Both vessels were sent down y0 miles off the Virginia coast The Samoa was sunk by shell fire at o'clock Friday morning, the navy department an nounced today, but the time and man ner of the sinking of the Kringsjaa had not been reported to the department late tonight. Its announcement con corning the Kringsjaa said:
 "A United States man-of-war has picked up all of the survivors of the bark Kringsjaa, which was sunk about 90 miles off the Virginia coast. They are being brought to an Atlantic port"
 Although the report to the depart ment might indicate some of the crew of the Kringsjaa had been killed, of ficiaIs believed that as they had done before, the Germans permitted all aboard the sailing ship to take to the boats before sinking the vessel.
 Since the Kringsjaa was sent down in the same general locality as the Samoa, it was believed tonight the same submarine had accounted for the two ships. It was also regarded as certain the same submarine unsuccessfully att tackled the British steamer Keenum off the Virginia capes Thursday evening
 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.
 The Krinksjaa was of 159S net tons and the Samoa of 1051 net tons.

 As the bombardment ceased British infantry started forward toward she shell hole craters which the enemy held.
 TRYING WORK IN DARK
 As the British advanced the enemy opened heavy fire from every ma chine gun nest along the line. The Germans were shooting more or less blindly in the dark, which saved the British many casualties. But it was trying work to push ahead through the barrage of bullets sweeping waist high across No Mans Land. The attacking infantry finally reached the enemys s posts, and bitter hand-t hand fight ing occurred at most of these nests
 The battle in the region of La Pan- nerie. where the Germans were espe- cially strong, was exceedingly fierce Here the contending troops struggled throughout most of the night. With the arrival of daybreak however, the British had secured all their objectives and forced the enemy to fall back.

A new photoplay of the most inter
esting kind is to be shown at the Re
public Theatre tomorrow night
1t is called six Shooter Andy" and
Tom Mix is the star In this drama
he has role that is distinctly of the
Western type.
six Shooter Andy" is built around
a personality that is little known and
which, strange to say, has up to this
time never found its way into drama
or story. Mix is not only trapper and
a pioneer, but Il punisher of corrup-
tiOn
The story is essentially a romance,
the heart is touched at every step, and
the delight of those who view it as
the work of the hero brings peace and
happiness where there had been none
before
A notable cast surrounds Tom Mix
in this production. The young woman
in the case is presented by Enid Mar
key and others who will support him
are Sam De Grasse, Charles Stevens,
Bob Fleming, George Stone, Virginia

be impressed upon them. No matter
what precautions may be taken by
their rulers to hide the truth, some of
it is certain to seep through. In thou
sands of ways, which even a despotic
autocracy cannot fathom or prevent,
the facts about the third Liberty Loan
will reach the German mass. A bare
success for the loan would not, of
course, be without weight; but if it
shall be oversubscribed billion dol
lars, or, better still, two billions, its
moral effect will be out of all proper
ton to its dollar bulk
One of the greatest opportunities
that has ever come to the non-combat-
ant American to strike a blow for free
dom, justice, world tranquility, and
democracy is here and passing. No
one worthy of the blessing of liberty
can afford to let this opportunity slip
by.
The third Liberty Loan should not
be less than five billions; every dol
lar above the minimum subscribed will
mean the Fastening of victory and of
peace.-Christian Science Monitor.

AN OPPORTUNITY;
DON'T LET 1T PASS.
The Third Liberty Loan, The
Greatest Of Opportunities
To Strike A Blow.

The country has now entered unCn
the last week of the third Liberty
Loan campaign. The three. billions of
dollars named as the minimum total
subscription will be reached and pass
ed. There was never reason to doubt
that it would be. Far more willing,
far more eager, are the people of the
United States now than when the first
loan was floated to give all that may
be required of them to the Treasury.
As times goes on and further financial
support is needed by the Government,
the response will be freer and more
liberal still Carrying on its share of
the war was but an incident in the ex-
perience of the United States a year
ago, even down to six months ago; it
is now a first consideration, vital in
terest More and more is the winning
of the war becoming the principal aim
and absorbing business of the nation
But it is all-important that the pres
ent loan shall be greatly oversubscrib-
ed. AS there is moral as well as phys
ical force in a man-power, in an equip
ment, in a food, and in a munition sup
ply beyond immediate need, so there is
in money surplus. What the United
States and the Allies have stored up
for the future cuts quite as important
a figure in enemy calculation as any
expenditure of force which they may
be making in the present. The United
States and the Allies know that they
can carry on this war indefinitely, that
they have the means of waging it with
out cessation and with increasing Wig
or until victory is assured, even
though ten years more may be given to
| that achievement The governments
| of the Central Empires suspect this to
be the case; it is hardly going too far
! to say that they are convinced of it;
but they are deliberately shutting their
eyes and ears to it and taking desper-
ate chances in the hope that some cir
cumstance, some gamble. some for
tuitous stroke on their own side, or
some mistake on the side Of their op-
| pOnents, may yet enable them to die
tate the terms of a compromise.
If the people of Germany and Aus
tria knew half as much as their rulers
know about the situation as it exists
today; if they know, as their rulers
know, that in man-power, in equip
ment. in food, and in munitions the AL
lies are constantly growing stronger
rather than weaker; if they knew that
the resources of the United States
have thus far been scarcely scratched,
