Many Entries Received
For Rose Show at the
Y. M. c. A. June 7 and 8

With many varieties of roses in
their full glory this week, especially
those of the climbing species, the
lobby of the Y. NJ. G. A. may be
expected to present a gorgeous ap-
pearance at the First Annual Rose
Show. of Harrisburg, on Friday and
Saturday of this week. This show,
given under the auspices of the
Woman's Advisory Board of the Y.
NJ. c. A, is for the benefit of the
war work of the Y. NJ. C. A. No
entry charges are being made but
an admission fee of twenty-five cents
will be charged.
Announcements were issued to-
day to the effect that entry cards
would be received as late as Thurs
day evening, June 6, because of the
unusual weather conditions which
make uncertain the amount of eX-
hibits. All roses, however, must be
left at the Y. M. c. A. sometime be-
tween IL a. m. and D. m. on Fri
day.
Mrs. w. P. Starkey, Front and
Kelker streets, chairman of the pub
licity committee, is still busy dis
tributing entry cards to late comers.
She reported this morning that
many cards have already been re-
ceived.
This show is for amateurs only.
AS result all exhibits of nursery
men, florists, or their employees are
barred. There will be no limit to
the number of entries that one per-
son can make, but only one award
in any one class will be given to a
single exhibitor.

U-Boat Commander
Sorry, He Said, to
Sink Steamship Texel
BY Associated Press

Atlantic City. n. j.. June 4.-The
thirty-siX survivors of the steamship
Texel, which was sunk Sunday aft
ernoon sixty miles south of New
York by two German submarines,
prepared to-day to leave here for
New York,
Arriving here yesterday in two
leaky boats and almost exhausted
from their long pull for shore, the
members of the crew told stirring
tales.
Captain r. X. Lowry, of Brooklyn,
a former Girard College boy in Phil
adelphia. told how the Texel, repre-
senting value of more than $1,000
900, was torpedoeed and sunk.
THE first warning we had" said
Captain Lowry, was when a shrap-
mel burst over the bridge at 4.20 on
Sunday afternoon. Two submarines
next drew alongside our ship. The
boarded our boat, demanded our pa
pers and ordered us to leave the
ship. The guns of his U-boat were
trained on u.s."
After the submarine commander
had taken over the Texel, Captain
Lowry reported that the captor said:
II hate like hell to do this, but we
have been ordered to get into action
or return home. We have been over
here for two months"
There was no attempt to get the
men," Captain Lowry continued. 1--WE
manned two boats and everybody was
saved. When we were leaving, one
submarine nearly crashed into us.
The captain shouted and waved us
back to safety"

Big Liner Reported
Lost Arrives Safely
in Port Seeking Shelter
BY Associ5te.l Press

Vineyard Haven, Mass, June A.
The City of Columbus, of the Saw
annah Line, which it was feared had
been sunk by a German submarine,
is safe in an Atlantic port harbor.
While the City of Columbus was
anchored some distance from shore
there was no evidence that she had
been damaged by submarines. At
the time she came into the harbor
it had not been known here that she
had been reported sunk. No boat
had come ashore half an hour after
the ships arrival.
The City of Columbus had been
at anchor for some time before her
identity was discovered. The vessel
entered the harbor shortly after the
arrival of a ship operated by the
Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton Company reached here and the
fact that no message was immedi-
ately sent ashore was taken to mean
that the vessel merely has sought
refuge and that all was we'll aboard.

Commissioner BURNETT
Wants City Trees Cared
For; Asks For Forester

Declaring that a number of city
trees are being neglected and should
receive immediate attention under
the supervision of a city forester,
Commissioner BURNETT said to-day
that he will bring the question to
the attention of other city officials
at a meeting of Council.
Mr. Burtnett mentioned the low
branches on many of the trees which
at night are dangerous to pedestrians
and also made other inquiries about
what attention is being paid to tree
development and planting.
Last year money was provided for
the employment of a city forester
and for the completion of the tree
survey started the year before. Later
in the fall, however the funds were
appropriated for other purposes and
the work remained unfinished This
year similar funds have again been
provided and Commissioner Burtnett
intimated the money should be used
for this purpose and a forester en-
ployed at once.

The schooner anchored mile off

shipwrecked cargo.
The men tarried long enough to

then they were whisked off to the
coast guard station where they were
supplied with much needed food.

AMERICAN NAVY
SECURING OCEAN
FOR HUN CRAFT
Officials Believe SubmersiblC
Has Left u. S. Waters
For Home Base
BY Associated Press

Washington, June 4.-Navy De-
partment officials believed to-day the
submarine or submarines that sank
probably more than ten American
vessels off the Atlantic Coast was on
its way back to its base and that
for the time being the danger was
over.
Secretary Daniels announced in
the morning that no additional ad-
vices of submarine activities had
reached the department.
Warships, submarine chasers and
airplanes were securing the seas to-
day in. search of the enemy. Navy
officials threw a veil of secrecy over
their movements, however, and re-
quested newspapers to make no men
ton of their whereabouts.
See Purpose of Raid
There is a growing impression
here that only one submarine took
part in the raid. The Navy Depart
ment has only one report to indi-
cate the presence of more. That is
the statement of the captain of the
schooner Cole that he saw the peri,
scope of second U-boat. Mr.. Dan.
iels said to-day that nothing to con-
firm other reports indicating that
from one to five submersibles had
been off the coast had been received
The Secretary reiterated his opinion
that the purpose of the raid was
to create a demand in the United
States for the return of naval craft
to home waters. This, he said, was
based on speculation and not on any
concrete information.
Eleven Days OF Coast
No information has reached the
department, it was said. indicating
that during the eleven days or more
the submarine now is known to have
been in American coastwise water
that it had any communication with
agents ashore. 1t is understood
however, that the naval service has
not neglected that possibility, and
that every effort to check up what
has transpired along the coast is
included in the program it is fol-
lowing out
