HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH SHIP DISTANCES U-BOAT OFF THE I VIRGINIA COAST Passengers Grouped Near the Lifeboats While Vessel Is Pursued by Raider An Atlantic Port, June 7. —In a! I three hour stern chase off the Vir-' i sinla coast, a steamship from South ! j American ports out-raced a Ger ; man submarine early Friday morn- I ing, according to officers and pas sengers of the vessel, which docked , here yesterday. A light, close to the water, was sighted in waters near where the Norwegian bapk Samoa was sunk by a Teuton raider six hours later as an nounced to-day by the Navy De partment. The ship turned about, and with her engines driving at full i speed, headed toward mid-ocean, i while the low-lying light followed. The liner's captain, confident the pursuing craft was a U-boat, or dered all passengers on deck and equipped them with lifebelts. The j boats were swung overside, and the women and children grouped near i them. For three hours, the passengers ! said, the unseen ship, with its single ■ linht. trailed the speeding liner. 1 When it dropped steadily astern and finally disappeared, the captain zig zagged his vessel back to its former 1 course. A 1,„ otAnn , B l,i n nR „ Aboard the steamship was an at tache of the American transport scrvic-e who was on the New York ai\d Porto Riean liner Brazos when that vessel received a wireless call for help from her companion ship, the Carolina, which was sunk June 2 by a submarine. The Brazos, he declared, put on all steam, drafting every able-bodied man in the ship's company for furnace room duty, and raced for a Porto Rican port.

"HOLD AT ANY COST," WORD TO ITALIAN ARMY Austrians Use Gas and Special Liquid Bombs on Front of 117 Miles Italian Headquarters In Northern Italy, June 16. (.Delayed).—"Hold at any cost," Is the word that has been passed to the Italian troops as the Austrian offensive appears to de velop all along the line of 117 miles with the.use of gas and special liquid bombs and every other means of at | tack to weaken the defenses. I The long comparative silence by | the Austrians was broken precisely at | 3.05 o'clock yesterday morning by a I violent cannonade, the sounds of i which reached the cities of Verona. | Vicenza and Venice, all long dis l tance from the front. I While the exact geographic objec tives of the Austrians as yet are con- I Jectunl, It seems evident that their I earliest attack was heaviest against the positions in the upper Brenta River Valley, In the Val Sugana re gion, where the Brenta flows toward Barn no. It is considered possible that Austria is following Field Mar shal Conrad von Hoetzendorf's old j plan of striking at the Italian plains J through the Trentino district. of I which the first classic move consists j in obtaining possession of Val Stagna I Monte Tombe and Monte Grapha, then following the Brenta river to the plains, and then attacking with three columns westerly along the valleys of the rivers Adige and Astlco and also on the Asiago Plateau. Summing up to the situation, It seems to be a renewal of the great battle for Italy's Alps which was left off last November, with the keys to the mightiest fortress of Europe ,held by the Italians, who have spent tho entire winter fortifying with ex traordinary care Val Stagna, Monte Grapha, Monte Tomba and other positions.
