US. DESTROYERS
EFFECTIVE IN SEA
PATROL WORK
Sailors Drink Tea and Travel
First Glass to Astonish-
ment of Natives

The British Port Base of the
American Flotilla, via London, June
THE American destroyers have
completed their first month of active
service in the great war. They have
been favored with excellent weather,
which is a big factor in antisub-
marine warfare.
Most of the time they have had
sunny skies and smooth seas, with
just enough squall and storm to put
their seamanship to test. The favor
able weather conditions made their
task of learning the technique of
antisubmarine warfar much simpler
and easier.
The American boats are assigned
to work hand-in- n-hand with the Brit
ish squadrons, being virtually assimi-
lated into the British naval machin-
cry here. A destroyer is usually out
four or five days and then returns to
port for two or three days, while
coaling and loading supplies. Thus
every American sailor gets at least
half day shore leave every week.
There has been no actual battle as
yet between an American destroyer
and the enemy, although several re-
ports show that U-boats have been
sighted and have been compelled to
beat a hasty retreat to the depths of
the sea.

Italy Declares Fronts
Are Being Held in Face
of Fresh Assaults
BY Associated Press

Udine, June Z - The Austrian
advance on the whole Carso front
shows that the enemy commander,
after repeated attacks in the Vodice
zone. thought it necessary to make a
supreme effort on his left wing,
where every Italian gain constitutes
double threat on Laibach and
Trieste. General Borsevio's assaults
failed entirely before the determined
resistance of the Italian troops, who
even made a further advance be-
tween Castagnavizza and Voicizza,
the tract dominating the Brestovizza
road. threatening the Hermada
stronghold. The modification of the
line in the center, south of Jamiano,
is due to the fact that the Austrian
artillery on Hermada could still
sweep the front of the new Italian
positions. The whole situation is
practically unchanged and the Aus
trian positions are still closely press
ed and menaced by the gains made
by the Italians in their last advance.

TAX COLLECTOR
BILL DEFEATED
House Votes Down the Bill to
Save Money For Dauphin
and York Counties

The Beidleman bill to establish a
receiver of taxes to save money for
the people of York and Dauphin
counties in collection of their taxes
went down to defeat in the House
last night by a slim vote. Mr.. Cook.
York. said the people of his county
lid not want the bill.
Both Messrs. Swartz and Black,
Dauphin, argued for the bill. Mr..
Black said it would save thousands
of dollars for this county and for
York and mean a great convenience
to the people. He said the plan
worked we'll in other counties and
cited as instances of the way money
would be saved that the Third ward
book in Harrisburg netted the col
lector $4,000 in 1916. Even these
figures could not save the bill.
The question of home rule was
raised in the debate. which ended
iE the defeat of the bill providing for
the creation of a division of state

ment of Labor and Industry with

ARE
TO BE ENJOINED
Must Collect Their Bills Be-
fore Physicians Get Their
Pay From Patients

The chiefs of the appropriations
committee decided last night to attach
a rider" to every bill carrying a hos
pital appropriation which would pre-
vent physicians in the institution
from collecting fees from patients
until the hospital bills were first paid.
It is, proposed to effect the reform
by tagging more than $50 hospital ap-
preparation bills with this proviso:
Provided, however, that no part of
the money herein appropriated shall
be available unless the said hospital
shall by resolution of its officers and
trustees prevent the charging of
wards by physicians for treatment
until such patients shall have paid
the full per diem cost of his main
tenance in said hospital"
1t is argued at the Capitol that the
State actually wastes hundreds of
thousands of dollars of its charitable
appropriations made every two years
from the fact that the patients who
really are able to pay for their treat
ment do not do so. Physicians con-
nected with hospitals. 1t is charged,
often exact payment for their own
services while the patient is not re-
quired to pay for his hospital treat
ment. THE State pays for that" is
the general feeling.
The proposal which has been made
is that the rider shall be first attached
to the bills in the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee. of which Clarence j.
Buckman of Bucks county is the
chairman. These bills. most of which
have been passed by the House, prob
ably will make their appearance on
the Senate calendar next week.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee to-day appointed a subcom-
mittee to hear objections by repre-
sentatives of theatrical interests to
the bill proposing a two per cent tax
on the gross receipts of travelling
theatrical companies giving perform
ances in the state. The theater man
ayers in the State say it really would
place an additional burden on them
since they would have to take the
tax for the companies out of their
own share of the receipts.

Work Wears on The Kidneys
Doan,s Kidney Pills Have Done Great

day in some strained, unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over a desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious homework; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the back
in hundred and one other ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of filtering the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills are for weak kidneys and
bad backs. Their effective work in
Baraboo is convincing proof of merit.
