Five Sailing Vessels Sunk Since Last Friday By
 German Pirate. OIL TANKER PUTS
 UP STIFF FIGHT Finally Sunk After Long Battle With Loss of Two
 of Her Crew.

A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug. 6-Search was made in Canadian waters by govern ment vessels today for 8 Ger man submarine which since Friday, has destroyed five sail ing ships and the Standard Oil tanker Luz Blanca, sunk yes terday after a running fight 40 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia.
 Except in the case of the tanker, two of whose crew were killed by an explosion of torpedo, all hands took to small boats and reached shore safely. Reports by officers of the sailing vessels attacked indicated that the U-boat had been away from home waters many months. This was shown by the footing of the British schooner Dornfontein, from which the raider took aboard a six months stock of provisions and clothing. Other ships were forced to give up such stores as were desired by the enemy craft.
 The U-boat kept right after other victims from the moment it stopped the Dornfontein, a four-master, on her maiden voyage out of St. John, N. B., off Grand Manan, Friday morn- ing. The German commander did not waste torpedoes or bombs on the Britisher, which he set af1re, but the hulk later was picked up by fishing vessels and lowed to port.
 Preceding thence into the sea track followed by fishing schooners, the U-boat sank four with bombs. The last of these was the Nelson A., hailing from Yarmouth, N. s.
 While finishing the job the sub- marine sighted steamer in the dis tance and set out after her at full. speed.
 Whether this vessel was the Luz Blanca, the crew of the Nelson A. was unable to say. When the tanker was attacked she showed fight, but the range of her guns was not equal to that of the U-boat, which kept back far enough tqa be out of danger. The tanker gave the enemy hard fight, however.
 l. A torpedo tore through the stern of /. the Luz Blanca and she settled l quickly. Even when it was plain to | the U-boat commander that the ves- gel was disabled and going down, and while thee rev was starting off in 1 three small boats, the U-boat let loose her deck guns but the shots were wild. l A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug. G. The British schooner Gladys J. Hol- land, has been sunk by a German suh- marine. The crew, which landed to- day at Nova Scotian town, said the attack took place yesterday morning

PROVISION FOR
 EXEMPT|O IN
 NEW BILL WIDER

Washington, Aug. 6-Broader pro-. visions for exemption have been written into the new man power bill, now before congress. so that the na- tions war industrial fabric may not be upset by unduIy large withdrawals of men over 32 years of age for mili- tary service.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder, appearing today before the Senate Military committee, explained that he had deemed it advisable to substitute the word occupations and employ ments' for the word industries" us-l ed in the existing laws regarding eK-. empttons. This would make possi- ble a more liberal interpretation of the law and prevent the induction in-; to the army of many men perform ing essential work at home and yet not actually in essential occupations.

London, Aug. 6.-The evil effects of 'TNT' on workers in munition fac tories have been largely overcome by a close medical supervision of the workers combined with improved methods of working and the substi- tuition of mechanical processes.

ATTEMPTED RAID
 COMPLETE FIASCO

London. Aug. 6.---The attemn+ed raid by German zeppelins on the East Anglan coast last night proved to be a complete fiasco, according to re- ports thus far received.
 British fiiers met them well out at sea, bringing down one in flames, damaging second and driving a third away The fate of the other two airships in the squadron is not disclosed in the official statement. The fact, however, that the report said "zeppenns crossed the coast" Is ground for the presumption that these reached land
