THE LATEST. The British mercantile cruiser Moldavia, carrying American troops from America to Europe, has been torpedoed and fifty-six American soldiers are reported missing. The liner was sunk Thursday morning, according to an official statement the British Admiralty. That German submarines are operating off the south coast of Ireland is evidenced by the sinking of the steamer Inniscarra, of Cork, with loss of life. Page 1, column 8.

Miss Grace Lusk, on trial for the killing of Mrs. David Roberts, admitted under cross-examination yesterday that she had sought to keep her relations with Dr. Roberts secret for two years. She said she could remember nothing of the actual shooting and "never Intended" to do it, but said she bad a clear recollection of events immediately preceding and following the tragedy.

Red Cros3 contributions in Louisville were not tabulated yesterday, but campaign leaders are confident that the mark has been passed, and expect that the subscriptions by Monday, the closing day of the drive, will total half a million dollars. Much money was taken in at the booths conducted by women and girls at Fourth and "Walnut street. Page 2, column 3. David Lloyd George, speaking at Edinburgh, has sold that the submarine is still unconquered, but that It Is no longer a vital menace to the Entente Allies. He said that the U-boats are being destroyed faster than they can be built by while the Allies are Imi'dins ships faster than the submarines are sinking them.

Secretary of War Baker announced Iri an address here to-night in celebration of Italy day that American Infantry, American machine-gun units and American artillery soon would be fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Italians on their front At the close of the meeting a group of young Italians presented to Secretary Baker an American flag, which he announced he would place personally "in the hands of the flag-bearers of the first military contingent of the United States which leaves to join the Italian army on the Italian front." Recent reports from Rome have quoted King Victor Emmanuel as expressing a desire to see American soldiers on the Italian front, and It has been well known that Italy as a whole would welcome American fighting forces. Official announcement, however, was not given until to-night by the War Department that the United States would meet this wish.

It is presumed that word of the proposed action was withheld to form a fighting climax for the Italy day celebration, when the people of Italy United States. pledged aith.one other. Representatives Already There. In referring to the intention of the United States Government to send part of its fighting forces to Italy, Mr. Baker said that there were already In Italy representatives of America.

"The Red Cross is there." he said, "carrying the message of our heart and head to Italy. The Young Men's Christian Association Is extending its work there, ana the American army is already represented in Italy by a large and important staff of experts, who are studying Italian methods of warfare, and we have sent to Italy a substantial number of our army's sanitary corps, so that we have doctors and nurses of the American army already there. "But I see, and in the no distant future. American infantry, American machine gun units and American artillery, shoulder to shoulder with the Italians on their front line. "And the value of that lies, not so much in any military assistance which we may give; that of course, will be in proportion to the number there; but the value of Its lies In that it will make of that portion of the line what the French portion now is, a composite of the civilized nations of the world, English, French, Italian and American, fighting together with a community of Interests, a community of sacrifice, a common determination and a common courage, in order that they may secure a common victory for the benefit of all mankind." More Ships Going Over.

Referring to the "superb and veteran armies of Great Britain, France and Italy," with which our army Is soon to fight and he saw on his recent journey along the "frontier of freedom," Mr. Baker spoke of the rising pride which he felt that "this increasing number of ships which cross the sea and carry America's great and splendidly equipped and prepared army, will carry men worthy to bo classed with those heroes, and that they will find heroes worthy of their fellowship." "The American army must travel 3,000 miles across the sea," he said. "It has to court dangers which are (Continued On Third Pajrc.) All On Liner Except Missing Americans Taken Off By Escorting Vessels. NONE SHOWS PANIC London, May 24 (by A. The British armed merchant troop ship Moldavia, with American troops on board, has been torpedoed and sunk, according to an official bulletin issued by the Admiralty this evening.

The text of the Admiralty statement follows "The armed mercantile cruiser Moldavia was torpedoed and sunk yesterday morning. "There were no casualties among the crew, but of the American troops on board fifty-six up to the present have not been accounted for. It is feared they were killed in one compartment by the explosion." Torpedoed Without Warning. The Moldavia was torpedoed without warning. It was a moonlight night and although a good lookout was kept, the attacking submarine was not sighted before the torpedo 'I Most of the men aboard were in their hammocks when the explosion occurred amidships.

The sailors and soldiers alike" showed.no panic. They fell" calmly into line' and awaited orders. When it was seen that the Moldavia was settling down, all on board were taken off by the escorting ships. Lost All Belongings. The men lost all of their belongings, but were supplied with new clothing at the different naval ports where they were taken.

