SHIP ARMED FOR DEFENSE OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS Vessel ITomicrly on New York Run Said to Have Been Requisitioned by Italy Otlier Attacks In Mediterranean Cited. LONDON, Auer. 13. The Italian steamship Stampalia, which plies be tween New York and Italian porta has been sunk, eays a dispatch to Lloyds. The Stcmpalia was a passenger liner of 9000 tons gross. In common with other Italian liners Ehe mounted guns for protection from submarines. The last report of her movements was her arrival on June SO at Genoa from New York, so that she apparently was sunk n the return voyage to the United etates. She was commanded by Cap tain Lavarello. The Stampalia had accommodations for about 1700 passengers. The agents In New York of the line said today that two weeks apo they had received a. cable message advising them that all eaiinrs of the steamship had been cancelled. They express the opinion, on this account, that the Stampalia had been requisitioned and was in the service of the Italian Government. In this case, she would have no passen gers on board. Agents Have Bio Report. No word had been received in New York by the agents of the line of the reported sinking of the Stampalia at the time of the arrival of the London press dispatch. The Stampalia first appeared in New York as an armed steamer in Febru ary last, arriving from Genoa with two 8-inch rapid-fire guns mounted on her after deckhouse. Washington was no tified, and on being Informed that the guns were to be used for defensive purposes only, instructed the collector of the Port of New York to grant clearance papers. On arriving at New York on March J4, the Stampalia reported a wireless warning had been received soon after leaving Genoa that a submarine was lying in wait for her off Sardinia. In stead of going north of Sardinia and along the north shore of the Mediter ranean, which before that time had proved the safest route, she went eouth of Sardinia, and through the Straits of Bonifacio, between .Sardinia and Corsica. Several Attacks Reported. Several armed Italian steamships have reported sighting submarines in the Mediterranean, and in some in stances being pursued by them and firing on them. When the Italian steamship Re d'ltalia arrived in New York August 6 from Genoa, her captain reported she bad fired on three submarines in the Mediterranean. The steamship was pursued for seven hours, and passen gers said they believed one of the submarines had been sunk. There has been some increase recently In submarine activity. The naval ex pert of the Paris Temps wrote on Thursday that the German submarine campaign against merchant ships was again in full swing. In accordance with the German note to the United States in February, it was said mer chant ships carrying guns could not be considered as peaceful vessels.

