Wofk-Teuton Predictions OF Hav-
Ing England On Her Knees
BY June Empty.

London.-The sinking of IS mer-
chantmen of more than 1,600 tons Is
reported in the weekly shipping state
ment.
Nine vessels of less than 1000 tons
and three fishing vessels also were
sunk.
The statement Is as follows:
For the week ending Sunday, ar
rivals, all nationalities, 1864; sailings,
1859.
British merchantmen of 1000 tons
or over sunk by mine or submarine,
IS; under 1000 tons, nine.
British merchantmen unsuccess-
fully attacked, nine.
British fishing vessels sunk, three"
American Units Helped.
This weeks figures of vessels sunk
by submarines show that the Allied
navies are keeping up the good work
of the previous fortnight, and the
American unit, although still small
one, shares the credit for excellent
work. Not only are the sinkings be-
ing kept at fairly low figure, but the
offensive against U-boats also continue
to show favorable results. The actual
figures in this respect, however, are
not known.
The British Admiralty this week
wears pleased smile at the mention
of the submarine campaign, for the re-
suits of the naval work in the past
two weeks are regarded as really in
dicating an important victory over the
Germans. The German naval people
throughout the early months of the
ruthless U-boat war freely predicted
that England would be ION her knees"
by June /, and gloomy pictures were
painted of grim famine certain by that
date for the people of Great Britain
and France.
Methods Constantly Improved.
June / is almost here, and German
victory in the submarine warfare
seems as far distant as ever. There
has been a constant improvement in
the methods of the Allies in opposing
and suppressing U-boat activity, and
these methods have become more and
more successful with longer days and
finer weather, and increasing familiar
ity on the part of the shippers of mer-
chantmen with the methods OF naval
control
An Admiralty official said:
"The American destroyers are play
ing no small part in the anti-sub-
marine war, and our officers have ex-
pressed the greatest enthusiasm at the
spirit, enterprise. acumen and quick
with which the American
unit has taken up its work. 1t is the
old American doctrine of keeping ever
lastingly at it.
"The Germans, who at first said they |
would strip us of our tonnage by June
|, have now advanced the date to Oc- |
-ober, and we are confident that when |
October comes they will be under the
same necessity of advancing the date
again"

AMERICANS HELD AS
PRISONERS OF WAR
Notice Served on Germany to
Release Them.
ANOTHER TREATY VIOLATED
Relief Workers In Germany Who Re-
mained To Finish Up Their Work
Reported Among Thoee
Detained.

Observation-Disclosures are being
detained as prisoners of war by Ger.
many, in Belgium and in Germany, II
was announced by the State Depart
ment.
AS result demand has been made
upon Germany for complete and
definite statement OF her attitude con-
corning the departure of American
citizens. This demand has been made
through the Spanish Ambassador at
Berlin, who represents American in
terests in Germany.
The action of the German govern
ment Is in complete violation of the
Prussian-American treaties of 1899 and
1923, which provide certain rights for
nationals of either nation in the other
in time of war. One of these rights
Is permission to depart at will for
nine months after the war declara-
tion. The United States has observed
its obligations, having acted promptly
on all applications of Germans to
leave the United States.
Relief Workers Held.
Among the Americans detained are
said to be relief workers in Belgium,
who stayed behind to gather up the
loose ends of the work at the time
Brand Whitlock and the majority of
the Belgian Relief Commission were
withdrawn.
At the outbreak of the war there
were some 5000 Americans in Ger
many, including several consular Off
GERS. These later reached Switzer-
land with the exception of one, who
was Ill. About 500 Americans left Ger
many. OF the remaining $500 a num-
ber were of German birth, naturalized
in the United States. State Depart
ment officials expressed the belief that
the majority of these hyphenated
Americans had probably renewed their
German allegiance.
The other bona fide Americans, how.
ever, apparently have been unable to
leave Germany despite their efforts
to do so. II was strongly intimated at
the State Department that if Germany
does not Immediately reverse her posi-
tion and allow any Americans who
wish to depart, immediate reprisals
will be adopted by the United States.
Treaties Violated.
The State Department has made no
of its belief that Germany
has violated the Prussian-American
treaties. The first violation of the
treaties by Germany was the destruc-
tion of the American sailing ship Will
liam p. Frye by the commerce raider
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, now the United
States steamship Won Steuben, in the
opinion of State Department authori-
ties

TO ENLARGE COMMERCE BOARD.

Pending In House.
Washington.-The bill to increase
the membership of the Interstate Com
merce Commission from seven to nine
members and allowing them to divide
into sections for expediting business
was passed in the Senate with an
amendment by Senator Smith, of
Georgia, providing that the whole COM
mission must give hearing and con-
firm freight rate increases before they
become affective.

May Annul Treaties.

The probabilities are that early con-
gressional action toward wiping out
the treaties will be asked. This will
leave the nationals of both countries
on an even plane and the United States
will be in position to legislate con-
cerning the treatment of alien
enemies, instead of being bound by
treaty obligations.
Besides the American civilians who
are being detained in Germany, latest
reports indicate Germany is holding
about $50 other Americans in her pris-
oners' camps. They are for the most
part sailors captured on British or
other ships by German raiders or sub
marines.

MORE ALIEN WOMEN
Than men HERE

One hundred and seventy-two alien
women registered at police headquar-
refers during the week of June II, the
registration coming to close Wed.
nesday night. About 80 registered at
the post office, only those living in
Wayne county, outside of Richmond,
registering there.
This number exceeds the total reg
istration of alien men last winter. and
it is probably due to the fact that the
women have outlived their husbands.
Only $50 men registered.
The officials in charge Of the regis
tration of alien women refused to
make the names public.
