OIL TANKER IS SENT DOWN.
o. Is. Jennings Figured Twice In Sub
marine War Annals.

Washington, Aug. 5.--The sinking
OF the American tank steamer o. B.
Jennings yesterday, 100 miles off
the Virginia coast, announced to-day,
revealed the presence of at least two
German submarines on this side Of
the Atlantic. The second raider has
been operating off the coast of Nova
Scotia and nearby waters for several
days, where several fishing schooners
have been sunk.
Radio calls for assistance from the
Jennings yesterday apparently
brought the first information that a
submerSible was in the waters where
the first raid was carried out in May
and June. Patrol boats rushed to
the assistance of the tanker, but
when they arrived the ship had been
sent to the bottom.
They picked up one boat load of
survivors and search is now being
made for the second boat containing
the captain and 13 men.
First reports to the Navy Depart
ment to-day placed the number of
survivors landed at 30, but later it
appeared that 32 might have been
picked up.
Only meager details Of the sinking
have yet been received. Presumably
the Jennings was sent down by she'll
fire, but this will not be definitely
known until naval officers have had
the opportunity to question the sur
vivors. All hands on board got away
In the small boats. and as the wea-
ther was fair 1t is expected tho miss
ing men will be found either by pa
trolls or passing steamers.
Steps to deal with this latest raider
have been taken by the Navy Depart
ment and patrol boats and seaplanes
already are searching the coast wa
ters. Officials reiterated that the
movement Of troops to France will
not be interfered with.
10 Men on the Jennings.
New York, Aug. 5.-There were 10
men on board the Jennings.
This is the second appearance Of
the Jennings in the marine casualty
tanker collided off the British coast
with the British steamship War
knight, also oil-laden, and 81 lives
were lost. All but one we're burned
to death on the decks of the War
knight. set afire by the collision, and
ono Of the jennings crew was
drowned. The jennings, aflame. was
menace to shipping, and was she'll
ed by British warships until her
decks were awash, eXtinguishing the
fire. The ship was then towed into
shallow water and salvaged by wreck
ing tugs in the service of the United
states forces abroad. Temporary re-
pairs were made and she was on her
way to United States shipyard when
sunk. The value Of the ship is said
to have been more than a million
dollars.

South Carolina, Implicated.

Washington, Aug. s. United
States Commissioner Richardson to-
day fixed at $500 each bail bonds for
! the bonds for Edward Travis, men,
! ber of the Corporation Commission
of North Carolina and one Of the
most prominent lawyers of that
State; Delim Barnett Joseph, of
Chicago, and Leon Myer Green, now

The three men were taken into
custody late yesterday afternoon on
warrants sworn out before Commits
sioner Richardson by a special agent
of the Department Of Justice on a
charge of conspiring to evade the
draft law.
Green is within the draft age, and
the warrant charges that the three
men conspired to obtain for him
deferred classification. In further
ance OF the alleged conspiracy, the
warrant charges that Green entered
into contract to be employed by
the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company
and to devote all his time to such
employment, whereas, in fact, he
was to be free from obligation to de-
vote his time thereto" 1t is also
charged in the warrant that Green
made oath before his draft board in
New York that he was engaged in an
industrial enterprise necessary to the
maintenance OF the military estab-
liShment
Back Of the arrest is said to be an
allegation OF conspiracy to defraud
the United States Of vast sums of
money in connection with contracts
hn 4
declared they were able to negotiate
with the shipping board According
to reports reaching the Department
Of Justice. Travis, Joseph and Green
had been negotiating with the Dry
Dock Company for several months to
procure contracts totaling $40,00O,-
600. under which the Perth Amboy
Dry Dock Company of New Jersey
was to build ships for the United

1t is reported that Travis, who

sentative Kitchin, before the latter
came to Congress. expected to receive
fee Of 100000.

