Transport Fires on U-Boat.

AN ATLANTIC PORT. June IL
An American transport fired five shots
at a German submarine yesterday
Seventy-five miles off the Jersey
coast. with unknown results, accord
ing to information brought here by
the captain of Brazilian steamship.
The freight ship, bound north from
South American port, sighted the sub
marine soon after 10 o'clock. Inn
mediately full speed ahead was order
ed, and the vessel zigzagged. A few
minutes later a vessel in the distance.
which later was identified as United
States Army transport, open fire on
the submarine. Two shots were heard,
followed almost Immediately by three
others.
The submarine was too far away.
said the South American captain, for
him to tell whether any of the shots
took effect He also said that he
thought the transport was too far
from the submarine for the latter to
try hit with torpedo.
The Brazilian steamer continued its
courst with all possible speed for
this port without waiting to ascer-
tain the result of the encounter.

May Attempt Surprise.

By the Associated Press.
ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
Sunday, June 9.-The question as to
where the Austrian offensive will
strike has not yet been answered.
Notwithstanding the frequent mass
ing of troops, it is suspected that the
Austrian commander is counting upon
springing surprise. by reason of his
present inactivity.
Aside from minor engagements
mentioned in the daily official COM
municauons and apparent from the
customary laundering Of cannon, this
front from the high Alps to the
Adriatic presents q most peaceful
aspect ranging from the very
trenches back miles upon miles to
fertile green fields and flowers and
trees.
1t is a scene Of apparent peace with
wars tragedy marked only here and
there by ruined buildings, from long
range guns and air raids. The coun-
try. people go about their daily
tasks. marketing their garden prod
uce and taking in the early harvest
as II danger were far away.

Of ships. which, alone. has been task
colossal in it's magnitude.
AT the present moment we have a
large number of vessels devoted to
dition to maintaining their efficiency
as fighting units in case the need for
them as such arises.
IAN immense service has been rem
dered by the Navy to our merchant
marine. 1t began with<our supply to
them of armed guards to fight sub
marines, then the Navy started upon
training, in addition, gunners, engine
drivers, water tenders flremen, petty
officers. signal men, cooks. coxswains,
practically every rating known Is
ships at sea in war time.
X \:
"In this work of training, American
adaptability helps. J think our great
success with our young men is not
due to the fact that we are of an old
sea breed. At one European station
of the American Navy our enlisted
men are building brick houses. OF the
two hundred busy at the Job only two
ever had laid brick before the work
began.
I'm order that such amateurs should
work successfully it was necessary to
adopt some tricks. They invented
them without delay.
For example, walls were kept verti-
cal, at first. by laying them against
the side of,an old aero box. In every
gang 1t was the plan that there should
be at least one man who some time in
his life had had to do with bricklay-
ing, but I am not sure that this was
always done. Still, the walls are good
ones. The buildings will stand up as
long as any. In most instances the
steel frames for the American aero
dromes were erected by men who new
er in their lives before had been con-
nected with structural steel work.
sailors (Who, a few months since,
never had thought Of being sailors)
did these tasks, and many others, still
are doing them, without proper quar-
ters, for they build their own, and
without a word of grumbling. 1t
warns the cookies OF my heart to
watch these young Americans at work.
"They realize without exception
that every mans job is to help on
toward the common end.
ut is that realization, probably,
which has made their personal con-
duct so exemplary. On every side /
hear this spoken of. American faith
ers and American mothers have
great reason to congratulate them
selves upon the fine behavior of their
sons upon this side Of the water.
Englishmen of note have delighted
me by saying that they are utterly
surprised to md so many young
Americans working in such close

FIRST RECONSTRUCTION
MEASURE IS INTRODUCED

The first reconstruction measure
was introduced today, when Repre-
sentative George M. Young Of North
Dakota offered in the House a concur
rent resolution that, in the process OF
rehabilitation Of the Army, illiterates
shall be tho last returned to civil life,
and that elementary instruction be
given to them before they are dis
charged.
The resolution also called on the
Secretary Of War to furnish informa-
ton to the House and to the Senate
as to the number of illiterate men in
the Army and Navy, with an estimate
Of the cost Of furnishing elementary
education to all illiterates through the
educational section of the division OF
reconstruction of disabled soldiers and
sailors.
In presenting this resolution, Repre-.
sentative Young emphasized the fact
that educational workers among Hitter.
ates have found by experience that an
ordinary adult can learn as much in six
months as an ordinary child in -four
years. He brought out also that after
a period Of war activity nothing would
be more demoralizing to the soldiers
than period of idleness.
His resolution, therefore, provides
for disqualification Of the Army only as
fast as profitable employment can be
found for the soldiers, and that during
the delay courses of instruction may
be given to the less educated.

new PLAN TO SETTLE
DISPUTES OVER ROOMS
Housekeepers Hereafter to Be Civ
en- Same Consideration as War
Workers in Discussions.

