JACOB JONES WAS
 SUNK BY U-53,
 CAPTAIN AYERS
Commander of Sub Which Sank Vessels Off Man.
 tucket Says He Sent U.
 s. Destroyer Down "

London, Wednesday, No vemoer Correspondence of the Associated Press. Ut was the U-53, commanded by Lieut.. Capt. Hans Rose, the German nndersea boat, which sank a number of vessels off the coast of Nantucket, that sent to the bottom the United States torpedo boat destroyer Jacob Jones, the first Ameri- can warship to be sunk by the enemy Ill the great war.
 Word has come directly to London that Rose claims he sent a wireless call for help when lie saw the de- .stroyer was doomed. That statement has not been corroborated. but if 1t IS true. 1t is the only case on cord where a German submarine commander called
 
 claims to have sunk the United States coast guard cutter Tampa, and if that isi true, he has the distinction of sink ing all the American fighting craft sunk by torpedo during the war
 American and British naval officers here considered Captain Rose and his boat without peers in the submarine bi anch of the German navy. Rose's work was daring and spectacular, but devoid of unnecessary brutality, and his submarines career did not end in surrender with the scores of other U- beats. but with internment in q Swed- isk port at the direction of Rose.
 After the U-53 dashed into Newport and then .played havoc with shipping off the American coast, every anti-sub- marine craft commander in the Britisf, navy tried to get" Rose. This ur- mada was augmented when America entered the war During the la,.er part Of the war there were two boats that became the center of intere st on the Q riti submarine craft--the U-S6 and tie U-53--but for Very different reasons.
 The U-86 had sunk the hospital ship Llanovery Castle when it Was ilnpos- { ssble to mistake her type. Every sai,or wanted revenge.
 In chasing Rose. however, there was mere of the desire to best d wiiy ani dang erous adversary, but against whom there was no known stain of commit ting atrocities

IS DUE
 TODAY WITH 5000
 DOUCHD0YS ABOARD.
Former German Liner Va terland Will Reach U. s. for First Time Since
 Arimstice Signed I
By Associated Pres.

New York, December IA. The giant American transport 'Leviathan, formerly the Ham, burg-American liner Vater- land, the largest vessel afloat, is due here tomorrow with be- tween 5000 and 5000 officers and men of the American over seas forces.
 This will mark the first arrival in this harbor of the great ship since he armistice was signed. although dring, the period of America's partici- patton in the war she ferried across the Atlantic approximately 100000 fighting men, together with vast quantities of war supplies.
 Among the first ships seized by this government when war was declared against Germany, it was discovered that members of the Leviathan's crew had done what they believed to be irreparable damage to the engnes with the evident intention that she should not be used against Germany.
 American engineering skill how ever. proved equal to the emergency, and after weeks of hard work, navy mechanics succeeded in not only ue- storing the ship to her former effi- ciency, but actually in securing from her engines a greater speed than her German builders had contemplated
 Armed to degree that made her almost as formidable as a modern battlcship and further strengthened by her great speed, she braved the sub marine dangers of the war zone and came through without scratch Her voyages through the war zone have been 10 in number, and she has. car ried an average of 10 900 men besides her crew
 Launched at Hamburg on April 1, 1913. the Leviathan arrived in New York on her maiden voyage on July 29, l9l4 She made only one icund trip before she was self-interncd here at the outbreak of the war
 The great ship is registered at 54.2S2 tons gross; she is GOT feet long and 100 feet of beam. with engines which originally developed 9s.00o-horse po< CT.
 The hull has five steel decks with four others superimposed. making nine in all above the watcr-Iine. Ele- vators, both passenger and freight make her a floating structure which equals in size some of the largest buildings on land

