Submarine DESTROYED
By an American
Steamer
Story Of Fight and Sinking Of
German Craft Told by Wire
less Operator

An Atlantic Port, June 22.-The
captain of an American steamer, just
arrived at an Atlantic port, reported
today that he believed his steamer
had sunk a U-boat June 4, when two
days out from Liverpool, England,
en- route here. Beyond this statement
the captain would not vouchsafe in
formation.
In a story written by the wireless
operator on the steamer he said:
1--WE discharged our cargo at Liv-
erpool and left for our homeward
voyage June l. We were running at
night without lights. The guns were
cleared for action.
1--WE saw one submarine June 4.
One British ship sent sighAf of dis
tress, which we picked up. She re-
ported she was fighting submarine.
Half an hour later they reported by
wireless the submarine had submer-
ged.
81 heard S. o. S. from another
British vessel, which reported she
was being attacked by a submarine.
After twenty minutes of hard fight
ing the submarine submerged, and
the steamer wirelessed she was not
damaged.
eve were on a zigzag course and
making a full speed when one of the
gunners sighted a torpedo headed
straight for us. He shouted to the
bridge: Here she comes! Torpedo,
port side?
"The chief officer shouted to the
quartermaster: Hard starboard! y
We swung off. The torpedo struck
us on the port side glancing blow
amidshir right near the engine room.
81 sent out signal Of distress,
which was picked up by another ship.
The crew got away in the ships boats
but the captain, who had remained
on the ship, found the torpedo had
failed to explode, and all hands were
ordered back on ship.
"When the commander of the sub
marine saw our crew climbing up on
deck he started for US again.
"Suddenly came the command
Man the gunsv
"The crew scrambled to the guns
and began firing.
"When about 600 yards off ou'
starboard quarter a shell from ou1
forward gun hit the submarine anc
she submerged. Again she appeared
and our after gun hit her and blew
away her periscope. Another sho'
from our forward gun fell right OF
top of her. There was shower Of
black specks, followed by a great
commotion, bubbles of swater and .
light blue smoke from the stern Of
the U-boat.
"Our crew, which was lined W
against the starboard rail watching
the battle, gave a hearty American
cheer when the submarine disappear

Champagne Has Been The
Scene Of Furious Fighting
For the Last Two Days

The French and Germans in the
region north and northeast of Sois-
sons and in several sectors in Cham

fighting for two days with varying
results, while in the eastern theater
in Volhynia and Galicia the Russians
are using their guns against the
Austro- German lines in lombard
ment which may prove the prelude
to the commencement of infantry
activity.
On the British line in France bad
weather has brought the operations
Of General Ha;g's army almost to a
standstill, except for bombardments,
which are being reciprocated by the
Germans. patrol reconnaissance and
aerial operations. Likewise in the
Austro- Italian theater the offensive
Of the Italians, which was resumed
Wednesday on the front southeast
Of Trent has slackened materially in
il. r.tensity. On the other fronts only
minor engagements have taken place.
Having lost back to the French
the greater portion of the trenches
they had captured in the vicinity of
Vauxaillon, the Germans to the east
Of this region have delivered violent
attacks along front of about mile
and quarter, extending from
Epine Chavregny to La Royere farm.
Again picked troops in large num-
ters we're used in the assault and
again as before Vauxaillon, the
French guns inflicted heavy casual

OCTOBER | LOOMS
AS QUITTING TIME
FOR CONGRESS

October l Is the date now looming up
as the approximate time for the ad-
Journment OF the extra session OF Con-
gress.
Adjournment then would mean that
Congress practically would have only
about q two-months' vacation before the
regular session. II Is admitted on all
hands that the Forthcoming regular ses-
sion will be prolonged and stormy. a
rfonE list Of important general measures
will have to be considered. In the
extra session, general legislation has
had to give way to war measures.
Though the Senate will pass the food
control bill next Saturday. there will
still remain much TO be done In the
extra session. Among the matters TO
be disposed Of are: The aircraft bill.
the war revenue bill. war insurance or
indemnity legislation. large deficiency
appropriations, and possibly the au-
thorization OF q new loan to the allies.
Just now the food control bill IL taxi
ing shape so that II probably will pro-
vide for a food administration board
instead Of q food administrator. II Is
expected Herbert c. Hoover will be
made chairman Of the board II there
10 one finally agreed to. That will
mean trouble In the Senate over con-
nrmation and will spell more delay.
Under the circumstances, many think
adjournment will be delayed until late
In October.
Vice President Marshall in an inter-
view said he didn't see how congreSs
would get through until October !.

COCKTAILS SENDS
FIERY LETTER TO
DENMAN ON SHIPS

The future of the program t6 over
come the German submarine menace
by launching a feet OF American
cargo vessels depends largely upon
the way Chairman Denman, of the
Shipping Board. regards a letter re-
ceived by him this afternoon from
Major General Goethals, general man
ager OF the Emergency Fleet corpor-
alton.
The letter is in reply to Chairman
Denman's request for information re-
garding General Goethals's announced
program for the expenditure of $780,
000, 900 Of the public money for ships.
Mr.. Denman's position has been that
he had a right to be consulted in this
transaction as chairman OF the ship
ping board. General Cocktails has as
stunned plenary powers to go ahead and
put the ships into the water.
The contents OF the Goethals letter
still are withheld, but the words are
described as hot stun" This may
mean an immediate appeal to Presi-
dent Wilson to settle the controversy
which for the time being has halted
assaults on allied commerce.
A meeting OF the board OF directors
OF the Emergency Fleet Corporation
has been called for late this afternoon.
An attempt will be made to adJudicats
the dispute between Messrs. Goetha1s
and Denman at this time. Following
this meeting II also IL expected the
GoethaIs letter will be made public.

