Problems in Europe have changed
since Hoover was in Europe. more than
a year ago. Although he receives ex-

he wants actual frst-hand contact with
officials abroad to learn the exact state
of allied morale as it is affected by the
food supply.
Also the arrival of thousands OF
American troops in France and England
have complicated the foreign food situa'
ton far beyond what 1t was when

sign and production have been found to
be best adapted to the work at the navy
yard and officials there urge all men
with this experience to get in touch with

General Booth will speak at the Mt. Airy

vict" -'.
Mrs. Booth has just had an interview
with President Wilson Secretary Of War
Baker and other statesmen concerning
the plan for releasing selected. convicts.
and President Wilson has taken the mat
ter under advisement. Mrs. Booth
presented a statement to the President
in which she held that the prisoners
throughout the country had contributed
at least 100000 in Liberty Bonds: that
hundreds were working for Red Cross
and systematically using their extra
pay to buy war savings stamps. ~
Many prison inmates she said, have
daily military drill and the average num-
ber physically and otherwise At to bear
arms is estimated at 40 per cent.
Mrs Booths idea is not to form a
prison force as separate unit, as
France did but that the men should be
drafted in the various divisions of the
army or navy best suited to their
capacity. She suggested that the men
be selected by the parole board with a
military representative. -

NINETEEN VINL4ND MEN
BROUGHT TO CAPE MAY

Cape May, \. j.. June S.--That U-boat
raiders have by no means discontinued
their operations on these shores was
demonstrated today, when nineteen of the
crew of the Norwegian bark Vinland
were landed at Cape May Point from a
United States destroyer. According to
these sailors. their vessel was sunk by
German submarine between rs and 100
miles from this point. The destroyer
came In sight shortly before o'clock
this afternoon. Thousands of persons
seeing the vessel approach did not pay
any especial attention to it until signals
t5r lifeboat were given. In answer.
the coast guard put out its boat and
half an hour later it returned with the
survivors.
The men. all Norwegians and Swedes
looked as happy and uTconcerned as II
they were ON a pleasure trip. They car
r!ed a great deal of baggage. including a
typewriter, and had two pet dogs with
them.
Immediately after their landing they
were taken TO Sewe'ls Point. where they
were questioned. and they were taken In
navy trucks uuCer a heavy guard to the
naval hosvital al Wissahickon Barracks
The lifeboat III which they left tbs
I Vinland and ir which they drifted about
for hours was repeatedly shelled by the
raider. according to a story told by one
