DON'T USE WIRELESS"

NEW YORK. June 5.--"Don't use
your wireless and we won't shoot" is
the newest made in Germany war
slogan under which the emperor's
submarine commanders are carrying
their campaign of frightfulness into
American Atlantic waters, according
to persons among $50 survivors Of the
steamship Carolina. who were brought
to this port aboard coastwise
schooner early today. The Carolina
was destroyed by U-boat gun fire so
miles off the Delaware capes on Sun
day evening.
Stories told by passengers and crew
OF the sunken vessel indicated that
Edwin W. Vogel of New York city, the
ships 19-year-old chief wireless oper-
ator. played a spectacular part in the
dramatic raiding 'of the Carolina.
When the submarine messaged the
you mo wireless we don't shoot"
Vogel defiantly repeated his IS. o. S"
signals which he had already begun
flashing and was on the verge of ans
wering queries from Cape May and
the Brooklyn navy yard stations for
the Cardinals position when Captain
r. II. D. Barbour. Vogels commander,
ordered him to quit his key and see
whether the Germans would keep
their pledge. passengers declared.
Captain Barbour said he decided to
accept the proposition laid down by
the U-boat skipper because he believ-
ed dissent would have meant forfei-
ture of the lives of the women and
children aboard the vessel.
Whistles National Anthem.
After abandoning ship, survivors
reaching here said some one in life
boat began whistling The Star-Span-
gled Banner and it was almost in
stantly taken up by those in the other
boats-the men joining in the whistl-
ing and many of the women singing
the words of the national anthem
Veteran mariners who superintend-
ed the allottng Of lifeboats to those
on the Carolina declared the coolness
and expedition with which this tack
was accomplished was remarkable
Few women became hysterical, they
declared and most Of these collected
their wits under the rebukes promptly
accorded by other women of stouter
courage.

with nice weather continuing for
the rest OF this week harvest in Uma-

pleted. 1t is said with favorable
weather fully three quarters OF the
machines of the county will be
through by that time.
The harvest this year has been
earlier than in normal years. and the
predictions u fearlier in the season of
a less than normal crop proved
correct.
Early in June an estimate Of the
crop for the county was made. Civ
ing the total as .0OO.GO bushels. So
far as known at this time the first
man to make this estimate was W. l..
Thompson. president Of the American
National bank. and so far as can be
Judged from results it is thought this
estimate was about correct. Though
there are some who believe this fix
ure too high. few even shave that
figure to 100000 bushels.
There are fields where the Weld has
been very good. "a number being bet
ter than 40 bushels to the acre As
