(By Associated Press.) '
New York, June 5. Two
more vessels, .a Norwegian
steamship and one schooner,
were added today to the list of
ships known to have beensunk
by the German submarines
which are. raiding in American
waters. The total now stands
at 13 five steamers and eight
Bchooners,
. The fact which stood out
most prominently in the day's
developments is that the U
.boats are still operating near
the coast and have not re
turned to their bases, assuming
that the two which already
have been identified are the
only ones on this side of the
Atlantic.
Moving Southward.
This was demonstrated when the
Norwegian steamer Eidsvold was
sunk off the Virginia capes late 'yes
terday. , The location of the attacks
shows also that the submarines are
moving ..steadily southward, if they
are the same ones which attacked
shipping almost at the gateway to
New York harbor. The Navy de
partment reported yesterday an en
counter between a destroyer ana a
lubmarine off the coast of Maryland.
None of the vessels reported sunk

: ' Death Toll Reduced to 16.'
The possibility that vessels still un
reported may have been sunk was
seen in a statement by the master of
the steamer Charles T. Mengel, who
arrived here today with hfs rescued
crew. He declared 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 schoon
ers, last Saturday. .No vessels have
t. i t il.... .i

" ' So far as known the only loss of
life was aboard the New York and
Porto Rico liner. Carolina and that
was definitely esfablished tonight at
only 16 by revised figures compiled
4y the company, showing that there
were aboard the vessel only 218 pas
sengers and 111 in the crew, making
a total of 329, instead of 350 as orig
inally reported. All those who per
ished evidently, were lost from . the
- lifeboat which arrived yesterday at
Lewes, Del. -Ten of them were pas
sengers and six were members of the
crew. .'
tJ Venture Closer Inshore.
v Washington, June 5. The German
sabmarine raiders again have dis-,
closed their positipns. An announce
ment from the Navy department to
night said the Norwegian steamer
Eidsvold was sent to the bottom at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon," 40 miles
off the Virginia capes. The entire
crew was rescued today by a navy
supply ship. '
In 30 hours after the attack on the
Eidsvold nothing has come. to indi
cate where the Germans were Or what
they we're about.
The raiders were closer in shore
on any previous occasion, except
when they launched the mines picked
up off the Delaware- capes. The
tanker Pratt apparently struck one of
, these mines, and a number of others,
unexploded, have been gathered up
in the same vicinity by patrol craft.
The French tanker Radioleine, un
successfully attacked at 9:30 o'clock
yesterday morning ofrthe Maryland
efoast, probably was J00 miles north
Mink eight hours later. ', !
Two Submarines Seen." '
Reports of survivors of the steamer
Texel and the schooner Mengel today
added little to the stock of informa
tion that' had been o-athcrcH ahonf
the raiders. THe first officer of the
Texel reported seeing a second sub
marine lying awash nearby when his
ship was halted on June 2. From the
captain of the Mengel came new in
dications that one of the raiders at
least is of the standard 800-ton type,
mounting two guns and measuring
about 200 feet It was a similar craft
that sunk the Cole, although later reports-have
indicated that a larger U
boat accompanies the 200-footer.
Find More Hun, Mines.
. Washington, June r5. Mine sweep
ers have picked upva number of mines
off, the Atlantic coast, the Navy de
partment announced. . today. The
mines were of German ( manufacture
and undoubtedly were strewn, by tfce
raiding submarine j. . , . . 7
HOOVER DEFEATS MOVEMENT
TO EFFECT' BEER PROHIBITION
Washington, June 5. Administration opposition to any
attempt to stop the manufacture pf beer and wine so long as
the sale of whisky is permitted was made certain today with
the announcement that Food Administrator Hoover opposed
such a step, because he believed the evils attendant upon
putting the nation on a "whisky, brandy and gin" basis would
far outweigh the small food savings that would result.
President Wilson already had stated in a letter to Sen
ator Sheppard of Texas, prohibition champion and democra
tic member of the agriculture(committee, that he would not
use his power to prohibit the use of foodstuffs for beer and
wine unless Mr. Hoover regarded such a step necessary to the
feeding of this country and the lilies.
'Senator Sheppard and others said the senate would
strike from the $11,000,000 emergency agricultural bill a
house amendment prohibiting the use of $6,000,000 carried
by the measure, unless manufacture of wine and beer was
stopped by the president. ,
Mr. Hoover tonight said that if 'the American. people
want prohibition it should prohibit by legislation to that end
and not force the food administration to the responsibility
for an orgy of drunkenness."
It is mighty difficult to get drunk on two and three--fourths
per cent beer," he added. "It will be easy enough if
we force substitution of distilled drinks for it." ,

