Rooker Tells How Germans Lure Ships to Destruction BLOW DISTRESS HORN Several of Submarine Crew Formerly Lived in New York and Pennsylvania A new form of German atrocity was brought to light today when Enoch J. Rooker, a ocaman on the schooner Edna, related his eight days' 'experience as a prisoner on the U-153, "When a fog hangs over the sea," said Rooker, "the U-boat 'captain puts red lights on the essel and blows a foghorn to Imitate a vessel In distress 'VJien a steamer comes to their assistance the Germans attack her " Rooker, ho lives at TOD Van Hook street, Camden, rather enjoyed his lght days' experience as a prisoner on the German submarine, despite the poor fare served and the cramped and somewhat perllouB living conditions Nearly all, the crew of the U-153, Rooker says, were former residents of America and t-poke good English They complained 'bitterly of the treatment ac corded them by their officers "The officers treat, us had give us hell." a gunner's mate told Rooker "I lived eight years In Pennsylvania and have a sweetheart in Philadelphia. Tf this thing ever ends I am coming back to America and never again will I look at Germany Menu Aboard U-153 Here Is the menu served on board the submarine, as described by Jlooker: Breakfast Black bread. Jam and black coffee without sugar. Dinner Boiled potatoes, beans and bacon and sometime sauerkraut and oold ham. Supper Black bread, spread with lard . weak tea with no sugar "The fare was pretty Toor." said Rooker, "but It tasted good when ou had no other. Rooker and his mates from the Edna thought when they v. ere taken aboard the U-153 they would be carried to Ger many as prisoners. They learned later that they were held merely to prevent them from souncjlng the alarm of the U-boat's presence on the Atlantic coast. "When we were taken aboard the sub marine we found sixteen men from the Hattle Dnun on her," said Rooker, In describing his experience. "We were sent below and confined in a long, narrow place in the' hold, lined on each side with bunks The crew of the submarine were friendly and treated us fine, but If we had been left to the mercy of the officers alone our fate would not have been a pleasant one Draft Men Who I.hed Here "'The crew would not talk when the officers were around. One of the crew told me that Germany has drafted all men who eer lived in America or served on shps .touching American ports for duty on submarines blockading the United States. The steward said he had lived In New York many years and at one time had been wealthy and had owned a Sew York hotel. ...v.

One of the pictures showed the Kaiser waving tq them. The engineers of the submarine told Rooker that she had kept submerged for three days after leaving Kiel to dodge allied destroyers. She carries six months' supplies and before appearing off the New Jersey coast had cruised around St. Thomas, the Bermudas and Cape Hatt'eras. "When the submarine submerged," Rooket; said, "everything was turned upslde down. She sighted a transport while w-e were on and went down so quick that she 4olled over and over, standing on her stern We were forced to crawl forward to balance her. "When they submerge they use elec tricity, but when they rise to the sur face they use oil. They used to let us I on deck a little each day to get the air j ana taue a smpKe. une nignt wo saw shore lights plainly and were told that we were about nine miles off Boston harbor." Rooker says that the crew would not talk about a submarine base, but he and his mates were convlncd that they have a base off Mexico.

AGREE ON GUN PLANT DETAILS i Midvale Company to Build It for 1 Government Washington, June 5. .Details of the huge big gun plant to be built by the Midvale Steel Company for the Gov ernment have been agreed upon.

The Yankee gunners during the battle for the city fired tens of thou sands of machine-gun bullets into the place. The city's streets are "filled with German bodies. In the repulse of the Germans by Franco-American forces at Jaul gonne, the enemy attacked three times before the bridge was finally blown up by an American detach ment. The Germans have been checked in the new battle of the Marne. Following, the successful resist ance to all enemy attacks yesterday and Monday the battle has now reached a point where the Allies are holding the Germans on the entire front between Noyon and Chateau Thierry. Any serious effort to ad vance elsewhere on the front appa rently has been abandoned. Foe Must Use Reserves Further progress by the Huns is unlikely unless they throw in their last reserves. With a total of 210 divisions (2,520,000 men) on the west front the Germans are now employing nearly seventy divisions (840,000 men) between the North Sea and Noyon and between forty and fifty divisions (480,000 to 600, 000 men) between Rheims and Switzerland. And having engaged about fifty divisions in the present battle between Noyon and Rheims, they still have many divisions in reserve. The present week undoubtedly will develop whether Ludendorff intends to engage these last reserves in the present drive and make this the decisive battle or will allow the present battl to become stabilized and hold these reserves for a fresh drive elsewhere. In the latter event he would again seek to otitain the advantage by a third surprise at tack toward Amiens or the coast, or some other objective calculated to give decisive results. FRENCH HOLXD FOES ALL ALONG MARNE Paris, June 5.

