 TO DISCOVERY IT A NEW STAR
Early Report Indicates Hun Gained Over Two Miles At Certain Points On Line
 No Advantages Developed
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

BAKER, Ore, June 9-A new star in the constellation Aquidda was dis covered at 1:20 a. m. today by pr. George H. Peters and Professor Will liam Conrad of the United States naval observatory party here to study the eclipse. It was discovered while the scientists were developing photo graphic plates of the eclipse, each see ing 1t at the same moment between Altair and Vega.
 If the new star is what scientists here believe, it is the first of this type visible since 1900 when one was seen in England. The term new" does not mean the creation of a new star, but merely that the body has be- come bright enough to be visible. It may ultimately fade and disappear in few months or even weeks. The dis covery of star of this type is re- garded as very important however, and astronomers here are anxious to learn what is ascertained by further stuoy of it. It is the third one of this type reported in 900 years and of mysterious character and intense brightness, which they believe a little later will make it visible in daylight. In the sky it is placed at 1S45 right ascen-
 
 'This is more important in the astronomical world than the eclipse, D said pr. Merrill of the United States bureau of standards, and this belief was seconded by all the other scien- tists including J. C. Hammond, head of the naval observatory party, Dr. Mitchell of Leander Mccormick ob- servatory. astronomers of international reputation.
 An Associated Press dispatch Satur- day night from Washington, D. c. an- nounced the discovery of the new star at Leander Mccormick university.
 GREEN RIVER, Wyo, June 9.-Pro- lessor Edward Emerson Barnard. astronomer of Yerkes observatory here to observe yestIrcays eclipse of the sun, discovered a new star of the first magnitude last night, it was announced today. The star is said to be about fifteen degrees west of the star Attain.

 'The artillery duel increased many times in the evening and early this morning. It increased in intensity in the Kemmel region, south of the Somfhe and on the Avre.
 Local attacks by the French south of Ypres and by the British north oI Beaumont -Hamel were sanguinarily repulsed

AMERICAN SHIP

Submarine Sinks Freight
 Vessel Off Maryland Coast In Waters In Which

TRep Jbllcan A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Amer ican steamer Pinar del Rio was sunk by a German submarine 70 miles off the coast of Maryland yesterday morning. One of her boats with the captain and F members of the crew is missing; another with Is men has landed on the Virginia coast.
 A brief dispatch to the navy de- partment tonight announcing the sink ing did not say whether the ship was shelled or torpedoed. Hope is held that the missing boat has been picked up by some passing vessel or will turn up at some point along the coast.
 The Pinar del Rio was a freighter of 2,5O4 gross tons and was built in South Shields, England, in 1895, being christened the Saba. She was bought by an American firm some time ago and placed under American register. It is assumed here she was engaged either in coastwise or West Indian trade.
 Until tonight the raiders had not been reported as showing themselves since the Norwegian steamer Vinland was sunk off the Virginia capes last Wednesday evening at o'clock. All Off Same Coast
 , All sinkings reported to the navy department since the submarines left the New Jersey coast district last Sunday have occurred off the coasts Cf
 Maryland and Virginia. with several of them due east of Cape Henry. This l indicates that the U-boats are operat- l ing over very limited area, probably not more than a few hundred square miles. but in a very important shipping lane.
 Since it became known that the sub marines were in this area, naval and air forces have concentrated their ef- forts there.
 Fair weather has prevailed along the coast since the Rio was sent down
 and even if the men in the missing 1 boat are not rescued at sea. they | should be able to make land in day or two. They may already have land
 ed at some isolated spot on either the ] Maryland or Virginia coasts.

People are economizing as they have never done before. The result is that the repair business is boom ing from one end of this great land of ours to the other. Thousands of articles which when broken or worn were replaced by new ones are now being sent to the able repairmen of Phoenix to be made again "as good as new"
 The skill and ingenuity of the re- pairmen, is reconstructing things big and little so they give the ser- vice of new articles.

TWO MEN KILLED IN DISPUTE OVER CATTLE
WAR SUMMARY
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

The armies of Crown Prince Rupp- recht of Bavaria again are hitting the allied line in a new offensive with Paris apparently their objective.
 Between Montdidier and Noyon over front of about 20 miles, preceded by a heavy bombardment with shells and noxious gases, the enemy's initial maneuVer evidently has in view the bending back of the allied front toward the town of St. Just on the northern wing and toward the railroad junction of Compiegne on the southern flank, getting astride the Disc river and driving southwest toward the French capital.
 The French troops are resisting the impact with their usual valor, but the Germans on their right and in the center have been able to penetrate the line for distances ranging from two thirds of a mile south of Montdidier to relatively two and half miles at Res sons Sur Matz, in the center. Thence to Noyon, however. the allied line is holding strongly.
 If success should rest with the enc my on the new battle front it possibly might badly affect the stability of the line of the defenders from the Disc to the Marne and compel falling back westward from the Disc to the region of the Marne northwest of Chateau Thierry in order to straighten out the deep salient that would then project eastward with the Sossons sector as it's apex.
 The allied commanders, it is asserted were not taken unawares by the new offensive.
 Comparative quiet prevails in the region of the Marne, and on that DOT. ton of the line in Flanders held by tho British.
 From the Astico region to the Piavs river in the Italian theater there have been intense artillery dueIs but no in- fantrY engagements of great impor- tance.
