WAR-FUND DRIVE

New York, March 1.-The War Council of the American Red Cross an- nourced today that the campaign to raise the second war loan relief fund of slOO, ,0O0,0 would be postponed until the week of May 20. It was the orig
 nal intention to begin raising this money for Red Cross work on May 6, but fear that it might detract even slightly from the Liberty Loan cam paign prompted the War Council to postpone the date for two weeks. This action, therefore, fixes the date of the Second War-Fund campaign eleven months after the first which was car ried on during the week of June IS, 1917. The War Council had been ap- pointed by President Wilson five weeks prior to the start of this first money raising campaign, and it's first great on the relief work on a scale commen- surate with the military operations. More than Sl00,0O0, ,00O was contributed in response to the first call for financial aid and these contributions plus inter- est brought the total receipts from the first drive to sl05, ,990,257. Of this amount Sl7,OO6, l2l was refunded to chapters for local relief work. and of the balance s77,72l,9l has been appro- priated, leaving balance available for appropriations of SlO,37l,2l7. France has been the beneficiary of American Red Cross appropriations in the sum of more than S3O, ,O00, ,000.
 During the week preceding Christ mas the Red Cross conducted a mem bership drive which resulted in the en- rollment of approximately 22,OO0,OO0 new members, and this was followed last month by campaign conducted by the Junior Membership of the Red Cross which resulted in that collateral organization of virtually all tho school children in America.

TO RAISE SUNKEN
 SHIPS AFTER WAR

London, April 23.-The Lusitania may yet carry American troops to France to beat the Germans.
 Salvage experts are now working on the problem of raising her from the 100 feet of water she lies in off the Old Head of Kinsale. At all events an attempt will be made to recover the treasure from the strong room on one of the upper decks. The possibility of bleaching the vessel on the Irish coast is also being considered.
 Some of the keenest engineering minds of Great Britain are devisng plans and means of raising torpedoed ships after the war. Many of the sub- 1narined ships lying on the ocean floor in the graveyard of the Atlantic' of Ireland are in water shallow enough to make the project feasible.
 In addition to the value of the ships vast fortunes in metals and imperish- able cargoes are resting in the holds of the wrecks.
 Salvage companies are laying plans for raising both ships and cargoes on a big scale," said R. H. Davis, managing director of one of the largest subma- rine engineering corporations in the world. "Cargoes to the value of mill lions of dollars are awaiting recovery. Apart from the silver and bullion in sunken ships, there is a huge quantity of other metals.
 "In many cases where ships cannot be raised, the cargo can be salved. We recovered s350, 900 in Spanish gold from the Alphonso XII some years ago. She was lying l65 feet under the sea. We also recovered large quantity of silver bars from the Skyro off Cape Finisterre in l66 feet of water. This shows what can be done after the war"
 Owing to the scarcity of tonnage after the war, every ship that can float will be worth fortune. The salvage companies expect to raise many of the lesser damaged vessels with little trouble and put them into commission shortly after the war is ended.

TELL ITALIANS
 ABOUT E;HTENTES

Rome, April 2o---A movement to i'm prove censorship conditions so that Italy may be better known to her Allies has been begun by Dr. Stuart Galenga, chef of the Press Bureau, under-secretary to Prime Minister Orlando, and a member of parliament.
 At recent conference held to hear the grievances of both Italian and foreign newspaper men so as to i'm prove censorship conditions, English and American correspondents pointed out that one of the chief objections was the slowness of the telegraphic and mail services, particularly when any news event of importance occurred.
 The chief point made as regards the Allies, was that it is to their mutual interest to let the people of the respec- tive nations know of the war activities of each other and by telling the truth to counteract the evil impressions made by the circulation of Austro- German propaganda
 Anti.Amercan propaganda in Italy so far has been largely founded on the argument that the war is enrichlng the United States to the deteriment of all the nations of Europe, that the United States is going to make only 8 "bluff' of carrying on the war and risking the lives of her soldiers. Such propaganda is supposed to be of Ger man origin. It has been found to take ready root in the minds of pacitists and socialists who want to have the war ended at any cost and who realize that without the hel p of the Uuited States the war might not be carried on so long and to a victorious conclusion.
 A subtle means of conveying this argument has been by the use of mov- ing picture film shown in Sicily pictur- ing Uncle Sam as big, vulgar million aire raking in the gold of the whole world.

U-boats Damaged
More Than Ships
Germany's Submarine Fleet Has Suf-
fer~d Heavily in Recent Months
That Only Few Now Operate.

Washington, July S,--CIermany's sub
recent months that during recent ex-
tended periods only a dozen undersea
boats have been operating. according
to information gathered by French Of
flcials. SO marked has been the de-
crease in sinkings OF allied craft. that
the German admiralty has been forced
to jusgle their records, with the re-
suit that the German public recently
found that the total sinkings for May
were IN excess of the sinking reported
from time to time during the month.
The German admiralty. in defending
the report for the month. boldly stated
that credit for sinking tonnage had
been given TO U-hoats which failed to
return 10 their bases, the credited
figures depending upon the general
previous averages recorded to the var
ious lost commanders.
Il now is established that during a
large part of June only a dozen Ger
man U-hoats were in operation. The
number previous to that time is be-
iieved to have been about twenty. II
is stated that Germany Is unable TO
sustain its submarine warfare for a
variety of reasons. The closing OF the
U-boat bases on the Flanders coast is
held to have been severe blow.
The exhaustion of the crews and
failure to obtain raw materials for
the manufacture of new vessels also
have hampered the German admiralty.
Moreover, official reports received here
indicate clearly that the allied navies
are destroying the U-hoats faster than
they can be produced 1t also Is re-
ported that shipping te and from
British ports in May was 7,T77,S4a
tons. AS against 100000 for April and
that an increased movement of about
25o,0eo tons was recorded In the
