LOSS OF FIVE SHIPS

German Under-sea Emdens
Can Paralyze Shipping,
Say Experts, Despite As
surances by Admiralty.
HAVRE, France, Teb. t Tho British
steamship Ikarla, which was reported
In fibndon dispatches to have been
sunk by a German submarine In tho Eng
lish Channel, arrived here today in a
sinking condition. Sho had a big nolo
in her bow under tho water lino nnd
would hao foundered but for tho help
given by tugs. Tho Ikarla carries a cargo
oC'sugar and coffee.
LONDON, Feb. 1. "Von Tirpltz can't
starve England out and he knows It. His
submarine raids aro comparable to the
efforts of a '.squad of sharpshooters
against a whole army. His main purpose
Is to frighten England, and ho will never
succeed."
This was the statement made today by
a high Admiralty official. Liko other
naval officers, both here and at Paris, ho
assorted that the sensational activities
of German submarines on Saturday and
Sunday aro features of tho new policy of
warfare first publicly suggested by Grand
Admiral von Tirpltz, of the Oerman navy.
The Admiralty expects further raids
and tho loss ot more British merchant
men. No attempt Is maae to conceal
this belief here. Having demonstrated
their wide cruising radii by sinking threo
British vessels in the Irish Sea and two
others In tho English Channel off Havre,
tho German under-sea terrors are ex
pected to make fresh attacks.
Flotillas of destroyers and light cruisers
wero patrolling tho Irish Sea off Liver
pool today, hoping to catch sight ot a
'German submarine that chased the Leln
jster oft thrt entrance to Dublin Bay yes
terday. It is now generally accepted hers
that tha U-21 was accompanied by at least
one other of the latest and most powerful
design of German submarine when she
sent the Kllcoan, Ben Cruachen and
Linda Blanche to the bottom.
Some Admiralty officials profess to be
Hove that a whole squadron of German
submarines Is now operating oft the west
coast. The Tokomaru and Icarla, sunk in
the EnglUli Channel oft Havre, are be
lleved to havo been victims of a single
German raider.
Dispatches from Liverpool today said
that several steamships passed out ot tho
harbor on their regular sailings today,
Indicating no great alarm there. Tho Liv
erpool authorities have not availed them
selves of their power of forbidding all
sailings and It Is unlikely that they will
do .so.
British newspapers are bitter against
the latest phase of German warfare,
which Is called a breach of the recognUed
code of hostilities It is charged that1 the
I Germans have violated also the lnterna
1 tlonal faws by displaying tho British flag
on their submarines.
It is evident from the number of under
water craft at work that the German Ad
mldarty Is using many ot Its available
1$ submarines,
Naval experts, despite Admiralty opin
ions, declare that Germany's IS powerful
submarines can easily jaraiyxa British
shipping, despite the guawis of warships.

PORTER QUOTES EXPERT
OPINION OF "CORRECTION"
Offsets Judge's Criticism With Prnlse
Bestowed by Professionals.
Uxcetpts from a report on tho Houce of
Correction mado fottho Oepnttment of
d'ubllc Safetj, under the auspices of tho
Public Chanties Association of Pennsyl
vania, havo been Issued In a statement
by Director Porter to support his side of
tho issues involved In his controversy
with Judge Majer Sulzberger.
Two eperts, James A. Leonard, super
intendent of the Ohio State Beformatory,
and Hastings 11. Hart, of New York, drew
up the report, which refers to the Houso
of Correction as u "unique Institution,
adding
"It is not designed to deal with the or
dinal j misdemeanant criminal, but in-
fends to furnish rfimmllnl trnatmpnt for
certain specific types, habitual drunkards,
vagrants, street walkers and minors above
the nge of 16 jears, and, by a subsequent
act, provides for those committed for non
support of families "
"Tho threat of an Investigation of the
conduct of the House of Correction," said
Director Porter, "has thrown nono ot us
into a panic If there Is one thing In the
Blnnkcnburg administration of which it
li.is no fear, 11 Is of nn Investigation of
Its conduct in tho management ot tho
affairs Intrusted to It. All the cards aro
on tho table and are subject to careful
scrutiny at any lime."
The Director quotes the following para
graph fromlhe report of the two expeits
"Most of the magistrates are not law
jers, and It was discovered that many of
tho sentences Imposed by them did not
conform strictly to tho stntucs and their
commitments In consequences were often
defective and liable to be upset by habeas
corpus proceedings "
"This," adds tho Director, "brings up
tho very point I have at Issue, with tho
Court It will bo observed that the po
liceman does not Issue a warrant, but tho
magistrate Is It fair, therefore, for a
Judgo In open court to 'bawl out a police
man because a warrant or the transcript
thereof Is In error7"

