What the trade IS more concerned
over is the accommodating evidence that

production Of the United States will
have been increased some 10000 tons

felt that exports must be maintained at

GERMANS WOULD
NOT AID CREW
OF ROCKINGHAM 1.
Captain Edwards Tells Sto-
~ of Sinking-G Gunners
Unable to Fire.
SUBMARINES SEEN
AT GREAT DISTANCE
Unable to Identify Them in
Haze-No Warning of
Torpedoing.

Liverpool. May 4.-Captain Charles
Edwards Of the American steamer
Rockingham, was barefoot when he
arrived here late Wednesday night,
and the thirty-two members OF his
, crew with him were scantilly clad.
They were cared for by the American
consul. Ea
Sighted U-Boats.
+ Captain Edwards said that he
sighted two submarines on Tuesday
afternoon at distance Of five miles
and attempted to escape by steering
a zig-zag course. Despite his efforts
a torpedo struck the steamer near the
engine room on the starboard side
and killed two men. One Of the ves-
the others got clear just before the
steamer sank.
Refuse to Give Aid.
One of the submarines came close
to E. life boat and asked the destina-
ingham.
Captain Edwards asked the ques-
toner to tow the life boats toward
land, but the man pretended not to
understand. although he spoke good
English. He finally refused to give
any help. told the refugees they could
get ashore as best they could and the
C-boat submerged.
Five minutes before the torpedo
ing. I noticed through the haze two
specks on the horizon. one on the
port bow and the other on the star
board bow" said Captain Edwards.
Il Immediately called them to the at
tention Of the gunners who were at
their posts both fore and aft, and they
trained their guns in the direction in
dtcated. The visibility was SO bad 1t
was impossible for any of US to say
whether they were submarines or
small patrol boats.
Submarines DISAPPEARED.
While all eyes were straining
through their glasses to penetrate the
haze, both the specks disappeared.
Then, we knew they were submarines
which had been floating practically
awash. We were already steering a
zig-zag course and the gunners were
fire. Nobody sighted anything, how
ever. and suddenly there came ter
rife explosion. the results of which
made It impossible to handle the guns:
THE torpedo had hit us in the en-
gine room on the,starboard side. She
sank quickly by the stern, going down
IN less than 90 minutes: One Of our
three were launched safely.
Naturally our great regret Is that
we did not get an opportunity to use
the guns. We had picked gun crew
who had proved their marksmanship
repeatedly in practice on the way
over, SO there is no doubt we could
have sent both the U-boats to DavS
Jones locker II we had been able tc
identify them through the haze.
'The ships boats got separated aft.
er leaving the scene Of the sinking
Our boat had been in the water si1
hours when we were picked I'M"

Railroads putting up big campaign
to increase rates. Every station agent

to later date than May 23. The farm
