U-Boats Believed
To Be Operating
In Pair? Off U. S.
WASHINGTON, June 10. That Ger- ??
many is maintaining the U-boat block-!
ade of American waters by a fleet of .
submarines operating in pairs, is the
beiei of naval officials who to-day
cl ccked.up the sinkings during the last
week.
The campaign is not expected to sub- |
s.de, but will continue, according to the !
best authorities at the Navy Depart- i
ment, who declare that it is quite feas- !
ible for Germany to send to American
coasts sufficient underwater boats to ;
permit to operate continuously.
This could be done, navy men point |
cut, by employing a fleet of thirty sub- |
mersiblcs, operating in pairs, two leav?
ing their base every five days, and the ',
same number returning to their home |
port every five days. While *he cruis
mg radius of the largest of \he Gcr- !
man submarines 240 foot, 1 ,S00 ton <
vessels?is not more than 7.000 miles, :
it readily can be seen that the trip to i
American waters and back, h distance !
of 6,000 miles, can be made with suf-?
ficient fuel -cmaining to permit o<* '
cruises in American waters where ship-'
ping is the most available.

Red Cross Starts
i
Drive for 25,000
Registered Nurses ;
Stirring Appeal Made to;
Young Women of the
Nation
Red Cross workers yesterday plas
tered the city with posters that appeal >
for 25,000 registered nurses for army j
service. Here and there throughout
the greater city recruiting booths were j
erected. In the entire United States !
there are only 98,000 registered nurses.
which means that one of every four j
qualified women must volunteer if the I
American wounded are to be carm? for. i
"Nurses, the call from No Man's
Land is 'Come across,' " reads one of j
the poster appeals hung in windows I
and pasted on blank walls. It was ad- j
dressed not only to women who are |
now in actual practice, but to nurses
who, perhaps, have been married or fur j
other reasons have gotten out of touch
with their profession.
t i
Surgeon General Gorgas Appeals
Surgeon General Gorgas in a letter j
to the Red Cross expressed the army's |
need of nurses in the following pawi- i
graph :
"No more urgent need exists to-day
and no factor can be more important j
in the winning of this war than ade
q?ate care of our sick and wounded.
Nurses who respond will have the in
finite satisfaction of knowing that they :
are lessening the sufferings of the men
of their own country; those bound by
ties of blood friendship and brother?
hood. Nurses of America, your coun?
try calls you."
In each of the recruiting booths
there were stationed one army nurse, !
one civilian nurse and one soldier. ;
They told their story in a few words. ;
In substance, it was: "America called
her men to fight. She now calls her
women to help her righting men. En
roll for service if you are a nurse. Re?
lease a nurse if you employ one. Enter '?
a training school to become one if you |
can." j
To registered nurses the worke*s in
these booths explained that Red Cross j
nurses definitely assigned to war ser- ;
vice become thereby part of the mili?
tary establishment of the United
States. Although they remain Red
Cross nurses their papers are trans
ferred to the army or navy depart- |
ment, which thereupon assumes juris- '
diction and issues orders and instruc- ,
tions covering assignments to duty ;
and details of transportation.
Pay of Nurses
They were also told that enrolled j
Red Cross nurses when called into
service with the army or navy will '.
receive $50 a month in the United
States and $60 a month elsewhere, plus
maintenance and travelling expenses. '
Chief nurses may receive additional
salary. ?
So great is the need for trained
women that the Red Cross has lowered
a standard it has maintained for years ?
and nurses are being enrolled who are
not registered if they graduated prior
to January, 1918, from a registered
school.
"We must have 5,000 nurses imme?
diately and the full 25,000 by January j
I," said Mrs. W. K. Draper, vice-presi- ?
dent of the New York County chapter i
of the Red Cross and chairman of the ?
central committee for the nursing cam?
paign in greater New York, yesterday.

'Mother Ship9
Of U-Boat Seen
By Rio Crew
Continued from page 1
of her visit on Saturday and had im-1
mediately begun an investigation. Ac- i
cording to reports to the naval head- '
quarters the steamer appeared in Lewis j
Harbor and anchored. Observers on j
shore, becoming suspicious, were pre- I
paring to put out to her when the ,
strange craft weighed anchor and
steamed away.
Skipper of Rio
Tells How U-Boat
Sunk His Craft
Captain John McKenzie, of the i
steamship Pinar del Rio, sunk Satur?
day by a German submarine, arrived |
here yesterday on a fruit steamship i
accompanied by his mate and fifteen of j
the crew.
Tne skipper said he would be will- j
ing to give details of the sinking had
it not been for instructions from the
government to tell nothing of bis ex
perience.'
"We left Cuba last Tuesday," he
said, "and were informed at the time
that there were submarines operating
along the Atlantic coast. It was bad
information, but I was not worried
about it. On Saturday at 8:35 A. M. a
submarine which seemed to have come
from nowhere moved off the starboard
bow and signalled us to stop. I
thought at first it was an American
patrol. We were not alarmed. There
was no one on the submariners deck
at the time. She was coming up
slowly. When she was up in the
water about as high as she could get
I
a signal? was hoisted signifying 'Heave
to and abandon ship.'
"We heaved to and presently the,!
submarine came in closer. An office'r
came up on deck and shouted to us to
get together all we cared to save and
be quick about it. We promptly obeyed
orders.
"We put off in two lifeboats, the
mate and myself and fifteen men in
one and sixteen of the crew in another.
My boat moved over to the U-boat and
%ve asked the skipper what ne:<t was
wanted of us. He replied by asking
if we had taken off everything that
belonged to us. We hadn't time to
take all, but we told him we had and
he shouted in English, 'All right, get
away from here and good bye to you.
We pulled away and soon the U-boat
began firing on our vessel and sank
her. We kept pulling away all the
while, but we had seen what was going
on. When this task was over the
U-boat moved to the southeast and
slowly submerged. That is all we saw
of her.
"In my hurry I left $300 aboard. I
suppose the German would have given
me time to have taken that money if 1
hadn't been so quick, but I forgot about
it in the lush and now it is lost."
The skipper said that he and his
men were picked up by a freighter and
turned over to the Mantes life saving
crew on the Virginia coast and sub?
sequently they were put aboard the
vessel that brought them here yester?
day. With the arrival of the skipper
and his fifteen companions the entire
crew of the Pinar del Rio has been
accounted for.
A steamship from the Mediterranean,
formerly a Hamburg-American liner
and now operated by the United States
Shipping Board, came to port yester?
day with the crews of three vessels
that had been in trouble. She brought
over twenty-six members of the crew
of the American freighter Mauban,
which was sunk by submarines off the
Italian coast three weeks ago, and
thirty members of the crew of the
City of Wilmington, which burned to
the water's edge and was abandoned
off the North African coast. Also she
brought over from Gibraltar twelve of
the crew of the City of Pensacola,
which was sunk by subr^nrines in the
Mediteiranean early in May.
The Mauban was a vessel of 1,253
tons. She was built in 1900 at Cam'
belton, Scotland, for a tobacco trans?
portation company in the Philippines.
She was 230 feet long with a beam of
34 feet.

