Slips Out Sixty Miles Further
to Sea and Bags British
Steamer
mo WARNING GIVEN
BEFORE FIRING TORPEDO
Port Of Philadelphia Re-
opened After Clearing Of
Mine Field at Entrance !
By Carl D. eroat,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, June 7.-The navy has
lost contact with at least one coastal
German U-boat raider.
This fact, apparent from the un-
hampered sinking of the British
steamer Harpathian, 100 miles off the
Virginia capes Wednesday was con-
firmed by navy officials today. The
Harpathian was torpedoed Wednesday
morning and her crew with one wound
ed, was brought into Hampton Roads
last night by the steamer Palmer.
The submersible operating off the
capes moved out to sea about sixty
miles since last heard from, when it
sank the Norwegian steamer Eidsvoid.
Navy men frankly admitted that this
movement had not been traced, but
they were still hopeful that contact
would be established with this U-boat
whose plan appears to be the hunting
of bigger game than unarmed coastal
steamers with no military value.
This appeared the case from the fact
that torpedo was used on the Har-
pathian. Heretofore with one creep
tion the boche has spared his torpedoes.

garine and lard. The whale catch off
the coast OF Norway has been Pro
hibited by law for some years, but
Is now to be commended on gov
ernment account.
Denmark has been using whale rat
IN the margarine industry for some
years, and no injurious effects on the
users have been reported.
Used For Fertilizer.
On the Pacific coast millions OF
pounds of whale meat are used each
year for fertilizer. The whalebone
and sperm oil from the blubber is
used commercially.
Rorquals are most often sought by
whale fishers. 4 single whale is
worth q fortune for his whaleboDe
and sperm oil alone. II the use Of
whale meat becomes popular and
solves the food problem in America
as it has in japan, the value VIII
be many fold greater.
A rorqual weighing 350,0OO pounds
would yield about 125.OOO pounds OF
salable meat for food. At IL cents
the pound the meat alone would be
worth $4,000.
Figure IL out-a whale OF this size,
used for food would release a herd
OF 500 cattle that would each yield
$50 pounds OF beef for the American
army in France.
Why Not Dog Meatf

not?

The Department OF Agriculture,
following the recent experiment show
ing the advisability OF using them
as food, may give the sparrow anoth-
er chance to prove his worth. At this
time when substitutes for various
staple foodstuffs are being sought, the
sparrow industry which has developed
without outside aid, offers opportuni-
ties not found in the use Of native
birds.

The little English sparrow, an
nemy alien, who has been at large In

TO do his bit to win the war and es-

the American eating public.
Home economics experts recently

The pie was pronounced delicious

The first sparrows were brought
to this country in 1880. Four pairs
were brought to Brooklyn Institute
