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.
