AMSTERDAM. Aur. -6. Government
circles in Moscow are aerttatlna; for i
tmnonrr union with Germany, ac
cording to a letter from that city dated
July it, which la printed In the ranic
fart Gasetta. The letter reads:
"It is comprehensible that, under the
tress of the foreign situation, a move
ment ehould be manlfeetlnir Itself in
part of the soviet government toward
a certain temporary union with Ger
many, as a power which must protect
Its rear lines In a fight against the
menace of the Cseeho-Slovaka, The
appointment of Dr. Karl Helfferich as
ambassador to Russia is welcomed in
this sense in- government circles here
as promising both military relief and
economic co-operation. Under the con
ditions of the war, however, a break
between the soviet government and the
entente Is an essential prerequisite for
tht.. and since the murder of Count von
Jtlrbarh. it has been the task of Ger
man diplomacy In Moscow to accen
tuate this prerequisite."
Allies Repadlate Soviet.
The entente diplomatic representa
tives before leaving Vologda for Kan
dalaska. according to the Russian news
paper. I'ravda. as quoted by German
newsDaoers. declared their countries
did not desire to maintain any sort of
connection with the soviet government
as long as that government was sup
porting "the German Junker power on
Russian soil."
A plot against Nikolai Lenlne, Kol
hevlk Premier, and I-eon Trotsky. Win
later of War and Marine, has been dis
covered, according to a Moscow tele
gram printed by the Vossiscbe Zettung"
of Berlin.
Both of these officials have there
fore doubled their precautionary meas
urea.
Increased by the Inky darkness,, the
crew under the masterly direction of
the officers went coolly and methodic
ally about the difficult task of bringing
the sick and wounded up on deck.
As many as could be handled In this
manner were placed In slings and low
ered to the escorting destroyers, which
by wonderful seamanship in the rough
water managed to work In close enough
to the sinking ship to take off men by
lowering ropes.
The morale of the wounded, lying on
deck waiting to be taken off, is de
scribed by members of the crew as "too
fine for words." They never complained
and they never urged the rescuers to
hurry.
Wemea'a Coadnct Splendid. .
The less seriously disabled assisted
their more unfortunate mates to go
first. Women were placed in the first
boats lowered, notwithstanding their
protests that they should not precede
the patients.
One boat, containing six women, was
thrown against another Just before
touching the water and upset. Three
women from the capsized craft were
picked up by another small boat, along
with five wounded British soldiers, all
of whom had managed to keep afloat,
although each had an arm in a sling.
The Warllda bad been in the Chan
nel service two years and this was her
first crossing from France in which
she did not carry a number of German
wounded prisoners. Members of the
crew remarked over this fact and some
expressed the opinion that it was of
sinister significance.
Steward Swings to Craft.
T. E. Redman, one of the stewards,
had an unusual escape. He had been
placed with the six women in the first
boatmnd when the rope broke he seized
another line and clambered band over
hand to the top. There be managed to
awing In from the end of the davit to
the rail, where a wounded "Tommy"
awaiting rescue seised the steward's
hand and aided him to clamber aboard.
This man described how one woman.
becoming entangled in the ropes as she
was being placed aboard the boat was
caught between the boat and the side
of the ship. She was frightfully in
jured by the pressure and begged to be
released, but no aid was possible. The
small boat finally went adrift and the
woman fell into the sea and was
drowned.
Disaster Eads In ELxplosloa. j
The Warllda settled slowly at the
stern and, then suspended. When the
water reached the boilers they blew up
In a terrifying column of fire and
steam and then darkness fell again.
The American Red Cross is making
the survivors comfortable.

A CANADIAN ATLANTIC PORT,
Aug. 6. The toll of the German sub
marine raid in Canadian waters during
the past four days had reached a total
of five ships tonight. Four of these
were small fishing schooners three of
them American and the other the new
lumber schooner Dornfonteln. The last
of the five was reported today when the
crew of the Nova Scotia fishing craft
Nelson A., of Yarmouth, came ashore
In their dories and said their vessel
had been sunk by a submarine Sunday
noon about five miles from Lockport,
N. S.
When the crew of the Nelson A. Isst
saw the raider she was speeding due
south In pursuit of a largo steamer.
Another report of the chasing of a
steamer was brought to a Canadian
port today by the auxiliary fishing
vessel McLaughlin.
The McLaughlin was chased by the
submarine, but managed to keep out
of range of her guns until the raider
veered off after the steamship in the
distance.
All Crews Escape.
No lives have been reported lost.
The crews of I'.ie. American fishing
schooners Muriel and Annie M. Perry,
both of Boston, and the Rofc Roy. of
Gloucester, which were attacked Sat
urday, reached Canadian ports in their
dories yesterday. '
The first Canadian victim of the
raider, the lumber schooner Dornfon
teln, which was looted and burned Fri
day at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy,

