American Coasting Ships At
tacked Off Jersey Coast.
AMERICANS START
SUBMARINE CHASE
Destroyers, Airplanes and Dirigibles
Flock to Scene From Maine to
Florida Convoyed Ves
sels Are Avoided.
Washington, D. C. Ten American
vessels were known Tuesday to have
been sunk bv German submarines off
the North Atlantic Coast since May 25,
The largest to fall prey to the raid
ers, which are seeking to prevent the
sailing of transports with troops for
the battlefields of France, was the
New York and Porto Rico liner Caro-
lina, of 8000 tons, which was attacked
Sunday night about 125 miles south
east of Sandy Hook.
The fate of her 220 passengers and
crew of 130, who took to the boats
when shells began to fall about the
vessel, was unknown late Tuesday
night, but there was hope they had
been picked up by some passing ship
or would reach shore safely in the
small boats.
Not a life was lost in the sinkings,
according to the late reports.
Besides the Carolina, the known vic
tims of the U-boats are the Alantic
Refining company's tanker Herbert L.
Pratt, the steamship Winneconne, of
' 1800 tons, and six schooners, the larg
est of which is the Hauppaugue, a new
ship of 1000 tons, and the Edward H,
Cole. The crews of these eight ves
sels have been landed at Atlantic ports.
The steamer Texel was sunk by a
German submarine Sunday afternoon
60 miles oft the coast. The crew of 86
men landed at an Atlantic port.
Reports brought ashore by the sur
vivors indicated that the Winneconne
and nearly all the schooners were sunk
bv the same U-boat which had been
lurking in the path of shipping off the
New Jersey coast and the Delaware
capes since last month.
The stories told by the skippers of
the schooners indicated that the com
mander of the submerBibles was unus
ually humane for a German submarine
officer.
In no instance, so far as is known,
was a lifoboat shelled, and in all cases
reported the crews were given oppor
tunity to escape or were taken aboard
the submarine, where some of them
were kept prisoners for eight days be
fore they were turned adrift to be
picked up by a passing vessel.
Germany at last has brought her
submarine warfare to the shores of the
United States, apparently in a forlorn
hope of striking telling blows on this
side of the Atlantic and of drawing
home some of ' the American naval
forces from the war zones, where the
U-boat menace is being slowly but
surely strangled to death.
Now York Scores of United States
warships are ranging the waters off
the North Atlantic coast in search of
the German submarines which made
their long-expected attack on Amer
ican shipping in home waters late
Monday afternoon.
While the details of naval opera
tions were withheld, it is known that
destroyers, fleets of submarine chasers
and other vessels are flashing their
searchlights over the waters along the
coast and far out at sea from Maine to
Florida.
Hydro-aoroplanes and airplanes
arose like flocks of huge birds from
every naval station along the Atlantic
coast when the warning was flashed to
them, and soon were scouting over the
waters where it was believed subma
rines would be most likely to be lurk
ing. Foreign aviators and American
students as well as the regular Ameri
can flyers eagerly volunteered for serv
ice. Man Shot; at Launching.
San Francisco The Isanti, an 8800
ton steamer, built for the United
States emergency fleet corporation,
was launched successfully from a ship
yard near here Sunday. The vessel's
name was chosen by Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson. The ship is 427 feet long
with a beam of 64 feet. An unidenti
fied man, who attempted to climb over
the stockade surrounding the yard and
who disregarded or failed to hear a
warning, was shot by a sentry. His
condition was said to be serious. He
was unable to make any statement.
Comfort to Cross Alone.
Washington, D. C The naval hos
pital Bhip Comfort, formerly the War
Line steamor Saratoga, has been se
lected for service as an ambulance Bhip
between this country and the American
naval base abroad. She has been spe
cially refitted to bring home sick and
wounded sailors and marines. The
present plans are to send the Comfort
across without convoy, notifying the
German government of her intended
voyage and its purpose.
CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS DIES
Ex-Vice President Departs After Bril
liant Political Career.
Indianapolis, Ind. Charles Warren
Fairbanks, ex-Vice President of the
United States and former United
States senator from Indiana, died at
his home here at 8:55 o'clock Tuesday
night.
Death was due to interstitial nephri
tis, which had been a chronic ailment
with him but not regarded as particu
larly serious until recently.
