ONLY Thirteen MEN LAND

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 10.-Official informa-
ton was received here today to tho
effect that the Norwegian steamer
Storstad, a Belgian relief ship. which
had one American citizen on board. and
been sunk by a submarine.
Thirteen members of the crew. includ-
ing the American. have been landed.
One member of the crew died OF ex-
posture and others are missing.
1t is stated officially that the Storstad
was flying the flag of the American
commission for relief in Belgium ana
bore the markings designated for the
relief ships.
The London office of the commission
states that the Storstad carried 10000
tons of maize. which was needed badly
in Belgium. where the shortage as re-
suit of the detention of grain cargoes
will soon be felt severely.
The Storstad was ordered to leave
Las Palmas February 26. She took on
coal at Gibraltar and her master was
instructed to proceed to Rotterdam by
the northerly route.

admitted it was bringing men here
but declined to give the number who
had arrived. The company also said
large numbers" of motormen and
conductors had signed individual con-

80 per cent of the 500 or more con-
ductors and motormen of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric are union
men and that not a single union man
has signed an individual contract.
