Of 1918 OF i.SOO,0OO deadwelght tons

The monthly rate Of slnklngs for the

The British were the heaviest losers.
Sixty per cent. $4,000 tons each month,
represent British vessels Of all types.
The others were neutral vessels.
There is little doubt that the rate Of
slnklngs for April and May is lower
than those for the FIRST quarter.
In the meantime the American ship
construction rate has jumped to approx

May. equalling the sustained British

NEW YORK. June AFTER having
been captured by a German submarine,
detained aboard her from May 25 TO
June ?. while she attacked shipping on
the American coast and finally turned
loose in small boats with bread and
water for sustenance. % American sea-
men are safe in New York today.
These men comprise the crews OF
the schOoners OF the Edna, Hattie Dunn
and Hauppaugc. The story was told
by Captain HolbrOok - the Hattie
Dunn and Captain Gilmore OF the Edna
Their vessels were destroyed May %
near this coast by a big U-bost, the
commander Of which was invariably In
suaye and studiously polite 20 the
Americans. In each instance the sub
marine sneaked up 10 the schooner, dis
played the stop Immediately" signal,
then placed bombs aboard and took the
Americans into the submersible.
Captain Holbrook, the first captured.
was detained below decks until the Edna
had been destroyed. Later they were
allowed to go on deck and smoke. The
commander who spoke perfect English
and wore the German naval uniform,
appeared highly pleased with himself
at all times.
Occasionally the U-boat spent long
periods at the bottom OF the sea. On

CAPE MAY, June 3.-Drastic action

Navy CensOrs Message.
Lewes last night and today was
given a touch Of martial law. Residents
OF the town are on edge over the sub

officers at the Naval Base established
a censorship over the telegrah and a
partial censorship over the telephone.
Orders were given by the naval OIL
GERS last night TO the telegraph opera
tore here that no messages pertaining
In the remOtest way TO ship movements
should be sent out from Lewes with
out first being read TO the censor. For
awhile telephone calls also were list
ened In by naval officers.
This was done, it is believed, not So
much to prevent newspaper reports be-
ing sent out as to forestall any effort
that might be made by German spies to
report ship movements which the Navy
Department desired TO keep secret in
hunting down the German submarine
pirates.
While the telegraph censorship was
still in effect this morning, telephone
communication apparently was unre-
stricted
All the sailors at the Naval Base are
confined to the reservation and are not
permitted to visit Lewes during the
submarine scare.

and in her wake was the long heavy
smoke trail which clings close TO the
water much different from the usual
smoke left by steamers. IL was this
smoke screen, several miles in length
which first aroused the crowds that
lined the boardwalk TO a realization
that rumors Of the presence Of Ger
man submarines were being given seri-
Gus consideration by naval authorities.
Awed crowds lined the boardwalk
rail and the remark was frequently
made that the smoke screen which
spread gradually into a long belt along
the horizon really was meant TO hide
Cape May from U-boat guns so that
the port would not be attacked durins
the night.
IL was not considered impossible that
U-boats were in the vicinity Of the re-
sort, as all who were In bathing late
sunday afternoon. say they saw peri
scope bob up between one-half and
three-qusrters Of a mile beyond the
breakers.
II appears that for a time every pre-
caution against actual attack from the
sea was taken. the naval reserves be-
ing ordered to drag their three-iinch
guns down TO the beach. where the
men lay in torrents Of rain, amid heavy
gusts Of wind until late this morning.
This gave color to the Idea that the
