ANTI TRUST SUITS
 ID BE RE-ARGUED
Decisions May Not Be Made for
 Year at Least

Washington, May 22.-Anti-trust sults against the United States Steel corporation. the International Har- Vester company, the United Shoe Ma cninery company, the Lehigh Valley ana Reading railroads and aniliated coai companies ('anthracite coal russ) were ordered reargued yes- .eroay by the supreme court. As the court will adjourn for the term on June II court officials said 1t would proDably be a year before decisions were rendered.
 ne announcement, made by Chief Justice White. apparently bears out recent reports that opinions in the big, anu trust suits would not be handed oown at least until the country could leauJusl itself to war time conditions.
 Ine steel Corporation suit was in- stltuted n 1911 in New Jersey and was dismissed by the district court TOUT years later. In 1t tho govern menu cnarges the corporation with controlling es approximately one-half of the general iron and steel industry of the country Dissolution of the cor poralion, as we'll as of the inner conn binations is asked. The cornoration in US brief admitted controlling about 4O per cent. of the domestic and about 90 per cent. Of the American export trade, but defended itself as a ':good" combination.
 Suit against the Harvester company was hled In the United States district court in Minnesota in 1912. It's dis solution was asked mainly on the ground of its size and inherent power. This corporation also contended that 1t IS a good" combination, but the lower court sustained the government and ordered dissolution. The case wac argued in the supreme court first in April. 1915, and reargued in March, 1917, because Of the resignation of Justice Hughes.
 Suit against the United Shoe Ma chinery company was filed In 1911 and the lower court dismissed the govern ment's petition. The suit had no connection with one brought in st. Louis by the government under the Clayton antitrust act.
 The two cases against the I.ehigh Valley railroad and the Reading rail- road charge them with, monopoaies ir anthracite coal along their lines. Both roads are accused not only of violat- ing the Sherman act but also of vio- lating the commodities clause. Tn both cases the government lost prac- tically asl contentious in the lower courts.
 The right of states to enact laws affecting the general and Federal mar itime laws as provided by congress was denied by the supreme court in an opinion holding that the New York workmen's compensation law, recent ly declared constitutional, does not apply to workmen injured while em- ployed on New York navigable wa ters.
 Considering our former opinions, 1t must now be accepted as settled doc- urine that in consequences of these provisions congress has paramount power to fix and determine the mari- time law which shall prevail through out the country" the opinion read. "And further. that in the absence of some controlling statute the general maritime law as accepted by the Fed eral courts constitutes part of our na-

\ < from loitering about in the vicinity of the outpost camps.
 According to a story told by the soldiers implicated, one of the Hart ford policemen has been on their trail for come time and since he had been prevented from walking down the railroad tracks at night by one Of the guards he had threatened to arrest as many of the boys as he could "get something on." It is said that the trouble started as the result of g. ''crap" game in which some of the soldiers arc said to have been engaged. It is also said that the policemen mem tioned girls lettering about the out post, but information from the sol- diers showed that at least one of the girls was 8 sister of 8 non-commis- stoned officer or duty there. Sergeant Queenin, although cited for contempt of court. Is not blamed by any of the soldiers. They state that the sergeant went to the court and, thinking that the proceedings were over. ordered the arrest of Private Grabeck and had him taken from the court room to the outpost camp. As a matter of fact court had not adjourned and the judge, 1t Is said, misunderstood the sergeant's motive. Soldiers hold the opinion that whatever they were doing within the precincts of their outpost camp was nothing of the affairs of the civil authorities and the latter had no right to invade the premises. Holding this view. they say they had the right to resist an in- vasion by the bluecoats.
 To Clamp Iid Down Hard.
 Recent episodes in the routine Of the Company E bdys has made the commanding officers decide to put the lid down hard on their actions and hereafter they will all be held to . strict accountability. AS a result of these disgraceful occurrences second Lieutenant Harris has been ordered to leave the armory barracks here on de- tached duty and will immediately assume complete charge of all Com pany E outposts scattered throughout this vicinity.
 The force of men under arms at the barracks was further depleted today when se1 eral squads, comprising about thirty-four men. were sent out to take charge of several new outposts. Al- though lieutenant Harris Is to. be in Greet charge, these new squads will be in the immediate charge of Ser geant Elsen and Sergeant Logan. The corporals in secondary charge are Corporals Ventres. Olsen, Suess and Barnes. The leaving of these details for outpost duty leaves but a dozen men under arms at the armory.

