DESCRIBES MURDER 0F
 BELGIAN PRINCE CREW
A Negro Survivor Relates Slaughter By Heartless
 U-Boat Commander.

Liverpool, Aug, 9.-William She'll. negro of Jacksonville, Fla, the only American survivor of the British ship Belgian Prince which was sunk July S1 by German submarine with the loss or 38 lives, today gave details of h1s experiences to The Ass'd Press.
 "A torpedo hit the engine room. A submarine then came to the surface, aoout zoo yards to starboard and 'nreo~ at our wireless apparatus. We left the Belgian Prince in three boats and had got 50 yards from the ship when the submarine came alongside and asked for our captain, who was taken aboard and inside tho U-boat.
 The members of the crew were ordered to hold up their hands and the Germans asked If there were any 7gunners among us. Although there were two we said no. The Germans next asked five had any pocket arms.
 We were then ordered to the deck of the submarine where we told by the commander to remove our life belts and to lie on deck. This we did then the commander went into the boats, threw the oars into the sea apfl had his men remove the provisions. After that the plugs were tken out of the holes in the boats which were than cast adrift.
 "The submarine went to the north ast for 12 miles, the commander taking the Hfebelts to the top of the coming tower and throwing them overheard. I hid mine under rain coat, and as the submarine began to submerge tied 1t around my neck and Jumped into the sea-
 ''The rest of the crew stayed on deck until they were swept off by the sea as the boat dived. It was a terrible sight. One by one they threw up their hands and went down, or, fight ing to keep up. they splashed water as they disappeared"

FIRST DISTRICT TO CALL
 OUT 300 TO 800 MORE MEN
Frequency of Exemption Claims Makes Move Nec- essary-Harold Lee Judd Passes Examination.

Owing to the large number of first, third and fifth ward registrants being entitled to and claiming exemption because they are aliens, coupled with the fact that so many of those ex- amined are claiming exemption be- cause of dependents, to say nothing of the large number of men who are physically disqualified, it will be nec- essary for the first division draft board to summon between 300 and 500 additional men for examination next week. Chairman A. F. Corbin stated today that these men will be called for examination on next Thurs day morning as it is apparent to the board that the first districts quota of 274 men cannot be obtained from has been the case during the past two days, there has today been a preponderance of registered aliens seeking exemption and in this class the Russians, including Poles and Lithuanians, far outnumber any other nationality.
 Those in charge of the exemption board were treated to a series of shocks this morning when Adam Steinski of Gilbert street appeared,
 
 called and investigation showed that he was near the bottom of the draft list. He was much disappointed and was so insistent on joining the United States army that he was sent to the New Haven recruiting office. The other shock came simultaneously with the advent of a powerful young man who said he was single but claimed exemption. His claim was that his father, aged 80 years, his mother, aged 75 years, and his little eight year old brother all depended on him for support.
 Already there have been a number of men accepted who announce that they intend to claim exemption for occupational reasons.
 Harold Lee Judd of Franklin Square, the young millionaire and husband of Mrs. Charles Gates Judd of Minneapolis, is included in the first draft. He was examined by Dr. George w. Dunn and while not physi- cally perfect was accepted by the doc tor. The young millionaire has not presented any claim for exemption.
 Among the scores who are claiming exemption because of dependents are many foreigners who declare that they are supporting parents or other re- lations in foreign lands. One case has been brought to notice in which young husband and wife both worked. Immediately upon passing the physical examinations the hus- band presented a claim for exemp- ton because of his dependent wife and that evening the young wife re- signed her position.
 One hundred and thirty had been accepted up to 3 o'clock this afternoon.
 Thus far the board has found but twenty real slackers; men who were notified to appear and mysteriously disappeared leaving no address. The board has been instructed to record every man who does not appear when orde as duly accepted and enrolled in the army. The police have been re- quested to be on the watch for several of these.
