SHIPS PROPELLER BROKEN WHEN SHE
 HITS SUBMARINE
Emerging Off Irish Coast Ger man Craft Is Bumped
 by Liner.

New York; une; 14-An American liner bumped into a Submarine off the Irish coast. It was accidental. In railroad parlance, the liner side swiped" the U boat, which apparently was emerging right alongside.
 Capt. Thomas G. Barman, master of the big American ship, could not have stopped her 12,S06 ton bulk if he had wanted to. The liner was making fifteen knots and the undersea boat was drawn against her hull. Not even a. jar was felt on deck. When the liner reached. an English port a diver found propeller blad broken off
 What happened to the submarine is left to the readers imagination. Capt. ,Barman did not assert he sank one. He only hit one. There are no precedents for judging a marine hap pening of this sort.
 But, this was not all of the liners tale Just before running over the U boat another submarine had been sighted three miles away on the port side. It approached, but submerged quickly.
 It was on May 19 that. the ship en- countered the first submarine Capt Barman swung the ship about to bring the stern gun into play, but the
 
 The lookout in the crows nest on the liner saw the other submarine. The stern gun crew stood by to fire, but they saw nothing. Those on the U boat could not have had time to fire a. torpedo.
 The vessel arrived at an American port yesterday afternoon and docked last night. Under orders of the In ternational Mercantile Marine Co. none of her crew was permitted to go ashore. ns
 A passenger arriving here from England on June brought story that the vessel had been attacked by to submarines. When he left Eng land the report there was that the U boats had fired four torpedoes at the liner, two of them past her bow and the two actually striking sgiancing blows, but this report was in error. 7

E, London, June 14-A Petrograd dis- patch to the Mail says there seems to be a reign of terror in Tsaritsyn, where separate republic has been declared and the town is entirely in the hands of the extremists. The dis patch says that the situation is seri- ous because Tsaritsyn is a great rail- road center and an important point for traffic on the NVolga river.
 Separate republics have also been declared in Kherson and Kirnanova but the situation is said not to be seri-. ,ous in either place.

 pany in instalIments at any time dur-
 ing the year.
 Two classes of bonds will be issued, coupons and registered, the lowest
 denomination of registered bonds be-
 ing one hundred dollars. The bonds
 are to mature in thirty years, and may
 be redeemed by the Government in fifteen years. They are to be. dated June 15, 1917, with interest payable semi annually on that date and De- cember 15, and will be convertible
 into bonds bearing higher rate of
 interest than 3h per cent. eff any sub-
 sequent series of bonds shall be issued

My heart is very full as I write this:- r.
 I can still feel the last pres sure of the arms of my dear ones around my neck.
 There is a little spot on the breast of my khaki where stray tear fell. It is still quite fresh.
 I am going away-to the front. The, call of my country our country come and I am answering it-heart and soul, and body.
 And so this is the last chance to talk to you-to you people of Bridgeport among whom I have lived. Whom ! havespassed and repassed upon the street so many times.
 Somehow you are all very near to me this day.
 Before I go away. I want you to listen to me, seriously and so- berly, for a moment.
 T think I can ask. that. And. l think that you will give your ears and your hearts.
 What I have to say is wrung from my very depths.
 It is about this LIBERTY LOAN. You know the details. This country our country, yours and mine-is undertaking to raise $2,OOO,oo0,0O0 by this is- sue of the Government bonds.
 Bridgeport is called upon to subscribe $5,OOO,000. This is her share ours.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-14

These bonds are in denomi- nations ranging from $50 to $1OO,OOO. Only go need be paid down. at first. The rest you can pay by installments. So you see all of us-even the very poorest can join in this great movement.
 I am glad, very glad, it is so arranged. I am quite sure that those of US not able to invest much would be very deeply hurt if we were denied the consola- tion and privilege of "doing our bit.''
 No matter how small a. part each of us can play. I know we want to pay that part the. limit of our ability, like Ameri- cans.
 This money is to take care of us-we soldiers who go to the front.
 If the sacrifices we who go, make, are to count-if we are to win in this war against the ruth less, blood -bathed Prussian auto tcracy-we must be supported by those who cannot ge.
 We must have money for guns, for ammunition, for food,, for clothing.
 Our lives, depend upon your dollars. And somehow I feel very sure that in this great need Bridgeport will not fail us.
 I know Bridgeport busy, bustling Bridgeport. Dynamic Bridgeport. Outsiders have sometimes called us 'smoney grabbers- s-intent alone upon individual gain.

'.This Is My Last Chance To Talk To You; I'm Going To The Front
(BY A voLUNTEER)

That may be the outward aspect of Bridgeport. But I am a Bridgeporter. I love Bridge port. I know her great heart, her unfathomable generosity.
 I know how quickly and in spiringly she is giving her men. Her dollars will not be given less lavishly. That is unthinkable.
 Of course every dollar invested in a LIBERTY LOAN BOND will pay you s5k1o interest. And they are exempt from taxa ton.
 But I verify believe that if Bridgeport were called upon to give this money out right-this s5.oo0. 0.ooo-instead of only to invest it in Government bonds, that she would do 1t gladly
 All that Bridgeport needs is to feel the money must thrust home to her heart And then her heart will open wide
 This need is serious-it is a. matter of life or death. There can be no middle course.
