 WASHINGTON, June 5.-The story of the ca-tan of the French submarine off the Maryland coast yesterday reached the navy de- partment tonight showing that the raider had fired 15 shots at the Frenchman from long range before an American destroyer answering a s. o. s. appeared.
 Oodees Destroyer
 The destroyer passed full speed ahead toward the enemy, which promptly submerged.
 Following is the navy depart n1ent's summary of the French mans story:
 "The submarine was so big that at first the lookout thought it was an American destroyer. He was about six miles from the Radio leine. The submarine when sighted lay about two lengths from a three masted sailing ship (probably the schooner Edward R. Baird Jr., which later was bombed and sunk and the lookout reported it to the captain as a destroyer. But the captain with his glasses rec ognized it as submarine. The captain was in doubt as to the na tionaIity so did not fire, but manned his guns. He chanoed his course from east to west and the submarine opened fire until the submarine fired the second time. Then he fired, range about 12,000 meters.
 FIRES SOME 20 SHOTS
 "The submarine fired between 15 and 20 shots. The Frenchman heard two shots about 15 minutes before he sighted the submarine. He believes that these were fired to stop the sailing ship.
 "The RadioIeine was making good speed while qettin~ away. No shots hit her. No damage was done and there were no casualties.
 "The destroyer passed the Ra doleine at 8:10 making all speed heading in the direction of the submarine. Apparently the de- stroyer did not see the submarine until the Radioleine changed course to starboard, as the captain of the Radioleine purposeIy kept between the submarine and the destroyer so the submarine would not see the destroyer.
 'As soon as the submarine saw the destroyer he submerged. The captain did not see the submarine again and is unable to tell what the destroyer did because the RadioIene was too far away when the destroyer reached the spot where the submarine disappeared v

YOUNG MEN NUMBER
 337, REGISTER FUR
 NEW DRAFT QUOTAS

There were 331 men registered at local Headquarters yesterday, the day arranged by the government for the registration of all men who have be- come of age since year ago. In ad- d1tion to these there were registered about 75 men at other places in the county, although no definite figures will be ready until this morning. The other registration places were situated at Wickenburg, Gila Bend. Buckeye and Chandler. It is closely estimated that the total for the county will be between 40 and 415 men.
 A remarkable feature of the regis tration was that fully S5 per cent of the 400 odd men registered are Amer ican citizens and. judging from ap- pearanccs, soldiers. Secretary M. T. Weyant said the boys were the best lot taken all through that had yet ap- peared at the office. They are. the most of them he said, 'soldiers right now, judging from their appearance Of course examinations will prove their exact status for service"
 The registration places were open from o'clock yesterday morning un- til 9 o'clock last night, the most of the men registering before 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
 Aliens and All Register
 All young men, whether citizens or not, becoming of age the past F months, were required to register. There will not be more than b per cent of the total registration that will be foreigners or partial service men through some physical defect, ac- cording to estimates made by. Mir. Weyant
 Help at Headquarters
 Those who assisted at headquarters in registering the men were Ralph W. Johnson. l. F. Hall. Dr. Allen H. Will Hams, Q. M Soule Claude W. Randall. Miss Vera M Will1y, Mrs. Margaret c. BaInum. W. J. Wooden and |. Spring.

