' Knicker bocker POLAR CUB ELECTRIC 4 'MOTHER' CRAFT REPORTED Survivors of Various Victims of Raiders Continue fo Reach Amer ican Ports Mauban Sunk Off Italian Coast. WASHINGTON. June 10. Germany's submarine raiders, which some 16 days aero made their first appearance in American waters since the declaration of war, apparently are still ranging off the Atlantic coast, though no re ports of additional sinkings had been received at the Navy Department late tonight to add to the official toll of 18 craft sent to the bottom. The last announcement from the de partment concerning the operations of the raiders came last night and told nf the sinking of the American steamer Pinar del Rio Saturday morning off the Virginia capes. The master of a Brazilian steamer arriving today at an Atlantic port said he had sighted a submarine this morn ing 75 miles off the New Jersey coast and had seen an American transport open fire on the U-boat, but at the department late tonight it was said that no confirmation of this encoun ter had been received. Survivors of the Pinar del Rio ar riving at Norfolk said after they aban doned their ship they saw the subma rine which sank the Rio send down an American sailing vessel and a schooner but, so far as known, their crews have not yet been landed and the Navy De partment said It had no reports to con firm these statements. "Mother" Ship Theory Doubted. Observers here were not inclined to agree with the theory of the Rio's sur vivors that the vessel which they saw near the submarine was a "mother" ship. They believed rather that it was probably a freight steamer which the raider had overhauled and kept within range of its guns with a view to re plenishing Its stores at leisure before sinking the craft. Even if the raiders are accompanied by a "mother" ship, it was said, the, latter vessel would hardly make its appearance in the shipping lanes, where it would be in imminent danger of encountering the swift destroyers and other patrols vigorously, seeking the U-boats. AN ATLANTIC PORT, June 10. An American transport fired five shots at a German submarine this morning 75 miles off the Jersey coast with un known results, according to informa tion brought here tonight by the cap tain of a Brazilian steamship. Five Shots Heard. The ship, .bound north from a South American port; sighted the submarine soon after 10 o'clock. Immediately full speed ahead was ordered and the vessel zigzagged. , -j. A. few minutes later a. vessel In the distance, which later was identi fied as a United States Army transport, opened fire on the submarine. Two shots were heard, followed almost im mediately by three others. The submarine was too far away, said the South American captain, for him to tell whether any of the shots took effect. He also said that he thought the transport was too far from the submarine for the latter to try a hit with a torpedo. Result of Fight Unknown. The Brazilian steamer continued its course with all possible speed for this port without waiting to ascertain the result of the encounter. NORFOLK, Va. June 10. Survivors of the American freighter Pinar del Rio, arriving here today from Manteo, N. C, said the German submarine which sank their vessel 110 miles northeast of Cape Henry last Saturday morning after a stern chase of more' than an hour was accompanied by a large steamer which they believed to be a "mother" ship. They also asserted that after their vessel was sent down by gunfire the submersible sank two American sailing vessels. "Walter C. B. Burrows, first assistant engineer of the Pinar del Rio, described the craft with the submarine as a vessel of 6000 gross tons with a single funnel amidships. She was painted gray and stood some two or three miles in the offing while the subma rine sank the Rio. When the American craft went down the submarine sig nalled the vessel in international code "follow me," and the U-boat and her consort steamed away. NEW YORK, June 10. Captain J. Mackenzie and 16 members of the crew cf the American steamship Pinar del Tiio, who have been missing' since the vessel was sunk by a German subma rine off the coast of Maryland on June 8, reached here today on a Norwegian steamship, which rescued them from a small lifeboat about 70 miles off the coast of New Jersey. All the members of the crew are thus accounted for. The chief mate and 15 men were landed early 'this morning on the North Carolina coast. Hour Granted to Quit Ship. The U-boat sank the Pinar del Rio 75 miles off the Maryland coast with gunfire after the crew had been given opportunity to get into the two life boats. Captain Mackenzie said. The Americans took their time and it was half an hour before they left the ves sel. Captain Mackenzie and his compan ions drifted 10 hours before being picked up by the Norwegian ship.

NATION'S POLICY DECLARED Secretary of State, in- College Ad dress, Assert Prusslanism and Enduring Peace Cannot Be Harmonized. SCHENECTADY. N. T.. June 10. "Prusslanism and the idea of enduring peace among nations can never be brought into harmony; compromise cannot even be considered," Robert Lansing. Secretary of State, declared here today in an address as honorary chancellor of Union College for 1918. Instance after instance from his own experience at the head of America's Foreign Office were cited to prove his point because, he asserted, "Americans, even those intellectually equipped, have but vague ideas ofc the attitude which made Prusslanism possible." The causes of the war, Mr. Lansing said, were simply the German desire for world dominion. "That was and is the central thought of Prusslanism," he said. "It excited the cupidity of the governing and wealthy classes of the empire; it das sled with its anticipated glories and by its promise of a boasted racial su periority to the German millions who were to he the Instrument of achieve ment. With a devotion and seal worthy of better cause they turned their energy Into those channels which would aid the ruling class. "We must go on with the war. There Is no other way. This task must not be left half done. We must not transmit to posterity a legacy of blood and misery. "We may in this great conflict go down Into the valley of shadows, be cause our foe Is powerful and Inured to war. We must be prepared to meet disappointment and temporary reverse, but we must, with American spirit, rise above them. With courageous hearts we must go forward until this war Is won."

Marsh, representing the Farmers' National committee on war finance, the first witness today, waa questioned by Representative Moore, of Pennsylvania, regarding an article he wrote saying he had been informed by a member of Congress that the rea son excess profits had not been taxed was because bankers control the news papers and the newspapers intimidate Congress.