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5. German
submarines are operating at two widely
separated points along the Atlantic sea
boardone In the Important sea lane
off the Virginia coast, where the Amer
ican tank steamer O. B. Jennings was
sunk Sunday, and the other in Canadian
waters, where fishing smacks and other
unimportant craft have been destroyed.
Tw Raiders Operating.
Presence of another raider in the
waters off the middle Atlantic coast
where. In May and June, upwards of
0 vessel were sunk, became known
today when the Navy Department an
nounced the sinking of the Jennings
and the landing of ail the members of
the crew at Norfolk.
Details of the sinking were lacking.
but from the fact that the steamer sent
a wireless message saying ehe was be
ing shelled and asking for assistance,
officials assumed that the submarine
opened fire without giving the crew
time to take to the boats.
Patrol boats answered the radio call.
but neither the Jennings nor the sub
marine was In sight when they arrived
Sunday night at the position given by
the steamer. Later survivors were
found.
Mime Trace- ts tr-Boat.
The aubmsrlne which has been op
erating for several days in Canadian
waters is believed by officials to have
sowed the mines of foreign manufac
ture picked up off the coast of Long
Island after the armored cruiser San
Diego was sunk near Fire Island, N. Y.,
July 19.
Belief of officials that one of these
mines caused the destruction of the
cruiser was confirmed today by the re
port of the naval court of inquiry,
which expressed the opinion that the
loss of the ship "was due to an external
explosion of a mine."
The court found that the San Diego
was steering a proper course to min
imize the submarine and mine dangers
in those waters, with a careful watch
maintained and the ship zlg-zagging
at a speed of 15 knots.
Captain CkrUry Vindicated.
Loss of the vessel with the death of
six men was.in.no way due to any
negligence, failure to take proper pre
cautions or Inefficiency of Captain
H. H. Christy or any of the ship's personnel.

The calls for 12 Clatsop County men
to take a mechanical training course
at Portland and for four men to take a
imllar course at Spokane have been
filled by enlistments. Tomorrow morn
ing 22 Clstsop County young men will
leave for the military training camps.
If going to Camp Fremont and six to
Camp Lewin The latter are to fill the
shortage la former quotas.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. The new
man-power bin which would extend
draft age limits to IS and 45. inclusive.
was introduced in both houses of Con
gross today.
The measure was referred to the
military committees. Congressional
leaders plan to have it considered this
month.
Provost Marshal-General Crowder to
day urged the immediate enactment of
the Administration's man-power pro
gramme and suggested September S as
registration day for tl-r 13,000.000 men
between the ages of IS and 45, whose
names are not already on the Nation's
selective service list.
Immediate Action Urged.
Unless Immediate steps are taken to
provide additional men. General Crow
der said the weekly registration of men
as they attain 21 years of age will be
necessary to fill the draft quotas Sep
tember 1, when only 100,000 of the 1918
registrants will be available.
On the Introduction of the bill Chair
man Chamberlain announced that the
Senate military committee would meet
tomorrow. He said he did not think
hearings would be necessary and only
three or four days should be required
to report the bill.
Chairman Dent, of the House com
mittee, said since only three members
of his committee are in Washington, it
was doubtful whether the bill could be
acted upon before the House reconvenes
on August 19.
Recesses May End.
Suggestions made on the Senate
floor by Senator Curtis, of Kansas, that
the Senate abandon its programme of
recesses and perfunctory sessions until
August 24, if the bill can be favorably
reported by the committee within a few
days, were Indorsed by Senator Cham
berlain, -i
However, Senate leaders now in the
city er any plans to this effect would
be held In abeyance until the committee
could determine Just how much time
would be necessary for a thorough dis
cussion of the bill.
The bill would amend the present
selective act so as to require the regis
tration of all men between 18 and 20
years and 32 and 45 years inclusive.
While the whole number of men in the
latter classes would total 10,028,978,
General Crowder estimates the total
number who would be eligible for class
would be only 601,236, owing to ex
emptions for dependents for industrial
and physical reasons.
Between 18 and 20 years, his estl
mates show that 3,171,771 would regis
ter, while 1,787,609 men would be
eligible for class 1.
Bill's Provisions Oat lined.
The principal provisions of the man
power bill" are as follows:
"The President may draft such per
sons liable to military service in such
sequence of ages and at such times as
