Registration of Men Reaching Age of 21 Since Last June Being Carried Out by 4,500 Local Boards Turnout
 Naton-Expect 75 Per Cent Effectives

Washington, June 5.-Today, on the of Americas first man. power mobilization, another million youths, the estimated strength of the class of 1918, register on the first station of the journey to the colors.
 When their draft registration cards come into their hands, they come to the disposition of swift, smoothly working and practiced organization, whose agencies in every country side. hamlet, and city of the land have as stunned successfully the task of dis eliminating between the nations need for men who can fight or work, and it's additional need for men at home to support it's dependent population.
 Observers, foreign and domestic. military and civilian alike. class the performance to date under the Ameri- can selective law as the most tangibly successful of it's military efforts, and regard the accretion to the manpower reservoir of the youngsters who had not reached their majority one year ago as the most certain assurance of the final downfall of the Prussian autOcracy. Be it near or far the day of allied victory cannot be evaded, the practical military view is. so long as the rising flood of the American armies, drilled, equipped and equip ping, can be turned to the European battlefront.

NAVY BELIEVES
 DANCER IS OVER
 AND U-B0AI GONE
Officials Think Only One Raider Did Damage-No
 Record of More.

Washington, June 4.-Navy depart ment officials believed today the sub marine or submarines that sank prob ably more than 10 American vessels off the Atlantic coast was on its way back to it's base, and that for the time being the danger was over. Sec retary Daniels announced this morn ing that no additional advices of sub- marine activities had reached the de- partment.
 Warships, submarine chasers and airplanes were securing the seas tor day in search of the enemy. Navy of ficials threw veil of secrecy over the movements, however, and request ed newspapers to make no mention of their whereabouts There is a. growing impression here that only one submarine took part in the raid The navy department has only one report to indicate the presence of more. That is the statement of the captain of the schooner Cole that he saw the peris- core of a second U-boat.
 MT. Daniels said today that nothing to confirm other reports indicating that from one to five submarines had been off the coast hal been re- ceived.
 The secretary reiterated his opinion that thel purpose of the raid was to create demand in the United States for the return of American naval craft to home waters. This. he said, was based on speculation and not on any concrete information.
 No information has reached the department it was said, indicating that during the il days or more the submarine is now known to have been in American coastwise waters. 1t had any communication with agents ashore.
 It is understood. however. that the naval service has not neglected that possibility and that every effort to check up what has transpired along the coast is included in the program it is following out.

Washington, June 24.-Only inter vention by the federal government can prevent general strike of oper ators employed by the Western Union and Postal telegraph companies, s. J. Konenkamp. President of Telegraph CTS Union, said tonight before leav- ing for Chicago Union. Upon his arri- val there he planned to mail out the call for walkout as the result of the refusal of the Western Union to sub- init to the jurisdiction of the nation al war board which sought to com- pose the differences between the com- panies and men.
 After two days spent here in dis cussing the situation with admins tration officials, members of con- gres and labor leaders, MT. Konen- kamp said he doubted that even should the government decide to in tervene action could be taken in time to prevent the men from going out. He declined to estimate the number that might be involved.

 en.nS in Night Storm
 at Sea.

Lewes, Del, June 4.-Nineteen sur vivors, passengers and crew of the lsubmarined steamship Carolina, were landed here today and brought a narrowing tale of the sea. According to the survivors the Carolina was warned late Sunday afternoon by wireless to look out for the submar- ines. The steamer was advised that a three masted schooner had just been sunk and was cautioned not to show lights. At o'clock Sunday a submar- inc appeared close to the Carolina. She was about $50 feet long, the sur- vivors said, and later was identified as the U-37.
 "We were ordered to heave to-" said one of the survivors, land the captain fearing the submarine would shell the steamer if he did not obey the order, signalled the engineer to reverse the engine and stop. A Ger man officer with an armed guard came alongside and gave orders to our captain to lower all boats and leave the ship in 20 minutes. Ten boats were lowered and everybody got in. There was little or no con- fusion. All the time the submarine lay as close as possible. When the last board was clear of the ship, the Germans left the Carolina and in few minutes the submarine shelled her seven times. Then she burst into flame. It was beautiful Sunday ev- ming as we drifted no one knew where. The sun began to set as the Carolina sank.
 "A storm came up quicker than we expected it. The boats pitched and soon became separated. We who were in the motor launch seemed to be alone in the storm. Rougher and rougher became the water, and the boat rolled and pitched. Finally she capsized and all of the 35 in her were thrown into the sea. She was righted and capsized again, while we clung to her. This occurred several times.
 Weak Dropped Off
 "The storm passed and the sea began to calm. It was pitch dark, Fin ally we kept the launch righted, but she was full of water we chung to her and bailed out the water with our hands. Some could not stand the strain became exhausted, let go their hold and sank. We bailed out enough water to let one of us in. Then he bailed furiously and enough water was scooped out to permit second to get into the launch ke kept on bailing until the launch was able to bear the weight of a third and fourth. We kept this up all night until un- til finally all those who still culng to the sides of the motor boat were able to get in. when the last was help ed over the side. we found out that there were but 19 of us, 16 had gone"

 The work of the American machine gunners was particularly noteworthy, There was at least one instance when an entire attacking party was wiped out. The most determined attack against the Americans was made last night, preceded by heavy artillery bCmtardments,, when the Germans came on in waves. They penetrated the American trenches but We're quickly elected leaving many dead Two earlier attacks Monday and three Sunday had the same result.

This has been found an insufficient sum for the work, and as a consequence but 3.200 feet of a 16-foot-wide pile bridge will be built at present, leaving 3.225 feet to be added to the structure when funds are available. The contract has been let to Carl Carlson and John Erickson, employees of the Copper Riv- CT railway, who bid $7.50 per foot. or $24.OOO. for the proposed improve ment.

WORKING CLASS MAY RULE

Count Westarp predicts that under the new German electoral bills the working classes may rule the Prus- sian Diet. He estimates that whereas the Socialists have at present only 10 seats in the Diet. they would have under the reformed franchise, 14O seats, while the Poles would have 35 instead of the present 12. The Center party would have it's representation reduced from 100 to 90. The Radicals would have between 40 and 50 as at present The Junker majority. which at present holds 27O seats would lose one-half. The Diet consists of 455 members. and majority could be made of the Socialists. Poles and Radicals. or by the socialists and the Central party.
