MANY DIE ON u. S. SHIP
TANKER PETROLITE DESTROYED
BY GERMAN U-RoAT.
One Boatload of Survivors Reaches
Shore and Two Are Missing
Second Attack on Vessel.

Washington, June 13.-The Ameri-
can steamer Petroute has been sent to
the bottom by a German submarine.
The state department was advised
of the sinking of the steamer IN a con-
sular telegram received here. The de-
partment has discontinued making pub
lie dates and locations Of disasters to
American vessels.
The Petrolite was a tank steamer
with a gross tonnage of 3,27O. The YES
sci was constructed in Bredow, Ger
many, and was registered from New
York.
One bOatlOad Of survivors has been
landed, the consular telegram said
and two boats are missing.
The boat that reached shore was in
command of the third mate Of the
petrolite. 1t contained the chief en-
gineer and Is men of the crew. How
many men were in the two missing
boats was not known to the consul who
reported the disaster.
The Petrolite had been until q few
weeks ago the subject of lengthy cor
respOndence between the United States
government and Austria.
On December 5, 1915, the Petrolite
was attacked by a submarine In the
Mediterranean. The identity of the
submarine was never discovered, al
though 1t was believed to have been an
Austrian subsea fighter. The subma-
r1ne fired upon the PetrOlite and the
vessel was damaged but continued on
her way. Nils Larson, a seaman, was
wounded. Up to the tinfe of the diplo-
matte break many notes concerning the
attack on the Petrolite had been ex-
changed between this government and
Austria.
Cadiz, Spain, June 13-The Span
fish torpedo boat No. discovered the
German submarine U-52 disabled from
gun shots which had struck it's engines
The submarine was towed into Cadiz
and stripped of it's wireless apparatus
so that it could not communicate with
vessels of the central powers interned
in this port
Repairs to the German submarine
will take at least two days, but 1t is
believed the vessel will be interned.

Conservation

It's rapidly dawning upon every
household in this country that the de-
mands by the government are going
to be great If the war with Ger
many last two or three years, every
person must practice economy in ev-
cry necessity that is required. There
is no question but what the people of
this country having been very pros
porous and naturally got into extra
VACANT ways. There are many things
that every family in the United States
could get along without and cut down
their expenses, we mean living ex-
penses, at least one-third of what they
are today. If every family will do
this, that saving will support all the
expenses of the war and aid greatly
in bringing the war to a close. Is it
worth the sacrifice? We think every
body will agree with US that it is alb
solutely necessary. Then the sooner
each Individual and family practice
that economy just so much more, are
we likely to aid this country to win
the war. This same principle of pre-
paration by the planting of larger
crops and saving Of your resources in
converting them into other channels
is what is going to develop the best
that there is in US, because we are go
ing to learn the lessons of economy
and practice them. The extravaganza
prevalent in all American homes is
true, and the families will be better
for the practice of economy within its
own limits. Let everybody practice
economy the balance of this year and
our store houses, banks, and business
places will be filled with prosperity
and success. Save your money and
place it into Liberty Bonds and other
avenues that will help your country
protect itself from the world at large.
We are privileged to live in a great
age. The modern methods of living
are luxurious and where they are full
~ enjoyed often times they are not
fully appreciated. Reader, are you one
of them? If so, right about face, and
place your surplus in bonds to help
your government.
It is a pleasure to know that we live
in the United States of America
where liberty, peace, and comforts
of civilization are enjoyed to their full
est extent. To whom are we RESPONSE
bic for all these privileges? Is it not
due to the practical, efficient, and sue
cessful, republican form of govern

KEEP On
BUILDING
About that improvement you are

About that improvement you are
planning.
Why not go ahead with it?
Every reason in the world says you
should.
At no period in our history have
We tec1 so sure Of the future The
eastern worlds stomach is feeling the
pinch of hunger, and it's demands on
the products of Americas broad acres
and American industries are growing
with every passing hour. A great
market is opening wider and wider.
Honest and fair profits in all lines of
legitimate effort are certain.
There should be no curtailment in
building and road construction. Let
both public and private useful con-
struction proceed. Production and
handling of building materials and
public and private construction work
are fundamental industries of the
country. Any tendency to suspend or
postpone building projects is inconsis-
tent with maintaining our prosperity.
The country is prosperous. Building
investors should not hesitate to go
ahead with their plans. Railroads
should spare no effort to supply the
building industry with the cars need
ed to transport materials. Govern
ment, state, county and municipal au-
thorities should encourage the contin-
uance of all kinds of building. Road
and street improvements in particu-
lar should go on undated. Bad roads
and streets are factors of first impor-
lance in the present high cost of food
stuffs. Never before was the improve
ment of highways SO essential.
The lumber, brick, cement, lime,
sand, gravel, stone and other build
ing materials industries are basic.
Neither Government regulations nor
railroad restrictions should be impos-
ed unnecessarily to interfere with
them. If any action is taken which
results in the prostration of so funda-
mentally important industries, there
is real danger of surplus of unem-
ployed labor, a surplus of railroad cars
and a Gripping of business that will
seriously embarrass the Government
in financing the war.
The right thing to do is to keep on
building.

n the total c0fnDenSa lion that

me- n the total c0m1DenSa ton that
would be paid under the present law
by approximately 1914 per cent. The
amount of increases provided has been
calculated by statisticians on the losses
paid during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1916. During that year en-
plOyers paid out under the Wisconsin
law S93S,774. If all of the provisions
of the proposed law are accepted this
would be increased to S1,057. 900, as
Stunning the same number of employees
and the same number of accidents.
There will be an increase in the num-
Der of employees, so the actual in
crease will be somewhat more.
Some of the changes proposed are:
Removal of the limitation of so days
for hospital and medical care, leaving
the question to the judgment of the in
dustrial. commission. This change is
calculated to call for an additional
payment, based on last years expert
ence of $4,000, or about s. per cent in
crease over the total amount paid.
Provides for the introduction of the
sliding scale instead of the fixed maxi
mum and minimum wage allowances
on which compensation is based. IN
der the present law 65 per cent of the
average weekly wage is paid for a spe-
cited number Of weeks for various in
iuries. The minimum wage on which
compensation is now based Is $3.50.
and the maximum SIS weekly. The
sliding scale proposes 20 per cent for
a person not receiving to exceed S7.2O
weekly; SO per cent for those receiv-
ing between $7.21 and $7.8O.
