Loss of Freighter Brings
Total of Know List of
: Victims of Raiders to Ia

The loss Of the Pinar Del Rio brings
the total known list of vessels sunk
by German raiders to eighteen-eight
steamers and ten ships Of other types.
All sinkings reported to the Navy
Department since the submarines left
the New Jersey coast district last
Sunday have occurred on the coasts
of Maryland and Virginia, with sew
eral of them due east of Cape Henry.
This indicates that the U-boats are
operating over a limited area, prob
ably. Of not more than few hundred
square miles. but in an important
shipping lane.
Since 1t became known that the sub
marines were in this area naval and
air forces have concentrated their ef-
forts there. The task of bagging the
sea wolves even in SO limited an area
IN not an easy one. as the vessels
can submerge and lie on the bottom
until danger is past.
Suggestion as to U-Boat Refuge.
The suggestion has been made that
the craft may have been finding
refuge at night in the many coves
and inlets along the eastern Virginia
shore line and there recharged bat
teries and given the crew breathing

zEEBRUGGE PLIGHT SERIOUS.
Hun U-Boat Base Filling Up With
Silt, After British Attack.

LONDON. June 9.-The plight of
the Germans at the Belgian sub
marine base of Zeebrugge. in conse-
quence Of the measures taken by the
British navy to blockade the port. is
even more serious than has been be-
lieved heretofore. Photographs just
taken from airplanes show that the
entrance to the harbor is rapidly
sitting up. and that, accordingly, the
British effort to close the channel is
being reinforced by nature.
The sunken vessel inside the break
water, which was at first believed to
be an enemy destroyer. now appears
to be a large dredger. The loss OF
this ship evidently has crippled the
Germans In their efforts to clear the
channel.

kato Says Only Real Danger
for Japan Would Call for
Russ Intervention. 70

LONDON, June 10-Viscount Takaaki
Kato. former Japanese foreign minister.
speaking as the leader OF the opposi-
tion. in an interview with the Toxic
correspondent Of the Daily Mali. said
he personally was not in favor of in
.tervention in Russia. although, IL ac-
tual danger threatened Japan would
intervene. whether the allies agreed
or mot. but until that time arrived
Japan could not rightly move. II
Japan sent troops to Siberia they
might never come in contact with the
Gefmans. and the result would be an
enormous waste Of money and effort.
while it would do the allies no good.
The viscount recalled that he was
foreign minister. at the outbreak OF
the war, and the reason for Japan
joining In 1t was the alliance with
Great Britain. Japan. he said, had no
cause to quarrel with Germany. He
added:
"If the Germans come to eastern
Siberia or Manchuria the Japanese
public would Immediately demand
counter measures. Whatever meas
ures Japan takes must have the sup
port of the public, and the support
posal not connected with the defense
Of Japan's vital interests"
Japan Has Done Her Part.
In combating the view that Japan
ought to do more in the war, .Viscount
Kato contended that she already had
done her part nobly. That she had not
done more was due to distance, the lack
Of an impelling motive and limited
finances.
eJapan's policy" he added. should be
a continued alliance with Great Britain
and to cultivate the friendship Of the
United States as far as possible. II
these things happen, the isolation Of
Japan. which consider idle talk. Is not
possible. In any case a German-Japan-
ese alliance Is unthinkable."
viscount Kato declared he had COM
plete confidence in the final victory Of
the allies, but believed the end OF the
war was not in sight.
Intervention in Russia.
Although signs do not seem to point
to Intervention in Siberia developments
in the Harbin zone may possibly force
Japan to act, says the Toxic corre-
spondent Of the Daily Mail, under date
Of June l. Bolshevism is sweeping
eastward and threatens to pass Harbin
and extend in the direction Of Vladivos-
tok. The defeat Of Gen! Semenof, the
nti-bolshevik leader. opens the way for
Japanese military leaders. 1t is added,
cannot afford to ignore 1t. The corre-
spondent concludes:
my belief, founded on good informa-
ton. is that the far east may witness
a dramatic denouement."

Under Selective Service System.

