PACIFISTS BEGIN MOVE
TO ESCAPE WAR DOTY
Seek to Obtain Exemption From
Military Service for "Con
scientious Objectors"
AIM TO GET RULING
WASHINGTON, June 23.
Two pacifist organizations have launched
a huge campaign that. If carried out, of.
flcials said today, would greatly undermine
the selective draft law. These organiza
tions, It was stated, are attempting to open
a channel for escape from military service.
More than 10.000 have enrolled ln tho
propaganda. Agents ot tho Department of
Justice are fixing their attention upon the
activities of representatives of the organ
izations, So far efforts ct the pacifists are con
fined to attempts to have Inserted ln tho
exemption regulations, which will bo pub
lished probably Monday, a clause that
would specifically permit persons professing
conscientious objections" to war to escape
selectlvo draft and enrollment ot members
with the Implied promise that their member
ship constitutes them "objectors."
The most active organization Is the Amer
ican Union Against Militarism. One ot the
official') of this organization said that not
less than 10,000 persons had enrolled since
June 6, registration day.
The other organization has headquarters
at Northfleld, Minn.
In their activities the pacifists appealed
to President Wilson and Secretary Baker to
provide for exemption of "conscientious ob
jectors" and members of pacifist unions.
This would furnish their big membership
with exemption.
Thwarted in this, they are suggesting
that objectors be allowed to enlist ln In
dustries to avoid bearing arms.
After an appeal to the War Department.
Roger N. Baldwin, field secretary of the
American Union Against Militarism, re
ceived a letter from Secretary Baker, point
ing out that the draft law falts to provide
for "conscientious objectors," and stating
that the department cannot "go behind the
law" In administering it.
With two of their avenues shut off, tho
organizations are seeking to obtain a liberal
Interpretation of a clause In the law that
permits the exemption of members of
recognized religious sects or organizations.
Another U-Boat

OontlnHfi! from rose One
He shouted to the bridge: "Here Bhe comes;
torpedo port side I"
"Tho chief officer, who was on tho bridge,
shouted to tho quartermaster. 'Hard star
board !' We swung off. Tho torpedo had
a red head, about sixteen Inches ln dia
meter. It was about ten feet long. The
torpedo struck us on the port side a glanc
ing blow nmldshlp.'', near the engine room.
Our ship was empty and we all thought
sho had exploded from tho terrific noise
the torpedo made when hit.
"Simultaneously the ship's whistle blew
short and successive blasts, which was
signal to abandon ship and man tho life
boats. "The captain, who had remained on the
ship, found the torpedo had failed to ex
plode. All hands were thentordered back.
We lay perfectly still for at least an hour.
"When the commander of the submarine
saw our crew comlns back from lifeboats
and climbing on deck he gave up his chase
for the two British uhlps and Btarted for
us again. The submarine was about 2000
yards oft our starboard beam.
"Then came the command to man the
guns. The gun crews ran foro and aft to
their positions. The chief gunner gave
them tho ranges from the bridge.
"When about COO yards oft our star
board quarter a shell from our forward gun
hit tho submarine nnd she submerged.
Again she appeared and our after gun hit
her and blew away her periscope. Another
shot from our forward gun fell right on top
of her.
"There was a shower of black speck3
which rose high in the air, followed by a
creat commotion, bubbles of water and a
light blue smoke arlMng from the stern of
the U-boat where a second beforo had been
tho eyes of our enemy.
"Our crew, which was lined up against
the .starboard rail watching tho battle, gave
a hearty cheer when the submarine disap
peared. Nineteen shots were fired."
SINKING OF SUBMARINE
REPORTED OFFICIALLY
WASHINGTONj-June 23.
Tho apparent sinking of a derman sub
marine by the gun crew of an armed Amer
ican liner, reported ln dispatches yester
day, was officially reported to the Navy
Department this afternoon. The report was
made by O. J. Gulllckson, chief boatswain's
mate In charge of thonaval guard. The
U-boat was put out of action only after one
of her torpedoes had struck the steamer,
falling, however, to explode.
"At about 6:30 o'clock p. m" reported
Gullckson, "the man on the forward gun
platform shouted 'torpedo !' The helm ot
the ship was Immediately put hard to star
board and the ship headed toward the tor
pedo. The torpedo- hit the ship Just abaft
the beam ; glanced and went around the
stern and sank. The holds, engine room
and bilges were Inspected and the ship
found not leaking. The torpedo apparently
did not explode.
"Immediately after a periscope was
sighted oft the starboard beam, and fire
was Immediately commenced with the for.
ward gun at about 2000 yards. The ship
was headed toward tho periscope and all
shots were falling very close to the perl
scope. Suddenly a shot from tho forward
gun hit Just In front of the periscope, mak
ing the submarine submerge, and a light
blue smoke came up from the stern of the
submarine. The periscope appeared again
at a range of 600 yards, when a shot from
the after gun hit It square on the water
line, making small bits ot steel fly and
causing great commotion of bubbles In the
water. Apparently the submarine was
either sunk or badly damaged. Nothing fur
ther was seen of It."

