Requires Time to Check Up. It has been explained at the de- partment that the daily lists sent by General Pershing are issued with bark. After heavy actions, such as that at Cantigny, it requires several days to check up the casualties and able them to the department. American troops have been in lhei " irenches several months and now hold ors at several points. along - the western front. In addition, many A\merican units are brigaded with the French and British and have been in heavy fighting since the German drive in March. General Pershing’s men first went into the front line last November for training and soon after- wards they took cver a trench sector permanent! Other units went into e trenches for final training with the Irench later and finally took over sec- tors so that the total frontage now held by the Americans ranks second to that | of the French and British armies. 291 Men Lost at Sea. The 291 men listed as having been lost at sea went down with the tor- pedoed British troop ship Tuscania and the torpedoed American transport The latter was sunk while returning to America, but the Tus- cania was sent down while carrying nearly 3,000 men to England. More American soldiers have died abroad from disease than have fallen in battle. while those who have died from accidents and other causes out- number those who have succumbed to wounds. Many of the deaths from accidents were among men training for the air service LARGEST CASUALTY LIST THUS FAR REPORTED Thirty-three Men Were Killed in Ac- tion and Nine Died of Wounds.

GERMAN CONTROL OF THE ' ‘TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY Is Being Negotiated for as Far East as Irkutsk. Moscow, Friday, May 31—(By the A. P.).—Reports having reached Moscow from Stoikholm by way of Paris that negbtiations had begun regarding German rontrol of the Trans-Siberian railway as far east as Irkutsk, an of- firial statement was issued here today declaring them to be untrue. It is said that the statements emanating from Stockholm are pure inventions. “No negotiations in connection with transfer of the Trans-Siberian railway to the Germans have taken place, nor has any derhand or proposal been made by the German government,” says the statement. “The Stockholm message originated in Russian counter revolutionary circles which are de~ sirous of forcing the allies to adopt a more peremptory attitude toward Rus- sia.” THREE MEN OF COAST _ PATROL AIRSHIP PICKED UP From Their Helpless Craft Ten Miles at Sea. Chatham. Mass June 9.—The crew of three men of a coast patrol dirigible airship were landed here today by a coast patrol boat after they had been picked up from their helpless craft ten miles at sea. The-airship in returning to its hangar from a flight last night. hit a telephone pole snapping its rud- der and leaving it helpless. Before the pilot could bring the airship down. an off shore breeze swept her out to sea. One of the coast patrol boats was notified and started in pursuit but lost | sight of the airship in the dark. After a search of several hours it came upon the balloon resting on the surface of the sea with the three men perched safely on top of the bag. After tak- ing off the crew the coast patrol boat arranged with a steam trawler to tow the disabled dirigible to port.

Marine corps’ casualty are issued separately from those of the army and no reports have yet come on the killed and wounded among the marines who have been engaged in heavy fighting near Chateau Thierry. Up to that fighting the marine corps casualties had been very low, as they were only recently moved up to the front line, having previously been engaged in police work along the American lines. Considering the number of Ameri- cans actually in_the front lines and the length of time they have been “carrying on,” officers do not regard the total of casualties as large. The number of men actually killed in ac- tion so far reported to the department is. 742, while of the more than 4,000 wounded only 310 have died from their wounds.

Millions of persons will pay income taxes for the first time. A Huge Task. As an indication of the huge task imposed cn the internal revenue ma- chinery of the government with its 64 collecting “districts, it is recalled that last year only 780,000 income tax pay- ments were made under a former law and $809,000,000 was received on in- comes.

The certificates are nct re- deemable until June 25, but the treas- ury has urged corporations and banks to turn them in this week to »#oid disturbing the & distribution of mon- |ev. MILITARY DICTATORSHIP IN ALSACE-LORRAINE PENOUNCED In“the Reichstag By Hermann Wedel, Sosialist. : Amsterdam, June 9,—The military dictatorship in Alsace-Loraine was de- nounced in the Reichstag yesterday by Hermann Wedel, socialist deputy. He said four fifths of the population | was strongly pro-German when the war began but that now conditions were entirely reversed. Deputy Waldstein, progressive, cor- | roborated Herr Wendel's statement. General von Wrisberg stated that only two persons in Alsace-Lorance had been imprisoned under the war emergency law. Herr Waldstein interrupted him, | shouting: “Hundreds”—Adolf Gueber, Centerist, said that unfortunately the wishes of the Reichstag regarding the repatriation of deported residents of Alsace-Lorraine had not been fulfilled. adding that permanent banishment of these persons from their homes went beyond the necessities of the war. Herr Hause, a deputy from -Alsace, said that persons acquitted by mil tary courts after having omce been banished had again been sent away in disregard of the law. He declared | there was no doubt discontent prevail- ed in Alsace, but added that if the Reichstag did its duty this feeling would vanish. Bernard Boehle, Socialist . deputy said silence on the part of the Reich- stag would mean compliance in the oppression of the Alsatians. AMERICAN STEAMER SUNK 70 MILES OFF MARYLAND. Captain and 17 Members of Crew of Pinar del Rio Are Missing. Washington, June 9.—The American steamer Pinar del Rio was sunk by a German submarine miles off the coast of Maryland yesterday morning. One of her boats, with the captain and 17 members of the crew, is missing: another, with 16 men, has landed on the Virginia coast. A brief despatch to the navy depart- ment tonight announcing the sinking did not say whether the ship was shelled or torpedoed. Hope is held that the missing boat either had been picked up by some passing vessel or will turn up at some point along the coast. Until : tonight the raiders had not heen reported as showing themselves since the Norwegian steamer Vinland was sunk off the Virginia capes last Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, The Pinar del Rio was a freighter of 2,504 gfoss tons and was built in South Shields, England, in 1895. being christened the Saba. She was bought by an American firm some time ago and placed under American register. It is presumed she was cn3aged either in the coastwise or West Indian trade.

In response to command shouted from the deck of the raider. the crew of 25 men tumbled into thei: small boats without pausi even to drov their sails. Th ed up within casy talking di the submarine and the German com- mander asked them the name of the shin and cargo. Cantain_Gonsalves told him and sdded “For God's sake, captain. don’t sink this vessel. T am a noor man and it will ruin me. P'm the owner of her.” “Don't you know that it's a poor time to buy vessel pronerty when peo- ple are at war?” the German retorted. “T bought this craft hefore the war,” Cantain Gonsalves said Just then the German caught sight of the Swift and asked Captain Gon- salves if he knew what she w When informed that she was also whaler the German s: “You get aboard your vessel. and zet home as quick as you can and tell the other vessel to-go with vou and don’t let me catch you out this way again.” Captain Gonsalves was only too rlad |0 Abey and the whaler's men hurried bac) aboard their ship and cracked on all sail to hasten away from the vi- cinity least the submarine’s skipper experience a sudden change to heart.

The paper points out further that the German authorities always had said a paddle boat was clear! by submarines owing to the peculian sound it makes. The paper makes it clear that in its operation the inci- dent calls for speedy action on the part of the German government.