Arizona is Only State ill the Union Not Required to
 Send Men Between June 24-2S as Class 1 Is Gone
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, June 5.-While a million young Americans just turned T were registered today for service in the war for world freedom, orders went out from the office of Provost Marshal General Crowder to the governors of all states except Arizona for the mo- bilization between June 24 and 2S of 100000 more registrants. This was in addition to 10000 negro men requisi- toned today from 20 states and brings the total number of selective service men called to the colors to 1.595,704, and when they are in camp the na- tion's army will number well over g. 100000 men.
 Perfect Order Prevails
 The registration today apparently was attended by the perfect order that warked the enrolling a year ago of 10,- 000,O00 men.
 The men who registered today have become of age since the first regis tration day June ,, 1917. Military au- thorities estimate that from their number there will be held 750,000 men fit for active duty
 Why Arizona Left Out
 While an act of congress require. { that the new registrants be placed at | the bottom of the class to which they are assigned, many of them may soon be cNled to the colorS as today's re- quisition upon governors probably will exhaust the first class in some states. ! While no formal explanation Wa. made, this was believed to have been the req son why Arizona was not included | in today's call
 Register Every Three Months
 Registration days for men becoming 21 years of age probably will be fixed every three months hereafter 1t Is estimated that 1000. 900 men become of l age yearly and the new registrants are expected to go far toward keeping up ] the first class in each state for which | thus far all men for the national army have been drawn.
 Troops Move Rapidly Assignments for the men. called to i the colors under today's order indicate the rapidity with which troops now arc moving overseas. In nearly every in stance the registrants under today's requisition are assigned to national cantonments. whereas recently wher calls were made, it was necessary tc send the men to national guard, regular army and other camps. because the cantonments were filled.
 Illinois Hit Hard
 Illinois is directed to furnish 2S,50l men under the latest call, more thar double the number called from New York, which is second on the list Pennsylvania is to furnish 12,000 anC Minnesota 10000.
 The quotas and camp assignment, for western states include:
 California 5000 to Camp Kearny. Cal
 Colorado 1.50O to Camp Cody, \. N
 Kansas 1000, to Camp Funston, Kas 1000 to Camp Cody, N. M.
 New Mexico, 800 to Camp Cody N. M.
 Texas, 5000 to Camp Travis, Texas
 Make Bill Retroactive
 The house military committee today reported a resolution by Chairman Dent making retroactive the bill bas ing the draft quotas on the number o men in class one so as 10 legalize an, exceeding of authority as to the mum Der or quota which may have beel made in the first drafting of men.

Work Close to Shore

WASHINGTON. June 5.-The Ger man submarine raiders again have dNclosed their positions. An announce ment from the navy department to- night said the Norwegian steamer Eidsvold was sent to the bottom at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. 40 miles off the Virginia capes. The entire crew was rescued today by a naval supply ship. Details of the encounter are lacking.
 In 30 hours after the attack on the Eidsvold, nothing has come to indicate where the Germans were or what they were about
 Gather Unexploded Mines
 The raiders were closer inshore 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 ap- parently struck one of these mines and q number of others, uneXploded, have been gathered up in the same vicinity by patrol craft
 The French tanker Radioleine. un- | successfully attacked at 9:3O o'clock yesterday morning off the Maryland Coast. probably was a hundred miles north of the place where the Eidsvold was sunk eight hours earlier. Avoiding Armed Craft i It is increasingly evident as the re- ports accumulate that the U-boats are avoiding armed craft, and the vigilance of the navy patrol has kept them far l away from the principal ports. Their | errand in American waters is mysti- l flying, and the only explanation so far 1 found acceptable is that offered by Secretary Daniels-an attempt to terri l fy the United States into recall of its fighting ships from European waters | for home defense.
 1 Tonight's statement announcing the destruction of the Eidsvold was brief 1 It said:
 The Official Statement | The Norwegian steamship Eidsvold was sunk by an enemy submarine 40 miles of the Virginia capes about ] D. m. on June I, according to word re- ceived from a United States naval cargo ship. The entire crew was res cued by this naval ship on the after i noon of June and is proceeding to an Atlantic port
 Why the U-boat commander picked out a neutral craft for attack is not apparent The errand and cargo of the Eidsvold are not now known, however. and it is evident that Germanys own version of the rules of sea warfare are those to be applied by her U-boat com manders even outside the zones fixed for ruthless operations.
 Some Chance for Lives The rules of cruiser warfare as Ger many interprets them apparently have been followed closely by the raiders, with the possible exception of the Eidsvold's case, which is still to be cleared up. Otherwise, ships compa- nies have invariably been given some chance for their lives when their yes sels were destroyed. The ruthlessness which drew the United States into the war has not so far been applied to American coastal waters What bear ing, if any, this may have on the pur- pose of the raid was not clear. One Boat Standard Size
 Reports of survivors of the steamer Texel and the schooner Mengel today added little to the stock of informa- tion that had been gathered about the raiders. The first officer of the TexeI reported seeing a second submarine lying awash nearby when his ship was

