SHIPS Merchant Vessel From Ital ian Port Reports Battle With German Raider ESCAPED TORPEDO AN" AMnniCAN PORT, June 23 A Ger mnn submarine may havo been destroyed by an American ship which arrived here today from an Italian port, AVhen tho vessel was ono day out of port on her vojage sho was attacked by a sub marine, which fired a torpedo. Dy skillful handling the captain ot the ship avoided the torpedo nnd brought tho stern gun Into position for firing. Threo shots were fired. The first struck tho water within two feet of tho U-boat, tho second struck nnd carried nway the per'tHcope and the third struck tho water whero tho submarine had Just submerged. A French cruiser, attracted by tho firing, also shelled tho water where tho submarine was going down. The submarine was about 500 yards from tho merchant ship when the attack was made. A thrlllng account of a fight with a submarine was given by one of the crew of nn American steamship which recently arrived from-a port on the British west const. In tho battlo sho was hit by a torpedo, which, failed to explode, and In turn twlco struck the -U-boat with shells', apparently sinking the craft. Tho eyewitness said: "A British ship sent a signal of distress, on Juno 4. which wo picked up. Sho reported sho was nt tacked by a submatlue. Tho ship was exchanging shots with tho submarine for about half an hour, when they reported tho submarine had submerged. "Another British vessel reported sho was being attacked by a submarine. . Sho was lighting at closo range. After twenty min utes of hard fighting the submarine again submerged and tho vessel wirelessed sho was O. It. nnd not damaged. "We were on a zigzag course nnd mak ing full speed, when the lookout sighted a lifeboat. Wo steered to see what was In it. Uwas empty. "About twenty minutes after passing tho empty lifeboat, or about 6.30 o'clock p. in , ship's time, cno of the gunners sighted a torpedo headed straight for us.

Drafting of 625,000 men for the national army will be conducted entirely In Wash ington, according to tho conscription regu lations approved by the President, which will bo made public next week. In tho United States there are apprxol mately 4000 registration districts. In each there Is a separate series of registration numbers beginning with No. 1. When the drawings begin, probably early In July, a board In Washington will select a number through the Jury wheel or other lottery system. That nuiftoer will bo tele graphed to each registration district and all the men on the registration lists 'who have that number will bo called. It will bo up to each man Individually to ascertain whether he- ls selected. He will not be required to report until a general summons ls Issued for all drafted men to come forward for examination. At that time ho will have opportunity, If he de&lres exemption, to present his case to the local exemption boards. It will have power to decide physical exemptions and excuses based on dependent families. Occupational exemption must bo heard by the appellate boards. If a drafted man desires, he can appeal to a national exemption board which tho regulations create.and which ls the supreme court of exemptions. To make sure that po eliglbles escape, the names and numbers of drafted men will be made public. Original registration lists are also being made public so "slackers" may bo detected by their neighbor when their names fall to appear on the list. Wclls-Fargo Agent Killed WILMINGTON, Del., June 23.

"BIG FOUR" TO RUN U.S. WAR COUNCIL Defense Board Will Be Re organized to Obtain Greater Efficiency WIDEST POWERS GRANTED WASHINGTON. June 23. The Council of National Defense "very shortly" will be reorganized on a four-man basis, as has been forecast previously in dispatches. This was stated officially todny by a member of the President's Cabinet. Tentative plans call for one man, head of a war Industry committee, to direct and be held solely responsible for all rail road and Industrial work; another will be director of all work In connection with purchase and dlssemlnntlon of all raw ma terials; a third will bo director of pur chase and dissemination nf all finished materials, and tho fourth will be chairman of a general puchaslng board. It is the present plan to havo tho chairman of the purchasing board act as purchasing ngent for tho Allies to eliminate competition nnd obtain lower prices. The four directors are to have widest powers and will carry on the work them selves under tho authorization of tho six Cabinet members now on tho board. Under them will be Bmaller volunteer committees, each reporting directly to one of the four men. Each committee will be organlzed'for some specific work and be held responsible for that pari, Instead of being organized and then expected to hunt their own work as under the present plnn. One of the biggest duties of tho "big four" war board will be to find tho basis of cost of at materials used by tho Government and to establish that basis for everybody, private Individuals as well as the Govern ment, ns opposed to the present plnn of get ting the lowest possible price for tho Gov ernment and allowing prlvato Individuals to look after themselves. In answer to tho objections that this plan might glvo too much power to certain Indi viduals, the Cabinet official stated that it would be absolutely necessary If the United States was to be successful In the war.

