FUN U-BOAT SUNK U. 5. BOAT TAM.IPA

London, Jan. The claim that the United states ship Tampa was sunk by the German U-53 is based upon assertions by the officers of the U- boat that they had sunk on the day the Tampa was lost an American es- cort vessel the name of which they did not know. The Tampa was sent to the bottom m the Bristol Channel of the English coast on Sept. 26 with her whole company of 11S officers and men. No other American war ship or escort vessel was sunk on that day.
 The German claim to have sunk the Tampa was brought here by Lieut.. F. L, Muller and Lieut. J. H. Butcher formerly of the Ticonderoga who were taken prisoner on board the U-152 when that submarine sank heir ship. During their imprisonment the U-152
 lay alongside the U-53 in the Catte- gat and the two Americans talked with the officers and men of the U-
 53. It was then that they heard the
 Germa0 story The Germans accord ing to the two lieutenants assumed that the Tampa was their victim. American naval officers here are in
 cIineG to think the Germans may be
 mistaken. On the day when the Tampa was sunk a torpedo was fir
 ed from a submerged submarine at . the American destroyer Chester but the aim was faulty. The Chester i'm mediatelY dropped several depth
 charges. The American officers are
 of the opinion that the Germans be- Heve their aim had been true and believe they mistook the explosion of one of the depth charges for the noise of the destruction of the Chester. The Tampa was out of sight of other American vessels when she was destroyed. She had left a convoy bound for France and soon afterward those on board tho vessels of the convoy heard a terrific explosion. { Destrovers found wreckage on the boats and two unidentified men but
 no survivors. It has never been as l certained whether the Tampa was | destroyed by torpedo mine or inter nal explosion. The U-53 was com manded by Lieut. Captain Hans Rose who sunk number of merchant vessels off Nantucket. Rose claims 1 that he sunk the American destroyer 1 Jacob Jones.

NATIONS WAR BILL

Despite ArIlsisticc, Expenditures In crease, December Total Being
 100,000OGO.

Washington, Jan 1.---AmeriCa's par ticipation in the war has cost the American people approximately $22, 5S9, ,986 eco. This is apparent from d survey and analysis of Treasury eX- penditures since April 1, 1917, based on official figures.
 During the 21 months from April 1
 1917, which was just a few days be-
 fore the declaration of. war to De- cember 31. 1918 the tOsal Cs1Urse- ments amounted to $.4,5S9,sS6 0J3 MT,
 McAEoO in his annual rep r.. and in calculations presented to the revenue
 providing committees of Congress. all ways assumed that the normal eX-
 penditures for the fiscal years 1917 and 1918 o0 a peace basis would have been $1 ,OO0, COG, ,020 for each year
 Assuming that $2,0O00oJ0GC repre- sents what would have been spent under peace conditio0s in that periad,
 the cost of the WEI is S22, 5S2, ,9S6.C02. The loans to the Allies in 1918.
 which are, of course, included in the disbursements, are reported to be ap- proximately %4,150,0CO,0O GOO. bringing the total in such loans since the United States entered the war to more than $8, eco GOO, O0r
 The bulk of tho cost of the war, which has sWelled Treasury disburse- ments to the aggregate of $2t,GS9, ,935.- 900 for the 21-month De cd. is repre- sented by the Treasury disbursements during the calendar year 1918. Drr- ing the calendar year 19lS the Treas ury dfsbursed $18161, GOO, eco, in round
 numbers. Allowing S1,0G0, G00 eco for normal peace expenditures, the war cost from Jan. l last to today was ap- parently $17, ,161, eco, GOO.
 | The most interesting feature of the Treasury Departments monthly state

Make Winter Attack and Push Lines to South of
 Village of Vologda.
SEVERE FIGHTING
 MARKS THE ADVANCE
Casualties of the American Forces Are Reported to
 Be Very Slight.
ArchangeI, Tuesday, Dec. 3I

