secure the balance of the 195 members
to make up the minimum of 800, before
tomorrow noon. One of the committees
which was out today, that was headed
by William Walton, could not get
around to report at noon and this re
port will be carried over until tomorrow
morning, and another committee, that
of which Superintendent Steiner, of the
insane asylum is chairman, could not
work today but reported two member
ships by telephone, nevertheless.
To the committe of which George F.
Rodgers is tho chairman, is due the
credit for securing the greatest num
ber of memberships ou the second day's
campaign with a total of 22; C. H. Ham
ilton's committee was second with 15;
P. W. Kyre 's committee nosed into third
place but the baro margin of one-half
membership, reporting a total of 14 1-2.
while tho two committees headed by F.
(1. Dookebueh and William Gahlsdorf,
respectively, wero good fourths with 14
memberships each.
While the figure of 800 has boon set
as the goal to be reached in the mem
bership campaign, tho work-of tiie com
mittees will by no means, atop at that,
as this number merely represents the
least number required tojearry out the
work outlined by the "eximmoreiul club
for the ensuing year, and all secured
above that number adds to the effi
ciency of the work of the club and docs
uot increaso the overhead expense. Kv-
erybody lin promised to bo on hand at
success or me movement will lie secured
long before noon. The results of the
committees up to noon today follow

Admiralty Holds to First State
ment, Alleging Attack
by Torpedo
Washington, May 27. The state de
partment today ', received a dispatch
from Consul ticneral Skinner, in Lon
don, stating that in a wireless message
to him, I'aptain Green of the American
steamer Nebraskan, reported that the
explosion which damaged the ship off
Fatstnet came without warning and he
saw no vessel in the vicinitv. Skinner
reported that Captain Green's fessaga
stated that the explosion occurred at
dusk. The explosion was a terrific one,
he said, bursting the hatches, throwing
the hatch beam, the cargo derrick, and
twisted iron into the air and filling
the forward hold completely with wa
ter. (Ity John Kdwin Xevin.
Washington, May 27. "We had no
warning aud saw nothing."
This assertion from the report of
( nptain Green, of the steamer Nebrnsk
an, in his report tu Consul General
Skinner, in London, is regarded an the
most significant statement contained
in the latest information regarding the
osion which damaged the Ameri
can ship.
It disclosed the uncertainty which
promises to make the incident a mys
tery that mav be bevoud solution.
If the Nebraskan was torpedmd by

an act of war. Officials admitted this

However, there is no evidence that

KING OF ITALY TAKES

By William G. Shepherd.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Chiasso, Switzerland (Italian fron
tier), May 27. The first great battle
of the Austro-ftnliiiii wur may be
fought in Trentiuo.
The Italians ale pushing steadily
northward into the Tyrolean Alps. They
are advancing Civor pusses and snow
covered pen kg a mile high. The Aus
Lrians are fleeing, without ottering
serious resistance, back upon the main
defenses of the Trentiuo nrmy. Ad
vices here say the Austrians are mass
ed in great luree in the Adige river
section.
Strong Italian tones have liccu
brought up to support the raiders on
the Trentiuo frontier, and Swiss mili
larv niitlitvities believe the great
forces mav clash within a tew davs.
Chinsso is tlle busiest town of -luiHl
souls in the world. Hundreds of tour
ists have flocked in, hoping to work
their way northward along the border
to see tiie cxpnl battle. They re
mind me of the crowds along the Kio
Grande in the I'uited States, watching
the Mexicans, lint instead of Fl I'aso
policemen and soldiers from Fort liliss
to shoo the crowd along, sturdy Swiss
militiamen arc on tlle jnh.
These Swiss soldiers have the dou
ble business of preventing belligerents
I run stepping on Swiss soil and keep
ing in-lit i ii I spectators off the stngt.
Crowds ate arriving by train, iu an
tes, on bicycles and in curious old carts.
Included, of course, ure some corn'
spondeiits, hot from tlle French nnd
Fuglish front anxious ti see vv tint II
new battle willi different opponents
look like.
Refugees arc flocking in, most of
them with talcs of border battles ami
of narrow escapes from revengeful
mobs. To dale, Im.vever, the uctual
battle business is poor along the Swiss
frontier.