PROF. HOPT SAYS
WOULD NOT FIGHT
AG AINSTJN VADER
University Instructor Testifies
; Conscience Would Prevent
- Taking Arms; Caldwell .,
and Lucky on Stand.
Lincoln, Neb., June 5. Further
testimony on behalf of several Uni
versity of Nebraska professors was
given today at the public hearing be
Ing'conducted '. by. ' thej . university's
board of regents into charges, by the
State Council of Defense that some
of ,the university's instructors have
not been aggressively .American in
their attitude on the war. . .
Taking the witness stand on his own
behalf, Prof. Hopt asserted that he
conscientiously objected to war.
"If Nebraska were invaded would
your conscience prevent .you frojn
shouldering a gun and going out to
fight?" the witness was asked by At
torney H. H. Wilson,, representing
the regents.
Attorney Wilson asked the witness
how far he would carry his theory
of non-resistance in an emergency,
and the professor explained that if
he were attacked by a highwayman
he would allow the robber to kill him
rather than take the life of the high
wayman. Explaining further, how
ever, the witness stated that his con
scientious scruples applied only to his
own conduct and that he had ad
vised those who were able to go to
war to do so.
Luckey for the war.
Prof. H. W. Caldwell also testified
in his own behalf, asserting he was
in favor of war as soon as America
entered the conflict. He was opposed
to militarism Ad autocracy and
naturally was against Germany.
Acting Chancellor W. G. Hastings
gave testimony that he had found
Profs. Paul H. Grummann and L. B.
Tuckerman to be loyal to their gov
ernment. Dr. Luckey said he believed in1 the
war and did not see how the presi
dent had held off so long as he did.
Other professor will be called as the
hearing progresses until all who were
charged by the "State Council of De
fense with not supporting the United
States have had their chance to tell
their story. ' .

3,000.
Omaha must furnish 998
men for General Crowder's
latest draft call for 200,000 men
June 24. This is one-fourth of
the total quota for the entire
state. Nebraska is to furnish
4,000 men.
One hunded and eighty
eight of Nebraska's quota will
be sent to the State university
at Lincoln for two months spe
cial training in the newly-es
tablished government school
there. The other drafted men
will be sent in two groups of
405 men each. One. group of
2,000 men will be sent to Camp
Funston, Kan., and the other
2,000 to Fort Riley.
Division No. 1 will send 200 men;
No. 2, 226; No. 3, 168; No. 4, 67; No.
5, 229, and No. 6, 108.
Only men finally classified in Class
1 will be entrained nor will men hav
ing claims pending be taken.
Iowa's quota of 3,000 registrants
will be mobilized at Camp Dodge be
tween June 24 and June 28.
200,poo Called to Colors.
Washington, June 5. While 1,000,
000 young Americans just turned 21
were registered today ' for service -in
the : war for world r freedom, orders
went out from the office of Provost
Marshal General Crowder to the gov
ernors of all states except Arizona for
the mobrfizatiori between June 24 and
June 2$ of 200,000, more registrants.
This" "was in addition to 40,000 negro
men requisitioned today . from 20
states, and brings the total of selec
tive service men called to the colors
to 1,595,704, and ,wheii they are in
camp the nation's army will number
well over 2,000,000 'men. s,
The registration today apparently
was attended by the perfect order that
marked the. enrolling a year ago 10,
000,000 men. Military authbrities esti
mate that from the number registered
today there will be had 750,000 men
fit for active duty.
While art act of congress requires
that the new registrants, be placed at
the bottom of the class lo which they
are assigned, many of them soon may
be called to the colors, as today's req
uisition upon governors probably
will exhaust the first class in some
states. While no formal explanation
was made, this was believed to have
been the reason why Arizona was
not included in today's call.
Troops Moving Rapidly Overseas.
Registration days for men becoming
21 years of age probably will be fixed
every three months hereafter. It is
estimated that 1,000,000 men become
of age yearly and the new registrants
are expected to go far toward keeping
up the first class in each state from
which thus far all men for the na
tional army have been drawn.
Assignments for the men called to
the colors under today's order indi
cate the rapidity with which troops
now are moving overseas. In nearly
every instance the registrants under
today's requisition arc assigned to na
tional army cantonments, whereas re
cently when calls were made, it was
necessary to send the men to national
guard, regular army and other camps,
because the cantonments were filled.
Illinois is directed to furnish 28.500
men under the latest call, more than
double the number called from New
York, which is second on the list.
Pennsylvania is to furnish 12,000 and
Minnesota 10,000.
The house military committee to
day reported a resolution by Chair
man Dent, making retroactive the bill
basing the draft quotas on the num
ber of men in Class 1 so as to legalize
any exceeding of authority as to the
number or quota which may have
been made in the first drafting of
men. The resolution was recom
mended by the . War department,
Chairman Dent announced.
Standardized Examination Proposed.
Chicago, June 5. Standardization
of physical examination to avoid the
annoyance of having physically unfit
men sent to cantonments and re
turned home after rejection at ythe
expense of the government will be
discussed by medical aides to the vari
ous governors at the annual meeting
next week of the American Medical
association, it was announced tonight.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has issued orders to all gubernatorial
medical aides to attend the meeting
at the expense of the government, and
it is expected that a uniform method
of accepting, and rejecting drafters
will be adopted.

