Despite anticipated trouble, most of
it manufactured, registration of young
men subject to the war draft passed
off without incident throughout Min

there were some failures, but only in
a few cases were they deliberate. In
the cities, especially registration day,

saloons were closed and in the cities
especially they were tight.

CHARLESTON. s. c., Feb. l.--Federal
officers had been unable tonight to
ascertain the cause Of the sinking OF the
German freighter Lebenfels, which set
tied TO the bottom in the harhor here to-
day under circumstances that led marine
men to believe sne mad been scuttled.
Capt. Klattenhofr of the vessel. which
has been laid UP here since the war be-
gan, would give no information concern
ing the incident. j. Lubken, the first Off
Ger. told Fred &. Peters. the Collector of
Customs, that he was asleep when the
ship began to settle this morning and
knew nothing about it,
Collector Peters examined the ship late
to-day and later conferred with Assist
ant United states Attorney Waring, but
neither would disclose what was dis
cussed. Collector Peters will make a
more thorough examination Tomorrow.
He has instructions from the Treasury
Department at Washington to make u
detailed report.
When the Lebenfels was first no.
ticed TO be sinking the tug Cecilia offered
assistance. but 1t was declined. The ship
gradually settled until she touched bot
tom in about thirty feet of water
In an hour the vessels bow was high
in the water and the stern was gradually
settling. but capt klattenhoff and five
or six officers still were aboard. The
crew of Lascars were sent to their homes
soon after the vessel tied up here at the
outbreak OF tho war.