It is believed that the American soldiers missing from the Moldavia were sleeping on the bottom deck and i were overtaken by the great inrush of water after the explosion, when they were trying to reach the main deck. It is also presumed that some of the ladders were destroyed. The vessel was struck below the bridge. She steamed ahead for some time after being struck and at firBt it was hoped that her water-tight compartments would enable her to reach port. Survivors agree that the Moldavia was torpedoed and not mined.

One seaman said: "We were proceeding up the channel bound for an English port early Thursday morning. The weather was fine and there was a bright moonlight We felt an explosion amidships. The ship had been struck Just below the bridge, but we could see no submarine. "There were some destroyers con voying us and they at once scattered around in search ot the suDmarine. Only one torpedo was fired.

"When it was realized that we should have to abandon the vessel the destroyers came alongside to take off the troops." Going' From Britain To France. Washington, May. 24 (by A. PO Sinking of the British armed merchantman cruiser Moldavia, with a probable loss of fifty-six American soldiers, was announced in a cablegram to-night from the British Admiralty to the War Department Details were not given, but the understanding here is that the ship was moving between England and France. At a late hour the department had no further Information to indicate what American units were on board the vessel.

SLAIN NEAR DOOR OF HOME Richard Andrews, one of the best-known Plnkerton detectives in the United States, was shot and fatally wounded last midnight at Sixth and Chestnut streets by "Dago" Gentile, alleged pickpocket and man who fig ured in imamy arrests in. former years. Andrews lived only three minutes after being taken to the, city hospital. Mrs. Andrews at her apartment at 617 West Chestnut street heard the shot and went to tho door.

It was not until three hours later that she learned from a reporter that the man shot down was her husband. At the tame of the shooting Gentile was accompanied by two other men; who stood across the street At jail last night he said ithe men were witnesses for him, but not with him when the shooting took place. "Barred From Louisville. Gentife up to the present administration had been barred from Louisville by Chief Lindsey and Capt Carney. Gentile figured prominently In several Louisville elections and has been arrested on numerous occasions on charges of being a piokpocket.

Andrews Monday afternoon at the racetrack made an attempt to arrest Gentile. Gentile resisted and a fight occurred- In Which Andrews and another Plnkerton iieteetlve finally got the beat of Gentile. He reported the affair to J. B. Brown, of the county police, and the city police, and told them Gentile was again in the city.

Andrews, who was 'interviewed immediately afterward by a reporter, said that the local authorities seemed to ignore the presence of Gentile at the racetrack. Andrews said that he had followed Gentile from one racetrack to another. At the time of the fight, Andrews accused a woman at the racetrack who was friendly with Gentile of being a noted pickpocket. At the time tne shooting took place a reporter was looking for Andrews to learn why the city and county police had failed to act in Gentile's case. Andrews Fired At Random.

The shooting of the Pinkortoa detective which marked the second officer to be shot down within less than two months, caused great excitement on' Chestnut street last night. Andrews whipped out a revolver and returned the fire of Gentile, but apparently fired at random, i Few persons witnessed the shoot-ingj The shooting occurred at a particularly dark spot on the block. Andrews was on his way to his home when killed. Sergt. Peter "Victor, a Canadian soldier who is here lecturing; Frank -Raban, Jake Smith, of 532 South Sixth street; H.

M. Hanbury, of 208 East Jacob street, and H. J. Bloemer, a bartender at Rabbin's saloon, were on the scene immediately after the firing of the first shots. Sergt.

Victor, with a remark, "They're attacking," ran from the door of a cafe and saw the shooting. All the witnesses said Gentile, was firing rapidly. They said tbey saw other-men. standing nearby, but did not know their identity. Andrews just before falling fired three shots.

He was calling feebly for the police. Three shots struck him in tihe body. One hit him three inches under the heart and passed through his abdomen. The other shots struck him in tho arms. He was unable to utter a word aflter falling, but was alive un-' til he was placed on tne operating table after, being rushed In the ambulance to the hospital.

Mrs. Andrews said her hupband took the room in the locality to watch certain pick-pockets who are wanted in other cities. She had learned of his fight the other day in trying to arrest Andrews when tne city and county police took no action.

