NO SURVIVORS
ARE PICKED UP
American Destroyer Ans
wers rs. o. S." Call, But
Is Too Late
CBy Associated PreRs.l

Base of the American FIotilla in
British Waters June 26.-One of the
American destroyers in the patrol
fiotilla reported yesterday morning
that she was unable to find any trace
of the fifty members Of the crew of a
British merchantmen which was being
attacked by a submarine when the
American craft snatched the British
er's wireless distress call from the
air.
Submarine Smelling u.s." was the
first message the destroyer picked up.
The position showed the Britisher was
80 miles away. which meant run of
five hours through high seas for the
destroyer. g..
The American craft was just getting
under full speed when her wireless
sounded the second and final message.
1t read: Abandoning ship. Only
floating wreckage greeted the Ameri-
can bluejackets when they reached the
scene but they patrolled the vicinity
for two days in the hope Of finding
some survivors. Owing to the high
seas it seems doubtful if any of the
sunken vessels crew were rescued by
passing ships.

For example, the wife OF a private
soldier with three children between the
ages of 10 and Is. may receive either
SIS or $50 from the assigned pay of her
husband, $40 separation allowance, and
SIS from the Canadian Patriotic fund,
or in all $50 or SOS a month.
IL rshusband is killed, she will re-
ceive $40 a month for herself, and an
additional IS month for each of her
children until her boys are 16 years OF
age, and her girls are IL years OF age.
In addition, if she lives in Toronto, or
one of number of other cities, she
will receive life insurance. This will be
paid to her in monthly installments,
unless she shows that she needs the en-
tire amount at once. to pay on a mort
gage, or to make start in business.
If her husband is disabled, she will
receive a special maintenance allow
ance while he is receiving medical
treatment and learning new occupa-
ton, and when he is finally discharged,
If his physical disability continues,
pension will be paid according to the
extent of his disability, and the NUM-
Der of his children under 10 or IL
years of age.
Cities Buy Insurance.
Mr.. Wolfe is an actuary of recognize
"
pecially the municipal provision Tor ire
insurance by which certain Canaalan
cities have supplemented the pensions
provided by the dominion for depen-
dents of deceased soldiers. In Toronto
the municipality has not only pur-
chased SIC, 100000 worth of insurance
from private companies, but it is itself
Carrying more than 32,000,0 600 worth OF
insurance. A municipal insurance
bureau has been organized and Va
O00, 900 worth of bonds have been is
sued Of which the principal and interest
are charge upon the general taxpay-
ers of the city. Every officer and en-
listed man residing within the city
limits Of Toronto who volunteers for
overseas service has from the date Of
his enlistment been protected by a life
insurance policy of $1,000. the protec-
ton running from the time of his en-
listment to his death or six months
after his discharge or resignation.
The report refers also to the fact that
each of the European countries makes
government provision for the families
of private soldiers and sailors. In
Great Britain, France and Germany, the
amount of government separation al
lowance depends upon the size of the
family which must be supported.

CANADA TAKES
GOOD CARE OF
war DEPENDENTS
Municipalities Carry Life
Insurance Aside From
Government Aid
PATRIOTIC FUND
ALSO AVAILABLE
Injured or Disabled Soldiers
Provided for Until
Recovered

Washington, June 2e.-How Canada
provides for the wives and children of
her enlisted men is described in re-
port by S. Herbert Wolfe, Of New
York, prepared at the request Of the
secretary of labor, and just published
by the Children's bureau of the Unit
ed States department of labor. .a
In presenting the report, Miss Lath-
rop, chief of the Children's bureau,
says:
I'm the fifty years since the Civil
war, legislation affecting the family
and its economic status has shown
marked growth. Mothers pension
laws and mihimum-wage laws are rec
ognized examples, and it is acknow-
lodged that their result has not been
to pauperize, but distinctly to improve
the power of the family to support it
self In view Of this tendency, it is to
be expected that a system of compen-
sation for soldiers and sailors can be
developed whereby the government will
make possible for their children the
home life and parental care which are
the common need Of every child"
The report points out that in Cana
da, two notable elements have been
added to the government provision for
soldiers and their families: First, in
surance on the lives. of soldiers is car
ried by various municipalities, and,
second, the dominion has undertaken as
a part of it's military system the re-
education, in a suitable occupation, Of
the disabled soldier so that he can
assume again, in whole or in part, the
care of his family.
Get Separation Allowance.
The Canadian compensation for the
soldier and his family includes not only
$SS of monthly pay for the private in
active service, but separate allowance
to his dependents of $40 month from
the dominion government, and further
assistance in special cases from the
Canadian Patriotic fund.

