CRUISER
STORIES CHIMERICAL

London, June 4.-Stories of Ger
many's submarine cruisers may be
dismissed, says Archibald S. Hurd.
widely known writer on naval sub
Jects in an article appearing in the
Daily Telegraph.
"They are merely large submarines
such as we have been building" he
says. They do not represent tri-
umph of German engineering any
more conspicuous than triumph our
shipbuilders have achieved. 1t was
because German submarines of about
800 tons could remain at sea only a
short time were very uncomfortable
and the conditions were very telling
on the nerves of the crew that the en-
emy evolved large type modelled on
the Deutschland. This type, having
been designed, it was decided to in
dulge in exaggeration in order to inn
press the world.
E"What is the truth about the Ger
man submarines he continues.
"These Cruisers displace not 5000
tons, but about 1000. They are not
450 feet long, but less than 800 feet
Their speed on the surface is not %
knots but about IL knots. When
submerged they do not travel at the
rate'o of Is knots en- hour, but approx
'imately 10 knots or so.
1T happens that we have heard
more about the operations cf German
submarines than about tie British
simply because the ener1v Cffecs few
targets for our submarines, while we
offer the enemy thousands of targets
every week. The percentage of hits
by our submarines is, in fact, about
three times that of the Germans,
which in itself indicates the high
standard of efficiency of British ship
design, construction and operation.
"The work which British subma-
rnes are doing is magnificent. Our
officers are handicapped by many
things besides the small number of
targets afforded them. The Germans
are able to maintain their CAMPAIGN
only by defying every law of every ma
ton and ignoring the ordinary die
tates of humanity. There is nothing
easier than murder"

selves the provost marshal general
has not yet. fixed, but the general ex-
pectation is that some sort of a lot
terry of the type previously used, will
be conducted on a national scale. Yet
of this officials are not certain, be-
cause the recurring draft calls come
more swiftly, and run to larger to-
tails now, and the classification has
come to be more important than the
numbers. A late order number will
serve only to postpone for a few days
the inevitable call to the training
camps.
National purpose to see that no in.

in the regulations, wherein are voiced
the command of the government to
peace officers of all descriptions, Unit
ed States marshals, Secret Service
men, and city police, that they shall
assist exemption boards in scanning
lists and combing out attempted
evaders of the registration.
Figures available show that no
other country participating in the
great war has the actual resources
in men that the United States has.

ONE MILLION
YOUTHS REGISTERED

Washington, June 5.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press)-
Today, on the anniversary of Ameri-
cas- first manpower mobilization, an
other million youths, the estimated
strength of the class of 1918, regis
ter on the first station of the journey
to the colors.
When their draft registration cards
come into their hands, they come to
the disposition of a swift, smoothly
working and practiced organization,
whose agencies in every countryside,
hamlet, and city of the land have as
sumed successfully the task of dis
eliminating between the nations need
for men who can fight or work, and
it's additional need for men to sup
port it's dependent population.
Observers, foreign and domestic,
military and civilian alike, class the
performance to date under the Ameri-
can selective service Jaw as the most
tanglibly successful of its military eff
forts, and regard the accretion to the
manpower reservoir of the young
sters who had not reached their ma
jority one year ago as the most GER
tain assurance of the final downfall of
the Prussian autocracy. Be it near or
far, the day of Allied victory cannot
be evaded, the practical military
view is, so long as the rising flood of
the American armies, drilled, equip
ped and equipping, can be turned to
the European battlefront
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
who supervises the draft, fixes the
tentative number given above for the
days new total, and likewise from
the experience tables of the year
places the number of potential sol
der to be added to the list today at
100000, concluding that the class will
be rs per cent composed of military
effectiveness.
AS they assemble at the register
ing stations today, the total of men
raised by the draft in the United
States for its armies will pass 1,3OO,-
600. Before the end of the present
month, the modified total will have
passed 100000, for the immense
military machine that owes it's exist
ence to the readiness of plain Ameri-
cans to fight is moving forward to a
goal that will meet President Will

board for their cards. Names as re-

classifcations of registered men and,
in accordance with their physical
qualifications, their status as to de-
pendents and as to industrial or ag-
ricultural occupations, they will be
assigned to Class One, Two, Three,
Four or Five. The overwhelming
majority, however, as indicated by the
estimate given, the provost marshal

GERMAN NAVAL AUTHROITY
SAYS AMERICAS ENTERING
THE WAR WON'T HELP ALLIES

New York, June 4.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press)-Amer-
lean participation in the war, and in
the fight against German submarines
and in the ship-building program
were belittled by Vice Admiral Won
Capelle, German minister of the navy
in his speech in the Reichstag few
weeks ago, as reported by German
newspapers received here.
"The military help of America in
the first year of the war was very
little regarding troops and airplanes,"
declared Won Capelle. "The expecta-
disappointed. If America later wants
to maintain half a million troops in
France it will need permanently a
freight space Tin steampships) of
about 100000 tons which again
would be deprecated from the serv-
ice of supplying her allies.
According to American and Brit
ish statements, the participation of
such large army is no longer in
volved in this campaign.
"In order to carry out the gigantic
American program of shipping con-
struction, the ship-yards must first be
built. In 1917 America, following all
her huge promises, built 100000 gross
tons of sea-going ships. The large
merchant fleet which America has or
dered is not being built for the war
but in order to take the place Of Eng
land as the worlds shipper after the
war when the ships will have been
completed"
Discussing the economic situation
created by Americas entrance into
the war Won Capelle pointed out that
the United States was the nose i'm
portant source of supplies for the En-
tente nations but he added-"Owing
to the tremendous armament program
of President Wilson, such economic
difficulties have developed that Amer

gin to ration herself instead, as had
been hoped, to aid the Entente nations
III increasing measures. All III All,
it can be said that the economic diff
ficulties of our enemies have been in
creased by Americas entrance into
the war.
In reply to charges that the Ger
man submarine building program
was not progressing as rapidly as
it should Won Capelle admitted that
Germany's enemies had attained GER
tain successes in their defensive
measures against the U-boats. But,
he added, "they have at no time af-
fected the U-boat warfare in any way
decisively and, according to foresight
will not be able to do so in the f.
ture."
"The American U-boat chasers
over which much fuss has been made,
are failure.
"The convoy system which gives
the ships a certain protection on the
other hand has great disadvantages.
There is not a day in which one or
several ships are not shot out of con-
voys."
