GERMAN U-BOATS ARE
 MOVING FURTHER SOUTH
The Total Number Of Vessels Re- ported Sunk Stand at Thirteen and Sixteen--None of the Vessels Have Been Sunk By a Torpedo.


Washington, June 5.-The German submarine raiders again have dis closed their position. An announce ment from the navy department to- night said the Norwegian steamer Eidsyold was sent to the bottom at four o'clock yesterday morning, forty miles off the Virginia Capes. The entire crew was rescued late today by a naval supply ship. The details of the navSl encounter are lacking Report of schooner being sunk was also received.
 That is the last word received by the department showing the raiders position. In thirty hours after the attack on the Eidsvold nothing has come to indicate where the Germans were, or what they were about.
 1t is evident that the raiders had been moving steadily southward off the New Jersey coast. Presumably they were back yesterday in the re- zion where they first began opertions The raiders were closer in shore when they attacked the Eidsvold than on any previous occasion, except when they launched the mines picked up off the Delaware Capes.
 The tanker Pratt, apparntly struck one of these mines, and a number off those yet unexploded have been gatn- cred up in the same vicinity by patrol craft.
 The French tanker Radioleine's un- successful attack off the Maryland coast probably was a hundred miles off the place where the Eidsvold was sunk eight hours later. Whether the raiders are still off the Virginia Capes, hopeful of intercepting more important craft than they have yet assailed. or are hurrying on south ward, no one here will attempt to guess. , -@l
 It is increasingly evident as the re- ports accumulate that the U-boats are avoiding armed craft and the viz ilance of the navy patrol has kept them far away from the principal ports. Their errand in American waters is mystifying and the only ex-l planation so far found acceptable Ia that offered by Secretary Daniels to members of congress-an attempt to terrify the United States into recall ing of it's fighting ships from Euro pean waters for home defense.
 Tonights statement announcing the destruction of the Eidsvold was brief.
 It was sunk by, an enemy submar- inc thirty miles off the Virginia Capes about p. m. on June 1, ac- cording to word received from al United States naval cargo ship. The entire crew was rescued by this naval supply ship on the afternoon of June and is proceeding to an Atlantic port.
 Why the U-boat commander picked out a neutral boat for attack Is nos apparent.
 Norwegian vessels have suffered heavily in the North Sea operations of the Germans and 1t Is evident Ger many's one version of the rules of sea warfare are those to be applied by her U-oat commanders even outside the zones fixed for ruthless opera tions.
 The rules of cruiser warfare as Ger many interprets them have apparent ly been followed closely by the raif- CTS with the possible exception Of the Eidsvold's case, which Is still to be cleared up. Otherwise ship com panies have invariably been given some chance for their lives when their vessels were destroyed The rrthlessness which drew the United States Into the war has not SO far
