10y MORNING J~erNAt SPECIAL tHAsep WiRs1
Washington, May 25.--Four days
before the American destroyer flotilla
arrived abroad, Berlin knew 1t was
on the way and to what port 1t was
going, and the day before the vessels
steamed into Queenstown, German
submarines had strewn mines about
| the harbor entrance. ~ tl>
This startling information, reveal
, ing that Ge. nilk spies not only stitt
are at work in this country but that
| they have a swift and sure means OF
communicating Americas war secrets
to the fatherland. came to the navy
department today in cablegrafn
from Rear Admiral Sims at London.
The admiral said his information was
positive. His dispatch was not made
public and for obvious reasons moth
ing will be given out concerning how
the news came into his possession, nor
about the precautions which defeated
the German plans and enabled the flo
tllla to speed safely through the mine
fields.
Few Knew OF Sailing.
Immediate publicity was given the
salient fact, however, the department
making clear that its purpose was to
let the people know of the activity and
success of Teutonic spies and to em.
phasize the necessity for absolute So
crecy in connection with naval opera
tions or shipping movements.
The destroyers, now aiding in the
hunt for submarines, in European wa
ters under the direction of Admiral
Sims. put into port at Queenstown on
May 16. How long they were in cross
ing the Atlantic or from what port
they sailed never has been announced
and until word of their arrival came
nv cable only few people In the
United States even knew Of the gov
ernments decision to send warships
to Europe.
No official would comment tonight
on the possible means by which the
news was conveyed to Germany. II 1t
did not go from a secret WIRELESS
plant, 1t must have been carried In
some dispatch that the allied cable
censors passed as innocent.
Swift Punishment for Spies.
The result will be to redouble the
vigilance of censors and of every agen-
cy of the government engaged in root
ing out the spy system. Every Ger
man known to have been connected
with the espionage work of his gov
ernment already is under arrest or un-
der surveillance. Other arrests may
follow at any time. and now that tho
country Is at war and the revelation
of its secrets may mean death to its
sailors and soldiers swift punish-
ment will be dealt to any convicted
spy.
Men now In custody operated when
the United States was a neutral. Spy
ing now Is very different thing and
is likely to lead to the gallows instead
of to comfortable detention quarters.
In announcing Admiral Sims dis
patch. the navy department. through
the committee on public information.
said:
The department calls attention to
this fact as proof that the German SPY
system is still at work in this coun-
try, making imperative the need OF Sc
crecy in connection with our naval
operations. The premature pubIica-
ton of ship movements Is particularly
a source of danger"

JUDGE
 MAKES DECISION
 IN KRISTEN CASE

This morning l5udgo Jennings ren. dered his decision in the case Of Louis Karstens against the Pacific Coast Company for damages due to the loss of the gas boat Xanthus. The court held that Karstens should recover $49O for the loss of the fishing gear, and $500 for damages to the hull of the boat. The amount of the damages to the engine are to be agreed upon between the parties concerned within the next two days,
 The court held that the hull of the boat was not a complete loss and could be repaired and that the engine was seriously injured by it's submersion in salt water. The court also held that while the officers of the Spokane were negligent, due to the fact that frayed and old line was used which broke under the strain, the fact that the boat had been sunk did not constitute a total

TERED BOAT REPORTED LOST
 MAKES SEATTLE
Power Schooner Progress Experiences Exciting Time in Gale but
 WeatherS It.

The little power schooner Pro gross, which was reported blown to
 sea and lost with all hands some.
 where along the Alaskan coast, and
 for which all navigators have been
 watching since Feb. Sth, has reached Seattle, battered and broken, with several Of the crew badly injured, and the ship itself looking like the remnants of first class naval bat tie.
 The main mast had been broken off fifteen feet above the deck, and the ship had been stripped of every. thing movable that the huge waves could wash away.
 Charles Quinn, first mate and a brother to Captain Quinn suffered a broken rib and minor bruises which he received when hurled to the deck of the little schooner while attempting to make fast one of the swinging boOms. Two others of the crew suffered frost bitten noses and ears which they suffered while chopping the little boat free from the ice which acctrpulated on the decks during their battle with the storms of the North PacafIc Ocean.
 The Progress left Seattle on Jan. uary 2Oth, with the schooner Harold Blekum in tow, bound for Seward. When in Cross Sound on January 31st, a gale caught the Progress and its town the the steel towing hawser parted. The Progress then headed for sea to avoid being wrecked, and abandoned the Ble- kum to her fate,
 The temperature registered seven degrees below zero and the spray and water from the heavy seas which were breaking soon covered the Progress with a coating of ice two feet in thickness. The engine room was flooded and as tho ice in. creased the little boat was in danger of laundering All hands turned to and chopped ice without ccasing for thirty-siN hours
 Finally the little boat worked to the south of Cape Omaney and milder weather was experienced and l she was headed for Cape Flattery | finally arriving in Seattle After l the parting Of the tow line the Bic. kun was unable to render any as. 5istancc. The Blekum arrived at | Seward on February Sth in a badly l battered condition and reported the Progress as lost.

 SERMONS
ELIJAHS REQUEST
 TO DIE THEME
 OF REV. C. J. FINN

Text, But Elijah went days jour ney into the wilderness and came and sat down under a juniper tree and re quested that he might die"
 Elijah had come to a stage in life when he was very much discouraged so much so that he wanted to die, he saw no brightness to the future, he had tried his best to do his duty for the Lord, but his efforts were not ap- preciated by the people, and, being hungry, tired and fatigued from lack of sleep, his mind weary, he lay down under the juniper tree and requested that he might die. Probably in a dream the Lord had spoken to him and told him that there was more work for him to do Elijah awoke, his mind was changed, he had nour- iShment and being refreshed the world looked differeLt and he went on and accomplished t,e things awaiting him the remainder ct his life,
 So it is with each of us. We at one time or another come to a juniper tree, a stage in life when we feel discour- aged, when everything looks dark; when We feel that there is no one who cares for us; when life is not worth living; We give up hope, we are ready to die. But after a refreshing rest and nouriShment and after a changed condition in the mind things will in evitably look brighter, the Lord is not ready to spare us, He has something more for us to do. and if we will ac. cept his guidance He will carry us to our appointed tasks. The shadow of the juniper tree is not an obstacle it is a resting place where we will re. ceive renewed life, a fervent vitality and a new fund of energy.
