but owing 10 the tanker travelling light
she was able to get away unharmed.
Within twenty minutes from the time
the Pratt was sunk two United STATS
ships and a number OF smaller naval
vessels gave chase 10 the submarine,
and in a short time thereafter the United
states ships opened fire on something
at sea, but IL is Impossible TO say Just
what has occurred.
Never since the time the British fired
upon Lewes has this town been so
stirred as II Is, and to the greater part
OF the population sleep was out OF the
question last night.
Lewes Once Bombarded.
Lewes was the scene OF an attack by
an enemy fleet in another war. On
April 6. 1918, three British boats bore
down" upon the town OF Lewes and be-
gan firing a number Of 32-pound shots
at the town. This was followed by a
flag Of truce shown by the commander
of the British ship Belyidera, the larg-
est Of the three. He renewed a de-
mand. made upon March i6 previously,
that the town send him 20 live bullock
and "a propOrtionate quantity OF hay
for the use Of his Brittanic msjesty's
squadron" then at anchorage, TO be
paid for in Philadelphia. ;. B. Davis,
the colonel commanding at Lewes, said
that the requests could not be complied
with. The captain Of the British boat
replied that the people Of Lewes were
"cruel" not to provide the food asked
for. and which would be "honorably
paid for" and suggested that the wo-
men and children be removed at once, |
as he grieved for their distress.
Colonel Harris replied that he was
"a gallant man and had already taken
care Of the ladies'" Then the British
CAPTAIN resumed the bombardment. He
had a feet Of four launches with TWEEN
ty-four is-pounders, two sloOps with !
32-pounders, and a mortar, a pilot boat
with 6-pounders, a schooner with IL
t2-pOunders, and the frigate Belyidera. /
The bombardment began at night ana
was continued until 10 o'clock.
Colonel Davis returned the fire and
disabled one of the enemy's most dan
gerous boats. He sent word to Dover
for assistance and Governor Hazlett
started to command the militia. Pow
der was sent at once by the duPonts
from Wilmington and the Lewes de-
tenders dug the British shot from the
sand and fired them back.
The bombardment continued for
nearly twenty-four hours, the British
firing nearly eight hundred 81 and 49,
pound shots into the town, in addition |
10 shells and rockets. few houses
were damaged. but nobody was injured. |

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Germany ha
failed to gain any military advantage
from her spectacular U-bOat raids on
the American coast II she Intended 30
/ terrorize the American mind she has
/ failed likewise to accomplish that.
These two facts stood out IN bold relief
I today in the wake Of the startling news
[ that Teuton U-bOats had been operating
since May % or our coast, bagging
probably i2 or more vessels or various
types but missing any cargo or troop
transports.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels was
authority for the fiat statement that
American naval strength abroad would
not be diverted to home shores because
Of the foray. Germany, he suggested
wanted strongly TO dent the American
lineup, so she perhaps could under
take important naval actions over
there.
Every available scouting vessel was
on the hunt today for the raiders,
yarlously reported numbering from two
10 five. All up and down the coast,
naval district commanders acting under
their own authority supplemented by
special Navy Department orders, had
out destroyers, U-boat chasers and air
planes.
The fact that operations had been car
ried on since May 25 came as a distinct
shock TO the national capital II was
proven, however, from the fact that tue
derelict Edna, recently towed into
Lewes. Del, and the Hattie Dunn, were
both attacked on that date.
The capture Of those aboard, followed
by their release only added 10 the SEN
sations N this remarkable raid. This
apparently was a part Of the German
plan OF striking fear to the hearts OF
civilians and ship owners.
Il was pointed that the patrol actiy-
ity had been Increased in recent weeks
and that this very fact caused some OF
the U-boat rumors.
What projections the Navy now mas
out, or has had out in recent days
may not be stated. Sullce II TO say
that Navy officials suggested that the
raid covering a period since May -
has been accomplished largely because
OF the fact that the long American
coast line presented a diflcult patrol
problem.
That two distinct operations were in
yolved is the opinion OF many naval
men. The U-boats attacking of Bar
negat sunday were probably not the
same as the ones attacking the Edna
and the Hattie Dunn, May %. II Is
possible that after making the trip
from Germany the U-boats had some
bases along the American or Mexican
coast
II appears unlikely that one or two
U-bosts could make the Journey across
and then operate more than a week
here unless near naval base. Mexico
is almost as far away from Barnegat
as is Europe. 10 Is doubted that any
bases are on this side. Hence II ap-
pears that one submarine did the early
slnkings and that one or more followed
up.
The navy had no fresh advices for
publication at an early hour today, but
anticipated IL would have added facts
soon.
Its last advices last night listed six
victims, the Jacob II. Haskell, Isabel
B. Wiley, Hattie Dunn. Edward II. Cole,
all schooners, the oil tanker Herbert
L. Pratt and the Edna.
Secretary Daniels worked at his desk
in the Navy Department until late last

MAY OPPOSE SEVEN
CENT FARE In COURT

The Voters Non-Partisan League, ac-
oording to a statement given out by
E. NJ. Davis. its president, before he
left for a trip down the State, viii
oppose an increase in trolley fare from
Ave to seven cents. The statement was
given out Immediately following the
tentative agreement reached by the
Utility Commissioners yesterday in
granting the traction company the
right to charge a sevent-cent fare and
requiring II TO sell strip tickets at the
rate OF four for a quarter Mr.. Davis
said that the league virtually agreed TO
a six-cent fare on condition that the
increase be granted to the motormen
and conductors.
The public Is against any such high
raise as seven cents" Mr.. Davis said,
and the Voters Non-Partissn League
win not permit the city TO be done
by the traction company. A cent,
which viii bring an added revenue Of
about si50,000 a year, seems TO me to
be virtually enough TO pay all the in
creasas that are asked by the car
workers. The Non-Partisan League. II
necessary, will take the matter to court
and have It fought out by the due pro-
cess Of law"
