An Atlantic Port. June 1.-The thir- ty-six survivors of the steamship, Texel, which was sunk Sunday after noon 50 miles south of New York by two German submarines. prepared to- day to leave here for New York
 Arriving here yesterday in two leaky boats and almost exhausted from their long pull for shore, they told stirring tales.
 Captain R. K. Lowry of Brooklyn de- scrihed how the Texel representing a. value of more than s2.0oo, 900 was tor~ pedoed and sunk. @
 ''The first warning we had" he said. was when shrapnel burst over the bridge at APO on Sunday afternoous Two submarines next drew alongside our ship. The captain, who spoke good English boarded our boat. de-- manded our papers and ordered us to leave the ship The guns of his U-boat were kept trained on us."
 After the submarine commander had taken over the Texel Captain Lowrx reported that the captor said:
 q hate like h-- to do this. but we have been ordered to get into action or return home. We have been over here for two months"

5s OF THOSE ABOARD THE
 CAROLINA ARE MISSING.
is Are Known to Have Perished in a
 Storm Sunday Night.

New York, June 1.-The toll of dead and missing from the raid of German submarines against shipping off the American coast apparently stood to- night at 5S, all from the steamship Carolina of the New York and Porto Rico line. Sixteen of this number are known to have perished when one of the ships boats capsized in storm Sunday night, after the vessel had been. sunk The fate of the others is not known, but it is hoped they have been picked up. by. a passing ship and will yet. reach. shore safely,
 Omeials4of the company have placed the number of passengers aboard the Carolina when she was attacked 125 miles of Sandy Hook at t220 and the crew at 1S0, making $50 in all.
 Captain Barbour reported to the company today. that he was on board the schooner Eva B. Douglass with 150 passengers, and 94 of the crew The schooner sisf being lowed to this port by a tug which was sent to her aid and is expected to arrive early to- morrow. .Tf N & iH-
 A boat containing 28 surviYors-21 passengers and of the crew-arrived at Atlantic City late today.
 Another lifeboat with Is passengers and one member of the. crew, arrived at Lewes, Del, with the report that 16 of the S5 who had started. from the ship had lost their lives in the storm Sunday night
 If the. companys figures as to the number aboard the ill., starred liner are correct, this leaves 42 unaccounted for That number might have been crowd : ed into one lifeboat. The only possi- ble clue to their fate was found in the fact tht an empty boat, marked with the name of the Carolina, was picked
 up at sea by a British steamship which arrived here today. It had every evidence of having been riddled by gunf1re. It may have carried the pas

The shortage was due principally to the excessively severe winter.
 The production of graphite in Penn sylvania showed a decrease in 1917. due to the fact that one Of tbe plants that was producing in 1916 was not iii operation in 191? and that two others were closed during part Of the year to permit. extensive alterations Tire labor shortage also affected some what the Pennsylvania production.

Norway's Floating Ruhber Supply

The factory for the manufacture os rubbers which is situated at Mjonda- len, Norway. is the only concern of it's kind in the country, writes Vice Con sul H. E. Carlson, Christiania Opera tions are greatly reduced compared with normal conditions. It is stat,.i that the factory is being kept in on- eration by the rubber that washes ashore along: the Norwegian coasts. This rubber is usually found by hsil- ermen, who turn it over to the State. which in turn. sells it to the factor at price of 17.50 crowns per kilo (about $2.15 per pound) The factory must, however. send in. all of it's orders to the Department of Commerce for it's approval. It is stated that the in : tention is tn enlarge the plant to such an extent that when normal condi- tions return it will be able to supply the needs of the whole country.

 INTERVENTION IN RUSSIA
One of Kerens<y's Ministers on Way
 Here to Advocate Action by Allies.

Tokio, Tuesday, May 2S-(By A. P.N intervention is necessary ir Russia in the opinion of Alexander I. konovalofG minister of commerce in the Kerensky cabinet, who has arrived here on his way to the United States M. Konovaloff. who was recently Ib- erated from a prison in Petrograd said that the object of his visit to America was to aid the reconstruction of Russia by informing Americans of exact com ditions there. The former minister de- clared that the present regime is de- structive and hopeless. He believes that allied intervention under the leadership of Japan would restore or der. create a responsible government and hasten the winning of the war by combating the Germans and Aus. trians. If interrogation is delayed anarchy in Russia is inevitable, and there is danger of the honrgeoise and the socialists turning to Germany for help.
 Intelligent Russians" M. Konovalot added, also would welcome American economic and financial aid, becausa they know 1t would be disinterested and not based on political ambitions"
