CAPTURE AUSTRIAN PLANES.
Three Monster Machines Taken Intact
by Italians.

Headquarters Italian Army, May 30.
-(By Mail)-Three of the monster type
of Austrian hydroplanes recently have
been brought down almost intact, and
with their occupants are now behind
the Italian lines. They are called the
XIII, K3S3 and KISS. All Of these
K-type of machine are enormous struc'
lures with three motors Of 400 horse
power carrying three men and 1000
pounds Of bombs.
The KISS was the last to be captured
after it had made an early morning
flight Of observation near Venice.
Crossing the Piave lines just back of
Venice the big car scattered bombs on
the camps and sprayed it's machine gun
on the men below. But fortunate shot
from an anti-aircraft gun put a hole
thru the motor of the big machine. 1t
Immediately struck out to sea, but in
its wounded condition it struck the
water with crash and capsized.
In the obscurity the wreck fioated for
some time without being located, but
the cries for help from the drowning
aviators at last brought a rescue party
from the Italian lines. All of the oper-
ators were wounded, two of them seri-
ouslv. The big machine was towed in
to the naval base where it Joined the
growing collection Of trophies Of war.

of % 200, 900 lightweight tons. Chairman
Hurley, of the shipping board, declared
here in an address giving the most
complete statement of the nations ship
building program which has yet been
made public. He was speaking to the
graduates of Notre Dame University
This great commerce fleet, Mr.. Hur-
ley said, the largest ever assembled IN
the history of the world and involving
the expenditure of more than 100000
600, will link the United States to South
and Central America by weekly steam
err service, which will enable the Latin
American countries to utilize their I'M
limited natural resources in the freest
competition with other nations. 1t also
will bring the Pacific for the transpor-
tat.on of the products of Japan, Russia,
China, Australia, and the Orient, and
will continue to promote Americas
trade with Europe.
And with it all he added American
ships will serve humanity Loyalty and

1.-THE vast merchant fleet we are
building" said Mr.. Hurley, must be-
come the greatest instrument of inter-
national probity, honesty, and square
dealings at the close of the war. 1t
must become the vast and vital machine
whereby America will prevent the OPP
preston of the weak by the strong. the
crushing of right by might"
Mr. Hurley said he and Director Gen
eral Schwab, of the emergency fleet
corporation, expected the shipping out
put this year to exceed 100000 dead

WHY U. S. ENTERED THE WAR.
German Socialist Paper Boldly Dis
cusses Moral Issue.

Zurich, May 2S.ACBy Mail]-A bold
editorial in the Vienna Arbeiter lei
tung. a socialist paper, stating the con-
viction that it was only for moral rea-
sons that the United States entered the
war, and vigorously censuring Ger
many's peace by violence" with Rus
STA, has aroused great resentment in
Berlin.
Neither for military nor economic
reasons, the Vienna paper pointed out,
could the United States have made war
on Germany. America" the editorial
continued, need but have looked on
while the peoples of Europe were tear
ing themselves to pieces and reaped
gigantic profits out Of the struggle.
Powerful America has pledged her
pledged her honor in the war and 1t Is
her will that this honor shall be vindi-
Gated.
Nevertheless, peace might have
emanated thru America. If that peace
has not come the fault lies with those
who engineered the negotiations of
Brest- Litovsk and the peace by vio-
lence which was their outcome.
How, after this proof that this peace
was imposed solely by the will Of the
conaueror, could Mr.. Wilson possibly
believe that the central powers are de-
sirous Of a peace based on his own
prtncy.'->-F5 49,, = ~ 80

WOODS CASE UP TO WILSON.
Final Disposition Rests With Presi-
dent, Baker Declares.


