hot drinks, razors and pencils at cost
and gives ink and writing paper free.
Unpaid women workers mend clothing
darn stockings and give practical help
to soldiers without the aid of press agents.
Leaders of the Salvation Army told
here, some months ago, of their reception
IN France when they asked General Per-
shing for authority to work with the army.
He was Interested in their proposals, and
as they turned 10 go he said in effect:

the matter, as the liner picked up Is of
the crew of the submarine and took them
into port.
The transport left an Atlantic port

She was steaming rapidly in fine wealth

considered improbable that any of the

The captain was on the bridge at dawn
looking out for submarines and mines.
Acting under instructions he had deviated
considerably from the usual course and
was expecting to make port and land the
troops during the forenoon.
There was slight haze on the water
which probably prevented the commander
of the U-boat from seeing the ship. when
he merged about two points off the star

of the ship saw the submarine first, and,
without allowing any time for torpedo

to submerge. The sharp bow of the ship

disappeared, leaving some of her crew
struggling in the water.
The attacking ship cireled around and
dropped one of the lfeboats hanging at
the davits on the port side, which rescued
Is of the Germans, who were trying to
keep afoat and shouting to the ship for
help. The remainder of the submarine

their vessel after the collision.
/ The shock when the ship struck the
U-boat was SO Slight that Tie American
soldiers sleeping on the lower decks did
not know anything had happened until

After the ship had eircled around for
some minutes line was thrown to the

Wits again. and the troopship proceeded
on her way to port.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The plans of
the. leaders of Congress to postpone reve-
nue. legislation until an extraordinary SEES
sion collapsed Saturday when the Repub-
hcans of the senate declined to enter into
an agreement to enact revenue bill by
the first week in January.
President Wilson, in an effort to meet
the united congressional opposition to
revenue legislation before the congress
sional election, agreed in a conference
with Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, that he would consent
to postponement until an extraordinary
session to be called on Nov. IL, if congress
complied with the following conditions:
l. Members of both parties must agree
to the enactment of revenue bill by the
first week in January.

along the general lines indicated by Rep
resentative kitchin chairman of the

the bulk of the tax levy must come from
an increase of the excess profits, income
and inheritance taxes.
3. Members of the WAYS and means

prepared to report bill when the sug-
gested extraordinary session was to be
convened on Nov IL.
4. The agreement was to include the
| passage of the bill by the first week in

of the President for his consideration by

not attend the conference at the White

In military language budendOrff
has declined To battle along his
whole center from the Scarpe east
of Arras to- the Aisne east of Sois-

the same time stood fast OH his
