TWELVE VESSELS
INCLUDING LINE Rs
AND $50 PEOPLE MISSING IN THE
HUN SUB RAID.
FLOATING MINES ARE FEARED
Indications Are the Submarines
Dropped Engines of Destruction
In Lanes of Traffc-Special
Vengeance On Englishmen.

New York, June 4.-German sub.
marines raiding ships operating off
the American coast have destroyed
probably twelve vessels, including
two liners, and more than four hun
dred and fifty persons are missing,
according to the best information OBJ
tainable early today.
1t was reported that one of the
large U-boats had been captured near
Boston and had been brought into
this harbor and the crew taken to
the Brooklyn navy yards. Contirma-
ton of this is lacking.
Three big liners due at Atlantic
ports today were ate in arriving
and an anxious watch for them was
being kept.
Ready to Aid the Victims.
Meanwhile a fleet of sixty naval
planes operating over New York main
tanned close watch for the survivors
OF the German sea horrors, and q hos
pital ship was anchored in the bay,
where ready service would be handy.
That the commanders of the Huns
intended to use frightfulness on any
Britishers found off the coast was
indicated when an under officer of the
undersea pirate boarded the Winnie
cone demanding to know If there were
any Englishmen on BOARD, threaten
ing to kill them.
No Tidings From Carolina.
Officials of the New York-Porto
Rico Steamship company early today
had no information regarding the
liner Carolina, now twenty-fOur hours
overdue with two hundred and TWEEN
ty passengers and a crew of more
than one hundred.
1t is feared in some quarters that
she might have been seized by the
Germans as raider.
The German submarines latest vic
tim was the Herbert L. Pratt, struck
by a mine or torpedOed off the Della
ware coast at two-thirty p. m, yester-
day. This ship was beached.
Huns May Have Spread Mines.
The fact that the snip might have
been wrecked by a mine gave rise
to the fear here today that the Ger
man U-boats are scattering these
floating mines in the steamship lanes
close to the entrance of the import
ant American ports.
The coast is being patrOlled for the
three lifebOats full of people report
ed to have been floating off Beach
Haven last night.
They were said to have been seen
by patrol of aeroplanes but the
coast guards failed to locate them.

 The people of Luxemburg made elaborate preparations to receive the Americans. Almost every building flew the Luxemburg flag, with here and there an American banner, and every once in a while a picture of President Wilson could be seen, al most always coupled with that of Marshal Foch.
 Some 40 societies had made plans to participate in the parade of the Americans and late Wednesday night a band was heard in a last rehearsal of the music it expected to play to- day The keenest interest was mani fested by the civilians, who eagerly questioned every American as to the route and exact time of the march into the city. The citizens raked up school-book English, which they used freely on every one wearing khaki.
 General Pershing issued this proc lamation shortly after the entry of the Americans:
 After the four years of violation of your territory the grand duchy of LuXemburg has happily been lib erated. Your separation from Ger man occupation has been demanded of the invaders by the armies of the Americans and the allies as one of the conditions of the present armi- stice. It becomes necessary now for the American troops tO pass through the grand duchy of LuXemburg and 10 establish and maintain there for a certain time their lines Of communi- cation

 "One specific instance that heard of. on the best of the authority, was that of Mark Hannas using this means to make Mckinley the repub- lican nominee long before McKinley's nomination in 1896. A certain writer was employed by Hanna to write dem ocratic editorials for the democratic newspapers in the service of the American Press association. In these editorials McKinley's stand on the tar if and other questions was severely attacked. The same writer, at the same time was employed to write re- publican editorials for the republican newspapers in the service of the American Press association warmly defending McKinley's views and per sonality."

Other records showed that the association of commerce and labor was actively engaged in combating prohibition and that it received S300,- 900 from the brewers association and S10O,0O0 from the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers association.
 The suggestion regarding the ef- forts to induce Judge Pritchard to so- licit funds from the brewers, was made, according to the record, by Fox to E J.

TANK SOLDIER THINKS
 OF HIS MOTHER FIRST

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN THE FIELD, Oct. 15 Correspond ence of the Associated Press) When an American soldier goes lover the top or when he receives. a bullet or shrapnel wound he thinks of his mother. The French poilu thinks oI his wife, and the British Tommy of his sweetheart
 This fact is borne out by the off cers and doctors who have served in all three of the allied armies. They declare that when the American sol dier is wounded the first word on his lips in almost every case is mother !" Even after he is removed to the hos pital he calls constantly for his moth CT His British cousin. however. seems chiefly absorbed in his sweet heart, and longs to see her just once again" while the French compatriot thinks only of his femme bien aimee
 The correspondent of the Associ. ated Press at the American front ask ed a number of soldiers what thought was most on their minds when they first left their trenches to attack the German. In nine cases out of ten the answer was, "Of home and mother"
 There were a few, however, who said that as they entered the battle their minds were given over wholly to prayer. although they had never be- fore been in the habit of praying. Some of them kept before them words of encourage ment and counsel cen tained in letters from relatives.
 One soldier on the morning of the attack. received a letter from his mother quoting the Scriptural phrase, Trust in the Lord and no enemy shall prosper against. thee" The sol dier went through one of the blood fest battles of the war that day and came out unscathed

 BEING STARTED
Fighting Force Kept Intact but Men Behind Lines Start for Ports; Construc- ton at Standstill

HEADQUARTERS OF THE AMER ICAN FIRST ARMY, Nov. 22, 3 p. m. -(By the Associated Press. s.)-While as an effective military force the American army remains intact, the homeward movement has already be- gun. Construction of all kinds has been stopped. and contracts and de- liVeries cancelled where possible and the men whose services have been in these and other lines of activity are either en route to ports or plans for their authorization are under way.
 The 3irst to go will be the sick and convalescent wounded These will be sent home with the greatest possible expedition. Certain divisions. ex- hausted by replacement drafts until only the skeletons remain, are also going home.
 One of the biggest of the present problems is the land transport to the seaports. With the coming of winter the French need almost the entire ca pacity of their railroads to distribute fuel, food and other supplies through cut the country This will delay the transportation of Americans
 The army authorities are graphing with hundreds of minor problems. both legal and physical, inherent on pos sible demobilization. While it is real ized that the decision on most of these problems rest with Washington there is nevertheless much specula- tion in the army regarding the precise plan of rehabilitation whether, fol- lowing the British plan, some form of demobilization by trades will be adopted, whether the existing organi- zations will return intact or whether the army will be reformed and dls- cl arsed on a regional basis

 We want a national assembly and voice in the work of solving the problems of the German people We believe the present government is willing that We shall have such par ticipation and that it opposes any measures calculated to disturb the economic system.
