The British steamship Belgian
Prince was sunk July 81 by a Ger

vors who reached a British port the

the lifebelts and outer clothing OF all

smashed the lifeboats with axes, and
then re-entered the submarine and

of 17s9 tons gross register, sunk while
on its way from Glasgow to Hamp-
ton Roads. His ship stopped when
ordered to do SO by the submarine
commander, and a detail from the
U-boat came aboard and removed all
the food supplies. The crew was then
ordered into the boats, given the
course to the nearest land and the
Artensis torpedoed.

sen said, told him and other members

Holland Claims Promises
To Loosen Food Embargo

Chevalier Van Rappard, the Neither

Holland would be forced into the war
through food embargoes.
He said that Holland had observed
the fate OF the smaller countries which
had been forced into the conflict, and
had no desire to change her policy
of neutrality IL 1t possibly could be
avoided.
1t was declared that Holland had
been given assurances that cargoes of

Expects Full Strength.
It is generally expected that the
regular army will reach its full
strength today. All OF the regiments
except some OF those most recently
authorized are now filled up. In the
newer regiments there are approxi-
mately 1900 vacancies. But there are
1900 and more recruits at various
depots being trained TO take their
places in the regiments that need
them.
The War Department said yesterday
that about one-half of the men &C
cepted for the regulars and the Ma
tional Guard are men who do not
come within draft ages. As men sub
ject TO draft are allowed to enlist on
the regular or the Guard until they
have been finally called for the ma
tional army, it is not expected that
recruiting will fall OF to any sppre-
ciable degree.
