Cautious Galveston.

Many persons remember the destruc-
ton of Galveston by West Indian
hurricane which blew so hard it forced
the sea up into the streets of the city
and thousands Of lives were lost. AS
a protection against similar disaster,
the city built great sea wall. This
year it has begun nearly two miles
more of sea wall which will take near
ly two years to complete and which
will cost 100000. After the great
storm of 1900, the citizens raised the
site of the city 171A feet by pumping
millions of tons of sand from the gulf.
Galveston has taxed itself for all these
colossal improvements.-Exc

American Destroyer saves
French Tank Steamer Off the
Maryland Coast.
FINDS A SHIP SINKING
Same War Vessel Comes Upon
Schooner Bombed in Same Vicinity
Eleven Craft Known to Have
Been Lost and Deaths Grow.

Washington, June 6.-German sub
marines are known to be continuing
their operations off the American
coast.
A French tank steamer Radioleine,
first transatlantic craft to be attacked
by the raiders, was saved from de-
structiOn at $3.50 o'clock this morning
by an American destroyer IS miles
off the Maryland coast.
The same destroyer found the coast
ing schooner Edward R. Baird, Jr.
sinking after having been bombed In
the same vicinity, making seven
schOoners and four steamers known
officially to have been sunk by the
raiders.
Raiders Holly Pursued.
Announcement by the Navy depart
emnt of these facts late tonight dis
closed that the raid in American wa
ers had not ended with yesterday S
tale of destruction, upsetting the the
DRY that the raiders probably were
speeding homeward.
Coast patrol vessels had not acted
on the theory. They now are closing
in from all directions on the scene
of the raiders last exploit, securing
the sea for further trace of enemy
U-boats as they come.
Secretary Daniels directed tonight
that the brief report from the de.
stroyer be made public. The destroy
er herself, with two survivors from
the Baird, was still hunting for the
enemy.
Navy Announcement.
The announcement which naval of
ficers said contained all the depart
ment knew about toady's activities OF
the raiders, follows:
"The Navy department has received
a dispatch from a United States de-
stroyer that at $50 o'clock this morn
ing she interrupted an attack by an
enemy submarine on the French
steamer Radioleine, about 65 miles Of
the Maryland coast. The destroyer also
took on board two men from the Ed
ward Baird, which was bombed and
sinking.
Later report was received stating
that the Radioleine had arrived at an
Atlantic port"
Two U-Boats identified.
Reports from survivors who were
aboard the vessels also established the
fact that during the day at least two
submarines have been at work in
American waters. They are the U-31
and the U-151 and the report to the
Navy department shows that one OF
them at least had stores to last her
three months.
Statements of the seamen held pris
oner on the raiders and later cast
adrift in their boats, conflict as to the
size and armament of the enemy craft
One report fixes the number of the
crew of one boat at 76 men. That
is almost double the number usually
aboard an 800-tonner
The toll of the dead and missing
from the raid stood at 5S, all from
the steamship Carolina, of the New
York and Porto Rico line.

st. Paul, June 6.-An order making
idleness a crime punishable by i'm
prisonment or fine was adopted by
the State Public Safety commission.
The go-to-work mandate was intro
duced by Col c. H. March. 1t is
based on the necessity of utilizing the
maximum man power toward prosecu-
ton of the war, and particularly to
provide labor to take the places of
men who have left food productions

list in military service. The measure
is effective at once.

ILLINOIS, RECONSTRUCTION PLAN.

The State of Illinois is wild with en-
thusias1u just now over 100000, 900
bond issue which will connect every
good sized town in the state with every
other county seat town or metropolis
with a paved road without one cent Of
taxes being levied on real estate. The
people are to vote in November on
a proposed state bond issue Of $50, 00o,-
600 in twenty-year bonds at az per
cent interest for system Of state roads
4400 miles long to be paved, averaging
from twenty-five to 100 miles in every
county in the state and to be paid for
entirely out OF automobile licenses and
federal aid money.
The plan is not to issue the bonds nor
to start construction until after the war
when money win be cheaper and mate
rial will be cheaper with labor plenti-
full. Illinois is preparing now to pro-
vide jobs for her returning soldiers ana
discharged munition workers by paving
the owners Of automobiles pay the bill.
A scheme like that applied to Iowa
would involve about the same number
of miles Of roads. The primary road
system already selected by our state
highway commission in each county for
the expenditure Of federal aid money
comprises 5000 miles and connects
every county seat town and metropolis
with every other county in Iowa The
plan here is to grade and gravel few
patches as much as can be done for a
few mossbacks in public finance have
equitable distribution of costs which
public bond issues bestow. At prices
which prevailed before the war 5000
miles of road in Iowa could be paveG
| for the S60,0000 900 which Illinois pro-
poses 70 borrow in anticipation of her
automobile revenues. 1t would require
an average of 100000 per annum for
j twenty years or $4,000, 900 per annum
! for thirty years to pay off the bonds
! with their average interest and ouI
automobile license revenues now exceed
s2,5OO,O0O per annum, so the lllinoi,
scheme is perfectly practicable.

THE WEEKS BUSINESS.

| Big bank clearngs and bumper busl-
prices than to actual quantities OF
! commodities changing hands Weather
conditions have retarded retail trade
but crop conditions have been good
turnout the west and south. In the
east the stability of money markets re-
fleets confidence in business conditions.
| Factories continue to slow up on their
demands for materials for their regular
output and are shifting more and more
not even available for anything but
munitions. Dun's list of wholesale quo
| tations this week again discloses more
| articles advanced than declined but
the net margin between the up and the
down prices is narrower than before.
Dun's Review says:
The best feature Of the iron and
steel situation, as it has been for sew
eral weeks. is the steady recovery in
manufacturing, and conditions have
now so far improved as to permit of
practically full capacity running at
some establishments. That the works
are turning more and more to govern
ment business, and that ordinary de-
mands are of steadily lessening impor-
lance, is made clear by the weeks adj
vices, and the diminishing consumption
in non essential lines attracts increas
ing attention. Meanwhile, the needs of
the allies remain extensive, and Italy
and France together will take no.
900 tons of barb wire.
After several weeks of progressive
Improvement. the leather market has
~ firn1er, and nides nave risen further
on larger transactions While recent
developments have suggested the prob
ability of price regulation. buyers have
shown anxiety &c cover reduiTeiTi Oh =
and the revival of civilian demands has
been an important factor in the change
from a condition of dullness and de-
preston to one of activity and buoy
ancy. Yet the needs Of the govern
ment for army shoes, harness and
other leather equipment remain the
dominating influence. and the reap
pearance of the British buying com
mission, which is again here to make
extensive purchases, has proved an adj
ditional stimulus.
How the needs Of the government
are dominating the dry goods markets
is illustrated by estimates that during
the balance of the year 80 per cent OF
the textile production Of the country
will be wanted for war purposes. This
implies further restrictionof outputs
for civilian uses, and many lines OF
merchandise are being withheld from
regular channels until the require
ments Of the various departments at
Washington are definitely known. The
prices which the government is paying
on it's contracts range from 10 to % per
cent below those prevailing on ordI-
nary commitments. and this fact to-
gether with the continued discussion Of
price regulation. induces more caution
in forward undertakings.
