Now the alternative proposal IS
to prohibit the breeding of dogs
during the war except under license.
The effect of this would be to allow
the perpetuation of pedigree breeds
which have taken many years and
large sums of money to produce,
and also useful dogs like sheep dogs
and army dogs. The breeding of
mongrels and probably of purely
fancy dogs would be prohibited.

will bring into the service more than
100000, a larger number than was pre-
viously announced as expected for the

General Crowder says whenever
there is an empty bunk available we

The training period in this country

WASHINGTON, June 7-(Assoeiat

American shipping is the prey Of the
Hun diver raiders that are operating
of the Atlantic Coast of the United
States. These raiders were stiIl oper-
ating actively as late as Tuesday after.
noon when one of them sunk the first
neutral vessel, so far as has been
learned, since their arrival in these
waters.
The Norwegian steamer Eidsvold, a
small steamer of 800 tons engaged in
the coastwise trade was sunk by a
German submarine raider forty miles
of the coast of Virginia. The officers
and crew were permitted to take to
the boats and leave the steamer and
were later picked up and saved by a
naval vessel which reported by wire
less the incident of the sinking of
the neutral steamer.
Closer In Shore
This position, forty miles off the
coast Of Virginia, is the last reported
position of any Of the raiders and is
the closest insfore that they have at
tackled shipping. One of them at least
is travelling southwark and it is grow
ing increasingly evident that they are
seeking to avoid armed craft.
Thus far reported the total number
of diver victims, including the sink.
ing of the Eidsvold, are eight schoon-
ers and five steamera 1t seems ap-
