Levres, Del., June 8.
A running fight between a German
submarine and a large steamship oc
curred about fiv c miles oft shore from Re
hoboth late yesterday afternoon. The
Steamship escaped.
Scores of persons, with the aid of
binoculars, watched breathlessly from
the'beach'vvhlle the attack of the LMjoat
upon the steamship, which resembled a
transport, was In progress,
j The discovery today of seventeen
more mines near Cape Henlopcn leads to
the belief that they were placed there
by thq V-boat while it wai here yes
terday, The mines, It Is believed, were
placed within the last twenty-four hours.
Fighting craft of all classes are rush
ing here this afternoon.
The steamship hoe Into sight about
6 o'clock. She was proceeding on a
lelbiirely course up the coast toward the
entrance to the Delaware Day. A few
minutes later she suddenly put on full
steam ahead, as a streak of flame
flashed from a lowly-lying object some
distance In her wake, and the roar of
the first shot from the submarine rolled
shoreward. Presumably the U-boat had
first launched a torpedo at tho steam
ship and had missed. The sea asp then
rose to the surface and opened fire with
her deck guns.
Kxrhange of Shots
Great clouds of black smoke poured
from the steamship's one funnel as she
made a dash to escape. Several more
hhclls were sent after her by the sub
marine before the steamship's aft gun
was brought Into action against the U
boat, A few ahots vvere exchanged,
with neither the pursucr?.or the pur;,
sued apparently scorlng'a"h1t?nnd then
tho U-boat dropped behind and soon was
lot from view In tho heavy fog, which
hung over the capes.
The fleeing vessel, zigzagging fran
tically, dashed to safety Inside tho
breakwater. A few minutes later two
torpedoboat destroyers, evidently at
tracted by distress calls of the steam'
shfp, sounded by her siren, appeared
outside the breakwater and circled In
near the spot where the attack was
made. Darkness found them still
searching for the submarine, which may
have found it an easy matter to evade
them In the for.
The attack took place not far from
fhe spot where the steamship Herbert
L. Pratt was sunk on Monday,
Xni Hunt for Mine
Tn addition to the mines discovered
today, it Is believed that other mines
are floating. Several mine sweepers and
' patrol boats are scanning the water
closely.
A cruiser, two patrol boats and two
chasers arc hunting for the U-hoat.
They are hovering about the scene
where It was seen last, as it is believed
that It was mcrel" 'merged (o pre
pare for another attack.
NORWEGIAN VESSEL
IS U-BOAT VICTIM
Washington, June 8.
There has been no official confirma
tion of the persistent reports of the
capture of ope of the German subma
rine raiders by an American destroyer,
but there was a formal announcement
of the sinking of tho Norwegian
f steamship Vlnland the latest victim
( of the unrestrictecTwarfare off the At
lantic coast.
The Vlnland was reported to have
been sunk by a submarine sixty-five
miles off the coast of Virginia about 6
o'clock "Wednesday night. The vessel
was attacked, the crew ordered to
leave and the Germans boarded her
and sunk her with bombs. Nineteen
men comprising the crew were landed
at Cape May yesterday. The Navy
Department had no information on the
cargo or the destination of the
'schooner.

being Investigated today by Federal au
thorities who are trying to figure
causes for the recent light registration ,
of draft ellglbles and for the apparently
small number of .voune jnen now avail
able in class A for military service.
"L'nfatr classification" of ellglbles is
charged to ill aft boaid members said
to have been Influenced by political
"wire-pulling" that resulted In eligible'
registrants dodging nrmy service.
Todd Daniels, Assistant Vnlted States
District Attorney, who is co-operating
with the Department of Justice in in
vestigating these charges, declared that
there has been brought to thf Govern
ment's attention, frequent Instances of
these "political evasions."
"Wc have gathered many evidence
of political Influences at work," said Mr.
Daniels, after ho had given renewed or
ders to his men to "get" any politician
found tampering with selective service
activities "In South Philadelphia many
wards where powerful political leaders
stand in with members of the draf
hoards, and In some eases where the
draft officials arc political tools, then
have been mysterious doings tending
toward evasion of the draft"
Speclfle Instnnres Heporteil
Mr. Daniels declared tiiat specific in
stances had been brought to the attcn
ttoji of the Department of Justice, and
that these are being run down by his
men He could no reveal any 0 the
cases, he staled, hut as soon as they an
unearthed they wilt be made public.
"It's a serious offense," he continued
"and punishable with indictment and
conviction under the espionage law."
He said that his men had also come
upon cases where Injustice had beei
done to young men, who had drawn upoi
them the hatred of political bosses by

These men, he said. In some cases were
entitled to deferred classification, but

Particular attention Is to be paid by
Major Mudorck to districts where the

the draft officials believe it should
have been. Pro-German propagandists,
working among the foreign element,
are believed to have been largely re

INDORSED BY M'KENTY
Piesldent WIIon has under consid

Warden McKenty, of the Kastein Pen

declared that It it should be adopted
60 per cent of the penitential y inmates
would be available nt once for active
service.
"The men should he allowed to en

heartily agrcrt with Mrs. Booth In that.
A large percentage of our men here

straight as a string. And they will go
on living straight when they leavo the
prison If society will allow them. But
just suppose men now between the ages
of twenty-one and thirty -one are not
allowed to serve their country.
"After they are released society will
ask, 'Were vou In the war?' And then
the natural questions, 'Why, where were
you? What vvcie you doing.' What

ordnance production was not moving
forward entirely to their satisfaction A
serious phase of the recent German
drive, they said, was that It brought the
German artillery dangerously close to

like that of last week would bring their
guns within range of some plants.

this feature of the advance constituted
something of a menace It was added,
however, that tho French had many
other ordnance plants further to the

The troop movement since June 1 fell
off somewhat, the committee also heard.
This, it was explained, was not due to
the German submarine activities on this
side of the Atlantic, but to the inability
to supply shipping sufficient to keep up
