Minds of the People mo
Battle Has Taken Place in
Which Americans Had a
Part.

Washington, June 9.-Persistant
and widely circulated false reports of
naval battles and disasters to Amer.-
can and entente forces have reached
the point where Secretary Daniels has
concluded they are the result Of or
gantzed conspiracy to alarm and dis
tress the American people: Today
the secretary issued the following
statement:
rumors Of battle and disaster that are
without the slightest foundation in
truth. Reports from the command
ants Of naval districts, kilograms from
newspapers and letters from individu-
ais have forced me to the conclusion
that there Is an organized conspiracy
> on foot to alarm and distress the peo-
pie of the United States.
"Among the most persistent Of the
false reports is one that a naval en-
gagement has taken place between
the German fleet and combined fleet
OF England and United States and In
that battle so English and American
ships were sunk or disabled, two of
the number being the Pennsylvania
and Texas.
"In elaboration of this falsehood
there is the alleged rumor that the
hospitals at the Atlantic coast naval
yafQS are Rlled with crippled sailors
and marines and that the various hos
pitfalls Of New York are equally crowd
ed with wounded men.
by way of circumstantiality 1t Is
being rumored widely that passen-
ger arriving on one Of the Holland
American line steamers has stated
that his vessel passed through the
battle area after the engagement and
that the sea was strewn with floating
bodies. All these outrageous falsities
are accompanied by explanation thai

spiracy with the press to keep the
truth from the people.

Dakota.

Bismarck. N. D., juno 9.-Reports
from four more counties received
since noon yesterday boost North Da-
kota's army draft registration to 55.-
$50, with seven counties to be heard
from. Four Of these seven with a
combined population Of $1,000. may
be expected to report 5000 registra-
tions while 1900 should come from
three smaller counties. which would
place the total registration in the
state at near $4,000. 1t is unlikely it
will run over $4,000. General Crow
der's estimate for North Dakota was
1000.
In commenting on this deficiency OF
10000, Adjutant General Tharalson
calls attention to the fact that at least
5000 young men who come within
the prescribed, ages have enlisted in

WOODEN SHIPS
NOT FEASIBLE.
SAYS CARLISLE
American Oak for Shipbuild.
ing not Adaptable Says
Expert Builder.

London, June s.-one Of the fore
most authorities on shipbuilding in
the world, a man who helped build
many of the German liners now in
termed in American ports. does not
look with favor upon the proposal Of
the United States to build wooden
ships to make up for the losses
is Alexander Carlisle, late general
manager of the shipbuilding firm Of
Harland and Wolff, Belfast, who is
widely known in America. The rea-
son he advances is that wooden ship
building is a lost art.
1.-The American oak" said Mr.. Car
lisle,' which is available for ship
building at the present time is better
adapted for collins than ships. The
past came from France, and can no
longer be obtained. 1t was light and
lent itself to the framing of the bilges
and the fore and aft bodies.
Steel Ships Less Work.
"Also. there is required greater
manual, effort to build wooden ships
than ships of steel or iron,f and there
are no men in Great Britain now
skilled in building ships Of wood: it
is q lost art. In the case Of wooden
ships, all is manual work, in truth.
whereas in iron and steel ships the
work Is largely done by machinery,
such as rollers, benderA punching
and shearing. From no point Of view
which have been able to adopt does
the construction Of wooden ships rec
ommend itself as a swift, commercial
measure of meeting the submarine
menace"
Because Of his intimate knowledge
Of the German liners in American
ports, Mr. Carlisle does not believe
they could be used as food carriers
without extensive alterations. 1.-THE
utility Of the German liners informed
in American ports Is another big
question:" added Mr.. Carlisle. II

est of them prior to 1910, 50 that /
have personal knowledge Of their
capacity and possibilities. I had also
the experience of crossing several

Interned German Ships Useless.
1.-THE majority are essentially pas
senger ships and not carriers. and de-
mand vast stores Of coal and an i'm
mense personnel for navigation from

They cannot be rendered torpedo

FRANCE NEEDS

Will be Enormous.

Paris, June 9.-(COrrespOndence -
France will require 11,60o.000.0Oo
her obligations and current expendi-
lures after the war. according to an
estimate Of the Finance Committee of
the Chamber of Deputies. OF this to-
tai, 1t is estimated that nearly half,
6,500,000,0O0 francs. will be needed
for normal appropriations including
interest on the national debt exisitiig
before the war. which. was about So

The remainder includes interest on

This total represents only the A.
It will be necessary to add to it 15Q,-
100000 francs for each month that
the war goes on thereafter. the war
expenditures now averaging 3,000,-

Thirty-five months Of war at the
end Of June will have cost about ST.

to allies. During the same time the
government receipts have averaged a.

The finance committee urges the
adoption Of the graduated income tax
as one Of the measures to provide the
revenue France will need. It is es-
timated that 1t will produce net gain
Of about 366.000.00O francs a year.

Butte, Mont, June 9.-With 35
known dead and 167 men missing
as the result of a fire which
broke out in the Spectator cop
per mine last night, Butte today
faced the worst mining disaster
in its history.
Officials said that if the 1877
missing miners are not found to
have made their way to the high
ore mine working, they are
doomed.
The fire which started on the
2,4oo foot level spread quickly,
cutting off the escape of men on

Warning of their danger came
soon enough to permit men on

the fire started.
John Cofenetten and John Boyce,
who were the first two men to be TAX

cheated them by cutting the air hose

The men who were working on the

All ambulances in Butte and all

Every safety first expert in the district
also has been summoned and 1t La es-
