There Is a mystery club in the city.
Doubling Its size and power at each
meeting, nn organlzatlen about which
the greatest secrecy and mystery prevail
has sprung In a few weeks from a neigh
borhood society of nine men Into a pow
erful organization of more than 6500 mem
bers. At the end of the week more than
10,000 men will be enrolled, it is believed.
What Is Its purpose? Why does such a
decided air of mystery pervade the meet
ings? Who Is financing the club?
These questions no one can answer save
the founder. Not even the members
know. They attend tho meetings and
bring in new members that Is all that
Is required of them at present.
The name of this remarkable organiza
tion Is the H. C. Stone Men's Club, The
Rev. H. C. Stone, rector of the Holy
Trinity Chapel, at 22d and Spruce streets,
Is the head of the club and the mystery
man. , . ,
The organization has a large clubhouse
at 2216 Spruce street. Libraries, pool
rooms, shower baths and all the comforts
of a well-equipped club are at the disposal
of members. The club sepds out hun
dreds of dollars' worth of reading matter
and postal cards each week. At each
meeting an entertainment and refresh
ments are provided. Short speeches are
made by members and the meeting ad
jqurns. More than 2500 members of the club
went on an excursion to Brandywlne
Springs on June 19. All their expenses
were paid. Including a big dinner at the
Springs. The organization Is spending
large sums dally, and promises the mem
bers that when the 10,000 mark Is reached
great aclwtveroents will mark Its career.
Then, and not until then, will the purpose
of the club be announced by the founder.
Who pays for all entertainment, re
freshments and other heavy expenses of
the club the members do not know. There
aro no dues. Everything Is free.
The club started to grow with amazing
rapidity several weeks ago. Meetings
were held at the clubhouse every Satur
dav night. The membership was 1M0 on
June 12 Mqre than twice that, number,
2500. went pa the picnic to Brandywlne
serines the following week, while on
June 28 the membership had reached 9S3,
The members Include young men, old
men. businessmen, professional men,
clerks: stenographers-eyery class of men.
Thenwetlngs are called at S o'clock.
At each meeting the members have i ex
pected some sot of announcement from
Sir. Stone outlying his plans, but the or
ganizer smiles and say he will watt
until he has 18,000 men. Of late, the
elub has reached such an enowngus mem

WASHINGTON, Juno SO.
The steamship Armenian. ' carrying
horses from tho United States to' Eng
land, was sunk by German submarine
U-33.at 8:07 the night of June 23, accord
ing to State Department advices received
here this nfternoon. . ,
Advices were conflicting, but Indicated
that 20 members of the crow, mostly
American negroes, were lost. Ten Injured
had been landed nt Bristol. England.
The Armenian was sunk 20 mlle3 west by
north of Trebos Head, Cornwall, and tho
State Department's advices came from
American Consul Armstrong, at Bristol.
According to Armstrong the ship's wlre
lesa,plant was shot away, which gave rise
to the conjecture that the vessel was try
ing Jo dodge the submarine.
The Armenian", It was stated at the
State Department, on Investigation, was
owned by the Dominion Line, a subsidiary
of tho Leyland Line. It railed from New
port News June 17, bound- for Avon
mouth, on tho English west coast.
MAV CAUSE NEW CRISIS
Government officials were not prepared
to' say, on short notice, what the ship's
status would prove to be.
If It had been requisitioned by the Brit
ish Government or was chartered by it.
the Impression wan that It would class
as a transport and be subject to the rules
o' wnr .
In such a case It seemed- to be the
general opinion that the United States
could not go very deeply Into the matter,
though It mlsht claim Indemnity for the
loss of American lives.
All Information relating, to the affair
was rushed to the President, at Cornish,
and to Secretary Lansing, at Amherst.
Lansing was expected back In Wash
ington Thursday. ,,
In his absence none of the subordinate
officials of the State Department would
talk. Indeed, they held backfall thefacts
.:... ...,'. i,t nii lh chorses carried on.
the lost vessel were bought by commis
sioned British officers was held tol'iid
color to th theory that the Armenian
ranked as a transport.