Our Phils upset the dope this afternoon wwhen they Jumped all over the Muggsyless Giants, ruined three perfectly good pitchers and at the end of the sixth frame were leading by the scoro of 8 to 2. And that was not all. Up to this memorable, to say nothing of eventful afternoon, Ferdinand Schupp, the portslde dinger of the Giants, was monarch of all he surveyed. He had bowled over his opponents like an expert smashing ten pins and possessed a record of eight stralgn victories. Ferdy won five straight last year, and this season his eight starts re sulted in victories. But the scene changed today, as they say at Camp Regardless. Mr. Schupp went on the mound to make the Phils roll over and play dead, ns usual, and was as effective as a guy trying to swipe tho City Hall. He was with us for one inning only, and during that time did wonderful work for the, Phils. He was flying signals of dis tress at the end of the round, and Acting Manager Herzog mercifully chased him oft the lot before he sank for the third time. Ferdle's aim was so good that he hit an alien batter almost every time he threw the ball, This happened after two were down and Stock ha,d drawn a walk. Gavvy Cravath sent Milton home with a double against the center-field wall, and the noted slugger rode to the plate on another two bagger which bounced off Whitted's bat. Ludy walked and Nlehoff splashed a double to the scoreboard, scorging "Gawge." Klllefer's single counted Ludy, and, to make the rout complete, Jimmy Lavender doubled to center, clearing the sacks. This waa the first long hit the twlrler Continued on re Two, Column Six GERMANS FAIL TO GAIN AS BIG DRIVE STARTS General Counter-Opposition Directed Against Aisne and Champagne Lines HEAVY LOSSES SUFFERED PARIS, Juno 23. Germany's assault against the French lines reached the stage of a general counter-offensive movement today, wlthj violent fighting around Vauxhalllon, Kllaln Ilpyler, Krcldmont, Chevlgny. Chevraux and other points Tho French olllclal statement today declared tho Attack was everywhere fruit- "Violent night bombardments were fol lowed by a Borles of enemy atacks In the regions whero there has been muchjlghtlng recently, near Vauxhalllon and south and southeast of Fllaln," the statement said. "All were fruitless, nnd we Inflicted heavy losses on tho cnciny." "Between Rolyer and Froldmont the struggle was of the sharpest character. Tho enemy extended his front attack east from Chevlgny to north of Froldmont in the form of multiplied efforts. This was tho same section In which ho failed last evening In the latest attack the waves of tho assault were broken up by our flro, and tho enemy wns unablo to reach our lines or debouch from the salient whero he penetrated yesterday. "Other attacks east of Chevreux, Cava liers de Courcy and Chambrettes failed. "French raids at various points were suc cessful." For nearly a week now tho Germans havo apparently been preparing for a power ful drive In tho region where the French forces In their great offensive encroached close to Laon. Tho fighting "has been ex tending over nearly eighteen miles to this front. Three dnys ago the Germans began making powerful drives nt various points where the French commanded the higher ground Today, apparently, these scattered attacks havo been consolidated Into a co ordinated general drive. U. S. FORCES Tp HOLD FOUR-MILE FRONT WAHHINOTON. Juno 23. American expedtt!6nary forces on the French firing line may occupy a position be tween the British And French sector. At first. It Is Istlmated, the American expedition will occupy only about four miles of trenches. From ofllclnl sources It became known today that the French mission to this coun try had recommended such a position for Pershing's troops. At present General Pershing Is conferring with General Petaln upon the exact point In tho 350-mllo front that the Americans aro to hold. Officials of tho War Depart ment said tho exact location was not known. In official qunrters it was pointed out that the American forces would necessarily be placed either at tho extreme right near Switzerland or nt tho extreme left near the tea, or between the French nnd British. Such a position would Insuro an Independent lino of communication and supply To break Into the French or British sectors with the American forces would entail end less confusion In supply lines 4 MORE SUFFRAGE PICKETS ARRESTED Mrs. Lewis, Philadelphia Leader, One of Two Taken Near White House OTHERS GO TO CAPITOL WASHINGTON, June 23. Mrs. Lawrence Lewis, of Philadelphia, and Miss Gladys Grelner. of Baltimore, were