Germany’s air rald Tuesday over -eastern Engiand was a costly one. Of eighteen aircraft which participated in the bomb-dropping excursion, only ten of them got away. From the of o from Belgium across thg Enelish channel, over Bngland, and on the Te- furn trip over the water, the Germane at all times wers hotly engaged by MBritieh aviators. Two mackines of the invading fiotilia were shot down near the British coast after bombs bad been dropped killing 13 persons and wounding 35 others. The other 18 planes were given battle high over the water by 10 naval airmen, Who destroyed two more and sent hurtling down into the sea four others.

America’s sreat gain of gold which has grown with aimost every month for two and one-half years has ceased. Gold im- portations have stopped altogether and the flow has begun the other way with indications that it will continue in comparatively small volume for some time. The turning of the tide comes at a time when the country apparently faces the greatest industrial period of its history, greater, officials believe, than the past twelve months, which witnessed the establishment of a $6,- 000,000,000 record for American ex- ports. ' Plans now under consideration call for an outpouring of approximate- ly $6,000,000,000 a vear of exports to entente nations alone and if American flelds and factories are equal to the task of meeting demand, the total ex- ports will be swollen hundreds of mil- lions beyond the fizures Cessation of gold imports to settle trade balances, when trade balances are heavier than ever before, accord- ing to foreign buyers, is a novelty in American finance. On the whole it is regarded as a heavy development, as further accretions misht tend toward inflation. All foreign purchases will be paid for, of course, but in a differ- ent form, the payment being made by money furnished the buyers by the United States and obtalned by flota- tion of bond issues, With ithe Bstablishment of these credits, it is expected. the entente gov- ernments, who have bought the bulk of American exports, have found it unnecessary to continue sending gold to settle trade balances. They will {send their bonds, instead, to secure the credits advanced them. $200,0000€0 IN TREASURY CERTIFICATES OVERSUBSCRIBED Offering of a Like Within Six Weeks. Washinkton, June 6.—For the third time within six weeks an offering of $200,000,000 in treasury certificates of indebtedness convertible into liberty loan bonds and bearing a lower in- terest rate than the bond fssue tself, has been heavily over-subscribed. The entire offering, which brings the to- tal of outstanding certificates issued under the war revenue bill up to ap- proximately $870,000,000, was placed through the federal reserve banks. The extent of over-subscription of the latest issue has not yet been as. certained, but estimates place it as high as one-third. The last issue was over-subscribed approximately forty per cent. Because of the quick response, the subscription books e closed toda~, ahead of time. The issue was offered June 1. The certaificates hear 3 1-4 per cent. interest and mature July 30, ithe date of the second installment on fthe liberty loan subscriptions. An- other issue of $260,000,000 of certifi- cates probably will be offered within the next ten days. Reports of subscriptions to the 1ib- erty loan today showed gratifying progress, but indicated that much had to be accomplished vet to bring the huge over-subscription which officials bope will signalize America’s first ‘war bonds.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS IN ARLINGTON CEMETERY Held Memorial Exercises—Will Be Reviewed by President Wilson Today. Washington. June 6.—Memorfal ex- ercises for the soldier dead in the Conferedate section of Arlington Na- tional Cemetery featured ‘today's pro- gramme of the United Confederate Veterans’ reunion. Sons of veterans and daughters of the Confederacy par- ticipated. Bishop Collins Denny of Richmona, Va., paid a tribute to the women of the’ south, through whose efforts the memorial shaft was erected and to the generosity of the nation In so readily meeting the request for placing the ‘monument in Arlington. Bmphasizing the spirit of fraterni- ty and unity existing now between the sections, Bishop Denny said: “This monument is the seal of a fraternal umion. America is unfted. Ths vounz men of today will remem- ber the heroism of their fathers and are readv to sacrific thelr all for the Stars and Stripes.” Survivers of the famous ralders held a ‘meeting today formed a permanent organization.

The British Port Base of the Amer- ican Flotilla, via London, June 6, 6.40 p. m—The American destrovers have completed their first month of active service In the sreat war. They have been favored with excellent weather which is a big factor in anti-subma- rine warfare. Most of the time they bave had sunny skies and smooth seas with just enough squall and storm to put their seamanship to test. The fa- vorable weather conditions made their task of learninz the technique of anti- submarine warfare much simpler ‘and easier. Working With British Squadrons. The American boats are assigned to work hand in hand with the Brit- ish squadrons, beinz virtually assimi- lated into the British naval machin- ery here. A destroyer is usually out for four or five days and then re- turns to port for two or three days while coaling and loading - supplies. Thus every American steamer gets at least half a day shore leave practi- cally every week. Patrol and Convey Work. The Americans take their turn with the British boats in all routine work of patrol and convoy. The work, al- though largely routine, is interesting and the Americans have never yet found time hanging heavy on thelr hands. The Jookout must be constant and eves must be trained to an un- believable degree of keenness. The young Americans take zealously to this business of finding the periscopic needle in the nautical haystack and daily reports of submarines sighted, of observations made, of wireless warnings sent broadcast, show that the American boats are already mak- ing an average of results almost as satisfactory as the long experienced British boats with which they are op- erating. No Actual Battle Yet. There has been no actual battle as yet between an 'American destroyer and the enemy, although several re- ports show that U-boats have been wighted and have been compelled to beat a hasty retreat to the depths of the sea. o An assignment to convoy a liner “from home,” that is, from an Amer- ican port, is regarded as an especially choice morsel. A trans-Atlantic liner which sights the American flag ap- proaching to escort her to land never falls to respond with a great waving of flags and handkerchiefs from her decks, and there is a fine exchangze of wig wag signals in liea of hand- shales. Vigilant Work of Americans. Several American liners can already testify to the vigilant work of tI American destrovers as convoys. Oc- casionally a fortunate liner finds her- self being escorted to port by Amer- ican and British destroyers side by side, circMng about her like twin si: ters, a visible sign of the new al- liance. The American boats were ready for duty the minute they arrived. This was something of a pleasant prise for the British naval mer had Dbeen expected that some ould be necessary for certain tions and fittings, but the A ns had everything in readiness and at once were assigned to work. Shore Leave is Generous. Shore leave is generous on the Amerfcan ships and the American sailor is constantly in evidence in this village, in the countryside roundabout and in'a nearby city, where more me- tropolitan pleasures arc available than in the restricted limits of this little place. The people of/ the towns have taken the American sailor ana his strangely spendthrift ways right into their hearts. The Amerlcan sailor seems always to have money, which is not so strange when it is consid- ered that his rate of pay is cons! erably higher than that of the British tar. Spend Money Freely. “The American gets a dollar every time we get a shilling,” is a common expression among the admirinz Brit- ish seamen. One of the American sail- or's favorite ways of showing his opu- lence is his habit of always traveling first class on the railrond which takes him from the village up to the city, 2 trip of a few miles. The extra cost is only a few pence, but the unheard- of idea of a common sailor travellng first class strikes the populace as a startling and audacious manouevre worthy the best traditions of Ameri- can extravazance.