CHANCELLOR SHOWN
 UP BY ANzEIGER
Generals Not in Entire Sympathy
 With His Views

Copenhagen. via London, May 22.- Director Zimmerman of the Berlin Lokal Anseiger challenges, in his Monday article, Chancellor Won Beth mann-Hollweg's statement in the Reichstag that he and the military leaders were in full accord regarding war aims. Herr Zimmerman says that tho unity of views, according to his knowledge, applies only to .mil- ttary strategic aims. on which the chancellor has accepted the views of Hindenburg and von Ludendorff. the morally responsible generals. He de- nies that von Bethmann-Ho ollweg has any right to claim the generals as the champions of his views as to tho po- litical and economic aims of the war.
 The Lokal Anzeiger. since 1t passed into the hands of syndicate headed by captains of industry of the Rhine district and . former minister, whom Won Bethmann- Hollwes threw over- board. has ceased to be subservient government organ and is now in more or less consistent opposition to the chancellor
 x. Herr Nmmermann, in continuation of his criticism, questions the stabil- ity of the Bethmann bloc in the Reichstag and denies that . vote on the peace interpolation can be inter- preted as vote of confidence.
 Simultaneously the paper announces that von Hindenburg, answering g telegram of greeting from a Danzig group of avowed Pan-Germans and opponents of the chancellor, replied:
 II share your hopes for the future fulhilment of your wishes for the fu- ture of the fatherland." The original telegram emphasized the demand for . peace program corresponding to Germanyss sacri1ces.'' The reply will encourage the campaign against ths chancellor and supports director Zim- mermann's intimations that Won Beth Is not in complete ac. cord with the army chiefs.

 Soldiers Hold Or Police.
 Regarding the escapade in Hartford. stories told by local military men and by the Hartford authorities differ. The Hartford version places the blame directly on the New Britain l soldiers, while the story told by the latter puts the blame on the Hartford l bluecoats. Policeman Plant of the, Hartford force claims that yesterday l he went to the headquarters of the l detachment at Parlkville and was in- suited by Private Grabeck. who re- fused to tell him the name of the ! commanding sergeant. The police man further declares that Private Grabeck ordered him to leave the vicinity or he would shoot him. Leaving. only to return with Police Sergeant Rohan, Policeman Plant says that he was meet by Private insults and also threatened to use his Springfield rifle with telling effect.
 Later the two bluecoats met Grabeck in lunch room on Park street. Hart | ford, and when they attempted to l put him under arrest he pulled a gun and expressed g. determination to shoot Sergeant Rohan is said to 1 have taken the gun away from him. l The whole trouble resulted, 1t is said, because of an alleged "crap" game in which the soldiers were said to have | been interested

 blame for yesterdays trouble. Lieu tenant Griffin planes On1cer Plant and says that while his men may not be entirely blameless. a great deal of the fault appears to be that of the

SINK U-BOAT
Made a Hit Before the German
Could Get Into Action.
FIRST ACT OF WAR APRIL 19
Gun Sighted BY Lieutenant Bruce
Ware-captain Rice Tells OF
Encounter - U-Boat
Was Close.

