EMPLOYES
 CAUGHT IN GRAFT NET
Workers in War and Navy De- partments Charged Allege That Accused Sought to Col lect Duplicate Bill.

Washington, June 19.-Employes of the war and navyd apartments to- day were drawn into the net set by the Department of Justice for war contract brokers, through indictments returned by federal grand jury charging four men with trying to col lect on a duplicate bill for $1S7,000 submitted by dry dock company for repairs to a government vessel. The case does not involve contingent fee profiteers, but grew out of the investi- gation into their practices.
 The four indicted are Clyde c. Walt man, a yoeman in the navy depart ment's bureau of supplies and ac- counts; Charles E. Waltman, his bro ther, a business man of Victoria, Va; Benjamin w. Peake, a soldier at Fort Meigs, Wash, formerly of Berea, N. C., and D. Malvin Mowery, stenog- rapher employed in the signal corps office, formerly of Lancaster, Pa.
 Clyde c. Waltman and Mowery, who are roommates in Washington, are alleged to have conceived scheme for getting the navy department to pay the same bill twice, to collect one of the payments through con- federate in the office of the company rendering the bill. They successfully tested the plan twice, it is charged, but did not try to actually collect the money, and the firms returned the du- plicate payment to the government.
 Finally, with free access to navy department files, they were said to have obtained a bill for $1S7 ,000, rem dered April 23 by the Morse Dry Dock and Repair Company of New York for repairs to the government vessel Can andauga between March 1 and March 15, this year. After the bill was al- lowed to have been taken from the files the company was told it was lost and was asked to submit duplicate, which was paid. Before the men pre- sented the original bill for payment they were arrested.

HUNS SUFFER BLOODY REFUSE IN ATTACKS
 REGION OF RHEIMS
Assaulting Waves Come Under a Terrific French Fire-Few Who Reached French Lines Did Not Get Back.

With the French Army in France, June 19.-Large units of German shock troops which had been concen- trated on the western side of Rheims. between Vrigny and Ornes, and which went over to assault last night were men with such an awful fire from the French defense that they were unable to make the slightest progress. They suffered such losses after trying time after time to reach the French posi- tions that only few of the attackers were able to return to their own lines.
 When the Germans launched their attack in full force on Rheims their intention was to deal heavy counter blow to compensate for their failure to capture Compeigne. Forty thousand troops participated in the assault along the front extending from Vrig- ny plateau to Sillery, with orders to carry the city at ale osts. They met with dismal defeat,
 At every point they were repulsed with heavy losses. In most gallant manner the French troops prevented the enemy from scoring even initial success. The artillery prpearation lasted for several hours and was one of the most terrific yet carried out. High explosives from hundreds of cannon intermingled with numerous poison gas shells.
 To the east of Rheims the Germans at first made some advance, but were soon thrown back to their original positions, and considerable number of them were taken prisoner.
 At noon today the gun fire was still very heavy, but the attack may for the moment be regarded as complete defeat for the attacking forces.

VIOLENT ATTACKS BY
 AUsTR|ANS 0N PAVE
 RIVER ARE REFUSED
They Attempted to Cross From San Andrea to Candelu-Brit- ish Are Helping to Close Gates Against Invader.

Rome. June 19.-The Italians have captured since the beginning of the Austro- Hungarian offensive on the Italian front prisoners to the number of 9,O11 and have taken many guns and several hundred machine guns, the Italian war office announced today
 The battle on the Piave river broke out again furiously yesterday after {. noon, the statement adds. Fresh ef- forts of the invaders to cross to the right bank from San Andrea to Can delu were repulsed. An intense strug- gle also took place in the Fossetta sec torn orth of Capo Sile.
 The Montello, the oval-shaped chain of hills on which hinge the Austrian offensive, has been occupied for sev- eral months by the British who came to Italy last fall under Gen. Runner. A British division occupies also the southwestern ridge of the Asiago pla- teau, with the French on their right.
 The British, after reconquering the advanced positions momentarily aban- doned on Saturday morning with a view to strengthening the line, not only resisted all Austrian attempts, but gallantly counter attacked in a fashion that caused an Italian superior officer to remark:
 "They are slamming the gates of Italy in the face of the invader"
 The text of the Italian statement follows:
 "0n the night of June 17-1S and in the course of yesterday the enemy did not renew his attack from the Asiago plateau to the Montello. His partial actions were completely repulsed in the Grappa and Montello region.
 "We carried out thrusts on the Asiago plateau, the allied detachments capturing many score of prisoners and two guns.
 With unceasing pressure we short ened the front opened by the enemy south of the Monte Belluno railway. Our artillery, with deadly conscrip- ton of fire, did not give truce to the enemy masses waiting along the front Of the battle or in movement in the back areas.
 New attempts made by the enemy to cross to the right bank from San Andrea to Candelu were repulsed. On the embankments of the river between