Mrs. Andrews said she had a premonition that "they would get" her husband last night and he left the house promising to return early. The shooting occurred a few minutes before midnight when" the Plnkerton detective was within a few steps of (Continued On Second Pace.) (By tho Associated Press.) In the battle zones In France there have been numerous local engagements, particularly in the Somme sector. The, Germans, under cover of a heavy artillery barrage, made a raid on the British lines at Bucquoy, on the line to the southwest of Arras, and captured prisoners. In the Kemmel region and on both sides of the Lys River, in the Flanders battlefield, there 'has been heavy artillery firing, while on the Scarpe River, In.

the region of Arras and south of the SommeV between Moreuil and Montdidier, the big guns have been in action, according to the official statement The remarkable aerial activity along the western battlefront con tinues, with both sides participating in their air fighting and bombing operations. If the Germans repeat their attempts to bombard Paris from the air, Americans will feel a keen interest in the attacks, because American aviators now are aidlnc la the defense of the French capital. The German troops that faced the Americans along the lines of the Toul sector have been replaced. For some time the Teutons there were units which had been withdrawn from Russia. These now have been replaced by Bavarian reserve regiments.

It is probable that the men withdrawn have been hurried north to participate in the coming renewal of the great German offienslve in Plcardy and Flanders. In spite of Berlin's promise that the German forces would not penetrate further into Russia, a large Teuton army is reported to be within twenty-five miles of Kursk, in the Dntejper-Dpn region.

The President's decision may be made to-morrow after further conferences, but he may wait until next week. Among the alternatives suggested by Senator Simmons, which the President was reported to be carefully considering, was a proposal that Congress adjourn as soon, as urgent business now on the calendar is disposed of and come back for a special revenue session in the fall.

President Wilson' action in withholding Judgment was most unexpected. Most members of Congress had become resigned to immediate work on tax problems in spite of their ardent and avowed opposition to such a course. After Secretary McAdoo's determination bad been announced late in the day It had been ac-'imed the President would ask the Administrating leaders to proceed with the legislation regarded as necessary by the Treasury. Representative Kltdhin, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, In fact, was so certain that he announced that hearings on the new tax bill would be called within a few days. I SUBS MONGER VITAL MENAGE Allies Building Ships Faster Than They Are Sunk; U-Boat Showing Reverse.

FOE FEARS U. S. ARMIES Edinburgh, May 24 (by A. That- Germany is straining every nerve to strike a decisive blow before the American armies can be brought into the field was the statement made to-day by David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister, in an address on the occasion of his being tendered the freedom of -the clty'of Edinburgh. The.

allied commanders, who knew beat' what the. prospects were; he feltmcsV'cbnfldeht' about the results. Mr. Lloyd George said that while the United States was rushing its men into France, the present strength of those armies was not the equivalent of one-fifth of the fighting strength which was gained by the Teutonic allies through the collapse of Russia. The Premier was most optimistic as "regards the submarine campaign of Germany.

He said while the menace of the underwater boat had not been entirely removed, the allied nations now were building ships faster than they could be sunk and that the unrestricted submarine warfare might be disregarded as a vital danger by the Entente nations. Warns Against Peace Offer. The prospects of using the entire force of the Allies were very bright, said Mr. Lloyd George in discussing the united command of the Entente armies In France. He sounded a note of warning during his address as to Germany's peace proposals, saying that the Prussian autocracy did not intend to bring the war to an end "until Its bosket is as full as it can Reverting to the shipping situation, the Premier said that in April the output of shipping for the first time exceeded the losses.

This statement was greeted with great enthusiasm, his hearers rising and cheering again and again. The Premier paid a tribute to the sailors ot the navy and the mercantile marine, "whose unvinclble valor overcame the submarine difficulties." "Besides protecting our ships and the ships of our allies," said Mr. Lloyd George, "they had to undertake the difficult task of harrying, postering, chasing and pursuing submarines day and night. They never ceased until they conquered that pest and blocked two of their nests Os-tend and Zeebrugge. Those were thrilling deeds which gave new heart tb our people." Meeting Subs Satisfactorily.

The Premier read' a report which he had Just recel ved rom the Admiralty "as regards the meeting of enemy submarines that it was going on satisfactorily." That, said the Premier, is official language-Since the beginning of the added, the naval staff had been confident that the allied navies were sinking more enemy submarines than the enemy was able to build. "We have reached the position," said Mr. Lloyd George, "that we are sinking German submarines faster than they can build them. We are building merchant ships that is, the Allies as a whole faster than they can sink them." The failure of the submarine had been recognized by the Germans, and that-accounted for the present offensive in the The enemy had been driven into that offensive as a last resort to secure victory. "Nevertheless," said Mr.

