PRESIDENT WILSON VEToEs
 PROVISION FOR MAIL TUBES.
Says Motor Trucks Have Rendered
 Other System Obsolete.

Washington, June 30. - President Wilson yesterday vetoed the postofilce approprlation measure containing the provision for pneumatic tubes, against which the postmaster general has fought consistently. and succeeded in having the bill passed again in the house in record time with no provision for the tlbes As no money is pro- yided for the rental of the tube sys- tems in New York. Chicago, Phlladel- phia and the other cities now having the system, use of that method of dis tributing mail will have to be aban- doned
 An effort was made by proponents of the tubes to pass the bill over the veto with provision in it for retention of the tubes until March 1, 1919, with investigation by the interstate com merce commission in the meanwhile to determine the eXpediency and necessi- ty of retaining the tube systems. This effort failed miserably, only 113 votes being cast in favor Of passing the measure over the presidentS veto, while 187 members voted no,
 The presidents veto message stated that he was convinced that there is no moral or legal obligation resting on the government to continue the use of these tubes by rental. The growing volume of mail and the installation of motor trucks have made the tubes practically obsolete,'' the message said, and quite unnecessary, and in fact a hindrance to the efficient opera tion of the postal service" The mes sage declared that no loss of time in mail deliveries would result through abandonment of the tubes, and that this mail could be handled at less cost and more expeditiously by other means"

GERMANS TRYING TO. FIX
 LIMITS OF AMERICAN SECTORS They Are Pushing Out Patrols Some
 what Nervously Here and There.

With the American Forces in AL sace, Saturday, June 2s-(By The As sociated Press.) s.)-The Germans have found the overseas men facing them at so many places on the Alsatian front that they are pushing out patrols somewhat nerVously here and there with the object of trying to fix the ex- act limits of the American sectors.
 The Americans also are out every night studying the different lay of No Mans Land in the mountainous region. Clashes naturally are frequent and the Germans are finding that the Ameri- cans are not as easy to deal with as they would wish even when outnum- bered.
 Sergeant Dewey F.. Slocum and Cor poral John c. Phillips. both of Grand Rapids, Mich, and Private Newton Bell, of -Muses Mills, Kentucky, were cut off from the rest of their platoon in one of these little fights at an ad- vanced post and refused to surrend ed. They could not run but they show ed that they could shoot Private Bell accounted for four of the enemy and the other Americans did nearly as we'll
 The Germans then signalled for helr and their artillery laid down a bar rage to hold the Americans until the Germans cou.l reinforce their patrol l but the latter was driven away before | help came and the Americans crawl | ed back through a curtain of fire and ] rejoined their platoon.

HUNGARIAN PREMIER TELLS
 OF LOSSES IN LATE DRIVE
One Hundred. Thousand Men in Dead,
 Wounded and Sick.

Amsterdam, June 30.-Dr. Alexander Wekerle, the Hungarian premier, caus ed a sensation in parliament on Satur- day with declaration regarding the Austro Hungarian losses in the last Italian offensive, according to a Buda- pest despatch received here today. The premier said that during the last few days exciting rumors were being cir culated regarding the losses. These rumors, he declared, were much eXag- gerated. The Austro- Hungarian armies were withdrawn on the Piave front in order to spare lives, he declared, soince they must have sustained very great losses had they held that line.
 But how many are our losses %' iIi- terrupted Zlinsky.
 The number of prisoners taken was stated to be 1S.OOO,o the premier re- piled. The truth is that the Italf- ans have taken 12.000 while 50G00 Italians fell into our hands In the case of an offensive and a retreat this figure cannot be termed excessively high. Much sadder is the loss we suf- fered in dead, wounded and sick mostly sick. In the tenth and eleventh Italian Offensives we lost S0.000 tc 100000 men. Now. however, our Ioss- | es are similar, about 100000"
 Great excitement in the chamber l marked this declaration. The premier | continued:
 q am obliged to record this regret i table circumstance.
 Tt is true that of three bridges l across the Piave the uppermost un- | fortunately collapsed and then botf | the others were carried away with it i This figure includes the fallen. the | slightly wounded and those brough back as ineffectives"
 1 A great uDrOar interrupted tht premier and there were cries of "They were all Hupgarians.' When quie was restored Premier Wekerle con
 tinued:
 q mention these figures in orde
 to describe the situation with perfec l sincerity. Also because our enemie. will certainly portray these losses il an exaggerated fashion and perhaps al so our public opinion.
 'In the entire advance and retrea
 the Italian losses amounted to 150,00 far srrpassing our losses in dead
 wounded and sick.
 Tt is not to be doubted that we in l fiicted important losses on the Itali
 ans and prevented them from sendin 2 considerable part of their troops t
 S1e western front, which in the inter
 est of the common conduct of the wa
 is undoubtedly the objective which j
 was our duty to attain This aim. toC

By Action of President Wilson in Vic- tory Appropriation-VaIued at $10,- o0C,occ.

Braintree, Mass. June 30-"With only "A hours notice pneumatic tube service property valued at $10 900 900 has been consigned by the government to the scrap heap" said Merton L. Emerson, president of the American Pneumatic Service Company, in a statement issued at his home here to- night, regarding the veto of the post office appropriation by President Will son yesterday.
 My company" continued MT. Elmer son, owns the mail tubes and other property incidental to their operation in all of the cities except Philadelphia. The governments fiscal year ends at 11:30 tonight and consequently the president by his veto has caused us to cease operations. There are 57 double miles of tubes in the various cities connecting 5S postoffices and railroad stations"
 In emphatically denying that be- cause of the increased volume of let ters, the tubes had become useless in handling the mails, MT Emerson as- serted that they had been carrying over 25,000,00O letters daily in five cities