Wire Fencing Across Stream and Trenches Running Into Water PusseU in Night Fire of Doth Sides Is Faced. BY EUGENE T. HURD. AT THE FRONT, Staff Eighth Sibe rian Division. Third Corps, Fourth Army, May 24. It was one ef the mornings that everybody at the front detests. A cold rain had set in during the night and at breakfast time showed no signs of abating. Our division had just finished a se vere drive on the enemy's trenches and we had been rushed through a two days' forced march to a new position. where the next drive was to take place. For the first time in a year we were quartered in a. real house a house that had a floor, the walls were plastered and there was wall paper on them. It was the large country home of a wealthy landowner. I will never forget the look of disrelish that was ex pressed on the owner's face when I explained to him that I was going to become his guest! that I would only occupy 12 of his 14 rooms. Neither do I ever remember of feeling so happy about taking possession of a house. It was not so hard on him, for he still had two rooms for his family to live in, but his servants had to find Shelter in the cellar. Servants Lament Stay. They lamented each day of our stay. The large house was surrounded by several acres of gardens, with cinder walks winding through them. You never see a country home like it inl America. A large fountain in front, with a large gold covered sphere on the top that reflected the rays of the Bun on a bright day, no matter where you stood. Back of the house the gardens sloped down to a creek, where the great oaks,, plainted over 300 years before by hla' forefathers, waved their stately branches. A three minutes' walk through them brought you to the large factory where the potatoes of the surrounding country were made into starch. That is, before the war, but now the factory is silent; only the singing of the soldiers who use it for their night's shelter is heard inside its walls. The large, towering chimney reminds you of the leaning tower at Pisa. Back of the factory is an old mill pond. Turning to your right and fol lowing the winding path to the oppo site ridge of the gulch, you come to the old family vault, made of brick and ris ing in a pyramid 60 feet high. Chapel and Vaults Below. Underneath are the vaults, and on the ground floor is a family chapel. Set into the brick walls at the base of the pyramid are old granite rocks with dates as far back as 1738 chiseled in their faces. If you follow the path past the tomb you pass through an orchard of apple and cherry trees. About the middle of the orchard, facing the gulch, is a tall monument of a recent date. Here" is buried the father of the present owner. He was a good business man during his time and had added a, nice forest to the estate. When he was about to die he requested that he be burted In the forest. His reason was that the rest of the estate was a family heritage which cannot be sold. The forest which he had added could be sold, and he thought if he was buried there his son would not sell it. But the son did sell it and moved his father's body to the present site. On the morning mentioned at the be ginning we had just finished breakfast. The sisters were looking out of the windows at the park, longing for it to clear up so they could go for a walk, when in walked the most forlorn look ing Russian soldier f had ever seen. Soldier Is in Bad Shape. His clothes, face and hands were covered with mud and blood. His uni form was in rags. He looked as though he was taking Dr. Lena Hag' gard's treatment, "the fast cure." He wished something to eat. Be tween gulps we got from him the fol lowing story: A few weeks before at the begin ning of Spring he had been captured with a few comrades while digging an advanced trench, and taken to Wilno, After a few days In Wilno he had been put in with a large bunch of prisoners who were being sent back to the front to dig reserve trenches. He told of how for 38 hours they had been locked in freight cars, that never during that time had they been let out of the cars. At different stops they had begged to be let out for a few minutes, but in each case had been refused. They were so packed that they could not even lie down. The treatment was so cruel, inhuman and merciless that he then and there made up his mind he would rather die trying to escape than to stay. . His op portunity cariie the day before he reached us. It was a raw. wet night. The guards became a little lax. He crawled out of the cave where be was quartered and slipped past his guards. His troubles had only commenced, however. Trenches Hun to Water's Edce. It was about a quarter of a, mile to the German trenches. For several days he had been looking over the ground as he worked. He knew that a creek ran through the lines about half a mile to the north. He worked his way under cover of darkness to this creek. When he came to the line of trenches he found that they came to the water's edge on both sides. In fact, the trenches were so built that the soldiers could got water from the creek without leaving the shelter of their trenches. He crawled Into the cold water and with only his head above the surface worked past the line. However. the Germans had strung their wire fencing across the creek. He cut his face on the wire when he came to it- The wire had been put up when there was ice on the creek. He found that the only way he oould get past was by diving under each line of wire as he came to it. When he reached the Russian wire he found that they had put coils of wire on the ice. and when the ice went out these coils had settled to the bottom. Both the Germans and Rus sians were shooting up rockets every few minutes. The lines were eo close together that he knew either side would shoot him if he were seen. For over two hours he worked and floundered in the water before he finally got clear and into the Russian trenches. Here he was given tea, and as they had no food at that hour he was sent back to us.

(Special.) Despite the efforts of the State Public Service' Commission and the declara tions of the Southern Pacific Railroad, the car shortage today is scarcely less acute than it was a week ago. That the situation is peculiar to Oregon is shown by a letter received today from the Washington Public Service Commission. The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul. the Great Northern, O.-W. It. & N. Com pany and other lines report to the Washington Commission that they have cars in excess of the demand and look for no trouble in taking care of shippers. Meanwhile, complaints continue to pour into the Oregon Commission. The Henry D. Davis Lumber Company, or Portland, today informed the Commis sion that, as wholesalers, they are un able to get lumber from the mills ana docks because of the car shortage, and that orders are being canceled by cus tomers because of non-delivery. The Klamath Manufacturing Com pany has asked the Commission to do something to relieve the situation or advise it as to the proper method of seeking redress from the Yailroad.

Discrimination is charged by the Mo hawk Woodyard. of Eugene, which asserts that, while it has had orders with the railroad for one car dally for 10 days, it Is unable to get rolling stock. As a consequence, orders have been canceled and partly filled eon tracts which will expire September 1 are in danger of being annulled.