Archangel, Tuesday, Dec. 3I --lBy the Associated Press )- American troops yesterday re captured the village of Kadash. on the middle sector of the Northern Russian front, and today pushed forward their lines a distance of two miles south of the village toward Nologda.
 This winter push, which was against strong resistance, was under taken simuItan ously with a move ment southwar4 by the Allied troops along the Omega river. The Omega column rested today at the village of Gogoli.
 The recapturs of Kadish was marked by some heavy fighting in which. however. the American cas ualties were Hght. This village which is located about midway be- tween the VoIogda railway and the Dvina river, was strongly defended . and the BoIshevikt there used the block houses built by the Americans and British when they occupied the town in November before beina driven out by large forces of BoIshe. wiki.
 Beginning Monday morning witt an artillery attack, the Americans ad, vanced across the frozen Emtsa river, where their positions have fol more than a month been located 1T icy dugouts on the bank. They cleared the Bolshevik trenches ant
 machine gun supplements on the opposite bank The Americans ther pushed forward two miles to the vii ltgo, fighting their way under the . protection of Canadian artillery which was able to place shells al
 most at will in Kadish. The fur . clad American fanhing parties in tn, frozen swamps bordering on the roat
 contributed materially to the Ameri can success.
 i The recapture of kadish gives tn, i American troops a good winter posi- ! ton in the block houses they havt ! built. Since the retirement from tht
 town early in November the troop
 on this sector had had virtually nt
 shelter, the front line being unable |
 build fires for fear of the arttller, and snipers on the opposite bank.

B0MB EXPLOSIONS
 PART OF A PLOT
Head of Philadelphia Police Believes They Are Work
 of Terr0ristS.

Philadelphia, Jan. 1.---Despite tho extraordinary measures taken by both the local and federal authorities to apprehend the perpetrators of the bomb outrages at the home of three prominent Philadelphians on Monday night. only one arrest had been made up to early today. The prisoner a well known radical of this city, de nied any connection with the eXplo- sions He is being held for further Investigation.
 Every possible clue and theory is being run out by the authorities. De- tails of police, detectives and depart ment of pustice agents are conducting systematic investigation of every club or organization in the city from which pactfists, anti-draft Socialists or Industrial Workers of the World propaganda is circulated. A canvass of the city also will be made to as certain the character of meetings held in different sections recently by or ganizations known as the Deputies of Russia Soviet Colonies of Philadel- ! phia and VicinftF." and the All Rus ! sia Soviets Committee of America" IThe Socialist headquarters here were raided yesterday and @ large quantity of literature seized. No arrests were made
 William B. Mills, acting superin- tendent of police, whose home was damaged by one of the explosions said the next AS hours would bring 1 important developments. "We can then tell" he said. "whether this is really a deep-laid plot by the radicals to spread terror or whether it is the work of some misguided crank. Per- sonaIly, I think from our investiSa- tion so far, that it is real Russian Bolskevildsm spreading throughout this country through connection with foreign Soviets and Workmen's Coun- cils Every agitator in this city will have to give a complete account of his doings Monday night"
 Mills said it had been established that the bombs had been set off by a time fuse and that the same person could not have placed the three in such widely separated sections of, the city. He added that he was convinced that four motor cars were used by those responsible for the outrage.
 James T. Cortelyou, chief postal in spector, said that he had been warned by a former convict several hours be- fore the first bomb exploded that an attempt would be made to blow up the federal building.
 The warning came by telephone he said, from a man who considered him. self under obligations to the inspec- tor He declared he was convinced the man was in the confidence of per sons engaged in a bombing plot and he immediately placed extra guards
 around the post office, the custom
 house and the mint. His informant
 MT Cortelyou said, did not mention
 anything about blowing up the homes
 of Justice von Moschzisker, Ernest T
 Trigg and Acting Superintendent

 MT. Cortelyou believes the explo-
 sions were planned as part of ar

 "The difference in views" it con tinues, 'is palpably acute and cannot be glossed over. It is better not to gloss it over but to face it and to have our differences"
