Taken OF Torpedoed Ships

New York, June 4.-Sixteen sur
viyors from four vessels that were
victims OF submarine attack were
brought here today by an American
coastwise freighter from southern
waters.
Navy officials took the men In
charge after they landed, but II was
reported they were additional survi-
vors from the schooners Edna, Hat
tie Dunn. IsahelB Wiley and Haup-
pauge.
Had Been Prisoners
Like some OF the other survivors
of those vessels who arrived last
night. a number of the 16 brought
in today we're held prisoner abroad a
U-boat, possibly a different one.
About eight of them were kept for
II days on the U-151. The others were
members of the crew OF the Haup-
pauge, last of the four vessels sunk,
and in one Of whose life boats the
16 men were set adrift.
The men told nav officials who
questioned them that they were well
treated abroad the U-151 and that
her commander said to them when ne
took them abroad:
A New Kind Of U-BOat Captain
-
az am going to hold you on board
because I do not want to let 1t be
known I am operating in American
waters l am not the kind Of German
that kills men II he doesn't have to"
Upon setting them free they quoted
the commander as saying:
81 am letting you go because II
is getting close to the time when
may have to return"
Meantime the men said they had
been virtually given the freedom OF
the boat and had received the same
rations as the German crew. Some
OF them displayed some German
money which they had exchanged for
Americans coins as souvenirs.

TRAP SET TO
CATCH AMERICANS
Yankee Scouts Dig Up Big Steel Traps
I'm No Mans Land

Paris. France, June THE latest
German barbarity consists OF q man
trap similar to a bear trap. discovered
in No Mans Land by Corporal Leon
ard Manser and Sergeant Victor l..
vaupel, United States engineers. Cor
poral Manser, after bringing In the
trophy to the trenches told how he
came to discover 1t. He said:
I'VE were in the trenches on the
night OF May "a, when Sergeant Vau-
pei an myself decided to go on a
scouting party We crept carefully
over the top. making our way through
the barbed wire entanglements and
into one shell hole after another.
after we got half way across No
Mans Land my cane was ierked from
my hand. Advancing a few steps /
stumbled upon the trap which had
been released by the pressure OF the
cane On examination I found the
trap set TO catch scouts, and chained
to a stake In the ground. ] loosened
up the chain and brought the trap to
our trenches. The continuance is
three feet long and has jaws eitheen
inches wide with teeth two inches
long. II is designed to give the vic
tim great pain and make him call for
help. This attracts his comrades who
become targets for a German machine
gun fusilades which results in the
annihilation Of the entire party"
The trap is In the Paris Y. M. G. A.
and will be shipped to America as a
trophy

Washington Sees Sub Failure
Washington, June 3.-Germany at
last has brought her submarine war
fare to the shores of the United
States, apparently in a foriorn hope
of striking telling blows on this side
OF the Atlantic and drawing home
some OF the American naval forces
from the wa . where the U-boat
menace is being slowly but surely
strangled to death.
In the attacks upon coasting e

see a frantic admission from Berlin
that the submarine has failed.
American armed power Is dolling
overseas in eyer-increasng force, de-

PRIMARY RETURNS
COUNTY AND STATE
Light Vote and Little Interest Sup
posed to BE Due to War

The party primaries of last week
were perhaps the most Indifferent on
the part of the average voter of any
held in the state since this method
of selecting candidates came into
vogue. In theory the primary is ideal,
in practice 1t falls down, because only
a small percentage of voters take
enough interest to join in selecting
party candidates.
Results I'm State
Unofficial returns received at Pierre
indicate that Senator Sterling has
been renominated by republicans over
former governor Byrne, Burkhart for
Secretary of State, Payne for Attor-
ney General, Reeves for Auditor,
Shaw for Supt. of Public Instruction.
Christopherson was nominated for
Congress in the LIST district over Con-
gresham Dillon, and Congressman
Johnson was renominated in the End
district.
The Attorney General contest had
more local interest because of a Hand
county candidate. There were five
men filed fer this position, which
was won by Byron Payne, of Pierre.
The local man, Harlan Bushfeld,
received a splendid endorsement from
his home city and county. He car
ried several counties in central South
Dakota. Details are not available
until the official count is made.
On the democratic side the returns
indicate the nomination for Rinehart
for U. S Senator.
The County Vote
Hand county republicans cast a
vote of agout 400, and expressed their
preference on state and county candi-
dates as follows:

.NON-PARTY LEAGUE
TO NAME A TICKET
Announcement Is Made at Mitchell
That League VIII Have State
and County Tickets