EISNER DISAPPROVES
 USE MACHINE GUNS

Munich, Friday. December is.-(By the Associated Press )--Premier Eisner, at a meeting today of independent socialists to discuss the coming elections, declared he disapproved of the use of machine guns and hand grenades in putting down political opposition. He expressed dis like for the acts of the Berlin revolu- tionary government, becHuse right was better weapon than might adding:
 But. if anybody dares to disturb revo- llutionary accomplishments then It must be force against force
 The Bavarian leader announced his in- tention of taking the schools away from the supervision of the churches and putt ting them into the hands of the parents, teachers and soldiers and workmen's s councils.
 Premier Eisner claimed he had forced pr. Solf and Matthias Erzberger to leave the Berlin foreign office. He declared he would welcome the internnent by France of the entire German armistice commission, including Erzberger.
 Responsibility for the war. the premier continued must be laid on Germany, beeaase she had operated abroad not only with money. but even with the use ot poisonous baccilli

Issuance of bonds in peace timea will be necessary, he added.
 Numerous amendments to the bill were introduced today for later considerations One by Senator Kenyon of Iowa, would levy 20 per cent on meals in a hotei restaurant or dining car costing moro than g per person, while another by him would permit taxpayers in computing in come and excess profits to make an in, ventory on a pre-war basis of stock, the price of which has been inflated because of the war.

ADMITS SOME DIsLoyAL

New York. December 14.--"We do not attempt to deny that there. are pastors in the Lutheran church who have been in sympathy with Germany, and that some have spoken in way to merit the despfcable name 'disloyaL' Rev. F. H. Knubel president of the United Lutheran Church of America. said in a statement here tonight He referred to the testimony of Capt. George R. Les ter of the army intelligence service who testified today before the Senate committee investigating enemy propa- ganda that some Lutheran ministers had been used to spread German propn- ganda.
 Declaring the history of the church proved its loyalty to the nation. pr. Knubel added:
 "The church and It's authorities have been most anxious to rid the church and the country of the influence of any mar guilty of disloyalty. We pledge our work as Americans and Christians that it is our earnest wish to be of real service 10 our country in these mat ters.'

were unusually heavy and that one regiment had been almost completely wiped out. The state from which this regiment came was not mentioned II was said however, that additional cas- ualties sustained by the famous Rain bow would very soon be made pubic and it was taken for granted that Ala bamianS would be conspicuous by their presence in great numbefs
 The reason for greater percentage of casualties in the American than in the English, French or Italian armies is attributed to the inherent desire of Alabamians to get at the enemy in the open.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-12-15

It is estimated that American cas- ualties will range between 30o,0o0 and 35o,op0. An effort to sustain or dis- prove this statement by reference tc the war department today met with failure. All information divulged was that the casualties were being printed as rapidly as possibleA
 It developed in course of the investi- gation that General Mcintyre, Alabam ian, had just received a letter from Colonel Screws of the Fourth Alabama, Rainbow division, in which 1t Was stated with distress that casualties suffered by members of that division

VOLUNTEERING NECESSARY,

When the United States war depart ment to heed the lesson learned by England, sought the enactment of the -selective service act. General Crowder said that the traditional method of rais- ing armies by the volunteer system was so strong with the American people that 1t was ''dee1aed expedient N tlic very bill the war department presented to Congress for enacsnicnt to fFnvids that limited volunteering might go on" He recalled the great opposition to tne draft and how, "through the iasistenc@ of the President ably supported by the stalwart and aggressive leader ship Df Senator Chamberlain and Representa- tive Kahn. Tn the respective houaeS, the day was saved.'
 Referring to the selective service sys- tenn as the very essence of deElocracy,' the general appraised the faults of the volunteer system. In it's very nature it Is an individualstlc scheme, depend ent for it's existence upon the spontane- ous feryor of the people" he said Tt lis a system which has an eye only to the raising of armies Under 1t the test of patriotism is enlistment in the na- Itions lighting forces. It takes no ac- count of the industrial units which must Ibe maintained behind the battle- front that armies may De fed, clothed and armed.
 Ut (the volunteer system) had it's origin in the days of ohivalry, when war was not business or a contest of industry or mechanics. but a battle of brawn, when armies could live large ly upon the country as they advanced. and nations fate decided upon the field of battle. 1t adheres to the doc- Urine that the chemist may be permitted to lay aside his research and the trained m echanic his lathe, while the unskiiled labor and vagrant continued in their unproductive paths. It Is the anti thesis Of the conservation that the se- lective service promotes."