A new plan Of settling room dis
putes, under which the housekeepers
of Washington will be given the same
consideration as the visiting war
worker. was decided on today by the
housing and health division of the
War Department.
Under the new plan. whenever a war
worker complains that she has been
notified to move from a home in which
she has been given a room the hous-
ing division will seek information as
to why the housekeeper desires to
get rid Of the roomer.
Capt. Peyser, chief Of the housing
division, has assigned Lieut.. William
M. Conrad to handle room disputes
and. in all probability. the procedure
will be to hear the landlady's side of
the story before determining whether
the war worker had cause to protest
against being asked to move.
1t has been growing moro apparent
daily to all officials Interested in the
housing problem that a feeling of
resentment exists between many
Washington housekeepers against war
workers because Of misunderstand-
ings over the renting of rooms.
1t is hoped that under the new plan
the housing division of the War De-
partment, 1414 H street, will be able
to- settle the disputes fairly by hear
ing both sides Of the story before TAX
ing any action in defense Of the war
workers.
Hope was expressed that when
housekeepers realize that they will
be given the same consideration as
war workers when disputes arise they
will no longer hesitate to take room.

YOUR LIBERTY LOAN BONDS;
FACTS OF VITAL INTEREST

While there have been but four lib
standing seven distinct issues Of these
securities. This is the result Of the
conversion of the first 81 per cent,
which brought out first converted Is
and the conversion of the per cent,
which resulted in the first and second
converted 41hs.
After Saturday Of this week the con-
version privilege in so far as it re-
lates to per cent bonds will expire
for all time.
Bankers estimate that the premium
on AZ per cent bonds over the As will
be about 50 on the $1,000 after the ex-
piration Of the conversion right.
No Reason for Not Converting.
There is no good reason for not con-
verting. Converted bonds retain the
same maturity as the original issue,
and interest payments are made on the
same dates. The exchange can be made
at the Treasury building, front door,
or at the bank where you purchased
your bonds, without charge to you.
There is no need CT converting 3k
per cent bonds. for the reason that they
are more valuable in the open market
than any other issue, and they also
retain their conversion privilege into
any future issue of liberty bonds,
though there is small indication of any
future issue bearing more than AZ
per cent.
Concerning Tax Exemptions.
All liberty bond issues are exempt
from normal income taxes, irrespective
of amount.
Under an act of Congress approved
September "a. 1918, the following laws
regarding tax exemption became eff
fective:
a. The interest on an amount OF
bonds of the fourth liberty loan the
principal of which does not exceed
$40, 200, owned by any individual. part

as Surtaxes and excess profits and

In Addition to Income Exemptions.
These exemptions are in addition to
the exemption of the income on $4,000
liberty loan bonds Of any issue :.
The new exemption legislation OF
September "a was taken with a view
of stabilizing the market value Of the
various liberty loan issues.
The fourth loan issue was given ex-
emption from surtaxes on the income
from bonds Of not more than $50. 900,
face value. This means that no matter
how many securities other than al
liberty bonds a corporation or fndt-
vidual may own, he has $1,250 OF I'M
come that is not taxable, plus the In
come on $4,000 bonds.
Stabilizing other loans was also
sought in the action by which any

verified BIS are free from all surfaces
on the income from an amount OF
bonds equal to $50 per cent of his
subscriptions to fourth liberty loan,
and still owned by corporation OF in
dividualA-the ownership dating from
original subscription at the time OF
the fiotation Of the fourth loan.
These exemptions from surfaces end
two years after the war.
Free From Surfaces.
Converted 3ks are free from sur
tax on the income from $4,000 plus
the income on $1,000, while the first
33as are free from all taxes but in

also subjected to.
Purchasers Of the fourth liberty
loan bonds on the terms of the gov