it. OF course, the architecture is en-
tirely different, and you tire of it sooner
than American styles.
Tonight I am staying in a famous
old college, where Napoleon's son at

as is Poe's in Virginia. The building
is 700 years old or more, but is still

now, and different orders are issued

WORK Of U-BOATS
RATED EFFECTIVE
German Admiral Declares
"VisibIe Successes" Make
Figures Unnecessary.
SAYS U. S. PROGRAM FAILS

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM. April 1s.-During the
discussion of naval estimates before the
main committee of the reichstag, says
a telegram from Berlin. Admiral Won
Capelle, German minister of the navy,
referring to the submarine war, said
that statistical tonnage calculations
now are virtually superfiuous, as the
visible successes of the U-boats spoke
clearly enough.
The robbery of Dutch tonnage,
whereby Anglo-Saxons had incurred
the worst kind of odium for decades
to come,'' he said, was the best proof
of how far the shipping shortage al
ready hid gone with the western pow
ers To the sinkings must be added,
the admiral declared, the big wear and
tear in ships and the enormous increase
in marine accidents. which Sir John
Ellerman in the British shipping cham
Der, recently had calculated to be three
times the amount of peace losses.
Admiral Won Capelle described as
base calumny the statement made by
Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the Brit
ish admiralty, that German U-boat
crews were unwillingsto put to sea, and
said the assertions of British states
men that there had been extraordinarily
big losses of U-boats were very greatly
exaggerated.
Evening star., 1918-04-19
Strikes at Vital Nerve.

Another thing must be taken into
consideration" he went on. Hence
forth. every ship sunk strikes at a vital
nerve of our opponents, for when only
absolutely necessary cargoes Of food
stuffs and war necessities can be trans
ported. even the loss of a small ship
has quite a different Significance. as
compared with the beginning of the
U-boat war. Under these circum-
stances. even the greatest pessimist
must say that the position Of our op-
any doubt regarding the final success
Of the U-boat war is unjustified."
Admiral Won Capelle admitted that
Germany's opponents had had some
success with their anti-submarine
measures, but, he declared, this sue
cess at no time had any decisive In
duence on the U-boat war. and, ac-
cording to human reckoning, would

Construction Exceeds Losses.

Admiral Won Capelle declared that
the new U-boat construction exceeded
the losses and had increased both guam
titatively and qualitativeIy. He added:
I'VE also can continue absolutely to
reckon on the military achievements
hitherto attained. Whether Lloyd
George can continue the naval war with
prospects of success depends. not on
his skill, but on the position of the
U-boats as against shipbuilding."
He then entered into details on the
worlds shipbuilding for the decade pre-
ceding the war, and contended that the
new construction of the United States
and Japan to certain extent was
needed for their own necessity. Hence
only the figures of British shipbuilding
could come into the question.
Speaking with reference to shipbuild-
ing by England to repair the losses,
Admiral Won Capelle said that in the
middle of 1917 there was talk Of three
million tons in official quarters in Eng
land; then Lloyd George dropped to
two millions. and now, according to
Mr.. Bonar Law, the output is 1.160.000
tons. AS against, therefore, about 100,-
600 tons monthly put into service, there
were sinkings of 100000, or skiold.
In brief, continued the admiral, If the
figures given were regarded as too
favorable, and new construction was
assumed to be at the rate of 10000
monthly, that Is, so per cent higher,
and the sinkings reduced to $50, 900,
then the sinkings would still be thrice
as large as the new construction.