HAIG REPORTS RAIDS AND ARTILLERYING London, June R. German artillery was active last night north of the Scarpe and Lys Rivers and In the sectors of Merrls and the Ypres-Comines canal, the Bilt Ish War Office reported today. The British made successful raids near Lens and La Bassee canal, cap turing come prisoners. The Germans tried to raid British trenches near Morlanco-rt supported by a strong bombarement, but were driven off. Hale's Report The text of the official report fol lows: A few prisoners were captured by us last night as the result of success ful raiding operations near Lens and south of La Bassee canal. The Germans tried to raid our lines southwest of Morlancourt this, morning, supported by a heavy bom bardment, but were repulsed. Some prisoners were left In our hands. Hostile artillery, was active dur ing the night north of the Scarpe and Lys Rivers and near Merrls and the YpresComlnes canal.

According to the Reuter correspond ent at French headquarters, reports confirmed the Impression that the enemy has ben held. The fluctuations In the line due to the Intense fighting are considered unimportant, and the balance of the advantage Is with the Allies, such progress as the Germans have been nble to make costing them an exaggerated price In casualties Enemy losses grow more serious dally, but the Germans still are nu merically superior on the whole front and may be able to embark upon a new offensive In some other sector, perhaps that between Montdldler and Novon.

The German program in the terrific struggle which Is proceeding is a furious effort to secure the two Fertes Ferte-Mllon and Ferte-sou-Jouarre Ferto-MIIon coerp the road from the nortli through the vallev of the Ourrn. i while Jouarre bars thi valley of the Marne At Faero!lis the Germans are i near Ferte-Mlion. while thv hat to go far to reach Jouarre Then-fore it may be expected that thev will direct their chief efforts against the former i Happily the French have extremely strong positions In the forest of Vlllers Cottercts and may be relied on to make the best possible use of their advantage ' One other great adntage held by' the French is that fine country between I Chateau Thierry and Mllon. through ' which the enemy must advance In this region. If the Germans attempt to push their attacking miss of 600.000 men through this narrow- corridor be fore they succeeded In enlarging the pis sage either to the right or the left, they will take a risk which Foch would not be slow to turn to enormous advantage, now that so many of his roaenes arc on the spot Meanwhile it Is satisfactory to note that In their desperate effort to obtain the long-sought decisive victory, the Germans are using up their divisions regardless of cost In human material This and the steady inflow of French reserves are alreadv tending to nmnn sate for, the numerical superiority from which the enemy benefited at the begin ning of his drive southward Allied IteftrrTi- Felt While the Germans Monday gained ' seme ground, the maximum depth of their advance wa much less than on I the day before, which, in turn, was' smaller than on the previous day. The, entry of our reserves Is making Itself1, I felt more and more 'very hour Allied aruuery is neing nrougnt up in greater and greater weight and opinion hero is fully confident that In a very short time the enemy will again be brought to a standstill, as after his tremendt.ns attack In the end of March In Picardy. I It was between the forest of Vlllers- Cotterets and the Marne that the Ger- . mans made their principal effort Mon- , day, with tho object of forcing a pas sage of the Ourcq In this wide Rector, which is of the greatest strategic im portance, tho fighting swayed backward and forward. At first the Allied line-, under the pressure of enormous masses of the enemy troops, was bent toward the eastern fringes of Villers-Cotterets forest, and the enemy was able to get a footing In four small villages "But counter-attacks of our soldiers," says the Matin, "made with extraor dinary dash and go. gave us back all four of these places The German how. ever, refused to accept this check, and once more made a furious assault on the villages, throwing fn all their strength and enduring enormous sacri fices of life Onlv at Faverolles had he any success, for in the other three vil lages our troops held firm against the nost desperate onslaughts riianed With IlayonMs "In the district west of tho Neullly Salnt Front, where the enemy had suc ceeded In making some pi ogress, French troops drove the Germans back In dis order and chased them with the bayonet to Passy-en-Valols. Following up their advantage the French seized Hill 163, which dominates the district to the west." i On the extreme south the enemy made little progress toward the west of Chateau-Thierry, of which he occupies a part, on the northern bank of tho Marne. On our right wing, however, further east toward the Rhelms-Dormans road, the French counter-attacked and recov ered the villages cf Champlat and some ground toward Ville-en-Tardenols, while powerful attacks against Carlepont Wood and the village of Moulln-sous-Touvent were broken and the latter place retaken by French troopa This Is not a bad day's balance sheet for armies outnumbered by three lo one. The French never fight better than when with their backs against the wall, and French fury In fighting never was bet ter displayed. The favorable facts are that, broadly speaking, the enemy's rush appears to have been largely stayed, and that be tween the banks of the Alsne and the forest of Villers-Cotterets, which Is the center of our resistance, the ground Is distinctly in our favor. The forest named, together with that of Compelgne, la admirably adapted, thanks to abun dant foliage at the present moment to enable the Allied troops to concentrate out of sight of the enemy airmen and to make their way well Into the field of action AMERICAN VICTORS IN FIRST BIG FIGHT , WlilnBton, June 5 American troops have gone Into action to 'make the world a decent place to live in," and acquitted themselves bril liantly.
