Police Must Give Half of $50
Bonus to Relief Fund

Members of the police force who
have been making pin money by round
ing up army and navy slackers at $50
a head, less ten per cent which went
to the Police Relief Fund, were notified
yesterday by Commissioner Enright
that hereafter an additional forty per
cent Of their rewards must be turned
INTO the fund. That means that where
the patrolmen got $40 for each Stacker,
he will get but S25 hereafter.
In support of the order it was pointed
out that many of the men had become
overzealous in their search for evaders
Of the draft and deserters, and too
much time was being given by them to
that work. The Government has paid
100000 already to New York police
men for their work and some patromen
have received as high as $1,000 since
the awards were offered. The fund to
which the higher commission will 20

been made Marshal of France. while

gratitude that the country bestows the

out that the honors given the great

Helpless Beacon Craft

coast" confirms the belief of naval
officials that German sea wolves sent
IN this side of the Atlantic are under
orders to handicap commerce in all
wavs possible without exposing them
selves 20 naval or other formidable op-
ponents.
News Of the shelling and sinking of
the lightship came to the Navy De-
partment to-day. The crew of twelve
men on the light vessel escaped in the
small boat and rowed the ten or twelve
miles to shore.
Subsequently the submarine ap-
peared within half mile of the land,
which projects far out from the main
coast of North Carolina. There were
no reports of attacks on villages, coast
ruard stations or lighthouses, and the
purpose Of the submarine commander
in showing himself SO near the beach
was not clear.
Secretary Daniels said to-day that
undoubtedly the purpose OF the sub
marine commander in destroying the
lghtship was to hinder commerce as
much as possible. The German prob
ably believed that with the lightship
gone some vessels might be wrecked
on the shoals.
Steps have been taken to replace the
lightship by another which always is
held in reserve for this station.
Officials recalled to-day that since
the hrst raider appeared OFF the Viz
glnia Capes last May no warships or
other formidable antagonists have
been attacked. The raiders now oper-
atlng-the one off the Virginia.
Carolina coast and the other in Cana