Will Save Most of
Wounded Soldiers,
Gorgas Declares
Not More Than 10 Per Cent
Will Be Permanently
Disabled
Moral Standard High
American Medical Associa?
tion Meets to Discuss
War Plans
CHICAGO, June 10. ? Seventy-five
to 80 per cent of all American troops
wounded in battle will be restored and
returned to service again, Major Gen?
eral Gorgas, surgeon general of the
Unite! States Army, said here to-day.
The number of soldiers permanently
disabled will not exceed 10 per cent,!
he said.
General Gorgas is to make a dozen
addresses at the sixty-ninth annual
convention of the American Medical
Association, which will continue
throughout the week. The war plans of ?
the medical profession will be formu- |
lated at the convention.
Chiefs of the United States Army
and medical forces, members of the;
medical missions from France, England,
Italy and Belgium and organizers of
the new medical reserve being formed
in this country are to take an import?
ant part in the delberations of the
body.
Registration of delegates and visitors
which begnn to-day indicated an at?
tendance of 3,500 of the leading physi?
cian?, and surgeons of the world.
"We are putting into the field the
very best army physically and men?
tally m the world," said General Gor?
gas. "The parents of the boys who
compris? this great army should know
that they will receive the best possi?
ble treatment. We have had the best
health conditions in mobilizing this
army that the world has ever seen.
The death rate in the Japanese army
from disease and wounds is 20 per
1,000, and this was the lowest of all
the armies in the world. The death
rate in the American armv is 8 per
1,000.
"The moral standard of the Ameri?
can army in Francs is just as high
as it is in this country. Statistics show
there is much more disease among the
men when they join the army than at
any time thereafter. Tn this country
the figures show that for months not
a single case of this class of disease
has been reported at several of the
training camps where thousands of
men are assembled. These facts speak
for themselves."
Dr. Ren? San, in charge of the base
hospital at La Panne, Belgium, paid
high tribute to American doctors and
nurses at the front.
"They are skilful, cool, courageous
and work twenty hours a day," he said.

Peace She Offers
Clemenceau Paper Asks if
Berlin Wants to Bolshe
vize Whole Entente
(By Cable to the Courrier des Etats Unis)
PARIS, June 10.?"L'Homme Libre,"
Premier Clem?nceau's newspaper, says
in regard to the German peace offen?
sive:
"Who could desire peace more than
we? Do we not keep up this war solely
for the sake of peace'.' Was it not in
July, 1914, we, the Allies, did every?
thing to maintain it? And if there is
no longer peace, if we were compelled
to wage war, it is because it was neces?
sary, come what may, to oppose the
league of free peoples to the terrible
aggression of the vandals and conquer?
ors. We are still on our feet before
their invasion and refuse to deliver to
them, without guarantees, without as?
surances and witnout reparations, the
fate of a world that only owes its sal?
vation to our soldiers.
"Who, then, could blame us for not
throwing ourselves bleatrng under the
same teeth which tear alike the scraps
of paper of treaties and the mos; e.e
mentary liberties of nations?
"Do they want us to Bolshevizc the
whole Entente in imitation of Russia?
Do they-think it suffices to be invited
to a 'peace talk' v ithout any prelimi?
nary understandings, to surrender our?
selves with hands and feet tied to a Ger?
many that until now has remained dea*
not only to the suggestions of Presi?
dent Wiison, but also to the concrete
propositions formulated by certain of
their own representatives in the Reichs?
tag? ?
"This would be too much, recogniz?
ing that the aggressor is the master of
the hour. But we also do not want to
permit hil militarism to say that it is
we who systematically are opposed to
peace. It is this trap that must be
avoided. We must not furnish to the
generals of the Kaiser the excuse for
justifying to the eyes of the.r strangely
abused peoples a prolongation of their
misdeeds.
"Let Germany speak, we are ready
to listen. Much as we resist cunning
propositions of indefinite conversa?
tions, ve hasten to l<?arn precisely
what she wants to have examined,
what conditions she puts for the ces?
sation of her piracy and aggressi<yi.
"From such an inquiry only good can
result for us; our hands are clean, our
cause is just, we want nothing else
but what M. Clemenceau one day de?
fined as a 'just and lasting peace.' We
shall see if such a peace is proposed
to us. To the broad daylight then,
Germans! "
