UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, June Real Prus-
sian frightfulness is coming into play
in the submarine raids on the Allan
tic coast shipping, according to de-
tails of the steamer Harpathian sink
ing, received here today.
This British ship of $500 tons was
torpedoed without warning between
ninety and 100 miles off the Virginia
capes. Captain Owen and his crew of
forty-one had barely time to get into
the boats. Flying timbers from the
explosion broke one mans leg and
injured the head of another The at
tack came at a m, when most of
the crew were asleep and some
tumbled into the boats scantily clad.
The German pirate popped up for
a minute and was seen to be big
craft, bearing the number 102 or 112
on her coming tower. For twenty
six hours the Harpathian's men were
in their open boats with insufficient
food and water. AS they rowed for
shore, they saw two more German
submarines.
Torpedoing OF the Harpa THAN
brought the German sinking record
to fourteen-six steamers and eight
schooners. The missing total TWEEN
ty-five-ten passengers and fifteen
crew of the Carolina Word came TO-
day of the safe arrival at a West
Indian port of 10000 ton liner for
which fear had been felt
New York's lighting restrictions

A false air raid alarm caused by

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Suggest-
ing a government fiscal policy for
191s-t919 of 33 1-3 per cent taxes to
So % per cent bonds and other loans,
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo TO-
day shocked congress with request
for an sS,OO0,OOO,00O tax bill.
, McAdoo's action suggests that
there will be two more Liberty bond
campaigns before June 80. 1919-the
first in October, when it is expected
to raise $4,000, 100000 and the sec
ond some six months later, when an
other big loan will be floated, the
size to depend on how great are the
returns from war saving and other
loans.
Facing expenditures during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, or
s24 900 .OO0, 900, McAdoo argued. in a
letter to Chairman Ktehin, OF the
house ways and means committee,
that taxes must bear their share to
"pneyent ultimate disaster" which
would follow future financing upon
the uuicksands of initiation OF un-
healthy credit expansion"
To raise $4,000 900, 900 in taxes, NC
Adoo urges heavy draft on war
proffts-hinting his approval of Brit
aims flat eighty per cent levy on
such. He suggests more than trip
ling the present state of four per
cent on unearned incomes derived
from corporate stocks, bonds, mort.

MADISON HOSPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETE AND
HOSPITAL REOPENED.

The local hospital has been closed
to patients for the past three weeks
during which time there have been
many improvements made in the in
terror of the building which have
added greatly to the facilities of the
institution.
The operating room has been fin
ished with a new floor and new
plumbing has been installed. All the
other rooms and furniture have been
re-enameled and present a very at
tractive appearance. Besides this a
new separate water main has been
attached to the building giving album
dant water pressure.
New rooms have been opened up
and new equipment added for the ac-
commodation of more patients as
heretofore it has been frequently
necessary to turn patients away or to
keep them waiting considerable time
for admission. The hospital was re-
opened this morning and eight pa
tients have already entered.
The training school has been reor-
ganized under the supervision of Miss
Johanna Hegdal, who takes up heI
position as superintendent of nurses,
Besides being a very successful pro-
fessional nurse, Miss Hegdal brings
to her position the advanced ideas or
what nurses should get in training
schools, as she is a member of thu
South Dakota state board for exam
lining and registering nurses. Th'
hospital feels very fortunate in secur
ing the services of a superintendent
so competent for the training school
The community and physician
feel indebted to the manager, Mrs
Geo. Palmer, for these improvement
and she will receive the hearty sup
port of all in maintaining a higl
standard of hospital service until TIL
new hospital is equipped and read,
for use.
Anyone who wishes may visit tn
hospital between 2 and 4 o'clock eac
afternoon the first of the week an
the management will be glad to We
come them.

the only one larger being owned b.

bles were set for so and were deco
rated with lilacs. At each plate was
a place card with a tiny silk flag.
A committee of ladies served a de-
licious supper to the young people
after which in a few well chosen
words Rev. l.. l.. Mann introduced
Rev. E. E. Barnhart, who responded

HUNS MAKE AN AIR RAID ON
LONDON-THIRTY-SEVEN
PERSONS KILLED.

London, May 21.-Northwest of
Melville, in the Flanders salient, the
British improved their positions last
night, the war office
Thirty prisoners-and six machine
guns were taken by the British in
this operation. A counter attack on
the. new positions, launched this
morning after a period of heavy suell-
ing, was crushed by the British ar
tillery and machine guns.
OF the 20 to 80 Gotha machines
which took part in the rail- on Lon
don Sunday night, five arc reported
officially to have been brought down
One of the raiders was engaged by
a British airman who fired at close
range until the machine disappeared
in a cloud. Shortly afterward, the
machine burst into flames at a height
of 1000 feet and fell, a blazing
wreck. Another machine was
brought down by anti-aircraft guns
in London. Two others were brought
down while attempting to escape, one
being destroyed by British airmen.
The fifth was set Attire and fell into
the sea.
Bombs were dropped promiscuous-
ly on certain parts of the London
district, doing, in a few cases only,
no inconsiderable damage to small
dwellings.
Thirty-seven persons were killed
and 155 injured in the London area
during Sunday nights air raid.

KOHLER AT Home
CHILDHOOD HOME In FRANCE
ASSISTS PARENTS.

Lieut.. Albert Kohler, enlisted from
Madison in the medical department
of the United States army, and we'll
known here, is billeted in Toul,
France, his birthplace, scene of his
youth and the present home of his
parents, is what he writes to j. c.
Schultz, his former employer. His
sister was killed early in the war
when the Hun first swept westward
over the fair land, and the small shop
and home of his parents was destroy
ed. The young man IA filled with
passionate resentment at the atroci-
ties committed, the more so perhaps
as it was his home and people who
were the victims. After about eight
years residence in this country he
enlisted in the army of the United
States with hopes of ultimately. if
only after the war, of revisiting the
scene of his childhood.
Fortune favored him in this. Thus
early in his army experience pure
chance placed him in his native town.
He found his parents. relatives and
many friends. For his impoverished
parents he rebuilt a four Dor cot
tage and a small shop for the sale OF
small fancy articles. He writes that
he sleeps at home every night that
something does not interfere with
that plant. In this way is an Amer
lean soldier living with his AlsatIan
parents in a foreign expedition
against the kaiser.