$1.50 ton on each ship built under
the proposed contracts, and Green
was to be employed by the shipbuild-
ing concern.
Richard +. Mcdonald, a Chicago
banker, connected with the Perth
Amboy company, Is said to have
discovered the details of the alleged
agreement and to have advised the
Federal authorities, 1t Is stated.
Bond Is being arranged 80 that the
three prisoners may be released.
They are confined in three different
city jails here. the idea being to pre-
vent them from having further in
tercourse with each other.

COTTON SHIP SUNK BY SUB.
Bound from Savannah "POrtO" Struck
= $50 Miles OF Coast.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The Portu-
guese bark Porto was sunk by a Ger
man submarine $50 miles off the At
lanti coast. July 27. The Navy De-
partment announced to-day that the
crew Of IS men had been landed at
an American port by British
steamer
After overhauling the bark, the
submarines crew destroyed it with
bombs placed In the cargo of cotton
No further details were given, but it
was assumed that the crew was per-
mitted to take to the small boats.
The Porto was bound from Savannah
for Oporto.
This Is the first official word of a
submarine operating off the coast re-
ceived here since sea wolf appeared
suddenly off the Massachusetts, sea-
board eleven days ago and shelled
tug and barges 1t was towing. This
occurred several days after the Uni
ted States cruiser San Diego had been
destroyed off Fire Island, N. Y, pre-
sumably By mine planted by the
submersible.
There was no Information to show
that the submarine which sank the
Porto was the same one that attack
ed the tug and barges. but it was as
sumed that it was. There have been
several unofficial reports recently of
steamers sending radio messages
that they were being attacked off the
coast, but If they were destroyed
their crews have not yet been landed
on American shores. so FAR as the
Navy Department has been advised.
No Longer Big Factor.
Washington. Aug. 1.-The theory
Of the submarine as a determining
factor In the war has been exploded,
Secretary Daniels declared to-day,
after reading the. boast OF the Ger

fighting the vital forces which are
overseas. Mr.. Daniels
pointed out that not single Ameri-
can transport carrying troops to Eu-
rope had been sunk.

British Schooner Is Destroyed Near
tho Maine Coast.

tiIo NlalHe tOaSt.
Eastport, Me-. Aug. "A little
cloud Of smoke rising to-day from
the burning hulk Of the British
schooner Bornfontain, 7 miles south
Of Grand Manan Island, at the en-
trance to the Bay Of Fundy, marked
the scene of the most recent German
submarine attack on the Atlantic
coast.
The schooner. lumber laden, from
st. John. N. B.. for a port south, was
overtaken just before noon yester-
day by German submarine her crew
driven into their dory and the vessel
robbed and burned.
After rowing three hours the men
reached Grand Manan Island and
were put up for the night at the two
island life-savng stations.
The schooner was in command of
Capt. Chas. F.. Dagwell, of ST. John,
who had crew Of nine men. She
was just getting into the open sea,
25 miles off Briair Island, when the
submarine rose and fired two shots
across her bow
The schooner quickly came to and
a few minutes later was boarded by
a party of Germans. From their dory
the crew saw tho Germans ransack
their ship and remove provisions
They then set the vessel afire. From
Grand Isle the smoke was visible to-
day, indicating that the craft was
still anoat.
The crow said the submarine ap-
peared to be about 200 feet in
length and carried two guns. Some
shipping men expressed the opinion
1t was the same U-boat that attacked
a tug and barges off Cape Cod on
July 81.
AS soon as news OF the attack
reached the patrol station at Ma
chias lively search for the German
was begun by patrol boats and sub
marine chasers.

Listen, girls! 1t isn't stylish any
more to stand on the heel of one foot
and the inside of the other foot, with
one shoulder higher than the other,
and the head iauntily cooked on one
side.
That was very pretty back in the
days of peace and wastefulness. Our
war has changed the style in the in
terest of efficiency.
In the old days you could afford to
have headache at 3 p. M, and feel
all worn out and lazy at p. m. But
it isn't patriotic now.
Hence, you must stand up straight,
both feet squarely on the ground,
weight resting on the balls of the
