NEW YORK, June 4.-The police
department today issued an order
that all display lights in New York
city at night are forbidden until

The order does not apply to ordin-
ary street lights. 1t was explained.
Both the police and fire depart

department has organized emergency
relief units to cope with conditions
which would result from q raid. Each
unit consists Of a group Of specially

Americans at Point
Where Most Desperate
Fighting May Come

With American troops aiding the
French at two points on the new
battlefront. there are indications that
the War Department lad some ad.
vance knowledge of the purpose Of
Gen. Foch. supreme commander. to
put American troops into the fight
on the new lines. 1t is known that
announcement Of some important ac-
tion of the American forces in this
area was foreshadowed in yester-
days official aJvices.
The action at Neuilly. in which the
Americans participated in thrusting
back the German advance. appears to
be on the flank OF a renewed German
effort to press westward. To the
north the Germans have progressed
directly west on the road from Sois-
sons to Compiegne also. It is
thought possible that an effort IL now
being made to encircle villers Cot
terets forest which has so far proved
a stumbling block in the road of the
great turning movement hinging on

PRESIDENT IS AGAINST
NEW PROGRAM OF 'DRYS'
Writes Senator Sheppard Opposing
Further Legislation Without
Hoover's O. Z.

President Wilson today declared his
opposition to further prohibition legisla-
ton until the food administration decides
1t is necessary to conserve foodstuffs. His
position was made known In letter to
Senator Sheppard OF Texas. A House
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill would prevent the expendi-
ture Of $6.000.000 unless the President
prevents the use of grain in the produc-
ton Of alcoholic liquors.
Senator Sheppard announced he
would not make public the letter at
this time. but said he conferred with
Food Administrator Hoover today re-
garding the situation and is now
awaiting his reply. Upon this answer
will depend, Senate leaders assert, what
future action will be taken.
The letter was written in connec-
tion with the Randall amendment to
the $11. 100000 emergency agricultural
appropriation bill now pending before
the Senate agricultural committee,
which would prevent expenditure of
SO, 200, 900 unless President Wilson ex.
ercises the powers conferred on him
under the food act to prohibit the
use of grains in the manufacture of
beer and light wines during the war.

Kaiser's Ten-Day Raid
In American Waters
Is Negligible From
Military View.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The possibil-
fly that every person was saved on
board the coastwise steamship Caro-
lima. shelled and probably sunk by one
of Germany's invading U-boats on
Sunday. was indicated this afternoon
with the arrival of ships at various
Atlantic ports.
At one port the American schooner
Eva B. Douglass put in with about
300 OF the passengers and crew. AT a
second port. a British steamship ar
rived with eighteen Of the passengers
and one seaman This accounts for
319 Of the Carolinas total compile
ment and passengers. $50 in all. of
whom 200 were passengers
Based on these figures. thirty-one
persons are unaecounted for. pro-
viding the eract number carried on
the Eva b. Douglass is 300. Mean
while. at a third Atlantic port, an
other steamship arrived with surviv-
ors Of one or more vessels as yet un-
identified. The suggestion was made
in marine circles that these survivors
might be from the Carolina.
Official announcement that the port
of New York had been reopened was
made this afternoon.
The City of Columbus of the Savan-
nah line arrived at an Atlantic port
bringing safely her passengers and
crew numbering III, who had been
listed as missing.
AiSo at AtidHtiC pOTtS arrived the
steamship Grecian with the missing
crew ct the sunken schooner Jacob
NJ. Haskell: the Governor Cobb. a
United States Shipping Board training
ship, with 200 apprentice seamen
aboard: the steamship Dorchester of
the Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation Company. and the Clyde liner
Huron sfrom a southern port.
The coming to harbor of all these
vessels left unaccounted for. in addi-
tion to the Carolina's missing, only
the crew, exact number unknown here,
of the schooner Samuel w. Hathaway
of Boston.
Reports later came to shipping
authorities today that another Amer
fcan tank steamship had been sunk
by a German submarine. No details
were disclosed.
While the country has been startled
by the appearance of the enemy raider
{ on this side of the Atlantic the fact
stood out today that although 1t has
been in American waters ten days. its
success from military point OF view
has been negligible No transport or
ship bound with war supplies for
Europe has been sunk. The total
American tonnage known to have been
destroyed amounts to something over
10000 tons gross. all coastwise ships,
seven of them sailing vessels.