All members of the former Vice
President's family, except Major Rich
ard Fairbanks, who is in France, were
at his bedside.
The distinction of. birth in a log
cabin, which illustrious Americans of
an earlier day commonly had, was also
that for former Vice President Fair
banks. It is probable that he was the
last of American statesmen to have
been born in one of these humble
cabins.
The one where he was born on May
11, 1852, was at Unionville Center,
Ohio.
Mr. Fairbanks traced his ancestors
to the days of Oliver Cromwell, who
counted "Fayerbankes" among his sup
porters. Jonathan Fayerbankes, the
first member of the family to come to
America, landed at Boston in 1636.
Mr. Fairbanks' father was Loriston
Monroe Fairbanks, a wagon maker of
Vermont, who emigrated to Union
county, Ohio. His mother was a sis
ter of the late William Henry smith,
once general manager of the Associated
Press.
The Fairbanks home frequently was
the hiding place of runaway slaves,
and no black man was ever turned
awav from the door. Fairbanks was
8 years old when Abraham Lincoln
was elected President. Then followed
the Civil War, the stirring scenes of
which the future Vice-President fol
lowed with keen interest.
Soon after he was graduated from
the Ohio Wesleyan College at Dela
ware, O., Mr. Fairbanks was appoint
ed agent of the Associated Press at
Pittsburg, Pa., holding that position
for one year. His most important
assignment was the rally of the Demo
crats and liberal Republicans in 1872.
This was one of the largest meetings
of the campaign and was addressed by
Horace Greeley. Later in life he fre
quently referred with keen delight to
his work as a newspaper man.
U-BOAT TOLL 58 IN
MISSING AND DEAD
New York The toll of dead and
missing from the raid of German sub
marines against shipping off the
American coast apparently stood Tues
day night at 58, all from the steam
ship Carolina, of the New York and
Porto Rico line.
Sixteen of this number are known to
have perished when one of the ship's
boats capsized in a storm Sunday night
after the vessel had been sunk. The
fate of the others is not known, but it
is hoped they have been picked up by
a passing ship and will yet reach shore
safely.
Officials of the company have placed
the number of passengers aboard the
Carolina when she was attacked 125
miles off Sandy Hook at 220 and the
crew at 130, making 330 in all.
Captain Barbour, of the Carolina,
reported to the company that he was
on board the schooner Evan B. Douglas
with 150 passengers and 94 of the
crew. The schooner is being towed to
this port by a tug and us expected to
arrive soon.
A boat containing 28 survivors, 21
passengers and 7 of the crew arrived
at Atlantic City Tuesday afternoon.
Another lifeboat with 10 passengers
and nine members of the crew arrived
at Lewis, Del., with the report that 16
of the 35 who had started from the
ship had lost their lives in the storm
Sunday night.
If the company's figures as to the
number aboard the ill-starred liner are
correct, this leaves 42 unaccounted
for. That number might have been
crowded into one lifeboat.
The only possible clew to their fate
was found in the fact that an empty
boat, marked with the name of the
Carolina, was picked up at sea by
British Steamship which arrived here
Tuesday. It had every evidence
having been riddled by gunfire.
may have carried the passengers and
sailors who still are missing. Another
ship was added to the list of victims
of the U-boats when the American
schooner toward K. Kaird, Jr., was
found in a sinking condition off the
Maryland coast, after having been
bombed.
Spain Exonerates Allies.
Madrid German newspapers having
asserted that British and French hos
pital ships are being used for the
transportation of munitions of war,
the Spanish ministry of foreign affai
has issued an official note declaring
that an inquiry made by the govern
ment enables it to affirm that Britis
French and Italian vessels employed
hospital ships, on board of which are
Spanish naval delegates, are Ming em
ploved in a perfectly correct manner
and for the exclusive transport of sic
and wounded. 1

MILLS FACING CRISIS
Must Grind Stock Feed or Shut Down,
Ultimatum Presented to Heads
of Agricultural Bureau.
Either Northwestern mills must be
permitted to grind wheat and supply
stock feed for Northwestern farmers
or the latter will be forced to sell
their cattle and hogs and go out of
that industry. That ultimatum was
presented at the agricultural bureau at
its meeting in Spokane Wednesday by
John H. Roberts, chairman of the spe
cial committee that is investigating
the situation.
