is marooned on train somewhere between Brownsville and Houston.
 Telephonic communication was es- tablished this morning between Sinton and San Antonio. A train left Sinton at o'clock for Corpus Christi, 30 miles away.
 The local telephone company had no wires to Cropus Christi but said reports received at Sinton indicated that while the damage was quite heavy there had been little or no loss of life in the coast resort.

BARGAIN DAYS
 IN PATRIOTISM
 HERALDED HERE
Clubmen Organize Corpora tion to Sell Certificates of
 Loyalty at $1 Per.

The price of ice may be going up but the price of patriotism is going pouth in the direction of rock bottom. For one thin dollar you may step up to the box office and become a mem- Der of the Loyal League of America. For the lonesome cartwhee1 you get m engraved certificate on which are 'portraits of Washington and Lincoln with special design setting forth the principles of true Americanism."
 Henry s. Osborne. one of the best billiard players at the Algonquin club. Is an incorporator of the league and DO is James A. Brierley, another All gonqVin bon vivant. The third pa- triot is Samuel Tucker of Perth Am boy, N., J.
 When seen today one of the organ Izers gave this modest version of. the new leagues activities:
 "The organizers of The Loyal
 League of America are Bridgeport
 men, who take the credit of being
 the first citizens in America to
 realize the fact that the founders
 of this Republic and all American
 born citizens who have been and
 are living under the protection of
 the Stars and Stripes, have never

 citizenship, or a pledge of loyalty setting forth the principles of true
 Americanism.
 The foreign-born citizen has his
 naturalization papers; the Ameri-
 can-born has no evidence in his
 possession. The founders of this
 league realize the important part
 that documents of this character
 have played in fostering the spirit
 of loyalty among the citizens of foreign countries, whose govern
 ments have furnished them to
 their subjects"
 In addition to the certificate the faithful patriots will receive for their dollar a pledge of loyalty in which ap- pears such well known sentiments as government of the people, by the people and for the peop'- shall not perish from the earth"
 The promoters declare one of the newly enrolled members went so far as to say that "at last we have some thing in the home to whose powerful silent influence will have lasting ef- fetc for good on our children"
 The rentlemanly ushers will now pass among you with certificates. Ev- erybody hold his own dollar until the aime comes to give 1t up.
