TRANSPORT SUNK
Victim of Torpedo 700 Miles
East of Delaware
Capes.
SIXTY-SEVEN MEN MISSING

Since June 18-Four Boat
loads Safely Ashore.
tBy Associated Press.

wASHlNGTDN. June 2i-Sinking Of
an allied transport under American
charter on June ls about 700 miles
east Of the Delaware capcs was re-
ported to-day TO the Navy Department.
The transport had no troops aboard.
and was westward bound
The troopship apparently was not
under convoy. The submarine was not
seen until torpedo had struck the
ship. Afterwards the submarine arose
TO the surface and fired nineteen shots
into the sinking vessel. When the
steamer settled the crew took to the
boats. the occupants of four of which.
numbering eightyone men. have been
landed. Three boats are missing. AMI
search is being made for them.
The fact that the British vessel was
sunk off the coast led officials TO be-
licye that she either had encountered
homebound submarine that had been
operating in American waters or else
one that was bound here for further
raids on shipping. The fact that the
sea wolves. which first appeared off
the coast late last month. had not been
heard from since June II caused most
officers to hold TO the first theory.
The last sinkings reported off the
coast occurred some ninety miles cas-;
of the Virginia capes, and II was argued
that In the four days clapsing before
the British transport was sent down
the submarine would have had ample
time to reach the position where the
troopship was sunk.
THREE BOATS, CONTAINING
SIXTY-SEvEN MEN, MISSING
Three boats with about sixty-seven
members of the crew are missing. The
crew of 1iS got away from the vessel
in seven hoats. four of which have been
landed. The total rescued 50 far is
given as eighty-one men. Two boat
loads arrived by steamer at New York,
one by steamer at Hampton Roads and
one by sailing vessel at Bermuda.
Under an agreement with the British
Admiralty, the Navy Department IS not
permitted to announce the name Of the
vessel sunk. Unofficial reports have
reached here from New York that she
was the Dwinsk. British steamer.
formerly under the Russian flag. She
was OF s,113 tons.

FARMERS ARE LEAGUING WITH DIRTY

Back the Onrushng Organization of Farmers;
1t Be No Flash in Pan

The National Non-Partisan League
movement of farmers in Colorado is
disturbing the politicians and profit
eers. Agents are being sent thru the
country districts to disrupt the work
of Non-Partisan League organizers.
Charges of disloyalty against the
league are being made on the West
ern slope by travelling agent named
Phillip S. Bates, who says he repre-
sents the National Manufacturers
Association and bankers of Denver.
Anyone who asserts that the farm
ers of Colorado are disloyal is given
the lie by the vigorous way in which
they are supporting the government, in
raising record food crops, purchasing
Liberty bonds, donations to Red Cross
and complying with all the rules Of
the national food administration.

The postal employees of the govern

reached Denver in a telegram Wednes-
day night from Senator John F. Shaf-
roth to The Labor Bulletin, which
briefly stated:
I'VE have just passed an amend
ment to the postoffice appropriation
bill providing for a 20 per cent in
crease to all postal employees"
This news was Immediately given
TO employees in the Denver postoffice
and was the occasion for great rejoic-
ing. as il meant that the long fight for
wage increase had been won. The
existing schedule of wages for postal
employees had not been changed for
ten years.
Thursday the Senate passed the
amended bill, and it now goes to q
and Senate. There is no doubt, how.
ever. of the wage increase being ac.
cepted by both branches of Congress
and will be signed by President vii

ployes will be granted an increase il

RADIO of the National Non-Partisan
League:
Mr. R. W. Morser, Denver, Colo.
Dear Mr.. Morser: 1t happens that
Philip S. Bates of the Manufacturers
Association is making a tour of the
Western slope in his efforts to block
the leagues growth. While he was
in Gunnison he talked freely to a
friend of mine, and this is the burden
of his story
My friend said to him, Why. I
thought the Non-Partisan League in
Colorado merely flash in the PAN
This remark called forth a most Sc
rIous warning from Bates. He said
in substance, My headquarters is
Portland. Ore, and my business is to
investigate the Non Partisan League
in the various states where it is work
ing. You would be greatly surprised
now fast 1t Is growing and how pow
erful it is. 1t will carry Idaho and
Montana and North Dakota. 1 came
down here TO Colorado TO find it grow
/ ing surprisingly fast in this state.
Not only are the farmers joining in
great numbers, but they have formed
working agreement with those dirty,
greasy laborites. The labor federa-
tion of Colorado has joined with the
league and thai makes it doubly dam
gerous. Here in Colorado / am
financed by the clearing house banks
of Denver and we are making as
hard to fight as possible to checkmate
the movement. Every insurance man
in every town in the state should help
[ to his utmost in trying to stop the
league. 1t is pledged to state insur-
ance and if successful will tend to
largely destroy the insurance bust:
ness. We must, above all things,
stop it. Did you know that over here
on the Western slope the farmers are
going TO start paper of their own?
They can't get their stuff before the
public, so in addition to their mem
bership fee in the league, they are
also taking subscriptions for this new
paper and my business over here is
chiefly to try to find out about that.
l was down in the Arkansas valley
the other day talking with a banker
president about the great danger of
the league. He said to me, You are
over-estimating its danger; the farm
erS around here will not join it, His
cashier overheard him and said, Don't
you fool yourself; here are Sl,40O in
membership fee checks signed by the
very farmers you are saying won't
join. They are about all joining in
this locality And that is the way it
IS SOlIlS- we nave gut al organizer
in Jail in Northern Colorado for Sc
ditious utterances and we are after
others as hard as we can go. But the
membership keeps increasing surpris-
ingly fast. Its the duty of every bank
TO help stamp it out. Leading banks
of this state have Investigated. the
league and know it is spreading pro-
German propaganda, is disloyal, is So
cialistic and closely allied with the l.
w. VS.
"Such is the mission of Bates. His
office is 600 Club building, 1871 Arap-
ahoe street, Denver. Mr.. Bates spoke
before the Rotary Club of Greeley and
there told them he was sent out by
the leading banks of Denver
THE above are sef-evident facts
that big business in Colorado is
financing the dirty campaign against
the league.
Sincerely yours,
ALBERT DAKAN."
