WILSON ORDERS FOOD
 BILLS TO BE PASSED
Wants Power to Regulate Food Prices at Once-Desires Lever Bills Be Made Law Before July 1.

Washington, June 15.-President Wilson today served notice on Con- gress that action must be taken at once on the Lever food bills. which will give him power to regulate food prices.
 The president considers the food bills the most important legislation now pending and has decided that, if necessary, he will go before Congress and demand the passage of the bills at once. He considers it of prime im- portance that they be made law be- fore July 1, as the harvesting season already is beginning in some sections and with two weeks more leeway the speculator will have time to buy up foodstuffs and put prices at exorbi- tant figures.
 The presidents determination to push the food bills through became known today after a conference with Senator Martin, majority leader. The president has talked with both Re publican and Democratic leaders with in the last few days, but has not ob- tained the results he had hoped for.
 Senator Martin declined to say what conclusions were reached, but it became known that the president had taken determined stand and that the administration leaders will use whip and spur to get the food legisla- tion passed.
 There has been strong opposition in

AMERICAN SHIP SUNK;
 FOUR LIVES ARE LOST
Tank Steamer Loses Battle with Submarine-Splendid Resist ance Elicits Praise From U- Boat Commander.

Washington, June 15.-The Ameri- can tank steamer Moreni was sunk by a German submarine June 12 after a running fight of two hours. Four of the crew lost their lives.
 An oiler, Edward Cunningham of Brooklyn was drowned while escaping to boat. Wireless Operator c. Cur ran, Jr., of New York died of heart failure in the lifeboat, and one sea- man, E. Moustner, was injured by gunfire and died in a lifeboat. Fire man A. Geisen also died of wounds. These last two were treated by the surgeon of the submarine.
 The story is told in this statement by the State Department:
 "The Department of State is in- formed of the sinking of the Ameri- can tank steamer Moreni about 6 o'clock on the morning of June 12 after a two-hour running fight with a German submarine.
 "The German submarine captain congratulated the American captain upon the splendid fight he had made.
 Half an hour after the vessel was sunk the crew was picked up by a passing steamer. Forty-three of the original crew of AT were landed. Six of these were slightly hurt and placed in a hospital. All the gunners were

Startling Coincidence in Dates Connected With Lives of Rul- CTS of Entente NatiOns-Pres- ident Wilson in List.

Maybe the war will end in 1917. President Wilson was born in 1856, took office in 1913, has been in office four years, and has liven 61 years. All these figures total 1884. One half of 1884 is 1917. But there is the startling fact pointed out by the Pittsburgh Times: Similar dates in the lives of European and Japanese rulers of the allies gives the same sum. Thus: President of Ernnnn ,,rnr

OFFICIALS SWAMPED
 WITH LANDSLIDE
Most Sanguine Hopes of Treas ury Officials OutdOne-SmalI Investors Money Poured Into Lean Golfers on Last Day.

Washington, June 15.-The Ameri- can people have responded to the governments call for funds to finance the war with an oversubscription to the $2,000,000,000 Liberty loan of proportions so huge that officials are buried beneath a landslide of untabu- lated returns.
 No man could say at 10 o'clock to- night how great had been the nations answer. Apparently it was over whelming beyond the sanguine hopes of treasury officials, though not one of the 12 federal reserve banks. re- gional headquarters of the loan, could hazard more than an estimate of it's total
 In the country's ringing answer to the call the dominant note was the voice of the small investor. His money talked this last day of the campaign in eloquent terms. The hope for a widespread response of the average man with the average in- come was more than realized in the multitudes htat flocked to the banks today. It appeared tonight that all previous estimates had gone by the boards and that nearly 3,00O,00O men and women had bought their bonds.
 In the absence of official figures of the returns officials hesitated to pre- dict how high the total would soar. It mounted every hour to new heights and assumed such proportions that thre was an apparent inclination to accept with some allowances the rosy estimates of local Liberty loan com- mittees as to the totals of their dis tricts.
 At the treasury note of conserva- tism was sounded concerning these estimates. It was feared that the committees, flushed with success, might be overoptimistic and there was a manifest unwillingness to ac- cept as final any estimates unverifed by actual tabulations.

 The vessel was first fired upon from an estimated distance of 5000 yards at 4 o'clock. The steamer, which was armed and carried a gun crew, returned the shots and attempt ed to escape. There was a light breeze and smooth sea. The subma- rine was hardly visible. After 150 shots in reply to some 200 shots fired by the submarine, the crew abandon ed the vessel, which was all ablaze, taking to the life boats in fiery sea-