Lloyd George, "we must hot underrate the formidable character, of that attack. The collapse of Russia caused a yawning'gap in the. bridge which has not yet been spanned by the coming, of America, and until the span is reconstructed by Great Britain, France and Italy have to defend the gap." The Premier said that the Allies were on the eve of a great German attack and that those who knew best what the prospects were felt most confident about the He said (Continued On Second Page.) Miss Lusk Admits She Kept 'Affair' Secret Two Years Waukesha, May 24 (by A. Grace Lusk, after testifying that she could remember nothing regarding the killing of Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts, for which she is now on trial, was forced to admit on oross-axamination ro-dav that She had sought to keep her relations with Dr.

David Roberts secret for more than two years. During this period she admitted that she had warned the veterinarian to be careful in talking with her on the telephone, that she had sent him letters in care of his secretary, that she had urged him to register under a fictitious name with her at a Chicago hotel, and that they had a mutual agreement that their letters should be sighed and destroyed as soon as they were read. Miss Luak also admitted that she had not told, the truth in several made in "unmaiied letters to. Roberts: regarding her intimacy "with "Dr. Roberts.

Although she could remember nothing regarding the actual shooting o'f -Mrs. Roberts, and declared that she "never intended" to do it, she admitted that she had a clear recollection ot events Immediately before and after the tragedy. She declared that Mrs. Roberts had threatened to have her driven out of town and had likened her to a dog and a woman of the streets. After the tragedy Miss Lusk told of going to her room and examining her pistol with the intention later of using it to take, her own life.

She had no recollection of firing the flrst shot Into her body, but fired the second because she no longer cared to live after being told that Mrs. Roberts was dead. Miss Lusk testified on cross-examination that the flrst time she had urged that Mrs. Roberts be told the truth was May 18, 1917. a little more than a month before the tragedy.

AUTO SMASHED BY CAR: 5 DEAD Accident, Fatal To Wealthy Florida Residents, Occurs At Dangerous Crossing. BODIES BADLY BRUISED Special to Tho Courtrr-Journal. Shelbyvllle, May 24. A. Isham, owner of the Park House at St.

Petersburg, Fia. his wife, and Mrs. Belle Downing, also of St. Petersburg, were instantly killed, and Miss Isabelle Ballantyne, of Leetonia, and Miss Katharine Veacb, of Chautauqua, N. were so seriously injured that they died two hours later, "when their automobile waa struck by a westbound Louisville freight car at.

Boriita where the electric line drosses the'State pike, a quarter of a mile west of Simpson-ville, at noon to-day. Tho baggage car struck the automobile about the middle and crushed it against a telephone pole. The machine was torn in two, and the front part, in which Mr. and Mrs. Isham were riding, was carried fifty yards up the track before it was crushed into a shapeless mass under the trucks of the heavy car.

The body of Mr. Isham was burled beneath the wreckage of his engine and was terribly mangled. It was necessary to "jack up" the car before it could be recovered. The body of Mrs. isham was also In the tangled mass of twisted and broken fragments of the car, but it was not so badly disfigured.

Bodies Badly Bruised. The body of Mrs. Downing remained in the rear of the car. which was left within a few feet of the crossing, but Miss Ballantyne and Miss Veech were hurled clear of the wreck. They were badly cut and bruised about the head and body.

Their sufferings were intense and their appeals for relief were piteous. First aid was administered by Dr. T. J. McMurry, of Slmpsonville, and physicians were hastily summoned from Shelbyvllle.

Ambulances were also called and within an hour after the accidcntthe two injured women were in the King's Daughters' Hospital and the dead were taken to Shannon and Guy Wells Son's undertaking, establishments, where the bodies were prepared for burial. Miss Veech died at 2:20 and Miss Ballantyne ten minutes later. After reaching the hospital the latter regained consciousness and asked that H. J. Thracker, of Chardon, be notified.

Mr. Chardon, in a telegram received here to-night, advised the hospital authorities that he would come to Shelbyvllle to take charge of the body. Scene of Many Accidents. The crossing where the accident occurred is an exceedingly dangerous one from the fact that the L. I.

and the L. N. tracks cross the pike at this point within a few feet of each otrer. The approach Is through a cut so deep that a train from the east cannot be seen by persons traveling the pike from the west; as was the case to-day. No longer ago than last February a Louisville chauffeur was killed and two Anderson county men were seriously Injured there by a Chesapeake Ohio train, and numerous other accidents have occurred.

The only eye-witness to the tragedy was Hiram E. Jones, a farmer who resides In the neighborhood. He saw the anproach of both the car and the automobile arid realized the Imminent which he did his best to avert by shouting and waving frantically to the party. They either did not hear him or failed to comprehend his signals, arid drove on to their death without the slightest Intimation of their peril."