arrested today for displaying mili tant suffrage banners at the White House gates, despite the warning of the police. Two other women, Miss Mabel Vernon and Miss Mabel Arnold, of Minnesota, were also arrested at tho Capitol when they went there at noon and displayed the banner at tacking President Wilson and Elihu Root as tho Russian Commission, headed by Prof. Boris Bakhmeteff. arrived to appear In tlta House. Miss Lewis and Miss Grelner, carrying one banner, eluded the police guard at their headquarters by slipping through the back door. The moment they appeared before the White House, however, two police women spotted them and called an automobile In which they took the prisoners to police headquarters. The Inscription on the banner was a quotation from President Wilson's new freedom speech. It read: "We of the United States are Interested only In human liberty." Tne women were charged with violation of sections 5 and 6 of, the police regulations against unlawful assemblies obstructing traffic. They were permitted to depart.

' parliamentarians See Little &t nope ior oaius Bill MUST HAVE PRECEDENCE Any House Member Could Put It Far Down on Calendar The statement by Speaker Baldwin, of the State House of Representatives, thnt he would rule out of order any motion In the House on Monday to force tho Salus transit bill out of committee by discharging the Judiciary Special Committee to Mrhlch It was referred, haa been entirely misun derstood, according to legislative experts here today. Instead of revealing another angle of the plan to kill tho bill, Mr Baldwin's state ment, they said, merely outlined the parlia mentary procedure which would have to b followed In case tho committee should re fuse to report out the bill of Its own accord and an effort should bo made to force (jut the bill by discharging the committee. The entire statement of the Speaker, It was said, was based upon the assumption that the committee would decline to report back the bill. Chairman Isidore Stern who handed the bill to Max Aron Just be fore the latter carried It to this city, ha given assurances, however, that his com mittee will report the bill favorably. There are two ways In which a bill may be brought out of committee, It was ex plained today. The first Is to report the bill on the floor of the House. This can be done with the Salus bill on Monday night and the bill can then be called up Imme diately for first reading, provided no one offers, objections and there ls unanimous consent to the bill's taking priority over other measures technically ahead of It oa the calendar. OND MAN CAN BEAT IT An objection from a single member of th House Is sufficient to keep tho bill In com mittee, however, until It reaches the regular place In tho calendar. And If such an objection ls offered to the Salus bill Its place will be so far down the calendar that any action upon It before tho Legislature adjourns on noon Thursday will be Im possible. The second way by which a bill may be brought out of committee Is to pass a mo tion to discharge the committee from further consideration of the bill, whereupon the bill automatically comes before the House. It was of this method that Speaker Baldwin was talking when he said he would be compelled to rule out of order any such motion as affecting the Salus bill. The Speaker's point was that a bill roust b In a committee ten days before a motion to discharge tho committee from further con sideration of It will bo In order. The (alus bill went Into tho House committee on Thursday last, June 21. According to tha Speaker, a motion to discharge the com mittee will not bo In order before July 1. But four days earlier, June 28. the Legis lature will havo adjourned. Consequently, by that method, the bill will still be In com mittee, therefore killed, when the session of 1917 has gone Into history. The question of discharging the commit tee, as raised by tho Speaker, will be a very serious one, for tho reason that the commit tee has not yet met to consider whether or not to report the bill out or to keep it In. HOW HE WILL RULE The ru'o. said the Speaker, under which ho will make his ruling. Is as follows: That after a bill has been ten days. In the hands of a committee, after "having been referred to it, a vote of sixty mem bers shall bo sufficient to discharge the commltteo from a further consideration of IC As Mr. Baldwin frtnkly pointed out, thi rule does not specifically say that the bill must have been In the committee ten days before a motion to discharge Is In order. n:l he said the first clause says so in directly.
