Chief Engineer of Nebraskan Thinks
He SaW the Wake of Torpedo

LIVERPOOL May 2s.-while none Of

explosion off the coast Of Ireland, saw a
submarine. the chief engineer believes he

The captain stated that there was a
hole about twenty-feet square in the fore
castle below the water line.
We were In the boats about an hour

by the head and We decided to stay close

The damage to the vessels upper strne-
ture Is so severe II Is evident the shock
the ship suffered must have been terrific.
Great derricks were torn up and flung
across the deck, smashing the rail on one
side. Strong steel girders forming part
OF hatch were blown out and some went
overheard. In the deck flooring near the
hatch two large holes were made, reveal
ing the naked steel girders. two Of which
were cut through cleanly.
The hunks occupied by the boatswain
and two quartermasters, all OF whom
were injured, are a mass OF wreckage
and the men are wondering how they
escaped more serious hurts. All the fur
niture and woodwork In the room were
broken into fragments. The boatswain
suffered injuries on the head. arms and
legs. Both quarermssters were badly
bruised.
The American consul and representa-
tives OF the American embassy boarded

BIRD POPULATION OF j. S.
Robin Shown to Be the Most Numerous
With the English Sparrow
Close Second
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Feb. ia census of
birds of the United States announced
by the Department of Agriculture to-
day, shows an average of sixty pairs of
English sparrows to the square mile or
seven to every 100 native birds
throughout the country.
The robin is shown to be the most
numerous bird with the English sparrow
close second. In the northeast rob
ins averaged six pairs to each farm of
5S acres, while English sparrows aver
aged FIVE pairs per farm. Taking 100
robins as unit other birds were not
ed in the following proportions:
Cat birds, 49; Brown thrashers, 81;
house wrens, IS; king birds, 81, and
bluebirds, 26.
AS for density of population on each
acre of farm land there was an average
of one pair of birds. Chevy Chase,
Nd, holds the record for density,
where 161 pairs nested on % acres.
Thirty-four species of birds were repre-
sented.
The bird population is much less
than it ought to be, according to depart
ment experts, who claim that if birds
were given more protection there would
be an increase in numbers.

late WAR news SUMMARY

German forces have captured the
important Polish town of Plock, the
Berlin war Office announced to-day.
Plock lies on the Vistula northwest of
Warsaw and the Russians pushed their
advance far beyond it in their move
ment against the west Prussian border,
which apparently has now been ended.
Not only Plock but the town of Bielsk
is said to have been lost by the Rus
slams. In east Prussia, the Berlin CON-
munication states the advance of the
German force continues, the Russians
having been pursued across the border.
It is expected in Londan that to-
night or tomorrow England will pro-
claim the cutting off of all food stuffs
from Germany in retaliation for Ger
many's declaration that the waters sur
rounding the British Isles constituted a
war zone.
A note from the German chancellor,
as transmitted to the Rotterdam Cham
Der of Commerce, says that ''in most
cases. German submarines will be un-
able to distinguish between neutral and
British vessels encountered in the war
zone, and that all merchantmen there
fore run the risk of destruction. In
Berlin an Official statement was issued
suggesting that British submarines
might purposely sink neutral vessels, in
order to precipitate conflict between
Germany and neutral nations. French
newspapers commend the attitude of the
United States, which Is said to be the
first step toward ''the inevitable par
ticipation of neutrals in the great
events which are dividing the world
The departure of the Green Minister
from Turkey is not regarded in Berlin
as implying reputure in diplomatic
relations. 1t is thought there that the
minister, for personal reasons, asked to
be relieved.
The Albanian force which invaded
Servia has been driven back across the
border. says Nish dispatch. The raid
is believed to have been incited by
Mohammedans preaching a holy war.
1t is reported from Milan that Italy
has asked Vienna and Berlin for assur-
ances that Austria will not make an at
tack on Rumania, whose military pre-
parations have been interpreted as fore
shadowing her entrance into the war.
