 Mir Maloney, so far as known, has made no attempt here to get in touch with Democratic voters, and if there were any here who favored him for the nomination which he seeks, his hobnobbing with Hubbard has turned them against him.

U-BOATS STILL BUSY
Two Norwegian Vessels Are Sunk
Off Virginia Coast.
Total Number of SHIPS Destroyed
Since German Raiders Arrived
Now Twenty.

Washington, June 1.-Two more
neutral vessels have been sunk by
Germany's sea wolves in American
waters.
The latest victims of the raiders
which first made their appearance off
the Atlantic coast some three weeks
ago are the sailing ship Kringsjaa and
the bark Samoa, both Norwegian. The
crew of the former has been picked
up by an American warship, which is
bringing them to an Atlantic port
and that of the latter was landed at
Norfolk
Both vessels were sent down 80
miles off the Virginia coast. The
Samoa was sunk by shell fire, the
navy department announced, but the
time and manner of the sinking OF
the Kringsjaa had not been reported
to the department.
It's announcement concerning the
Krin gsjaa said:
"A United States man of war has
picked up all of the survivors of the
bark Kringsjaa, which was sunk about
so miles off the Virginia coast. They
are being brought to an Atlantic
port"
Since the Kringsjaa was sent down
in the same general locality as the
Samoa, it was believed that the same
submarine had accounted for the two
ships.
The Kringsjaa brings the total of
vessels sunk by the German U-Boats
off the American coast to 20, six of
which were Norwegian, four steamers
and two sailing craft.

Withstand Shock of Teuton

GREAT BATTLE RAGING
Official Reports indicate That Gen
eral Diaz Has the Situation Under
Control and His Troops Are
Vigorously Counter Attacking.

London, June 17.-On the PiaVe
river Austria's mighty offensive has
made progress, but is stuck in the
mountains.
Italians, however, are attacking
vigorously and the impression from
both Vienna and Rome official re-.
ports is that General Diaz has the
situation well in hand
Nowhere, apparently, did the Aus
TRAN smash catch the Italians nap

Immediately a battle, and it still is
raging hercely On 100 mile front.
Austrians Do Not Claim Progress.
Vienna claims 10000 prisoners in
crossing the Pave and several hun
dreds in the mountain sectors, and
53 guns. Rome reports the bagging
of 5000 Austrians in successful cOun-
ter attacks. The most hopeful sign
is that no new claims have been
made by the Austrian war office since
Saturdays fighting and in the re-
port on that day there is no assertion
such as I'VE are progressing
All that matters now is the devel-
opment of the battle on the right
bank Of the Piaye, to which the Aus
trian army of General Wurm crossed,
according to Vienna's claim, ION a
broad 'front.'" on both sides of the
Oderzo-Treviso highroad.
This means that the Austrians on
the west bank of the stream are some
10 miles from Treviso, where two Vi
tally important railways intersect-
the Udine-Venice line and the great
railroad running through Venetia and
Lombardy into Southern Italy.

This latter railroad is the life line
Of the Italian Piave army. The fall
of Treviso and a subsequent dash
southwark to Venice might cut off the
italian southern armies avenues of
escape. This clearly is the chief stra-
tegic Austrian aim.
In the narrow space between the
Piave and Treviso, therefore, the men
ace, must be checked by the Italians.
Every word, official and unofficial

war department for additional calls,
General iCrowder said that at the
present rate class one will be ex-
hausted by the end of the present
year, and that unless the age limits
are extended and another registration
held, it will be necessary early next

probably soon thereafter in class
three.

MAY Be SIX BILLIONS
Government Is Preparing for the
Fourth Liberty Loan.
Financial Program for Next Four
Months is Disclosed by Sec
rotary McAdoo.

Washington, June 17.-Secretary
McAdoo has disclosed the govern
ment's financial program for the next
four months in preparing for the
fourth Liberty Loan, to be f1oated
probably in October. About $6,O0O,-
100000 certificates of Indebtedness
will be issued.
They will be offered in blocks of
$75O,000,O0 each, every two weeks
beginning June 10.
Every national bank and trust
company is asked to assist the gov
eminent by subscribing per cent of
it's gross resources monthly. The
certificates will bear Az per cent In
terest like those preceding the third
Liberty Loan, and will have varying
maturity periods, none exceeding four
months.
Tax Certificate Issue.
In addition, an undetermined guam
tity-perhaps $4,000, 100000 of tax
certificates will be issued during the
summer for use in paying taxes a year
from now.
The announcement of this program
indicated that the fourth Liberty
Loan will be for at least S6,000,000,-
600, the exact amount depending on
government expenditures in the next
few months. The treasury already
has estimated these roughly at about
$12,000,000 900 between July 1 Spd
next January 1.
Borrow from Banks.
The sale of certificates under the
plan in effect during the past year
amounts virtually to borrowing in adj
vance from banks on projected pOpu-
lar war loans or tax collections, and
periodically refunding these short
term obligations in long term Liberty
Loan bonds. Depository banks
make 21a per cent net, the difference
between the Az per cent interest
paid by the government and the 2
per cent collected for deposits.
