London, June 5.—There is now a more urgent call for men for the fight- ing forces than ever before, said Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of national service,.in an address today at Whit- church. “The government are now calling men from agriculture, coal mines and munitions factories,” said Sir Auck- land, ‘and also from all the other vital and essential industries which they have done their best to conserve and develop. The decision to do that was considered very gravely before it was arrived at. “In the next few weeks.everything depends upon our maintaining the armies, and heavy as is the call.now being made upon agriculture, I cannot say it will be the end of the call to ba made on that industry, because there is no use of maintaining an industry, however vital, unless steps are taken to secure victory in the field, because victory we must have.

Two More Vessels | Aided to U-Boat Toll A NORWEGIAN STEAMSh:~ AND ONE SCHOONER TOTAL NOW STANDS 13 Location of Attacks Show the Sub- marines Are Steadily Moving South- ward—Have Used No Torpedoes Thus _Far. | ! New York, June ~—Two more ves- sels, ‘a Norwegian steamsaip and one mer, were added today to the list of ships known to have been sunk by the German submarines which are raiding in American waters. The' to- tal now stands at thirteen—five steamers and eight schooners. The fact which stood out most prominently in the day's develop- ments is that the U-boats still are op- erating near the coast and have not returned to their bases. assuming that the two which already have been iden- tified are the only ones on this side of the Atlantic. This was demonstrated when the rwegian steamer Eidsvold was sunk off Virzinia Capes late vesterday. The location of the attack shows also that the submarines are moving steadily southward. if they are the same ones which attacked shipping almost at the gateway to New York harbor. The navy department reported yesterday an encounter between a destroyer and a submarine off the coast of Mary- land. All Sunk by Bombs and Shellfire. Another fact which is regarded as sighificant in marine circles here, is that none of the vessels reported sunk thus far was sent to the bottom by a torpedo. It is considered certain the undersea craft carry torpedoes and that they are conservinz them in the hope that they may get an opportu- nity sooner or later to attack a trans- port loaded with American troops. The unarmed merchant ships which have been attacked thus far ha been sent to thé pottom by the use of bombs and shell fire. May Be Other Vessels. Possibility that vessels still unre- ported may have been sunk w seen in a statement of the master of the schooner Samuel C. Mengel who ar- vived here today Wjth his rescued crew. He declared hé was told by the commander ,of ‘the submarine which destroyed his ship, that the U-boat had sunk three sfeamers, one a pas- senger liner, and three schooners, last Saturday No vessels have been re- ported sunk that day and it is be- lieved either the U-boats captain was lving or that Captain Hansen misun- derstood him. Cnly Loss of Life Was on Carolina.

S. DESTROYER RESPONDED T0 “S. 0.

Washington, June 5.—The story of the capta:n of the French tanker Ra-i dioleine, attacked by a submarine off the Maryland coast vesterday, reached the navy department today, showing the raider had fired fifteen shots ati the Frenchman from long range before an American Jestroyer answering an “S. 0. S.” appeared. The destroyer passed full speed| ahead toward the enemy. which promptly submerged. When the de- strover reached the spot where the U- had _disappeared, the Radolene as too far away to see what hap- nened None of the shots hit the tank- er. and three which she fired at the raider went over. The captain said the submarine was <o big that when his lookout sizhted her six miles away he reported her as 2n American destroyer. Tollowing is the navy denartment's summary of the Frenchman’s story: “The submarme was so big that at first the lookous thought it was an American destroyer. He was about six miles distant from the Radio'ene. The submarine hted lay about two lengths from a three inasted sailing ship (probably the Schoonar Edward | R. Baird, Jr, which later was homb- | d and sunk) and the lookout reported | it to the captain as a destrover. The | canta'n.was in doudt as to the nation- ality so did not fire, but manned his guns. Me chanzed his course from east to west and the submarine omen- ed fire, hut the IPrenchman still held his fire until the submarine fired the second time. Then he fired, range about 12.000 meters. “The French ship fired in all threa} shots. He kept a direct course and! did not see thom submerge. Thei Irenchmsn heard two shots and about 15 minutes before he sighted the sub- marine. He believes these shots were fired to stop the sailing vessel. The submarine lay ooadside to the Rados liene when the captain sighted it. Ap~ parently some one from the submariné was on board the sailing ship. Wi:ether or not their boarding party was takin stores he was uncertain. At no ti was the submarine closer than sif miles to the Radiolene. The Radiolens was making good speed whiic getting away. No shots hit her. No damagh was done, and there were no casualties, No flag was visible on the sub- marine. Before the Radiolene fired she hoisted the French colors. The schoon- er mentioned was a three masted scheoner with all sails set. No flags were ‘discernible therefore the namé and nationalty were unknown to the Radioleine. “At 9.15 a. m., June 4, the Radio- leine saw an Engzlish smoke box, and later passed a large quantity of ap= parently recent wreckage. At 1.40 p. m. she heard three shots at the head and to the northward of his position; He heard one more shot at 2.05.and one more shot at 2. At 7.15 a. m. ap- parently the time when he sighted thé submarine he sent an ‘S. 0. S’ amd shortly afterward some one answered ‘0. K. S. 0. S’ At a. m. he sight= ed a destroyer. ver passed the Radioleine at $.10 making all speed heading in the_direction of the submarine. Appars entiy the destrover did not see the sub- marine until the Radiolene changed course to starboard as the captain of the Radiolene purposely kept between the submarine and destroyer so that the submarine would not see the de: stroyer. As soon as the submarine saw the destrover she submerged. The captain id not see the submar'ne azain and {8 unable to tell what the destroyer did because the Radiolene was too far away when the destroyer reached tH¥ spot where the submarine disapeared.” A CLEARING HOUSE ~FOR LONGSHOREMEN And Matine Workers is to Be Estab- lished in New Ydrk City.

It seems to mean a home rule bill drawn on Or= ange lines, and in the certain event of such a bill' being scornfully rejes by Treland it means the zovernms of Ireland by the soldiers and by ths Orange minority. Such blunders the task for those who are fighting for the cause, the allies and the free- dom of the small nations.” = GROUND GLASS FOUND Explains Mystery of Death of Seven Cows and One Horse.