London. - Captain Rice, Of the
American steamship Mongolia, which
has just arrived at a British port, told
how the Mongolia had fred the first
gun of the war for the United States
and sunk German submarine.
The submarine, Captain Rice said,
was about to attack the great liner in
British waters on April 10. He de-
clared there was absolutely no doubt
that the U-boat was hit and that there
was every reason to believe it was
destroyed
The naval gunners on board the
Mongolia made clean hit at 1000
yards. The periscope was seen to be
shattered
The gunners are under command of
Lieut.. Bruce Ware, U. S. n, who
sighted the gun from which the shot
was fired.
Even more pertinent a fact, as re-
CARDS the ultimate fate of the sub
marine, was that the shell disappeared
Immediately after the hit was made.
The captain stated-that a shell always
ricochets on the waters and can be
seen again unless it finds the mark.
Oil also was seen on the water after
the submarine disappeared
The Mongolia was going at full
speed and was a long distance away
when the spray and foam subsidized,
but from the bridge the officers OBJ
served the spot through their glasses,
and they are confident the submarine
was sunk.
The periscope was sighted dead
ahead Oh the last afternoon Of the
voyage. The captain gave the order
for full speed ahead with the inten-
ton of ramming the submarine. The
periscope disappeared and a few
moments later reappeared on the
ships broadside. The gunners fired
hitting the periscope squarely and
throwing mountain of water
Captain Rice outlined the incident
with modesty, but could not quite
conceal the pride he felt in the
achievement of his ship. He paid a
high tribute to the gunners and
especially to the manner in which
they were handled by the officer who
directed the firing Of the telling shot.

s400,000,000 FOR
ALL|ESEACH MONTH
To Aid in Supplying Armies With
Supplies.
BIGGEST SUM FOR BRITAIN
All To Be Expended In This Country.
McAdoo Contemplating Addi-
tionaI Issues OF Treas-
ury Certificates.

Washington. - Preliminary reports
to the Treasury Department, upon
which Secretary McAdoo will base his
recommendations to the President as
to the size of the first bond issue
under the $1,000, 100000 war finance
law, indicate that the United States
will be called upon to finance the
Allies to the extent of at least $780,
00O,0 and possibly s500.000.000 a
month
Biggest Sum For Britain.
The tentative program also calls for
the expenditure Of virtually every dol
lar of the borrowed money in this
country fer feedstuffs, munitions, coal.
clothing, railway equipment and other
supplies.
The estimates, still incomplete and
subject to revision, indicate the fol-
lowing Entente needs:
For Great Britain, $200,000,000 TO
$3.50, 00,000 a month; for France, from
$100,0c0,Co0 to $125,OOO,000; for Rus
sia, sum undetermined, but up to
$100,000,060 month, depending large
ly upon the ability of manufacturing
plants in this country to meet her de-
mands, mostly for supplies other than
foodstufs and munitions; for Italy,
about $50,000,000 a month.
May Pare Estimates.
Should these requirements be met
in their entirety, the $3,000,0G0, COO
available for lending the Allies would
be exhausted in from six to seven and
one-half months. 1t is likely, however,
that the preliminary estimates can be
pared down to point where, without
omitting essentials, the huge loan
could be made to cover requirements
for a much longer period OF time, pos
sibly for one year.
Indications were not lacking that
Mr.. McAdoo would consider favorably
the suggestion that he offer soon an
other block of Treasury certificates
to the banks Of the country through
the Federal Reserve Banks. The sec
ond offering, it was said, probably
would be the same size as the first
$3.50, 900 000-and might be offered
within 10 days. Should the Govern
ment decide to finance the Allies to
the extent of $5OO,0oO,00O month ap-
proximately $1,0OO,0Oo,O00 would be
needed to meet requirements prior to
June 80, the date upon which the first
proceeds Of the bond issue probably
will be available.
Withdrawing money from the mar
kets at the rate of $3.50, 100000 every
two or three weeks by the issues of
blocks of certificates, officials believe,
would be preferable to a sudden call
for proceeds of a $4,000. 100000 bond
ISSUE Thus should $1,000, ,00o,000 in
certificates be issued prior to June 80
half of s2,O00,000,OO bond issue will
virtually have been withdrawn from
the money markets prior to its issue,
as the certificates carry the conver-
tsion privilege and doubtless would be
exchanged for bonds.
In this manner, it is thought, the
banks Of the country will be in q
strong position to meet the strain of
war financing and minimum disturb
ance of financial conditions would re-
suit.
