London-Russian naval officials
blew up their four American submar-
ines before retreating from Hango, in
southwestern Finland, announces Brit
ish admiralty.
Seven British submarines also were
destroyed when the German naval
forces and transports approached
Hango. None of the British vessels
fell into the hands Of the enemy, says
the admiralty.
The admiralty says the project of
blocking the harbor by sinking ships
in 1t had been rejected by the Rus
sian admiral commanding.
The effect of the destruction of the
British submarines upon the crews
OF merchant vessels was, however, the
statement says, excellent and included
the destruction of many ships which
would otherwise have fallen into the
hands of the enemy.

THREE KINDS OF GENTLEMEN
Are Made by Inhabitants of the
Emerald Island.

Ireland is the only country in which
1t has ever been customary to classify
gentlemen as of three distinct kinds or
species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized to some extenut in the En-
erald isle, but two centuries ago, and
even much later, they were defined
respectively as (one) the "half-mOunt-
ed" (two) the gentleman every inch
of him." and (three) the gentleman to
the backbone"
The first class consisted of descend
ants of Cromwell's soldiers, who, If
they could ride well, were called
"Buckskin Breeches," or "Squireens."
The second class was composed Of
descendants of old families whose es-
tates had been forfeited to the crown
(for rebellion or other reasons), and
who had been compelled to lower them
selves by working for q living, in trade
or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen to
the backbone"-comprised the old
stock, or folks who lived on the ancient
family estates and the labor of the
peasantry pertaining to their domains.

GERMANY AND SWISS IN CRISIS
chief Issue Is Shipment Of Coal;
Germans Want $40 and $44 Per Ton.

Paris.-An intense crisis has arisen
between Germany and Switzerland,
similar to the recent Dutch issue. The
chief issue is the shipment Of coal. A
large section of the Swiss press is bit.
ter in its comments on the extortion-
ate German demands, considering
them preparatory to reducing the re-
public to German vassal state.
Following the German threat to stop
sending coal to Switzerland altogether,
directors of Swiss federated railroads
demanded the return OF 1000 Swiss
freight cars now in Germany. The
Germans are holding these cars as a
means of pressure.
France has offered to furnish
Switzerland $4,000 tons of coal
monthly, but Switzerland must fur.
nish the cars. Germany proposes
that Switzerland take only $4,000 tons
monthly from France and guarantee to
take all that Germany supplies at be-
tween $40 and $44 per ton. II the
Swiss refuse, Germany threatens to
stop all shipments.
This situation opens a prospect of
intense suffering in Switzerland, espe-
ctally among the poor during the com.
ing winter.

BANDITS KILL DETECTIVE
Desperados Make Good Their Escape
After Terrific Gun Battle.

Detroit One Michigan Central
detective was killed, another was
so severely wounded that he
will die and two more were
seriously shot In a pitched battle
with auto tire thieves in the Dearborn
yards, near Dearborn road on May 16.
The railroad agents, who were lying
in wait for men who have been pilfer-
ing Michigan Central cars with in
creasing regularity, were shot with
out warning. Four were laid low in
the first fusilade of bullets, and the
remaining three of the party gave bat
tie.
One of the railroad sleuths is said
to have turned on his electric fash
light just as the thieves were cautious
ly making their way to the spot.
The desperados saw the flash and
at once opened fire.
Leaving their four wounded COM
rades where they lay, the other three
detectives gave chase to the thieves,
firing volleys after them. They are
believed to have escaped uninjured
in the darkness.
An employee of the Michigan Central
reported to the company that he had
discovered about $4,000 worth of au-
tomobile tires that had been stolen
from Michigan Central cars concealed
in a clump of bushes near Woodmere
cemetery and the railroad crossing.

MANY COUNTIES OVER THE-T0P
Stood Ready to Send Checks Before
Red Cross Drive Started.

