U. s, BOAT FIRES
UPON SUBMARINE

New York, May 9.-An armed
American steamship liner which ar
rived here tonight from an European
port reported that her crew fired six
shots at a German submarine off the
coast of Ireland on May ?. The under
sea boat Immediately submerged and
it was impossible to determine
whether any of the shots took effect.
The periscope of the submarine was
sighted about y. M, and the Ameri-
can vessel Immediately swung around
to afford the gunners an opportunity
for accurate aim. The undersea craft
disappeared simultaneously with the
firing of the first shot, it was said, and
did not reappear The American ship
then put on full speed and proceeded
on her course. The American liner had
on board 30 first, % second and "a
third class passengers.

WILL SUPPORT
WILSON'S SHIP
BUILDING PLAN
Billion Dollar Program Has
Approval of Leaders of
Both Parties.

Washington, May 9.--Lcadcrs Of both
with President Wilson today promised
to support the administ ia tion's billion
dollar ship building program. Bills
will be introduced Immediately to give
the shipping board s5O0,0oo,o0o for
construction of great steel and wood
en- cargo fleet to run the German un-
dcrsca blockade and the remainder of
the money will be appropriated when-
ever needed.
1.-THE billion dollars asked for ship
building" said Chairman Denman of
the shipping board after the confer
ence, may be far below the amount
we shall have to spend for ships before
the war is over"
The shipping measure will be COM
pleted within a, few days. They would
empower the government to take over
ship yards and the output of steel
mills if necessary, but the administra-
have to be exercised.
The shipping board plans to clear
ship yards of construction actually un-
der way, then to let contracts for
standardized steel cargo vessels, all
built alike and of a design permitting
a minimum time for completion.
Building operations will be under d-
rection of Major General George w.
Goethals, manager of the boards
emergency ship corporation. who also
has charge of the wooden ship build
ing program The present corporation
will let contracts for the steel ships
also. The board is empowered to op-
crate ships itself or to charter or lease
them, and 1t probably will charter both
steel and wooden vessels to private
concerns for operation.

Veterinarian and Physician
Disagree as to Cause
of Sickness.
LAW IS DISREGARDED
ACCORDING TO WARD
County Health Officer Says
Statements Are With
out Grounds.

Is Missoula's milk supply contami-
mated? Is this contamination in any
way responsible for the cases Of scarlet
fever and measles which have been
making their app earance in the city?
DR.. James r. Ward, veterinarian, ap-
peared before the city council this
week and stated that the milk supply
was not beirg guarded as closely as it
should be and that much of the con-
tagious disease in Missoula could be
traced to this source. Dr. J. j. Flynn,
county health officer declares that the
charge is ridiculaus; that the dairies
are inspected ana that the milk sup
ply could not be the cause of the dis
eases mentioned.
Mayor Wilkinson says that as the
work of inspecting the dairies is that
OF the county, he is unfamiliar with
their condition, but understands they
have been inspected regularly. AS re-
CARDS examination of the products of
these dairies he says that the council
has decided to require the ordinance
TO be lived up to in this regard.
No Reports Made.
Il do not know whether the city
physician has been making these ex-
aminations regularly or not" said
Mayor Wilkinson. Il know that the
reports have not been filed in the city
hall, although the ordinance provides
for this. The city council will insist
III the fu ,ure that these examinations
De made monthly and that the reports
be placed on file where everyone can
have access to them. The actual test
ing of the milk supply is up to the
CITY, My understanding has been that
in the past the city and county have
co-operated on this work. DR.. Z. G.
