were about to finish the Britisher
when Lieutenant Campbell dashed in.
He emptied his machine gun at the

ARMY BILL PASSED
House Measure Fifty Per cent Mere
Than Civil War Cost

The army bill, which carries appro-
priations aggregating S12,04l ,6S2,G09,
and gives the President unlimited
power to raise an army of whatever
size he deems fit, was passed unani-
mously by the House yesterday after
noon.
Representative Longworth told the
House just before the bill passed that
it carried appropriations 50 per cent
greater than the total cost of the civil
war to both sides. The measure
passed after three days debate, all
limited to fiye-minute speeches. When
it was. certain no vote had been cast
against the great measure-by far
the hugest appropriation in the his
tory of the world--the House rose and
applauded.

SOLDIERS DISLIKE DANVILLE
Charge Is Made That They are Forced

Danv!lle, Va, June An inquiry
has been instituted here into alleged

by the Union News Company, which
operates a lunch room at the railway
station. The matter has been report

forwarded to the state food admins

Red Cross nurses, seeing the num-

by passing troops, made an inquiry.
Mrs. II. B. Martin, chairman Of the
canteen committee, says soldiers have
been charged 70 cents per quar-! for
milk, so cents for pies and GO cents
per quart for peanuts. She has other
instances. J. F. Hough, local man
ager for the concern, claims that the
charges were due to an error when

U. S. TRANSPORT SUNK
Second Troop Ship Returning to Go
Down Torpedoed.

The American transport Pres!den:
Lincoln, bound for the United States.
was sunk at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning by German submarine. The
following announcement was made by
Secretary Daniels:
"The Navy Department has re-
ceived dispatch from Vice Admiral
Sims stating that the U. S. S. .Presi-
dent Lincoln was torpedoed at 10:4O
o'clock this morning and sunk an hour
later.
"The vessel was returning from
Europe. No further particulars have
been received"
Though details are lacking, it is
assumed, from the fact that the
transport was returning to the Unit
ed States, that few if any troops were
on board. Meager reports so far re-
ceived mention no casualties.