Lansing-More than 20 counties in
Michigan-or approximately 25 per
cent of the state-stand ready to
"shoot in" and "over-the-top" checks
for their entire assessment for the
coming Red Cross drive.
These counties have all adopted the
war chest" program and have already
raised their funds for this year. All
they need do to make good their quota
for the big $100,o00,000 drive, is to
send the check to state headquarters.
Schoolcraft county, which secured
more Red Cross members than there
was population, according to the 1910
census, was so anxious to be known
as first in" that a telegram was sent
May 16 by the county board to Cam
paign Director Mark T. Mckee, of De-
troit, saying that Schoolcraft county's
check for it's $4,000 quota was drawn.
Director Mckee, however, wired back
that no announcements must be made
before May Is.
II is expected at state headquarters
that 20 counties will report their full
quota raised before the drive started
With this as start, it is expected to
put the entire SO in the state over
before the week is over. The state
committee and Governor Sleeper are
extremely anxious that this be done
and State Director Mckee declares
that nothing can stop that accomplish
ment.

Dublin-A proclamation issued
May IL says a German plot in Ireland
has been discovered. In the proclama-
ton the viceroy calls upon all loyal
Irishmen to defeat the conspiracy.
The proclamation of the lord lieu
tenant says:
Whereas, 1t has come to our
knowledge certain subjects of his
majesty, the king, domiciled in Ire
land, have cinspired TO enter and
have entered into reasonable COM
munication with the German enemy,
and,
Whereas, such treachery is a
menace TO the fair name of Ireland
and its glorious military record, a
record which is a source OF intense
pride to a country whose sons al
ways distinguished themselves and
fought with such heroic valor in the
same way as thousands OF them now
are fighting in this war.
"And, whereas, drastic measures
must be taken to put down this Ger.
man plot, which means will be solely
directed against that plot:
Nov, therefore, we, the lord
lieutenant OF Ireland and governor
general OF Ireland, have thought fit to
issue this proclamation declaring as
follows:
THAT, it is the duty Of all loyal SUBJ
jects of his majesty to assist in every
way his majestys government in Ire
land to suppress this reasonable con-
spiracy and to defeat the treacherous
attempt Of Germany to defame the
honor of Irishmen for it's ends.
THAT we hereby call upon all loyal
subjects OF his majesty in Ireland to
aid in crushing such conspiracy and,
so far as in them lies, to assist in Sc
curing an effective prosecution OF the
war and the welfare and safety of the
empire.
THAT as a means to this end we
shall cause still further steps to be
taken to facilitate and encourage
voluntary enlistment in Ireland in
his majesty's forces in the hope that,
without resort to compulsion. the
contribution OF Ireland to these
forces may be brought up To the
proper strength and made to cor
respond to the contributions of other
parts of the empire"

Italy Launches Asiaso Drive.

London-Among the rugged peaks
of the Asiago plateau. east of the
Brenta river, the Italian front has
again famed into violent action. The
aggressive has been taken by the Ital-
ians, however, and the Austro-German
forces instead of launching their long
expected assault on Italian lines, have
been compelled to fight hard to main
tain positions where they have stood
since last November
The fighting seems to have conferred
on the comparatively short sector of
the battle line between Monte Asalone
and Monte Perticd. These two nights,
about three miles apart, rise to an
altitude of about 5000 feet, while be-
tween them there is a sort of saddle"
on which Teutonic forces have taken
up strong positions.
Italians Take Austrian Trenches.
Both the Vienna and Rome official
statements tell of bitter fighting on
this particular front, the latter stat
ing Italian soldiers have entered Aus
TRAN trenches on Monte Asalone in
two places.
The fact Italian armies have taken
the initiative in the fighting would
seem to indicate they have sought to
carry the fight to the enemy in such
way as to break up any arrangements
for the launching of a strong Teutonic
assault.
While the fighting has been very
fierce east of the Brenta the whole
Italian line from Lake Garda to the
Piave and thence to the sea has been
marked by patrol engagements, which
appear to be isolated actions, but
which may be component parts of
plan of campaign in that theatre of
the war. Nowhere have the Italian
lines been reached by attacking par
ties of Austrians.
