AMERICANS ARE BEING TRAINED
 FIGHT IN OPEN
Troops are Being Schooled for Ex- pected Offensive Movement of AL lies after Ultimate Crushing Ger
 many's Great Offensive Power

WASHINGTON D. C., June O--'rhe American troops who in training in the various camps throughout the United States being schooe for the special pur pose of conducting forward movement against the enemy The time that formerly devoted to training in special
 ties of trench warfare has been greatly reduced The maners of the different divisions of the United States army laying particular upon the training open warfare
 It is expected that heavy forward movement will be conducted by the allied armies immediately following the u
 innate crushing of the German offensive power By the time these who in training in the United States reach France long marches and swift maneuvering against
 the retreating foe may we'll be the order of the day The division commanders training their with this end in view.
 The soldiers of the United States have been trained previously in the method of trench warfare that is enpOyc on the western front Many French and British soldiers who gained their experience the trenches brought this country to show the Americans the trick of fighting in ditch While there will be certain percentage of this training maintained, great many of the specales will be discarded and the will be given the general plan of trench work
 The soldiers be thoroughly hardened to long marches it is thought that this will be very essential ill the future fighting in France All of the troops the American cantonmens being given unlimited target practice. With this training and the natural American abl y to shoot straight, there is doubt that the Yankees will be the best marksmen the battlefront.
 Each soldier is given very minute instructions O how take of himself in open combat Practical dem onstraons in open field where there protecting trenches are being given the every day With this in ensve training it is the hope of the American command the efficient fighting force that has ever been on the western front.

ENDEAVORED TO
 SELL SPOILED
 MEAT TO ARMY

WASHINGTON, D. C., June G. The investigators for the federal trade commission have discovered evidence that unfit meat has been sold or offered for sale to the gov ernment for the use of the army. This statement was made today by w. T. Chantland, an examiner of the federal trade commission, at the hearing of the Wilson company, one of the largest meat packing firms in the country.
 Many complaints have been made to the commission that the Chicago packers were endeavoring to dispose of or had disposed of meat to the army that was not fit for human consumption. Upon these complaints being lodged an investigation was started immediately.
 A strenuous denial that they were implicated in any such attempt to defraud the government was made by the Wilson company. They stat ed that these charges of the ex- aminer were untrue and that at no time had they ever offered for sale or sold any meat to the government that was not in good condition.

APPROPRIATION REQUESTED FOR
 COAST DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, D. C., June G. The war department has presented to congress a request for the ap propriation of $16,OOO,000 to be used for the defense of the American coast. It is the desire Of the war department to establish 16 bal loon and seaplane stations along the coast, 13 of these to be placed on the Atlantic seaboard and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
 These stations are estimated to cost approximately $1.000.000 each The war department plans that the stations be used for the defense of the coast of the United States against any possible submarine or air raids of the enemy. Large ob- servation balloons are planned from which, at great height, a lookout can be kept along the coast, and in that way an immediate warning can be given of any unusual activity. These stations would also have a number of high powered seaplanes that would be used in the active de- fense of the coast, both in attacking submarines with depth bombs and against any enemy aircraft that might attempt a raid.
 Arrangements will be made with the railroads running along the At lantic coast for the quick transpor- tation of these defense units in the event of their being needed at some distant point from the stations. It is thought that 16 of these stations placed along the eastern and south ern coast from Maine to Texas, combined with the naval patrol, would be sufficient to defend the coast from any inroads of the ene- my.

It is stated by General Pershing that Lieuten- ant Campbell between April 14 and May 31 downed six enemy airplanes These are the planes that are off cially credited to the aviator, al though it is thought that there are a number more that have been downed by him of which official confirmation cannot be made.
 Lieut.. Campbell, who halls from the State of California, was just recently declared to be flying ace. He is credited as now standing al the head of efficient American avi- ators. His place in the lead, how ever, is being crowded by Eddie Rickenbacher. There is 9 friendly rivalry between the two American flyers as to which will be able to down the most enemy planes.

rines that have been conducting the raids in American waters.
 This ship, the captain states, was masquerading as neutral trading vessel and flew no flag. Neither did it have any marks by which the nationality of the craft could be de- termined. The boat was sighted off the Virginia capes while the Am erican schooner was enroutc to this port
 Two submarines were trailing the supposed neutral trader, but were not making any effort to overtake the ship and torpedo or capture it. Traveling in the same direction as the American schooner, the suspi. cious steamer dropped astern of Cap tain Rays vessel She later came alongside of the latter boat, but made no sign that she had seen the American ship. During sudden mist the two boats became separat. ed. and the trader was not sighted again by the Americans.
 That this boat was carrying sup plies for the submarines is not doubted by theAmerican captain. Ev- cry action made by the craft was suspicious, and served to more thor oughly convince the crew of the American boat that the craft be- lOnged to the enemy.
 BRITISH STEAMER SUNK
 WASHINGTON, D. C., June G. The navy department announces that the British steamer Harpathian was sunk by German submarine yes terday 100 miles off the Virginia capes. The ship was suddenly tor pedoed by the submarine. but there are no deaths reported, only one member of the crew being slightly injured. The entire crew of the yes sel was rescued and has been brought into an American port. This is the first sinking by a submarine along the Atlantic coast that has been announced today by the navy de- partment.

SAY
 NO MORE NEWS
 SUBMARINES

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June G. It is now generally believed that the activities of the enemy subma rines on the Atlantic coast have come to an end. This opinion is formed by the fact that several steamers from southern Atlantic Wa ters, among them being two passen- ger liners, have arrived in this port. and they have brought no further news of the German U.bOats. Had these submarines been continuing their activity it is almost a certainty that one or both of these steamers would have been aware of the fact.
 Having been warned that the enc, my crafts were operating along he American coast, these steamers took every precaution against being sur prised. Lookouts were posted day and night in barrels that had been lashed high on the masts of the vessels. The captains of those boats which carried any passengers advised the latter that it would not be a good idea to disrobe when retiring for the night. These instructions were carried out by the passengers, for they were expecting at any mo torpedo.
 All the lifebOats belonging to the vessels were kept provisioned for a long stay on the open sea. These boat were suspended from their day it's at the level of the steamer decks, ready for instant use in case of an emergency. This vigilance was not relaxed until the steamers had ar rived safely in this harbor.
 CARGO SAFE
 PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June G. With the Stars and Stripes waving proudly from the stern, the Ameri- can tanker Herbert l.. Pratt ar rived at dock in this city today. Immediately upon the vessels ar rival, the work of unloading the cargo of oil was commenced.
 The Germans failed in their at tempt to destroy this cargo when the vessel was damaged by striking a German mine off the Delaware capes last Monday. As soon as it was learned that the vessel had been damaged, boats were sent at once to assist the tanker. The re- pairs that were necessary to allow the vessel to come into an American port were made in a short time, and as a result the cargo is now being discharged at this place.
