4 GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR
WEDNESDAY,.

Beyond an officially inspired des.
patch from Berlin that no disorders
occurred in Germany May day. the
veil of secrecy drawn over tho central
empire remains unbrokcn. News des.
patches speak Of great strikes and
rumors In regard to the growing un.
rest among the Teuton;S nations.
Along the fighting front In France
the deadlock which has existed for
somo days persists. Tho French re-.
port some now gains In Champagne.
Tho Germans made several attacks on
the Aisne. The results Of the French
offensive have caused considerable
dissatisfaction In Paris, and the minis.
ter of war will have to face the fire Of
n number of deputies when tho French
parliament meets. In England critt
cism is conferred on the admiralty. The
growing submarine menace Is causing
increased criticism Of Sir Edward Car.
son.

Story Told by Crew.

There are German submarines in
the Atlantic and until very recently
they have been supplied from the
United States by ships flying the
American flag.
This Is according to statements by
members Of the crew of the steamship
Manitowoc, which for several weeks
was detained in the harbor at st.
Thomas. Twenty-one of the crew are
returning to the United States after
difficulties with Captain r. Hogstead,
master Of the ship.
Mem3ers Of the crew OF the Mantle.
voc say all the vessels were loaded
with contraband for German subma-
rines.
when we left New York last we
were supposed to have cargo Of coal
exclusively" said enc of the crew.
"Underneath the coal were all sorts
Of fuel and food supplies. Supposedly
the cargo was destined for Buenos
Aires. Between ST. Thomas and Bue-
nos Aires we got rid Of our cargo ON
the high seas to German submarines.
We had no cargo when we reached
Buenos Aires"
At Buenos Aires that ship, the Mus
kegon and the ANaquash all took on
general food cnrgoes, oil and other
fuel supplies, which were covered over
with several hundreds of tons of coal,
they said. On the Manitowoc there
were also placed two iron chests fill
ed with gold. each supposed to contain
$250.Oo0. These. according to the mon,
also were hidden under the coal
While waiting in st. Thomas for or
ders the Danish Islands we're transfer
red to the United States. The slips
were not permitted to sail. The crew
OF the Manitowoc tried to get some Of
their pay while Idle in the harbor.
Captain Hogstead refused to make any
payment. The men then made COM
plant to Rear Admiral Oliver, govern.
or OF the Islands. He required Can.
tain Hogstead to guarantee he would
not supply any more enemy ships be-
fore being permitted to leave the har-
Dor. presumably for Bueaos Ares.
Captain Tocstead said no was unable
to get any instructions from the own
ers I'm New Y"rk.
The men then demanded that they
be returned to New York. They ar
rived at San Jnan Tuesday on the way
to the United States.

and Arc Not Connected With tho
Army Organization as Announced.
Orders have been issued by the war
department to raise nine regiments Of
engineers for duty at the earliest pos"
siblo moment, on tho communication
lines In France.
Recruiting points will be Now York,
st. Louis, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh,
Detroit, Atlanta, San Francisco and
Philadelphia.
Tho departments statement follows:
"The war department has sent out
orders for the raising as rapidly as
possible of nine additional regiments
OF engineers which are destined to pro-
coed to France at the earliest possible
moment for work on tho lines of com.
munication.
at is requested Of the press that no
speculation or rumors regarding this
force be carried other than that given
out. All details regarding the force
will be given out rs fast as compati.
bio with the best public interests"
1t was explained that these forces
are not connected with the army or
ganization already announced by the
war department. They represent an
addition to the total military prepared.
ness program. In effect, the regi.
ments will be additional technical
units Of the army which the admins.
tration bill authorizes tho president
to organize in whatever numbers on
Whatever plans he deems best.
Tho strength OF an engineer regi.
ment Is approximately 1000 men. This
would make n total OF $4,000 men in
the new force. AS 1t Is announced
that they are for use on communica.
tion lines, 1t is assumed they will be
drawn as far rs possible from railway
employees and employees OF telegraph
and telephone companies.
Additional officers to supplement
those detailed from the active list OF
the army or from the officers reserve
corps probably Will be sought among
engineers now engaged with work OF
this character. Because Of the tech.
ntcal nature of the work, 1t IS possible
no preliminary military training will
be necessary.
They can be sent forward rs rapidly
as they can be recruited, ofIlcered and
supplied with personal equipment.