dent, Baker Declares.
Washington, June 14.-F'inal dis
position of the case Of Mai Gen. Leon
ard Wood, who was removed from
command of the Eighty ninth division
just before that unit left for overseas
service, has not been made. Secretary
Baker told the senate military affairs
committee.
The secretary appeared before the
military committee in executive session
to urge substantial increases in the
$4,000, GG0,0 army appropriation
bill. Members of the committee asked
Mr.. Baker for an explanation of the
transfer of General Wood to the weG-
tern department. The secretary said
General Wood was being held in this
country "for the good of the service,
but added that it has not been deter
mined what future detail will be given
to him.
Members of the committee ques-
toned Secretary Baker closely until
answering. He told the senator's that
he regards the case as closed, and de-
clined to give any additional informa-
ton. The final disposition Of General
Wood, he added, is left to the discre-
ton of President Wilson, as COM
mander- in chief Of the army.
The senators, after the meeting, ex-
pressed ,disapproval of Mr.. Bakers ex-
PLANTATION and said they had urged him
to give General Wood an assignment
overseas.
Maj. Gen. William Crozier is to be
removed as chief Of the ordnance de-
partment and Maj. Gen. Henry G..
Sharpe will be replaced as head Of the
quartermaster's department. Secretary
Baker told them they would be traxs-
ferred to entirely different branches
of the service.
He proposed an amendment to the
army bill authorizing the president, to
support two major generals "as large"
to provide that rank for the two
officers.
General crozier's nomination as
chief of ordnance bureau has
been held up for months in the senate.
He has continued to sit as member
of the war council. while the ordnance
bureau has been run by an acting
chief General Sharpe. while having
the title of quartermaster general, was
recently assigned to a southern pest
and the bureau placed in charge of an
acting chief.

The high cost of living during the
civil war has been used for half a CEN
fury as a sort OF standard for COM
PARSONS. Prices then, and especially
in 1853, were beyond all previous eX-
perience. Poor people, and even people
In moderate circumstances, often found
them prohibitive. Strikes and mass
meetings were not uncommon. Parades
were organized. to demand lower prices
and higher wages. Indeed, a writer in
the New York Times declares that the
social unrest was far more serious
than any we know today" ..
Prices rose steadily from 1861 to
1853. The level reached in the third
year Of the war was the high-water
mark. The increase for the period var
led from so to rs per cent, and in some
instances was 100. One Of the chief
sources Of complaint was the cost Of
sugar, which rose to u or is cents a
pound. One Of the curiosities of the
list was the price Of butter, which for
a long time hung around 80 cents a
pound. Cotton sold at one time at 81
a yard. Other interesting facts are
given by this writer:

Saloons felt the pinch also in 1858.
A meeting Of saloon owners was held
in New York to consider the problem.
and in the face of great public opposi-
ton the price Of drink of liquor was
raised from &c to 10c. The best hotels
raised their rates to $3.50 and later to
50 a day, and charged extra for heat
and light. The rate included a room
and three meals a day. The BARRIERS
demanded 10 cents for shaving and 20
cents for hair cut. Ice was consid-
cred great luxury and was supplied
at the rate Of so cents week for a
supply Of ten pounds day.
The average cost Of foods, It is seen,
was well below the prices of today.
The explanation Of the violent protests
thruout the country will be found, how
ever In the comparatively low wages
paid in the trades and professions.
Banners borne in a parade In New
York demanded a wage of SLIP a day.
The average rate for common labor
rose as high as $1.25 for a days work.
Even the skilled workmen Jared little
better. The wages of blacksmiths rose
from $1.75to 81 day, while the brick
layers of 1863 received 81 a day instead

"FoIIow Mel" U-Boat Signals After
Sinking Pinar del Rio.
Norfolk, Va June 14.-Survivors of
the American freighter Pinar del Rio,
arriving here from Manteo, N. c., said
the German submarine which sank
their vessel 10 miles northeast of Cape
Henry last Saturday morning after a
stern chase of more than an hour was
accompanied by a large ship which
they believed to be a mother" ship.
They also asserted that after their ves-
sel-was sent down by gunfire the sub
marine sank two American sailing ves-
sells.
Walter c. B. Burrows, first assistant
engineer Of the Pinar del Rio. described
the craft with the submersible as a YES
sci Of about 5000 gross tons, with a
single funnel amidships. She was
painted gray and stood some two or
three miles in the offing while the sub
marine sank the Rio. When the Amer
lean craft went down the submarine

her consort started away.
According to survivors, the first Of
the sailing craft attacked by the sub
marine after she had destroyed the Rio
was ship, while the second was
schooner. They knew nothing as to
the fate Of the two crews, but assumed
the men were allowed to take to the
small boats, as were the captain and
thirty three men Of the Rios crew.
William F. Clark, of the naval re-
serves, who said he was aboard the Rio
in training for service as an officer on
a merchant vessel, said the submarine
fired six shots at the Rio before the
American craft stopped. When the first
shot was fired the captain put on all

AFT you want to keep your hair in good

Most soaps and prepared shampoos

Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich. creamy

thoroughly. The lather rirses out cas-
