TWO ADDED TO LIST

New York. June 1.-Two more ycs- sels, Norwegian steamship and one schooner. were added today to tile list of ships known to have been sunk by the German submarines which are adding in American waters. The O. tai now stands at 13-five steamers and eight schooners.
 The fact which stood out most prom inently in the days developments is that the U-boats still are operating near the coast and have not returned 10 their bases, assuming that the two which already have been identified are the only ones on this side of the Atlantic.
 This was demonstrated when the Norwegian steamer Eidsvold was sunk off the Virginia capes late yesterday The location of the attack shows also that the submarines are moving stead- 5000 to Camp Cody, New Mexico.

mentioned was a three-naSted schooner at all sails set. No flags were not dis cernible, therefore the name and na- tionality were unknown to the Radio- leine
 At 9:15 a. m, June f. the Radioleine saw an English snokebox adrift and later passed large quantity of appar- ently recent wreckage. At 10:40 D. m he heard three shots at the head and to the northward of his position He heard one more shot at 2:05f and one more shot at 2:15 At 2:16 a. m., ap- parently the time when he sighted the submarine. he sent an $ o S signal and shortly afterward someone unknown en- tered OK. s O S. At 7:55 a. m. he sighted q destroyer.
 DESTROYER IN PURSUIT
 "The destroyer passed the Radioleine at S?l0 making all speed heading in the direction of the submarine Apparently the destroyer did not see the submarine until the Radioleine changed course to starboard, as the captain of the Radio leine purposely kept between the sub marine and the destroyer so the subma- rine would not see the destroyer
 AS soon as the submarine saw the destroyer he submerged. The captain did not see the submarine again and is unable to tell what the destroyer did because the Radioleine was too far away when the destroyer reached the spot where the submarine disappeared.

WAS SIX MILES AWAY

"The submarine lay broadside to the Radioleine when the captain sighted it. Apparently some one from the sub marine was on board the sailing ship, Whether or not their boarding party was taking stores he was uncertain At no time was the submarine closer than six miles to the Radioleine. The Ra- dioleine was making good speed while getting away. No shots had hit her. No damage was done, and there were no casualties.
 NO flag was visible on the subma- rine. Before the Radioleine fired she hosted the French colors. AThe schooner

Captain Says Hun Vessel Submerged as American Destroyer Went at it

U-BOAT so LARGE

 A U. s. DESTROYER
Radioleine Fired Three Shot at U-Boat Off Mary land Coast Before Run
 ming to Safety

Washington, June 5.-The story of the captain of the French tanker Radioleine, at tackled by submarine off the Maryland coast yesterday, reached the navy department today, showing that the raider had fired 15 shots at the French vessel from long range before an American destroyer, answering an IS o s." ap- peared.
 The destroyer passed full speed ahead toward the enemy, which promptly submerged. When the de- stroyer reached the spot where the U-boat had disappeared, the Radio leine was too far away to see what happened. None of the shots hit the tanker, and three which she fired at the raider went over.
 The captain said the submarine was so big that when his lookout sighted her six miles away he reported her as an American destroyer.
 Following is the navy departments summary of the Frenchman's story:
 LAY NEAR SAILING SHIPS
 The submarine was so big that at first the lookout thought it was an American destroyer He was about six miles distant from the Radioleins The submarine when sighted lay about two lengths from three-masted sail ing ship (probably the schooner Ed ward R. Baird Jr, which later was sunk) and the lookout reported 1t to the captain as a destroyer. But the captain. with his glasses. recognizedi it as a submarine. The captain was i'll doubt as to the nationality so did not fire. but manned his guns. He changed his course from east to west and the submarine opened fire but the Frenchman still held his fire until the submarine fired the second time. Then he fired. range about 12.0O0 metres.
 +1The French ship fired in all three shots. He kept a direct course and did not zig-zag. The submarine fired between 15- and 20 shots. The French before he sighted the submarine. lie believes that these were fired to stop the sailing ship.

>U-BOATS STILL WORK OFF COAST

fly southward. if they are the same ones which attacked shipping almost at the gateway to New York harbor. The navy department reported yesterday an encounter between a destroyer and q submarine off the coast of Mary land
 Another fact which is regarded as significant in marine circles here is that none of the vessels reported sunk thus far was sent to the bottom by torpedo. It is considered certain that the undersea craft carry torpe- does and that they are conserving them
 in the hope of attacking trans port loaded with American troops. The unarmed merchant ships attacked thus far have been sent to the bottom by bombs and shell fire.
 OTHERS MAY BE REPORTED
 Possibility that vessels still unre- ported may have been sunk was seen in statement of the master of the here today with his rescued crew. He declared he was told by the commander Of the submarine which destroyed his ship that the U-boat had sunk thr, a steamers, one passenger liner an1 three schooners, last Saturday. No yes. sells have been reported sunk that day and is it believed either the U-boat cap- tain was lying or that Captain Hansen misunderstood him.
 So far as known the only loss of life was aboard the New York and Porto Rico liner Carolina and that was detl- nitely established tonight at only 16 by revised figures compiled by the com pany show ing that there were aboard the vessel cnly 21S passengers and lli in the crew, making total of 329 in stead of $50, as originally reported. Al those ptho perished evidently were lost from the lifcboat which arrived yes.et- cay at Lewes, Del. Ten of them were passengers and six were members ut the crew.

Reports of survivors of the steamer Texel and the schooner Mendel today added little to the information gatE- cred about the raiders. The first of ficer of the Texel reported seeing a second submarine, lying awash nearby, when his ship was halted on June 2. From the captain of the Mendel came new indications that one of the rai1- CTS, at least, is of the standard SG3- ton type. mounting two guns and measuring about 200 feet It was a similar craft which sank the Cole, all though later reports have indicated that larger U-boat accompanies the footer

PICKED NEUTRAL CRAFT

Why the JI-boat commander picked out neutral craft for attack is not ap- parent. The errand and cargo of the EidsvolG are not now known Nor wegian vessels have suffered heavily in tic North sea operations of the Ger mans however. and it is evident that Germany's own version of the rules o1 sea warfare are those to be applied by her l-boat commanders, even outsl1e the zones fixed for ruthless operations.
 The rules of cruiser warfare as Ger many interprets them have apparently been followed closely by the raiders, with the possible exception of the Eds- vold's case which is still to be cleared up. Otherwise, ships companies have invariably been given some chance for their hves when their vessels were Je- stsoyed. The ruthlessness which drew the United States into the war has not so far been applied to American coastal waters except that passengers have been left 10 shift for themselves far at sea in small boats.

WELCOME,
EIGHTY.sEvENTH CANADIANS

We were q new battalion. We had
been less than seventy-tw0 hours on
the continent of Europe, and the Ger
mans were not supposed to know any,
thing that was going on behind our
lines!
We learned afterward that concealed
telephones in the houses of the Bel
gian burgomasters of the villages of
Dinkiebusch and Renninghelst, near
our position, gave communication with
the German headquarters opposite us.
One of the duties of a detail Of our
men soon after that was to stand these
two burgomasters up against a wall
and shoot them.
In concluding this first article 1 want
to say frankly that any man who
claims he is not afraid when for the
first time he goes into that hell of fire
on the western front is a liar, and I'll
tell him SO to his face. Later we be-
came impervious, but that first day