Discontinuance Of the practice OF
various local draft boards throughout
the country of giving their regis
trants permits to enlist in various
branches of the military service has
been asked of boards by Provost
Marshal General Crowder.
Attention Is directed by the head of

Induction is accomplished by local
boards. Men subject to the provisions
Of the selective service act may not,
except in a few instances. be enlisted
enter the service only by induction by
their local boards in accordance with
the provisions Of the selective service
regulations.
"on the other hand. men outside OF
draft age under no circumstances
may be 1nducted. into service by local
boards. Such persons are outside the
Jurisdiction Of the selective service
regulations. and may enter the mill
tary service only by enlistment by the
proper military AuIQOTlGl0S.
How Registrants May Enlist.

tive service regulations registrants
who conform to certain requirements
serve Corps, the Engineers Enlisted
Reserve Corps, the aviation section, Sig
nal Enlisted Reserve Corps and the en-
listed reserve corps Of the quartermas-
ter's department.
Unless a registrant can qualify for
enlistment in one of the enlisted re-
serve corps mentioned, he can enter
the military service only by induc-
tion by his local board. it is pointed
out.
Local boards can induct non-delin-
Quent registrants only In accordance
lied by the governor or adjutant gen.
eral OF the state, or in accordance
with competent individual induction
orders" signed by the chief Of a
corps or department Of the Army.
Who May Issue Orders.
Persons authorized to issue such
competent orders of Individual induc-
tion are the adjutant general Of the
surgeon general of the Army. the
chief Of the coast artillery. the
chief Of ordnance, the quartermaster
general. the chief Of engineers, the
director of gas service, the director
Of the Tanks Corps, the chief Of the
military intelligence bureau and the
committee on education and special
training.
The attention Of local boards is d.
rected to the fact that the voluntary
induction of registrants into military
service before their order numbers
have been received by local boards
was stopped by Gen. Crowder last
January and remain stopped.
Existing conditions do not permit
the withdrawal Of this prohibition"
says Gen. Crowder to the local
boards.
Nothing In the above regulations.
he says, should be construed as af-
fecting the rights of registrants to

Many Rumors About Other
Arrests In General
Alien Roundup.

A veil Of secrecy still shrouds the
alleged German spy arrested last
week by Department of Justice
agents and held at the frst precinct
police station. officials Of the depart
mont, however. admit that govern
ment papers. containing valuable in
formation to the enemy. were found
in his room. and when arrested he
was preparing to leave Washington
for a city in Georgia.
Conflicting stories have been c.rcu-
lated about the name Of this man, but
neither the federal authorities nor the
police would make It public It 10
known that a salesman employed at
a largo department store has been ar
rested by the federal authorities In
connection with the case. and is said
to have given his name as Won Help
stein. Omcials would neither deny
nor confirm this.
Others Charged by Mistake.
Through an error Alfred Gardner.
being held at the first police precinct
by the Department Of Justice, was
charged with being the alleged enemy
alien.
The police say that Gardner admits
Austrian birth. but was arrested for
planning to obstruct operation of the
draft and not in connection with the
spy case. The two other men, Robert
strosnidsr and Herman Lewis Bauer.
also arc being held at the first police
precinct station for investigation on .
charge OF trying to obstruct the draft
Unconhrmed reports stated that in
addition to Won. Helpstein. an Army
officer Of high rank. was arrested last
Thursday by federal authorities and
charged with being spy. 1t was
stated that the Army officer was leav-
ing one OF the government depart
ments when he was stopped by a
guard and a package he was carrying
examined, in which. were found a
ment information. Department of Jus
ttce ofncials would neither deny nor
confirm this.
That the true facts in the cases of
the alleged spies will not be brought
by District Attorney Laskey was In
timated today by federal authorities.
General Spy Roundup On.
What is believed to be a roundup
Of alleged spies and enemy aliens has
been put into operation by federal
agents, and arrest of more important
spies is expected. supt. Zinkhan of
the District Jail stated today that he
had several alleged enemy aliens" in
prison there awaiting action by the
Department Of Justice. He could not
divulge their Names, however.
1t Is understood that the reason
back of the departments refusal to
make public the. names of alleged
spies arrested is the fear Of giving
warning to other German agents be-
lieved to be working with the men
under arrest. .,...s
