U-BOAT DANGER
 IS THOUGHT BE
 ENTIRELY OVER

the Atlantic coast and compiled here it is shown that up to tonight the toll of the German submarine raid along the Atlantic coast has been 5s persons. This includes those that are known to be dead and also those reported to be missing. All of those who are reported as dead as a result of the U-boats are from the steamer Carolina, which carried total of $50 passengers and crew. The rest, with the exception of the 58, have been landed at m Atlantic port.
 Several fiocks of airplanes, in bat. tie formation. took to the air today at different points along the coast They are flying close over the wa ts rin an effort to locate some of the missing lifeboats from the ta,D. 'ina. A continuous close sel.S. is also being conducted for the enemy craft.
 BELIEVE SUBMARINE RETURNED
 WASHINGTON. D. C.. June 4.-- The government officials here be- lieve that the submarine or sub. marines which have been active off the Atlantic coast for the past two days have now returned to their base. It Is not known whether the sinkings were caused by only one U-boat or more.
 Ii is thought that the danger is over for the time being. as there have been no additional reports re- ceived today of any submarine ac- tivities. An estimate of the num- Der of vessels sunk by the Germans is placed at 10 or more. It is evi- dent that the Germans failed in their purpose, which was the sinking of American transports that might be caught leaving eastern ports enroute for France. The results of the raid conducted by the enemy are negli. gible.
 Several warships, submarine chas- CTS and airplanes are securing the sea for distance of several hun dred miles along the eastern coast in search of the U-boats. These searchers have reported that so far they have been unable to locate any enemy craft.
 There is an impression growing among the naval officials that only one submarine has been engaged in these activities. From the reports that have been gathered all along the coast it seems probable that but one enemy boat conducted the raid.
 The officials are now wondering if this submarine could have been the cause of the loss of the missing collier Cyclops. This vessel has been missing for several weeks and absolutely no trace was ever found as to It's whereabouts. A statement made by the commander of a sub marine to one of his victims was the cause of this conjecture. This com. mander said that his craft had been in the waters of the western Allan tio for the past two months. The party to whom the statement was made has arrived at an Atlantic port and sent the information di- rect to the naval officials here. It is thought probable that this subma. rine either torpedoed and destroyed the Cyclops or captured the boat and sent it under escort to Q Ger man port. In the latter case the crew of the vessel would, in all probability be still alive.
 MANY RESCUED
 AN ATLANTIC PORT, June A. A schooner arrived in this port this evening with 300 persons, compris. ing part of both the passengers and crew of the Porto Rico line steamer Carolina These people had been rescued at sea in open boats. But very few of these survivors of the torpedoing show any bad eff. fects of their being forced to stay in the open boats for some time They were sighted by the schooner, which was on the lookout for any survivors, and were immediately picked up and rushed to this port. EIGHTY MISSING NEW YORK, June 4.-According to the captain of the steamer Caro. lima, there are 80 persons missing now from the ship. This total in. eludes both passengers and crew It has not yet been possible to make complete list of those who are missing.