REEDS. ACCUSATIONS
IGNORED BY HOOVER

Herbert c. Hoover will make no
reply to the bitter attack Senator
Reed OF Missouri made upon him in
the Senate, charging the food admins
traitor with rigging the food market
when he was directing the Belgian
relief work.
Hoover said today that a reply to
Reed would only lead to another at.
tack by Reed and precipitate an IN.
necessary controversy.
1t Is Hoover's intention, however,
II was learned today. to take a den.
mite step against the forces that are
holding up the food control bill in the
Senate.
He will wait until action is taken
Saturday, and IL It doesn't meet his
ideas he will go before the country
with an exposure OF the Senators wh J
blocked the bill and the influences he
charges are behind them.

BUREAU DEFENDS
ITS COMPILATION
Of DRAFT CENSUS

With protests from Indignant cities
pouring in and an Investigation by
the Senate threatening, the census
Bureau today undertook to explain
away the draft census estimates russ.
Declaring that the figures were the
result of a "clean-cut, uniform, and
honest calculation" Sam Rogers,
director OF the bureau, admitted that
the gross population OF some cities
might not equal the estimate hEures.
He denied the charge that North
ern States were penalized or the
solid South" shown favoritism, and
asserted: 1--WE think the population
lie fully what We gave in the eSti-
mates"
War Department COmpIicates.
From the War Department another
explanation Of the figures came to
complicate the situation. 1t was ex=
planned that the estimates were not
intended to be the exact population OF
each county or city, but were fixed
for the purposes of the draft to equal
ize the burden OF the rural districts
and the industrial centers. To bal
ance the burden, the census estimates
were bssed partly upon the registra-
ton Of each district.
In cities where large numbers OF
Young men OF military age have
locked to work in war industries the
registration was unusually high'
therefore the population figures were
boosted to At the registration. In the
same way, the country districts were
cut where registration was low.
When the quotas are figured II
was explained. the burden falls even
ly on both.
"If the quotas were figured on the
exact population" said Rogers the
country districts denuded Of young
men would suffer severely, and the
cities would get of easy"

for the primary will be much later
than the proposition to hold 1t within
three weeks.
The expected vacancy, due to the
probable entrance of Commissioner
Newman into the reserve corps OF the
army, is not likely within two months
and officials of the federation today
recognized that there is plenty OF time
for their plans to be worked out
To BE Consulted.
The policy OF President Wilson
since Messrs. Newman and Brownlow
became Commissioners. has been to
consult them about all local problems
and It was expected among officials OF
the White House today that the Pres
ident will follow that plan as TO the
request laid before him. He will seek
the views of both the Commissioners
and base his answer upon the recon-
mendations made to him. That will
delay his answer several days, II is
thought.
should he not have time for a per-
sonal conference with either or both
these men he will probably forward
the federation communication to the
District building for report to him.
No request has been submitted to
the Board OF Education for the school
buildings OF Washington for the hold
ing OF q primary, but when such a
request is made there will be serious
consideration OF the matter, with OBJ
. jections in some quarters.
Liberal Construction.

| giving the board the right to issue
permits for the use OF public school
buildings "for supplementary educa
tional purposes, civic meetings for the

/ Fairgrounds" there has been q liberal
construction by the board.
| Superintendent Thurston and thosS
under him have granted the use oil
the buildings on many occasions
without consultation with the board
but It is known that Mr.. Thurstor
would not grant permits for using tht
schools for election purposes without
submitting the matter to the whole
board. And there are members Of
the board, IL Is known today, who ar,
| skepticAl about having school build
ings get into the realm OF politics, en-
failing criticism. Other members o.
the board see no harm in allowing
the school buildings to become cleo
tion precincts, pointing out THAT II
many States throughout the countr!
school buildings are always used 70
such purposes.

Committee From Federation OF

Him to Decide If Election

By BILL PRICE.

President Wilson today has be-
fore him the question whether he
would favorably consider the ap-
pointment Of a man for Commission
er of the District if that man were
selected in a preferential primary
held under the auspices Of the FEEDER
alton of Citizens Associations.
An answer to the reuest Of the as
sociation. submitted today through
CHARLES S. Shreve, its president, and
Charles A. Baker is hoped for with
in a short time, and the committee
which went to the White House this
morning to seek the attitude of the
President earnestly hopes that he
will not only be specific as to an
early primary, but will indicate his
hope to see statutory suffrage within
the District before he leaves the
White House.
Submit Letter.
The committee did not ask to see
the President, but submitted a letter
for him, saying that the association
would like to present to him the
name OF q representative citizen for
his consideration in the filling of any
vacancy that may arise, believing
that selection, II made in a primary,
would reflect the sentiment OF the
people of the District.
Unless the President does approve
a primary there will be no election
of the sort that has been under ad
visement for more tnan a week, and
which has caused wide comment
throughout Washington. All plans
for such a primary will be dropped
until the Tip" comes from the White
House as to what the President
thinks on the subject.

Do not be deceived by any press
dispatches conveying the impression
that the Hinderburg line is ''crum-
bling" That line has been broken
it is true, but the Germans are con-
stantly falling back into even
stronger and intrenched positions
while the English and French must
advance oyer IAN exposed front.
Progress will be be slow after the
first break. Besides the U-boat
menace is real. Germany would
hardly have consented to the bar
barism of the submarine and risked
the entry of the United States into
the war if she did not believe that
the undersea terror would win.
And it may require years to perfect
an effective weapon against the SUBJ
marine. We have entered world
war that has no equal for terror,
barbarism, pillage and destruction.
Let us realize that at the outset.
Every available resource must be
employed to win for Prussian mill
tarism must be destroyed.
