RAIDINC U-BOATS
ARE NEWEST TYPES

NEW YORK, June 8.-Despite the
many discrepancies in the ktories
told by those who saw the German
submarines which have been operating
off the New Jersey coast, it has been
possible for the authorities to get fair
w clear ideas os at least one of the
enemy vessels.
f, From the size of her guns and super
structure the number in her crew and
her length of over 300 feet, it is plain
| that the U-151 is one Of the newer
and larger types of German subma-
rines now in commission. From mem
bers of the crew of the Texel, landed
yesterday at Atlantic City, came the
statement that the commander OF the
vessels that sunk their ship claimed
to have been formerly the captain of
an American liner.
Enoch Roker, a negro seaman who
was first a member of the crew of the
i three-masted cruiser Edna, says that
one of the crew of the submarine told
/ him that the U-151 was one of the fleet
which left Kiel two months ago after
big celebration provisioned for a
six months cruise.
"Ou one of the hunks" continued
Roker, 81 saw the number U-151, and
| also saw the number U-153 on a
monkey wrench, which used to tight
en- down the matches, but think that
the wrench came from another sub.
They said that after leaving Kiel they
had circled Bermuda and visited the
West Indies, and had passed Cape Hat
teras several times.
1.-The sailors said that while the sub
marines now on patrol carry six
months supplies, they expected to
stay here a year by taking provisions
and fuel from ships which are sunk.
The German took ten days. supplies
from the Edna, inclrding loo cases of
OIL"
| The number 151 Indicates that the
boat must have been built recently, as
the U-1OO is the highest, so far as is
known, to be carried or the navy
lists The most general descriptions
of the size indicate that she was larg-
er than those previously listed.
1 OF twelve members of the crew Of
the Texel, two said that the submarine
which sunk their vessel was $50 feet
long and all others agreed that she
was over 800 feet long. ALI agreed

ASTOUNDING RECORD
in PEACH INDUSTRY

ATLANTA, Ca, June S.-The omst
astounding record in the history of
the Georgia peach industry has been
made this season, according to figures
given out today by the Georgia Fruit
Exchange.
Up to June there had been shipped
a total of LAB cars, which was by
far the heaviest shipment ever made
since the industry was established. The
year 1912 was the next largest for
the early varieties, and in that year
up to June 81 the total shipment of
early varieties was only Ait cars. This
means that the 1918 movement of early
varieties has increased 275 per cent
over the highest previous year on
record.
This condition has wrought ire
mendous hardship on the growers and
resulted in a great quantity of fruit
going to waste. No grower could
possibly get adequate help to handle
the crop. This lack Of experienced
men accounts largely for the poor con-
dition in which many of the shipments
have reached their final destination.
Now, however, since the regular
packers and pickers have been secured
their services not being obtainable
prior to the first Of June-a marked
improvement in pack and condition
will Immediately be notable
The Hiley will enter the market on
June 12 and B. J. Christman, general
manager of the Fruit Exchange, esti-
mates that the total corp Of this
variety will reach 1,400 cars, and Ell
bertas will probably go to 5000 cars.

that she had guns fore and aft and
piece of shell picked up in the engine
room of the Texel indicated, accord
ing to Capt. Lowry, that the guns were
six inch The captain said that he
was convinced that the German boat
had come directly across the Atlantic
and had not been provisioned from a
base on this side.
Captain Gilmore of the Edna, who
was one of those taken aboard the
enemy vessel, agreed that she was at
least 300 feet long. He said that the
guns fore and aft were thirty-two feet
long and that the size of their bore
was six inches.

be visited: On Monday, Antioch, De-

Midway, Rehoboth, Shiloh, Sumter
and Andersonville.
These meetings are to all-day affairs,
and the ladies are being requested to
serve only light lunch at the noon
hour. The object of the campaign
is development, enlistment, enlighten-
ment and cooperation in Baptist
kingdom affairs.

Deepest East River
Tunnel Is "Holed
Through" by Blast
Last Barrier of Rock in Six
tieth Street Tube
Is Removed

The SiXtieth Street tunnel under the
East River, connecting the Sixtieth
Street subway in Manhattan, to be op-
Grated with the B. R. T., with the ele-
waited railroads to Corona and Astoria,
was "holed through" yesterday after
noon at 3 O'Clock, the niast which broke
a~sy the last segment of rock, about
twelve feet in thickness, having been
fired from the shaft house at Avenue A
and Sixtieth Street
The tunnel goes under the East River
at Sixtieth Street, Manhattan, and
emerges at North Jane Street and Yer
non Avenue, Long Island City, and
from that point becomes AN elevated
structure, continuing into the Queens
boro Bridge Plaza station Both the
b. K. I. and the Interborough trains
eventually will use the two elevated
structures to Astoria and Corona.
The new bore is the deepest Of any
of the tunnels under the dual system
contracts. 1t is more than one hun
dred feet beneath the surface of the
East River at some points, and was
constructed under the highest air
pressure ever employed in tunnel con-
struction under the water in this city.
1t required the placing of false bot
tom under the river at some points
The laws of the State of New York
prohibit the use of more than fifty
pounds of compressed air for sustained
periods. 1t was known that the depth
of the west channel was such that, to
go clear beneath it. probably would
necessitatc the use Of more than fifty
pounds pressure. Permission was OBJ
tanned from the War Department to
sink a false bottom in the west chan
nel More than 100000 yards of clay
and rip-rap have been deposited in
the river, and the upper half of the
tunnel, for quite distance near the
centre of the west channel. is driven
through this sort of material.
While the tunnel work was under
the deepest point, the working period
was forty-five minutes each, with two
shifts for a days work When this
tunnel is completed, during the early
part of next year, and the installation
is complete. it will be operated in
connection with the B. K. T's Broad
way subway, which now runs to Times
Square, but which is to be extended
in the near future to Fifty-ninth
Street where connection is made with
the line to Queens.
