WEARING OUT SUBMARINES Requires' Only Little Time to Come Into Full Effect, Says 4 Writer. London, May 26.-The Westminster Gqsette published a message from a correspondent, who says the subma rine menace is being mastered by a simple method, which the correspond ent indicates is the invention of an American. "It is giving away no secret," the ,correspondent writes, "to say that the method which is reputed to be nuunn S4 Trd.Ms infallible, requires only a little time to come into full effect and wear the German submarines out. It is a model of simplicity. The press has been liberal in its announcement. of Marconi's device, but while extending encouragement to Marconi, it must not be overlooked that the genius who perfected one of the most monumental advances in maritime navigation has dedted his unremitting consideration to the menace and this resourceful American, too, has worked toward the device along independent lines." Asserting that the British have bet ter submarines than the permans, the message continues: "Only a little time is needed for, our preeminent inventive brains to out strip the pirate professors and by a method which is simplicity itself we have already the lift of the U-boat campaign measured." Considering Devices. Washington, May 26.-The naval consulting board held another meet ing here today going over suggestion for anti-submarine devices. No an. nouncement was made. Guglielmo Marconi, here with the Italian war mission, was to have ap peared before the board today, but was ill. He expects to accept the board's invitation to address its next meeting. Peculiar interest attaches to the invitation because of published reports that Signor Marconi has dis covered an effective way of dealing with submarines. He has indicated to American naval officials, however, that the reports were unauthorized and his appearance before the board probably will be in connection with radio telegraphy or kindred subjects. Proposes Wholesale Sinking. London, May 26.-The intention of the German 'Government to sink all Entente hospieal ships in the entire "barred zone" with the exception of certain ships from Saloniki to Gibral tar is semi-officially announced in Berlin, according to a Reuter dis patch from Amsterdam. The Ger man announcement was made in ref erence to British denials of the Ger man allegations that the British mis used hospital ships. It cited several instances, which, it was asserted, proved the correctness of the German accusation. To Cure a Cold In One Day Take LAXATIVIE BROMO Quinine.

Germany, the announcement adds, will allow the transport of the ill and wounded from Saloniki on Greek rail ways to Kalamata harbor and thence on hospital ships to Gibraltar on the following conditions: "Firstly. These hospital ships on the road left open to Greek shipping must proceed at a rate of speed pre. viously reported to the German Gov ernment. "Secondly.

Washington, May 28.-Without a roll call the Lever bill for a food sur vey was passed by the house today. The bill allows the secretary of agri culture to spend $14,522,000 for a food survey and stimulation of production. The senate has yet to pass the meas ure. Today by a vote of 35 to 34 that body cut down an appropriation of $4,500,000 in the Gore-Lever food sur vey bill for the eradication of diseases and pests of cattle to $825,000. Fur ther efforts will be 'made to cut down other appropriations before the bill comes up for a final vote, probably to morrow. Penalties. Senator Poindexter's bill providing three years' imprisonment for persons in interstate or foreign commerce at tempting to corner food or fuel, was reported favorably by the senate ju diciary committee this afternoon. An attempt will be made to tack the bill to the pending food survey bill. Two or three weeks. is the limit set by Secretary Houston. for taking of the food census. Another point emphasized by Secre tary Houston was that there seemed to be a popular misconception as to the cost of taking the food census. Half a million dollars is the high water mark, because most of the ma chinery for making a food survey is part of the Department of Agricul ture's organization. In the taking of the census, postmasters, state food organizations and 'other local agencies will be employed. Conserve Seed. The total appropriation asked by the Department of Agriculture is made up ofamany items. One of them as passed in the house bill is $5,778, 000 for conserving next year's seed supp)lies. The department is author izedl to purchase seed if necessary and sell or distribute as circumstances de. mand. Other big items provide for fighting plant and animal diseases and the increased activities of the various bureaus. ,Although Secretary Houston's esti mates of $18,500,000 were cut to $14, 522,006i, $2,800,000 wvas contained in items which wvould not materially af fect the work of the department. Explaining how the Department of Agriculture could take a food census so quickly and at such a~ small cost, Secretary Houston recalled that the department has 150,000 "reporters' who colect the data for the various crop estimates. These men are locat edl in every section of the country and will be one of the greatest aids in determining jiust what food, stocks there arc in every section. HIERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY.

