CERMANY'S SUBS
SINK FISHERMEN

Following Assurances OF
Safety Underwater Craft !
Destroys Trawlers.

Ymuiden, Netherlands. July 5-For
many a hapless boatload Of subma-
rine victims in the North Sea the lay
ing up of the big Ymuiden and visar-
dingen fishing fleets is calculated to
have vital consequences. Their
chances of salvation, at any rate SO
far as a, very wide area of that sea
is concerned, now virtually has been
restricted to the finding of light
ship, to making land or being picked
up by the comparatively rare passing
steamship or occasional warship
squadron. What the absence of these
fishing craft must mean may be
judged from the fact that since the
proclamation of the sharpened sub
marine war alone. more than 200 such
victims have been landed at Ymuiden
by fishing yessels-seamen of all ma
tiopa1ities, but most belonging to neu-
trail nations, who had been found
drifting, in open boats on the high
seas The total thus saved since the
outbreak of war is more than 500.

German Intrigue
Not Eliminated
Government Finds

That German intrigues against pro-
perty and stations of the United
States Navy in thisNcountry must still
be carefully guarded against is shown
by a. case. which is now before the
Department of Justice, says state
ment issued here at Navy League
headquarters.
In a southern city with popula-
ton of about 10000 people, says this
statement, there Is colony of Ger
man subjects who recently petitioned
the government, through the Depart
ment of Justice, to waive certain of
the restrictions placed upon them as
| to their residence in fixed zones
These restrictions prevent alien
enemies from living or going within
| a certain distance of any Navy Station
or ship.
The petition from the Germans of
the southern city, mentioned above
was so phrased on its face that it ap-
peared to be an entirely harmless re-
quest. Federal officials in the South
were inclined to grant it. The petit
ton was, however, referred to Wash
ington. An Investigation proved that
there was on foot a scheme to place
certain German agents close to the
Navy Yard where considerable mis-
chief might then be done. It has now
been decided that, not only will the
areas from which these Germans are
barred not be limited or reduced, bu1
/ that increased surveillance over ever,
i movement will be maintained.
The belief is expressed that hat
this request been granted, it was tn,
! intention of alien enemies in othel
cities to make a similar request, ant
that in the end serious harm nigh
have resulted.

Leading Conservatives Cal ii
Government to a
Show Down.

Berlin, July 5.-The movement to
secure an equal electoral franchise in
Prussia has found champions in I'M
expected quart ers. Leading Conserva-
tives have Joined in a public declara-
ton calling on the government to take
action for the prompt enactment Of
legislation in favor Of election reform.
Their call, which Is an unequivocal
Endorsement of the agitation carried
on by the Social Democrats for many
years. bears the date of June 3d. but
was only made public yesterday.
The call is signed by Professor Hans

fessor Friedrich Meinecke, Count

nest Troeltsch.
The signers almost without excep-
ton have been looked upon generally
as stalwart Conservatives.
The call, which Vorwaerts terms "an
historic document and which the
Tageblatt halls a welcome sign OF
public sentiment, reads:
