t;Has Been Digested,
Geneva, Jon 15. (Z. XT. S.) The
German ' general staff, " becoming
alarmed at the rapidity of the Italian
advance, today dispatched ! 30 troop
trains carrying1 seven divisions of Gar
man veterans, to the Tyrolese front,

this afternoon,
Home, June 15- I. N. S.) Capture
of ttij coveted city of Trieste and re
demption, by Italy of the much-desired
provinces of Iatria and Goritza loomed
large "Hoday in the minds of Romans
when an official - communication de
clared that the Latin armies were
heavily bombarding Kebresina. only
seven miles from Trieste.
Capture of Trieste, it was pointed
out, probably would be epeedily fol
lowed by an Investment and the prob
able reduction of Pola, the great Aus
trian naval depot and arsenal on the
Adriatic. Only one railroad runs down
the Istrian peninsula to Pola and that
is within easy striking distance of
Trieste. - Should that be cut it la de
clared. Italian armies could ; advance
down the peninsula to attack Pola In
the rear and, with the Austrian . fleet
bottled up by Italy's superior sea
power, the great naval base could be
Invested by land and sea. That Pola
could long hold out against such an
attack was today deemed Improbable
and Its f alL with the obliteration of
Austria's sea power, was declared free-
ly to pe iiaiys ooject, wita tne pur
pose of bringing Austria to her knees.
Trentino Invasion a Blind.
In support of this view, attention
was called today to the comparative
inactivity of the Italian armies in the
region -of the Carnic Alps. It is now
believed that the Trentino invasion is
really a. blind, that the Italians' only
design is to secure their frontier from
possibility of any invasion from the
north and V that Italy's whole power
will be bent to the capture of " I stria
and the obliteration of Austrian power
on the Adriatic. '- ; -

San Francisco. June 15.- (TJ. P.)
The discovery of death bugs In doctors'
whiskers; . baldheaded germs in the
schoolrooms ' of the country,' heading
thousands of American boys and girls
on the road to become hairless men and
women, making America a baldheaded
nation; a nose-biting bug lurking n the
gardens and bouquets and dealing dis
eases to flower-lovers and agricultur
iststhese are the new members of the
big family - which, under long Latin
and Greek aliases, made their debut
today at the tenth annual meeting of
the American Society of Tropical Medi
cine at the Panama-Pacific exposition.
In an Interview, Dr. David N. Bo
berg, whom Oregon sent to China to lo
cate new germs, came out with the dec
laration that 1 bearded physicians are
things of the past, and that the doc
tors now realize the Van Dyke, once
badge of the profession,, was really a
germ-carrier from one patient to an
other. '
By dining on the roots of their hair,
a hitherto unidentified germ is driving
the . Americans to the baldheaded row.
according to Dr. Karl Meyer of Cooke's
Institute of Medical Research. "Place
a quietus on this germ or America will
be bald," says Dr. Meyer.
Dr. Horace ; Burr of the American
Medical -association sees in the tetanus
germ, a peril f to '- flower-lovers. This
germ, according to Dr. Burr, makes a
specialty of submarining up one's nose
and there dealing a death bite. It con
forms generally to the shape, of s sub
marine or torpedo, he says, and Its tor
pedo, or bite, i has the same effect on
the human body as & real torpedo 4ias

o'clock proposed the automobile ride.

Przemysl and Lemberg, where the Rus
sians chose to make a stand,, has been
stormed and. captured . by 1 the -'Austro-Germans
under command of General
Marwitz, it was officially announced
today. ,
An official statement from the . ad