IOWA WOMEN AT JEWELL FEED
63 HUNGRY NEBRASKA TARS
Hon submarines have no terrors for the bunch of em-,
bryonic "jackies" who left Omaha for the Great Lakes naval ,
training school Tuesday, but the pangs of hunger fill them
with real dread.
Sixty-three lads who enlisted at this recruiting station'
left for the Great Lakes school on three different trains
Tuesday. All three trains and the 63 recruits were stalled by
floods and washouts at Jewell, ia. "
On their departuie the boys were given their per diem
allowance of 75 cents per meal, but with the improvidence of
true mariners they spnt it all the first day out.
No extra allowance was made for the contingency of
floods or other acts of Providence, and when they were broke
the conductor of the diner told them he could not feed them
without money and took the diner away, so it would not
tantalize the healthy, hungry lads.
They sent and "S. O. S." call to Ensign Condict here:
"We are busted and stranded on a lee shore, with the break-
ers running high," said they. "No emergency rations in our
lockers."
Ensign Condict at once wired the mayor. of Jewell, who
notified the women of the city of a chance to do real war
work, and they set to baking pies, cakes and bread, roasting
the fatted calf and other domestic animals, and they stuffed
the boys full. There i3 enough left to provide them with the,
fat of the land until they reach Chicago tonight. f

Men's Christian association and can
teen workers during the heavy fight
ing along the" river Aisne were con
tained in dispatches received here to
night by the association's war work
council. ,
Men and women, Ignoring the battle
which raged around them, carried
food and drink to the fighting soldiers
and made desperate efforts to destroy
their huts "and remaining stores when
retreat seemed inevitable. Then they
worked their way back through storms
of shrapnel and machine gun fire, and,
taking their' places with the troops
in the new positions, began again to
minister to them.
Carl Littlcpage of North Brookfield,
Mass., returned to a burning village
which the troops were abandpning, to
help a lot of little children, while
William Edward Wright of Toledo,
O., and Eric Mayell of New York
City fought their way back with the
regiment to which they were attacked.
At each pause in the retirement they
gathered what supplies they had and
served them to the soldiers as they
passed along the shell-swept road. .
Particular mention was made of
f Miss Marie C. Herron, sister-in-law of
W. H. Taft, and Miss-Jane Bowler,
both of whom worked with the
wounded while villages were burning
all around them. Miss Bowler, who
remained in Soissons during the last
offensive, stuck to her post, despite
the terrific bombardment, and only
left it' when everything about it was in
flames, an hour before the Germans
entered the city. -v

v; (By.. Associated Pru.) ?v
v With the American Army In
France, June 5. American
marines wrote another glorious
page in their history Tuesday
night and Monday in beating
off two determined German at
tacks on the Marne battlefield.
Last night they wiped out a
large enemy patrol, tnis morn
ing charged and captured en
emy machine guns and this aft
ernoon killed many of the en
emy and took, prisoners. ,
Break Up Massed Attack. '
The Germans concentrated large
forces before the .Veuilly wood and
began a mass attack. They were
mown down bv the American machine
gunners and the attack was broken un
before reaching the American line,
the Germans fleeing in confusion.
The marines are fighting like Tro
jans and have no desire for sleep.
After inflicting heavy losses on the
enemy last night they almost anni
hilated an enemy patrol this morning.
They outfought the German machine
gun position this afternoon, killed
seven Germans and captured a wound
ed German. . v
Americans Fire Deadly.
Tfie story of how the Americans
aided the French in stopping the Ger
man advance at Chateau-Thierry is a
most remarkable one. The regiment
which bore the brunt of the fighting
he had a glorious career dating back
to revolutionary days. AlthouRh it
is now composecd mostly of enlisted
men, many of whom had never been
under fire before, it arrived in France
and marched direct to the battle line
from its training camp. The regi
ment's fire was so deadly that it
broke up an entire German formation
and drove off the enemy in confus
ion. Their French comrades say
they showed the greatest skill and
accuracy while under fire.
Wounded American Soldiers
Recovering in Paris Hospitals
Paris, June 5. Ninety out of every
100 American soldiers wounded in the
Cantigny battle will recover.
" This is the judgment of the prin
cipal surgeons in the American army
medical corps.
Wounded have been brought to
American hospitals in the neighbor
hood of Paris, both from Cantigny
and Veuilly wood. ;
U. S. Will Make Prussia ,
Abhor Thought of War,
Says Secretary Lansing
New York, -June 5. Suggestions
of peace based on a "perpetuation
.of Prussianism" and criticisms of
the government and the conduct of
the war "which are not construct
ive" were condemned by Secretary
of State Lansing here today.
Prussia having "wickedly sought
war," the secretary said, it is the
determination of the . American
people that "Prussia shall have war
and more war and more war, until
the very thought of war is abhor
rent to the Prussian mind."

that there is "no change" on the west-

came increasingly confident that the
river Marne, for the second time in the

drive intended to crush, resistance to
the German war machine. ;.t
There was some question whether
it was possible that historyNvouldf fur
ther repeat itself and the invader
again be hurled back in precipitous
retreat before a vigorous offensive.
There was nothing to indicate, how
ever, that any officers familiar, with
the progress of the, fighting believed
that such a stroke by General Foch's
armies was to be expected now. 'They
did not see any reason to believe that
German had exhausted itself. ,

said, that renewed assaults on the line