MANUF FACTUR|NC IF
 BEER AND WINE ID
 CO 0N, SAYS HOOVER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Adminis- tration opposition to any attempt to stop the manufacture of beer and wine so long as the sale of whisky is per mitted was made certain today with the announcement that Food Admin istrator Hoover opposed such step, because he believed the evils atten- dant upon putting the nation on a whisky. brandy and gin" basis would far outweigh the small food savings that would result.
 Hoover Has SaySo
 President Wilson already has stated in d letter to Senator Sheppard of Texas prohibition champion and dem ocratic member of the agriculture com mittee, that he would not use his power to prohibit the use of foodstuffs in beer and wine unless Mir. Hoover regarded such a step necessary to the feeding of this country and the allies.
 Threaten Administration
 After the position of the President and the food administration had been made known, Senator Sheppard and others said the senate would strike from the s11,O00,0o0 emergency agri- cultural bill house amendment pro- hibiting the use of some $6,000, 900 car ried by the measure unless manufac- turing of wine and beer was stopped by the president. Senator Smith of South Carolina chairman of the agri- cultural committee, upon his return to Washington tonight, said he was in- clined to oppose the amendment be- cause a small proportion of grain is be- ing used in the production of alcoholic liquors, since the distillng of whisky was stopped last September. Senator Smith said efforts would be made to have his committee take up the bill without delay.
 Prohibition by Law
 Mr Hoover explained his position in a. statement made public tonight along with his letter to Senator Sheppard. He said that if the American people want prohibition it should prohibit by legislation to that end and not force the food administration to take the re- sponsibility for an orgy of drunken ness.'
 'As tor the discussion over the sup pression of brewing" said Mir. Hoover's statement supplementing his letter to Senator Sheppard, T wish to say em- phatically that from a strictly food conservation point of view, I should like to see the use of food stuffs sup pressed in all drinks, hard and soft.
 This is not, however, the whole ! story. We stopped distilling year ago, There is a long supply of whisky, gin and other 20 per cent to 40 per cent distilled drinks in the country. We have reduced the consumption of food stuffs in brewing by 30 per cent and reduced the alcohol content of beer to 2s. per cent If we stop brewing. the saloons of the country will still be ope,. but confined practically to a whisky and gin basis. Any true advocate of temperance and national efficiency these times will shrink from this ad- mission for the national danger in it is greater than the use of 1000 900 bush els of grain monthly in the breweries.'

Runor of Other Sinkinas

Possibility that vessels still unre- ported may have been sunk was seen in a statement of the master of the schooner Muengel who arrived here today with his rescued crew. He de- clared he was told by the commander of the submarine which destroyed his ship that the U boat had sunk three steamers, one a passenger liner, and three schooners. last Saturday. Nc vessels have been reported sunk that day

 So far as known the only loss of life was aboard the New York and Porto Rico liner Carolina and that was definitely established tonight at only Is by revised figures compiled by the company showing that there were aboard the vessel only 21S passengers and Ill in the crew, making q total of 329. instead of $50 as originally re- ported.

Situation is Unchanged'
 Standing out in sharp contrast against previous communications is sued by the German war office, claim ing gains by feats of arms or the falling back of the allies, is the an nouncement made in Berlin Wednes- day night "On the battle front the situation is unchanged,' says the an nouncement.
 The Germans still are suffering heavy casualties in their unsuccess- ful assaults.
 New Attack at Reims
 Along the Marne front there has been no further fighting of great mo- ment. although in the vicinity of Reims the German artillery has be- gun a violent bombardment. which probably indicates another infantry attack in this region, which has been relatively quiet for several days.
 Thirty Samn1es; POO Huns
 The American troops in the LSne- vile sector daily are showing dheiI merit. Wednesday witnessed another venture carried out by them, 30 oi the men attacking the German lines and penetrating them to the third de- lenses and assaulting the 200 occu- pants with rifles, bayonets and gren- ades
 The losses to the enemy were nu- merous while the American casualties were very small.
 Germans Are Fearful
 The Germans seemingly are fearfu of the band of warriors in the Lune- vile sector, for they again have in creased the rain of shells of all kinds including gas, upon and behind tn, American line. Cnstinted praise con tinues to be given the Americans fol their intrepidity.
 British Front Quiet There still has been no resumption of the battle on the front in Flander! and Picardy where the British ar' | facing the Germans. The enemy how ever. is carrying out violent lombard ments on various sectors. In tn Amiens sector near A1orlancourt. tn Germans made an attempt to captur 1 a British position but were repulsed | the British taking some prisoners Near Lens, the British also capture' a number of Germans