40,000 PROMISE
SUMY-THEYU '
WAR ON BOOZE
Men in All Walks of Life
Pledge Themselves to
Work and Vote Against
Liquor Interests.
Evangelist Wins 1500 Convorts
After Two Stirring Sermons, in
Which He Exposed Effects of
tho "Demon Rum."
"Blll" Sunday wrestled with his
"boozo" enemy for three hours yester
day before two capacity audiences, "men
onl j," In the tabrcnacle. In the forenoon
ho went after tho devil with' full armor
on beforo a mixed audience. On nil threo
occasions "00070" and the devil went to
the mat with a tcrrlfllc thud.
Almost 40,000 men pledged themselves In
a BOlemn-vow to work nnd voto against
the "demon rum" at tho afternoon nnd
evening services, and during tho day W
men and women "hit tho sawdust trail,"
and, by grasping tho hand of the evan
gelist, nssured him they intended to live
clean lives hcrenfter, to oppose "booze"
and to enrol as folloners of Christ
Men fiom every walk of llfo were
among tho "trail hitters." Among them
were business men, law vers, doctors and.
It Is said, there were som bartenders.
THOUSANDS TUBNED AWAY.
It was the first tlmo during the Phila
delphia campaign that Sunday has opened
up his burning, scathing and destructive
battery on tho "booze crowd," nnd. In
anticipation of his bombardment thou
sands of men assembled outside the tab
ernacle in tho morning.
More than 25,000 persons wero unabto to
gain admittance at tho two services. As"
soon ns Sunday had finished preaching his
morning sermon he hurried to I1I3 home
changed clothing and returned nt once
and started preaching to the afternoon
crowd
At both services "Billy" aroused Uie
great audience to n high pitch of excite
ment nnd was applauded and cheered
until the sound of the crowd drifted oVer
Logan Square. He attacked the "booze"
business from every angle. No person
who "contributes anything toward send
ing men reeling to drunkards' graves' or
toward bringing povertyv-dtseaiie and. mis
erv to women and children for their own
selfish Interests," escaped his heavy fire.
Politicians who are backed by the
"dirty, stinking, miserable, rotten whisky
and beer-soaked gang," and many per
sons who rent their buildings to saloon
keepers and liquor dealers or for brothels,
ail came In for severe denunciation. None
of them escaped. All of them will go to
hell according to "Billy" Sunday, for he
made it plain that men who make money
through driving men nnd women todrunk
ardH' graves and to hell, were to be held
just ns responsible and maybe more so
by God than tho unfortunates they lead
Into sin
"Blll" went further than the politician
nnd the property owner In his denuncia
tions He declared that the man who
voted for politicians who stand back ot
the "boozo" crowd "will go to hell Just
as fast as tho man who sells the 'stuff or
makes It."
CONGRESS IN CORNER
"The whisky gang has Congress backed
Into a corner and Is choking tho gizzard
out of It." bo shouted. "Don't ou come
out, 5011 Democrats and Republicans, and
talk about the referendum, tariff or any?
thing clso In that line, when you lay down
on the chance to glvo the people of tpe
country opportunity to voto for national
prohibition. You're a bunch of cowards.
I'm sick nnd tired ot j our baby excuses.
You're back of that dirty, rotten, hellish
businew for fear you can't get the back
ing of the liquor people," lie thundered.
At the same time the evangelist told ot
the threats that have been made against
him for fighting the "booze" crowd, Ho
gavo notice that he was going to keep or
fighting It from now until it Is "knocked
Into hell," and Is going to stand between
It and tho bois ot the countr). "Yes,"
ho said, "even though It la necessary to
give my life." That was tha spirit In
which he tired his shot Into the liquor
people and thoso who back them
It was a practical, common-sense talk
that Sunday gave the 40.000 men Ther
were almost 1000 men In the crowd that
stood behind the platform and Under It
In the rear of tho building. Bishop Berry
vvas In the throng that stood back of tno
choir seats during the sermon Another
upromlnent man In this space was the
Itev, Dr. Parkin, district superintendent
of the Methodist Church George C
Shane, executive secretory, stood most ef
the time, and the remainder wero kept
busy balancing themselves on tha rail
Ing by tha side of the ministers' ecflon
ot the taurenacle,
BlUy" showed in facts and figures
what the cost of "booze" was, and, while
ho, held up before the audience the jalue
ot goods manufactured In all kinds-
factories and how much money la needed
to supply food and clothing for cold and
hungry women and children, ha phowul
that far more than this amount was
spent for liquor "that sends men to hU
by those whose families are lit poverty
and want
To Illustrate the way the mannooq t
the country is eaten up y "boos,1
"Billy" had a dozen boys come upon ths
platform
"There's the raw material tha salsen
ueae," he said as he patted the headt ot
the children- All the old drunkards wlH
die soon, so the dirty crowd of liquor w4
saloon people must depend upon ths
little fellows to keep up ther burfntu