BUILD SHIPS QUICK,
WILSON'S DEMAND
Top Speed Needed to Pre
vent Success of German
U-Boat War
BOTH WOOD AND STEEL
WASHINGTON, June 23.
Kvery nvnllable ocean-going carrying ves
sel, wood, steel or any other construction,
must be built nt top speed at onco unless
the German submarine menacfo Is to imperil
me success of tho present war.
Convincing cvldenco showing this fact
now M In possession of President Wilson,
It was learned this afternoon. He will
settle the controversy between Chairman
William Denman, of the United States
Shipping Commission, and Gcnerat George
W. Goethals, general manager of tho
emergency fleet corporation, within the next
few days. And In settling It, officials who
arc close to the President openly declare, he
will take the position that tho entire
resources of tho nation must be devoted to
turning out vessels of every kind and that
unless the pnrtles to tho controversy are
willing to quit fighting and work in har
mony they will have to glvo place to men
who will.
The Information placed before the Presi
dent, upon which ho wilt base his decision,
is of tho most sensational kind. It shows
tho following facts:
If German submarines can maintain
their present rate of destruction, accept
ing the average for the last three months
as nn average that will hold good for
twelve months, they will destroy a total
of 12,000,000 tons of shipping In a year.
Steel production of the United States
and Great Britain pushed to tho limit will
provide only for sufficient material to re
place 4,000,000 tons of that total.
Wood production of the United States
for shipbuilding will provide for not to
exceed 2 000,000 tons of shipping addi
tional. Combined steel and wool construction
can meet only one-half of tho total de-
structlon of the German submarines dur
ing the first year of tho participation of
tho United States in tho war. Later on
this production will b ;-nterlally In
creased as new plants av". built.
With these facts before him, the Presi
dent ls expected to order construction of
every available typo of vessel e.' once.
The official denial by the White House
today that the President had settled the
controversy ln favor of General Goethals
was considered highly significant. It made
It very plain that there was to be no snap
Judgment, and that the issues at stako wero
to bo thoroughly Investigated.
The President ls known to think very
highly of the ability of both General
Goethals nnd Mr. Denman. Ho commis
sioned the latter to deal with Foreign
Minister Arthur J. Balfour when tho latter
was here, In an effort to get tho British
Government to relinquish contracts for a
million tons of shipping which was being
leisurely constructed ln American ship
yards. Previous efforts to get these con
tracts released through diplomatic methods
had failed. Denman departed from dip
lomatic methods nnd warned Mr. Balfour
that these contracts were clogging American
shipyards nnd that they would bo of im
mense benefit to Germany, Inasmuch as
these contracts called for singlo shift work
and prevented utilizing labor the entlro
twenty-four hours. So convincing was tho
Denman argument that Mr. Balfour sur
rendered al of theso contracts to tho ship
ping commission.
General Goethals, like Mr. Denman, also
has accomplished great things for tho
President, and the latter is exceedingly
loath, It is understood, to lose tho services
of either man. He ls expected to try to
reconcile the general to accepting wooden
ships aa auxiliary for steel, and If he usc
ceeds tho controversy wilt end at once.
General Goethals, however, has taken the
position that the wooden Milps nt best
are a makeshift nnd has declined to have
his district tepresentatlves award any con
tacts lor tliel1- construction except to firms
and yards which have built ways at their
own expense. This has aroused bitterness
tn certain quarters and resulted In com
plaints being mado direct to tho White
House.
Transit Bill at Mercy
of Enemies in House
Contlnned from I'mre Onn
Salus bill and the two Hecht measures. Tho
Mayor added that he had discussed tho
situation with a number of men today over
the telephone from his home In Ambler,
but what specifically was talked of and
with whom ho talked he declined to state.
Mr. Baldwin was accompanied on his
visit to Philadelphia by Representative
Edgar Smith, of Bedford, of cabaret bill
.fame, who Is a member of the subcommittee
to which the bill wa3 given by Chairman
Stern, It was as a 'member of that sub
committee that Aron got possession of tho
measure and was able to bring It to thl3
city. Representative Smith laughed, when
talking of the event, saying he did not
even know he was a member of the sub
committee until ho read about it ln the
newspapers.
One of the rumors afloat In political cir
cles throughout the day was that tho real
reason for Mr. Lane's retirement from tho
chairmanship of the Republican City Com
mittee was that he could not go along with
the Vares In their support of Mayor Smith's
transit program. Tho Vares declared there
was absolutely nothing In the report

PUZZLE PICTURE
REAL PUZZLE TO MANY
Only Ono Woman Managed to Guess
Policeman's Identity
Do clothes make the man? One would
believe eo ln looking over the hundreds of
answers that were received to the Kvenino
Ledger picture puzzle that appeared In the
plctorlat section of June 18. Tho picture
was unique: It was a likeness of Henry
Haerlng, a former popular Kensington po
liceman, but Instead or tho familiar uni
form, the clothes were typical of a Mexican
outlaw, with broad sombrero nnd a knife
stuck In tho belt.
Tho replies received were In no manner
flattering to a number of prominent men,
as many believed that Thcodoro Roosevelt
or William II. Taft was tho apparent bandit.
And of course there wero numerous guesses
that Francisco Villa had nt last appeared
ln our midst.
It remained for one woman Kllen Hus-
iun, ioi. J-.USI j.cnign avenue lo see I

nino LEDor.n prlzo of $2 is awarded. Out
of tho hundreds of answers received that
was the only ono that was correct.
Kensington business men, sandwich men

central sections of the city wero said in tho
answers received to bo tho man in tho pic
ture. The picture was taken about a year
and a halt ago on an nytlng near Hancocas
Creek, whero for a Joke Haerlng had tho
photo snapped by friends.
Haerlng was n familiar figure in Ken
sington ns a policeman until two years ago,
when ho retired and accepted a pension.
He was a great favorite with the children,
and was commended several times by his
superiors for gallant actions nnd bravery.
