Secretary Daniels said tonight he never lost hope of getting what he asked for until congress ad- journed. It was clearly indicated that the senate, which has not yet taken up consideration of the naval bill even in committee, was relied upon to re store the battleships. Thirteen Demos Oppose. The deadlock in the house commat- tee followed a caucus of the eight re publican members of the committee at which it was decided to oppose the five-year program and to seek to in- crease the 1917 appropriations over the figure suggested by the depart ment, Five of the thirteen demo- crats not only opposed the continuing program, but also were determined to cut down the 1917 estimates and not to vote for any battleship appropria tion, Two German Ships Reported Sunk by Russiafiubmarine London, May 19—The sinking of two German steamships by a sub- marine, believed to be a Russian, is reported in a Reuter dispatch from Stockholm, The steamships were the Kolga, Hamburg for Stockholm, and the Bianca. Stockholm, May 17.—(Via London, Esther Krapp R;fdimé,fbi:y 1nmate Escapes and Another Inmate Sent in Chase ay 18.)—The German steamer Hera was sunk this morning off Landsort, in the Baltic. The sinking of the Hera marks the first activity of British submarines in the Baltic this season. The Hera left Stockholm on Tuesday to take on 2,000 tons of iron ore at Oxloesund. Its captain was ordered on board the submarine with the ship's papers and taken prisoner. Sufficient time was given the crew to leave the ship. All on board were saved. The report of the submarine ac- tivity has stopped the movement of numerous German vessels with car- goes of iron ore now at Oxloesund and other ports. The steamships were torpedoed treday afternoon off the Swedish and of Landsort in the Baltic. The Kolga was shelled by the submarina for twenty minutes. Two of the crew were slightly injured, The Kolga was then torpedoed an:l sunk. Thirteen of the crew were Bleked up by a Swedish steamer, 'our others are missing. Half an hour later the Bianca was shelled and torpedoed in the same vicinity. The crew was picked up by the vessel which rescued fhe men from the Kolga.