marine U-14. The vessel was destroyed
and the ' crew made prisoners by the
British,; It .was stated.
Mosciska Is 18 miles' - east? of
Przemysl and 40 miles from Lemberg.
It was at this point that Petrograd an
nounced the Austro-Germans had suf
fered severe losses last week -when
they were repulsed by the Slav forces.
' The advance from Przemysl along
the railroad leading- to Lemberg was
originally the main line of attack by
the-vigorous Teutonic forces moving
eastward from PrzemysL ,Wlh the
development of - stubborn resistance by
the Germans, attacks to the south and
southeast were pressed with additional
vigor. The southern offensives failed
of any marked success,-however, and
semi-official statements from Petro
grad today announced that the- Austro
Germans were directing an offensive
along a line 40 miles west of Lem
berg. Berlin's statement would ap
pear, to indicate that the Austro-Ger-mans
had recovered from . the initial
defeat and are again striking! with
heavy force.
' The submarine U-14. which the Ger
man admiralty admits to have been
lost, is evidently the vessel Arthur J.
Balfour, first lord of the British ad

plosion Did Not Follow
Torpedoing.
London, June IB. (U. P.) Formal
inquiry into the sinking of the liner
Lusitania : by - a German submarine
with the loss of more than 1000 lives
opened here today. Sir Edward Car
son,) as attorney general representing
the i board of trade, called the men
manning the German vessel "murderers-who
violated every law of human
ity" in his opening address. .He de
nied that the Lusitania was armed or
that the vessel was transporting
troops. The liner was making IS knots
an hour when attacked off Kinsale,
Carson' said,, adding that two and pos
sibly three torpedoes were believed to
have struck the vessel.
, Lord Mersey presided over the In
quiry, which was conducted in the cen
tral hall of Westminster.
Claims Vessel Unarmed,
' Carson declared he would prove the
American contention that the Lusi
tania was not armed and was not an
auxiliary cruiser, subject to hostile at
tack, as had been alleged by the Ger
mans.. ;'.', ,
The first evidence presented ' was
confined to . technical data as to
the j construction of the Lusitania.
This was intended to show that
the I vessel was sunk by a . torpedo
and! sot as the result of an In
ternal explosion. Lawyers represent-,
ing the families of Alfred G. Vander
bllt and Charles Frobman, Americans
who perished when' the Lusitania was
sunk, were present at the hearing.
Captain ;W. T. Turner of the Lusi
tania, under oath; denied that the Lus
itania carried guns. ;
' now; Speed .Company's' Orders, i '
- . -Captain Turner . blamed the. Cunard
Line 'officials for the fact that the
Lusitania was proceeding slowly when
the 1 German submarine torpedoed and
sank, the .vessel. Ue said the company
ordered only 18 of the vessel's 25 boil
ers worked. , . ''.-.----), - ."
Wq were proceeding j -at ' only 18
knots an hour when the ship was
struck at 2:15,Mi Bald Captain Turner.
"I was on the port side When an. offi
cer 1 called out. There comes a tor
pedo. ' r ''. ' '
"I ran down and saw 'the torpedo,
just before It struck. - The explosion
was; between the third and fourth fun-
nets. I immediately ordered full speed
astern, 'but there was no response. The
engines had been put out of -commission.
Within a few minutes the ves
sel J listed 15 degrees, rendering a the
boats on the port side useless. I gave
the Order for women and children first
in taking to the boats which could
still be - used and then - went to the
bridge. I was there when the ship
sank."-:-., ': -- . ;
Admiralty Instructions Concealed.
Captain Turner said he did not know
how; long he remained in the water,
but I was picked up by a trawler and
taken to Queens town. The captain ad
mitted , he had received instructions
from the admiralty, .- bat was ; not
pressed to tell what ihe instructions
were.
On cross examination. Captain Tur
ner said he was cognizant of the dan
ger j which the Lusitania faced. Look
outs ' were- doubled and - orders - were
given for full speed In the event a
periscope was sighted. '
; What part did Alfred G. Vanderbilc
take In the work of rescue? Captain
Turner was asked, c,
"X never saw the gentleman," he
replied.
At this point Lord Mersey adjourned
the t hearing and crossed to an ante
room with Captain Turner where he
continued his examination in private,
presumably on the question of the ad
miralty's Instructions and whether the
captain obeyed them. . '