The bureau will busy itself at once
bringing pressure to bear on the grain
and milling division authorities at
Washingon, D. C, for relief. It is
declared that Northwestern wheat is
being shipped into the Middle West
for grinding, depriving the Northwest
of the stock feed. It is further con
tended that the Middle West has corn
for stock feed and does not require
Western millfeed, which is vitally
needed here. Many Northwestern
mills are already shutting down be
cause they have ground the maximum
allowed them.

In the Lake Quinault region five
sawmills are already cutting spruce
for government use and more mills are
expected to locate there. The sales to
these mills are made on condition that
the lumber be cut on the ground. So
far the sales of timber have averaged
from 1,000,000 to 4,000,000 feet.

NEW
REVOLT PLOT
f
Huge Conspiracy Extends to All
Parts of Country.
MOSCOW UNDER SIEGE
Czecho-Slovak Troops Mutiny Cap
ture Railways Message Tells of
Schemes of Revolutionists.
London The discovery in Moscow
and Petrograd of a large counter revo
lutionary plot which stretches through
the whole of Russia is announced in a
Russian wireless message received here
Sunday.
To this plot is attributable in part
the mutiny of the Czecho-Slovak
troops, which have captured important
railway junctions and lines.
The soviet executive decided on May
29 to undertake the partial calling to
arms of several classes of workmen
and the poorer peasants in Petrograd
and Moscow and the Kuban and Don
regions.
' At the same time Moscow has been
declared in a state of seige. Counter
revolutionaries have been arrested in
considerable numbers and. energetic
measures have been taken against the
press. These measures are necessary,
it Ts announced, owing to the situation
in which the Russian revolution has
been placed.
The question dominating all others
is that of supplying the people with
bread, now that Russia has been de
prived of the Ukraine granary. The
Kuban and Don regions are, according
to the Russian scheme, menaced by a
counter revolutionary band, which
hopes by means of complications to
provoke intervention by foreign pow
ers and thus drive the Russian masses
toward famine.
In most regions the large owners are
mobilizing the well-to-do peasants
with the object of resisting the efforts
of the government to commandeer the
flour depots, and are trying to conceal
their stocks for purposes of future
speculation and finally agents of the
counter revolution in the various cities
throughout the country, says the state
ment, "are seeking to excite the
starving masses against the soviet
government.
Tokio It is understood that the
United States government is studying
the feasibility of extending economic
assistance to Russia. The proposal
to assist the Russians in an economic
way was made as a possible solution
of the problems now confronting that
country. Asstisance from the Uni
ted States would take the form of pur
chasing and assembling them in Eu
ropean Russia.
It also is proposed to purchase food
in Japan for distribution in Russia.
Stockholm Germany is so well sat
isfied with the progress of events in
the Ukraine that she has decided to
withdraw two-thirds of the German
troops now in the east. The troops
withdrawn will be used on the western
front and they will be replaced in the
east with Austrians.
Stockholm How little power re
mains to Finland and how completely
the Germanization of Finland has been
effected, is indicated by announcement -Sunday
that all licenses for import in
to Finland must be approved by Ger
man officials. The Deutsche bank has
established a branch office at Helsing
fors for the control of affairs.
BIG NAVAL BATTLE
EXPECTED ANY TIME
New York The United States now
has a large number of first-class bat
tleships "preparing side by side with
the best ships of the British navy for
an engagement on the high seas,
which is expected to occur at any
time, with the German fleet," accord
ing to a statement made in an address
here Sunday by Rear Admiral Albert
Gleaves.
"I am going beyond the border line
of secrecy," declared Admiral Gleaves,
"when I say that a few days ago there
came an alarm to the heads of the
British anvy that the German battle
ships were about to come out for the
expected engagement on the high seas.
"I know that the British navy heads
gave the first-class American battle
ships a post of honor in preparation
for the attack."
Huge U, S. Force Arriving.
London The official correspondent
"With the Australians in France, in a
telegram received here, says that the
Americans, with their enthusiasm and
earnestness and their magnificent phy
sique, have brought an impression of
the mighty untapped strength behind
them which has caused the French and
British armies to take fresh outlook
of the situation. He Bays that the
widespread quartering f Americans
over the country behind the lines is
the best indication of the multitudes
in which they are arriving,