Mitchell, May 31.-Preliminary
steps towards presenting a full South
Dakota Farmers Nonpartisan League
ticket at the November elections, both
for the county and the state, will start
Saturday, June %, at 2 p. m, when
members of the league will hold their
precinct meetings for the purpose of
electing delegates to the Legislative
conventions, according to a news item
in the Mitchell Republican.
Letters calling the attention of the
members to those meetings are now
being sent put from the Nonpartisan
League offices in Mitchell.
Each league member is told to meet
In his W precinct on the date named
to help elect one delegate. If a county
has tw~enty-four precincts, twenty
four delegates will be chosen to at
tend the Legislative convention. This
convention is similar to the county
conventions of the Democratic or Re-
publican parties which meet to nom
mate candidates for the various coun-
ty and Legislative offices and to elect
delegates to the state convention.
Thus a few days after June %, the
precinct delegates will be called to
meet in their Legislative districts to
endorse or select men for county and
legislative offices. Later a state con-
vention will be called at which time
the state and congressional candidates
will be selected.

TIDE OF BATTLE TURNS
S. MILES FROM PARIS
French Army's Counter Attack Stops Ger
man Drive on River Marine

London, June 3.-Reuter's cores
pondont at French headquarters tele-
graphing Sunday at midnight, said:
Until today it was only possible
to hold the enemy from hour to hour.
"The eremy's numbers enabled him
to maneuver and go around obstacles
in his path; but his numerical van
ishes from day to day and we now
have arrived at the stage where the
formation of a continuous line forces
the Germans to attempt massed at
tacks against strongly held positions,
instead of turning them"
Continuous Advance Stopped
Altho it cannot be said that the
Germans in their new offensive have
been definitely stopped, there is,
nevertheless, a marked diminution in
the speed with which they started out,
and their gains since Saturday have
been relatively small when compar-
ew with those of previous days.
Toll of Lives Enormous
And, according to- the accounts of
unofficial observers, wherever they
have been able since the stiffening
of the allied lines to attain new posi-
tions, an exorbitant price in lives has
been exacted from them.
So great have been the casualties
suffered that the Prussian guards
division-the pride Of the German
crown prince-is declared to have
been withdrawn from the battle.
French Have Gained Ground
Particularly hard fighting again has
been in progress between SoissonA
and Chateau Thierry, where the Ger
mans are ~endeavoring to push further
toward Paris, but not alone have the
French troops almost everywhere
successfully withstood the onslaught,
but on several sectors themselves
have taken the initiative and gained
ground. AS a whole the situation
along this line is relatively unchang-
ed
Admits Fresh Units Oppose
The German war office has at. Ast
admitted that the allied line on the
west has been reinforced by fresh
units, but IL asserts that they have
not been able to hold the positions
to which they were assigned.
Nevertheless the fact is patent from
an observation of the war maps that
almost everywhere in this region the
German line, for the moment at least,
is being hard held.
From Chateau Thierry eastward
along the Marine and thence to Rheims
the situation is virtually unchanged
from that of Sunday.
The eneMy now holds the northern
bank of the Marine for a distance OF
about Is miles, but as yet he has made
no serious endeavor to cross the
stream.
German Losses Great
The news of what 1t has cost the
German armies II men killed. wound
ed or made prisoner IL the present
battle is reaching Germany thru no
less authoritative source than the
semi-oficial Norddeutsche Allmeneine
Zeitung. This journal prints a letter
from a German colonel at the front
who urges the people to bear their
losses with patience and confidence.
Little fighting aside from the usual
small affairs between raiding parties
is taking place on the Flanders front.
The British have carried out success
ful raids on several sectors here and
taken nearly 800 prisoners.

DRIVING RIvETs SLOW WORK
Not Only That. but Enormous Number
Of Them Are Needed In
Steel Ship.

The largest single item In the labor
Of fabricating steel ship Is In the
riveting Of her hull; therefore the
driving Of rivets Is taken a. standard
Of size and Of progress by most Of the
shipbuilders. To build 10000 ton
ship a week means the driving OF
about 10000 rivets in that time. The
Union shipyards Of San Francisco. a.
at present equipped and freed from 10.
bor troubles. can drive about 100000
rivets, although In a record week II
drove 411.000 rivets; the four next
largest yards In America-at Fore Riv.
er. Mass. at Newport News, Va. at
Camden. and at Philadelphia upon the
Delaware drive 100000 to 276, 1000
rivets q week each. A half dozen
smaller steel shipyards will drive from
$1,000 to 10000 each seven days.
Riveting. despite all the inventions
devised to speed II up. remains hand
work and slow work. A riveting gang
consists Of two men and two boys-
the riveter. his "holder-on." the passef
boy and the heater boy. The gang
drives from 800 to 876 rivets In the
course Of q ten-hour day and II tired
at the end Of It. But when you know
that II takes four men all Of working
day to drive an average Of little less
than $50 rvets. you can begin to ~
the full size Of the inbor problem OF
driving at least e50.000 rivets q week
necessary to turn out . 1O.000-ton
ship at the end Of that length Of time.
In other words. you need 100 men for
the riveting gangs alone.
