SURVIVORS TELL
NARROWING TALE

Lewes, Del, June 4.-Nineteen
survivors, passengers and crew OF
the summarized steamship Carolina
were landed here today and brought
narrowing tale of the sea, the news
of the loss of 16 of their number
and a remarkable rescue of a girl
while they drifted helpless on the
ocean during a severe thunder storm
Sunday night. Ten boats left the
Carolina before she was sunk by
the German submarine U-37, all
passed through the same storm and
the survivors here said they had felt
surue all were lost. They, expressed
great joy when informed that most
of the Cardinals company had been
saved. The 19 persons landed here
were brought in by a British vessel
which picked them up more than rs
miles off the Delaware capes. They
were taken in charge by the naval
authorities. They made full state
ments to naval officers. None of the
survivors had any knowledge that
the submarine had shelled the life
boats.

BEER SURVIVES
Hoover Opposed to Pro
posed Plan.
WOULD OUTLAW ALL.
WOULD OUTLAW ALL.
But Food Administration Does No,
Want Nation on "Whiskey, Gin
and Brandy Basis"

Washington, June 5.-Adminis-
tration opposition to any attempt to
stop the manufacture of beer and
wine so long as the sale of whiskey
is permitted, was made certain to-
day with the announcement that
Food Administrator Hoover opposed
such step because he believed the
evils attendant upon putting the ma
ton on "whiskey, brandy and gin"
basis would far outweigh the small
food savings that would result.
President Wilson already had
stated in a letter to Senator Shep-
pard of Texas, prohibition champion,
that he would not use his power to
prohibit the use of foodstuffs in
beer and wine Unless Mr.. Hoover
regarded such q step as necessary.
After the opposition Of the presi-
dent and the food administrator had
been made known, Senator Sheppard
and other senators said the senate
would strike from the 100000
emergency agricultural bill house
amendment prohibiting the use of
some s6,OOO,OOO carried by the
measure unless manufacture of wine
and beer was stopped by the presi-
dent.
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
of the agricultural committee, upon
his return to Washington, tonight,
said he was inclined to oppose the
amendment because a very small
proportion. of grain is being used in
the production of alcoholic liquors
since the distilling Of whiskey was
stopped last September. Senator
Smith said efforts would be made
to have his committee take up the
bill without delay.
Mr.. Hoover explained his position
in a statement made public tonight
along with his letter to Senator
Sheppard. He said that eff the Am
erican people want prohibition it
should prohibit by legislation to
that end and not force the food ad-
ministration to the responsibility for
an orgy of drunkenness"

ALLIES Line HOLDING
AGAINST HUN ATTACK
French Press Highly
Praise the Americans
THE AMERICANS ARE FULL OF
ZEAL, SPIRITED IN ATTACK
AND STEADY AS ROCKS.

Washington, June 5.-An official
dispatch from France today says the
French press is commenting in the
warmest terms on the intervention
of the American troops in the great
battle taking place between the
Oisne and the Marne.
GAIL the newspapers lay stress
upon the brilliant operations of the
wood of Veuilly and of Jaulgonne",
said the message. "The Matin
writes Amongst the reserves which
are continuing to arrive it is neces-
sary to note the American troops
which, though scarcely in the lines,
have distinguished themselves by re-
establishing the situation in an in
dependent sector. The Americans
have shon themselves full of zeal,
spirited in the attack and steady as
rocks in the defense. These young
robust soldiers have in a few weeks,
with tremendous effort, become
on modern battlefelds the equals of
their French and British comrades
who were their instructors.
eve will wager that the Germans
who amused themselves by speaking
ironical terms of the army which
came from the other side of the
water, must by now have changed
their opinion concerning the mill
tary qualities of an adversary that
has inflicted a telling check on their
best troops of attack"

UNCLE SAM HAS PART.
Sending of Economic Representa-
tive of State Department to
Rome May Be First Step.

Washington, June 5-What may be
the first step in a general policy of
more active participation in pra-
parations of the nations at war
with Germany for the after-the-war
trade struggle has been taken in the
appointment of an economic rep
resentative of the state department
to join he American embassy at
Rome. 1t was learned today that
the new envoy is about to proceed
to his post. .
Though the recommendations of
the Paris economic conference never
have been formally accepted by the
United States which in the past has
viewed with disfavor attempts to
impose artificial distractions to free
commerce, recent developments in
Europe have led to conference be-
tween representatives of the entente
powers and officials of the state de-
partment and the war trade board
which may result in complete
change of the attitude.
The entente powers and America,
as the plan has. been explained,
would be excluded from the mar
kets of this mittel-Europa combina-
ton, but on the other hand would
be forced to buy Germanic products
at prices to. be fixed by the makers,
So the American officials have
been told that the instance of self
preservation dictates that some ar
rangements, be made between the
entente allies and America to pro-
tect them from this menace and
insure mutual aid and assistance
not only through financial loans and
credits, but by special tariff ar
rangements insuring their supplies
of raw material against German
control.
The Italian government recently
appointed a commission to study
after-the-war problems and with
this commission the American eco
nomic delegate is expected to have
close relations.

NO TORPEDOES YET
USED BY SEA PIRATES
Believed Submarines Reserving Tor
pedoes With Hope Of Getting
Transport.

!, New York, June -5.-Twc more
vessels, a Norwegian steamship and
one schooner, were added today to
the list of ships known to have been
sunk by the German submarines
which are raiding in American wat
ers. The total now stands at thlr-
teen-fve steamers and eight
I schooners.
4, The fact which stood out most
prominently in today's developments
!. is that the U-boats are still operat-
ing near the coast and have not re-
1 turned to their bases, assuming that
& the two which already have been
identified are the only ones on this
sside of the Atlantic.
2 The location of the attack shows
also that the submarines are moving
4 steadily southwark, if they are the
same ones which attacked shipping
almost at the gateway to New York
Eharbor. The Navy Department re-
ported yesterday an encounter be-
tween a destroyer and a submarine
Eoff the coast of Maryland.
Il -
Another fact which is regarded as
Significant in maritime circles here is
THAT none of the vessels reported
sunk thus far was sent to the bot
tom by torpedo. 1t is considered
eertain that the undersea craft car
ry torpedoes and that they are con-
Serving them in the hope that they
may get. an opportunity sooner or
hater to attack transport loaded
with American troops. The unarmed
merchant ships which have been at
lacked thus far have been sent to
the bottom by the use of bombs and
thell-fire.
"a possibility that vessels still un-
Exported may have been sunk was
een in statement of the master of
he schooner Samuel C. Mengel, who
rrived here today with his rescued
r. rev. He declared he was told by
he commander of the submarine

ben reported sunk that day and it

as lying or that Captain Hansen

So far as known the only loss of

is definitely established tonight at
