 DESTROYER AMONG MISSING
Associated Press)

LONDON, Nov 21-Germany is making a last desperate effort to defeat the allied antl-Submarine cam paign, according to the announce ment of the British admiralty. Dur
 ing the past week the submarine losses mounted higher than for sev- eral weeks immediately preceding.
 The list of British merchantmen sunk during the past seven days, published tonight by the admiralty, shows that seventeen vessels were destroyed. Ten of these were listed at more than 1,600 tons and seven under that amount. A much greater number of the U-boats are said to have been engaged in the attempted blockade during the past week, and desperate chances have been taken by the submarines in sinking sever al of the vessels.

UNTIL END OF
 WAR POPE MAY
 VISIT ALFONSO
Associated Press)


 ROME. Nov. 21.-There is q prob ability that the pope will depart from the vatican in the near future to visit Spain as the guest of King Alfonso until the end of the war Preliminary correspondence for this arrangement is reported to have been carried on between the pope's seere tary and the king of Spain and that arrangements are being perfected for the proposed visit
 The reason for the visit is said to be the desire of the pope to bc able to view the struggle from a perfectly impartial standpoint. It i& said that there is some difficulty In his taking the attitude toward the war which he desires on account of being a resident of a belligerent country.
 He believes that he can more ef feCtiyely work for peace from Spain than he has been able to do from Italy and that his influence will b" made greater among the Teutontc peoples by addressing them from a neutral country.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 21.- Senator Gilbert Hitchcock, of Ne braska, member of the senate com mittee on foreign relations, stated today that the question of the United States declaring war on the allies of Germany will be discussed by congress immediately after it con venes early next month. There is much likelihood that war will be declared
 Many reasons have been advanced for such move on the part of the United States. The Turkish outrages on American citizens in the near east, and her atrocities on the na- tive Christians have much to do with the sentiment against her. The Itali- an situation is also another factor in the proposed step. Bulgarian massacres of non-combatants and her trafficking in Serbian girls and wo- men has produced a strong senti-

GERMAN EXODUS YESTERDAY EVE
 IN WASHINGTON

 ! WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. 2i.- . Thousands of Germans have been leaving this city throughout the day destined for different parts ol the country. All trains leaving the city are crowded with unnaturallzed Ger IAans wno have recently moved here. Alter midnight tonight every un- natIlaHzed German remaining in the 1 District of Columbia who has come 1 here s.nce the beginning Of the war between the United States and Ger many will be arrested and placed n Iuternment camps until the end oI the War.

 All day there has been a great rush of Germans upon the courts to ascertain their status. Mauy of them claimed naturalization which could not be substantiated by the court records. It is believed that hundreds of German agents who have been in Washington since the declaration of war left the city to day. Others are possibly endeayor- ing to stay in the hope of eyading detection and arrest. The depart ment of justice is keeping watch on numbers of suspects. and if they do not leave by midnight they will be ! immediately taken in charge as spies.

ITALY WILL BE;
 SAVED; ALLIES
 LIFT PRESSURE
Associated TryssJ


 NASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov 2l.- Amerlcan army officers and mli. tary experts are of the opinion that the pressure ot the Teutonic for ,ea in Italy will be relieved by com Dlneu action on the part of the al .ils and that tie Teutons will be forced to abandon their Italian cam paign. They realize the seriousness of the situation, but think that the allies are prepared to frustrate thD aims of he central powers.
 The pressure will be relieved in two ways, it is believed The first of these is the otfensives which were launched today on the western front by both the British and French fore es. These offensives will have the effect of diverting troops intended for use in the Italian campaign into France in order to prevent linden burg's line from being shattered in many places.
 The other will be by rushing rein forcements to the Italian front. It is believed that large numbers of both British and French infantrymen with heavy artillery trains are al ready enroute to the aid of the ltali- ans, and that their weight will be 1t within a very short time.