North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi, 'Florida, Arkansas and Lou isiana are the states expected to pro duce this quota and, because of the at tractive pay and the practicability of the work, it is hoped that the desired men will be produced in that order. The pay ranges from $33 to $51 a month, in addition to subsistence, clothing and medical attention; the grades range from that of first class privates to sergeants, first class ac cording to qualifications-and there is a 20 per cent increase of pay in the event of being sent abroad to serve.

C. o GERMANY RUSHES AID TO AUSTRIA FROM EAST "Across the Prostrate Body of the Iapsburg Empire" Now Aim of the Entente Allies. Russia Shows Fight Again by Start ing Artillery Bombardment, Says Vienna. ILondon, May 28.-"Across the pros trate body of the Hapsburg Empire leads the road to final victory." An eminent military critic thus commented this evening on the day's news from the Austro-Italian front, recording new smashing advances by Cardona's- armies, especially his right wing, toward Trieste. Judging by reports pouring in from all sides it seemed that this comment strikingly sums up the situation as created by the Italian drive and its consequence. At the recent confer ence between Premier Lloyd-George and Frnch and Italian statesmen in southern France, it is rumored the plan now being executed was decided ly upon: The crushing of Austria Hungary. Hammering Away. Two weeks ago Cardona struck. He followed blow with blow until now his offensive has developed into a "hounding process," with hammer strokes alternating swiftly, unceas ingly. From the far-flung Russia battle front the Austrian high com mand has drawn every available man to fill the gaps on the Isonzo. Sixty thousand men, in dead, wounded and missing, is the Austrian toll up to date front dispatches estimated today. And still troop trains are hurrying at top speed from the Russian to the Italian front. Every day as the Ital ians register new gains the "impera tive" number in the east is reduced and the Galacian front is stripped of an additional few thousands. And in the midst of this terrific strain on the dual monarchy the Rus sians suddenly are beginning to show fight. 'T'here were strong signs today that the Muscovites are about to join in the houndering process. Vienna's official bulletin opened thus: Heavy Fire. "There was heavy Russian artillery fire in lahces which we answered." As for A ustria's side of the lsonzo story, it cont inu~es to be told in a highly confIiden t tenor. ''The A us trian dlefenses,'" saidl the Vienna wvar office todlay, "remains unbroken. More than 13,000 Italians havec been cap turedl since the beginning of the bat tIe." But '"On to Tirieste"' continues the battle cry~ of King Victor Emanuel's armies and on to Trieste they are moving, mile by mile, day by day. Specific mention is made by the Romie wgr office of every village captured, every height or hillock stormed, and those gains, military exp~erts here em phasize, cannot be explained( away. Last night and toda~y, Cardona's forces made further strides along the Adriatic littoral. They crossed the Timavo river in a (lashing run and did not stop) until they wvere masters of the important village of San Gio. banni, slightly northwest of the wvat ering place, D~uimo, which thus be comes untenable. Nine l149 millimeter guns "of recent pattern and in ex.. cellent condition," wvere snatched from the retreating Austrians. Further north below Jamiamo, they stormed a series of powerfully fortified posi tions. Meanwhile Conrad von Hlostzen dorff is striking back hard, but so far without avail, in the Gorizia area. In one counter thrust yesterday his troops managed to gain a fothold In the Italian lines, only to be driven out again, however. Fierce fighting continues ,all along the front. The Beauty Secret.

Paris asersts officially that each thrust glanced off the French wall of steel and flame, the Teutons receding and losing heavily. Berlin announced capture of French trenches south of the Moronvilliers range and added that vain counter-attacks cost the re public's troops severe losses. Two hundred and fifty prisoners were taken, the German war office reported. Special mention is made in today's French communique of strong Teuton artillery activity on the Verdum front around the two key heights west of the Meuse, "dead man's hill," and "hill 304." Flyers were bu::y in the west yes terday. French machines dropped 15,400 pounds of projectiles upon works behind the Germon lines. Nine German machines were brought down tad two others compelled to land. The Germans claim to have shot down welve entente machines and two cap ive balloons. On the Anglo-German front the situation continues comparatively luiet.
