London, June 1.-Stories not hith-

submarines In the North sea were
told by Robert Lowry and others at
the recent meeting of the Mission to

Robert said, became such terror to

occasion, this trawler armed with two
light guns was attacked by q subma-

Washington, June department
of justice officials are of the opinion
that the situation with respect to the
draft army registration Tuesday Is
well in hand, that there will be no
really serious disturbances. and that
the nation will wake up wednesday
to find that outbursts have been spo-
radio and not the result of general
feeling against the law.
1t was pointed out at the depart
ment tonight that more than lO,-
600, 900 men are required to register
under the law and that 1t would be
surprising indeed if such a day were
to pass off without incident, as no
general election ever held in this
country passes without some disorder
About 30 Arrests Made.
Attorney General Gregory's orders
had caused the arrest of about ~
persons up to today in connection
with anti-draft propaganda. Only a
few more, probably less than hair
dozen, are expected before Tuesday
Such a showing is looked upon as eN-
traordinary and as a convincing 1ndl-
cation that despite oratory against
registration and the few conspiracles
discovered to interfere with 1t or 10
prevent the response of the men OF
draft age, there has been no substan-
tial movements to defeat the purpose
of the law.

Attorney General Gregory reiter-
ated his request that local organlza- :
tions aid in the work of seeing that
every man between 81 and 80 years
of age in their communities registers
his name.

cations which will see to the registra-