EXPECT BOOM
IN RECRUITING
Vigorous Nationwide Effort
s To Bring Army To
War Strength
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 26.-Patriotic and
civic societies, newspapers and other
semi-public agencies everywhere are
making a gratifying response to the
governments appeal for support in
the campaign of regular army recruit
ing week and the war office depart
ment officials in the near future will
see recruiting boom for the regulars
unparalleled in the history Of the ma
ton, Reports indicate that the daily
papers, as requested by Sec. Baker are
taking hold of the work vigorously
and are bringing home forcibly to
eligibles the necessity of quick ex-
pansion Of the regular establishment.
Many of them are pointing out that
enlistment with the regulars not only
would give men eligible for the draft
an earlier opportunity for service
abroad, but would insure that they go
to the front under experienced officers
of the line and with equipment select
ed before the great demands Of the
war army have to be met.
Officials are emphasizing that the
plan of enlistments for the war only
offers an opportunity for a man over
81 and less than 40 to do his share.
President Wilson's proclamation set
ting side the the recruiting week, it is
pointed out, virtually amounts to a
call for volunteers among men Of this
class
During Saturday and Sunday,
nominally the first days of the week
set aside by the president, 915 men
were recruited, with New York lead
ing the states with 1872 and Pennsyl-
vania with 102. Since April 1. 124,949
war volunteers have been enrolled.
although there has been no decrease
in the physical standards imposed.
This number represents probably less
than one fourth Of the total who have
applied for enlistment and the process
of selection that has been followed
insures a highly efficient force COM
parable to the standing army of
peace time in the condition Of it's
personnel.

BELGIAN ARMY
LARGER Than
BEFORE WAR
Country Has Also Establish
ed Large Munition
Plants Abroad
GERMAN HORDES
HELD AT USER
Military Member of Mis-
sion Talks Before Ma
tional Press Club
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, June 26.-The Belgian
army is larger, better equipped and
more determined today than it was
at the beginning of the war, said
Lieut.. Gen. Leclercq, military member
of the Belgian mission, in an address
last night to the National Press club.
The general told of the joy the Belgian
soldiers would experience on sight of
the American khaki.
THE king without a country" -,
General Leclercq said, "is the express
sion the German papers use to desig-
nate our sovereign. They are not quite
accurate. There remains a part of
Belgium still unviolated. The Ger
man hordes have not succeeded in
never conquer this small corner of our
country"
Besides rehabiIitating their army
after terrible losses, the general de-
clared, his country has set up NUM-
tons factories abroad, one at Havre
with $4,000 workmen and two at Rich
mond and Letchworth in England
with $4,000 while the Royal Belgian
Lloyd, with $30,000,000 capital, as
sures transportation at sea. Special
schools train the manned and the
cripples for whatever work their dis
abilities make.
The Belgian army now occupies a
front of % miles with eight divisions.
The land is low and flat, requiring
millions of sand bags for defense.
Nothing remains said General
Leclercq, "in the battle zone where
once there were great fields filled with
cattle, smiling Flemish farms and
green trees. The only bright note. if
one may so call it, are the graves of
those who have poured out their
blood for their native land serving
as an encouragement to their living
comrades, to whom they say and in
cessantly repeat: 'Avenge us; do your
duty"
Upon Belgium's first victory of the
war at Liege the general dwelt at
length. There, he said, his country
men barely one hundred thousand
strong, met at least three times as
many Germans, inflicted losses ad-
mitted by Germany to total 42,714 and
paralyzed for thirteen days the great
invasion which after forty years of
methodical preparation was expected
to be irresistible.

LOWER
COAL PRICES
Council of Defense Reports
Show Greatly Increas-
ed Production
(By Associated Press


Duluth, Mimi, June 26.-Increased
production and shipment of coal to the
northwest should automatically cause
a lowering of prices, is the message
received here yesterday from F. S.
Peabody, chairman of the committee
on coal production of the Council of
National Defense.
Efforts of coal dealers to promote
the immediate purchase of winter
shortage is imminent, were called to
the attention Of Mr.. Peabody through
Congressman Clarence B. Miller of
Minnesota. Attention was called to the
fact that few consumers of coal are
able financially to purchase coal in
quantities, and many Others are linn
tied by bin capacities. Mr.. Peabody
was asked to give an opinion on the
outlook for the coal supply in the
northwest and the justification of fur
Their increases in price that seemed to
be forecast by dealers statements
This committee is doing every
thing possible to increase production,
and I am pleased to be able to say
that the production in May is far in
excess Of that for April and / am
hopeful Of this increase continuing. 1t
should automatically cause a lowering
of prices" Mr.. Peabody telegraphed.
Every effort possible is being made
to ship via the lakes before the close
of navigation all of the coal required
in the section served by the Lake
Michigan and Lake Superior docks.
The late opening of the shipping sea-
son has caused loss in this tonnage
Of approximately 100000 tons. We
now have in effect plan for pooling
lake coal which reduces the delay in
unloading cars and loading boats, and
which will undoubtedly increase ship
ments approximately 100000 tons.
While there is a shortage of cars, the
railroads serving Lake Erie ports are
giving preference to the movement of
those cars both loaded and empty. The
only difficulty now is in, securing suf-
ficient vessels"
