Nine British Ships
Sunk in Attack on
Convoy, Nazis Claim
10000 Tons Sent
Down Recently, Berlin
Reports; Prien Missing
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 23.-German sub
marines have sent 10000 tons of
British shipping to the bottom OF
the Atlantic in recent operations
the Nazi high command asserted
today, but it acknowledged that
Germany's ace U-boat commander
Guenther Prien, has been given up
for lost with his ship.
Nine of the British ships sunk
were picked out of one convoy
bound for England, the war bulle-
tin said, and accounted for 10000
tons.
Among them, it listed three tank
ers of 5000. 10000 and 10000 tons
and a heavily laden munitions
steamer of 1000 tons"
Another $4,000 tons of merchant
shipping was said to have been sunk
by submarines in lone attacks and,
in waters west of Africa, submarines
sank 2l,400 tons, the communique
said.
The losses inflicted off the African
coast were said by other sources also
to have been sunk out of convoy.
These also credited air attack with
sinking 5,000-ton merchant vessel
"A submarine under Comdr.
Guenther Prien has failed to re-
turn from its last cruise against the
enemy the communique disclosed.
Loss of this boat appears certain
Comdr. Prien, hero of Scapa
Flow who has been decorated by
the Fuehrer with Oak Leaves to the
Knights cross of the Iron Cross in
recognition of his outstanding
merits, and his brave crew will live
on in the hearts of all Germans. 4"
Comdr. Prien sank the British
battleship Royal Oak at Scapa Flow
October IA, 1889, when the war was
less than two months old and his
feat in raiding home base of the
British fleet won praise even from
the British for its daring.
German reports have acknow-
lodged since April 80 that he is
missing, but the British have re-
fused to say whether Prien is dead
or captured.

Indies Defies Japanese
In Trade Negotiations
By the Associated Press.

BATAVIA, Netherlands Indies,
May 23.-A newly launched Jap
anese press campaign bristling with
threats and pointed warnings will
not force the Netherlands Indies
from their firm stand in commercial
negotiations with Japan, Informed
quarters asserted today.
Furthermore, these informants
said a Japanese commercial pro-
gram as outlined by the Toxic press
with reference to the Indies was
considered largely unacceptable
here.
The four -month-old commercial
negotiations were declared to have
entered a critical stage with the
exchange of final memoranda earlier
this month. The main stumbling
block has been the diSinclination of
the Indies to sell large quantities of
vital products to Japan, lest they
find their way to Germany.
The launching of the violent press
campaign one informed source said,
may mean a move to prepare the
Japanese public for a breakdown in
the negotiations.
The editorial blasts also are seen
in some quarters here as foretelling
Japan's refusal of the Batavia gov
ernment's terms.
Details of this government pro-
posals for the sale of various pro-
ducts to Japan and the fixing of
quotas for them have not been dis
closed.

Conferees Agree on Bill
To Take Over Axis ShiDs
By the Associated Press.

BY tDe Associated freSS.
A joint Senate House conference
committee agreed today on legisla-
ton permitting the government to
take over more than 80 forign ships
now lying idle in American harbors.
Only final approval of the COM
promise between Senate and House
versions by both houses is necessary
to send the bill to the White House.
The conference group accepted
several minor Senate amendments
and wrote new language for a Sem
ate provision providing that this
Government could acquire foreign
ships only by purchase when they
were actually owned by foreign gov
ernments.
The revised provision says that
ships can be taken over only by
purchase or charter If the Maritime
Commission finds they actually were
owned by a foreign government at
the outbreak of the war, Septem-
ber 3, 1899.
Any money paid for such vessels
would be retained in the Treasury
for possible application to any debt
owed the United States.
Senator Bailey, Democrat, of
North Carolina, chairman of the
conference group, said he under
stood only two vessels now in Amer
lean waters were owned by foreign
governments-an Italian tanker and
small Danish training ship.
Action by the 81 American gov
ernments on utilization of refugee
merchant ships was postponed until
Thursday because official statements
had not been received from eight
of the republics.

Three More British Destroyers Sunk

heavy bomb as it tried to dive to

Today's communlque said simply
that the heaviest losses" were in
f1icted by the Luftwaffe in its joust
with British sea power. 1t gave no
location for the battle other than
the Eastern Mediterranean-al
though the Crete region undoubt-
edly was meant.
Neither did the high command
mention the struggle for the island
itself, object of an air-borne NaZi
assault which has gone unreported
officially since it began four days
ago
Thus, in two consecutive days of
hard fighting at sea, the Germans
claimed to have destroyed or dam
aged two British battleships, 10
cruisers and an unspecifled number
of vitally-needed destroyers.
These losses weakened the fight

Hard Struggle Seen Ahead.

eating German belief that the en-

Two Commissioners
|ndorse Staggered
Pay Day Principle
Jockson's Advice Asked
On Changing System
By Executive Order

Placing of the District govern
ment's I4,000-odG employees on a
staggered pay day system was ap-
proved in principle today by Com
missioners John Russell Young and
Brig. Gen. Charles w. Kutz.
The District pay roll now amounts
to about s27 100000 a year.
Mr.. Young and Gen. Kutz ex-
planned that they had not yet acted
on the question as members of the
Board of Commissioners, but said
they were very favorably inclined
and saw considerable advantages
from disbursing the pay at more
times than on the 1st anG 18th days
of the month.
However, the suggestion previously
had been offered that if staggered
pay days were adopted by the Fed
eral Government. the entire District
personnel might be considered as a
unit for pay day along with Federal
departments. The city heads said
they had not yet worked out any
system
Doubt Legislation Needed.
They directed Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech and District
Auditor Arthur R. Pilkerton to go
into the subject 10 determine first
whether the municipal government
would need legislation TO adopt such
a system and, second, how the sys-
TEN might be arranged.
Doubt was expressed at the Dis
trlct Building as to whether legisla-
ton would be necessary.
Mr.. Keech said that stores might
be able TO place their workers on
more regular employment if the
high and low peaks of their busi-
nesses were leveled off. and that
with District and Federal workers
doing their shopping at scattered
times there might be some lessening
of traffic congestion.

ton would be necessary led the

today that he would ask the opinion
