Facts About Eclipse

SAN FRANCISCO. June IA great astral pencil, whose point is fifty miles in diameter, is 10 draw jet black line across the United States from Aber- deen, Wash, to Orlando. Fla, this oft ernoon.
 While the marking is being made chickens are expected to go to roost and birds to nest. Street cars may run with their headlights agiare, and there will be a sudden strain on all lighting utilities. The great cosmic titan who will hold the pencil and mark the line will "get even with Washington for stealing an hour of sunlight on that day. for he will take 47 minutes of that sunlight back again.
 The point of that pencil. black as ebony, will represent an eclipse of the sun. The point will begin with the moon. and will drop in an exact cone to the earth where it will delete consid erable portion of the Pacific ocean and the states of Washington, Oregon Utah, Colorado.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-The pos sibility that German submarines are lurking off the Atlantic coast hereafter must be regarded as continuing factor in American war measures, in the opin- ion of many naval officials. They be- lieve that the present raid will be fol- lowed by others and that it will never be safe again to assume that Ameri- can waters are free of this menace as long as the U-boats are at large.
 An indication of the deadly work of the allied and American fleets in Flu ropean waters was given today when Senator Swanson of Virginia, stated that according to information fur nished the naval affairs committee, 60 per cent of the submarines constructed by Germany have been destroyed. This percentage includes not only new construction, but the boats comprising the numerous fleet in commission at the beginning of the war.
 Secretary Daniels said the percen:a ge quoted by Senator Swanson represent ed the best opinion of our naval of ficers. 4

 During the hottest part of the hot afternoon-and it is expected that the thermometer will register well over 100 degrees at that time-the vagrant moon is scheduled to interpose itself in the line of vision between the earth and the sun, concealing about four fifths of the great luminary.

No Stopping Allies

No Stopping Allies
 Nowhere on this battle line have the Germans been able to stay the efforts of the allied troops, although they have fought with great tenacity. The marines everywhere have declined to take a backward step, going for ward against the enemy even when he had superiority in numbers. Close pressed, the marines, have given the Germans a taste of cold steel, even in the face of machine gun fire; sur rounded they have fought their way through the gray coated lines with their bayonets. From all accounts there has been no part of the game of modern warfare in which the men from overseas have not eXcelled the enemy.
 Enemy Losses Heavy
 The losses to the enemy thus far are declared to have been extremely heavy and the terrain they have lost is considered of high strategic value. inasmuch as it is on that part of the battle front through which the Ger mans had hoped to crush their way forward and attain an open road to Paris. The casualties of the enemy were particularly severe during the street fighting in Bouresches, where the Americans pushed him back step by step.
 Do More Than Planned
 The plans of the American com mand' did not include the capture of Torcy, but when the marines reached the objective assigned to them their ardor for battle could not be re- strained, and they kept on until the village was in their hands. Twenty five of the marines drove out 20G Germans from Torcy.
 Hun Attacks Stopped Hard held on thesother sectors from Soissons to Chateau Thierry the Ger mans. after very heavy lombard ments, have essayed attacks on the Marne from near Reims. These at tacks were ill starred, and the enemy had to accept defeat. A French at tack at Bhgny resulted in that vil- lage falling into their hands in it's entirety.
 | On the remainder of the battle front there is still slight activity aside from bombardments and patrol encounters.

lt was a windier. more gaseous day in the house than ever. Some of the rights of oratory went out of sight and lhe hearers wished that they might have gone out of hearing. Again and again inc corps of orators returned to tho breach and at the close of the day seemed to be going back into the hole from which they had emerged. The storm of eloquence broke in the after noon. It was opened by MT. Francis of Cochise who related in the most touching manner the story of a man suffering of kidney trouble. And it was not hearsay either but it was forti- fled by the affidavit, duly made out and attested,s of the victim of the ar- friction who was one of the victims, CO., incidentally of the Bisbee deportations.

And as there were l.1S6 of them. it could be foseseen hat the session might be prolonged. Accordingly the point of order was drawn upon him. But he had with drawn the cork from the r1agon of elo- luence and it fizzed and loaned through tho rest of the session.
