NAVY REDOUBLES
EFFORTS TO BAG
U.BOAT RAIDERS

Warrington, June D.
The navy redoubled ite search efforts
on the trail Of coastal U-boat raiders
today.
Astonished by the fact that the Sub
marines are still operating OF snore,
but now apparently southward OF the
Virginia Capes. navy oficials were new
ertheless not dismayed.
They said the patrol Is doing it's best
and that while it is difficult to make
predictions there Is still a chance of
smothering one or more of these raiders
before they scurry off home or to .
hidden base. simultaneously with its
search for the raiders, strong attempts
to locate base were under way.
Convinced that the German subma-
rines which have been operating OF the
Jersey coast now are headed south into
the lane taken by vessels from the West
indies and the Gulf Of Mexico, the Navy
Department has taken especial precau-
tions to protect shipping In that vicinity.
II also has taken steps to prevent dam
age by mines which they have laid along
the routes which the submarines now
seem to have abandoned.
Meanwhile. movement Of men and sup
plies overseas Is proceeding exactly on
schedule. with every possible precaution
taken to protect these transports
Although there has been much talk or
possible sensational movements by the
U-boat. Including air raids by seaplanes
| carried or raids inside some OF the least
protected harbors. ofiicials who should
know hatly say nothing Of the sort Is
| likely to be attempted. They say that
the C-boats known to be OF this coast
could neither carry nor launch a sea-
plane. and that there is not the slightest
evidence anywhere that they have been
accompanied by q mother ship or a
raider on their spectacular trip across
4 the ocean.

GIRL U-RAID SURVIVOR
SAFEGUARDED SISTER
Consuela Garcia Was Angry.
However, Because Pretty
Dresses We're Lost

New York, June g.
If you were little girl. just at the
age when pretty dresses were about the
most important thing in the world to
you. and you were hurrying home with
two great big trunks filled with some
particularly handsome new frocks, and
then. just before the boat you were on
reached its home port. a submarine
came alongside and sank the boat with
those dresses still on board, you'd be
mad enough to go to war. wouldn't you ?
Consuela Garcia, an attractive sixteen
year-old New York girl. is, anyhow.
and, what's more, she said so.
Consuela. with her sister Elesia, who
is only eleven years old, had been to
Porto Rico to visit their grandmother.
Then they began to get just wee bit
lonesome for their mother and. right
on the spur of the moment, decided to
come home, even though they hadn't
planned to return until some time next
month.
As luck would have 1t, they took the
Carolina.
The day the boat sailed their grand
mother had gone with them to the
wharf and the last thing she said to
Consuela was to be sure and take good
care OF Elesia. And she did.
All through the day and night while
they tossed about the ocean in the lit
tie boat in which they had left the
Carolina with thirty others of the pas
sengers and crew Consuela never took
her arm from around Elesia's shoulder
And as the rescuing boat made fast to
its pier and the passengers started down
the gangplank. Consuela still remem-
bered what she had been told.
As Elesia started on a run down the
tricky swaying gangplank. Consuela
called to her:
Now Elesia, be careful or you'll fall
You know you're always stumbling"
But moment later when Consuela
herself spied her mother and her
brother, Michael. a black-haired little
lad. she forgot all about her caution and
fairly few into the outstretched arms
waiting for her. But there wasn't any
one to be found who could scold her
even a little bit. They were all too busy
telling how brave she had been.
Only Consuela wasn't giving thought
to what she had done or said She was
too much concerned with those two
trunks way out there somewhere on the
bottom OF the Atlantic Ocean.

May BE Is victims
Sinking OF the American schooner
Mengel. whose survivors landed yester-
day. and rumored sinking of four
schooners brings the probable total toll
Of the German submarine captain to
the officers Of the Mengel told of sink
ing OF six ships not yet recorded. His
statements are not given credence by
the Navy Department
Discrepancy in figures fixing the num-
Der Of persons aboard the Carolina has
left the number OF the victims In doubt
oficials Of the ship company say not
more than twenty persons we're lost
thirty-eight. At least sixteen were lost
when a boat cspsized of Lewes. Del.
Though still discussing the chance OF
landing one or more Of the raiders,
navy officials pointed out that the task
destrovers were sent abroad has ad-
mittedly weakened the American coast
patrol. There are sufficient boats TO
maintain ordinary vigil, but to dog a
U-boat on a wide search area is a large
problem. The navy is doing its utmost
with available material, and officers de-
clare 1t is possible to accomplish the
purposes desired with the material al
hand.
More Than Two Raiders
The blief that more than two U-boats
are operating began to prevail today
that the Jersey raiders were workine
| their way south and were responsible
for the sinking Of the Morse steamship
That incident was significant from the
fact that the invaders operated on q

When the commerce submersiele came
over here two years ago II lay SUD-
merged for a time In Hampton Roads,
and though Allied vessels stood guard
outside. Il ran the blockade at night
successfully. The case now is rather
different The roads are well patrolled
and there are no hampering restrictions
on the patrol such as existed when the
Deutschland came over. There is NO
danger, as navy men see II, that the
U-boats will attempt to sneak into Wash
ington or Baltimore. Such an ehort.
II is said. would be sure suicide.
There was no verifcation early today
of Cape May reports indicating the sink
ing OF a U-boat near there. Navy oni-
cials said they would be cautious of
claiming a raider had been sunk unless
the proof were conclusive.
One great danger still resting In the
situation Is that the U-boats still have
an untouched supply Of torpedoes which
they hope TO use on larger craft. espe-
cially transports 1t surprises officials
however. that torpedoing Of large ships
was not tried originally .iffst
