STEAMER AND -FOUR SAILING
VESSELS TOLL OF THE STORM
Ten Men in Danger on Wreck on Stone Horse

Four Masted Coal Schooners Lost Fear Two
Naval Recruits Lost

: Boston, Dec. 1.-THE loss Of one
steamer and four sailing vessels dur
ing a week of exceptional storms
which eliminated last night in a 10
mile blizzard, was reported tonight,
Naval Reservists Missing
Two naval reservists attached to tho
coast patrol fleet are missing and it
is feared have lost their lives as Il
result of being blown to sea i'll a skiff
last night when they were trying to
clear their boat from a submarine net.
Ten men We're reported in imminent
danger on the wreck of the four
masted schooner Horace \. Stone
pounding to pieces on Stone Horse
shoal, three miles off Cape Cod with
the sea too rough for rescue TO be at
tempted.
From an Atlantic port came word
that the British steamer Knight of
the Thistle had foundered at sea and
that 81 of her crew had been picked
up Whether this included the ships
full complement was not announced.
Two Coal Schooners Sink
Aside from the sinking of the 5000
ton steamer. the most serious loss
was that of two four -masted SChoon-
ers loaded with coal, the Stone and
the Edward F. Briry. The Briry was
pounding heavily on Great Point, Nan
tucket, and it was feared she would
so to pieces. In view of the general
shortage of coal in New England and
the need of tonnage in the coal carry
ing trade, shipping circles here were
shocked to hear of the loss of two
we'll known carriers.
The other losses include the 45-ton
British schooner Wanita and the two
master Omaha.
Last nights gale not only wrought
great damage along the coast, but Sc
riously crippled land transportation.
| The snow was wet and was piled up
in great drifts which held up some
trains for seven or eight hours at
time and deranged all long distance
, train schedules and trolley service.

BREAKING Down OF
RECRUITING SYSTEM
UNDER GREAT STRAIN

Washington, Dec. IA. - Recruiting
machinery of the American army
showed signs of breaking down to-
night under the enormous strain put
upon it by the thousands Of men who
have offered themselves for enlistment
within the past few days. In some
cases recruiting officers have found
themselves without means of accom-
indicating recruits and have been forced
fees until the men already in their
charge can be distributed
Flood Of Applications
This means that many men of draft
age will fail in their effort to enlist
before noon tomorrow. after which
time they may join the regulars only
in their status as members of the
National Army. Protests against turn
ing the men away have come, one from
New Rochelle y. Y. but war depart
ment officials said tonight that moth
ing could be done about il, as 1t was
impossible for the recruiting stations
to handle the food of applications.
1t was pointed out that registered mer
who do not get into the regular army
through the recruiting st-tions may do sc
after noon tomorrow by volunteering
through their local boards. Their appli-
cations will he acted upon Immediately
but they will appear on the rolls a. mem
bers Of the National Army.
The recruiting list made public toda !
shows A total Of IA, 291 men accepted yes
terday. which is probably 1900 less thar
the actual number taken In, as 10 dis
tricts failed to report. Indications are
that even greater number applied to-
day. As no quarters were available il was
decided at several stations to send many
of the men home.
