for knew what had happened First
flashed: s o 6, steamship Carolina be
ing gunned by German submarine.
Cape May answered, but then the
German submarine wireless operator
broke in. His instrument was tuned for
a radius Of only few miles. so he
could talk TO ships he was after and
not be overheard ashore. The subma-
rne said
You don't use wireless-we don't
shoot"
"Then repeated the S o S. and the
Brooklyn Navy Yard answered. The
submarine repeated its warming I told
him we were stopping, then tried 10
/ 5 o s again but the minute ! touched
the key the Germans fred at us. tried
/ repeatedly but each time just the min
ute they caught my wireless on that
sub they sent another shot al MS.
Both Brooklyn and Cape May asked
our position but the captain ordered
me not to try TO talk any more as he
was afraid the Germans would kill the
women aboard with their gunflre.
Before we left destroyed the naval
code book. then put our papers In
silver pitcher and dropped them over
board The captain ordered us all out
side. II took about - minutes TO get
all hands into the 10 lifcbOats. We had
plenty OF boats"
Many OF the survivors were without
proper clothing and some were unable
70 talk about the submarine attack
without symptoms OF hysteria. The
military men aboard gave the clearest
accounts. Because OF the crowded con-
ditlon OF the schooner scores were
obliged to sleep on deck Worn and
exhausted though they were, little
group managed to raise a feeble cheer
when they saw the waterfront build

morning mist
1T was about O'Clock when we
heard the first shot," said Lieutenant
j. p O'Toole, u. s. A. AT first we
thought il was an American patrol (
boat. But it soon convinced us other /
wise. A shot went over the bow, then .
clear over the ship. another /
hit in the wake and a fourth fell short /
Then il came closer and we could see /
t for what il was-Aa big German sub
marine with the crew in yellow slickers
standing on deck and two OF them +
waving German flags"
Estimates OF the size NJ the German
,rew varied from % TO 40. Il was gen
orally agreed the U-boat was about
80 feet long and that she carried what
appeared to be two 6-inch guns, one
fore and one aft.
The boats were launched without ac-
,ident while the pirate circled around
and around the doomed liner the Ger

TO PROVIDE COY
HOMES FOR men
BACK FROM FRONT

London, April ia new plan to
provide comfortable homes for dis
charged soldiers by enlisting country
people to act as country hosts to
the army men has just been launched
by the Marquis of Sligo, himself a
former captain in the army, and Wis
count Knutsford, long interested in
charitable enterprises. They have
formed the Country Host Institution
which hosts are urged to join.
The scheme has a two-fold object.
1t aims, not only at giving the broken
soldiers lift but also to qualify
them for farming work, thus increas-
ing the country's food supply.
Briefly the plan requires the host to
provide free lodging and board for
the man and a good-sized garden or
farm in which suitable, light outdoor
work can be found for him. The
man selected as guests shall be Of
good character, sober, not sufferins
from any serious ailments and able
to look after themselves
An allowance of 5 shillings week
will, if required, be paid direct to
the former soldier in return for his
| labor.

GERMAN PAPERS
PRINT GLOOMY
FOOD ARTICLE
DR.. Won Bretterick, Bavar-
ian Minister Of Interior
Gives Forecast.
HEAR COMPLAINTS
ON FOOD QUALITY
Potato Acreage Decreased
One-Fifth Below Peace
time Figure.

Amsterdam, April 16.--Correspond
ence of The Associated Press. IA
gloomy view of the food situation in
Germany was outlined by DR.. Won
Bretterich, the Bavarian minister of
the interior, in forecast which has
appeared in the Berlin newspapers.
The public was told that mot only is
there no chance of the potato ration
being increased, but we must think
ourselves lucky if 1T is maintained at
its present level The Bavarian
minister said he hoped the bread ra-
ton might not have to be reduced
and that the meat ration may be
kept at its present height, but there
was little confidence in the tone of
this assertion.
Special preparations of cereals, on
which many hopes were based a few
weeks ago, were not yet on the mar
ket in any considerable quantities,
and the public must wait for a daily
ration of half a teacupful.
Wholesale complaints of the quality
of food being supplied at the public
kitchens throughout Germany appear
in the newspapers. The director OF
public kitchens, in reply to these at
tacks, issued the following statement:
with the continuance of the war,
the quality of the materials we re-
ceive becomes ever proper, and the
choice more limited. We are COM
PEELED to take what is offered us or
go without. Complaints of defective
| quality are simply ignored, and if we
insist upon receiving a regular sup
ply we run the risk of being entirely
cut off. The fat quota allotted to us
grows ever smaller, spices are now
scarcely obtaina!ble, and the substi-
tute spices have a bad flavor. The
vegetable supply is now limited t0
kohlrabi and turnfps."
A pessimistIc article on the potato
situation by a member of the Prus-
sian House of Deputies says that thu
acreage under potatoes has decreased
by one-ffth as compared with the
peace time figure. Mot only is thk
acreage less" he says, 'but the de-
mard is greater, and a crop double
that of peace time would not fully
| suffice"

LABOR SHORTAGE
MAY HOLD UP WORK

Plans for the construction of an
immense new storage reservoir in
Easton by the Bridgeport Hydraulic
Co. may be interfered with by the
acute shortage of labor now existing
in this section. 1t is probable that
the work may be delayed for a year,
Although it is planned in advance
of actual needs, the consumption of
water is growing, and necessity will
soon compel the construction of the
reservoir. 1t is planned for the
holding and distribution of 1000, 00O,-r
900 gallons, about equal to the ca
pacity of the Hemlocks reservoir, con-
structed some years ago.
