This was the case between Corcy

Germans have assaulted several times

New York, June 1.-Two more YES
selsselS, a Norwegian steamship and
a schooner, were added today to the
list OF ships known t. have been
sunk by the German submarines
which are raidinc in American wat
ers. The total now stands at IS
five steamers and eigh. schooners.
The fact which stood out most
prominently in the days develop
ments is that the J-Puats are still
operating near the coast and have
been identified are the only ones on
this side Of the Atlantic.
This was demonstrate d when the
Norwegian steamer !I,dsvold was
sunk off the Virginia cdpcs late yes
terday. The location Cf the attack
shows that the submarines are NOV
ing steadily southwark, if they are the
came ones which attacked shipping
almost at the gateway to New York
hroarb. The navy department re
ported yesterday an encounter be-
tween a destroyer and a submarine
Of the coast Of Maryland.
Another fact which il regarded as
significant in marine circles here is
that none of the vessels reported
sunk thus far was se1t to tile bot
tom BY torpedo. 1t is considered
certain that the undcrsea craft carry
torpedoes and that the are conserv-
ing them in the hope i'Iat they may
get an opportunity sooner or later
to attack a transport loaded with
American troops. The unarmed mer-
chant ships which have been at
tackled thus far have b cen sent to the
bottom by the use of bombs and shell
fire.
fossibilit'' that vessels still unreport-
ed may have been sunk was seen in a
statement of the master of the schooner
Samuel c. Mengel, who arrived here to-
day with his rescued crew. He declar-
ed he was told by the commander of
the submarine which destroyed his ship
that the L boat had SUM three steam
crs. one a passenger liner, and three
schooners, last Saturday. No vessels
have been reported sunk that day and
it is believed that the L boat captain
was lying or that Capt. Hansen misun-
derstood him.
SO far as known the only loss of life
was aboard the New York & Porto
Rico l.lcr Carolina and that was def
nitely established tonight at only l6 by

It should be remembered that this
issue was brought into the campaign
by Mr. Howard and his press agents.
Both President Wilson and Mr. Harris
observed the proprieties. indeed the
nicities of the occasion. 1t was Mr..
Howard who brought up the question,
who tried to put over something
and who got caught.
But the issue having been raised
and the Presidents attitude having

to be but one course for loyal Geor.

sustain the administration and carry

There is no getting away from the

it will be necessary for another four
years to pass before now before it

in the interim threefourths of the
Methodist annual conferences must
ratify the vote of the quadriennial
conference this week in overriding
the bishops.
1t is needless to predict that the
conferences will ratify and return
law of the church. The opportunity
will he taken at the first moment
The bishops who saw this strikingly
popular idea take the conference as
it did more than one time. ought sure

sideration The overriding vote was
SO large that it was nothing less than

But we are not so much concerned
with this now, The fact that q voting
right has been extended to the women
members of these two church demon.
nations throughout this section hut
indicates that there is an uudercur.

munities, did not fully realize it. How
ever true that may have been at one
time, the distribution of the land
proves that the people now are awake
to the truth Some of the agricultural
states Of the West we're the first to
take their allotments. This southern
district referred to is a rural section,
yet, on the 9Th day of April. the day
of the opening of the campaign, more
communities oversubscribed their
quotas than any other part of the
country.
This is proof that the people are
waking up. 1t is proof also that the
farmer, when his country calls, will
break all his traditions and invest in
bonds. They have done it from one
Ohu VI thO W bhC IL 10
proof also that some banks and loan
committees are now handling the bond
question in the most intelligent way
to sell the bonds to individuals rather
than to banks" Leave the banks free
to finance the productive industry of
the country, and call upon the people
to finance their war and become the
owners of the public debt. When loan
committees throughout the country
work for this purpose oversubscrip-
tions should be the rule. A good pre-
cedent has been set by the Atlanta
committee which will be worth hemem
bering when the next loan is announc-
ed
